flip flappers is a sci-fi magical girl original anime (meaning it isn’t adapted from a source material) which is an interesting combination of genres to say the least. it started airing in japan in 2016 and has since then retained a close to nonexistent fandom. however, the few people who’ve picked it up have highly rated it—one of them being me.
we follow cocona, a seemingly ordinary middle school student living a normal life with her grandmother, and papika, an energetic and eccentric—manic pixie even—girl, as they go on adventures in an alternate dimension called pure illusion.
I’ve heard that some have found it boring after the first few episodes (probably due to the seemingly rinse and repeat plot), but I would suggest watching it all the way. it gets very interesting and the animation and creativity put into the series is beautiful.
it’s only 12 eps, each one being around 20 mins long.

my taste in anime and manga is a bit all over the place, but if we’re like-minded, then you might just absolutely love these <3
this isn’t in any particular order
01. wonder egg priority
— last three eps or so are rushed and the ending is kinda wonky but overall a good take of the magical girl genre
02. the ice guy and his cool female colleague
— just a chill romance with some supernatural sprinkled in
03. bibliomania
— obscure asf with no official english translation and the original japanese release was limited I believe
04. frieren: beyond journey’s end
— favourite anime alongside flip flappers. a slice of life fantasy
05. apothecary diaries

Deleted tiktok and finished three books in a week. I should’ve deleted the app sooner. It’s actually so insane how ingrained tiktok scrolling has been in my daily routine. without the app I was just scrolling through the most random apps ever, then realized like damn this is a problem 😭 I miss it bad but I also don’t need it. Twitter is next 🙏 I need to fill my time with productive and fulfilling activities, no more mindless scrolling ‼️
