Dead Account Anime First Impression!

Published January 19, 2026 by Shay Taree

I decided today to finally watch the first 2 episodes of the anime Dead Account and it was show that I had out on my watch list for winter 2026 anime. I was really intrigued on how it dealt with the occult plus the premise what the main character was a troll online.

When you first meet the main character Souji he is a high school dropout and he runs a online channel where he seems to fight people and then post it online. At first I didn’t feel bad for this character and thought he was going to be a typical delinquent character but I was surprised to find out why he does what he does.

Turns out his sister is sick and he is using the mo way to help his sister get the surgery that she needs. This made me feel for the character. But in a matter of minutes I was crushed when you find out his sister passes away.

He find solace in thinking he is still communicating with his sister but there is a catch. It’s not his sister but her ghost and after being confronted by a mysterious guy does he find out that when people have a strong connection to someone in this world they can’t pass on.

This awakens a power inside of Souji and he soon starts training at a school for others to fight off these ghosts and send them to the beyond.

Overall I’m really enjoying this show so far and can’t wait to watch the best episode. It definitely seems to be a cross between Yu Uu Hakusho & and Bleach to me but not in a bad way.

BTS New Album Arirang & Preorder!

Published January 18, 2026 by Shay Taree

This past Thursday wa the preorder for the new bts album that we finally got a title for. The title is Arirang which doesn’t have a meaning in the Korean language because it is described as a feeling. Many Armys were so excited when we got the title since everyone was wondering. Plus it the got linked to a performance that BTS did in 2016 where they performed the song Arirang.

It seems to fitting for them to have this as the title for their newest album and I can’t wait to hear the songs on it. It still feels so surreal that they will be coming out with a new album on March. As soon as everything was announced though all of us went to pre-save the album on Spotify and Apple Music.

Also with that announcement we got to see how many versions of the album will be released along with the album version names. Plus the shocker for me was seeing that vinyls for the album was going to be released so soon since usually it’s a few months after the initial album release.

Preorder itself was hectic when the time came since I was trying figure out what I wanted. But I needed to be quick so that things didnt sell out while I was trying to decide. I ended up getting the set and I’m so happy with it. Also the packaging is all white at the moment since none of us know what the album cover or concept images look like.

Overall I’m so excited for this album to be released so we can hear what it sounds like and also what the concept is going to be. March 20th cannot come fast enough!

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar Anime First Impression!

Published January 17, 2026 by Shay Taree

This was an anime that I actually was super excited to watch based off the premise and also because I had heard a lot about the webtoon. The webtoon was made by Hybe which is a kpop company that actually is the company for my favorite kpop group BTS. (Which they have their webtoon by the way). But this webtoon used their group in Enhypen as inspiration/the face of the webtoon.

This webtoon became really popular to where it has an anime now. So I decided it was time to check it out. The anime is about a group of vampires who attend and academy where a new girl is now starting. They are all weirdly attracted to this girl and they aren’t for sure why.

In the first episode we meet the new girl and it immediately starts with her meeting one of the guys and then him telling his group of friends how there is something about her. We also then meet the rest of his crew where they of course run into her only after being told to stay away from her. So far it’s really caught my eye and I can’t wait to watch the next episode.

The one thing that I have found interesting about this show is the dub voice acting. Yes I’m watching it dubbed but for this dub every character has a British, Irish (?), or somewhat European accent. Which is an interesting choice. But overall it still have me intrigued enough to read the webtoon at a later date.

So if you are interesting in checking out this anime it is currently available on Crunchyroll with the first 2 episodes already released at the time of me writing this. also check out my YouTube short if you want to listen to how I feel about this anime so far.

Sentenced To Be A Hero Anime First Impression!

Published January 15, 2026 by Shay Taree

This was an anime that many people recommended for me to check out and follow for the winter 2026 anime season! So let me tell you that everyone tha recommended this anime made a great choice because I’m really enjoying it so far

The 2nd episode just released today and at first I wasn’t sure but after finishing the 2nd episode I definitely plan to keep up with this anime. Sentenced To Be A Hero is about a guy by the name of Xylo who is sentenced to become a hero which is actually a punishment and not something to be celebrated. I found this to be an interesting concept and it made me continue watching.

Also one thing that was surprising was that the first episode was a whopping 58 minutes. I was thinking it was going to be 25-30 mins but whe I saw that 58 minutes it stopped me in my tracks. The 58 minutes was worth it to me since it did give me a chance to really find out more about the world. But I gave it until the end of the 2nd episode to really give my first impression since fantasy shows can sometimes need some time for me to get into them.

Overall I really think others should check out the anime because os far it’s really good and the premise is quite interesting. Check out the video linked to below to listen to my first impression.

Hana-Kimi Anime First Impressions!

Published January 14, 2026 by Shay Taree

Hana-Kimi was one of 5 winter anime I put on my list for this winter season and so far I’m glad that I did. So far only the first 3 episodes are out with the 4th one about to air in the next few days and I’m hooked on it. I’m enjoying the drama, the funny moments, and also some of the angst that is happening. It’s also really keeping me engaged due to the synopsis since it really reminds me of the early 2000s move She’s the Man that started Amanda Bynes.

Hana-Kimi has been well known for a while since it was/is a popular manga and it had already been made into a live action drama. But this is the first time that it’s been made into an anime from my understanding.

It involves a girl named Mizuki who is disguising herself as a boy at an all boys school to get close to a boy that she likes. Of course a lot of mishaps happen along the way especially when it turns out that she is roommates with the guy she likes who’s name is Izumi Sano.

I’m super excited to watch more of the show since it already has a few characters figuring out he is actually a she so I’m curious on how that will navigate throughout the series.

I have a small video linked below about my thoughts as well so far so feel free to check it out if you like.

BTS Announces World Tour Cities & Dates!

Published January 13, 2026 by Shay Taree

Yes I am a kpop fan specifically an Army since my favorite group is BTS and they just announced their anticipated 2026 world tour! I am so excited for this tour and just to tell yall how massive this is that when the news came out Armys crashed the website Weverse (where we get a lot of news from) and also Twitter! That already makes me nervous for when tickets go on sales next week.

BTS last tour was a short one in 2020 where they performed in LA, Seoul, Japan, and Las Vegas! So many Armys are super excited because not only do we get this tour but also a new album that releases March 20th of this year. I am so excited for this tour and album since they have been on hiatus as a group since 2022 due to their mandatory military service.

Who else is super excited for this tour and album! I already know that getting tickets is going to be a bloodbath!

My Hero Academia Final Season Review! (Spoilers)

Published January 12, 2026 by Shay Taree

Over the past few days I finally decided to watch the final season of My Hero Academia! This was a long time coming and I was super excited to watch the conclusion to this amazing show. I did watch it dub since I’m used to the dub voices but that didn’t make this season any less exciting!

There were many times during the season that I was almost brought to tears. I was on the edge of my seat with the thought that All Might was going to die or that Bakugo wasn’t going to make it. Plus I felt bad for several of those involved in the entire battle including the bad guys since we got to understand why they are the way they are.

The final battle was epic and everything that I hope it would be the stand out moment and the part that almost got me to cry was finding out that Deku was now quirkless again. I was so ready to see him continue to go out there and fight but to find out he was now quirkless just made me sad. I also enjoyed have the epilogue there to see what everyone was up to after and to have it narrated by Deku just made it that much tear jerking.

There was definitely some laughs though so not everything was sad like finding out that Bakugo still had that attitude of his and is gunning for the number 1 spot. Overall I enjoyed this series a lot and I’m so glad I went back and started it over from the beginning since seeing the characters change over the course of the entire series. But my favorite character is still Todoroki haha!

If you like feel free to check out my YouTube short for my quick 3 min review of the show and remember there will be spoilers. Link is below!
