Happy New Year, everyone! I wish you all a wonderful day. Be safe, be well, and have fun! Here’s hoping 2026 will be a great year for everyone.
Thank you to everyone who supported my blog during 2025, 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. For personal reasons, I don’t think I was terribly consistent with blogging during 2025. I know that’s okay, it happens, but still, my apologies for that. The anime episode reviews went a bit haywire throughout the year though thankfully, I think I somehow managed to round out the backlog back to a manageable state again. The past couple years, I keep thinking I’ll finally be 99% done with the backlog but I really hope that 2026 is where it finally happens. I’ve kind of been at the end of my rope with catching up for some time now. It’s been fun though and I appreciate anyone checking those posts out. Also keeping my fingers crossed that I can start varying my output as well.
Below is the traditional roundup of New Years-related art from official anime and video game accounts on Twitter/X, with a couple from Bluesky. Apologies in advance if the embeds takes a while to fully load.
