24. Kamen Rider Ryuki

i thought... it would be happier...

i wouldn't really call this one conclusive though the mini arcs are very good by themselves honestly, but the LN is pretty much finished so wherever the anime goes from here will be moving towards a finale

needless to say, i adored this season. every new character was great and every new scenario had me seated. id say my favorite new character was probably akagi, her struggles hit hard and i wont lie i rewatched the end of her arc a few times. sometimes you gotta hear those words

23. Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus

if you've known me for a while you know the deep lore that this series is a little special to me. having watched the first season in high school, its really great that i get to follow the characters at a similar age to my own once more.
