Corporate slave relatable character: Aoi Miyamori from SHIROBAKO. Her struggles in the anime industry resonate with workers in any field.
The feeling of watching "Made in Abyss" late at night—that mix of horror and the urge to keep watching... the charm of the abyss is just too strong.
A ten-year anime-watching diary is so heartfelt! This kind of persistence is more precious than any figure.
I've also had the painful experience of bumping into my display cabinet while binge-watching anime late at night... the sound of a figure hitting the floor is something I'll never forget.
Worst: The ending where the protagonist suddenly ends up with the second female lead with whom there was no interaction at all. I get so angry every time I see it.
If animators' working conditions improve, the quality of their work will definitely increase. Many of the rough animations we see nowadays are simply the result of rushing to meet deadlines.
My friend once bought a fake GSC Nendoroid. The disappointment the moment they opened the package was real.
Corporate slaves can't possibly keep up with thirty shows. I watch at most five or six per season, and I watch each one carefully. With limited time, you naturally have to be selective.
I recommend using Anki flashcards + anime as study materials. 30 minutes a day, and you'll see significant progress in half a year.
From a corporate slave's perspective: Summer is the best because you get time off to binge-watch anime. Chainsaw Man S2 + summer vacation = the perfect combination.
