Anime

Yeah, it sucks but at least we got anime

So yeah, blerds, today's not great, without a doubt, as we all wake back up to the reality of Trump back in the white house. It's like waking up to find out Piccolo isn't Black. Yeah, that kind of hurt.

But while we're all in our feelings (and trust, those feelings are valid), let me share some hope as we look toward these next four years. Your attention is your superpower. Where do you direct your eyes, your clicks, and your energy? That stuff matters more than you know. So, let's redirect that energy instead of doom-scrolling through posts from other humans celebrating these results like they just collected all seven Dragon Balls.

Take in content that lets you process those feelings while keeping your mind right. That's the move we're making at Blerdimension - gaming, diving into anime, getting lost in comics and manga, or sometimes just existing in our space. Feel your feelings (because mental health is no joke), but don't give your precious attention to those who feast on your suffering like some kind of emotion-draining villain.

So, family, now that you've closed TikTok and put Instagram to sleep, let's fire up Crunchyroll. Need some recommendations? I got you:

Shangri-La Frontier

Listen, if you're sleeping on this one, you're missing out HEAVY. We can all admit it now - we loved early Sword Art Online. It's 2024; we're past pretending we didn't. And right about now, that full dive tech is looking really nice. Shangri-La Frontier brings that heat with god-tier animation, a story that hits, and combat scenes that go crazy. Plus, we've got two seasons to binge when the feels hit.

DEMON LORD 2099

Solid 7/10 in my book, but who doesn't want to escape to 2099 right now? Magic meets tech, topped with a demon lord turning to streaming? Say less. The premise alone is worth the price of admission.

BLUE LOCK

Real Talk - this is my first sports anime. I used to look at sports anime like 2K games - why watch it when I could just hit the court? But family, I gotta hold this L because I was without a doubt wrong. When you need that motivation injection (and who doesn't right now?), Blue Lock delivers. Let's channel that Blue Lock energy into these next four years. You'll know what I mean after you watch.

That's what I got for now, fam. I had to write this to keep myself from doom-scrolling, too. Remember: you're not alone in this. Yeah, it sucks, but at least we got anime. And Uncle Piccolo still got our backs.

If you haven't already, join us on our Discord channel. We're all chilling there today and the rest of this week, taking this all in. Don't rush through these feelings; let them be, and know your attention matters.

Warning: Don't feed the trolls; they only grow stronger.
