My reviews:
Here you can read my very unimportant small comments on the things I want to talk about but have no one to talk about to.
I will just add things I've just watched, read, played, or whatever, so many things I like will be missing unless I rewatch them (I will add a rewatch tag "↺" in that case).
Hover over whatever you want to display my thoughts on it :)
⚠️ ⚠️ Be careful with what you read, spoilers may lie ahead!! ⚠️ ⚠️ (I'll try to be vague though).

I don't know why, but I love these kinds of stories in which the main character starts having new friends and they all have fun together after having been alone for a long time. They feel full of hope.
Also I really liked the gender bend dynamic. It was really cute seeing Mahiro start feeling more and more confortable with her (his?) feminine side.
Over all it was a really enjoyable watch. You can feel the studio's passion on each chapter (maybe too much booba tho).

The novel starts really strong. The premise makes you ask a ton of questions, and the presentation is super mysterious, especially with that eye looking at you.
It has great ideas and some strong routes, but in the end some things felt unresolved, and some scenes are just bad.
Either way, it was a good read, and most of its flaws are just what you'd expect from a first work.

Really short visual novel about an unemployed girl who gets a job to buy an expensive anime figure.
Pretty short story but really charming. The visual presentation is so cool (the art is literally made in MS Paint lol), and there were some cool music tracks too.
It's a cute little vn for anyone that likes magical girls.

I had a lot of fun reading this manga. It's a slice of life story centered around otaku culture. The character chemistry is great, I enjoyed reading their back-and-forth conversations a lot.
I liked how it talks about accepting yourself and eachother. I also really liked the way the series handles romantic relationships, they feel so natural.
I know there's a second part to this manga, but it's been a while since I was this sad about finishing a story and leaving the characters behind...

Yuri please don't cry anymore, you'll break my heart...
Started watching on a whim because I tought the character design was cute. I was really surprised with the way it tells it's story, specially the dream scenes, they were so so good.
Kinda sad that the OVA doesn't adapt the full story, so I gess I'll read the manga.

Unsetling, but the atmosphere grabs you and doesn't let you look away. I'll probably have to read it again to fully grasp it. The backgrounds were great. Will be listening to some of the tracks.

Beautiful story about letting yourself depend on others.
A story filled with hope. Lots of lovable characters. The relationship between Rei and the Kawamoto family was super sweet. Got me interested in shogi.
Maybe in the future we will get a season 3...

Really cool to see the differences on style from these giant directors. Noriko is great at aura farming. Both of the endings were really special, glad I could experience this blind. The ost has some really majestic tracks.
