12 Days of Anime 2019 – the Year of Fluff

I’ve changed a lot over the years. I recently wrote about how maternal I was becoming. I suppose that growing more sentimental goes hand in hand with that! I used to hate cutesy, romantic fluff. As far as I was concerned, it just got in the way of the good stuff (if you know what I mean)… In fact, one of my very first posts on WWB (waaay back in 2012 – dear God, don’t try to find it) was on that very subject.

30 Days of Anime Challenge – #30 the Anime I Wish Never Ended

The second being that among these anime there aren’t any that I feel a burning need to watch over any of the others. So can I cheat a bit and list them? Please?
