It’s surprising how fast time flies since Pokémon officially turns 20 years old later this month with the first generation games (Red and Green) releasing back in February 27th, 1996 in Japan. While I have reflected on the franchise (mostly on the games) in the past, it’s time to share my overall thoughts on how Pokémon made me become an anime fan that I am today.

As stated earlier, I regret not watching Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka when it first aired in 2014 since I enjoyed every moment of cute girls working at a café. While people had a caffeine-like withdraw after the first season finished airing, when a sequel was announced, people jump for joy since this show is finally coming back for a second season. Does it live up to the prequel? Let’s find out.

For a while now, I have bought physical copies of games, music CDs and even anime DVDs/Blu-rays since I prefer owning an actual copy.
