I love anime – the art, the music, the stories, the characters, the unexpected twist that surprise me. Anime can be fun, thought provoking, emotional, exciting, and take us on a journey. It’s amazing when I’m just watching an anime and it brings unexpected tears flowing down my face or catches my breath or makes me jump up from my couch because I’m upset or excited about what’s happening in the screen.

Anime can linger long after an episode or show is finished with thoughts of how good it was or still thinking about the meaning or hoping for another season. When the art is awesome and so good that it captures you, it sometimes leaves you speechless or thinking you need to watch it again. Then there are parts of the show that stay with you, like a bit of dialogue that was especially meaningful or the song that gets you in a watching mood, your foot tapping or has that line that just fits the show or the character or how you feel about it all.

Some of the things that stuck with me when watching a show or long after:
