Does that seem like a Full Throttle topic title? This plot concept has been used a lot over the years in sci-fi and fantasy alike. I'll name Run Lola Run, even if it isn't explicitly that concept, and Katana Zero, which... also isn't exactly that premise but hits some of the notes pretty hard.

I would've tagged this spoilers just because the fact that a story contains a theme can be a surprise, but I couldn't find a comprehensible way to add it into the remaining part of the topic title. Hopefully people will realize that from the subject. --- "God Hand is the ultimate expression of the joy of humanity, specifically the punching part of the joy of humanity."-Shigeru Miyamoto ...

Games that come to mind: Majora's Mask The Forgotten City As for movies I wasn't fussed on Predestination or Looper (or Groundhog Day for that matter >_>), but Primer is great and Edge of Tomorrow, Source Code, and Donnie Darko are cool too. I'm sure there's tons I'm forgetting. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is a plot trope I enjoy that I feel is often used poorly. In terms of how well I think the time travel elements are utilized I think I'll go with The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. (strictly speaking not a loop really, but whatever...) My favorite overall story that contains significant time loop elements is probably either Steins;Gate or --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. ... Copied to Clipboard!

this is one of my absolute favorite tropes "mystery spot" in supernatural is arguably its best episode liked palm springs recently among other stuff listed in this topic, majora's mask is one of my favorite games ever, and i loved higurashi (the anime) too. steins;gate is also fun, though is that really a time loop? IIRC from okabe's POV time progresses relatively linearly, right? --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...

well since the topic opened with things that are not traditional iterative time loops but deal with them thematically, I guess I'll be that person: Homestuck Similarly, Others have covered things I like and given me some good recs but shoutouts to Outer Wilds, GOAT game --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ...
