Thanks :)

Thanks for your comment on my blog! I don’t know if I said it there, but Bleach was one of my favorites back in middle school. I just finished the main series and will soon watch TYBW, but yeah, it’s tough looking back and seeing all the ways it fell short.

I see your profile pic is from HxH. That’s coming up on my list!

Love the new bio update LMFAO

Lol what?

I kinda grew up with it, which probably played the biggest part in my love for the series. It's not the best manga/anime, not even close. But it's definitely my favorite.

Maybe in due time.

I can only hope the new season can fix some of the problems JJK has, but I'm not so sure. For me, it fell off at some point after shibuya. It's still intriguing and I'm curious to see how it will end, but at this point, it's getting very hard to invest into JJK unless they do someting that's balls off the wall insane.

Thank you. I already know it's going to take me a while to catch up. Seems like it's worth it though.

Thank you for the good laugh. One Piece would be rated 7.5 if it started airing today...

Nice list of underrated anime, but I found Babylon absolutely repulsive for treating so lightly the topic of suicide (not something I would recommend to any anime fan, especially the numerous ones who may be suffering from anxiety or worse mental issues).

You're getting forum notifications now right? xD

Thanks!

thank you so much!! <3

In my opinion, the plot is so EXTREMELY basic and dry. Didn't really connect with any of the characters and fights start to get goofy half way through the show.

Not really enjoying it tbh

Thanks for the friend request. Great job on the profile. Also glad to see we have similar taste in anime and manga.

Also, I saw that you recently completed Spice and Wolf. I get why you have mixed feelings because the original adapation adapted volume 1,2,3 and 5. Fortunately, the new 24 episode adaption starting on April 1st 2024 by a different studio seems to want to do a more faithful adaptation. So if the cover Novel 4, it'll be different in it's last 6 episodes (19-24). However, I could be wrong and they could do a mix of novel plots like in the manga which covered bits and pieces in a mostly organic way, but skipped some stories seen in the novels and anime. For example, the manga did cover Novel 4.

As for your question on your list about how it's gone on this long? Simple. Original series was 17 volumes, but 3 were short stories, so it's actually 14 volumes, which is a little more reasonable. Also the author did finish the story with the 17th volume (and a large out of print omnibus), however for the anniversary years afterward, he came back with new volumes that are a mix of short stories (some from Holo's perspective) and a sequel story involving Holo and Lawrence. He's also writing another sequel series with one character who showed up later in the novels/manga. Currently up to 9 volumes.

As for why he can keep writing stories like this, its because they're a journey. And as we know journey storylines take their time, similar to Kino's Journey (up to 23 novels), classic Digimon or in a 100 episode anime like Dragon Quest: Adventure of Dai.

Hope that clears things up, but if the series is not for you, I understand. I won't try to convince you otherwise.

Agreed, HOPEFULLY Part 2 will be 24 episodes or that's the reason why they split it.
