Whenever I'm looking for a new anime I come to your blog and see what you're talking about bc it's always good and also bc I hate picking new shows to watch. So like you're basically my recommendation algorithm but better bc I know I'll be seeing it in my dash lol

when u were talking about golden kamuy I was like yeah I'll watch that and now it's bsd and I'm like... Should I give it another shot?? For the old man???

IM CRYING LSKJFSKJFD if there's one thing about me babe it's that i will be yammering about something at any given time. did you like golden kamuy? i still think everyone should watch it. it's sooooo gooooooood and it's a hot dude buffet, a win win.

so i have told a couple people that i didn't like bsd or wasn't like fully invested until season 2. season 1 was fine but i was stilll sort of on the fence even past episode 5 or so but season 2 is where it really picks up and it only gets better from there. i say give it a shot!

Hi, hope you’re having a great day! I want to ask if you have any anime/manga rec? I haven’t watched any for years, but your blog made me nostalgic

hi anon!!

i definitely do!! i mean, im not sure what you’re into so ill give you a great long list with lot’s of different options!!! this will mostly be anime but at the end ill include a few manga. i tend to watch anime vs read manga. 

violent/horror/gore/supernatural (& i mean it. skip this first set if you cant handle gore or graphic content)

berserk. both the 90s / new remake are great. there’s also movies that go through the entire story arc. but this one is VERY dark & very graphic. 

attack on titan. AMAZING. 

goblin slayer. so fucking good. 10/10. still waiting on the next season.

blood+ great story with a great love story. 

elfen lied. creepy and fantastic. 

another. i dont think this one was as graphic, but creepy. i havent seen it in a while though so i could be wrong. 

re:zero. a thriller sort of anime with some graphic content. 

boku dake ga inai machi / erased. HOLY SHIT SO GOOD. main character can reset 7min before accidents happen & he sets out to find out what happens to a childhood friend. 

higurashi no naku koro ni kai. cute killer girls. kind of dated, but still worth the watch. has amazing music. 

kiseijuu sei no kakuritsu 

slice of life / chances are it will destroy your life & make you cry 

 koe no katachi / a silent voice. it’s about bullying & the aftermath of it.

kimi no na wa / your name. this one is a movie. boy and girl wake up in each other’s bodies.

ao haru ride. SOOOOOOO GOOD HOLY SHIT. incredible love story. incredible characters. fantastic all around

ano hi mita hana no namae wo bokutachi wa mada shiranai. be prepared to cry many tears. a story about friendship & ghosts. 

your lie in april. i wasn’t okay for hours after finishing this one. truly a beautiful story. also, lots of tears. 

5 centimeters per second. story of friends who are forced apart due to family moves. fantastic. 

kimi no suizou wo tabetai / i want to eat your pancreas. MANY TEARS, SOOO GOOOOOOOOD. also a movie. 

nagi no asu kara. beautiful animation, wonderful story. about people who live under the sea and on land. 

fruits basket 2019 reboot. this is my first time enjoying this series. i love it. cute animation, awesome story. 

action anime (could have hints of violence but not like the first list)

akatsuki no yona / yona of the dawn. SO GOOD. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ONE IS. it only has one season, but the manga? read it if you enjoy the first season. it’s about a spoiled pampered princess & her forever loyal bodyguard + the loyal “dragons” that come to follow her. lots of action, romance, and amazing relationships between the entire cast of characters. 

seirei no moribito. female lead character protecting a royal boy. fantastic.

the rising of the shield hero SOOOOO GOOD. 

demon slayer. brother sets out to save his sister. it’s a nice story. great animation. 

fate / zero. lots of seasons + a movie or two. has a touch of history. 

sword art online. just the first two seasons. 

is it wrong to try and pick up girls in a dungeon? on the side. this one is the same story as  this one  just from another point of view. both are good. 

classic anime that everyone should watch just because 

sailor moon / sailor moon crystal. crystal has done through infinity arc & the dream arc is coming next fall. it follows the manga a lot closer than the 90s anime ever did and even if a lot of people didn’t like the animation, i loved it. especially for the second season / r arc. 

inuyasha. fantastic story, amazing love story. the characters are great. and despite being older, it doesnt feel dated. the final arc was fantastic & tugged at my heartstrings over and over again

trigun. i havent watched this one in YEARS but i always enjoyed it. probably a little dated by now.

yu yu hakusho. also a little dated, im here still hoping for a reboot someday. 

chobits. really cute!!

naruto shippuden. literally no reason to watch naruto (220 episodes lmao) because a quick google search would explain the story. just watch shippuden but for the love of god skip the filler  there’s also a bunch of movies. dont bother with boruto. also has amazing openings/endings. 

rurouni kenshin / samurai x. you can honestly jsut watch the movies. ESPECIALLY TRUST & BETRAYAL. that movie is one of my favorites. i actually rewatched this series… two summers ago? its held up well despite being older. 

avatar the last airbender. 

anything studio ghibli. 

manga 

sailor moon, the manga is so fucking good. ive read it so many times, it never gets old. it’s my favorite canon of the series. 

akatsuki no yona. i cant even with this manga. again, 10/10. its one of my favorites. if the first season of the manga interested you, watch it and continue the manga. it’s still ongoing. 

love so life. age difference romance. a high school student is the babysitter for two adorable twins that are being raised by their uncle. literally so good. 

faster than a kiss. another age difference romance. a teen girl and her baby brother are orphaned and eventually alone. her teacher takes them in. another amazing story. 

sorry this got kind of long, i hope you find something here you like!! let me know if you do!!!!

Takeaways from trailer

Here’s some thoughts and some ramblin’s on the latest trailer. (P.S., did you know that you can use . and , to go through frames on Youtube? I basically went through every frame cuz I’m a big dork). Take it with a grain of salt.

I was pretty unsure about Forky at first, but I’m kinda completely sold on him now. I dunno, just seeing him and #dadWoody interact together is actually pretty freaking adorable. (Also side note, I wonder if Forky is so important to Bonnie because she’s struggling making friends? There was nobody at her table when she was making Forky... Could be very wrong though) 

“Forky is the most important toy to Bonnie right now. We all have to make sure nothing happens to him.” Ohhhh Woody how far you’ve come. That’s what we call character development.

That bit with someone in the background with a blue shirt and Woody in the foreground? I’m thinking it’s Bonnie’s mom based on a similar blue shirt she’s wearing in another clip of the trailer

#dadWoody freaking out and literally jumping out of a moving vehicle is amazing lol

That scene between Woody and Forky walking at night is gonna be so funny, I can tell. Also existential questions. Woot.

I think there are three clips in the trailer showing Woody and Forky discovering Bo’s lamp, indicated by the light being cast by the lamp in a bunch of dots.

Gabby freaking Gabby. According to her new character description, she’s searching out a working voice box to be loved again, and of course, Woody’s got one. Just think about that for a second. aND OK IF THAT ISN’T THE FREAKIEST THING EVER, like just thinking about her trying to get his voice box is so creepy. Not to mention the dummies, which are brilliantly animated and tremendously freaky.

Many of the lines don’t match up to the scenes they’re paired with. Also when Woody shouts ‘BO!!!’ it sounds actually kinda heartbreaking, like it’s actually for a different part of the movie, but again, could totally be wrong there.

In one of the clips you can see Bo, Woody, and just a bit of Duke Caboom and Bunny and Ducky in the back, all in the antique shop I think...

The two clips from the alleged goodbye between Bo and Woody? Hoooooly cow, not only are they freaking beautifully lit and framed perfectly, but also SO SAD. I AM GOING TO DIe.

It’s still unclear what the rest of Bonnie’s toys are gonna be doing. Hopefully they’ll be out looking to find em’ just like Jessie suggests.

Bo’s base with the other toys seems to be under that pinball machine, or whatever it is.

HAT TUG. MY NEW FAVOrITE THING

BUZZ FALLING WITH STYLE YO.

The two callbacks to Andy were super interesting. Like reaffirming what Woody’s priorities have always been. (The new model looks really good btw)

Also that “I was made to help a child. I don’t remember it being this hard,” line is just freaking packed with emotion. Sooooo gooooooood.

Duke Caboom freaking performing a trick off the ferris wheel. I have a feeling I’m gonna like him a lot.

“Everything’s gonna be ok.” Bless you Forky.

So we didn’t see Bo’s sheep or combat Carl, and we saw very little of Ducky and Bunny. There’s a lot we still don’t know, but at least we finally got a full trailer!
