If I’m being honest, I thought Witch Hat Atelier was a little overrated this season and I never really found myself liking the characters that much (other than Qifrey). However the production quality was undoubtedly amazing throughout and the season finale was great too!
If you had told me a couple years ago that I’d end up watching an anime about horse girl racing, I would’ve laughed at you… but Cinderella Gray was lowkey tough! (I will not be watching Pretty Derby) #umamusme
#ONEPIECE1163 is one of the best episodes I have ever had the privilege of watching… just truly special. I will never shut up about this series for as long as I’m alive. There is no other show that can make you feel these kind of emotions… I am simply lost for words🥹💔
