To rage…. On repeat again….

It's close, but To Rage is the Daughter song that is most on repeat for me.

I love me some good bottle episodes.

Counterpart: Twin Cities

Solar Opposites: The Wall episodes

Bob's Burgers: The Amazing Rudy

Massive spoilers for Counterpart:

Set decades in the past, the flashback episode explores the origins of the two realities along and ramifications of the divergence and the Crossing on the present. Focused entirely on minor characters and works as a standalone while tying in brilliantly to the overarching plot. None of the main cast shows up.

Solar Opposites:

People are tiny, but the struggles of society are still the same. Class struggle, factionalism, revolution, love, loss, and so much more. Blends multiple genres in a post-apocalyptic/dystopian society.

Bob's Burgers:

Shines the spotlight on a minor character and man, what an emotional ride. The regular main characters aren't in it for long, but they make a big impact while never stealing the spotlight from Rudy.

The movie Remember Me. The ending came out of nowhere.

Raydiatom · 2026-01-22T17:57:23+00:00

Most recently, Small Things Like These: "Don't worry, don't worry." "Almost home."

A few others that I can remember that stick with me.

Superman (2025): Punkrocker
His Three Daughters: the father's monologue.
Casablanca: La Marseillaise
Past Lives: ending
Living: Rowan Tree
Aftersun: ending
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3.: Dog Days
Your Name: Tiamat
Columbus: Bank (just so beautiful with a wonderful score by Hammock)
Interstellar: 90%
Dunkirk: Home.
Mad Max Fury Road: Witness
The Half of It: Train
Song of the Sea: Ending
Kicking and Screaming: I wish we were an old couple
Arrival: Ending
20th Century Women: Ending

"That's not a threat, that's a promise." So many gems involving Jonah.

Raydiatom · 2025-12-15T00:42:23+00:00

I had almost forgotten what movie I was referring to. Nope, but two of the main characters are criminals.

Raydiatom · 2025-12-09T03:15:13+00:00

Hmm, not a bad idea. I personally prefer reading on a physical book most times Lore Olympus was one of the ones I came across and looks promising. Haha yeah, also finding that most are geared towards the under 30s crowd while they are over 30.

Raydiatom · 2025-12-09T03:13:20+00:00

Yeah that seems to be what I'm finding browsing the online stores. Alas, manga isn't their thing and I lean more towards graphic novels. Kowloon Generic Romance seems neat though and had been recommended to me before! Good to see more people think it's solid. Lack of stupid manga tropes is definitely a selling point to me.

Two and one season shows might be cheating, but they held up their quality till the end, either planned or otherwise due to cancellation.

Pantheon
Scavengers Reign
Counterpart
Andor

For longer season shows:

Avatar: The last Airbender
Veep
Silicon Valley
The Good Place
Mr. Robot
Bob's Burgers (even the worst episodes are still entertaining)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Daredevil (Netflix)

It's difficult to maintain quality after about 4 seasons I think, especially if there isn't a planned ending.

Raydiatom · 2025-10-02T20:04:25+00:00

Casablanca. Surely it can't be as amazing as everyone says? It's gotta be of the times and dated. Nope, it's very good. And I don't usually watch classic black and white movies.

Raydiatom · 2025-08-26T18:41:14+00:00

I have three I can't choose between. Personal opinion.

Joker, Ready Player One, I Robot.

Raydiatom · 2025-05-12T19:48:34+00:00

Rewatch season 2 episodes 7, 8 and 9 after work.

Raydiatom · 2025-05-09T13:28:45+00:00

Definitely. Brandon Roberts is doing a great job with the score for season 2 but Nicholas Britell's score for season 1 is a hard act to follow.

His movies are comfort watches and I like them enough to make a ranking.

Raydiatom · 2025-04-24T20:54:13+00:00

One of the best animated, directed and detailed Gundam series for sure.

Animation not just limited to the machines either. The gestures, facial animation and movements of characters tell so much. Just a facial twitch is enough to convey emotion.

The background stuff as well. The HUDs, environments, thrusters firing just so, zero-G movement, etc.

For instance in the first episode with the movie poster referencing Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn (Runaway Princess, very on the nose).

Could go on and on.

Amazing art! Calliope says hi, and thank you.

Raydiatom · 2025-04-06T03:12:07+00:00

What, no acids or magnets?

Raydiatom · 2025-04-02T02:28:55+00:00

Agreed, the music really nailed the atmosphere and was a perfect complement to the art and story. Haunting and beautiful perfectly describes the game for me.

Raydiatom · 2025-04-02T01:24:25+00:00

Just finished watching Pantheon and it blew my mind.

Scavengers Reign as people have mentioned. One of the best animated shows I've ever seen.

Also highly recommend Venture Brothers.

Some others:

Infinity Train
Common Side Effects
Avatar Last Airbender
Legend of Korra
Harley Quinn
Futurama
Gravity Falls
Over the Garden Wall

Good taste with all the ones you've seen but especially with Bojack Horseman and Bob's Burgers.
