114: Nightcrawler (1985) This one was just full on hijinks. I think it got a bit TOO silly near the end but Kurt getting to be a central character was really fun, he’s easily one of my faves so it’s fun to follow him as he is tormented by bizarre situations.

113: Firestar (1986) Surprised by how much I liked this story arc. Emma Frost establishing herself well a a villain by gaslighting a child to become an assassin was a really fun and investing plot, it’s probably my favorite non-Claremont X-Men adjacent story yet.

112: Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion This show had a really strong start and the main character is a lot of fun. I do think the latter half kinda meanders, though - it didn’t get far enough to adapt the most interesting stuff it builds up to. Hope for a sequel.

111: Kitty Pryde & Wolverine I'm not HUGE on the recurring "Wolverine in Japan" plots per se, but it was fun seeing Kitty get a lot of development into "Shadowcat", and it was a generally fun run with some really fun uses of her power.

110: Secret Wars (1984) Another event read for my X-Men binge. It's a bit of a mess ONLY having X-Men context, and they're a bit rough here, but it's still fun, especially Doom's role. It's funny how Spidey and the symbiote suit are BARELY present in it.

109: Magik (1983) Finally reaching the character that made me want to read X-Men in the first place. Very cool origin story for a character that is instantly super interesting even among a loaded cast like the New Mutants. Excited to see more from her with time.

108: Wolverine (1982) Another one for the X-men binge. It has some very stereotypical ideas of Japan, but as a Logan introspective piece it does some great stuff, and the art and paneling are fantastic.

107: Marvel Super Hero: Contest of Champions Read as part of my X-Men binge, it’s just banging toys together with minimal context. It’d be a bit more fun if there weren’t so many awkward racial stereotypes (one in particular being a major oof). It certainly existed.

106: Absolute Martian Manhunter Easily one of the most creative comics I've ever read. It's dense in visuals and writing style in a way that can make it difficult to parse at times, but is so creative in its visuals, layout, and concepts that it never loses you. Fantastic book.

105: An American Tail I don’t recall if I have ever seen this movie, and a lot of Don Bluth stuff is a blind spot for me. It’s a very cute and sincere film with a lot of gorgeous backgrounds and lovely character animation, just a generally sweet experience.

104: The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police Incredibly funny show that tells more jokes in one episode than some comedies tell in an entire season. It can get a bit exhausting but I had a good time with it and would like to check out more Sam & Max, especially the games.

103: X-Men: The Animated Series Finally finished this after starting a few years back. This is such a cool cartoon and I’m jealous that I didn’t grow up with it. Lot of fun characters and ideas, and it helped get me into the actual comics. Excited to finally watch ‘97.

102: The X-Men (Original Run) Issues 1-66, before it was canned for a few years. Fascinating to see the tone develop over time. It wasn’t amazing - I skimmed a lot - but felt like it found its footing once Neal Adams was on the art. Interested to see things develop beyond this.

101: Witch Hat Atelier S1 Finally finished the anime thus far with my sister. It’s such a good adaptation of the manga, it truly lives up to the impossible task of doing so. And wow the sub is phenomenal, some of the best, most passionate performances I’ve heard in a while.

100: The Unbelievable Gwenpool Absolutely adored this series. Gwenpool is a super charming character and they do incredibly creative things with her post-modern concept, and I always adore art from Gurihiru. I hope her zany story gets to continue for a long, long time.

99: Seven Samurai I’ve meant to watch this for a while, and while it’s different than expected - much more slow and methodical than it’s cool-samurai-dudes reputation suggests - it’s just as good as I heard. I loved these characters and their priceless journey. Fantastic film.

98: X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills Making an effort to read some short comics, and have been interested in the X-Men. I’ve been told this is the definitive standalone X-Men story, and I understand why. Really examines the mutants as a minority and the dangers of a silver tongue.

97: Taskmaster Australia s5 Very fun season. Took a while to get used to this chaotic cast but it had some really big highlights. Brett’s tendency to either nail it or give up in seconds was fun, and Joel’s entire saga with the “find Tom” task was hysterical.

95: Rock is a Lady’s Modesty Incredibly fun show. I read some of the manga, but the production (including really good cgi) and music added a lot. There were some running gags I didn’t care for, but the high octane intensity and a really charming lead made for a great time.

94: The Phantom of the Opera Saw live as my first real time seeing it. Very cool musical, as expected. The effects and chandelier and all the wild sets were the highlights - they really took advantage of the medium in fun ways. Happy to cross this one off the bucket list.

93: I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History Had a weak start and the romance is middling at best, but I had fun with this one! It was definitely at its best with the dynamic between the villainess and heroine, and its more political focus. Not amazing, but a good time.

92: Bad End Theater Very brief, charming puzzle VN about playing with character behaviors to see every bad end possible (and maybe a good end?) and I really enjoyed it. Lovely visuals and characters made a simple premise work really well, and it had some fun queer elements.

91: EXIT: The Circus Mystery I keep forgetting I count these. This has some real cool puzzles and gimmicks, though a lot of the difficulty was in some janky mechanical issues or some weird solutions. Still, fun time, though not one I’d suggest for someone’s first escape game.

90: Tamon’s B-Side Very cute and fun shoujo about an idol fangirl learning he’s the exact opposite of his public persona. The cast was fun and the dub was great, but I hope it gets a sequel, because a lot of emotional arcs were left open in the end. Still, great time!

89: To Be Hero X Finally finished this and it’s one of the most gripping animated shows I’ve seen in a hot minute. Tons of creative visuals and an amazing ensemble cast, it’s genuinely awe-inspiring - y’all GOTTA try it. I need a season 2 more than I need some organs, I think.

88: The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom Unfortunately dull villainess anime that doesn’t really do much interesting with the formula. I like the fairy kings and my sis and I found Keith funny, but it lacked personality compared to others we’ve seen.

87: One Piece Live Action S2 Took a while to finish this but it was a real fun season that amped up the tokusatsu goofiness and continued to be a digestible way for my family to get into One Piece. Love how much they committed to the wild designs of Baroque Works, especially.
