misc faves

other video-type content i like and return to regularly.

story animation

single stories in one animated video (shorts, cartoon pilots, no-dialogue stories set to songs, etc).

  • The Little Poet: beautiful calarts film that takes you through art, narrated by a kid with a crush. so so lovely
  • Bambee: bambi parody my siblings showed me as a kid - i was super into it for some reason, so it deserves to be here
  • Cockroach: cute little domestic video about a dog and cat couple dealing with a cockroach
  • Diamond Jack: a rollerskating thief – love the vintage sound of the song, and the animation is so fun!
  • 「プリンのうた」(Jigglypuff's Song): my favorite poketoon! it makes me teary.
  • LOUISE: really beautifully done short film about the dark side of professional ballet
  • Mascot Prep: cartoon pilot about mascots learning how to be mascots lol. main character (voiced by mitchell musso!) is fucked because he has no product yet
  • NERVOUS: a nervous dog is left at a doggy day care
  • omelette: no talking, just music and a sweet little french bulldog (or boston terrier? can't tell) who can cook
  • Perils of Love: cute animation i saw as a kid about... obviously... the perils of love. set to a french song!
  • 떳다 그녀!! (There she is!!): a bunny falls in love with a cat in a world where interspecies romance is forbidden. extremely good; you get emotionally more invested with each installment (compiled here nicely in one video)
  • There's a Man in the Woods: well-written, unsettling spoken word story, but the animation enhances it x10
  • Try our Lusty Man TV Dinners!: silly fake commercial my siblings showed me as a kid - shaped our humor somewhat
  • Welcome to My Life: i watched this as a youth and loved it. love how the monsters look, love the mockumentary style and sweet tone, and love the commentary on asian americanism

(top?)

standup

what it says on the tin. it's kind of hard to find well-compiled lists of standup videos... this too will not be well-compiled.

  • john mulaney: New in Town, the Comeback Kid, Kid Gorgeous, Baby J, all on netflix i believe. (i really don't care about his personal life atp, i just think he's funny)
  • hari kondabolu: loveeee him. i've seen Warn Your Relatives (netflix) and Vacation Baby
  • sindhu vee: i have yet to see a full special by her (no access) but i like this performance of her live at the apollo, her delivery is everything lmao
  • gianmarco soresi: you should just follow him on any social media bc everything including his crowdwork is great - but here's him on the late late show, comedy central, and don't tell comedy
  • ashley gavin: she has a full special!!
  • sabrina wu: they're so real to me...

the anti-rec list

a section for things people kept recommending so much so that i got fed up and made the executive decision to never watch them. that or i tried and simply didn't vibe with them. some of them are also shows/movies i have beef with for no reason. don't talk to me about these shows/movies unless you also have beef with them

  • nimona
  • any of the harry potter movies
  • bear. the bear? whatever that one
  • star vs. the forces of evil
  • wotakoi
  • friends, seinfeld, HIMYM, the office
  • rick and morty
  • the good place
  • yuri!! on ice
  • any anime actually. i am really so picky

main

let me preface this by saying i am a cinephile's nightmare. i'm generally bad at consuming any audiovisual media, because i hate that i have to go at the pace of the media (rather than be able to skim or read quickly like i would with text or purely visual matter). it's a level of concentration i can't muster most days unless i have a good reason to. i also have an obsessive personality, so if i watched too many good movies in a row, i would probably go insane.

as a result, i consume a lot of lighthearted stuff, or rewatch things i saw during childhood/adolescence that i can play in the background for comfort so i don't have to take in anything new. i'm trying to expand the range of things i'll see these days, but ultimately i am a creature of comfort.

you can see what i'm watching here. (old log here.)

preferences

stuff i'm drawn to

  • COMEDY
  • modern settings
  • character > plot
  • fun ensembles
  • family
  • anything with a cute guy or cute ship i can fixate on
  • asian rep
  • musical numbers
  • for cartoons: i prefer story-driven cartoons in general, but prefer their contained episodes/one-shots to the plot-heavy ones. the pickiest cartoon enjoyer alive

stuff i usually avoid

  • sci-fi
  • fantasy
  • anything too serious or dramatic
  • anything that looks like it's set somewhere covered only in dust and dirt
  • cheesy romances
  • isekai
  • things with lots of specific terminology
  • historical series
  • superhero stuff
  • horror
  • anything too long

watching habits

  • i will say i like a movie/show if it's a) one i watched 10000 times or b) one that i remember really enjoying even though i never watched it again.
  • i will watch episodes of a show i like 10000 times over many moons and not touch anything else in my queue
  • i will watch horrible movies and shows if they have an actor i like and said actor is vaguely cute in it
  • i usually just play shows in the background while i draw – i cannot watch most anime or shows in other languages for this reason. my language skills are Not Good Enough for that
  • some shows and pretty much all anime are "eating shows", which i only watch when i eat alone (rare) and i will stop them as soon as i'm done eating to do something else
  • most movies i don't see in cinemas are "eating movies" and i'll stop them midwatch as well
    • i avoid watching with other people (if not in the cinema) because their presence forces me to finish the movie even when i no longer want to be watching it...
  • in general, watching a movie must be an EVENT. i like going to the cinema and making a whole thing of it. if a movie is not in cinemas, it will take me 10000 years to watch it, because at home i will do literally anything else.
