The most recent anime I watched was A Silent Voice on Netflix, btw, where I felt obligated to watch the English dub because that was the one that cast a Deaf actress to play the Deaf character (It was very good in general, so back off dub haters)

I guess I'll branch off into a tangent about that movie, which hit me really hard happening to watch it after the finales of The Good Place and Bojack Horseman Like it's a whole movie about desperately trying to recover from realizing you're a shitty human being who hurts people
