Hello, and some recommendations.

Heya! I may not be here much, but I figured I'd give a quick salutations to whoever comes across this. Name's Viridian, I like manga and anime, and I'm an idiot who likes getting into a lot of different interests, even if I don't finish or engage with them. If you're here from my profile, the song you're hearing is "Prettiest Star / Karma" from Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time (btw go watch Eva if you haven't already). I'll cap this off by recommending some manga and anime I've been watching recently.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War - A fantastic and hilarious romantic comedy (emphasis on comedy) that knows how to perfectly balance the various goofy, nonstop shenanigans with its equally heartfelt, uplifting emotional moments.


Slayers - One of the goofiest fantasy show I've ever seen. Focusing more on the lovable band of dipshit travelers than the world they wreak havoc one, this anime doesn't pull the breaks on its bombastic, off-the-wall comedy.


The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You - While on the surface this just sounds like another run of the mill harem story, I assure you there is more than meets the eye here. With how hilariously self-aware both the protagonist and the actual story are, you'd think its rather straightfoward premise would be a detriment to its characters or plot, but it actually strengthens them, giving way to both great moments of raunchy, "juvenile" comedy as well as surprisingly thoughtful and personal moments of affection.


Call of the Night - Hey, it's my avi! I haven't seen a vampire story this well-written and fun since Monogatari Morbius. A great, fun, and heart-wrenching look into finding your place in the world and learning how to love. #MORBIUSSWEEP


Witch Hat Atelier - I could make the obvious comparison here—Harry—but this manga does too many unique things in regards to its characters and world to justify putting it on the same level. A highly artistic work that gives the question of "tradition vs. change" more nuance and thought than you may see in other stories that tackle the same topic.

That's all I got for you now; I'll catch ya later!!
