I’m still enjoying Deathloop, the 2021 game by Arkane Lyon. Colt Vahn’s funny lines make it a fun game to pick up even years later.
It’s rare for an anime to be perfect, but some manage it right away. Several one-season shows, like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Death Note, are nearly flawless. Some longer series also start incredibly strong, as seen in the first seasons of Vinland Saga and Mob Psycho 100. And sometimes, a particularly amazing season in the middle of a longer series can dramatically improve it. That’s what happened with the shows listed – they were good at the beginning, but really became great after a standout addition.

It’s rare for an anime to be perfect, but some manage it right away. Several one-season shows, like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Death Note, come very close. A few longer series also start incredibly strong, such as Vinland Saga and Mob Psycho 100. Sometimes, a particularly amazing season in the middle of a longer show can completely elevate the entire series. That’s what happened with the shows listed – they were good at first, but really became exceptional after a standout addition.
As a huge Batman fan, I often hear people talking about classics like The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: The Long Halloween – and rightfully so, they’re amazing. But if you’re new to Batman comics, or haven’t read them in a while, it can be tough knowing where to start now. So, I’ve put together a list of series that I think are essential reads, not just because of where Batman’s story is at in the DC Universe today, but also because they’re the most exciting and talked-about recent runs.
