Good manga, I enjoyed it enough to start watching the anime adaptation with my dad
It's a thriller crime show and it does a good job avoiding tropes, it can probably still be enjoyed by someone who doesn't like anime
As far as the adaptation goes it's got good animation and a good soundtrack as well
Not for kids though
9/10

(I haven't finished the show as of writing this)
This show is literally Ghibli House, I know I'm generalizing but they're extremely similar
Episodical show about a guy who deals with people's sicknesses and paranormal phenomena
It has a beautiful art style, aesthetic and soundtrack and each episode is modeled after myths and folk tales
The show covers other topics like philosophy as well
It's not super long either like under 75 episodes total and the anime covers the entire story
It's not really graphic or anything but the story is definitely marketed towards adults, I wouldn't know if kids would enjoy it
8.5/10

74 episodes. if you like thriller, mystery & darker themes then i highly recommend this anime.
each episode always left me pondering a bunch of philosophical questions and i was always on the edge of my seat. i have like 5 episodes left before i finish (so no spoilers pls haha).

Sci-fi war between mechas and monsters (AKA the two things that look good in Netflix's 3D animation) with time travel, which is quite unique and deep, but still makes perfect sense.
The main cast is great, everyone has a unique personality and reactions to events and revelations.
Apparently a lot of people find the protagonist annoying (he is proven right after people hated him for a decade and has a big superiority complex for most of the series) but his character arc of getting humbled is done very well.

A fantastic album from a relatively unknown Korean producer that mixes electronic sounds with folk instruments and singing, and one of my top 5 albums of all time
1. "Why" is an energetic way to start off the album and gives you a proper introduction to Mid-Air Thief's sound
2. "These Chains" is my favorite song on the album, mixing calm, beautiful melodies with intense synths and amazing percussion
3. "Gameun Duet" is a fast, catchy song with pop-like sound, lyrics, and progression
4. "Curve and Light" is one of my favorites on this album, having an energetic, overwhelming introduction along with a powerful and emotional second half filled with synths and beautiful singing
5. "Crumbling Together" is the longest song on the album and genuinely feels like a journey with its ups and downs, it's a very fun listen
6. "Protector" is an emotional, powerful song that always gives me goosebumps whenever I listen to it
7. "Dirt" is a quiet, beautiful refrain from the intense sounds of previous songs
8. "No Answer" is a calm and pleasant ending to this wonderful, chaotic album
I will never forgive Anthony Fantano for calling this album the "most overrated album of the 2010s" like the songs have a few million streams at most??
"Crumbling" has been one of my favorite albums for years now and I'm hoping to see it get more recognition

Wonderful jazz album with piano skills that I aspire to
Each song is lovely and just puts me into a good mood
This album is phenomenal for studying or long drives
"I Want To Talk About You" and "Early Summer" are my favorites
9.5/10

(first 3 seasons only)
Genuinely fantastic show with iconic humor and life lessons along the way
One of those pieces of media that can be enjoyed by all ages and many different audiences
That stuff about "watching it will make your kid dumber" is nonsense though
10/10, I might be glazing
