Chidi Anagonye, the man who was literally killed by his indecisiveness, knew without any debate or advice that he was ready to move on, and was the first of the main cast to walk through the gate.

Jason Mendoza, the loud-mouthed dimwit whose idea of hell was a world where he was forced to be quiet and wise, spent thousands of cycles alone in contemplation of the universe, and sat patiently until he could provide his final act of kindness to the Not-Girl he loved.

Tahani Al-Jamil, the woman who needed constant validation for her achievements and talents, decided to spend the rest of (the foreseeable) eternity by sitting in the shadows and creating the simulations that would help others become their best selves.

Michael, a demon who by nature despised all of humanity, found his happiness in becoming a human, and in learning to grow and change for the better.

Janet, the AI who had no purpose other than to fein happiness and provide for anyone’s desires without question, learned to not only love but to think and feel for herself.

And of course, Eleanor Shellstrop, the woman who needed no one, who owed nobody anything, did not ever spend her time in the good place alone, and refused to walk through the gate until she made sure that everyone else she knew was happy first.

Each of them ended their stories with their original faults/sins resolving to become their greatest virtues, and these virtues became the things that gave them the peace to move on and be one with the universe. This show was absolutely beautiful and there won’t be anything quite like it.

I just finished watching Dr. Stone and honestly, it was incredible. I love that the protagonist, despite taking on a leadership role due to his superior intellect, has his limitations and genuinely requires the assistance of his friends in order to accomplish his goals.  A lot of shonens make their leads too OP - which I personally find to be incredibly frustrating - so I absolutely loved the fact that all of the characters - even the children - were able to find an important role to play in mankind's survival. Senku, without his friends, would not have been able to accomplish what he set out to do. And the anime, despite keeping Senku at the forefront of things, does such a wonderful job of constantly reminding viewers of the importance of the other characters and I am so thankful for that. The show is incredibly smart, funny and well written. The characters are all extremely likable and the story, despite being one that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, relies heavily on science as opposed to brute strength, for mankind’s survival (although Dr. Stone does a great job of showcasing the fact that all types of strengths are crucial, science is at the forefront) . And it’s such a fresh take on things. I absolutely loved every second of season 1 and I’m likely going to read the manga next, because the anime was A++.
