I agree, most anime is predictable, basic and cringe. I just like the animation because it looked cool/cute.

This is basically one of the first paragraphs of an idea I'm working on, might be apart of a short story or nothing at all. I'm
just wondering how it flows to you guys. Also tips on not procrastinating so much would be nice. I have an almost 3 hour gap between classes but I always end up spending it reading or on my phone.

>The town was brutally cold the night prior and the primary conclusion reached by the police on the scene was hypothermia. Despite the cold breeze the vagrants body bled a foul odor into the air and it became difficult to tell if it was his natural odor or decomposition. Upon closer inspection his knuckles were rough and palms were calloused, implying he has done a fair share of land work or fighting, likely a combination of both. Plenty of farms in the area and plenty of drunkards willing to box over nothing. There was also a dig mark on the neck as if he was cut with a jagged knife, not a deep cut, nor was there blood to indicate it was recent, but certainly noticeable. The tired detective was inclined to agree with the police and that this man froze to death in the alley. But one does not freeze to death without attempting to find shelter the detective thought to himself.

She doesn't care either way. I usually read between classes. She's an avid reader but I don't know what she reads, I know her favorite book is The Princess Bride and she's a big Jane Austen fan so I guess that's pretty typical for a girl.
