I've been taking a bit of a break from melonDS lately... mental health reasons, a silly side project, the usual stuff. Regardless, I've been rethinking my plans for melonDS. I think I might postpone the timing work to melonDS 1.3. It's bigger than anticipated. I want to address some other issues, most notably finishing the new OpenGL renderer, and release melonDS 1.2. There's also some codebase cleanup I want to do. Regarding the timing work, it's going to take some planning, and possibly a larger rework. As I've said, the ARM7 is simple enough. Things are pretty much sequential, and the only extra complexity comes from main RAM burst termination delays. The ARM9 is where it gets hard. We deal with mechanics like cache streaming, write buffering, ability to keep running code while the bus is in use... All sorts of mechanics which highlight the limits in melonDS's current model. For example, take the LDM and STM instructions. They do multiple consecutive memory accesses in a row. They're commonly used to push registers to the stack and pop them back, or to quickly clear or copy large blocks of memory. There are several issues arising from this. Depending on the base address, a LDM/STM instruction might cross the boundary between two memory regions, or two MPU regions on the ARM9. STM, when accessing I/O registers, might also cause a bus stall between two memory writes (for example, if it starts a DMA transfer...). melonDS was built on top of a plain old interpreter. We read one instruction word from memory, we use a lookup table to figure out what we should do, we do it, then we move on to the next instruction, and so on. This model treats individual instructions as atomic: there is no way to account for all possibilities with LDM and STM, for example. Or atleast, not easily. So an idea I have in mind is to try a different model for CPU emulation. A sort of cached interpreter. The idea is to turn DS code into an intermediate representation which not only enables faster execution, but also gives us more freedom. For example, the aforementioned LDM/STM could be turned into discrete memory accesses, or optimized into larger accesses if possible. Another reason would be timing calculations. Some of them, like interlocks, can be annoying to resolve, but only really need to be resolved once, so a cached interpreter could have them precalculated. At this stage, this is only a basic idea, but it's something I want to experiment with.

Early in my anime writing, I tried to rank 100 good, bad, and influential anime. Now, over a decade later, I would make an entirely different list, adding obscure historical animations like Namakura Gatana or Hanawa Hekonai meito no maki because of their importance, and I would drop most of the anime that acted as filler on my original list. Live and learn! This new list doesn’t try to capture any important anime. This is my personal list, in no particular order, with some acknowledged recency bias baked into it. The titles on this list probably won’t surprise you if you are a long-time reader. I’m not avante garde in my story tastes, but I also don’t always like the stories the mainstream enjoys. If an anime is hyped, I tend to avoid it until the hype dies down so my expectations aren’t set by the more obsessive fans of the story. But why 35? It’s such an odd number! Well, I settled on that number after looking through all the different stories I’ve consumed after the years and after thinking about the stories I’ve either revisited, remembered with fondness, or continued to think about long after I finished the series. Some of the stories on this list are ongoing at the time I write this article. Depending on how the series goes, my thoughts may change. The title may even drop from this list! It’s my hope that this list will encourage you to check out a title you haven’t seen before, revisit a title, or consider how the story influenced your thinking. I also tried to include stories from a variety of genres. I’ve learned not to pigeon-hole myself to certain genres. This has allowed me to find a variety of stories that I wouldn’t have discovered if I remained within, say, the fantasy genre or within shonen. When I worked as a librarian, I often saw people avoid a story because it was “for kids” or had a “young adult” sticker on it. People worry too much about the labels and the opinions of others. Like what you like, and pay others no mind. Behind the scenes at the library, we used to pass around new picture books to read. The target audience doesn’t matter if the story is good. Samurai Champloo I enjoy Samurai Champloo a bit more than Cowboy Bebop. Both have the “found family” theme that I enjoy, and both are road stories. Champloo extends the same story beats as Bebop while remixing them in a way the still feels fresh and innovative. Next to Eureka Seven this is my most-revisited series. Visiting with Mugen, Jin, and Fuu feels like visiting with old friends. It helps that this series, along with Eureka Seven, provided me with sanctuary during a stressful, overly busy, and difficult section of my life. I would stay up late on Saturdays, sometimes until 6 am, to watch both of them on Adult Swim’s Toonami. Eureka Seven The second half of my supportive duo, the romance of Eureka Seven helped me through my own heartbreaks and through a time of death–a period where I was attending calling hours and funerals every few weeks it seemed. The love story between Renton and Eureka remains one of my favorites, aided by Bones’s animation that remains excellent even today. Everyone needs a story that provides sanctuary in times of trouble and heartache. Revisiting Eureka Seven still feels like tea and a warm blanket on a cold, blustery winter day. Inuyasha Inuyasha also stands with Samurai Champloo and Eureka Seven as comfort food, if not quite as homey as they are. Because Inuyasha was a staple on Toonami for so long, it’s not as bookended as those two stories are. Instead, Inuyasha was like an always-available comfort food, not special, but always enjoyed and welcomed.  The story got me interested in yokai and Japanese folklore, eventually leading me to write Come and Sleep: The Folklore of the Japanese Fox and Tales from Old Japan: Folktales and Legends of the Land of the Rising Sun, which took as many years to research and write as the years I watched Inuyasha, interestingly enough. Neon Genesis Evangelion Anime has several pivotal titles that changed the medium: Astro Boy, Akira, and Pokemon among others. Neon Genesis Evangelion stands among them, influencing anime even today. Anime before Evangelion was different from anime after, with many tropes, motifs, and story beats referencing how Evangelion gathered the pieces together and changed them. Rei, for example, brought together various character elements already present in anime. She isn’t original as a character, but she became the template for the quiet, mysterious type going forward. Likewise Asuka became the template for the tsundere character type. Of course, I didn’t know any of this when I first watched the series. I enjoyed the psychological tangle in the story, while I loathed the whiny, passive Shinji. I understand Shinji’s character now, but I watched in the hopes that he would grow a spine and mature into a hero character. The subversion of that expectation remains unique. Cowboy Bebop Anime needs more space opera westerns outside of Gundam. Yeah, some entries in that series feel like a Western story, but nothing like Bebop‘s mashup of genres. The story remains thought provoking with how it handles the characters and their stories. The series remains comforting and uncomfortable at the same time. Many people consider the series overhyped. Like Evangelion, anime changed before and after Cowboy Bebop, and for many fans at the time, the story showed how anime wasn’t only for kids and teens. Unfortunately, adult-oriented stories remain relatively rare, but Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo prove anime has something for all ages. I enjoy spending time with Ed, Ein, and the rest of the crew. Fullmetal Alchemist I don’t mean Brotherhood when I list Fullmetal Alchemist. While Brotherhood follows the manga more closely than the original series, I prefer the original anime series. Brotherhood reduces Ed and Al into the typical shonen meatheads. Well, they aren’t as meatheaded as many protagonists are, but compared to their thoughtful, problem-solving versions of the original anime, their bulldozing persistent versions never felt quite right to me. But then, I prefer intellectual protagonists. That said, Winry is much a better character in Brotherhood and the ending is more satisfying, if less thought-provoking than the original series. Brotherhood isn’t bad, and I’ve been meaning to revisit it. But, as with so many of Toonami’s anime, I have fond memories of relaxing to the original series after working until midnight or later. Pokemon XY-XYZ I remember the initial craze surrounding Pokemon back in the 1990s. The anime series went a long way toward normalizing anime in the United States, if still continuing the association that animation is for children. The original series’s animation quality hasn’t aged well, even though it remains charming. XY-XYZ, however, elevated the animation quality of the series, combining 3D and 2D animation together to create a cinematic feel. Ash also sees surprising character progress for a children’s story, only to revert back to his target audience’s age and relationship experiences in the next series. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End This story hasn’t finished, so adding it to my list may be a bit premature; however, Frieren offers an excellent exploration of death, memory, nostalgia, and time. The story explores how emotions don’t have to be overt to be deep and meaningful. It has a quietude that I appreciate while raising the questions of life and death, of how we don’t appreciate what we have until it is gone. Frieren also teems with likeable characters and explores what happens after the hero wins–something that needs more exploration than it receives. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Anime suffers from a dearth of adult characters and stories, at least among Western releases. Ghost in the Shell along with Bebop and Champloo stands out because of the adult characters and themes. Not many anime can get away with philosophical discussions among characters as Ghost in the Shell does. This is a crime drama with that raises still-relevant questions about our relationship with technology. Dan Da Dan There’s some recency bias with how I’m adding Dan Da Dan to this list, much like Frieren. But this story is a wild ride with fun, frenetic animation and zany events that I’ve enjoyed. It’s surrealist at times, making me think of artists like Giorgio de Chirico. The characters are likeable and funny without falling into the annoying as so many anime comedies do. The creativity of it all keeps you guessing about what will happen next. Bleach Bleach has many problems with its pacing, story, and massive cast. Not to mention the comedy of later seasons falls into grating annoyance. There’s a lot of padding episodes that I skipped during my most recent revisit, making the story became tighter and more enjoyable. Despite these problems, Bleach remains enjoyable with a cool, urban chic and exciting battles. Bleach was among the titles I looked forward to watching on Toonami after a long week. Puella Magi Madoka Magica Madoka Magica offers a darker take on the magical girl genre, contrasting the heavy story with the cute character designs. It offers an interesting surrealist collage design when the girls fight against witches. Even if you aren’t into magical girl stories, this one offers an exploration of ethics, sacrifice, and friendship that’s worth watching. Horimiya Many romance stories provide examples of unhealthy relationships: codependency, insecure attachment, and various other unhealthy representations. These make for emotional conflict within stories and even for comedy, but they aren’t good models. Horimiya depicts a healthier relationship story, centered on acceptance and secure attachment. It’s not without conflicts or difficulties. A story needs some type of conflict or challenge for the characters to progress through. The characters feel realistic and less as tropes, even though you can find the usual shojo/josei story beats. Kill la Kill With a unique art style and frenetic animation, Kill la Kill stands apart from most other anime. It’s an example of how fan service can be used as vital part of the story while also satirizing and providing social commentary. Kill la Kill‘s animation reminds me of American Saturday morning cartoons rather than traditional anime design. It helps show how anime is a diverse medium. Dan Da Dan‘s animation style shares many similarities with Kill la Kill‘s, such as simplified character designs that lend themselves to dynamic action and speed deformations. Dragon Ball Z Kai I find the original Dragon Ball Z difficult to watch because of the padded fights and asides. Kai compresses everything into a more succinct (for Dragon Ball anyway) package. The quirky macho feel of the story keeps the story fun, even if the animation is dated by today’s quality standards. Dragon Ball‘s not a serious story, focusing instead on action, overcoming challenges, and teamwork. Perfect Blue Another mature story, Perfect Blue‘s animation and story has stuck with me, exploring psychological breakdown and stalking that feels similar to Alfred Hitchcock’s explorations of the psyche. The story plays with how perception determines reality, suggesting how everyone may live in a type of delusion until they learn to face themselves. Hellsing Ultimate There’s a madness to Alucard that breaths a freshness to the usually controlled portrays of Dracula. Hellsing Ultimate looks deep into the psychotic void that merges with violence to the point where villain and hero are just as evil. The story merges Dracula with Nazi conspiracy theories and stirs in legends of the Catholic Church’s exorcists while adding a technological twist. The result of an exploration of how the legacy of eugenics and technology dehumanize. Castlevania I first played Castlevania games on the original Nintendo console and enjoyed the series ever since. So when I first heard Netflix was producing an anime, I felt excited. And yes, despite how it was produced in the United States, I consider this series an anime. Besides, Castlevania is a Japanese video game series. Anime isn’t limited to Japanese studios, considering how tweens and production for anime are often outsourced to studios outside Japan. Castlevania features many elements combining 1990s style animation with modern styling. The character banter, the depth added to Dracula himself in the first season, the “gray” character motivation, and moral developments stand out. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Mecha stories like to sit in moral ambiguity and tangled plots of war. Code Geass continues this tradition with Clamp’s focus on character development and interpersonal conflicts as the driving force behind the conflicts. Politics and war spin out of these rivalries, friendships, and loves. The moral ambiguity of the story can leave you feeling uncomfortable at times, particularly if you attach to certain characters. The action punctuates these questions while also having realistic stratagems, which many series fumble. I’m no military strategist, but I facepalm whenever I see characters abandon superior defensive positions to charge headlong into their enemies and into certain defeat. I’m staring at you, Marvel Studios. Attack on Titan Attack on Titan is a thrilling first watch, full of twists and unpredictable events. One a second watch, you get to see the foreshadowing and threads that tie everything together. The story is well structured and well paced, with room for character development. Eren has an interesting character trajectory, starting as a typical stubborn shonen protagonist and changing to–well, you will have to watch if you haven’t already! Princess Mononoke This story provides a good example of Studio Ghibli’s traditional cel animation and the themes they often visit: the conflict and coexistence of humans and nature, love, and redemption. Ghibli has made many, many films, but this is the one I keep returning to. Pokemon Concierge I normally don’t like stop motion animation. Many stop motion uses clay as a part of its character or environmental design, which triggers an odd quirk I have. The sight of clay or Play-doh makes me nauseous. I have no idea why. Squishing and holding it makes my stomach turn over. But Pokemon Concierge uses felting and dolls rather than clay-sculpted figures. The felting adds to the cozy, soft story, while giving all the Pokemon personality and liveliness. You’ll want to pet them. And yes, Pokemon Concierge is anime. Anime is far more diverse in style than many fans know. Ouran High School Host Club Ouran offers a classic reverse harem story following a Tom girl who gets in touch with her feminine side and comes to understand the boys by acting like a guy. This story is among the first shojo stories I watched. It set the frame for how I would later understand shojo art and story beats. The story offers a fun satire of these beats and character tropes. Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets Wise Wolf I enjoyed the original Spice and Wolf series even though it cut off abruptly. I often returned to the original series to escape for a time. So, when I heard it was going to get a new treatment with the original English voice actors, I was thrilled! The story centers on economics for its plot, which is unique, but the banter sells this one. Holo and Lawrence grow into a mature, adult relationship with teasing, misunderstandings, and arguments throughout. The story has a melancholy laced through the laughter. Holo and Lawrence’s loneliness offers something many today can identify with. Spice and Wolf is a great road story that I will revisit again and again. Violet Evergarden Violet Evergarden offers an tearful exploration of love, separation, and friendship with letters joining people together. The story centers on change. Violet changes throughout the story. The world also changes around her, moving toward a modernity that leaves letters behind. The story explores a different facet of love in a mature, thoughtful way. This is a coming-of-age story, but Violet has already been involved in war and killing, moving her beyond the usual teen coming-of-age concerns usually seen. Instead, she has to work to recover her lost humanity. Takopi’s Original Sin Including this story on this list is another case of recency bias. Takopi’s Original Sin is a dark exploration of toxic positivity and how innocence can be sinful. The story follows several fourth graders as they deal with abuse, loneliness, suicide, and other difficulties, amplified by the positivity of the alien Takopi. This is not a story for everyone. Insomniacs After School This teen romance and coming-of-age story looks at the difficulty of being out of sync with the rest of the world. Particularly, when your chronotype doesn’t align. Insomnia and astronomy provides the means to relationship and self acceptance. Ganta and Isaki’s relationship feels natural with how it develops. It’s a relaxing, cozy story for sleepless nights. Oshi no Ko I’m uncertain if this series will remain on my list once it finishes, but the first episode is gripping. Aka Akasaka’s characters are interesting, and the dialogue is enjoyable, if more serious than Akasaka’s other work Kaguya-sama. The story looks deep at the darker side of the entertainment business. This is a revenge-mystery story. The anime adopts Mengo Yokoyari’s illustrative style well. Kaguya-sama: Love is War It’s rare for me to find a romantic comedy humorous, but Kaguya-sama made me laugh throughout both the anime and the manga. Aka Akasaka’s dialogue and jokes are on point, but there’s also heart to the character interactions. The ridiculous intellectual battles between Kaguya and Miyuki are great, especially with how the well-developed supporting cast. The narrator’s observations punctuate the jokes well. Honestly, the narrator might well be the best character. Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie I liked this story more than I thought I would. The premise of a bad-luck boy being protected by a capable girl who is, in turn, emotionally protected by him offers a fun romantic comedy. There’s no will-they-won’t-they here. Rather, it focuses on Izumi’s male insecurities surrounding the part-biological and part-social male need to protect women and what happens when...
