when i say i can’t recommend this anime enough like it’s got so many silly little overpowered guys, it’s got platonic soulmateship, it’s got an epic story. comfort show/manga.
currently rewatching it for the first time since i was 15, and i cant believe I forgot how fun it is! i really appreciate the platonic soulmateship now that im older too,, gon and kil are just the best of friends
I mean, there's rough moments, but like most classic Shounen anime... the ultimate message is that the power of friendship will always come through. it's an especially good show for the specific purpose that it's about a thousand episodes (more, but some of that is filler)... and counting. So if you need background noise while you work from home, you can go on this wild ride where characters have ridiculous, silly super powers (like the guy who ate the fruit that turns him into a giraffe, or the guy whose sword ate the elephant-elephant fruit), and by the time you run out of episodes, you'll have a backlog of other stuff to watch. okay, that's not for everybody. but it got me through the pandemic nicely.
I guess I’ll share an actual recommendation? I recommend watching Tiger & Bunny if you’re into anime and/or superheroes!! I’m kind of super obsessed with it right now! My favorite heroes are Rock Bison, Sky High, and Fire Emblem!!
I think that walking through daily life, smell is an underappreciated and underutilized sense. Just as a beautiful sunset or bird song in the park can ignite a really pleasant feeling in us, so does getting a big breath of that humid air after a rainfall, or of a stranger’s heavy floral perfume, or the exhaust of an old passing car. once I was walking to class, really stressed and in my head about things, and just remembering that I have this whole other sensory facility to enjoy liberated me wonderfully from the internal spiral. it smelled like rainforest in vancouver that day, as it does today.
