Hey, I'm just a 23 years old female who resides in California. I've joined previous communities like MyAnimeList before, but it's been awhile since I've jumped back into meeting others. My favorite anime do happen to include mainstream series like One Piece, Gintama, Hunter x Hunter, and others. However, I particularly like series that are more Slice of Life. Aside from anime, I do like to read manga as well as manwha. In terms of what I have been enjoying this season I so far have found myself looking forward to Beastars, Houkago Saikoro Club, Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, Hoshiai no Sora, Ascendence of a Bookworm, Kono Oto Tomare! 2, and Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne!. Others I've been watching from last season include Dr. Stone and Vinland Saga. Feel free to leave me a message as I'm always glad to meet and make new friends. (That and I'm bad at taking the initiative myself.) Thanks to all who bothered reading this!

Changing the username is possible after you gain points in the member shop. I believe 2500 points. It is 2,500 points (under the shop option). I went ahead and made a donation so you can take care of it (I rarely do anything with them anyway). Afraid I’m not much help on the profile picture since I struggle myself sometimes with the technical aspects. Don’t worry about the mis-steps, I’m constantly editing my posts THK is soooooo cool.

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here. Love your avi, by the way: looks like the Apple logo, then when you look closer you can see Ryuk’s profile. Of the series you mentioned, Cowboy Bebop & Fullmetal Alchemist are shorter, so you can finish them quicker. Cowboy Bebop is one of my all time faves. Fullmetal Alchemist has 2 versions that have some similar scenes, but wind up being very different stories. I personally prefer Brotherhood, but some people like the original better. Each version has a separate movie as well. It looks like you’ve watched mostly shonen titles. A couple of the most popular right now are My Hero Academia, Dr. Stone & Kimetsu no Yaiba. Some others I enjoyed are Ushio & Tora and Buso Renkin. For something similar to Death Note, try to find Monster somewhere for it’s battle of wits (The Promised Neverland will probably work too). For series with scheming/manipulative MCs there’s Code Geass, Overlord & Saga of Tanya the Evil. Anyway, hope you stick around

That's a tough one. Since I do not want to post paragraphs after paragraphs here is a concise summary which might oversimplify things Light's reasoning was that criminals should be put to death to create a perfect world, probably by stopping the criminals from committing further crimes and as a warning sign to others. This seems like what philosophers might call a 'utilitarian view', where your main aim is to maximize happiness in the maximum amount of persons. You might think this is a decent view, but I can assure you that no one here would subscribe to it fully. Some of the issues with it also apply to Light. One thing is that it is difficult to say what effects which sort of punishment will have. Pardoning a murderer might lead him to teach anti-violence courses and therefore effectively stop more murders than if he had been put to death. There being 7 billion people he would have to evaluate every single case carefully which is just impractical. So Light would have to work on a basis where he makes an educated guess on what the best action probably is. Other problems are things like false accusations where innocent people might be put to death, or generally that such an approach would definitely lead to killing people who cannot be guilty at all. Another big issue is where Light would get the right to punish others. Just because he is powerful does not mean that he is justified in handing out punishment. So yeah, I think his view was quite problematic. You can see why he would think that, but if you consider it in more detail I think it is quite unconvincing.

I am no big fan of fast-food restaurant chains like MC Donalds but the commercial is very fitting to the current season and well made.

I understood where Light was coming from, but his method of punishment was too extreme. He really believed it was absolute judgment and if anyone questioned it, they were killed on the spot. He certainly didn't hesitate to kill anyone who suspected him of being Kira.

@xnaylynn Greetings, welcome to Anime Forums! Suit yourself to explore the distinct sections within the forums, and find where you like best.

I just caught up to the latest episode in Vinland Saga and am so glad I put it off for a while. I was able to binge watch from episode 5 and the fight scenes are beyond spectacular!! Don't even get me started on the storyline so far

Hi there! You've got a solid selection there! I guess the others have pretty much said what I was thinking about your question though

Hell yeah let's do it! haha! I was thinking I could single handedly get this place jiving but if we had an active forum army maybe we could make it happen Huh! Wow, I might incorporate some of these ideas into my collection. I've been struggling with what I want to do in the future. I was going to ask the people who separate their regular blurays from their LE sets how they do that cause what if they have a series with multiple seasons where they have one season on LE and the other season as a regular release. (Maybe they missed the LE set for that particular season or whatever the case) do they keep the seasons separate or do they ruin their flow of LE sets with the occasional reg bluray thrown in? See neither would work so I'm genuinely curious about that. It looks like separating into genre is a great idea. Horror, Fighting, magical girl, harem etc. I might go for that personally with some variations. I'm SO trying to find a way to be able to keep track of my shows that way I can find them easily once I get a massive collection. Gonna do my best.

As stated in the title, try adding, exchanging, or removing 1 letter from the title of an anime to make it a bad title. For example: Dragon Balls

Hello all. I already knows some basics about how to draw body male and female, foreshortening, perspective, cloth folds and shadows. I wonder how should I improve from here? I still need to memorize some basic designs and poses maybe I should start copying practice on some poses? Maybe I need to improve my drawing lines? Thank you.

Welcome to the forums I’m finding Iruma-kun surprisingly enjoyable myself (can’t wait to see how things play out between him & the student council prez). After School Dice Club & Average Abilities isekai are fun too. Planning to binge the second half of Vinland Saga once it’s over, but will have to wait on Netflix to release Beastars. Anyway, hope you enjoy it here.

I dunno... there's that cake topic after all. You sure you didn't typo "3/2's"?

Its hard to choose a favorite character because there are so many characters in the series, but if I had to I would choose Chizome or Shigaraki. I like Chizome because of his beliefs and I like Shigaraki because of his quirk and how powerful he was/is. My favorite quirk though is Overclock because of the potential it has to become the strongest quirk in the series, but because it isn't really strong at the moment then I would probably say All for one or Foresight because they are cool XD. Heres a link to a thread i made a few days ago about Overclock if you want to read about it. There are some things that i want to add to the thread but too lazy to do so XD. https://animebase.me/threads/overclock-vs-other-quirks-new-best-quirk.770868/

Silenqe is Silence but with a q instead of a c. I used to go by the name Silence, but a lot of people already used it so i couldn't use it a lot when i was making new accounts to a game or website, so i decided to change it a little and people might use z, x or s instead but i have never seen anyone use a q and q is also unique in a sense, so i wanted to use it instead.

Awwww.... You're my one of many... Isn't that just as good? Nice. I love that game. I still need to play 3. I'm not very good at Discord. It requires attention. I have very little focused attention to give.

I’ll check that My Hero Academia thread out for sure lol, but I’m a pre-med major!

Well they were purchased directly from Sentiafilmworks as brand new. And they were all plastic wrapped. Could Sentai be really selling used products as brand new? I haven't felt them as I'm afraid to touch them. I never touch the bottoms of discs. I'm going to contact them tonight cause I find this unacceptable. Hopefully they can help me out cause that seriously put a damper on my holiday purchase.

I love this forum but I wish it were more populated. Before anime my obsession was statues and I was a regular on statueforum. This would have had 20+ responses by now. I guess I have to get use to the slower forums here... Such is life! I guess I’ll just have to let my collection evolve in its own way. Though sometimes I can be OCD so we’ll see how that fits into my collection haha!

A little late in the day but happy thanksgiving everybody! I hope you all have a wonderful day.

That's true they all deserved to be protected

Man I thought Rotom Wash was going to be meh since they took away its defog move, but man its even better now. Gigantamax Rotom wash can summon rain, which makes some moves never miss like hurricane and thunder. And it also boost water moves. It also summons electric terrain, which boost elec moves, and pokemon that are touching the ground can't sleep. So it counters spore, rest, and any other move that makes you sleep or them sleep. Rotom wash is really good now about clefable, man this thing is really OP as a non legend. With magic guard, it ignores burn, toxic, poison, and cant take damage from them. Though it still can be hit by poison attacks and steel attacks. Though poison and burn does nothing to it, it also cant be hit by hail, or sandstorm, or rocks and spikes. With cosmic power it can keep using cosmic power till it takes hardly any damage at all. And with moon light it can just keep healing. And it can learn flamethrower to kill steel types. And man when clefable turns into its gigantamax form, flame thrower turns into max flame, with brings out the sun and completely destroys steel types and grass types. And has max fairy attack also, which brings out misty, and misty makes stats moves useless. The most powerful non legend though is got to be dragapult, this thing is faster and does more damage then any other mon, besides the legends. Has dragon dance, to do even more damage with physical damage moves. Or you can use life orb to do even more damage. Has steel wing to kill fairy types, or use its max form, and use max steel attack to 1 hit kill fairy types.

Yeah the whole gold searching story reminds me of westerns as well. Looking forward to getting deeper into the show.

Naruto is also one of my favorite anime! Least favorite character. Probably Sai. I know that he had special training in the 'Foundation', but still he kinda bugged me. Who is your least favorite character?

There was Gun Frontier which was essentially Captain Harlock in the wild west https://myanimelist.net/anime/1706/Gun_Frontier

I just noticed that the Humble store is currently selling a light novel/book bundle with a bunch of Kodansha's "Monogatari" stuff by Nisio Ishin (aka "NisiOisiN"). If you're a Bake/Nise/Etc fan you might want to check it out. (Not sure if this is quite the right category for this topic but I didn't see a light-novel category sooo... <plunk>)

What is the best place to search for out of print anime DVDs? I would guess something like eBay, but are there are other places I could look that might be worth checking out?

That’s the tricky part Amazon, maybe? I primarily use Righrstuf since they have both a pre-order & recent additions link on the home page. While I believe they ship internationally, pretty sure their listings are just region 1

Welcome aboard. "Intense High School Weeb" - sounds like an amazing occupation. Good choice on the favorite topic, though...Hetalia hurts my head. If you have any questions, feel free to holler.

Pokemon Sword (Switch) Started playing this at like 10PM last night. So far the game is pretty adorable. I don't understand how people (who haven't even played the game) are saying the graphics are that of the 3DS. Understandably they will never be as good as PC, PS4 or Xbox but Sword and Shield are definitely a lot better than the DS ones. Anyway, I'm enjoying it and cannot wait to be done with work so I can binge play it more, lol.

Kaku Seiga The wicked Celestial

So yeah “heroic” doesn’t really seem to fit (though personally I think Chise is supposed to be the actual protagonist).

Hi i am 25 years old i am also new to this website hoping to get along , my favorite anime is Dragon Ball Z which is yours?

Welcome to the forums I hope you enjoy it here. Since you like slice of life, did you ever watch Flying Witch? We were doing a group watch and discuss on the forum a while back but a few of us got bogged down with work.

From HunterxHunter ? Pitou!? Why? Its easy for me to ignore her endless transgressions on happiness and wellbeing... Because well She's mislead and we all make mistakes... This is never more evident

hello guys Watching the Monogatari series. Currently on Monogatari Series: 2nd Season. At first I didn’t think I wouldn’t enjoy the Monogatari series because of all the things people say about it, but honestly I love it. The characters and story are great. Would recommend. thanks and regards

Hi everyone ! Well first I'm must apologize form my english is terbile when it come's to writing so i hope you all, will forgive me. So next point is that I'm ordynary guy from Poland, and I love anime, computer games, paintball and airsoft. I hope that we all will have great time in this comunity. Thaks for reading this and I wish you great day or night depending when you reading this

spent a lot of time doing writing over the last day or so, and been a little head-coldy, so haven't really had the time to do anything decent. but instead, I did try and make a little sketchy-sketch, so made this; I kinda get animation, but don't at the same time. still learning though ;-;

Akira is set in 2019. Edge of Tomorrow is set in 2020. GI Joe the Rise of Cobra is set in 2020. Highlander 2 is set in 2024, we're almost there The Postman (underrated) is set in 2013 The original Robocop was set in the "future" of 1991

Maybe 3. It'd disappear up its own rear end, be made almost entirely of plastic, and would be the epitome of irony. Also, you wouldn't be allowed in because it'd be walled off from the rest of the world.

Neko dance.

I feel like part of the magic of the original was being so young and enjoying it as a child. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it.

I have - possibly literally - tons of paper books already, and no space for more. I've also got a lot of magazines and professional publications that are hard to manage and not worth displaying, as well as a bunch of tech documents (like this) that I'd like to have available in portable form without having to lug stacks of paper or a (laptop) computer around with me all the time. It is also quite handy to be able to search the tech sheets and journals electronically. I've tried the ebook thing before and found it less than satisfactory, but the potential benefits are what keep me trying.

I'm currently working on making a webtoon. So here's one of the panels. The main character waking up getting out of bed.

The rules to this game is this: 1. Hinata Hyuuga is the main villain. 2. Sasuke has to die by Hinata. 3. Boruto has to kill Hinata. 4. Himawari has to kill Boruto. 5. Sarada killed Himawari. 6. Naruto killed Sarada. 7. Sakura killed Naruto. While dying Naruto told her his love for her was true love not a competition with Sasuke. Naruto says he was the Sasuke at the bench. "You only love Sasuke cause your competition with Ino." "Before I passed away. I always thought of you Have a Charming forehead and makes me want to kiss it." Naruto kissed it then passed on. Then Sakura pulls a Tsunade and ran off never seen again. Sakura stole some sperms from Naruto and Sasuke's sperm bank.
