The "Perfect" Franchise - A comprehensive deepdive
30This video is a supercut of my 4 videos (Plus 2 entirely new segments) on every piece of media in the Xeno (Perfect Works) meta-franchise developed by Monolith Soft and created by Tetsuya Takahashi and his wife Soraya Saga. This is easily one of my favorite franchises of all time, so I hope you're willing to endulge me a bit for this feature length journey of a video.
If you enjoy my stuff then feel free to tip me a buck or two to fund video expenses like unscanned and untranslated material:

I lied, I wasn't out of paint. I just feared I would finish the portrait. I wanted to keep on painting forever. So I wanted to buy time. She'd probably despise me for that.
