i think world trigger is underated in both manga and anime, the show is more lowkey and tactical than most shounen and rely more on tactic.

oh oh! one more for the TTRPG gems: "Dread" is a horror system that uses a Jenga Tower for tension~ great for in-person Halloween oneshots :AIADMIRER:

On the TTRPG side: Fate Core for anyone looking for a quick pick-up-and-play system, Ryuutama for some cozy, low-magic, wanderlust system~ :AIADMIRER:

Nanight birb smooch for our Goobie~🤍mwah!😘wub!

Choccy for our Froggy Leader~ :AIADMIRER:☕

underrated: centaurworld! very over the top silly but it balances out the dark undertones. very nice songs too. fav song is welcome to the bay where a shaman tries to get the mc to yoink by entering her mouth. also peak villian design & theme.

RIP to all of us born in the late 1900s 👴👵

*sheathes butterknife* intimidation: successful

WE SCARY!! :DANGER: FEAR US!! :DANGER:

Coziest choccy for the Goobie we wub so mush~ ☕🤍

《Inside Job》 is great, but it got canceled 😞

Something I think has a lot of hidden gems is the found footage horror genre with great entries like Lake Mungo, Saiko the Large Family, Noroi: the Curse, and the Tunnel

"Foundation" is 75 yo. "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is ~150. Frankenstein and "Pride & Prejudice" are over 200! I'd re-read any of them before watching most of the films produced in the last decade.

Some early sci-fi works like R.U.R and Metropolis are not exactly hidden but few people I know have actually read/watched them, which is a pity bc they still hold to modern tastes despite being ~100yo

I feel like a lot of literary classics (both fiction and non-fiction) became ""hidden gems" in the sense that most ppl simply do not know the original works, just their (often terrible) adaptations.

One interesting case is Street Fighter 3... Despite being a great game from a major franchise, most ppl (outside of die-hard fighting game fans) didn't even realize it existed until SF4 was released.

Hidden Gem music artist i love is Dirt Poor Robins. Their albums are storytelling masterpieces with wonderful vocals & lyrics. My favorite album of theirs is "The Last Days of Leviathan". Love them <3

It's been 30 years since the last Dark Stalkers game. It has some of the best animation and character design in any fighting game, but Capcom insists on ignoring 99% of their own legacy IPs!:CRY:

I was going to send a pick up line about hidden gems, but it was a bit too risqué, so instead I'll just mention Dark Stalkers. Not exactly "hidden" as much as it is "tragically forgotten and ignored".

Since I know you love Alien I'll highlight the 60's Italian horror film Planet of the Vampires which was a huge inspiration for Alien's writer. Lots of scenes and ideas taken from that film.

sorry ma’am did you say something? I disassociated

But RER is actually very much a RE game at heart, very much Survival HORROR, where the horror is very much at The forefront, and I think it’s really good for it, while also being still fun (2/2)

Polishing what?

Have this adorable flashba- I can’t do it… you’re being too nice right now… I can’t do it… wub wub I guess 🤍

Another hidden gem of mine: Virtual-On, a mecha fighting game. Played the arcade version at MagFest and it had twin stick control! Simple but fun game

There's this N64 game called Mischief Makers, a game where you grab, shake, and throw to progress. I got it randomly one birthday, and it's wacky af

The irs loves me. I know cuz their letters always mention how much they want to meet me :AIADMIRER:

Free merch tax :AIADMIRER: but also :UEUE::UEUE:

Also think Baccano and Great Pretender is quite underrated. The dubs are so good :AIADMIRER:

goobie!!! i bought merch of u on etsy and it came with a cute lil sticker of u and i put it on my water bottle so i can take u everywhere i go :3
