Pretty good game. Characters are all really fun and the end was... honestly a little predictable once it got to that point, but still emotional.

Media #1: Secrets of the Silent Witch. I really started this year off with a bang, this show is SO DAMN GOOD. Like omg, the main character is so cute and silly and ✨️traumatized✨️, and a bindle of social anxiety, also she's like, really strong. The rest of the cast is fantastic too. HIGHLY recommend!

Well, I did a Media Thread for 2025, now let's do one for 2026!! Hopefully I can finish more than 38 things this year, but we'll see.

Media #38: Girlfriend, Girlfriend. I started watching this on a whim because of TikTok, but oh my god it's so funny for no reason sometimes and all the characte4s (except Milika) are incredibly lovable. It explores a kinda poly relationship, they try to figure it out as they go along. It's charming.

Media #37: Okay, this one might be cheating and technically wouldn't count. But I did end up wrapping up my very first DnD campaign that I DMd! So I will count it because it took up a GREAT deal of my time. You can read the whole campaign recap on my WorldAnvil!!! www.worldanvil.com/w/aftolmousa...

Media #36: The Mighty Nein. An animated adaptation of Critical Role's second campaign. This show is phenomenal, great animation, and getting to remeet these characters in a new way is so good. And this wouldn't exist without The Legend of Vox Machina, which I did parricipate in the Crowdfunding for.

Media #35: Hazbin Hotel season 1. Meant to post this way earlier. But I finally sat down and watched it. It's really fun and can be pretty funny. It gets way too much hate for no reason. But the songs are catchy, though they do feel very Broadway-y (not that that's a bad thing). Gun recommendation.

Media #34: It Takes Two. Again, I played with @charcoal190.bsky.social on stream, and this ga e is just so incredibly fun. The levels are incredibly detailed and well designed, and the emotional moments of the game really do hit. I can definitely see why this won game of the year in 2021.

Media #33: Trails of Cold Steel. This was a replay, as I hadn't played it in a while and I was coming off the high from Sky. This was my first Trails game, and after having played the whole reat of the series, seeing everything that was referenced and set up, holy shit this series is amazing.

Friendly reminder that you’re in complete control of your fandom experience. Although every community has its bad actors you are 100% in control of when you walk away from them and how much you let it bother you. You’re always in control.

Media #32: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Remake. A remake of the game that started probably the best RPG series of all time. And holy shit do we have an amazingly fun experience. There's so much yo gush about it will not fit in a single post lol. I cannot wait for Second Chapter Remake!!!

Samantha (Novamaru) @novamarusami.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Media #31: Dr. Stone Science Future. Despite the wnd of Episode 24, I BELIEVE that we have seen the final episode for the current season and it will continue next year? Anyways this season had one of the most brutal series of episodes only to then be followed by hope. Cannot wait for the rest!

Media #30: My Dress-Up Darling Season 2. I had watched the first season back when Crunchyroll still had comments, and I remember some really funny ones. Anyways this show is super cute but also a little risqué. It focuses a lot on the details of cosplay and even surprised me with some info I knew.

Samantha (Novamaru) @novamarusami.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Media #29: Aharen-san is Indecipherable. This show is SUPER cute, and is a rare case where it has a finished story. The relationship that blossoms between the rather monotone MC and the Quiet main girl is adorable. There's also a lot of funny moments and fun references as well.

Samantha (Novamaru) @novamarusami.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Media #28: Dandadan Season 2. This season was great. I'd already caught up with the manga, so I already knew what was going on. But seeing everything in motion just makes things that much better. It also ends on a MUCH better note than last season, still a cliffhanger but not a like... terrible one.

Media #27: A Way Out. Holy shit, this game was phenomenal. I played with @charcoal190.bsky.social and had a great time. The presentation and cinematography were absolutely outstanding, and the ending was just like, holy shit. Do yourself a favor and grab yourself a friend to play this game with.

Media #26: Donkey Kong Bananza. This game was incredibly fun. A lot of smashing things and a little platforming challenge. I did feel it kind of dragged on for a bit near the end, but the last Layer was awesome, and kind of what I felt more of the game should have been. Pauline was adorable too.

Samantha (Novamaru) @novamarusami.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Media #25: Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. A fantastic first part to the final arc of Demon Slayer. I'm still confused as to why they opted for 3 movies instead of just a final season. But holy shit, the animation was beautiful as always, cinematography was outstanding. And Zenitsu locked the fuck in

Samantha (Novamaru) @novamarusami.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Media #24: Pastel☆Parade. Totally forgot to do this after playing this on stream. Fun game, a Rhythm Heaven-like, I've never played Rhythm Heaven before in my life. Characters are silly and the art is cute. Some of the minigames were kinda bullshit though. I think a 6, maybe 7/10 is fair for it.

Idk if it's just me. But I kinda despise the term "boymode". Like I understand its intentions when you're not out/safe. But when I'm 5+ years into this shit, out to everyone, if I'm in "boy clothes" no the fuck I'm not. I'm just in clothes. No boymode, no girlmode, just... mode.

Media #23: Dr. Stone (Season 3).Yup, I'm binging this series lmao. It's super good, we got the building of a ship, started unraveling some of the mysteries of the world's petrification, and Senku ending off the season essentially being like "We're going to the moon!" Season 4, here I come.

100

Samantha (Novamaru) @novamarusami.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Media #22: Dr. Stone (Season 2). Weirdly only 11 episodes as opposed to season 1's 26, it really just expands on the story even more, giving a lot more science stuff and also making me cry at the end. Totally looking forward to what's coming next! 2 more seasons! (I think season 4 is still airing)

Media #21: Dr. Stone (Season 1). Absolutely fantastic show, taking place in essentially a Post-Apocalyptic World 3,700 years in the future after all of humanity turned to Stone. Focuses on Senku, who wants to rebuild civilization with the power of Science. And yeah, there's a lot of real science.

Media #20: Name in Image and Alt Text (Season 1). A really fun take on having an OP protagonist who just becomes OP because he's having fun. If you can look past the bad fanservice, it's incredibly enjoyable, but I completely understand if some things turn you away. Japan doing weird shit again.

Media #19: Kemono Friends Season 2. Yes, separate seasons count for separate medias. This was certainly a follow up to season 1. And by that I mean not at all. Answered no questions that Season 1 left me and also left me with more. Kyururu is not as good a protagonist as Kaban. Still enjoyable tho.

Samantha (Novamaru) @novamarusami.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Media #18: Title in Image and Alt Text (Season 1). This show has such a dumb premise but it's like, really fun. Boxxo, the Vending machine, is basically a guy who was autistic for Vending Machines. Lamice, the main girl, is really fun and adorable, and just overall endearing. I def recommend a try.

Media #17: Final Fantasy V. This might be my favorite of the Pixel Remasters that I've played so far. I love the improvements to the Job System over 3, though I do have my own issues with it. And the story, while nothing super impressive, is still really good. Also Gilgamesh is a peak character.

Media #16: Kemono Friends. I really slept on this series for so long. Finally watching it with @charcoal190.bsky.social. It's actually like, really fun??? Wasn't completely what I expected but plot really went heavy in the last 2 episodes. Animation is better than Berserk 2016 but worse than BFDI.

Samantha (Novamaru) @novamarusami.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Media #15: Final Fantasy III. Yes, I skipped 2. FF3 was really fun and enjoyable, I love having a Job Class system, but I'm not super big on how it's handled here, there's almost no reason to swap jobs and "master" them. And there's too few points where a job is required. Otherwise, fun game.
