Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)

Alex and I felt like doing a Studio Ghibli marathon and I was excited to watch this since I’d never seen Nausicaä before. Plot wasn’t the most put-together for me but I love how it laid the groundwork for a lot of Ghibli’s movies and other Japanese media.

Same with me and the hubby. I just remember glancing at everything while we headed for the Halloween stuff and thinking, “Wow, younger me with the Harry Potter special interest would’ve gone nuts seeing all this. Too bad Rowling had to be a POS 😕”

Bob’s Burgers (2011-)

I’ve heard a lot of good things about this show and I’ve taken to binging it whenever I’m travelling.

I just started Season 6 and I love how much of a “comfort show” vibe it has. The characters are all weird and quirky in a way that doesn’t feel “too much”, IMO.

Superman (2025)

Yeah, you could argue that this movie might have a few too many “James Gunn-isms”, but between this and My Adventures with Superman, I absolutely missed this vibe with Superman and I never want it to leave!

Its anime adaptation is coming out soon, so that’s definitely going to help attract more fans!

Date Everything! (2025)

I haven’t quite done a full run of this game yet, but technical issues aside, I’ve really enjoyed how tongue-in-cheek it is with the concept of taking inanimate objects and making a dating sim out of them featuring a lot of notable voice actors!

KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

Yeah, I totally get the hype around K-pop music now.

I really hope we get more out of this world and these characters to flesh out what the writers probably weren’t able to due to the limited run time.

Witch Hat Atelier, Volume 3 (2019)

I quite enjoyed Tartah’s story and how his struggle with this world’s equivalent of colour-blindness affected the plot.

I’ve heard this series deals a lot with the concept of disabilities in a magical setting and I’m looking forward to seeing more of that.

That DOES look like blood 😰
