𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 - 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐱It is not a coincidence that every year, an anime just makes my entire year of media consumption all the more worthwhile. Perhaps because I am not an avid consumer of anime and thus only choose the ones that get the highest recommendations from my peers.

Try as I might I still don't understand how the first fable narrated by Konkona Sen Sharma's character even remotely wraps itself around the…
