I was about to rush through more of the main chapters of Exedra today and then they hit me with Magia Record chapters so i'd probably be a lot further level wise but... Arc 1 hehehe uwu i miss it. So i read it.
I noticed some slimming down which i guess makes sense. since Exedra wants to jump around and show off many stories from the franchise but idk. The game had so so much story and character building. Also no voices? :( sad. Hope they get added in eventually
#though i guess i could re-read arc 1 now that i have access to the beta private server...#calling it beta cause its still being worked on and when I see people just say private server others expect like a fully done replica of it#which isn't the case but very usable for reading the story!#which i believe preserving and translating the story is the top priority#And you can do some battles and stuff but i will say applying memos is hell since the beta ver. has everything unlocked and you have every#memo to sort through#but there is a level 999 livia in support so thats fun. i love livia and now she one shots everything#It is cool to have everything unlocked but i will wait patiently for when i can add my old data back :)#but i probably will use it for reading purposes eventually#especially since i want to compare to the Exedra adaptation of arc 1 & hopefully 2...#but like also i could just go to youtube lolol#i have to start up bootcamp if i want to play the dang thing#sorry for long tags lol#i just like yapping in the tags#i also i do like this game but as a video game appreciator and gacha player#I can tell this game was a bit rushed#and when i consume on that...#i get agitated cause we should have had like one more year with record while Exedra got the polish it deserves#but its whatever this is the hand we have been dealt#but if i didn't have blinders on for this franchise i wouldn't touch this game#Like if you are not interested in anything from the story#characters#or designs#the gameplay wouldn't keep you hooked.#which i guess isn't the biggest deal i guess idk#Madokas popular i imagine a guaranteed 3 years with this game and then depending on how its doing will give of us some insight on if it wil#continue

TAG GAME: EIGHT SHOWS TO GET TO KNOW ME
thank you @loveisalwaystheanswer hehe
disclaimer: lots of anime recs here HAHAHA im a weeb. also idk how else to describe stuff sometimes HJDSFKJSDHKF it's just different iterations of "wow im floored. watch it." or "this fundamentally changed me as a person."
Code Geass - Brings back memories of senior year in high school where I binged all 25 episodes of the first season during finals week, then binged all 25 episodes of the second season the next week. Season 1 was eh but it was building up for the actual bone-deep pain of Season 2. The Zero Requiem finale still hits man, it's such a perfect way to end the series. Why are mecha animes so steeped in heavy politics. Good for them! Also the Pizza Hut placements were great (we love you Cheese-kun).
Mob Psycho 100 - AMAZING ANIMATION. AMAZING STORYTELLING. WHOLESOME HIGH SCHOOLERS GOING THROUGH THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF LIFE WHILE ALSO HAVING THE MOST POWERFUL PSYCHIC ABILITIES. Genuinely feel-good, so many inspirational quotes in here. Made me cry on some occasions because I didn't expect to hear the words I needed to hear from a shounen anime of all things. Also Reigen is babygirl for a REASON.
Peaky Blinders - Where do I start. I like period dramas, and the premise intrigued me. Season 1 is so damaging to me in so many ways like I don't think any other show could get as perfect as those six episodes AAAAA IM SO ATTACHED TO IT. The whole cast are phenomenal and they really carried the show, and the song features are so good too. Also Cillian Murphy is so hot goddamn.
The Promised Neverland - DO NOT WATCH THE SECOND SEASON. Anyway. I read the manga so I know how the rest of the plot goes, but Season 1 is such an amazing display of psychological horror. The visceral fear of realizing Isabella is always one step ahead of the kids, and just generally trying outpace her while acting like everything's normal. Wow.
Attack on Titan - lol. I don't really care much about the new series anymore, but back in 2013 this was the first anime I properly watched (and the rest of the world had its dick and balls gripped by the Salute™ and the Wings of Freedom™ too). I guess I was pretty fucked up as a kid for thinking I had the balls to join the Survey Corps and could live to tell the tale. Formative anime of all time actually.
Avatar: The Last Airbender - A childhood classic. What else do I say, it's just perfect. Amazing. Fantastic. Spectacular. I have official books of that franchise: all four of The Lost Scrolls, one of the Journey Through The Earth Kingdom books, and the Tales of Zuko book. It's just so dear and close to my heart, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Adventure Time - Another childhood classic. I think I watched every episode up until the first few episodes of Season 5, then I just stopped caring SHDFJSJKFH. BUT. But, it's also still very meaningful to me, it's an amazing combination of fun but also unintentionally dark. I should pick up on it again when I have the time, honestly.
Bungou Stray Dogs - I haven't touched anything related to this anime since 2019 but this is really that one show that shaped me for a long while, mostly because I met my internet friends because of this show, and my first few days on Twitter was dedicated to being a BSD fan. The whole concept too of characters based off famous classic authors with abilities names after their most famous works is really a banger, it made me a reader again.
i dont really have anyone to tag so if you see this on your dash feel free to do it!
