  • 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.

    ElqBell

  • There'll be always a moment of peace, to spend time just to watch anime alone. Maybe reading a manga or/and light novels, if people or an individual really want to immerse themselves further more than just anime alone. And of course, without the "noises" from the social media.

    Gumagala_Lang
