That's the end of my 2025 media thread. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my thoughts as I journeyed through so much entertainment this year. I owe Emma for pulling me into watching as many movies as I did together, and checking off from my watchlist. Have a Happy New Year! 🎉 #Kimo2025
148) Tokyo Godfathers
Incredibly heartwarming and funny. Amazing animation. Appreciate the lengths it takes in humanizing folks on the bottom rung of society. Love the way each of the protagonists' arcs intertwine, bounce off one another, and develop with the story. Hana is the best. #Kimo2025
147) Clair Obscur Expedition 33
I can summarize my complaints as "this is the team's first game, so there's several technical issues and missing quality of life features." Other than that, this is a profoundly beautiful game that does not miss a beat. One of my new favorite RPGs. #Kimo2025
146) Sagan om Karl Bertil Jonssons julafton (The Tale of Karl-Bertil Jonsson's Christmas Eve)
Det var trevligt. Jag gillade det. :) #Kimo2025
145) A Way Out
Finally got to play it for myself instead of watching LPs, and it's great. Certainly a bit straightforward and limited in what you can do, but it has fun gameplay sequences and is especially fun coordinating with a friend. Love the movie camera tricks and references. #Kimo2025
144.5) Overall, I think the Toree Panic Pack was perhaps far from the best Toree has to offer, but these are all generally free games you can download separately off Itchio, with the Steam bundle being $1 (¢89 for me) being an optional purchase if you wish to support the developers. #Kimo2025
144) Toree Missions (Dropped)
Surprisingly, the most fun one in the Toree Panic Pack on Steam. Precision platforming done well for about the first 60% of levels (I quit around the 75% mark). Just need to rework the boosters to not be annoying and drop the use of right-angle curve jumps. #Kimo2025
143) Toree Jumbled Jam 2 (Dropped)
This one is just bad, I'm sorry. I couldn't stand going beyond the first two levels, which I gave up on. Boosts either didn't boost you far enough or sent you flying off the level, obstacles were far more annoying and camera was way more of a nuisance. #Kimo2025
142) Toree Genesis
Leaves a lot to be desired. Free quick and easy title and Toree feels good to run around with as usual, but it does run into collision issues, sharp right angle turns that slow the game, and unsatisfying sliding when boosting. Decent enough for one third of 89 cents. #Kimo2025
141.5) The return of the king. Godspeed, Bokutox and his World of Warcraft - Outland PVP (EU) server. #Kimo2025
141) Jingle All The Way
Hard to encompass the madness and insanity this movie displays into words, but it's so absurd that it comes back around to being funny and entertaining. Can't feel turned off by the clichés when you're hit by just how looney the logic in this world is. I had fun. #Kimo2025
140) Disney's Living Characters: A Broken Promise - Defunctland
I think capitalism might just be plain evil, guys. #Kimo2025
139) Smiling Friends (Season 3)
Still pretty decent, but I think every subsequent season is less funny than the one prior despite the increase in animation complexity. I found myself only enjoying about half of the season's episodes, with a few solid jokes interspered in-between. #Kimo2025
138) My Secret Santa
I could feel myself cinemorphing into Cinema Sins. It's like this movie was going for a TV Tropes ANY% run with how many clichés it stuffed into the first ten minutes. Feels like something a C-suiter with no connection to reality wrote where it says nothing of worth. #Kimo2025
137) First Year Kidnapping (سنة اولى خطف)
This was dumb slop, but it got a chuckle or two out of me from its sheer absurdity. #Kimo2025
135) Elshater الشاطر (Dropped)
I probably needed to finish it, but I couldn't get into this one. Not only do I generally find action dramas boring, but I also don't like this lead actor either. They had one pretty clever joke that got me and I'll give that its flowers, but otherwise, mid. #Kimo2025
134.5) Egyptian cinema has definitely come a long way, and while I've been out of the loop for a while, I think this is one of the best showcases of its potential. I was very impressed by how this show made use of all its elements, and even letting scenes breathe in silence. #Kimo2025
134) Natural Disaster (كارثة طبيعية)
Quite enjoyed it. The acting from our two leads is incredible, where you can absorb so much information from their body language. Clever thematic consistency to go with its plot on the difficulties with cost of living under the heel of the bourgeoisie. #Kimo2025
Graphic showing the Kamen Rider seasons, movies and miniseries I've personally watched, ranked on a tier list. Fave: Kamen Rider Gavv, Kamen Rider Black Sun SSS: Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Build SS: Kamen Rider Geats S: Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider W A: Kamen Rider OOOs, Shin Kamen Rider B: Kamen Rider Faiz
133.5) Kamen Rider tier list update. #Kimo2025
133) Kamen Rider Gavv
My new favorite season. What it leaves on the table in core plot originality, it more than makes up for by going fully in on engaging characters, their strong parallel arcs and themes. Sticks close to the KR formula, but is one of the best implementations of it. #Kimo2025
132.5) It's going to be a bit before Das Finale 5 comes out, so here's an update to Doever and I's compilation image of in-jokes now that we've gone through the OVAs and other movies. #Kimo2025
130) Chainsaw Man (Season 1) (Rewatch)
Power is the greatest. No, I will not be taking any further questions. #Kimo2025
129) Jesus Christ Superstar
Very fun musical. Incredible singing and wordsmithing. Lots of great creative choreography, costume and set design given the very little they had to use. #Kimo2025
128) A Way Out (Let's Play) (Replay)
This is the middle aged married men yaoi dreams are made of. #Kimo2025
127) Tomba (Let's Play)
Unhinged video game. Though it offers some unique and interesting platforming physics, the poor localization doesn't help with its absurd sense of logic for what turns out to be one of the wackiest implementations for a Metroidvania. Way too many bottomless pits. #Kimo2025
126) Disventure Camp Carnival of Chaos (Season 4)
My favorite season. Its biggest shortcomings came from one odd character moment that was later resolved properly, and a less exciting challenge in the finale. Incredibly third-dimensional cast with more depth, variety and charisma. #Kimo2025
125) Mickey Saves the Day 3D Adventure (Replay)
Resident Evil 2 for toddlers from my very young childhood. There's even a true ending. I still have the original game disc which comes with the map. I finished this in like 45 minutes. #Kimo2025
