News, reviews, and the hottest takes straight from the weeb trenches—no filter, no fluff, just pure otaku energy.So, if your watchlist is never-ending and your manga stack is threatening to bury you alive, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the NEET side of anime fandom—where the grind never stops (unless it’s for a seasonal binge).
