To the stray dogs

Like many, I grew up sporadically watching anime on TV (DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Pokemon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Naruto, Ranma 1/2).

The only anime I watched in my early teens was Attack on Titan (2014-), and FMAB renewed my love for anime in my late teens. I'd say I officially started my anime journey around late 2017.

I was on an anime hiatus (except for One Piece) during uni, BUT Hunter x Hunter got me back into anime this year (2025). Now I'm speed-running through some classics and newer anime that have come out since 2021ish.

• Favorite genres: Drama, mystery, adventure, psychological
• Scoring is based mainly on enjoyment, plot, and characters plus things like pacing, tone, and impact
• Favorite recently completed anime: Hunter x Hunter & Bungou Stray Dogs
• I've been reading more manga and LN this year. My priority and preferable medium is still anime
• I will go to war defending Sasuke who has been my favorite character since I was 7-8
• I kin Dazai
• I like anime and/or bl manga with queer characters where romance isn't the main focus (Tshd, No.6). What matters most is a strong PLOT and side characters I actually care about - recs will be appreciated
• I used to read the popular k-bls back in the day, but now I only really follow Wet Sand and Shutline. I prefer darker themes and again, a strong story outside the romance, especially ones with crime and psychological elements

It might take me a while to respond, but I'm always happy to talk about anime and in general (No minors, no inappropriate stuff).
I don't use discord, you can DM me on twitter, I'm more active there

That's completely fine, thank you for the heads up. Imma go ahead and DM you then!

Nw, am only on here occasionally as well.
Ahh those are such goated picks. EVA might be abstract but I think the payoff at the end is worth it :) Link Click is great for being a heartstring puller.
Happy watching w/ everything.
Admittedly I was a bit confused when season 2 diverged from the main cast. But seeing the back stories of certain characters made me really enjoy how they're being fleshed out and want to read their books. Big fan of Chuuya, Dazai, Oda, and Kunikida atm 🙏

Oh, it’s no problem, I’m getting busier too.
Hmm, really? Personally, I thought the arc was perfect in every way. We literally felt the same confusion the sorcerers felt at that moment, it was intentional, and I think it was done extremely well. I’d even say it’s one of the best shonen arcs I’ve ever seen.
Oh yeah? Personally, I loved the direction, and like I said, we’re seeing everything through Yuji’s eyes, we’re just as confused as he is at that moment. And after what happened to Nanami in the previous episode, that episode absolutely destroyed me haha.
Alright, I hope you’ll like season 3 a bit more, even though in my opinion,
, but hey, we’ll see.

❀ Hi elliexbx❀
Thank you for sending me a friend request!!!
How are you doing today? :3




That's so awesome how you watched and grew up watching anime (I only saw most of the pokemon movies as a kid and very little random episodes). You have watched plenty of bangers! :D
What animes are you looking forward to?
Gwynbleidd_Alan Dec 8, 2:58 PM
First up, don't worry about it! Life just gets busy for everyone for whatever reason. I am totally chill about getting responses so don't worry about it at all. Just get back to me eventually and I do not mind!

As for what you said after that, I want to make clear that I also did not mean to be dismissive or like hostile. I just wanted to make clear that I do not use my story to get sympathy or trying to make myself more interesting or whatever. I just thought it fit into the convo to try to make it more human. We can definitely talk in private messages if you want to share more. I am not someone that likes to push people to share, but if you want to I am not opposed to. I could also talk more in depth about my issues and examples I mentioned. So, entirely up to you, but I would be down.

I have actually had plenty of very insightful and interesting conversations with people here on MAL and made some solid friends, actually. So I totally get what you mean! I usually tend to be very shy to talk to people IRL because I am super introverted, but I love having convos with people on MAL. It is so nice to connect with people on a deeper level and bond over a shared passion/hobby in anime.

thanks for the fr ^-^
Lord_shadow11 Dec 2, 11:08 PM
I see what you mean, but the fights start getting interesting in the Shibuya arc, especially Sukuna’s fights, those are my favorites hehe. And don’t worry, Gojo is definitely the best-written character in the series. And no, there won’t be any more flashbacks about him, but rather explanations about who or rather what he represents… but that’s not in the anime yet, so you’re gonna enjoy it hehe.

Yeah, it’s him…

but actually, where exactly are you in the anime?

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. Had a lot on my plate lately. Just got back from an eye exam😂
_Fangg Dec 1, 10:38 AM
Would love to know what you think of them 😌
BSD is amazing so far, the literary references and the style is so unique
Gwynbleidd_Alan Dec 1, 3:38 AM
I appreciate the words. You don't have to be sorry about me! I didn't say it for sympathy or anything I just thought you would understand better what I mean by giving personal examples and connecting it to Aki as a whole. I generally like being open about my feelings because I feel that people can truly understand what I mean by being very personal. Many people such as yourself can also relate in many ways which I think makes a conversation on MAL more personal and close.

I feel really wronged by a lot of people in my past and I feel that in many ways life has treated me really unfairly. I used to be very religious in the past but I lost all of my faith when my entire life basically went to shit. There was no intervention, there was no one saying hey everything is going to be OK. I just suffered in silence and almost lost myself. And you know today I am feeling better but some other things just won't go away. Depression and Social anxiety still has a stronghold on me and I'm trying to get better, but you know, it's a slippery slope.

Life has not really been kind on me and I'm just trying to do my own thing.
_Fangg Nov 28, 3:10 PM
Thanks for the add, you've got great faves

Lord_shadow11 Nov 27, 12:56 PM
Haha, I get it. Gojo’s past arc is essential for what comes next, well, for Gojo’s development in particular. He’s definitely the best-written character in the whole series; his story and inner struggles are genuinely amazing.

Oh, and I like Kenjaku too, it’s just that there are two events later in the manga that made me… like him a bit less, but anyway.

You’re finally reaching the best arc: Shibuya. When you finish it, tell me what you think of it hehe.
Gwynbleidd_Alan Nov 25, 12:39 AM
Actually that's a very good way how you put it because you're absolutely right. And I guess in some ways I can also identify with this because a few years ago I was wronged pretty badly. I was hurt by the person I trusted the most and for a while I was also obsessed with this idea of revenge and somehow trying to get back to that person. But I've come to realize that the connections I have with the people that generally care about me is the most important thing. I lost many friends and I don't have many IRL friends anymore these days but the few I do have I would consider very important to me. I would also say that I am a kind soul without tooting my horn just too much. I guess that's why I feel so connected to him. He is just one of the few representations in anime where I could truly say they are very close to how I behave in real life.
Gwynbleidd_Alan Nov 22, 3:22 AM
I don't really knew what drew me in so much about the character, I just instantly felt a connection to him. He behaves in ways that I would too, and I feel very identified in how he acts.
