"He always felt like he should say something to her, even if it was just hello or excuse me."

"It's not even like that, and thinking it made her want to cry, because she knew it was true."

"The only thing she didn't like to think about, about Park, was what he could possibly see in her."

"His voice was deeper than she'd ever realised, but sort of warm in the middle."

"She never felt like she belonged anywhere, except for when she was lying on her bed, pretending to be somewhere else."

"Park had the sort of face you'd painted because you didn't want history to forget it."

"And when eleanor smiled, something broke inside him. something always did."

"She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was nice supposed to make you feel something."

"His eyes missed her as much as the rest of him."

"It was because she was different - because she wasn't afraid to be. (or maybe she was just more afraid of being like everyone else.)"

"Eleanor was always seeing him in unexpected places. It was like their lives were overlapping lines, like they had their own gravity. Usually, that serendipity felt like the nicest thing the universe had ever done for her."

"He tried to remember how this had happened - how she went from someone he'd never met to the only one who mattered."

"What were the chances you'd ever meet someone like that? Someone you could love forever, someone who would forever love you back? And what did you do when that person was born half a world away?"

Review:
- as every teen love book lover, i'll admit that it was something worth reading. even though i thought the story was pretty cliche and i didn't exactly like eleanor's character, the romance part of park got me hooked. every time he says i love you my heart aches.

- it's definitely an interesting story that brings out on the ideals of most characters in love stories where two of the most claimed unattractive people fall in love with each other. it's a wonderful story that gives out an amazing message on how appearances don't matter when you truly love somebody. how people view you may be different to everyone else and that it's okay to embrace yourself for who you are.

- my favourite character was park. he was so selfless, brave and loving. i honestly don't think eleanor deserves him with all that mess she's putting him in ohmygod i really didn't like eleanor's character, i find her intolerable. and also about park's mom, i love her korean accent. very cute.

- i imagined park to look like evan ghang from buzzfeed. he fit the cute punk boy korean look. on the flip side, i couldn't put anyone's face on eleanor. she is definitely a special character. it's too bad that they aren't making a movie out of this. i wonder who would make a good eleanor.

// i'm not sure what i'm doing rn. i'm wandering.

personal input; my favourite romantic drama of all anime. first place next to kimi ni todoke. their romantic feelings were very youthful yet mature at the same time. does this make sense? i like romance that's more mature than just shy-shy-crush-crush-fall in love. very dramatic for sure.


personal input; season one was defo a great watch but season two was way too short :(. having the struggle for people to accept him for who he is was hard just bc he was born as satan's son and dem blue flames are so coooool.


personal input; iconic, gory and mesmerizing. i honestly thought it was too overrated and refused to watch it but i got so hooked since the first episode! it's that thrilling!


personal input; i love a good crime mystery anime and added with a twist of supernatural made it all the better. death note is a term that can be heard anywhere, that's how famous it is however it's disappointing how no one knows the true story behind that term so pls watch!




personal input; this is the true definition of high school puppy love. admiring your crush and having the miracle if he likes you back, this is the anime for that dream. whenever kazehaya blushes and covers his mouth is aaaaah kawaii <3


personal input; underrated anime i found when i couldn't get any new anime and i'm happy i stumbled upon this one. really gave me a life lesson on how we should treat people, whether through physical pain or emotional pain. we are all human. oh and can i say the anime art style is pure perfection.


personal input; this anime had me fvcked up in the head for several days. trigger warning; if you're a prude pls refrain from watching this. it's so wrong yet so true at the same time and it's true that sometimes the only thing we want out of love is just the feeling of security, regardless of it being anyone. idk about you but i like this anime, explains about today's society a lot.



personal input; tbh i liked the anime a lot more for its aesthetic than its actual story. the artist's anime drawing style and the colour correction on this was beautiful. want eye-pleasing anime? watch this.


personal input; i watched this anime bc my internet friend recommended it to me. it looked super innocent at first but ohmygod major plot twist. i expected it to be gory but not fvcked up. the end is worth watching for. you'll get soooo mindblown. very good!


personal input; laughed at all the twelve episodes. hilarious af. probably one of my favourites too! not only that its action-packed but it's funny. how do you make action funny? exactly.


personal input; sometimes when you screw up, don't you just want to travel back in time? it sounds like an amazing opportunity to do so, but is it really worth it? that's what this anime teaches you. if you're ready to face the struggle, no matter how deadly, just to change its outcome, you had to go through the pain all over again, your choice.


personal input; my elementary school animu. honestly not the type of anime you should watch if you're 15 or above cuz it's too cutesy and ridiculously innocent. with cute boy that dresses like cat. it's just nostalgia and holds sentimental value for me so i would watch it again.


personal input; if you're a beginner to anime and don't know what kind of genre to start with, i would recommend SAO. it almost includes all genres which is great and i just loved the concept of the idea of how gaming might evolve in the future. very iconic anime as well.


personal input; this anime is SO UNDERRATED IT DESERVES MORE LOVE. i found this anime through dan and phil and i love it. you would understand it if you were a music lover. the ending was such a twist! it's amazing how music can bring two people together.

xx.
ずっと (zutto) which means forever.
ほのか (honoka) which means harmony and flower.

and that concludes my list of recommended animu :)
anime may just look like a cartoon, but i wish people knew that anime is more than what it seems.

people like watching things in real life but with anime, you can picture the same humane things but with a touch of drawing magic. it contains just as good as the stories in any other movie, the same amount of feeling and excitement that you can watch. just because it isn't real-life-looking, doesn't mean that it's just a dumb cartoon that kids watch. don't you see that they're making movies with the concept of anime now? they're making the magic in anime come to life which is amazing. so if you don't watch anime, i think you're missing out.

// i am currently watching fullmetal alchemist:brotherhood which i heard is a great anime and it's about to be made into a real-life movie as well so i'll tell you if it's good when i get there!
// i've been obsessed with saying this japanese term: これわなんですか (what is this?). especially since dodie went to japan and learned it and it's just a cute word.
