  • 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.

    AssortedCheese

  • Wishing you friendships as strong as anime alliances and success as epic as a hero's journey. Here's to embracing life's adventures with the same enthusiasm we had for discovering new anime gems in 2023!
