tobipa & anime

  this post does not go through www.working!! , the predecessor of the original manga of working!! , where it is set in another restaurant with the same name with completely different characters. it will be discussed in another individual post once i have completed it. this post, however, does contain spoilers of the later seasons of working!! . please read at your own discretion. main information: genre: slice of life, comedy, romance, workplace (restaurant) season: spring 2010 (s1), fall 2011 (s2), summer 2015 (s3) number of seasons & episodes: 3 seasons, 13 episodes each + 1 45-minute ending episode myanimelist / anilist   it's always fun to see a group of ensemble cast being in the same environment and see how well their chemistry goes. but for some reason, when the ensemble cast has members from both genders, they just HAVE to include some romance to one or more pairings. i guess this is also why i would avoid the romance genre unless the whole story goes around the...

  main information: genre: gag comedy, slice of life, cute girls doing cute things season: summer 2019 number of seasons & episodes: 1 season, 12 episodes myanimelist / anilist   this post contains light spoilers i am not necessarily a fan of the cute girls doing cute things (cgdct) genre, but it usually heavily depends on the content and theme of the show, as quite a number of them are simply showing "hey we just drew a bunch of cute girls because we can" that would get boring after a few episodes in my opinion. plus there is a whole manga magazine dedicated to this genre (manga time kirara), so honestly unless it has a really attractive premise then normally i would skip a cgdct show. wasteful days of high school girls gives me a refreshed feeling of how i feel about cgdct. i've already heard that this show is basically the female version of the 2012 daily lives of high school boys , as i pretty much enjoyed the former, so maybe i would like wasteful days of high ...

a full list of all anime aired in the fall 2022 season can be found here: https://www.livechart.me/fall-2022/all . introduction fall 2022 was... a really impressive season that will probably not be forgotten at least within 2023. a ton of big names in recent anime can be found in this season, and there were also some really unexpectedly good ones popping up from nowhere as well.  ever since i started following seasonal anime releases in spring 2022, starting from watching 10+ anime per season, somehow in fall 2022 the number increased to 21 lol... and there are also 7 of them that will continue air in winter 2023, so good luck to me, i guess. this post will only cover the ones that i have watched in the past season, so don't ask me "where tf is bleach?22?" because i didn't even watch the 300+ episodes before the thousand year blood war arc aired in fall 2022, or just anything that i did not list out in this post. THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS so please read them at your...

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...

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...

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...
