  • Too watch anime is the same as drinking wine. As I get older it gets better and better. But often it becomes undrinkable vinegar.

    Ryonie58

  • Calling a person a child for watching anime is like calling someone a baby for drinking milk. As long as no one gets hurt, people are allowed to consume whatever they desire. I'm glad I learned that because now I watch my shows without having to worry about what people may say.

    nekoMan11

  • Bye, 2023. You did good, I suppose, though I’m shocked that somehow the isekai well didn’t finally run dry again this year. Weird, because I could’ve sworn I saw all this year’s quirky smart boys travel to a faraway land three years ago. Who am I kidding, I still watch them too.
