Serpent (ongoing) and Warriors (completed). The Explorers’ Expeditionary League: Volume 1, The Car’Lyn Expedition (complete, 2017). Insect Lab (2010) and Insect Lab Deux (2017).īarry McWilliams. Additionally, below doesn’t include ongoing webcomics that I’ve mentioned in earlier annual media posts, as the list is quite long. What I include here are works that are (afaik) not listed within Goodreads. The 💡 (lightbulb icon) indicates a recommendation for a given comic or art monogram. Yes, it’s problematic, but it’s one of the better fantasy adaptations I’ve watched, with better representation, IMO moreover, it provided some delightful brain candy for our weary, post-not-really-post pandemic world.

Two German language films, both quite different, but both about love, and both bittersweet and moving: I Am Your Man (Ich bin dein Mensch) (2021, Germany) and The Cakemaker (2017, Israel).įor western, more mainstream works, I did enjoy the Shadow and Bone series.

It’s based on the novel of the same name which I didn’t finish it’s loads of fun.

Ghost Bride, a goofy historical fantasy set in early 20th century Macau.

Delightfully over-the-top Korean series My Holo Love, which has all the themes: sci-fi/artificial intelligence, romance, neurodiversity, and corporate intrigue.

Animé for Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits and The Flying Witch, both which only cover part of what’s originally in manga and light novels.

Longer fiction, comics including graphic novels, and non-fiction read in 2021 (Goodreads shelf).

Again, for some of the comics I started in the past, I have gone back and adjusted recommendations in the older posts.

Notable movies, television series, and other video.

I’ll continue listing webcomics, comics, and some DNF works not listed on Goodreads, and short fiction. I connect only with persons on Goodreads that I know IRL. Unfortunately, Goodreads doesn’t easily offer a way to filter shelves based on genres, such as delineating fiction from non-fiction. I have links to my Goodreads shelves, instead of manually listing every book.
