Final discussion thread of the year! If you think back to this time last year, most of us probably had never even heard of Lemmy, so it has been an eventful one. Having a smaller, but active community has exposed me to a wider variety of series that I hadn’t checked out before, so I look forward to more in the new year!
As always, this is a general discussion thread. So, feel free to reminisce with me or post about all the new manga you got for the holidays or anything else!
Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).
I didn’t have a chance to read a lot of manga recently. On one hand I’m focused on personal project which means no time (and at times will) to look for new things, on the other almost all of the series I’m already invested in either update once every few months or not at all.
It’s a strange time but despite that I’m already more active than I ever was on reddit - that on itself isn’t particularly surprising as I wastly prefer smaller communities and tend to slip into background/lurking mode as things become more crowded but it’s a nice change of pace. It’s been years since I actively participated in online discussion (excluding like 3 anime rewatches on reddit).
I hope to catch up on manga and anime backlog next year as both grew quite a bit but we’ll see how it goes.
I’m not exactly sure what I was trying to write honestly. I’m kind of wiped after having to spend time with people on christmas and ended up ranting.
Happy holidays and new years and stuff, I guess?
This fall anime season I have been super busy with work projects and have really only had time to keep up with 2 shows regularly. Manga is a bit easier for me since I can usually knock out a chapter or two while I am waiting on something to finish at work (I work in a lab, so there are plenty of steps where I wait like 5-10 minutes). It’s been a few years since I last got to visit family for the holidays, but it can be utterly exhausting. I wish you the best of luck tackling the backlog next year. I know my to-read list has exploded in length since I started this community and people have posted tons of great series that I hadn’t checked out before.
