Yea so been watching some more. Here are some I watched

Fairy Tail - wasted my time
Assassination Classroom - really good. I really liked the premise and while the first season was OK, the second was emotional packed for an action anime
JJK- beautifully done shounen

What do you guys think of Beach
Assuming that you mean 'Bleach', I think it starts off great and gets very weird and side-story heavy so much so that after the Bount Arc is finished the series is in such deep chaos that the starting of the actual storyline with the Espada seems like just another side-story/filler.

The artwork is fantastic and the story itself is great for sure but I just feel the order of the storyline was a bit iffy (yes, literally things that happened before and after other things could have been structured differently, it wasn't entirely chronological once the fillers came in). I also think that it tried too hard to have so many massive twists, rather than focusing on finessing some twists and mainly being straightforward. There end up being so many twists that it's somewhat confusing who really is a good guy (again this starts happening shortly after the Bount Arc ends, everything about the series gets really chaotic around then).

Until the Bount Arc and even during it, you felt clear on who stood where (despite a massive twist with Aizen). Slowly after that Arc ends, you begin realising that the entire storyline is far more complex than you'd imagined and a lot of the 'bad guys' had simply come to see soul reapers and quincy as the villains, which further complicates who to root for and why.

The series also is so utterly huge that it becomes daunting for you as a viewer to feel you are watching for hours just to progress for a tiny bit of storyline. I do appreciate the effort put in and all the actors and even directors did a great-effort job. This is just about execution of a project and the mysteries of art. Something about the execution felt 'off' for me. The 'natural flow' of a storyline felt absent.

It's just one digit, and you get only one more guess. If you get it right I will switch avatars.

Saying random numbers without doing any investigation seems like an inefficient way of uncovering the correct answer.

You have access to sufficient resources to figure out the answer within about 60 seconds.

A magician never tells ;)

but yeah, the reverse search was the obvious strategy if someone didn't know.

I really like vampire and werewolf type things but this particular game seems to be a genre that wouldn't entirely be for me (as in the game seems to be a story more than a game and that isn't my typical go-to genre in gaming).

That is fairly true of the tabletop, though the computer game which the tabletop inspired is by contrast relatively open-ended for it's time, including multiple endings and such. Granted its time was nearly 2 decades ago so comparing it with newer games is rather unfair and the computer game is a bit of a cult classic at this point so it would be hard for me to justify recommending it to anyone as a new experience. Still, enjoyable enough for me by myself.
