  • Ermm Actually ☝🤓 skibidi toliet is the best anime of 2023 no questions asked. The dynamic between the war between the toliet bowl people and camera people was enaging, as they adapted to each others' strategies. The OP:"skibidi dop dop dop yes yes" is the most catchy tunes🚽📷

  • The start of the year 2023 was very tragic for me, to be honest; I lost all hope but watching some of the anime like magical revolution, ningen fushin, saving 80000 in another world" gave me the motivation to try again and again, thanks to anime I was able to stand again in life
