Currently Watching & Reading - Winter 2025

Goodness, it's been a while since my last watching & reading post. I'll probably have to make a catch up post for all the seasons ^^" - as both a recommendation list and as a way for myself to keep track of things

Without further ado, here's what I'm watching and reading for the winter 2025 season!

Note 1: I love slice of life, fantasy and action/drama genres so most of these would fit into one of these categories

Swordtember - Day 1 & 2

I thought I'd share some swords I'm drawing as part of swordtember and prop design practice. (I'm following the prompt list by @/faithschaffer for the most part!)

Day 1 - Winged // Owls and swords are an absolute unit of a combination, at least in my opinion

Day 2 - Floral // I'm not sure if these are jasmine flowers (they sure do smell like one though) but my neighbors have these flowering vines all over their entrance and they looked pretty fun to draw

Currently Watching & Reading - Fall 2023

I get the occasional ask of what my current favorite series is or what I am reading/watching lately so I thought I'd make a post for it!

Since most media goes by seasons, I'll try making a post as each one comes around.

So here are all what I am watching and reading for the Fall 2023 season!

These are my favorites that I am watching and reading as of now :)

(note: I love slice of life, fantasy and action/drama genres so most of these would fit into one of these categories)

Also, an fyi, I tend to watch anime Japanese Dubbed with English Subtitles so I have no idea how things translate into another language/ if the vibes are different in other dubbed languages

These are the ones I find to be very enjoyable personally and would give an instant recommend, including previous seasons if applicable:

Little Shark's Outings/ Odekake Kozame -- okay, this is my hands down favorite of the whole summer 2023 anime round up and definitely one of my all time favorites; don't be fooled by the fact that it's a kid's show, for only at a minute and thirty-some seconds, this is pure soul-cleansing wholesomeness so I definitely, highly recommend it!!!

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today

Helck

Link Click - Season 2

All Saints Street - Season 4

A Journey Begins...

With the valor of the mighty trade winds

With a heart as peaceful as the autumn moon

Bless the journey of past, present and future

To be blazing bright and joyful

Like the fresh flowers that bloom after a plentiful monsoon
