also just finished hospital train by daisuke ichiba ! turns out i had already read it before because there's scans of it still on my hard drive lmao

just finished reading manuela schiano's kappa notebook ! i really appreciate the inclusion of the thumbnails and sketches in the later half of the book, gorgeous crosshatching and layout too

watched godzilla 2000 : millennium

last year i did all of the showa and heisei godzillas (and the first american one) so now it's time for MILLENIUM

new blog post ; maraganger.neocities.org/entry3

every time i log on i think "welcome back twitter" and that's probably not good

realistically, how common is it for a book store to still have in stock books from 1999. as in not available in store but purchasable on their online store. because i'm eyeing yu-gi-oh and just learned that my local store still has like all 38 volumes apparently in stock (?)

watching the ultra q movie and i just love the emphasis on the dogu in here, fun little guy

just read ; rattling city #1: something in skin by demitri vassiliadis. fun short read with a lot of backgrounds that remind me of kowloon's gate and nejishiki

ordered some books to inform the making of future vids. some of them have scans online (i just wanted to own them in my collection) but the ones that don't will defo need me to invest in a scanning setup that doesn't require me to destroy the book to extract its content...

started watching ultra q : dark fantasy and i kinda love it. big shot on video vibes, very cozy and also why is garamon so scary looking ??

The true answer is Never Post

ended up reading both i have no mouth and i must scream by harlan ellison and shintaro kago's TRACT tonight so let me tell you i am feeling some kind of way lmao. big recommend for both btw

if you can please help out baxter, his work means a lot to me !!

i should really buy one of those big ikea bookshelves, i keep buying more and more books and just stack them on a pile near my gunpla boxes... that can't be good

finished the kaiba rewatch

anyways, i think it's very important for people to have diverse interests and not lock themselves into one small niche because the moment you tie your self worth to those interests you kinda lose a critical part of yourself that you'll have to claw your way back to earn someday

reject fandom culture, embrace talking about your interests with two people ; your partner and the sage on the mountain

took some time off to read install by risa wataya. i had already seen the movie adaptation but this was stellar, lovely read. a little bit of a shame it isn't available in english so i had to read the french translation but a massive recommendation nonetheless

don't worry i'll go back to posting about anime boys pissing their pants soon enough

the united states is an empire built on the corpses of others, if you haven't realized this you might genuinely might be complicit to their imperialistic actions

rewatched night on the galactic railroad so i could show it to xan

fried porygon for dinner again. porygon tempura for dinner again.

it feels a little perverse to have this on my desk like ah, ryona of my comfort character

went a little overboard with the books today as i'm now in the process of making my own little library inside my apartment ; first bibliomania ! didn't even know my local bookstore carried it but there was one copy left and i loved both the read and the movie so i had to

took me a couple months because i got sidetracked by other stuff but just finished my read of the secret diary of laura palmer. a little mixed on it in some spots but it's still a pretty nice addition to the show

The cheat code for actually talking about videogames, Im being serious here, is to assume the people who made them were human beings and go from there.

stupidly fun build on the camera kit btw, just finished it and already tempted to deconstruct it to do the other 3-in-1 options

first read of the year : KSKHH by daisuke ichiba ! really glad to add it to my collection, super fitting with the sort of garo lineage their art embodies

Is being a perverted otaku so wrong...?

seeing a lot of talk about "gatekeeping" regarding games or anime that are seen as special on the internet for their niche appeal and i wonder how many folks like them because of their content versus how many like them because "it makes them part of the secret club"

totally forgot to mention but i started a kaiba rewatch cause xan's never seen it. it will hurt, it will hurt oh it will hurt

xan and i picked our first game of the year ;

alright now that it's past midnight i can start my first watch of 2026

It probably feels really good to be one of those parasitic wasps injecting your eggs in something

just made a drink called the insane sunrise ; it's 1/4 vodka, a little bit of regular soju, a little bit of raspberry sourpuss and then topped with peach juice. dangerous as it tastes exclusively of peach rn

Tsundoku Diving year end post coming next week!!! (everyone knows the first week of a year doesn't count anyway) It's gonna be my fav thing I've ever put up on that dumb site, easy :) happy new years LOSERS

dont cry. listen to Rhythm and Balance... for White Jungle

First Date

2025 LIST OF EVERYTHING PLAYED/WATCHED/READ maraganger.neocities.org/2025

2025 was a pretty mixed year. terrible on both my physical and mental health but at least i came out of it with one insanely good video. hopefully 2026 will be better as i also work on an insanely good video and maybe, perhaps, even more

posting this again to speak my truth

posting wips at this size just because it's really funny

its right behind you!!

the worst part about not being in-touch with modern releases is that it's not like i'm even trying to avoid them, i just get swamped by a million other cool things that came out from like 1966 and onwards. there's too much cool shit and i just don't have enough tiiiiiime aaaah...

i have not read dandadan but i keep seeing this little guy everywhere these days when i go out. i like his vibe, maybe will pick it up solely on how this fucker stands

not yet done with the hg victory but it's so tiny !!

Taking a train to a different part of the overworld from the underworld

i'm gonna go lay down now

oh my fucking god man
