  • This year has been a great time to be an anime fan, we had a lot of selections to watch and every season was enjoyable and had atleast one Anime I'd look back on.Yet the one Anime that stands above all for me will be Vinland Saga S2 and for romance it'd be the Dangers in my Heart

  • “I am risking my life, but I don’t intend to throw it away.” - Megumi Fushiguro, shows that for everything you fight for you have to risk something eventhough it could happen that you lose/fail but you tried it with your whole heart. So risk it, the thought counts.
