Some characters are swords made to defend, and some shields made to attack. But when the time comes they can finally do what they were made for. Attack or defend.

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.
