HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello and happy new year~

I know, I know… I’ve been more than a little MIA this past year. Life got a little way too busy, and as a way to destress, I spent most of my 2023 replaying the Ace Attorney series for the nth time lol oops 😅

I did end up watching a few anime during the year, but I never had enough time to write down my thoughts about it. Since I decided to do an overhaul of my entire blog last year and then ended up not really posting anything after that overhaul… I can’t really call it a blog overhaul, can I?

Now that we’re in the new year, I’m going to do my best to keep up with the things I have in my backlog, along with things that I’m currently making my way through. I would like to look back at the end of the year and see how many things I’ve played, watched, or read. That’s the whole reason why this blog even exists in the first place!

That being said, I finally got off my ass to play through “Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective” even though I preordered the remastered version months ago 😅 You’d think I would’ve played it upon release since the graphics look so crisp compared to when I played it on the Nintendo DS, but nope! In typical Hiba fashion, I left it sitting there, just waiting to be played. While I have the original on the DS, I ended up buying it on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PS4 so I could have that bonus content on hand whenever I want it haha

As of this post, I’m already over halfway done with the game, so please look forward to that post when it comes out! I don’t want to say too much since there’s a lot to unpack about this game and why it’s so, so, so good, but that’ll be a post for another day.

Not much to say in the anime department, but I’ll be watching “Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective” soon! I’ve been waiting for the current season to end, and now that the fall season is over, I’m hoping to watch it later this month. I’m currently reading the manga for it, so now I get to see how the anime adaptation is! Very excited since it’s by Amano Akira, the creator of “Katekyo Hitman Reborn,” a series near and dear to my heart and also where my online handle originated from.

As far as manga goes, I’m still reading “One Piece,” but I’m hoping I can get back into the ones I’ve put on hiatus lol Currently, my goal is to catch up with “Toilet-bound Hanako-kun.” It’s something I’ve left on the sidelines for far too long that I actually need to start from the beginning to remember what the hell has happened. It’ll be my nighttime reading for the time being haha

And I guess that’s all for now! A few mini updates, but at the very least, you know what’s been going on and what you can look forward to later.

Until next time! Bye bye~
