Finished Dorohedoro season 2, what a gut punch of an ending Glad they already announced season 3, hope we don’t have to wait for more than a year. Gonna try to finish up Agents of the Four Seasons & Akane Banashi today, start Re:ZERO’s latest season tomorrow.

Animé LA in Long Beach has got to be straight vibes. It sounds pretty cool

Binge watching a new anime :))

It worked well as a stand-alone novel, but considering how Sanderson seems to tie all of the Cosmere together, it's not entirely surprising. I'll probably have to re-read it when new ones come out, it's been so long. Have you read any of Sanderson's other books? I picked up Tress of the Emerald Sea, so that'll probably be my next one to read. Only a couple chapters in.

Some possibilities Fantasy/Isekai: Dororo • Scrapped Princess • The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat • The Faraway Paladin • The Eminence in Shadow • Clevatess • Demon Lord 2099 • Sentenced to be a Hero • The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic • The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs • Tsukimichi Romcom: Dealing With The Mikadono Sisters is a Breeze • Recovery of an MMO Junkie • Makeine •Tomo-chan is a Girl

I might need to go in and give it a try!

SPACEBALLS THE MOVIE TICKET

Currently making my way through The Summer Hikaru Died. Quite a good pick if you're into Lovecraftian and psychological horror (these are not spoilers, by far the most "present" Lovecraftian element of the narrative is revealed as such in the first five minutes and much of the psychological horror flows out from that overt element).

just curious, I finished it a few weeks ago and I just wanted to say I absolutely loved it

try my list. i will think you like most

Heyy. My name is Hunter, I'm new here. It's nice to meet everybody!!!

Hi Hunter, it's nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum!

You hang around bars until someone knocks you out and forces you to sign a contract.

Watching series that are too similar to each other especially during the same season makes it too easy to confuse which events took place in which series. Besides I need some CGDCT & moe content to balance out my mood after sone of the darker, bleaker, more violent series. Increasingly though a series needs to make some sort of positive (not ambivalent) impression on me in the first couple eps or I set it aside for future consideration if I can’t find anything else to watch.

Mostly spent the first half of today reading the last couple hundred pages of a novel I've been reading through on-and-off for the last couple of weeks (Sons of Darkness by Gourav Mohanty, if you're curious). Quite enjoyable, though I've no idea when I'll find time for the sequel.

Just started up the second volume of Witch Hat Atelier, which yes, was motivated by the anime's first season conclusion (on a massive cliffhanger, no less!). Coco is somehow even more endearing on-page than she is on-screen.

Just finished up Fractale, which I thought was all right. I enjoyed it well enough, but the chance I'll ever watch it again is extremely low. Picked up Last Exile to replace it, and I'm having a great time. Hopefully this continues throughout the entire show.

It has its moments. Basically a SoL romcom but most of the characters are genius-level misfits and it has some serious bits as well. I thought it was worth the watch. I heard it is very hot over there!

ee cummings is absolutely sensational!!

ALWAYS! haha

Whats a good slice of life anime that just has goofy & relateable humor & does not take it self too seriously. just want to branch out from just the normal Lucky Star & Azumanga Daioh binge.

Recommended to study to mostly help get into the industry.

First, three big lots of money; generally, it's still possible to find some places at a lower price. What type of price range are you looking into?

Got a deal on an 8K (3840x2160) display. One of those TCL “smart” things. Used but of known provenance (from a workmate) and currently hooked to my new computer for “testing”. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Watching an 8K YouTubie and …

some of you recommeded sushi and ramen, and for a Japanese deeply in love with Japanese food and culture, I can't agree anymore. But I also recommend you to try Japanese omurice, with the cut-open fried egg on top of rice, often used with Japanese curry sauce. Its my comfort food ever since I was a kid.

old but gold

Snack time!

Got a new set of battery cables for one of my solar batteries the other day but I don't like the connectors on them. The ones that came on the cable are aluminum and the bolt hole is too large for the battery's terminal bolts. As a result the metal around the hole - the part that actually connects with the battery terminal and carries the power - is too thin for my comfort. So I'm replacing the lugs on the cable with ones that are a bit more substantial. Mine are solid copper and larger overall but with a bolt hole of the proper size for the battery's bolts. More importantly the surface area for contact with the battery terminal is much greater. The same power going through more metal means less resistive heating and a cooler connection.

Egg and cheese sandwich on toast for lunch. I might have put a bit too much Tapatío on it though.

Sounds like you really enjoy fantasy anime with strong power systems and good visuals, especially when they mix action with a bit of darker revenge themes. Which character or power system in “Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon” impressed you the most?

I have taken my interest in mangas once again after years of temporarily deciding to move on from them, thinking it should be just something that I was so fond in my childhood. Little did I know how much mangas have nurtured my creative side. Lately I have been reading Vampire Knight again all from the start (yes, the one with the scandalous incest themed manga) which was one of my favorites back then in my junior high school (around 2008). I didn't get to finish the series because at some point of waiting for the next volumes to be published, I kinda dropped and jumped on other bandwagons of so many more fresher, strongly-developed series like Gakuen Alice, etc,... To be honest, the only reason has compelled me to come back to pick up Vampire Knight where I left off is to be able to experience first-hand how morally unsettling this serious is. Besides, I still love the super sharp, defined, striking and mesmerizing art style of Matsuri Hino. I think the highschool me still has a soft spot for the manga that aesthetically captured my heart back then.

While I'm not afraid to die, I do still have people I need to keep myself alive for. So, I don't live for myself. Accidents and the unexpected fatal injuries happen though. So do heart attacks. Even so, I feel my big sister's presence every second that I'm awake, so I know there's an afterlife. Like the Blue Oyster Cult song says: "don't fear the reaper." because there are worse things that can happen other than death to someone. Personally I consider death to be a release from the pain of the living world, but, as I said, I've still got people I need to keep myself alive for. My life isn't just my own, my friends and family would be sad and heartbroken if I did anything to myself like anything suicidal. I used to be very much suicidal, but now I've found a solid group of friends and my family would mourn me. So, I've kind of woken up to the reality that suicide is very much a selfish act.

This is where I'll display my GFX projects since I rarely draw and am far too self-conscious about what I draw to actually take a picture of them and show them. Anyways~ here are my first projects in accordance with the new image size requirements in a Signature. ^^ Since I've picked up Final Fantasy VIII on Switch again I thought I'd make a new set in accordance with the new Signature limits. Seifer x Ultimecia which are my favorite Sorceress and Knight. @Myouya, does the avatar have to be a certain size or is anything under 1.49MB ok? I only ask now because of the new maximum image size limit in Signatures. Good choice, btw.

Unfortunately not a lot, we only get comic con once a year :((

What's even worse is that now AI images are being used to illustrate fake news stories and even create fake news programmes.

Ai takes from legitimate artist and steals their work so I can't say I'm a fan. I don't think you can "Claim" ai art as your own either, since you didn't do anything but input a few words and that's not art. I'm tired of seeing AI art at this point and most of the faces give me the creeps.

Cracker

There's a big one here that I'm going to near my house soon ~ that's the only one I know of so far though I'm trying to go to anime MidWest this year but since I'm going on a cross country road trip with Zari over the Summer, I don't know if we'll be in the area at the time of it.

Bean dip. Crazy amounts of bean dip. This is my third can of bean dip this week and I don't know what's wrong with me.

The last thing I drank was lemon Brisk iced tea.

Nope.

Just started watching My Hero Academia’s final season & it has been absolute FIRE

I don't know what you want from me I'm not a food critic lmao Fine, here. I'll sound like one of those stuffy posh foodie types: Coconut pocky is a confectionery marvel that straddles the line between playful indulgence and refined delicacy. One is first drawn in by its elegant presentation: each slender biscuit stick, crisply baked to golden perfection, is enrobed in a silken layer of creamy white chocolate infused with the mellow sweetness of coconut. The outer layer is generously adorned with delicate shavings of toasted coconut, lending not only a gentle crunch but also a deeply aromatic whisper of the tropics. Each bite offers a harmonious balance between the earthy, nutty warmth of coconut and the subtle vanilla undertones of the white chocolate. The biscuit itself remains unfailingly crisp, and there is an understated elegance in its simplicity — no flourish too bold, no note out of place. Coconut Pocky doesn’t scream for attention; it invites you, rather, to pause and savor — a rare quality in the world of confections. In sum, this is not merely a snack, but a thoughtfully orchestrated moment of pleasure — the kind best enjoyed with tea, a quiet view, and a touch of gratitude.

Without Jases bravery none of us would have ever known that

We just had anime Midwest here where I live. It's always held in Rosemont which is not far from where I live but I didn't go this year because I've had bad experiences there before. There's another con coming in August I'm going to.

It's due to arrive on Saturday so we'll see.

on god also don't bring my brother Jesus into a anime debate. Unless your asking who would win on a 2 v 1 being Goku and saiki k vs Anime Jesus. then the fight would go like this Goku - goes mui saiki k- takes off glasses Jesus - doens't turn into stone saiki k - confused about why he can't control or turn him into stone Jesus -laughs and smiles and looks saiki k straight into the eyes and says You have no power against me especially such a weak attack and Jesus instantly after telling saiki k that he has no power against him he then beats the crap out of him without even moving a single muscle . sending saiki k to heaven Goku - Says finally a worthy opponent to test my strength against . Jesus - looks at Goku and says go all out my child and remember God loves you . Motions Goku to go all out on him Goku - rushes and gets ready to try and go for an instant win ] Jesus - smiles and says sorry but this is the end and Instantly sends goku to heaven Jesus - man i'm glad the believed in me and my word and this is proof that no anime or even the strongest people can even leave a scratch on me . Jesus - smiles and goes back to heaven WInner Jesus Christ your lord and savior

Goku = raw power, skills, and abilities (Instant Transmission), among others. While Saiki has a lot of formidable abilities, he's not in the same league. Goku would likely hold back until things got real, and then he would just beat the living dog dookie out of bro.

Has anyone ever watched Elfen Lied? Red hair girl named Lucy who is psychic and has horns on her head? Kills people for fun? This is probably one of the most violent anime shows I've ever seen with tons of nudity. Its a fun watch. Just wondering if anyone else has watched it.
