  • I would just like to congratulate all the anime teams/studios for their efforts, time, and love for the work. I would like to thank all the MAL members for their daily efforts and amazing events. The sweat, time invested, was worth it.

    YooImHere

  • A true ninja isn't measured by the battles they win, but by the strength to rise when their world crumbles. Even when no one believes in you, stand tall—because that's when you'll prove you never needed saving.
