โMade in Abyssโ
One of my favorites in terms of fantasy, the art is fantastic and the characters are interesting.
I can’t really say much more than that without spoiling anything, go watch it! โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: 3rd of December, 2O19 End date: 4th of December, 2O19
Oh my. I've had this anime in my list for some time and postponed watching it.
My only regret is why I DIDN'T WATCH IT earlier;
as an artist myself, i absolutely fell in love with the scenery. Oh the scenery.
Absolutely stunning drawings and concept ideas.
Each layer of the Abyss had it's own nature and i couldn't take my eyes off the screen
while the characters were describing the surroundings.
My thoughts were constantly "protecc Reg & Riko, protecc the babies."
Tho it went from childish and cute to brutal in ep 10, man. Like heart, my heart man.
Nanachi & Mitty deserved SO GDMN BETTER don't even try to change my mind.
I'll be waiting for the movie in 2020.
Im really thankful to my Santa who choose this as a gift. LIKE YOU GOT SOME TASTE
โShingeki no Kyojin Season 2โ
You’ve only seen the first season, but I think you really should continue with it.
The world building overall is some of the best I’ve seen,
and the series as a whole has a large possibility to become a modern masterpiece.
Season 3 Part 2 is hands down the best climax I’ve ever seen in anime,
but you have to watch season 2 to really flesh out the characters and the setting. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: 4th of December, 2O19 End date: 4th of December, 2O19
And I remembered why I didn't watch the continuation:
creator killing characters i love and leaving annoying kids alive (im looking at you Armin and Eren).
Im crushing on Reiner & Bertholdt and then i know everyone is against them, so there's that.
Tho i loved the whole concept, i was a huge fan back when the first season came out (2013),
but you know what boggles my mind now, after 6 years? People putting so much pressure on kids
in Survey Corps. Like Erwin, i love you, you're hot and smart, and good, but boi, you're wrecking kids.
Most of them are like... 17-20. Im older than them and it would completely break my mind in no time,
just like Reiner's D.I.D. Imma probably won't watch the upcoming seasons, because the pain of losing
my fav characters aren't easy. (i already know who dies, but whatevs).
Thanks to my santa, i had some great time and my butt also hurts, from sitting too much lol
(image is pretty crappy, but the pizza was homemade and YUMMY, it was weird eating my pizza when titans ate humans)

Oh boy this “Romance” OVA was an awful experience to sit through.
I can’t imagine what it’d be like if I didn’t like the genre. Have fun! โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: 2nd of December, 2O19 End date: 2nd of December, 2O19
the whole plot idea seemed nice at first, then it just cringed me. Leave the dude alone, you're dead, bruh.
Fighting with your younger self over a boy is just... there's no proper expression for this.
It wasn't as painful to watch, as it was one episode.
I survived without any casualties.
โAkikan!โ
Honestly the worst Romance/Ecchi/Pseudo-Harem anime I’ve ever seen.
It was pretty awful to watch, hope you hate it as much as I did. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: 1st of December, 2O19 End date: 3rd of December, 2O19
Seriously, this hurts both my eyes & ears.
Carbonated drinks turning into girls and becoming obsessed over their "owners". + there's incel-type of MC,
classmate girl "in love" with him (she's def way more of an airhead than i can tolerate).
That "Melon" is abusively tsundere (i am too, but i don't hit people, bruh). Pedophile gay dude. Seriously? tryna flirt with 16 y/o? Wild.
That grape kid ticked me off with her high-pitched + annoying voice and behavior.
Unnecessary ecchi (boobs... don't bounce like that). The whole show consists of drama-seeking characters, too much for me to handle.
SO yes, I do hate it as much and probably more than you did, Santa. Thank you for the torture!
Amount of time: 15h 44m
mama did not raise no quitter so I went full berserk on it and watched all of them.
I'm not quitting anytime soon, man. Not a chance.
I shall thank my santa for making my heart feel excited & disturbed at the same time!
โACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-kaโ
Hello. Actually I am not sure, but this anime (ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka) is one I came.
Story is about mystery with some action, at the same time it is a seinen,
so I hope, you'll enjoy that. Moreover, art style of original mangaka is great.
Happy holidays! โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: 29th of December, 2O19 End date: XX of December, 2O19
โJinrui wa Suitai Shimashitaโ
I think this is one of the (somewhat) hidden gems of anime, and one that is something that fits the medium very well.
It's basically a comedy show with a phenomenal mixture of anime cutesy and mature topics. It's hard to describe properly
as it's kinda unique but it's hard describing why. It just works very well at being both funny and cute while not being in
your face or edgy about it. Don't expect a narrative though, it's quite the light watch, but it fits your preferences as it's
definitely a Seinen and a non-romance fantasy comedy. I personally love it but it's humor doesn't work for everyone.
Still, if I could only recommend you one thing, it'd definitely be this. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: 21st of September, 2O2O End date: 22nd of September, 2O2O
Before anything else, I wanna say I really wanted to watch this anime from the beginning, but couldn't bring
myself to sit down & watch it. But OH WELL. This seems like a fever dream I could have. It was... well, something.
An anime. I thought it would be something similar to "Happy Sugar Life", looking "cute", but then BANG, fucking
morbid. But it was just. Weird. I'm very confused of what was the plot(???) Had high expectation for this one, but
well, I'm kinda disappointed... Or maybe I'm disappointed, because I was anticipating horror & gruesome stuff(???)
It was anime. And I watched it. Bonus: I fell asleep two (2) times.
โFlip Flappersโ
I was hesitant on whether to include this anime or no, but I'll recommend it nonetheless. This surely is not a great anime,
but it's fun. It has a fun presentation and fun action scenes. I wish it wasn't so fanservice-y at times, it doesn't ruin it,
but like, if they just didn't do that, I'd like it so much more. Still, I had fun watching it so I'll recommend it. It's presentation
is very fun and I wish more anime looked like this. But it's probably the worst of these IMO, more of a guilty pleasure than
anything. But did I tell you it's fun already? :p โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: 23rd of September, 2O2O End date: 24th of September, 2O2O
You read my dislikes, right? And saw that I really dislike mahou shoujo, right? transformations and shit? Then I see
your recommend and imma like, why would they recommend it? it has magical stuff??? Like come on. and i watch it.
and I REALLY like it. What is even wrong with me? I thought this would be something similar to Poputepipikku
& had low hopes for it, and it got me invested!!! Loved the color palettes used, idk what it's called, but dayum, i
loved the fluidity of art. I'm going to try and find more anime with similar art style. I also really liked Papika,
despite the fact that i really don't like happy-go-lucky characters, they don't sit right with me. First two episodes
seemed just fine, but then i really liked the more it advanced! I liked similar to isekai stuff too. Not a fan of full
isekai (where MC dies/gets entirely transported to different universe & doesn't come back to real world). You
managed to pick out stuff from my dislikes, give me anime with almost everything I don't like and I legit
enjoyed watching it~ Tho i have one complaint: i really wished Cocona & Papika would kiss (:p), but after
finishing it, kinda feels weird, given the circumstances & background of Papika... believe me, score 7 for
any anime has green light everywhere, it means i really liked it & didn't force myself to watch it!
Not watching these shows now, solely because:
♦ Dennou Coil - need to mentally prepare myself for longer anime, because I cannot focus,
unless anime is very fast-paced and/or 1-cour;
♦ Haikyuu - Oh boi, i'm ready to feel very stong bromance/pseudo bl, but it's sports anime &
i watch these on my own terms (most of the time);
♦ Serial Experiments Lain - everyone talks about how hard this was to understand for them &
even you mentioned it, so I'll prepare mentally for this too..!
Dennou Coil
It's a kids show, but I think it's still quite mature (ignoring poop jokes etc) and has a strong narrative. It's really tense at
times and I genuinely had nightmares from it (and I watched it as an adult...). It's by no means fast-paced or exciting,
but when it works, it works really well. It has some awful filler though but underrated anime in my opinion, not a must-
watch but still worth watching. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: tba End date: tba
Haikyuu!!
It has yaoi ships... okay I'm joking. I'd still love it without that (really, it has next to no romance) as it has such
a great cast, all the characters are lovely and left a strong impression on me, and it's one of the few sports
anime I've seen where I genuinely honestly root for the main characters because I like them so much. Fun
characters, fun dynamics, lots of excitement, this is one of the, if not THE sports anime to watch (that
doesn't go for something vastly different). โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: tba End date: tba
Serial Experiments Lain
It's been so long since I watched this but this one has stuck with me like forever. Prophetic about the
age of the internet. Yes, it does not have a super exciting narrative, it can be a bit complex at times,
but I don't think any of those makes it less... home-hitting (is that a word? :p). It can hit a weird
balance of being too heavy and too slow. I do think it's one of the best of that type of anime though,
since it's atmospheric presentation makes it more entertaining than some similar anime. It's atmospheric,
moody, and it at least made me think about it at times, even years after I watched it. Also lovely retro vibes~ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Start date: tba End date: tba
