SPY x FAMILY (Season 1) i finished this like two weeks ago but forgot to put it here......... anyway. there's a spy and there's a family. checks out
Novel: Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: ~Mighty Novel X~ the way Yuya Takahashi sets this up as some sort of character study for Emu and the full backstory given to him is so fascinating (and also horrifying if you think abt the implications) it paints all of Emu's actions throughout +
Ex-Aid in a new light, delving deeper into his motivations and everything I love the fact that most of the characters use what they have learned from Emu to save him. it shows just how influential Emu has been in their lives, while also showing how much they have grown. +
the ending felt kinda rushed especially after such a packed middle point, but overall it was a nice read and there are tons of really cool character moments.
Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Riders (REWATCH) was in an ex-aid mood and decided to rewatch this for like the fourth time. still my favorite KR crossover movie even though reiwagen came close
Mass Effect 1 (Original, not LE) if there's a definition of a 'solid game' this is probably it. the worldbuilding is great but the main story is just okay. the gameplay is either fun or really dumb. the choices are nice but very one dimensional. garrus and tali are cool.
probably my favorite thing about this is not the main missions. just vibing around and exploring the different planets is so fun and im sad they're gonna do away with that in the next installments
Kamen Rider Heisei Generations: Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Riders i've only seen ex-aid. anw. even if I'm familiar with the other seasons I would still pick Final over this because that movie is better paced and doesn't meander as much. even the section with +
ex-aid characters felt a little too drawn out. still a good watch, though! love how they integrated ex-aid lore and used zaizen as the main baddie since he's important but also not also that important in setting off the events of ex-aid.
arbitrary crossover movies ranking that I've seen: heigen final > movie war megamax > reiwagen > heigen > heigen forever > movie war 2010 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> movie war core
Mass Effect 2 i love the cast of characters so much, they carry the game so hard because otherwise this game is kinda by the numbers the main plot is weak and full of contrivances. i do kinda like the gameplay, but they also overcorrected a lot of good things from ME1
