  • The start of the year 2023 was very tragic for me, to be honest; I lost all hope but watching some of the anime like magical revolution, ningen fushin, saving 80000 in another world" gave me the motivation to try again and again, thanks to anime I was able to stand again in life

  • Remember if your favorite anime of the year was a main stream good anime… it’s wrong because trash isekai anime’s is the only correct choice!

  • Anime have taught me so many things I won't forget.. One of those was so great that I still can remember and that was - "You shouldn’t die for your friends.. You should live for them..Because that's what leads to a future of happiness"..
