Rambling about my dropped anime

With 115 completed items on my very own myanimelist account, I consider my 6 dropped items to be a relatively low number. This is because I usually always carefully consider if an anime I’m about to start is worth watching and will it work for my tastes. But sometimes those calculations can go wrong. It can result in slower watching of the series, usually an episode at a time in the hopes that a better part of the story...

The adorable ending sequence of Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Usually when I would make a post of this type, I would break down both the opening and ending sequence or simply the opening alone.

Here are five such situations I could think of: New game! (MAL link) I didn’t...

I loved 3-gatsu no Lion

3-gatsu no Lion was one of the most wholesome and heartwarming anime I’ve ever seen. I had teary eyes when I realized I have nothing left from it to watch. Really hoping for a season 3, as I’ve read there is enough source material for it. I feel like this anime doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
