#first quarter

March 25 2026 @ 21:01 | First Quarter in Gemini

EDIT: Fixed grammer

That time of year again to celebrate the works (from my perspective) that premiered this year. But this time, it'll be different. Rather than both being a look back of media that premiered this year and an anniversary celebration of works that premiered 10 or more years ago, the [Quarter] [Year] will now only be a look back for works that premiered in the designated year. Anniversary celebrations are now split to my "happy anniversaries to the following medias" series (currently only animation/anime anniversaries). The works listed are clash between shows I personally enjoyed and watched, and shows/games/media I added on Unreleased Works.

Ah, February.The shortest month on the calendar, arriving after what has felt like the longest January in recorded human history. January didn’t just pass.  It lingered. It unpacked its bags. It made itself coffee. It settled into our nervous systems.And now here comes February, technically brief, emotionally expansive.On paper, February is efficient. Twenty-eight days. Blink and you miss it. But…
