Bought it yesterday for the 20% off (~16USD) and been loving it. It's very zen once you start to figure out how best to run maps and I haven't even unlocked any of the other abilities yet.
A nice feature similar to Slay the Spire where you choose your run, but you can actually choose all of the path to the boss and focus on the high octane without going back to the map after each node.
It reminds me of basically surfing on land with lots of near misses you can be rewarded for based on your item drops. The items generally won't feel great until get the basics down and trying to consistently Perfect your landings since they are meant to augment the base skills.
All that said, definitely worth the money: the soundtrack is lit, there's an endless mode, the mascot main character is cute, and I really just vibe with the gameplay loop.

Hajime no ippo is supposedly really good on the hype factor, but I loved Megalo Box for both it's hype and vibe.

And yet I've seen Golden Boy, Blue Gender, Bubblegrum Crisis, and some of the Macross. You were definitely at the mercy of what the movie stories had on the shelves at the time, lol

Some of these I remember hearing when I was growing up, thanks for re-reminding they exist!

"Best" is definitely not specific enough, so if it makes sense for Tildes format I can consider being more narrow in the question.

All of these you provided are ones I hadn't picked up, I can't say I've seen a Mobile Suit show in some time and was curious which between Iron-Blooded and Witch from Mercury would be a good one to pick up.

What anime out there would you recommend to those craving a "complete" experience?
With all of the shows out there that may or may not get another season to someday catch up with their source material, it's kinda risky starting something and being able to see it through to the end.
One I recently remember watching, but never watched serially is Yu Yu Hakusho.
Finding a list probably exists, but interested in others folks would recommend that end on a bang while leaving you complete!

Comment on Looking for a simple lists app in ~tech
Prodiggles LinkObsidian is a pretty cool app that works across devices. The format is in markdown files, that way you can make it easily accessible and portable instead of locking down to specific file types....Obsidian is a pretty cool app that works across devices.

They also have some near features to graphically connect different documents together to allow you to find your notes. I know it's actually sitting on top of other frameworks, but depends on how easy you want to make it for yourself.

I do approve of more non-Google-Play marketplace, but never really taken the jump using any of my devices.

I'm on the third system and it really plays nicely where I get trounced because of a rough seed (most levels are randomly generated), I can go at it again know what's gonna pop out but just not where.
It's pretty awesome they recently'ish released the second game, but I'd love to dabble in the other 3 genres of games they have in the same universe (Steamworld Dig 1/2, Steamworld Quest, and Steamworld Build).

They're likely going to keep free games though, so you'll have to decide if it's worth it for the games and not much else.
Having seen this post when it originally hit the press, I decided to give it a go!
A bit about my phone habits:
My goals:
So far, grayscale has helped with 1 and 2, and so far I've gotten used to it and primarily keep it on unless I am watching something that struggles without color. The accessibility hover button makes it easy to quickly toggle off and on. It's a nice balance until a website or app doesn't support or consider users using color correction.
The last bullet point I actually ended up trying a new app launcher called Minimalist Phone that I'm testing to help with bullets 1-3 that also has some built in per-app color correction enablement.
Overall, a great little experiment I'm feeling has helped me pull back from my usage (while not excessive), I feel can always be improved by being conscious of and to try to modify my environment to keep things on a healthy curve.
Thanks for starting this little journey for me!
