I really enjoyed saekano, I pretty much have to finish off the movie, gutted that there won’t be a 3rd season. The others I haven’t watched. Pleasure to read Mia! 😀
they deserved the third season, tbh… thank you ❤️️❤️️❤️️
YW Mia 😀
It was a let down for me seeing Quintessential Quintuplets. I watched this series right after Fruits Basket (2019) the only good characters are Yotsuba, Ichika and Miku. It was slow pacing and that Ichiki came and dress like the mystery girl was also not explained why she did that and why Ichika never game back the photo to Fu. Don’t get me wrong the concept was good but this could have all fitted in one season instead of 2 seasons. I am gonna watch the movie nevertheless I hope it will a good one
