    Jaredhtm

  • Looking forward to a splendid new year with you all!

    Listless-Weeb

  • "but in essence, it's [the pleasure district] no different from the rear palace. It's both a garden and a cage... The stale, trapped air poisens everyone. The courtesans also eat the poison around them, to become a sweet poison themselves." The Apothecary Diaries, Ep 8, 15:12

    Amy-hakase

  • People die when they are killed.

    Jaymania

  • This year has been a less memorable year for me. In each season, there are some anime that are too dominant (Sosou no Frieren, Oshi No Ko, Kimetsu). Composition between anime romance and action are very unbalanced. Hopefully in 2024, more anime will be stable. Yohohoho

    NotHumanXz

  • 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).
