if that one doesn't count, i'll go with: toy story (1995)
haven't decided.

it gives you fukumoto's strengths without the silly stuff. reading fukumoto's gambling mangas may be much better than reading junk like hajime no ippo, but what isn't?

not a big fan of the "avgn" videos, but i like the other stuff on there. james & mike mondays is my favorite series on youtube. my favorite episodes would be the 4-part "atari video games" thing, but there are many other great ones, such as the 1-hour castlevania II episode. so go watch those instead of watching the latest anime crap. just grow up already, bob. or whatever your name is. you have 3 options:
1. watch classic acclaimed anime that you haven't watched yet.
2. watch good tv shows instead of anime. some good ones you probably haven't seen because you're too busy watching one piece: olive kitteridge, fleabag, atlanta, adolescence, true detective s1, ..
3. watch james & mike mondays.
my favorite game is java minecraft.
favorite turn-based jrpgs:
final fantasy 6
mother 2 & 3
chrono trigger (snes)
suikoden 1 & 2
other turn-based jrpgs i like:
dragon quest 5 (snes)
final fantasy 7 (ps1)
final fantasy 9
dragon quest 11 (2d mode. "fight wisely" and "happy hat" for everyone.)
i'm not a gaming connoisseur. my opinions on video games shouldn't be judged or taken seriously. gamers tend to have bad opinions on anime and movies because they waste too much time playing games.
simple tips on how to become a good anime critic:
1. watch as many anime as you can. you can start by (legally) downloading the first few episodes of every anime that exists. don't dismiss shows because of their low scores on any site. most anime fans think episode 10 of violet evergarden is better than episode 10 of heidi. that's what happens to people who play too much call of duty.
2. think a lot about what makes each anime good or bad. rate and rank stuff. your criteria need to change and evolve over time. things like high iq won't automatically make you a good critic, you have to put in the work.
3. re-evaluate stuff.
4. let go of your dusty old opinions.
5. no dubs.
6. there aren't many great anime series. don't feel bad for having things like ginga eiyuu densetsu in your top 10 like everybody else does. that show is one of the very few that have great strengths without also having a terrible anime stench.
don't take anime critique too seriously, just use it to become a successful influencer or celebrity. then you can get yourself a hot girlfriend or boyfriend. (or a theyfriend)
i mainly care about how music is used as a tool to improve other media. (i don't care about bands, concerts, or albums.)

still waiting for icsfilm and conlosojosabiertos. (i'll add more stuff after i find out what those nerds like)
-------------------------
update: we got the conlosojosabiertos results: https://www.conlosojosabiertos.com/la-internacional-cinefila-2025/ i'll digest everything on that page, then i'll (probably) update our prestigious list. (we're in this together now.)
------------------------- update: there's a big gap between 10 and 11, so we got ourselves a clean top 10 list.
-------------------------
update: the list isn't finished yet. i'll make it a ranked top 20 list after we get the icsfilm results. the prestigious filmcomment list will be a joke in comparison to ours. https://www.filmcomment.com/best-films-of-2025/
will be revealed in february
you get a big mug, fill it with ice, then fill it with water. cheap and delicious.
my other go-to drink is store-bought sweetened iced coffee, not cheap at all. one day i'll learn how to make delicious coffee at home and save a fortune. then i'll buy a ghibli production cel and shove it up my ass.
i prefer the (human) characters in moribito over the ones in erin, but erin destroys moribito in many other aspects. erin wins.
1. oberstein 2. yang 3. reinhard.
the show gives you a nice variety of great men, there's someone for everybody. you won't find a respectable profile on here without at least 1 character from this show among their favorites.

i'm talking about the characters in the japanese version.
different voices = different characters = different anime = stop watching dubs.
this guy started doing daily live streams about some new "epidemic" in china as early as january 11th (2020) or something. there were around 100 reported cases in china. he wasn't getting many viewers, one of his mods was like "i don't know why he keeps streaming about this like it's a big deal.."
he pays reuters (and others) to legally share live footage and whatnot, so he's very professional and always on the ball. (a ball hog)
