  • The laws of space and time dictate that in 24 hours you can only physically watch 60 episodes of anime. That didn't stop me from completing One Piece in 3 days.

  • This year has been amazing and packed but my favourite anime of this year was "Tokyo Revengers", The theme of changing the present by going into the past and the fact that all this was done by a delinquent is just fascinating and Baji's passing made it better and more tragic.

    XxSinpaixX
