Various artistic works I'm fond of.
This is not meant to be a complete list of favorites. It's closer to a shelf: stories, images, scenes, and other non-technical things I like enough to keep on this site. If you ever wanted to talk to me casually, something on this page is probably a good bet.

Steel Ball Run is probably the closest thing I currently have to a "favorite piece of media." As the seventh installment of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise, I consider it the pinnacle of storytelling, art, and character progression of the series.

My specific favorite style is the style that was used near the middle of the manga, or around the Sugar Mountain arc. It's a great balance between linework, proportions, expressive faces, and facial distinguishability.

My sincere compliments go to the directors and animators at MAPPA who worked to bring this masterpiece to us.
Here's a list of my favorite scenes from a cinematic standpoint:
