35. Zambot 3 (rewatch) first time seeing this in HD, which meant seeing how wildly inconsistent the animation quality is from shot to shot in full view. absolutely brutal and nihilistic show in the back third, i can see where yoko taro and others get it from. bravo, tomino (and kanada)!

34. Railgun S1 (Rewatch) saten my beloved, still really enjoy most of the anime-original episodes, especially the final arc and how it rounds out Level Upper from the manga by giving Kiyama a proper send-off, along with all the other goofy eps in the back half. also, yamauchi's ep whips!

32. Dragon Ball Daima while this suffers from some wonky pacing at points, the new charas and general tone are stellar, and show what only direct involvement from Toriyama himself can bring, alongside some of the best production values the series has seen outside of movies. Thank you, Toriyama.

31. Symphogear S1 (rewatch) i have little new to say about s1 these days, but it's a humble start with a lot of heart, and there's still bits in the final stretch that get me fucked up. also, discotek noelle's new TL does to elevate things with more unique character voice, highly rec'd! still peak

29. Dangaizer 3 one of the most obari-ass obari OVAs ever made, also has one of the most batshit insane abrupt 90s OVA endings i've seen for one of these by far, great tits, great robots, great action, what the fuck was that script little bro

28. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown a real return to form for the series, and while I have some misgivings about the bifurcated (and elongated) mission structure that the mid-mission checkpoints allow for, they also provide the chance for some of the most bonkers setpieces in franchise history.

27. ARIEL VISUAL/Deluxe Ariel went into this 4-episode OVA knowing virtually nothing aside from the author going on to write Mouretsu Pirates, and came out the other end with a surprisingly good and fun SF kaiju romp with a truly iconic giant robot girl design. easy rec for Ultra series fans!

26. Devil Blade Reboot pure strain hot blooded caravan shmup gaming, got the 1cc on normal without much fuss and enjoyed every second of it! i would def recommend this as a great "beginner" shmup alongside games like crimzon clover and eschatos for people looking to get into shmups in general.

25. Red Rocket profoundly uncomfortable and darkly funny, Simon Rex absolutely nails the intensely greasy dirtbag energy demanded of Mikey "Saber" Davies, and the uncinematic nature of multiple scenes really sell the discomfort, i gotta watch more sean baker if his other stuff is this cutting

24. Le Portrait en Petit Cossette (Rewatch) whoops forgot I watched this last week, enjoyed this weirdo pure strain horror shinbo OVA with a fresh eye, especially fun the ways in which it feels like a precursor to visual motifs continued in Madoka as well as iterating on soultaker's, cool shit!

23. Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai went in expecting a goofy comedy based on the name and premise, what I got instead was an intensely moody and compelling crime movie with a very unique protagonist for the genre, also RZA's score is worth the price of admission alone. don't fuck with the pigeons!

Matt.exe @mattdotexe.bsky.social · 07/02/2025
22. Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War very smartly made and more concise than the previous two games in the Holy Trinity, big fan of how it ties the mechanics of the game's economy into your Ace Style (do you want to do war crimes for more $$$). also Zero is an all time final boss track

21. Blue Archive Volume 1 Chapter 3: Traces of a Dream it's peak, while the release period for this was protracted to a frankly criminal degree, i cried so much i can't even stay mad. wonderful capstone to isakusan's work on the game!

20. Mai-HiME (rewatch) still a cool show, though to nitpick a bit I felt like the more dramatic episodes didn't hit as hard for me this time around, it just felt a bit basic compared to Otome and i'm really looking forward to rewatching that as a result. also, haruka my beloved

19. Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san cute little food anime adaptation with a killer OP/ED combo and some creative visual flairs here and there, though it's held back by an absolute mood killing stalker chara being the primary POV through which we see the enigmatic and funny koizumi. could've been better!

18. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War what if ace combat 4 had More? greatly appreciate the expanded focus on story and compelling setpieces here, even if the lack of mid-mission checkpoints does lead to some annoyances with waiting through a bunch of (sometimes) unskippable dialogue. incredible game!

Matt.exe @mattdotexe.bsky.social · 28/01/2025
17. Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies what can really be said about ac4 at this point? a true classic of arcade dogfighting games, with the semi-dynamic radio chatter, incredible music and hand-drawn interludes doing a lot to elevate an otherwise simple story to greatness. wish the maps were smaller tho

16. Zeiram 2 (rewatch) zeiram, times two! excellent sequel that adds quite a bit of extra flair to the proceedings, with a slick new design for the title monster, a cooler suit for iria, and an all new dirtbag guy in fujikuro (lol). even better setpieces, choreo and effects work too!

15. El Paso, Elsewhere after initially dropping and refunding the game for having a crappy shootdodge, i went back and gave it another chance after loving I Am Your Beast by the same dev. mid gameplay, excellent story and music! while my complaints about the length stand i def rec giving it a shot!

14. Kimi no Iro another Naoko Yamada classic, totsuko is another in a long line of unique protagonists for her as a deeply self-motivated and faithful individual whose synesthesia is worked into both the compositing and music of the film, which is a great goofy, yet bittersweet time. amen!

13. Jumping Flash! 2 it's more jumping flash!!! lots more great surreal imagery in this one that feels as much an influence on games like yume nikki et al as LSD is, also the english voice acting for the player character being from some generic white dude is very funny to me, great little time!

12. The Mask (1994) somehow never saw this one before, i can't believe they just put unedited footage of jim carrey in this movie and didn't even use cg or anything! jokes aside, funny movie (very of its time) that makes great use of early 90s cg to mimic classic squash and stretch animation

11. Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (JP) this is in the pantheon of best comprehensive game aesthetics ever crafted on the sony playstation, bar none. while i had some issues with the controls and turning radius of planes compared to 2, it's hard to not respect the wild swings it takes in all regards.

10. Jumping Flash i love to double jump and shoot, wild vision of what 3d platformers could be before mario 64 that actually works as intended, truly the playstation can produce mind-boggling effects

9. Ace Combat 2 insane glow-up of a sequel from the first game, with dramatically improved presentation and controls from the introduction of the dual analog controller the year it was released, banger soundtrack too. very excited to loop back around to the 3ds remake later!

8. Zeiram (rewatch) still fucking peaks, the special effects work on the title monster is genuinely incredible. bravo, keita amemiya!

7. Air Combat while i've dabbled in the ps2 ace combats and fallen off them in the past, this is my first full experience going through a mainline title in the series. absolutely wild how much of the core gameplay loop is already fully formed here, and it's got some rockin' tunes too!

Matt.exe @mattdotexe.bsky.social · 15/01/2025
6. Mummy Sandbox found this one through a demo of the dev's current project in the newest Haunted PS1 demo disk compilation, this game is about as weird and striking as Z. Bill's other project (Scissors in Hell), also has some truly grimy FM chiptunes that sound like they came straight out of GEMS!

Matt.exe @mattdotexe.bsky.social · 13/01/2025
5. Beyond Citadel truly unique experience, the tactical reload mechanics (unique per weapon) and greater focus on narrative compared to the original really helps set it apart from the glut of "boomer shooters" on the market right now, on top of its anime/dlsite-core aesthetics and gore. easy rec!

4. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sick game, i wish i could simply throw crabs, beds and platbooms at all of my problems in life

Matt.exe @mattdotexe.bsky.social · 08/01/2025
3. Mazinkaiser (rewatch) the platonic ideal of Mazinger adaptations, i may like The Impact! more for how imagawa throws the viewer in the deep end with an anchor tied to their leg but Kaiser gives you a perfect summation of the franchise's appeal and also man, Mazinkaiser is such a cool-ass robot.
Picture of Boss leaning out of Boss Borot from Mazinkaiser saying "To the fifty million Borot fans in the country, thank you for waiting!"

2. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - a year and change late here, and 7 years out from beating breath of the wild in 2017, but man, they hit it out of the park in almost all the ways that matter to me, esp with the dungeon/boss variety + challenge - incredible final area + boss!

1. Uma Musume: Pretty Derby - BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA - good god, what a start to the year for me LMAO, absolutely incredible sports anime film, would recommend it to anyone, also some crazy cartooning and faces you'd never expect out of a bishoujo-y franchise like this. Thank you, Ken Yamamoto.

oh right i guess i was on the sakuga account list, better live up to that! Chinashi's Puniru #07 was insanely good my god, a tour de force on basically every creative and narrative level for what the series is going for, excellent layout work and cartooning throughout the four skits of the ep.
