  • "And with a little luck, you'll find the anime that inspires you to do your best!" Keep documenting that anime here on MAL and let's have another great anime year! As Luffy would say, "if you don't take risks, you can't create a future" remember that! - Cory

  • I love sword art online, while other anime strengthens your imagination and because you become hikikomori. Sword Art Online makes me want to meet with new friend who loves Kenjutsu and follow sword competitions (rapier, saber, long sword).
