one of the best shows ever not even kidding i DONT wanna hear it refusing to watch anime is such loser behavior and you are only denying yourself the privilege of watching one the most affective and intense stories ever told

📺So the difference between yuri on ice and attack on titan is pretty vast, so I'll give some reqs and also why I'm req'ing them:
Mob Psycho 100 [genre: weird]: don't get put off by the artstyle, the animation is fantastic and the characters are very very likeable. Go in blind! You won't regret it. Has little to no fanservice.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann [genre: mecha]: Ever wondered what was up with big robots? This anime has big robots. They get so big you won't even believe it. The animation is incredibly..bouncy. Fanservice/unnecessary nudity-level medium.
Kill La Kill [genre: magical girl? nudity?]: if you liked Gurren Lagann but wants more magical girls and less clothes. This one is incredibly weird in ways only anime can be. Fanservice-level extremely high but it makes a weird amount of sense within the story, I just...yeah. I have warned you.
One Punch Man [genre: superhero/shonen]: The first season is a very funny take on the superhero genre and supremely entertaining. I skipped the following seasons, you do what you want! :D Fanservice low!
The Apothecary Diaries [genre: mystery/romance]: A mystery / romance set in the court of the chinese emperor's concubines. Honestly it's mostly a medical mystery show and I thought it was very well crafted! The main character is excellent.
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood [genre: adventure/shonen]: This is a longer show but it's about two brothers who know alchemy and their..alchemical adventures. It's just really good!

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.

the only reasons i keep my facebook account are for my facebook-loving boomer mother and for the absolute treasure trove that is facebook marketplace, specifically in nyc. amid the most gorgeous guitars, the antique furniture, and the reupholstered cushions, you will also find the wildest items and unhinged seller descriptions. it’s the best thing in the world. i torture myself on a regular basis looking at the stuff on there and you can too 🫶

the flowering orchard/vincent van gogh/1888
when i was in college for (tw) musical theatre we were given an assignment to go to the met and sit with a painting we liked for 20 minutes. no distractions, just you looking at the painting for a full 20. it was supposed to be an exercise in attentiveness and spatial awareness, in noticing your thoughts and letting them pass. very meditative and honestly a wonderful experience to give to an acting student. except i was 19, insufferable, and genuinely considering the possibility that i was having a spiritual heart-to-heart with the long dead painter vincent van gogh.
I remember choosing this painting because of the brown streaks across the branches; they looked harsh, quickly slashed with the brush that carefully painted other parts of the piece. i wondered if they were intentional. i wondered if anyone else thought that they weren’t. i wondered and wondered and wondered until i began to feel as though i knew exactly what those slash marks were, why they were there, how they had come to be. I couldn’t tell you now, though.
i took this crooked picture and left the room. I don’t remember what vincent and i spoke about, but i’ve now stood before countless other paintings and spoken to their artists, too. i’ve learned that this mediumship isn’t esp, it’s art, and it’s actually the whole point. lmk what vinny says to you if you visit him 🫶

ppl talk a lot about avoiding the news to focus on self-care and there is merit to that for sure cuz we're not meant to see all these horrors so much all the time. but lately i've been thinking about how essential and cathartic it is to protest in small and big ways. to say with our full chest that actually things ARE fucked up rn. activism honors our humanity in a way that is deeply transformative. feeling all the grief and anger--and doing something with it--means we're not cut off from ourselves or our fellow earthlings. it's so healing to live in line with our values!!!!
