Hello. Welcome to the Library. This is a little space for me to share the media I consume and vouch for. These lists scratch the surface of what I have watched and enjoyed, but I made sure to collect the ones that I have an attachment to. I may share my thoughts about each of them.
🟊Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (fave): Most rewatched of them all.
🟊Cardcaptor Sakura: The music, the vibes, and the outfits...ICONIC.
🟊Inuyasha (fave/first): Rumiko Takahashi's art style has the biggest influence on my own. A classic that I never get tired of watching.
🟊KareKano: Very dramatic but the monologues are some of my favorite. Sometimes I see myself in the main character in a good and bad way.
🟊Fruits Basket: Very sweet story with very hard pills to swallow...worth the watch! I enjoy the first adaptation and the remake.
🟊Full Moon wo Sagashite: I always prepare myself before I watch. The last many episodes always give me a good cry. One of the rare cases where I find the adaptation to be better than the book!?
🟊Gintama: Always gives me a good laugh. Does a great job at shifting the tone when a serious arc come up.
🟊Natsume Yuujinchou (fave): Beautiful story. The main character is so sweet and it's nice to see him make so many yokai friends.
🟊Ouran Highschool Host Club: Feels like it should be a classic? There's so many memorable scenes that I still quote today.
🟊Tokyo Mew Mew (first): One of my introductions to the magical girl and shoujo genre.
🟊Onegai My Melody (first): My first actual anime. I was seated for My Melody and Kuromi's antics. The opening themes are terribly catchy.
🟊Durarara: Entertaining to watch the many story lines come together in the end.
🟊Azumanga Daioh: Vey cute and easy-going show. I love the characters and he shenanigans they get into.
🟊Attack on Titan (unfinished): The suspense and action always gets me. The story is just so good.
🟊The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
🟊Summer Wars
🟊Acchi Kocchi (fave): Maybe my favorite romcom. It's nothing fun and absurdity. I enjoy that the episodes are short.
🟊Fullmetal Alchemist (fave): Most reread of them all. I can talk all day about FMA.
🟊Chainsaw Man Pt. 1 (fave): Storytelling is topnotch. I just wish that so many characters didn't have to die.
🟊Ouran Highschool Host Club: Very funny and cute. So many memorable moments and even though it's a satire, it's still a great romance manga.
🟊One Piece (fave): The world-building is amazing. Fell in love with the main cast and discovering how everything has meaning.
🟊Tokyo Ghoul: Favorite manga artist. Loved the story and its tone.
🟊One Punch Man (art by: Yusuke Murata): The art is eye-catching and inspiring. I like the variety of characters.
🟊Gakuen Alice: (unfinished): Really wish I could finish but fan translations make it hard. The story is really good and feels like a mix of Fruits Basket and Harry Potter?
🟊Kimi ni Todoke: Sweet coming-of-age story where I honestly felt lke I was in Sawako's shoes. She's so cute and relatable! Side characters' journeys are great to read too!
🟊Pandora Hearts (fave): Really amazing story. I wish there was a full adaptation of it. ANother case of a story that's clearly been planned from the start.
🟊Short Cake Cake: Cute light-hearted story. It was very fast-paced and has cute friendships.
🟊Houseki no Kuni: The main character goes through so many changes. I was rooting for them at the start but, was conflicted by their decisions later in the story. I still think I need to reread all the chapters to make sense of what's right and wrong.
NINTENDO:
🟊Splatoon 2-3: Very good game, but super addicting. I have a competitive spirit, so sometimes it's hard to stop. But the aesthetics are off the hook. My favorite mode is Salmon Run and I love playing Rainmaker.
🟊Animal Crossing (New Leaf, New Horizons)
🟊The Legend of Zelda (Four Swords, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom): I need a Four Swords and Twilight Princess remaster on the Switch! Twilight Princess is my favorite. It was one of my first experiences taking on a game that made me nervous. The Shadow Beasts and Fire Temple boss freaked me out as a kid. But man!! Defeating the bosses was always one of the most satisfying parts of the game.
🟊Mario Bros. (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey)
🟊Super Smash Bros. (Melee/Ultimate)
🟊Rhythm Heaven
PLAYSTATION:
🟊Persona Series (3/Portable/Reload, 4, 5): My current interest. My favorite might be 5 but it might be first impression bias? 3 is sad but the story's message about death is SO GOOD. 4 has a compelling thriller/mystery going on. I have a couple of favorite characters from it too. 5 has an eye-catching art direction and pretty cool story about standing up for what you believe is right. I love the soundtrack for all three!
🟊Final Fantasy VII Remake
🟊Resident Evil (2 Remake, 4/Remake, 5): RE2 remake is the first horror game I completed. Now I enjoy the series. I enjoy playing RE4 original the most. Resident Evil does a great job at rewarding you after fighting your fears. I like that.
PC:
🟊Lethal Company
🟊PEAK
TV SHOWS:
🟊Avatar: The Last Airbender (fave)
🟊Abbott Elementary (fave): Fun show with fun characters. I don't watch TV much but I did look forward to getting through Wednesdays to see a new episode.
🟊Stranger Things: I'm so excited for the finale.
🟊Hell's Kitchen: Something about this show is so addicting. There's so many genuinely hilarious moments and lines that I think about often.
🟊Pinnocchio [2014]: Really good story about a girl who can't lie that becomes a reporter. Was my introduction to Kdrama.

MOVIES:
🟊Anything Spider-Man (fave): My favorite superhero.
🟊Fantastic Mr. Fox
🟊Princess and the Frog (fave): I appreciate it being the last 2D-animated Disney movie. I used to watch this film so many times to the point where I knew the lines by heart. I still remember the excitement of having a Disney princess look like me being released. I wish Tiana got more recognition.

🟊It [2017] (fave)

🟊Beauty and the Beast (fave): Alongside Tiana, Belle is my favorite princess.
MUSIC:
🟊BTS (fave): My first favorite Kpop group. My favorite album is "Wings". (On a side note: They're possibly the last "active" group I'm anticipating. Over 2024, I grew out of Kpop and am just waiting for their next release.)
🟊Red Velvet
🟊LOONA (fave): Had so much fun supporting this group. They had an amazing pre-debut run with great music and a connected music video universe.
🟊GWSN (fave)
🟊GORILLAZ
🟊YUKIKA (fave): "Soul Lady" is one of my favorite albums of all-time. City pop is my favorite music genre!

🟊pinkpantheress
🟊VOCALOID (fave)
🟊Hamilton (fave!!): It's nearly been more than a decade and I still am obsessed. I quote the lyrics in my everyday life.
🟊The Phantom of the Opera
NOVELS:
🟊Jurassic Park: I had only just finished reading it (Summer 2025), but I didn't expect how wild it would be. I guess it would count as my first horror novel, and I think it's good. Needed to brace myself for the brutal dinosaur attack scenes.
🟊Mo Dao Zu Shi (fave): Really good series. Had fun unraveling the mysteries and enjoyed the chemistry between the leads. Didn't expect the horror elements to come on my first read.
🟊The Fault in Our Stars: This is a book I need to reread. I used to love it so much when I was a teen.
🟊The Phantom of the Opera: I found the drama and the "phantom's" reveal so entertaining.
