Sailor Moon
Octeaparty
Bits & Bops

Final Fantasy
5
Richter Belmont vives some revolutions in 18th century France in this Rondo of Blood adaptation produced by Netflix
Castlevania: Nocturne
Paper Boats
Transistor
(0722) I have a lot of trouble picking a single favourite starter Pokemon, but if you put a gun to my head this little ball of joy would be one of the first names I said
Rowlet
The original hot Nintendo birdman, this cocky fighter pilot has been breaking hearts for longer than I've been alive

Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling
(0478) This frosty fave was recently vindicated with a slick new Mega Evolution, with which it is apparently menacing the format in Pokemon Champions
Froslass
This boy-next-door childhood friend option from Hatoful Boyfriend is, ironically, notable for how plain he is; when everybirdie else has something going on, being normal is one of the weirdest things you can be
Ryouta Kawara
Megaman Battle Network
6
DAILY DOUBLE
Gundam does Shakespeare in this loose, lesbian-flavoured retelling of The Tempest

This appropriately-named fifth Yu-Gi-Oh! series stars fledgling "Dueltainer" Yuya Sakaki travelling between parallel universes while uncovering the mystery of Pendulum Summoning
Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V
The Anthropocene
Small Saga

Dusknoir
