Boku Dake ga Inai Machi Episode 2 – Not Wearing Gloves is a Sign of Nihilism
I liked Satoru’s inner monologues in episode one. While shitty life circumstances can certainly make a person miserable, toxic thought patterns can do just as good of a…

Heroes of 2015: Leon (Garoooooo: Carved Seal of Flame)
