Yeah, I cannot complain; it was a bit warm, but not enough to be all sweaty. We were in the countryside, where hot days turn the house into an oven, but on Christmas, it wasn't the case. We had a good meal, we laughed, and we opened our gifts. Thanks a lot for your best wishes as well C:
What about you? Did you have a good Christmas and New Year's celebrations?

I found one with a good discount, and decided to buy it as a gift for myself. I like saving money, and I know the prices aren't the best, but I saved some money, and I am enjoying my new console. I always buy the new ones as I already have a really bad experience with a second-hand Nintendo Wii I bought two years ago. Luckily, I was able to get my money back.
I like the way you word it: there is indeed a kind of envy that acts as a catalyst and makes you want to work to have something you want, and another one that makes you quite poisonous indeed. If it makes you want to be better, then it is something to consider.

You know, I've been watching some videos that appear on Instagram about a guy who asks people about their 1/10 anime until reaching the 10/10, and I cannot stop thinking about anime that had good soundtracks but bad stories. Like, years ago, I watched Divine Gate; it had a nice color palette, a good opening song (which was kind of popular), a great ending song (which I preferred more), and the battle systems were with elemental power, which I tend to like, but the story was so badly done. Like, I think it was based on a mobile game that got discontinued years ago, but the anime tried to do way too much in 12 episodes, to the point of becoming a mess. I think it had 7 main characters, but in the anime, only three got their stories revealed.

Speaking of musing in anime, games, and films, I am just rewatching the Scooby Doo 2002 Live Action movie, which is honestly one of my favorite movies hahaha; the scene of the gang breaking up, and the scene of them getting back together, always hits me because the insert song, like, it made everything so emotional, especially because they cared about one another, but at first the disrespect got too loud, yet they did miss each other. And just like you say, that song defined a memory with those scenes. I completely agree with that. Sawano knows how to create captivating songs that perfectly define the scenes; the anime Re: Creators was good, but his influence in it was impressive.
Octopath Traveler felt like old video games from the 90s, the pixel type, such as in Pokémon or Zelda, mainly with the GBA; I never had one as a kid, as their time ended long before I came to enjoy video games, but I played on emulators. It felt both nostalgic and captivating. The background designs are mesmerizing, especially on the beach and in the forests. The eight characters have completely different storylines, and their bosses require you to know about their abilities and weaponry. My only complaint would be that it would have been nicer if they had interacted a bit more, as their interactions happened after certain scenes, and you needed to know who to have at the exact moment. The final hidden boss was a nightmare. I needed to follow a video to know how to defeat him; I mean, it was divided into three stages, and you didn't have a save point. The first wasn't that bad, the second part took a bit of time but it wasn't the worst, but the final battle was a nightmare as luck was a huge factor to win - you need to have a certain character with low health points of life so his attack would be stronger, yet the enemie had two turns to attack, and he could even wipe your whole team with only one.

Mario Kart DS was the first video game I ever bought; by the end of seventh grade, I saved enough money to buy a DSi XL, which came with the game, and ever since, I have tried to play the Mario Kart games as I feel is one of the most enjoyable spin-offs of the main franchise. I have mostly explored the franchise of Mario on 3DS and Switch, as I never played the older ones, outside of Emulators. I know Super Mario World is one of the most popular, but I never played it until the end. I did complete Super Mario Odyssey, which felt like a love letter to the fans, especially a certain level where you played a remake of the original Mario vs Donkey Kong game. Mario is truly a great franchise.

I think you mentioned it before, and I agree with it hahaha. But yeah, Shounen is that, a source of escapism that offers different worlds, powers, and possibilities. I mean, who didn't watch a show and wanted to be part of it? Hahaha.
Indeed, there are so many anime I want to see coming back someday. It's criminal that Nozaki-kun hasn't come back yet; that anime was gold. Honestly, season 1 of Panty & Stocking was nasty, but season 2 improved so much I cannot even believe it.
SI-VIS is currently on its 14th episode. I feel that if they had gone down a dark route, things could have been better. I mean, they brutally killed one of the characters in the first episode to set a dark tone, but they haven't used that much ever since. There are only 10 episodes left, and at best, it can ascend to a 7/10, but who knows? It honestly feels like something written by a group of students who divided the parts of an assignment; like, someone wrote the introduction, another person the first paragraph, and so on.

Exactly, Katniss was so traumatized and on guard way before her Hunger Games, so her perspective is pretty limited regarding a lot of topics; she is just there to survive and to tell everything she sees, but she is unable to analyze it properly, and reaching survival is her only goal. Also, she didn't have 25 years like Haymitch to analyze patterns and other tributes.
That eye-shaped arena better be included in the movie with a shocking or scary song, hahaha. I feel scene solidified many theories regarding Snow and his knowledge of District 12 - I am very sure he had cameras in every tree.
That is something I tend to like a lot when watching anime, TV Shows, movies, or when reading manga, and it is that there is a point where you cannot keep justifying your ideas with "doing good"; I mean, in Evangelion for instance, they made kids fight against aliens threteaning humanity, yet the maing leader had a hidden agenda were he was just waiting for time to do things. You may have noble ideals, but using them by force doesn't make you better than the villain you are trying to defeat.
Exactly, and that is why I had some issues reading Cloud Atlas, as the first story of the book was written in a very archaic English and was hard to follow. I understand the message by the end of the book, but I needed a dictionary every time I read those parts.

Gothic is really the best way to describe it; the color palette when the girls were on their stage outfits or having a mental breakdown always used colors that made you think "something bad is going to happen."
A friend told me both seasons of Uma Musume Cinderella Gray are legally available and dubbed on YouTube, so I may watch them.

I think Ruri Rocks may be what you say, an anime that grows on you as you keep on watching; I mean, I didn't give a chance to My Dress-Up Darling because it was Ecchi, yet I enjoyed it a lot when I watched it.
Fan service will never be something too enjoyable for me, as I feel it takes some value out of the series and characters. I mean, I know the common idea regarding Fairy Tail is that it is mostly the Power of Friendship, and it is true to some degree, but fans keep on ignoring the fact that most characters were orphans, saw their parents dying in front of them, were abandoned, ostracized, or came from abusive homes. But the main issue for me is the ecchi and fanservice; the main female lead, Lucy, was used for so much time for fanservice that it is hard to take her seriously. She is one of the most prominent users of the magic she specializes in; she evolved it to something no one else did before her, yet it is hard to command her for that became of the way she was portrayed for so many years.

One of the things I enjoy a lot about the newer season of Fumetsu no Anata e is seeing how mentally unstable Fushi is becoming; his pursuit of eradicating Nokkers is making him go crazy and even violent towards others. When he was the innocent Fushi of the past who fought to learn how to speak, he was more focused, yet he became more knowledgeable, and he is really lost on what to do. Also, he became quite dependent on his friends, even more than in the past, to the point that going somewhere else scares him.
Yet, I stuck with what I said before, this season is enjoyable but a bit hard to watch. I swear, every time Mizuha appears, I just want to press forward because I cannot stand her.
I think I see what you were saying in your review about Isekai. And in a way, I think I can see it, especially regarding that Hayase cult and the Nokkers becoming almost impossible to defeat.

Hahaha, I know, Kingdom is now feeling like One Piece; always airing, always surrounded by different anime every season.
I am sensing something interesting there. What happened with Kingdom season 1?

If I have to choose an anime that is still stuck in my head as the best anime of 2025, it has to be Kowloon Generic Romance; there were some moments I didn't understand that well, but I really enjoyed it from beginning to end.

I am not going to lie, I wasn't the biggest fan of To Be Hero X; it wasn't a bad series by any means, I simply didn't find it to be the masterpiece everyone claimed it was. I enjoyed certain storyarcs, and I liked how some of the stories connected. You need to know that the series is told in a non-linear way.

Do not apologize for giving your opinion; we are all entitled to our opinions as long as we don't disrespect others. If you aren't convinced by an anime and you shared your opinion with points and facts, you are doing nothing wrong.
I think I heard about that Versailles film, but I never watched it, though it caught my attention a bit, and I was surprised when I saw it wasn't that good. I was curious about the Anne Shirley anime, but I didn't watch it when it aired because I didn't have time. What happened to it that it wasn't so good?

The few times I have written reviews, I always wanted to explain clearly the reason why I didn't like it or don't recommend it. It's your opinion, and as I said, you are allowed to have one, so don't worry about it. If you are satisfied with it, that is all that matters.
I hope you can enjoy Ave Mujica; the group is pretty interesting as they are all crazy in their own way. Yet, the people in charge didn't know how to balance them properly. It is flawed, but still enjoyable.

Same, I am really interested in what we will talk about this year. It seems there is a lot of new anime worth talking about, such as Tamon's B-Side.
I can say the same to you; you really have a way with words and a splendid vocabulary.

All the best to you too in this new year :)

belum, kata authornya masih belum ada pembicaraan apapun tapi dia berharap agar ada season berikutnya

haha yoi nih

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope you have a wonderful year C:

Yes, I cannot complain that much. I had a good time on Christmas; I was in charge of preparing dinner, and I received a lot of good feedback, haha.
There was a store that was selling it at a pretty reasonable price, but I needed a certain credit card that I wasn't able to obtain on time. I will wait and hope that next year it appears with a reasonable discount. Exactly, I have the money for the current price, but I want to save some money. You never know.
Same! I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you had a great celebration alongside your loved ones, and an excellent 2026 C:

That is a good mindset. If you use your spare time to do something enjoyable, be productive, and learning, that says a lot about maturity. Exactly, I understand Envy has a lot of negative connotations, but there is a certain type of Envy that pushes you towards something else, something only you can accomplish.

I feel exactly the same; being able to talk with someone so sincere and who is so insightful as well as caring, is something very enjoyable. You know, at times I have found some anime to be quite bad, but the soundtrack, opening, or ending song keeps me from dropping it hahaha.

I completely agree with your statement; the music used for anime, movies, shows, or videogames may varied, at times we can find some songs that increase the humor in certain scenes, I don't remember Gintama that much but they knew how to mixed things with the insert songs, such as with the dog scene from the radio, or they used OST that really crushes you, such as in Attack on Titan when they released the bodies. This game I am playing, Octopath Traveler, has an incredible music score, and I must say that even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe had some awesome songs.

Hiroyuki Sawano is a genius; he deserves so much recognition; everything he does turns into gold. There are still OSTs and songs from anime series that I hear to this day.
I like your words a lot, especially because you described Shounen's popularity very accurately. They may have some problematic tropes, moments, and characters, but at the end of the day, they are a good source of escapism to enjoy a world where everything is possible. Who hasn't wanted to go on one of those adventures? Hahaha.

Panty & Stocking was so nasty, yet for some reason, season 2 worked so much more. Considering season 2 arrived 15 years later, I guess it is safe to say maybe all of our favorites can return someday hahaha.

I was discussing SI-VIS with the friend who recommended me to watch it, and he said something very interesting; the main issue with the series is that there isn't a direction. It feels like everyone involved with it is trying to portray the anime the way they wanted. At times, they became serious, and then they anticlimactically went humorous. Like, I feel Episodes 1 and 2 were a good beginning, but then the camping in the woods episode aired, and things didn't feel right. And it has been like that for a while. Sometimes at the top, sometimes on the floor.
Indeed, when characters are trying to portray themselves as the good ones by using wrong means, it is hard to fully look at the outcome only with one light. Support can easily turn into manipulation and vice versa.
Good to know, the list of anime I want to watch is kind of big, and a bit different from the anime I have on PTW hahaha.

I have come to see in the months after Sunrise on the Reaping that Katniss was an unreliable narrator; in her POV, her words made it seem like she thought everyone hated her, while she was, in fact, a pillar of the community. It would be nice to see more perspectives.
The eye-shaped arena had to be one of the biggest messages ever; proof that Snow knew everything.
Exactly, when in an extreme situation where survival isn't guaranteed, there is no way morals won't fracture, especially if the people trapped with you aren't scared to shoot first.
I understand your point, I really do, especially because you are right, the archaic vocabulary doesn't ruin the experience; but, when you have to read it for a test made by a horrible teacher, it is hard to find the beauty in books.

Honestly, the opening song, the Gothic and dark theme were perspective, the chorus was catchy, and the visuals of each Ave Mujica member losing it was crazy. I mean, Uika, Mutsumi, Nyamu, and Umiri looked so crazy in the opening song. The season could have handled things a bit better, but all in all, I don't regret watching the anime, and I enjoyed it a lot.
Sorry, I think I forgot this part. With Musume, were we talking about Uma Musume or another anime?

I have heard a lot of praise towards Ruri Rocks, but as of now, it is not calling my attention much if I am being honest; I have some anime I want to watch when January begins aside from the seasonals. What is it about that? When there isn't much fan service, that is always something I appreciate.
Kingdom is one of those anime that I always see a new season airing every year, hahaha.

Yes, I am currently watching Fumetsu no Anata E season 3, and I cannot say I am the biggest fan. Personally, I am not very fond of the newer recurring characters; I hate Mizuha a lot, and I don't have any sympathy or empathy for her. Of every Hayase descendant that appeared and lost their mind, Mizuha is my least liked. I swear I dislike an aspect of her ever, from her damsel in distress moments to the times she looks down on others for not being perfect like her. I feel really bad for her mother.
I agree that the new setting in which the new season events are happening is a bit too different; the series started with Fushi going everywhere while learning about the world and humans, and now Fushi is more static. What did you mean by Isekai in your review?

I know, 2025 is finally over. It was a really exhausting year in a lot of ways. I hope the final years treated you kindly, and once again, I wish you all the best in 2026 :)

thanks for the comment and sry for the late reply
i dont think that theres anything objective abt my list it's just stuff that i enjoy or whatnot
i really liked kaoru hana and its cute antics, in spite of its archetypal depiction of school life, thought twas a refreshing and v wholesome series. i like the main couple and think that they complement each other well enough

Yes, I am currently in a Christmas mood, and I have been buying presents for my family; I wanted to gift myself a Switch 2, but I will wait until there is a discount. I saved the paychecks, and I have the money, but I won't spend so much on a console.
Thanks for the concern, it is nice to read those words :) I hope everything has been going great on your end in the weeks we haven't talked.

I feel the same way; your words and messages are really kind, and it is a pleasure to read them. Your words are really considerate and reflective C:

Honestly, I've been working on myself, so I can't complain much at the moment. I hope everything is going well on your end in these final weeks of the year.

Exactly, if a song from the soundtrack is engaging, you just want to go back as much as possible, to the point you never forget about that anime. For me, Gintama is an anime with some of the most beautiful songs ever - some OSTs are perfect, wholesome, and just perfect. AoT is the same, and also everything that makes Sawano Hiroyuki.
To get yourself invested in something to the point it evokes childhood memories or gives you a feeling that you can't put into words, then that anime did something good. I get that Shounen may be looked down at times, and with valid reasons when certain topics or tropes are overused, but at the end of the day, if you can relax, laugh, and get invested in the adventure, that is all that matters.

Completely, I am happy I gave a chance to Akiba Maid War as it was amazing. In just 12 episodes, they told a hilarious, ridiculous, and wholesome story.
I decided to give another original anime series a chance - Panty and Stocking with Ganterbelt - which was an anime I knew for a long time, but I never watched. Season 1 was nasty, like something a middle schooler with raging hormones would write about, and the plot twist in the final episode saved things. Season 2, on the contrary, was surprisingly good; they added two new villains who were a great addition to the cast. Its fandom has to be one of the most loyal, as they waited 15 years for a second season, and the third one was already announced.
SI-VIS is an anime about a music group that fights invaders and needs the support of their fans to increase their powers. So far, it has had some ups and downs - some episodes have been quite interesting and enthralling, and others felt too filler-like. It will be 24 episodes long, it is currently in episode 10, and I would say so far things are a 6.5/10.

Oh yeah, Street Art; it had some suggestive art I didn't know I would find hahaha. As far as I remember: MC was a closeted bisexual who didn't want to accept he liked man because he got traumatized after discovering his father affair with another man - spoiler alert, the other man was big, and the father was the bottom - most people in his circle were pretty open-minded, including him, but it took him some time to be completely honest. Due to his love interest, he came to know more about another part of the LGBT community, but also faced harsh discrimination by homophobes who beat him up badly and were also targeting other members of the community. There was a massive confrontation, and things ended on a good note. My biggest complaint was how judgmental MC could be, and how manipulative his circle was.

Nichijou has been appearing on my Instagram feed for quite a long time now, and all the videos are quite crazy. Dandadan is so good and absurd. Momo is one of my favorite main female leads. I only wish the author would give her another form to fight; everyone else has one, and I would appreciate the same for her.
I swear, Mags and Wiress reaping was opening an old wound; they were so caring and rebellious. Wiress victory, though only mentioned, will always be one of the best. Maysilee Donner is a queen - proof you can be rich, with an attitude, kind, and iconic. You know, I am never getting over Sunrise on the Reaping. I have to say, I have mixed feelings about the movie after seeing the trailer.

It was thanks to your explanation and past analysis; it made so much sense, especially because, under dire circumstances, where your life is on the line, morals and forcing them on everyone may not be the best option, there are countless examples of how people turn into their worst selves under stress.
I hope so as well. I am currently building a collection of games, and I really want to get that one back.

Exactly! There are so many amazing books that could lead to great conversations, but teachers made it feel like a punishment, especially when they are the threatening type who make you feel scared of asking, and love humiliating their students.
I swear I need to read Don Quijote again one day - the archaic Spanish is going to be an eldritch nightmare, but I feel it is worth the try. Don Quijote and Sancho were really amazing and interesting characters.

The spiralling into madness in Ave Mujica was great, but it could have been so much better - Mutsumi and Uika were the only ones who lost it badly, but the opening song made it seem like Umiri and Nyamu were also turning mad, which didn't happen to the same degree as the other two. Umiri had like two episodes centered on her, and Nyamu got some scenes. I wish this anime were a bit longer, as it could have been a truly psychological series.

I never heard of Ruri Rocks. I am already watching a lot of anime from the season, some of which I think could have been better - I have the theory most studios used all their savings for Summer 2025 for how good that season was - and I am currently adding two more now that the season is almost ending; Saigo ni Hitotsu and Toujima Tanzaburou. What is Ruri Rocks about?
Ugh, fanservice, I am not the biggest fan of ecchi - I think the only anime I was able to enjoy that had fanservice was My Dress-Up Darling, but that's all.

Thank you very much. This year went by quite fast, but it was a heavy one as well. I hope these final weeks of the year are treating you kindly :)
I swear, SI-VIS is like a series where one week the episode is engaging and interesting, and the other isn't convincing; it will have 24 episodes, so let's see if things can get better.

Correct Answer. I still remember how baffled I was when I first saw this surreal character, I really thougth that it was a scanning mistake or something like that, but even in the physical Brazilian version of the Omnibus, he is still there. It got be one of my favorite single panels I've ever read in comics in general.

So, weird background characters like him, is a recorruring thing that Osamu Tezuka did in his manga? I will keep that in mind when I read his main series in the near future.

No problem. Nice to meet you and I appreciate the warm welcome! I definitely like your taste in media as well!

Thanks for the compliments, you got great favorites too, particularly the classical composers and influential writers.

Seeing that you have Osamu Tezuka's MW in your favs, I will ask you something, that have I waited years to talk about:
Do you know what exact page of said manga, is where the character from my forum profile picture is from? Here's a tip: it's on the final three chapters of the story.

Hello and thanks! you have great taste too! im glad to meet another fan of Erin after so much time lol

hi bang just wanna say I love your aesthetic

Hi! How have you been?
Don't worry about it, I love reading long messages. Let's get into business hahaha.

Your words flatter me a lot :) You are also a wonderful person. I really enjoy reading your replies as you offer some insightful and great comments.
I have been really busy with work, but the paycheck is right around the corner, hahaha. I have also been a bit sick, but nothing that seems too scary for now.
I am glad to hear you are living your best life. We all deserve to have a time when we can finally be at ease with what and who we love. I appreciate your words a lot, more than you think, and I also wish you nothing but the best. Nothing but the best :)

Don't get me wrong, but your sentence "is rare to find someone who communicates with such thoughtfulness" made me remember the lyrics of Seven Wonders by Fleetwood Mac, hahaha. Back to the topic, I agree, I enjoy exchanging ideas with someone who has so much knowledge and care for different series, such as you. That is a lovely quote you wrote, and forgive me for copying it, but I also hope the months that remain in 2025 treat you better than anything else.

Soundtracks, in my opinion, are the most important aspect in any instance; the right song can save several scenes and turn things into a passing mark.
Hahaha, I think you are overpraising me too much. I'm sure they were all ideas that occurred in different paragraphs, each happening at a different moment. I think I said that Jojo's first episode infuriated me way too much, mainly because of how I disliked Dio and the first Jojo's dad. The way everyone turned on Jojo was disgusting. I love to talk with people who make me remember Cyberpunk Edgerunners, because I don't think I will ever get over it, even though there were moments I didn't understand very much, mainly the specifics about technology. The characters made the story compelling and deep; they never had a chance of winning, but they still fought. There is something commendable about that.
Original shows like Akiba Maid War are often at a disadvantage, as they lack a source material to draw from, and when they succeed, it is truly remarkable. I am currently watching an original anime that doesn't have anything to do with Akiba Maid War, but I cannot stop thinking it will be either a hidden gem or a complete mess; I am talking about SI-VIS.

Can you recall what we were discussing? Were we talking about the characterization of anime, a book, or a show? For instance, if it was about the book I discussed with you that got a bit too graphic with the illustrations, then I think maybe both; the main character was quite judgmental about social status, while other characters were hiding information and acting morally superior. Like, the MC's best friend was almost shaming the MC for not accepting he had feelings for a man, while the best friend enjoyed crossdressing and didn't say anything about it because he was also scared.

Nichijou is on my radar as I have watched lots of videos about the anime on social media, and it seems like a great anime, but I haven't watched it yet. Dandadan is so far one of my favorite manga. I love every character so much; I love the first season opening song more than anything, and it's on my Spotify list. Even though I didn't like the second season opening, I still feel it was a great season. That cliffhanger was everything, especially when you remember Aira was in the house.
There is something about absurdity that makes everything funnier, like, you know, they won't happen, like in movies such as Scary Movie, yet you cannot stop feeling attracted to it. It's so ridiculous, you just want to see what's coming.

I completely agree, the fact that Wiress survived purely on observation was, in my opinion, one of the strongest acts of rebellion; she didn't get her hands dirty, won the games, and got the title of Victor and all celebrations without doing what the Capitol wanted her to do. I am not sure I'll ever watch Catching Fire the same.
Ampert was such a great kid, and I hate how little the actor chosen is because I am sure in the movie, his death won't be solely about his bones. Same with the little girl from District 6. I feel the Capitol didn't think things through, like, by keeping Lampert alive, they could have blackmailed Beetee as much as they wanted. I will never get over the "I'll be your sister" scene. I remember it, and I want to cry.
I swear, Suzanne Collins' message in Sunrise on the Reaping was one of the loudest ever. The arena in the shape of an eye was way too real.

I love it, I copied this whole paragraph because it was perfect; your explanation about Machiavelli is really engaging, and can explain the Hunger Games quite spot on, just like many other series and franchises. When the only goal is to survive and just be alive for tomorrow, there isn't much space to think about morals; you just make up your mind and try to ignore the voices that say Don't do it.

For real, the archaic Spanish was impossible, like, no, just no; it's been a long time since I last read it, but think of a book published in 1605, written in another dialect of your language, and tell me if you can read a page without the need of a dictionary. Yet, the book was brilliant, maybe I will buy a copy to keep on my bookshelf if someday I want to reread it.
Huh, I never thought of it like that; my language teacher was a really bad person (I am biting my nails not to use the word I want to use), and with her, the only thing you wanted to do was pass; liking the books was not the goal. But now that I think about it, the summaries did manage to keep the spirit of the book and how great it was. Miguel de Cervantes was a genius.
Exactly, there is something compelling about Sancho, how he grew from being greedy, and how loyal he became. He did care for Don Quixote.

I don't think so; the judge was in for blood; he didn't care if the victims were manipulated to commit crimes or weren't truly the ones at fault; he just wanted justice. Plus, when the radio announced their crimes, none of them cared in the sense of wanting to apologize; the plan was set in stone after that moment.
I think the only character we saw who had some remorse was Emily, but when that happened, it was already too late; it was her turn. Like, they were all in the same death game situation, and while most of them were losing it, wanting to survive, she was the only one who sat and for a moment thought about the person she had wronged.

Yes, I messed it up, I swear there are nights I cannot stop hating myself for that; I am getting it back, I don't know when and I don't know how, but I am getting it back. It will be pricey, but I don't care.
Yoshi's Island DS was a huge surprise. I still cannot believe I got it. I found a copy of Princess Peach DS, but it is in a city at least 6 hours away from here.

Exactly, it's something we know is not human, yet is not there wanting to attack us, it's just there existing. I don't think humanity would recover from that, though; there is no way that numbness can grant happiness. It's either doing everything to ignore them, or accepting the possibility that something we don't know would want to kill us, whatever they like.

I feel it will be one of those scenarios where characters get absorbed and disappear, and later reappear; I think something big will happen regarding Laios, but I don't know anything else. Like, with how crazy Dungeon Meshi is, I can picture anything happening hahaha.
The Plague sounds quite interesting, and it a way, reflects what happened during the COVID Lockdown as well; I mean, at first everyone was scared of it, then life went on, people went out to eat, to party, to buy at the mall, then there was a resurgance of fear, but things moved on pretty quickly and back "to normal" by wearing face masks.

Ave Mujica was one of those anime that was a huge letdown, but it is still something I am willing to defend; if it lasted for a little more than maybe things would have been different. All in all, I just loved how toxic and dark it was, to the point that even in the end, you cannot convince yourself that any of the girls are mentally sane. I mean, each girl can be summarized by the lyrics of Taylor Swift, "I Shouldn't be left to my own devices."

I completely agree with you, it's always nice to find someone passionate with whom I can talk about several different topics. I have had a lot of luck on this site. I wish you the best in your everyday life as well; I hope what is left of 2025 brings you nothing but the best.

Same here, I know this message will reach you quite late, but I was happy to hear from you again :)
I will be waiting for your next message. I wish you nothing but the best.

To be honest, nothing beats Summer 2025; the anime from the last season were splendid. Initially, I didn't have any plans to watch much anime from this season, but somehow I ended up watching nearly 20 hahaha.
Some haven't convinced me entirely, but so far, the ones I am enjoying a lot are:
-Yano-kun no Futsuu no Hibi (Compelling, funny, and sweet.)
-Wandance (The CG is horrendous, but I like the main character and his struggles.)
-Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi (Good so far.)
-Sanda (So weird hahaha.)
-Gnosia (Picture Among Us.)
