Chuunbiyou Symptoms and Diagnostic

Steins;Gate 0 Ep 17 – The Second That Lasts Forever

What’s in a Name ? (Anime Edition)
Some of you may remember that I once wrote a post about naming posts. To this day, finding interesting yet meaningful post names is a huge challenge for me. I’m tempted to just name them randomly, like Henry or something… What I didn’t mention then is that names in general have long been a source…
