Five of my favorite anime OST songs

A couple of months ago I made a post about some of my favorite anime themes in recent seasons. Today I figured I’d do something a little bit different but in a similar vein.

I wanted to include all of the fillers in my rewatch as well to make sure I see all of it again before the new season starts in October. Unfortunately, there are only about three months left, which means I have to consistently … Continue reading Bleach Recap #0: My road to Bleach →
