  • This year has truly been incredible, but the high point for me were definitely the romance and action anime that released. They were absolutely amazing! Honestly, I can't wait to see what gems the new year brings in this genre too.

  • The temptation to give up is a common one, and nobody is exempt. Failure isn't something many of us can handle gracefully. And even though we know it's a common human condition, we're somehow always surprised when it happens to us.
