this blog post goes through the list on https://www.livechart.me/winter-2023/all . introduction after going through the amazing fall 2022, i.e. battle of all the big anime names in the current anime world, we are going to start 2023 by a full season of ...isekai. there's almost like 70 anime in total set to be aired in january 2023, and there are already 20+ of them are either isekai and/or narou-kei light novel adaptations. i was following 20+ new anime releases in fall 2022, that when i first looked at winter 2023 i thought i could take a bit of rest, yet after some counting there's still 20 of them that i find interesting? i can't believe in myself lol. btw i'm an anime only, so i usually only judge a work by looking at its pv and/or cast and decide if i want to give it a try. i will also avoid all sorts of spoilers so please pay attention to that as well. so let's jump into it. *this list does not count ongoing airing works from fall 2022 or before, only the one...

  main information: genre: cute boys doing cute things, slice of life, iyashi-kei (healing-vibe), light comedy season: fall 2011 (s1), spring 2012 (s2) number of seasons & episodes: 2 seasons, 13 episodes each myanimelist / anilist i have developed an obsession over the "cute boys doing cute things" genre in anime lately. i love rainbow days and play it cool, guys ( cool doji danshi ) after solely coming for the va cast of these 2, which then i asked for some similar recommendations that I got you and me . (i know a lot of people like daily life of highschool boys as well, while it was a fun watch to me, but i just didn't enjoy it as much as the 2 mentioned above)  you and me goes through the daily lives of 4 high school boys, twin brothers asaba yuuta (cv uchiyama kouki) & asaba yuuki (cv kimura ryouhei), as well as tsukahara kaname (cv ono yuuki) and matsuoka shun (cv toyonaga toshiyuki) who have been friends since kindergarten. one day, japanese-german ta...

WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us? (sukasuka)

in order to shorten the title and for the ease to read, this anime will be referred as sukasuka (one of the official shortened titles) in this blog post. main information: genre: post-apocalyptic, fanatsy, sci-fi, romance season: spring 2017 number of seasons & episodes: 1 season, 12 episodes myanimelist / anilist an anime with a big worldview always gets me hooked, with sukasuka being one of them. the most common comment surrounding this anime i've seen has to be "gives stomach aches", which i already did sort of expect to feel this way when i first dived into it, but damn, it hurts even more than i expected.   in sukasuka , we have our main guy, willem (cv. arai ryouhei), meeting chtholly (cv. tadokoro azusa) in a town on a floating island, walking around for nearly the whole first episode. willem was then assigned to take care of a weapon storehouse, yet he found out that it's full of children, and then he met chtholly again, knowing that's where she li...

an introduction

about this blog you can call me tobipa or toby. i started this blog because i found myself writing thoughts after completing an anime on my notes app, then i felt like sharing them on the internet as well. i am from hong kong, i speak chinese, cantonese (native), english and some japanese, and in most cases i watch my anime in chinese subtitles, as well as remembering japanese names in kanji instead of romaji. and no, i do not watch anime dubbed, neither in cantonese nor english. normally, i would only post when i have completed an anime. i also follow seasonal anime releases, so i would also post my predictions, interests and after thoughts for every season as well. feel free to follow me on myanimelist and/or anilist , where i update my anime progress on both sites almost every day. however, i only add anime to my plan to watch list on myanimelist. please also ignore the 80+ entries on that plan to watch list as well, as that's exactly why i made an account lol. me & anime i...
