Favourite anime I suppose my taste is quite evident, hahah.
(#1 top-left; #15 bottom-right)
All volumes of THE BEST THING I'VE EVER READ!!!! Trauma healing with yuri + insane writing and lovable characters

Favourite characters Strangely - or mayhaps not - it consists of only female characters.
(not ranked per se)
Best girls If I needed to choose waifus, which sounds rather cringe, but ah well.
For some reason, they all have twin-tails... :P
Yurine Hanazono Rize Tedeza Kagami Hiiragi
Milestones I just wanted to note these milestones at some point. (Every 100 completed shows (OVA's, movies etc. too!) and 1.000 episodes)
Favourite OSTs Having been quite touched by these, I felt the need to share them. The ones below are not ranked.
Non Non Biyori - Hidamari Michi
It has so much emotional value to me, it's absurd. For example, the instance that the first chord movement is sounding (Cmaj7 to Fm), I'm instantly taken back to the world of Non Non Biyori - or any very laid-back show in the countryside for this matter - where everything seems so simple. The girls just living their lives and we, the viewers, are experiencing their daily antics - Nattsun being who she is, annoying her mom and having fun with her friends.
I've never had any siblings, but seeing the dynamic between Natsumi and Komari just feels so fun and heartwarming to watch.
Renge messing around, also sometimes playing her recorder (I also started playing that instrument when I was around her age (6) xD), and seeing the four main characters (Renge, Hotaru, Natsumi & Komari) just go about their days makes me feel very nostalgic - just me thinking back to how my own childhood was, and that I sometimes miss just living my life to have fun and play with friends.
I'm also glad that it helps people cheer up, make them feel a connection with the characters or even letting them "experience" a childhood they never had; thank you so much for your masterpiece, Atto-sensei. Everything about your show is absolutely, indisputably perfect and I believe that the setting and feeling of said show are being captured in this one OST on another level. also covered it myself a while ago :P link
Gakkou Gurashi - We Took Each Other's Hand
I heard this ED, and I instantly recognised it as a very soothing jazz ballad, and as an aspiring Jazz pianist, I just had to listen to it more and more and more and....
You get the gist.
It really gives a bittersweet feeling to the anime that is School-Live, where young high school girls just have to cope with loss and whatnot. It really touches my heart strings, the vocals especially. "I wanna be with you again".... Man.
K-On!! - U&I
Similar to a different HTT song, U&I is the first song I could play on bass. I used tabs, because I wasn't able to hear Mio's bass that clearly. Besides that, I also wasn't good at speed, so I barely could keep up when I started. Safe to say that my fingering has become very stable over time, but I sometimes hear a nail hitting a string (I keep them short too ;-;).
Anyways, the lyrics in this song hit different and although the chord progression and melody might not be that insane, they still struck a chord within my heart (ah, the cheese).
Moving on, I own a Fender jazz bass sunburst now (almost identical to the model Mio uses) and I feel great about playing along the song! Mio technically plays a '62 jazz bass from Fender Japan if I'm correct, but I couldn't find such a vintage bass. Keeping my fingers crossed, though!
But yeah, I'm also working on band covers at the time of writing, so I can fully cover U&I on my own.
Non Non Biyori - Natsuyasumi
I needn't say more than a couple things: when you listen to this song, think about fun and good memories; perhaps your childhood - playing with friends - or at least something nostalgia-inducing for this matter.
Then keep listening and imagine yourself reliving those memories. When the climax hits at 1:14, you'll definitely see why this one is so liked by many.
K-On! - My Love is a Stapler
I rewatched K-On and HTT performed this song in episode 8, and it really took me back. Back to the time where I still wasn't sure about slice of life; about the whole cgdct genre.
But oh well, K-On really changed me - for the better or for the worst, that's wholly subjective, but what I can say is that I really changed as a musician. My first song that I could play on guitar was "Yui's solo" derived from My Love is a Stapler and well K-On inspired me to pick up more instruments, lol.
Anyways, this song takes you on a ride right off the bat with its effective and melodic guitar riff at the start.
As Mio stated: "It's a difficult riff, but she [Yui] already mastered it.", even though Yui hadn't even played for more than a year. Even though it's an anime, it doesn't mean that one cannot do great things (music-related) if they do practise enough (and occasionally eat cakes on the side xD).
So yeah, such a great inspiration for me as a musician.
Favourite games Games I daily or very often play AND ENJOY - or just find very enjoyable.

based jar man !!!!! you are the king !!!! and damn i didn't know that you have watched 1k more anime , hope i reach 1 k someday . stay safe stay blessed . naughy
Hey Jarito. I tried to send you a message recently about a recent update of mine. This week, I at last made a Discord account. Would you like to be my friend on there. If it is yes, let me know your name and I will add you. 😺🌈
Yeah, don’t let my critique stop you from watching it. The anime is only 12 episodes long, and they go by pretty fast, so you’ll be done in no time.
Yeah, Sakamoto is the best. It’s pretty sad that the creator behind the manga passed away :( but at least she got to see another one of her works adapted into an anime before her passing. Migi & Dali has a heavier plot compared to Sakamoto, but it’s just as funny.
Now I’m even more tempted to watch DLHB, especially with the way you’re describing it for the second time. Plus, I saw that one clip where they were running late for school, and one of the boys had a full-on shawarma machine. That alone makes me want to check it out.
Haha, my bad, I guess I caught you by surprise. It’s true, I really like sex comedy anime. After watching Prison School it was just so funny with its mix of sex jokes and the ridiculous story. Now, I appreciate any manga or anime that doesn’t take the sexual aspect too seriously and just plays it off as a joke, but does it so well that it doesn’t feel half-assed. A few good ones with sex comedy elements are My Hobby is Weird, Virgin Empire, and Raw Hero, which is actually by the same creator as Prison School.
So true! As someone who watched and loved Panty & Stocking, I never expected another anime to come close to being borderline ero-anime like it, but Gushing Over Magical Girls really delivered.
My favorite character in Gushing Over Magical Girls? I really like Kiwi. She’s got this vibe where she just does whatever the fuck she wants . The way she dresses for school in her Adidas slides, how she gives off a slacker vibe but is actually good at her job, and her thing for Utena. Also, I love the way she talks all gangster in the anime.
What about you? Who’s your favorite character from the show? :)
You should definitely rewatch them ^w^ My favorite girl is nijimi, she's just so cute!! And yes I did read the manga but it's been a while and I don't remember about it much TwT I might read it again when I have enough time :3
oooh i need to get into 86. media exploring themes of fascism, war, depression, and survivors guilt told through the lens of a cute white haired anime girl? sign me up!
i've read the vns and watched the animes for both higurashi and umineko and trust me when i say the vns are literally light years ahead of the anime. goes way more in depth into everything, fleshes out the characters alot better and has so many crucial details that's cut out from the animes. i don't think ryukishi's thorough, meticulous writing can ever truly be captured through an anime adaptation unfortunately and can only really work in the medium of a visual novel.
aru and kayoko are indeed drop dead gorgeoust true true (especially in their fancy dress alts good god they look so mommy)
ty! yeah i'm open to pretty much any piece if media as long as it has good writing and endearing characters. like i'm usually not all that into mecha yet i think gurren lagann and eureka 7 are some of the greatest written works of fiction of all time.
my very first exposure to anime was actually hunter x hunter. i distinctly remember i caught my cousin watching it on animax and as soon as kurapika and chrollo showed up on screen i thought "omgg i've never seen a western cartoon character look this hot ever i have simply GOT to check this out" and well the rest is history lmfao
