Usually, we'd go out and travel, see family and stuff. But, you know, we can't exactly do that. So this year, we just made some food and watched the parade. That apparently still happened. And I'd just like to say, @Geano, you're probably right, sadly...

SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF MADOKA MAGICA. I don't have too many thoughts on Death Note, other than it's [bad wurd alurd] awesome, but I've got some stuff to say about Madoka Magica. Most of it deals with the psychological element of it. Let me elaborate. Madoka Magica's plot is this, sourced from Wikipedia on its page here. If you just want to read the plot, here it is. This is not my own work. This is copied from the Wikipedia page that is linked here. In the fictional city of Mitakihara, Japan, a middle school student named Madoka Kaname and her friend Sayaka Miki encounter a small, cat-like creature named Kyubey. It offers a contract in which a girl may have any wish granted in exchange for obtaining magical powers and being tasked with fighting witches. Meanwhile, a transfer student and magical girl named Homura Akemi tries to stop Madoka from making the contract with Kyubey. Madoka and Sayaka then meet Mami Tomoe, an upperclassman at the same school who is also a magical girl. Noticing their indecisiveness on whether to become a magical girl, Mami offers to take Madoka and Sayaka along on her witch hunts so they may learn of the responsibilities that come with being a magical girl.[4] However, after witnessing Mami's death at the hands of a witch, Madoka realizes the life of a magical girl is filled with danger, anguish, and suffering.[5] This is further enforced by the appearance of Kyoko Sakura, a veteran magical girl whose wish indirectly caused the death of her family. Madoka also discovers magical girls give up their souls to form their Soul Gems, the source of their magic, and that when Soul Gems become too tainted with despair, magical girls change into witches. Sayaka decides to become a magical girl after learning that doing so would allow her to heal a young musician who she admires. However, her classmate Hitomi Shizuki confesses to him first, causing Sayaka to become disillusioned and fall into an inescapable despair that turns her into a witch.[6] Kyubey reveals to Madoka that he is of an alien race that has been harvesting the emotions of magical girls for centuries to use as energy to counteract the spread of entropy, and thus stave off the heat death of the universe. Madoka also learns that Homura is a magical girl from a different timeline who has repeated the same month countless times to try to save Madoka from a grisly fate. Madoka and Kyoko attempt to reverse Sayaka's transformation, but the plan fails and Kyoko is forced to sacrifice herself to allow Madoka to escape, leaving Homura as the only remaining magical girl. Following this, an extremely powerful witch known as Walpurgisnacht approaches the city. Homura attempts to stop it, but is defeated. She prepares to rewind time to repeat the month again, but Madoka stops her. With the past month's events in mind, Madoka decides to become a magical girl and makes a wish to stop the creation of all witches in the past, present, and future. The scope of this wish rewrites history and the laws of the universe, and her existence as a human is erased from time. She transcends into a cosmic phenomenon called "The Law of Cycles", which appears to all magical girls at the moment before they become witches and rescues them by taking them to a heavenly paradise. A new reality, in which Homura is the only one who remembers Madoka, is formed.[7] Homura vows to continue fighting in honor of Madoka. It seems like a cute anime at first, right? A young girl wants to fight witches with another girl to... save the world? Something like that. So where's the psychological elemet? Well, let's quote something here. Again, this is from the Wikipedia article.' "Madoka realises the life of a magical girl is filled with danger, anguish, and suffering". Now, I haven't watched this in a while, but I can tell you that throughout Madoka's journey... it is. Witches are relentless and whatnot. But along with that, there's Homura. The secondary protagonist. Until near the end of the anime, we don't really know too much about Homura. Though, as Madoka Magica slowly began to end, we saw more of Homura. We kept seeing... visions or alternate dimensions, I believe, of Homura constantly seeing Madoka, spoilers, dying. Well, that's all I've got since I don't know too much about it since I haven't watched this in a while. AGAIN, THE PLOT IS COPIED FROM THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE. IT IS NOT MINE. Anyways, what are your thoughts on your favourite anime?

The next episode of The Irregular at Magic Highschool: Visitor Arc is coming out soon, and I still have to finish the other episodes + the last episode of the first season... News for the next episode is here.

Go to school (virtually), eat lunch, play some Terraria or something, then fall asleep. Pretty boring, huh? I'm obviously kidding. This isn't my entire life. I do more than just do that over and over again... Here's what I do. My alarm is set for 6:05. I wake up after about... 3 minutes, so that's at 6:08. Then I quite literally faint back onto my bed and fall back asleep until 8:00. I don't know what it is, but I always feel... extraordinarily tired. Exhausted. I don't know if I have [bad virus name here] or if it's my anemia. Either way, that's not what y'all are here for. Y'all want to hear my life story. Anyways... After I wake up, I have to restart my computer once or twice because the internet doesn't like me very much. After I do that, I go onto Google Meet, go to my class website, and enter the class. Now, my first class is either ELA or Science. I absolutely love ELA. There, we get to... type a lot. Write a lot of things. You know, things people like doing... kind of. Partially. So, I do my ELA stuff, then we go to our next class - Theatre or Gym. Now, let me tell you about theatre. Theatre is the best class. Nobody can convince me otherwise. Improv, uh... talking... working in groups... We're, uh, doing Jack and the Beanstalk... yeah... that's fun... I can do good voice acting, I mean. If sounding like L sounds counts as voice acting. Anyways... I'll probably continue this... later...

Death Noter.

Biased opinion... But it's the greatest anime of all time, in my opinion. Maybe not that much, but it's one of the greatest, that's for sure. The psychological element just works so well, the clash between L and Light... It kind of drops off when Near takes over, though...

Easy. Boarding School Juliet. The anime has about 12 episodes, so there's already a downside, IMO. Along with that, it seems (literally) too bright, and I mean physically. It also seemed a bit rushed.

Good choices! I've seen Cowboy Bebop, but not the others... Heard of them, though. Good choices! I've seen Cowboy Bebop, but not the others... Heard of them, though.

This isn't just for all of you to share what anime you like - I also need suggestions too. So, share your favourite anime, and maybe I'll watch it too x
