Posting my Best of the Year lists for 2025 in this thread.

While I may have some very small issues with it, it's undeniably an experience that will stick with me. 10/10

A screenshot from the video game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! This was excellent! From the compelling narrative, to the great turn-based system and an incredible soundtrack, this game excels at a lot of what it sets out to do. (1/2)

A screenshot from the movie, Robin: Men in Tights.

Watched Robin Hood: Men in Tights. 5/10

A Screenshot from the movie Zootopia 2, showing the main characters Nick and Judy sitting next to each other.

Watched Zootopia 2. 8/10

Overall, it's worth watching if you're a fan of the previous movies. 8/10

A Screenshot from the movie, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

Watched Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. I really enjoyed this. While there is a long(and slow) set up and it does feel like it has too much going on at times. I think this a strong entry in the franchise that's quite entertaining and talks about religion in a way that I really appreciated.

A Screenshot from the video game, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, showing the MC standing in what appears to be a lab.

A Screenshot from the video game, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, showing the MC in a battlefield.

A Screenshot from the video game, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, showing the MC in a battlefield with a giant mech suit in the background of it.

A Screenshot from the video game, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, showing the MC on a bridge with fighter pilot planes in the background.

Played Shinobi: Art of Vengeance! This was very good! If you like 2D-Action platformers then this is worth trying out, the combat feels amazing and the art style looks beautiful too. 8/10

7/10 (Ran out of space lol)

A Screenshot from the movie Jay Kelly, showing the titular character(played by George Clooney), with characters played by Laura Dern and Adam Sandler, on his left and right, respectively.

Watched Jay Kelly. This was pretty good but kinda messy. It features some great performances, especially from Adam Sandler, but the narrative can feel a bit all over the place. It's still an interesting movie that paints an interesting picture of the life of a movie star so it's worth a watch IMO.

A Screenshot from the movie, Treasure Planet, showing the Main Character doing a sort of sci-fi Wind surfing.

Rewatched Treasure Planet. This was really good, it had been so long since I'd seen it that I forgot most of it but it's still a very fun adventure movie with a solid and heart-warming story. 8/10

A Screenshot from The Boondocks S1 showing Huey Freeman with a phone to his ear.

Watched The Boondocks S1. 8/10

A Screenshot of the cover of Ms. Marvel vol 4: Last Days.

Read Ms. Marvel vol 4: Last Days. This was a very solid conclusion to her first run. I look forward to reading more in the future. 8/10

A screenshot from the video game Dispatch, showing the main character(Robert), sitting at a computer with a headset on and his hand on a mouse.

Played Dispatch. This was quite good. It had a fun and unique tone, great voice acting and dispatching gameplay that was very fun. My only complaint is I wish it had a few more tough choices to make, but hopefully they can improve ok that in the sequel. 8/10

A screenshot of the Audible Audiobook page for the book Anxiety as an Ally(How I turned a Worried Mind into my Best Friend) by Dan Ryckert.

Completed Anxiety as an Ally by Dan Ryckert. This was a pretty helpful and well written book about dealing with anxiety that did help me with dealing with mine. 8/10

A Screenshot of the cover of Ms. Marvel vol 3: Crushed.

Read Ms. Marvel vol 3: Crushed. 8/10

A promotional image/screenshot from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1.

Watched Jujutsu Kaisen S1. I enjoyed this. It's a solid and quite entertaining shounen series. I look forward to watching more. 8/10

A physical copy of the light novel, Classroom of the Elite vol 5.

Read Classroom of the Elite vol 5. Maybe not the most consistently interesting volume but it definitely has its moments. 7/10

The Key Art for the video game Dunkadillo, showing a happy looking cartoon Armadillo in a colorful world with cartoon creatures and a basketball hoop in the background.

Played Dunkadillo. This was a cute platformer that I had a delightful time with. It's nothing ground breaking it's fun and doesn't waste your time due to its short length. 7/10

A physical copy of the manga, Shiver by Junji Ito, which collects selected stories from his catalogue.

Read Shiver: Junji Ito Selected Stories. 8/10

A screenshot from the movie, Stolen Girl(2025).

Watched Stolen Girl(2025). 3/10

A picture of a physical copy of Nightwing vol 4: The Leap by Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo and Adriano Lucas.

Read Nightwing vol 4: The Leap. This felt like a volume that was setting things up for the future which is fine, it's a fun and entertaining read and we get more info on the villain building in the background. 8/10

A Screenshot from the movie The Phoenician Scheme(2025) showing Benicio Del Toro's character at a table with Michael Cera's character to his left and Mia Threapleton's character to his right, with 2 butlers behind him.

Watched The Phoenician Scheme. 7/10

A screenshot of the cover of the comic book, Batman: Haunted Knight. It shows a stylized orange and black image of Batman chained up and dangled over a Fire from a Jack-o-lantern with Joker and other villains sitting around the fire.

Read Batman: Haunted Knight. This is pretty good. These stories do a good job of humanizing Batman, even if they're fairly simple. 7/10
