  • Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to

  • Lots of Interesting Animes were published in the year of 2023. I also felt that some of the options were equally good that it was hard to choose. Overall the season of 2023 had quite a major release of anime. It also had a few server break kind of moments for some ongoing anime.
