If Arima Kana has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Arima Kana has ten fans, then Im one of them. If Arima Kana has only one fan then thats me. If Arima Kana has no fans, then that means Im no longer on earth. If the world is against Arima Kana, then I'm against the world.

In a year where nothing I did seem to work in favour of me and on the brink of falling into the hands of depression once more, these beautiful and awe-inspiring work of art came rushing to my aid-- dragging me out of the mud, now I feel like I could conquer the world. Thank you!

I like cats, but Bond is my fav dog that I like (I do not like dogs). However, I want to have an animal can look to the future, but I am not sure, because I cannot read other people's mind. But I love look Bond with Anya after all. And some questions are very interesting, thanks.

When life's a jest, and skies are gray, Anime's laughter lights the way. In dull moments, when spirits droop, Its quirky tales are the ultimate scoop!

I definitely think The Apothecary Diaries is one of the most beautiful shows of the year. The backgrounds are the flowers are wonderfully rendered, and the characters are enjoyable and memorable, especially Maomao.
