The Tatami Galaxy

watched this a while back before entering my freshman year of college (otherwise, the genesis of my quarter life crisis yay!) and it definitely echoed something that i have been trying so hard to engrave into my principles in life, which is to live in the present and to push aside the hypothetical desire for a rose-colored campus life for a minute. the storytelling element was eccentric which really drew me in deeper into the series itself, the art (masaaki yuasa never disappoints!), the dialogue (i saw this series in japanese with english subtitles so it was definitely a challenge to keep up with what watashi was saying), and even the characters were interesting. it was so fun to watch and the next time someone asks me what anime i would recommend to them, tatami galaxy will always be on the table. p.s. for some reason any anime series with asian kung-fu generation performing their opening songs ends up being the ones i loved the most.
