1. What was the best anime?
The best anime was, without a doubt, Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased).

This anime has already been given the title of "Best anime of 2016" and it aired in...
January?! XD
But honestly, as someone who watched it and enjoyed it very much, I can see that title holding out through the year :,)
The story follows Satoru who has an unexplained power called Revival which means he will randomly be sent several minutes back in time to try and stop accidents from happening. 
When his mother is murdered, Revival occurs again but this time it takes Satoru all the way back to 1988 when he was a child in Primary School. 
He realises that the murder of his mother may be related to the murders of children that happened while he was little and Kayo Hinazaki, who was also victim to this, is alive again and he uses this opportunity to make things right and stop the abductions and killings while protecting those he cares about in the future.

This really is such a great anime! *ω* if you are thinking about watching this and haven't, you definitely should! It's just.. ugH! BEYOND awesome!! ; v ;

[ my rating: 10/10 on MAL ]

2. What was the worst anime?
There are a couple I can think of...but I think the worst (ofc, in my opinion) was Ajin.

I was reluctant to watch this anime in the first place :,) ..in fact in the end, I was convinced to watch this purely because Mamoru Miyano voiced Nagai Kei and Yoshimasa Hosoya voiced Kaito who...actually hasn't been in the anime for several episodes now >. >
This anime follows Nagai Kei who is one of few people in the World who is an Ajin which means he has the ability to never die and can sort of...create a weird black creature?? I don't even know >^<;
Anyway! When he discovers this ability, Kaito is the only one who helps him avoid people who want to capture him for money or capture him to experiment on him. Basically this anime is about Kei struggling to deal with his life after his Ajin ability was discovered...

To me, this anime is just painfully dull and boring ;;; elements of it really don't make sense and the only good thing about this anime is the ending song because of Mamo-chan's beautiful voice ; ω ;
So...yea. I reeeeally don't recommend this anime ;<

[ my rating: 4/10 on MAL ]

3. What was your favourite anime?
My favourite anime was definitely Durarara!!x2 Ketsu!

Durarara!!x2 Ketsu is the final sequel in the Durarara!! series...
Sorry! But, give me a moment to cry for a bit ;;;
I was so excited to see this finale, but so sad about it ending! D; 
..two very conflicting feelings, huh? :,)
So by this point in the story, things in Ikebukuro are in complete and total chaos! XD 
Celty's in trouble, Shinra's in trouble, Anri's in trouble, Kida's in trouble, Ryugamine's in trouble, Shizou's in trouble, Izaya's in trouble, Dotachin's still in trouble-- 
Basically, everyone is in trouble :,D 
And it somehow all gets put right in the end... Well, as right as things can be in Ikebukuro :,)

Durarara!! is my favourite anime series EVER! (´∀｀)♡
And even though I really was sad about it ending, this really was SUCH a awesome way to end it! *ω* each episode was so exciting and when one ended, I wanted the next one immediately! >O<
I'm going to miss these insane characters with everything I have ;;; 
So...I think it's time I rewatch this series right this second, huh? XD

[ my rating: 10/10 on MAL ]

4. What was your favourite OP. song?
This was really hard to answer, actually :,)
I can think of a couple I really love...but I'm still drawn to the most amazing one! ;D
So the answer is Genesis (Dimension W).

Genesis - Dimension W OP.

Literally the second I heard this song...I was hooked! (✧∀✧)
Before I'd start the episode, I'd listen to it a billion times and even after the episode finished, I'd listen to it another billion times :,) I still listen to it NOW! Like, all the time! ; ω ;
This song is a drug, not even kidding! *O*

ALSO! Do you know HOW FREAKING BADLY I wanna see OnoD (Daisuke Ono who voices Kyouma (main character)) to do Kyouma's little funky dance in the OP.?! ;A;
When will that day happen?!?! DX

5. What was your favourite ED. song?
This was a fairly easy question to answer EVEN THOUGH the song I'm about to say took me a long time to realise how awesome is was X,DD
Be My Steady (Prince of Stride: Alternative).

Be My Steady - Prince of Stride: Alternative ED.

Idk WHY it took me so long to love this song, but I really do love it now! *ω*
It's so cool and ASDFGHJKL and stuff! ♡
I also reeeeally want the Prince of Stride otome game to get a translated version! I want that MORE THAN ANYTHING right now! ;O;

6. Who was your favourite character?
This took me a while to think of someone, but once I thought of the character...it seemed like such an OBVIOUS answer! ^ω^
I'm choosing Shirayuki (Akagami no Shirayuki-hime 2nd Season).

Shirayuki is such a lovely girl ; v ;
For once thing, she's beautiful! ♡ it's no wonder Zen loves her too! ;3
But she's also one of the most genuine female characters I've ever seen! ^O^ she's really sweet, kind, bright, determined, she can speak her own mind with ease and she is very caring towards other people /).(\ She's also a herbalist, so she's knowledgeable about medicine! 
..what else do you need in a girl?! X,3
Her and Zen also make the most adorable couple EVER! <3

7. Who was your least favourite character?
When I started thinking about this question, the answer came to me almost straight away! O:
I'm going with Kei Nagai (Ajin).

At first, I really pitied him ;;; ..in a way, I guess I still do?? 
But more than that, he just really pisses me off now >^<;
At the beginning, yea, I admit I really felt bad for him ;< it's not his fault he's an Ajin, after all! And during all that awful torture scene, I just wanted to run in and save him! ;A;
But now?
He's horrible, cruel, emotionally detached and just hella bratty! >. >
I can understand why that maybe the torture caused him to behave this way, but still! I really don't like how he has changed to the way he is ;;; I mean, another Ajin seeks him out because Satou (I won't even go there) planned to do this crazy shit and this guy wanted to stop him. But Kei completely ignored him (even after seeing for himself what Satou is capable of), poisoned his food and he's now keeping him trapped in an abandoned lorry?
Hey dude, like what the fuck?! > <;
I just hate him :,)

So that was my Winter Anime Tag!
I know I was kind of early with this since a few series haven't finished yet, but I had answers to everything, so I thought I'd do the tag now :,3

I hope you enjoyed reading and if you're interested, here is a link to my MAL account :3

Thank you for reading and have a great day! n.n

BYESIES~! c:
                         xoxo~

A little bloggy thingy :3

Yahalloooo~

I was just sitting here thinking..
 "I want to write, write, wriiiite!" so I decided to write a blog!
...cool story, bro! ^^"

So anyway! :3
A few minutes ago-- actually, more like over an hour ago now, I finished Nagi no Asukara which is an anime series that I have wanted to watch for such a long time now ;;;
I don't know why it took me so long to start it...I think maybe because I was watching 30 currently airing series at the moment and didn't want to add to that EVEN THOUGH I finished Nagi no Asukara within four days :,) ..whoops! ^^;
This anime was amazing, though! ♡ I rated it a 9/10 on MAL and I will tell you why I didn't give it a 10, so... 

-- beware of spoilers! >ω< --

...we know Hikari x Manaka and Tsumugu x Chisaki?

Something that bothered me was at the start of the anime, it was greatly hinted that Manaka had feelings for Tsumugu and also that Tsumugu had feelings for Manaka. But every now and then, Chisaki would have little moments with Tsumugu even though she was in love with Hikari and Kaname was in love with...her...wait, hang on!

Hikari loves Manaka

Kaname loves Chisaki

Chisaki loves Hikari

Tsumugu loves Chisaki

Manaka ??? Tsumugu

Tsumugu ??? Manaka

Manaka ??? Hikari

There. Maybe that helps a bit?

By the way, I used ??? even though there is more than that, but if I was to go into that explanation, this blog would never end :,)

ANYWAY!

Blah, blah, blah.. So basically everyone loves everyone! X,D

And after the five year time skip, Chisaki was living with Tsumugu because Kaname, Hikari and Manaka had fallen into the ocean and ended up hibernating with everyone else in Shioshishio. During these five years, Tsumugu and Chisaki had fallen in love with each other (though neither of them really knew that) and it just bothered me SO much because I had in my head Tsumugu x Manaka, so when this started, I was like WHAAAAAAAAAT?! >. >

When it became clear that Hikari was in love with Manaka, I thought..

 "Oh, okay! So I bet Kaname will be there for Chisaki and they'll be together.."

But nooooooooope! Tsu-mug-u.. >^<;

But by the end of the series, I found it easier to accept Chisaki and Tsumugu.

Maybe because his confession to her was so sweet and lovely and also the flashbacks over their years together really just...ugh, yea. Got to me ;ω;

Although I really did feel so bad for Kaname </3 my precious little Kaname.. He pains me SO much! ;;; Especially when Sayu-chan (another character) confessed to him, he started crying and saying that he didn't think anyone would be waiting for him while he was hibernating.. 

Holy HELL, I was literally sobbing like a baby! TT____TT

Now about Hikari and Manaka :,3 even before the time skip, it was easy to see Hikari's feelings towards Manaka (..I mean, his confession and him hugging her was a pretty big giveaway!) so I couldn't wait to see more cute moments between them once they came out of hibernation... Which is why I was pretty sad when it was revealed that Manaka could no longer love since that ability to had been taken from her, but I still loved watching Hikari try SO hard for her! Yes! They are perfect for each other! ♡

So...to sum up! XD

In the end, I was happy with Chisaki x Tsumugu and Manaka x Hikari *ω*

..though I would have really liked something more solid between them.. noo, not in a dirty way! >^<; 

I meant a more solid confirmation they were together :c

It would have been nice to see Manaka and Hikari holding hands instead of just sat looking at the sky and maybe have Tsumugu and Chisaki hug each other??? But nope. Pretty much every ship was left open to the interpretation of the viewer which I don't like >. > I like it when everything is closed up nice and properly :,)

So... ya' :3 that's why I rated it 9/10 instead of 10/10 c:

..I'm sorry that was probably VERY confusing to everyone who hasn't seen the anime series ^^"

OMG YES! *O*

Another super awesome amazing brilliant freaking COOL thing happened!!! *v*
