  • 2024 has been a great year for me with the tons of animes I've watched. The important thing that i learned this year is that at the end of the day it's you and the things you love. So, it's ok to be you, just be you.

    kindlymiquella

  • For Karaoke Ultra-Hard Mode, my vote goes to: "Another World" - Isekai Suicide Squad OP I've tried to sing it many times but always failed! I just find the part she hits those really high notes impossible to get right. If someone manages to sing it, please tell me how you did it.

    unroze

  • Ok...let me say this, 'Kanokari' is getting a 4th season whereas 'Nisekoi' didn't get more than 2 seasons of adaptation. Woww. Is 'Kanokari' that profitable?! No wonder the likes of '3 gatsu no lion' , 'Hinamatsuri' , 'Yatagarasu' , didn't receive continuation. It's just sad.
