Jujutsu Kaisen ❣️

Rating: 9/10 🌟⁣

"Strength is built based on the accumulation of results. Either suffer the defeat or taste the victory. That is how we grow. Results are important since they are physical proof!"

- Aoi Todo 💪👌

๑ A masterpiece. UNIQUE story.

๑ JJK has strong characters. Even the villains are truly annoying because they are so skilled in combat. Unlike other shonen, the enemies are not easily defeated.

๑ Great animation. The fighting scenes are outstanding! No dull moments! Good music. Enjoyable and relatable characters.

๑ I prefer season 1. Though, I know you’ll understand the whole story and the background of other characters better when you watch season 2. I also like the movie.

๑ The creator is really something. They killed almost all of my favorite characters. Oh my! It's frustrating. lol

๑ It really left me hanging. I was just left speechless at the end of season 2, even though I was expecting it. I hope I can catch up with the manga adaptation.

๑ WAITING for season 3, of course. Highly recommended!

⸙ Idly indulging in baseless paranormal activities with the Occult Club, high schooler Yuuji Itadori spends his days at either the clubroom or the hospital, where he visits his bedridden grandfather. However, this leisurely lifestyle soon takes a turn for the strange when he unknowingly encounters a cursed item.

⸙ Triggering a chain of supernatural occurrences, Yuuji finds himself suddenly thrust into the world of Curses—dreadful beings formed from human malice and negativity—after swallowing the said item, revealed to be a finger belonging to the demon Sukuna Ryoumen, the King of Curses.

⸙ Yuuji experiences first-hand the threat these Curses pose to society as he discovers his own newfound powers. Introduced to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, he begins to walk down a path from which he cannot return—the path of a Jujutsu sorcerer.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

⠀

Rating: 10/10 🌟⁣⠀

⁣⠀

"But we might meet again as long as we keep on our journey. Tracing down the empty railroad. Crying excessively, when I wanted to smile. Holding on to these memories, I want to keep vivid. After all, it'd be embarrassing when we meet again."⠀

⠀

- Himmel The Hero ✨⠀

⠀

๑ What a journey indeed.⠀

⠀

๑ At first, the story's buildup was really slow. That's why most of the people I know gave up immediately. They said there was no action. It was boring and received various negative reviews.⠀

⠀

๑ But how would you know if you don't give it a try? Fortunately, I didn't give up. Right from the first episode, I felt that I would really like this anime. And I wasn't disappointed.⠀

⠀

๑ The storyline and plot are excellent. There are so many interesting characters. There's also character development. And the animation is fantastic!⠀

⠀

๑ The ending leaves you hanging. Not in a negative way. It makes you seriously wonder if there's still hope to see them again. I hope... I hope there's a season 2. I also need to catch up on its manga. 😊⠀

⠀

๑ One of the best anime of 2024! Highly recommended! ♥️⠀

What You Are Looking For Is in the Library - Michiko Aoyama

What You Are Looking For Is in the Library - Michiko Aoyama

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 4/5 ✮

☙ Enticing, inspiring, and heartwarming.

☙ This book may be simple, but each story is very unique. You can relate to each character and event. At some point, it feels like you've experienced or are experiencing their situations too. And that's the beauty of this book. It's very realistic. There's also character development.

☙ You'll learn a lot from this book. Most of us nowadays seem unsure of what we want to do in life. Or simply, we're lost about what our next steps in life should be.

+Reality is cruel. For me, what I learned is that we all reach that point in life, right? Where do we belong? What should we do? Have you ever felt unsure about what to do with your life? Finally, live for the moment. It's okay to wait. But you have a place in this world. What's important is that even with small steps, you're making progress little by little. Your dreams will come true eventually. It's important not to stop trying and to continue dreaming. 😊

⌘ Story of five different people who lost their way in life and end up finding themselves in this special library where they meet Mrs. Komachi who helps them out in their life in ways they would not expect. 🍂

❦ Favorite qoute:

❝Life is one revelation after another. Things don’t always go to plan, no matter what your circumstances. But the flip side is all the unexpected, wonderful things that you could never have imagined happening. Ultimately it’s all for the best that many things don’t turn out the way we hoped. Try not to think of upset plans or schedules as personal failure or bad luck. If you can do that, then you can change, in your own self and in your life overall.❞

Only Yesterday (A Studio Ghibli Film)⁣⁣

Rating: 9/10⭒⁣

"𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙, 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬. 𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙, 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙙𝙖𝙮."⁣

⁣

⨾ The story is straightforward, and the romance is subtle. What I liked the most is what you learn about growing up. We all struggle in that aspect of our lives.⁣

⁣

⨾ The pressure faced by those in their mid-twenties or thirties is overwhelming. Where are you headed? Do you have plans for life? It's crucial to know what you truly want, not what society or others expect.⁣

⁣

⨾ I also liked the alternate retrospective of Taeko's past. The ending is beautiful too. These are the kind of simple stories that deeply resonate with your essence. I wish everyone had the chance to leave everything behind and live in the province. I hope it's as easy for everyone. The decision is incredibly brave.ü⁣

⁣

⨾ You learn a lot. As they say, if you couldn't do it today, there's always tomorrow. Highly recommended! 😊⁣

⁣

⨾ Rewatching Ghibli movies in 2024 sounds like a wonderful plan – they have timeless lessons. 💚⁣

LOST

There comes a time in a person's life when you feel lost. Events occur that you can't explain. It's the kind of moment when all your beliefs seem to slip away. Losing a loved one is painful, an unparalleled grief. It could be a beloved family member or a long-time pet. How should one face such trials?⁣

⁣

We often question God, WHY? But at the beginning, there's no answer. Confusion and anger may set in. I feel a mix of emotions. The pain we feel can blind us. But they say it's only temporary. The question is, when will your suffering end? It's impossible to forget what you've lost. How do you move forward? How? It's tough when you're the one experiencing such a situation. It might be easy to tell others to move on, to continue because that's what should be done. Should it? Or is it because you have no other choice?⁣

⁣

For me, the strength comes from the people who remain in your life to fight for you. It's hard, yes. But what other choice do we have but to hope that everything will be okay again? If we don't believe in something good, what do we hold onto?⁣

⁣

You may not believe in God, you may not pray, or you may simply not care. But one thing I know, if we don't believe that the next chapters of our lives will be better, if you don't pray to the God you believe in, chances are you won't last either.⁣

⁣

Yes, it hurts, but there are still people around you who hope. You're not alone in this fight. Many people are still praying that your life will turn out okay.⁣

⁣

As long as you're breathing, there's hope. So, if you're going through a tough time or if a loved one is lost, go ahead, cry, brother. There's time for mourning. But after that, you need to get up again. Keep fighting through life's challenges. God says, 'I have a beautiful plan for your life. Believe and pray. I love you. I will use the pain you feel for the good of your life according to my plan and timing.'⁣

⁣

A tight hug for everyone struggling and going through severe trials. It's okay to feel all the pain, then fight again. It's okay to pause and rest. It's okay not to be okay. Remember, you're never alone in this battle. God is merciful. We'll get through this. We'll overcome.⁣

⁣

Thank you for reading. Until next time, brother. My prayer is that each of us will have a good life. God bless us all.

Play It Cool, Guys (Cool Doji Danshi)

Rating: 7/10 🌟⁣⁣

⁣⁣

๑ I adore this charming, heartwarming anime! The short 9-11 minute episodes leave me longing for more, but the cool yet awkward characters make each moment delightful.⁣

⁣

๑ Embracing new experiences and pursuing passions is a central theme, and the lovable characters make it an absolute joy.⁣

⁣

๑ Fingers crossed for a season 2 – highly recommended! 💙⁣

༻A bunch of cool guys who look like they got that unapproachable swag. But let's be real—that's not the true them.⁣

⁣

༻They're just a bunch of dorks who've got the act down pat. So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy watching a bunch of goofy guys try to look cool all day every day.⁣
