I relate to Anita so much

2024 Media

I only follow what my brain decides to show interest in and it's ways are inscrutable. I didn't read a lot of manga or watch much anime this year so I've excluded it from the lists. Instead I played a lot of video games, watched a lot of tv while playing video games, watched a lot of movies (many of them shitty, while playing video games), and read a metric shitton of mystery novels during multiple periods of insomnia.
