Happy New Year, everyone! I wish you all a wonderful day. Be safe, be well, and have fun! Here’s hoping 2025 will be a great year for everyone. Also, to anyone who lives in the U.S. like I do and is wary of the next four years, please know that you’re not alone and don’t ever be afraid to make your voice heard.
Thank you to everyone who supported my blog during 2024, be it leaving a like and/or a comment, following the blog or my social media accounts, or simply visiting the website. It means a lot to me. Like with 2023, 2024 was another yet of me rounding out the episode review backlog (albeit to a lesser extent). There’s still a few stragglers for me to cover and I feel I should vary up my output some more but I’m very satisfied with the progress made so far and I appreciate anyone for checking those posts out.
As per tradition on this blog, this post is a showcase of New Year-themed art from the anime and video industries in Twitter/X. To be honest, I’ve started checking X less after I made my Bluesky account earlier this month but I still try to include anything that stood out to me. Like with the Christmas post, I changed the format a bit since WordPress’s X API seems pretty unstable these days (which doesn’t surprise me and is 100% the fault of X).
