Heeeheh~ I was kinda too nervous to post here, but! I tried cell-shading some chibis and it turned out ok, so why not? Brunette is my beloved OC Shizumoto Kaede and the white-haired bob-cut fellow an equally beloved canon villain from season 1 of Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, Kusatsu Kinshiro. I am a shameless OC insert kind of person and Kaede is one of my absolute favorites. Having someone so clumsy that she's basically a walking hazard as a hero is just In short, she's my baby lol. You'll probably be seeing more of her here in the future~ Please, if possible keep criticism to yourself; I'm happy with this the way it is and can't make changes to it now anyway.

Hi! You can call me Strawberry (she/her pls). I'm a college student and I just turned 21 a week or so ago actually, heheh~ You probably won’t see much from me publicly I don’t think (other than in the chit-chat section,) since I’m really just looking for people who wouldn’t mind letting me gush about my fandom to them >.< So…friends, essentially! I’m not really one to post my art on forums, but there is some on the instagram page in my profile if you’re curious. I've been pretty down lately and wanted to find someone to talk about fun things or maybe even watch the aforementioned anime with. I do have anxiety so part of me is pretty nervous to post this, but…I still wanted to try! I'm someone who gets crazy thirsty for those sweet sweet bishounen (♡´w`♡) I like to draw, write/roleplay, make ridiculous inside jokes and overall rn I just want to share the absurd lil anime I'm into with someone who wouldn't mind listening! I’m even playing the otome game based on this show currently ^o^ It’s in Japanese so I’ve been using a site to translate it. I’m having a lot of fun, but I don’t have many friends so it’s kinda sad not being able to share anything ;w; Ideally I'd like to chat on Discord if at all possible, it's just more comfortable for me there. That being said, pms here isn’t out of the question either…Discord is just my preference! I think that's about all that needs to be said for now. I eagerly (yet also somewhat nervously) await your response! (•̀⌄•́) A little aside, I might take a little while to reply at first because I do get anxious kind of easily in new places, but I’ll do my best! Thanks for understanding

Watching Golden kamuy....so far i like it

Ok, so these two are underage to be anyone's waifu and in my case they'd be granddaughterfu. (I think I'm allowed to post two because they're granddaughterfu not waifu)

Too cute!

Usually prefer to watch things in their original language. Feels like some movies and shows loose emotion and some things are lost in transition to a dub. I may not get a joke or a reference but allows me to look up what they are talking about and find something new.

My Camelia doll! Pardon the long post, I just thought I'd share~ The nurse outfit is definitely my favorite!

When your're watching a 1000 episode anime but it isn't hard enough.

Third in a series of half orc bust commissions!

For anyone who's curious, my Kaede doll is finished~!

One of the really great things about this forum is that everyone accepts other people's choices and preferences, there's no "elitist attitudes", and that's how it should be. After all, we're all here because we like watching anime.

Hello, been missing forum style discussion lately in lieu of discord and the like. Been watching and reading manga/anime since the late 80s early 90s and like to dig into series when I like the music. When animators can use the soundtrack as a story telling device that show will be on my list. Nice to meet you all!

It may only be a small collection, but it's a very nice collection. Sadly it seems that the days when you got extras like models, pencil boards and postcards with DVDs is long gone.

@Strawberry2456 I had no idea there was this much merch for this game (largely because I’d never heard of it ) You are a true fangirl @Animedragon Nice collection Particularly impressed with the Macross figures. Wasn’t surprised to see Sailor Mercury & Sakura, but was to see representation from Angelic Layer. I don’t have much in anime merch myself outside of t shirts & hoodies. Mainly lithos, pins, patches, etc that were included with dvd purchases. And these Galaxy Angel Figurines included with a dvd boxset

Did you hear about the man who fell into an upholstery machine? He’s fully recovered.

Hi hi! I'm here again, this is more of an art dump than anything, I didn't want to like spam the forum by posting these individually so I decided to showcase them in a single thread instead. Please bear with me, this is going to be long lol. Also, I have no clue why I was forced to put this in bold! : D it just refuses to let me un-bold it, so...yeah. I'll do a lil guide for the pieces below by numbering them! But first! I'll introduce you to the characters. Both are OCs of mine based on some anime media or other, the first being an actual show (Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!) and the second a semi-popular otome game (Piofiore: Fated Memories/Episodio 1926). The former is a satire on the mahou shoujo genre and the latter is a moody mafia-drama set in the depths of 1920s Italy. Both are my main fandoms right now!٩(◕‿◕｡)۶ The brunette in the first couple of photos is Shizumoto Kaede, whom I did make a post about before, an 18 year old highschool student who poses as a boy to attend an all-male school. She does this as a means to escape a troubled home life; specifically an arranged marriage set up by her family. She’s a bit of a nerd, focusing mostly on studies as she tries her best to stay under the radar. I have several AUs for her (ranging from reluctantly heroic to being downright peer-pressured into being an idol) and ship her with, like…the entire cast of antagonists lol, she’s got a bit of a reverse harem o(≧∇≦o) Her defining trait is her clumsiness, which more often than not is outrageous enough to put her under the scrutiny of her academic peers. OC #2 is Camelia, a 21 year old subordinate of the Lao-Shu, which is a mafia family based in China that currently occupies the southern portion of a small town in Italy. Camelia is…kind of the opposite of what you'd expect from a mafioso. She's soft-spoken, innocent, painfully shy and harbors an incredibly embarrassing crush on the family head, Yang (peep the featured husbando on my profile uwu). She's another character who has a variety of AUs depending on the scenario. More often than not, she takes the role of Key Maiden–a sacrificial bride of sorts whose existence is the key to unearthing a sacred relic hidden in the outskirts of town. I stole this from the MC of the game, lmao. The town of Burlone is actually occupied by 3 of these mafia groups, and they aren't exactly on the best of terms with one another, which makes for some interesting dynamics. Both of these characters were used in my roleplaying endeavors for a good while. I'm absolutely down to try again if anyone is interested…however I'm really only looking to play against canon characters, and I know that's a tall order lol. But even if rp is off the table, I'd love to chat with you! Please don't be afraid to message! With all of this out of the way, I'll get to the art now (•̀⌄•́) 1. My latest work, another cell-shaded chibi piece featuring Kaede and her beloved bullies, twins Akihiko and Haruhiko who also happen to be insufferable and bratty idols. 2. More Idol Kaede, her outfit is based on the twins'. This is a comparison photo between the original 2021 drawing and the current 2023 one! Because Haru and Aki’s gimmicks are the sun and moon respectively, I pictured Kaede's motif being a star (/ω＼) 3. Kaede's reference sheet comparison between the 2021 and 2023 versions. New one is knee-up because I still suck at drawing shoes lmao 4. Battle Lover Kaede! Another comparison. This is her hero uniform (•̀⌄•́) Wom-san wants her to be a hero. Kaede does not want to be a hero. They are at an impasse. Can you imagine tripping and falling on your face mid-magical-girl-move? That's Kaede. 5. Camelia all dolled up~! She often dons some fancy outfits when gathering intel for Yang uwu 6. A dakimakura (body pillow) design of Camelia. This was a self indulgent piece, lol 7. A celebratory drawing I did for Yang's birthday (12/12) (≧ω≦) 8. A fake game screenshot~ the background is from Piofiore. I'm not the best at blending stuff together, but I think it came out alright 9. Some Christmas art of Camelia, I actually did this on Chirstmas eve （*＾ワ＾*） 10. (Bonus) A fully shaded self portrait chibi, complete with a Yang plushie and an actual outfit of mine~ (yes I forgot to color his shoes and they turned pink bc of the background, rip) 11. (Bonus bonus) A silly quick doodle of myself with my emotional support mob boss uwu That’s it for now I guess! I think I know how to add to this post, and if I can’t figure it out I’ll just do another post, so you’ll probably see more in the future in some capacity. Please, if you’ve made it this far, tell me your favorite! Be it a piece of art or an OC in general, I’d love to hear it. Also, as a general rule, I’m not looking for criticism–these pieces are finished and can’t be edited, so it’s kinda pointless to give tips that I don’t ask for. Okay, now that’s it lol. Be well.

I completed SuperTux game.

My latest acquisition, all 70 episodes of everyone's favourite magical girl* on 10 Blu-ray disks. * other magical girls are available, but none are as cute.

Zelda Breath of the Wild Finally finished the last 2 divine Beasts and went up against Calamity Ganon... he was definitely a challenge for me. Took me 2 hours to succeed in taking him down. Zeld Tears of the Kingdom Got it when it came out but didnt download it until yesterday. Was able to play through the prologue before having to save and quit due to a busy weekend. Hoping to get back into it later today sometime.

I have seen SAO, Death Note, Naruto, Steins;Gate, Full Metal Alchemist, Angel Beats

Welcome Hope joining the community makes your anime journey more enjoyable. Interesting bits of information you provided on your background. Not sure if you’d be interested, but there’s a series I’m enjoying called Golden Kamuy that has a lot of references to the Ainu, which is an indigenous culture of Northern Japan (Hokkaido). The 4th season of the anime is currently airing & I believe the manga is ongoing.

@LeftySouthPaw Greetings and welcome to Anime Forums! Thank you for your patience

Simple Plan!

This week I finally had time to rescue "Leeory" Jenk.. I mean Kerman from orbit. Also Barhat, Bartbro, and Ferdo. Must have been rocket failure week on Kerbin. Unfortunately all rescuees were scientists and engineers when all I needed is another pilot. Oh well. Rescuing Kerbals avoids having to pay a sign-on bonus and at a current rate of 239k kerbal bucks per hire that's a savings of about $1M right there. I can probably find a use for them. I do have a contract for a science station around Minmus that requires a science module staffed by 2 scientists, and I always put an engineer aboard for the inevitable broken antennas or solar panels. They had to wait a bit for their rescue however. I have a ship design that can rescue a single kerbal from anywhere in the kerbin/Mun/Minmus system but it costs about $50k per launch. Two rescue contracts came up at once and I grabbed them both so rather than fly two identical missions I bought some tech and designed a ship that can rescue up to 6 Kerbals at a time. Reentry is a little sketchy (it needs a good pilot) and it costs about double what the single-seat version costs so Leeory et. al. had to wait a couple weeks while I gathered funds to build and lunch it. Good thing because while I was doing that the other two rescue contracts came up. Grabbed them as well and sent up Stauki Kerman as pilot .. got 'em all in one go.

The animals were playing cards in the forest, but they weren't happy because one of them was a cheetah.

All of the drawings you've done are always so awesome! Very nicely done. ^^

This feels like coming home I mean I really like it here. We all have the same interests and that to me it’s if I am surrounded by friends I didn’t have before. (honest opinion)

Small reference for my steampunk prince. I remember how to draw a little better each time I scribble him out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They were giving these out at the open house this year. Each point of interest had its own card like this describing the site. This one is for the Space Flight Operations Facility, also known as the center of the universe since it is where all the data from all of NASA’s far-flung deep space probes gets sent to be processed and then sent out to the scientists and engineers controlling them. They had a few left over so I grabbed a couple. (Front and back.)

Today I finished Clannad and started on Clannad After Story. Both parts are one of those series that have you laughing one minute and crying the next.

CPU: Intel i7 8700k GPU: Windforce OC 8GB GTX 1080 3x Fans Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z390 Aorus ELITE RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16) Cooler: NZXT Kraken x62 280mm Storage: 512GB SSD (Intel 660p) x2

I never try sao game fatal bullet ,but sounds a like worth try out.

Each to their own indeed, we all like different series, but we all like anime. That one appeared in my YouTube feed yesterday, as you say it's too cute. But on the other hand I'm not averse to a bit of cute, and word is that CR has it so I might just give it a watch.

Hellooo~ I did a bunch of cell-shaded chibi drawings of these two in the past couple of days and decided to wait to post them until I had enough for a collection! I will probably add to this thread the more art I do, these simple pieces are just so fun (＝⌒▽⌒＝) I'll start with my fav, which also happens to be my most recent. As a general rule, I'm not lookin for criticism, so please avoid that if possible. Thankie~ 1. Dancing ⌒°ʚ(ෆ❛ั ᴗ ❛ัʃƪ)ɞ♡°⌒ Here I revisited an older outfit of Camelia's that you can find in my female oc collection post! 2. Bubblebath (❁´◡`❁) I made the outline too thick on this one, but going back and fixing it would be a pain lol 3. Afternoon nap~ This was actually the first one I did and I attempted a chubbier chibi style for it! 4. Watching Fireworks ˙˚ଘo(∗ ❛ั ᵕ ❛ั )੭່˙ This one features Camelia's "canon" outfit! There will undoubtedly be more of these, so I'll probably just tack them on this post if I figure out how. Please consider following the topic to see more in the future!

These look great. I'm sure I've said this before, but it's worth saying again, you have an amazing artistic talent. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

bweh, It's been a long time since I've been online haha. Anyways hope you're all doing good!

Hey peeps! Hope you're having a great May. It'll be June already next Thursday! Not looking forward to the super HOT summer weather. It gets way too hot where I am. It's been a little warm lately but we ain't seen nothing yet!

Discovered an asteroid that had passed through the Kerbin system in KSP. Guess it's time to make a push for the NERVA nuclear engine, just in case the game throws an asteroid deflection contract my way. Those can be a pain but usually the money is worth it. Also took a couple tourists to Minmus orbit and back. (Don't knock it, the pay is good.) Things got a little (more) heated on reentry than I like but ultimately everyone made it back down safely. I think it was because I still had a bunch of fuel on board. That made the vehicle heavier so it didn't slow down much before it got to the thicker atmosphere and compressed the overall heating pulse into a shorter timespan so the peak heat (and deceleration forces) were shorter but higher. I like to keep the vehicle away from those red bars. If they fill the gauge things start exploding. You can't really tell from the pic but the parts closest to exploding were the solar panels and the batteries. At this point in the mission those have pretty much served their purpose and can be lost without much impact beyond loss of a bit of profit. The panels are stowed for reentry anyway so they're not doing anything useful. If all electrical power is lost then the reaction wheel keeping the vehicle oriented lose power and the vehicle would start tumbling, with likely disastrous consequences. On this vehicle the crew capsule also has a built-in battery that's sufficient to power the reaction wheel at least through reentry so that's not really of concern here. The thing is that most of the batteries are external and while losing the stored power per se isn't a problem, if they get too hot and explode sometimes the shock of something exploding can momentarily throw off the alignment enough that the reaction wheels can't recover in time to keep most of the vehicle "behind" the engine in terms of heating before something else gets too hot and explodes. If that something else is maybe a parachute, or a crew compartment, or if it leads to a chain reaction of explosions ... well, that would be "bad". Also, changing the external surface alters the air flow and can result in off-axis aerodynamic forces that the reaction wheel can't compensate for. Again, something else might get exposed for long enough to overheat and explode. Fortunately nothing exploded and the piloting was good thanks to the pilot Stauki (only 2 of 5 stars but one of the best I have at the moment) who managed to keep most of the vehicle behind the engine, which took the brunt of the heating. Engines can take it. So everyone landed safely and the contracted payment was received. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one, right? Collecting a paycheck is also right up there.

Welcome, @LeftySouthPaw, to Anime-Forums. I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of anime.

Hi, welcome. I do not understand your sentence:.." I’m really just looking for people who wouldn’t mind letting me gush about my fandom to them" can you please explain? Sorry not english native

I've started watching Kaina of the Great Snow Sea. It's an interesting and intriguing series set in an alien world. The background scenery is an impressive piece of world building.

Today I finished watching Clannad After Story and found it to be still as good as it was when I first watched it. However, I now have wet handkerchiefs (again!).

Thanks man!! ^^

Hey all, hope everyone is doing well! I am ready for the weekend!
