It will be wierd for me this year. I just binged Medalist season 1, and Oshii No Ko seasons 1 and 2, and liked both way more than I thought I would, so for some reason, those are the two I'm craving the most right now. Something about a pitiful gloomy girl digging up earth worms build up her self esteem and athletic skills, and Aqua's grappling of ptsd in a world of brightly saturated girls hit a lot closer to home than I was expecting. But in way that I kinda needed. https://i.ani.me/0379/4065/128886988_p0_master1200.jpg Also, Episode 2 of Fate Strange Fake was well worth the wait. And damn it, I want to get back into Hells Paradise and that crazy ass world.

This song titled "Spiral" from Zero Divide 2: The Secret Wish... https://youtu.be/bv1HiLGy4X0?si=Vk-t9qfPt4_C9-OR ...sounds similar to "Summer Highland Falls" by Billy Joel. https://youtu.be/1tQKW9aquT0?si=dL2dNddDqv__AWCf

Woo! Brick City Anime Festival was a blast! Met lots of cool cosplayers and artists, some of whom are recurring friends, saw some interesting Q&As with voice actors, and got some holy grail autographs to add to my collection. Got items signed for some of my favorite series. Spice & Wolf, Shantae, Sonic the Hedgehog, Demon Slayer, and more. The Spice & Wolf items being most important. And a friend gave me an ambitious idea to enhance my Sanji cosplay. Any Floridians should absolutely check this place out.

@wei_ying My irl girlfriend lol. I just posted a picture of Aqua because my gf reminds me of a healer goddess and water has healing properties. Though Aqua pretty cool 2. I had a crush on Aqua but no character can do my baby justice she is the light in the dark.
