  • Anime is sin, anime is trash I dont put scores because all animes are 10s and all are 0s, anime is the physical embodiment of sins and even tho it feels good, still is trash because is a sin and sins feels good but also are bad so 10/10 and 0/10

  • Well this year has been pretty hectic. We got to finish attack on titan saw a legend finish finally. Then saw an genre get flipped with oshi no ko it reinvented the genre that we know as Idol. the first episode was unforgettable. Saw a Legend being made with frieren at the end.

    Zaxphred

  • We've faced challenges tougher than overpowered protagonists, but we are still standing. As we step into the next realm of existence, may our stats be high, our quests legendary, and our encounters with truck-kun nonexistent. to more epic journeys and fewer filler episodes 🚀
