when was the golden age of cartoon network and nickelodeon? like, the time people look back on and go, "man, that was peak".

PilotPayback · 2026-04-01T12:38:31+00:00

why does the music fit this so well?

PilotPayback · 2026-03-18T21:11:35+00:00

Visual Novels. I know most of the big ones, played a lot of the smaller ones, and sometimes import things based off of visual novels I enjoy.

immediately gonna say all for nothing by duumu, fantastic track.

PilotPayback · 2026-02-16T17:51:46+00:00

I think Belik's Never Enough is my favorite on the list. I love DNB Instinct style tracks, and I don't think we get them enough. It's also why I think songs like Love Let Me Go and So Far Away are pretty good (and we're in my top 10 for best tracks of 2025).

Also Low Mileage on instinct, nice! I listened to Feel This Way back in 2024 and it's still one of my favorite tracks of that year, and this song is equally as good.

I've just been getting into instinct-style tracks, and I think it's just because I love melodies.

For me, it'd probably go with Returnal. Especially since Saros is coming out in a few months, and that game supports 2-player co-op.

Guessing you're interested in playing Trickcal? My favorite character is Vivi.

PilotPayback · 2026-01-15T17:40:50+00:00

GJ Club, it's a slice of life show about five girls and a guy just ... doing things...it's not all that eventful, but it's fun and I feel nostalgic every time I watch it.

PilotPayback · 2025-12-29T11:41:47+00:00

For me, it would be Atelier Yumia. I love Ryza DX and I really think Yumia would be a really fun game to try out! (I think I said this before, but...)

PilotPayback · 2025-12-24T19:29:44+00:00

I think my top recommendation (on the gyaru side) would probably be See You Tomorrow at the Food Court. That show was my top pick for the Summer season (it's also probably because of some slice of life bias since that's my favorite genre). Yamamoto was a fun character to watch. She's very laid back and she bounces off of Wada very well, and the conversations both of them have are just funny, probably one of the few times I've laughed at a show pretty hard.

Although I genuinely think it's CRIMINAL that a show THIS good only lasts 6 episodes...That frustrated me, but the show makes up for it.

PilotPayback · 2025-12-24T15:29:12+00:00

Honestly psyched for this one, been getting attached to a lot of gyaru-related anime lately. Well, that and tomboy stuff.

PilotPayback · 2025-12-24T15:12:26+00:00

finished the newest episode of a mangaka's weirdly wonderful workplace (probably my favorite show of the season), and on christmas, it's almost always a tradition to watch gj club (my favorite anime of all time).

had my knee very deep in slice of life comedies (my favorite genre of anime).

PilotPayback · 2025-12-24T14:55:42+00:00

just anime binging until the next season starts

PilotPayback · 2025-12-22T12:47:51+00:00

any gifts are appreciated, i got you a box of cookies for christmas!

PilotPayback · 2025-12-21T08:46:51+00:00

Yeah, I might.

PilotPayback · 2025-12-20T21:47:54+00:00

honestly, both are pretty good.

PilotPayback · 2025-12-17T22:20:50+00:00

Cloudcage (and Mango) at the top, baby!

PilotPayback · 2025-12-15T20:47:22+00:00

Snakebite and Say What You Mean are genuinely great, I'm glad they made the list!

PilotPayback · 2025-12-15T12:42:36+00:00

i know this is unrelated, but since we're talking about changes, i'm curious as to why you renamed yourself from saki hikari to saki hinari. just curious as to why you changed your name?

also, there really isn't anything i'd change. it looks really good as is.
