Konnichiwa Minna-san! It's been a long time and since I'm back for the time being I recorded a song from K-On which is Fuwa fuwa Time! Hope you like it https://vocaroo.com/i/s1XDH3lX8aGu

About to test out Project Fi with a Verizon Samsung S8+. Hopefully, things work out well.

Feel free to ask Optic anything... ... I don't bite! Also don't report AF issues/feedback here, use the proper section for that.

Hello, I'm Dekumyhero! If you couldn't tell by my name My Hero Academia is my absolute favorite anime of all time! Close behind it is Naruto and Beyond the Boundary. I discovered anime around 5th grade and have loved it ever since. I'm glad that there's a website like this where fellow otakus and weebs can get together just to talk about anime, it's just really cool ya know? lol. Anyway, my favorite genres are anything to do with action, fantasy, romance, and mystery. My favorite animes, besides the ones I mentioned above, are SAO, Soul Eater, Noragami, Your Lie in April, Kamisama Kiss, Wolf Girl and Black Prince, Nanbaka, Charlotte, Luck and Logic, and many, many others. I look forward to meeting you all! Sincerely, Dekumyhero

Let's talk about a hot button topic those in my circles have been discussing as of recently. Fanservice. That's right I want to know what your thoughts on it are. From just a little ecchi to outright softcore/hardcore what is your take on it and why. Do you feel that it adds entertainment value? Does it detract from the overall enjoyment? I have my ideas on it but am reserving voicing them for now. Cheers!

hey everybody! ~ I happen to have an extra crunchyroll guest pass laying around but nobody in mind to give it to, so I figured that someone around here could hopefully get some use out of it instead of letting it go to waste. (for those of you who don't know, a guest pass allows you to have 48 hours of premium access to crunchyroll) I know it's not much, but I wanted to give back to this super awesome community who have been nothing but kind and amazing. ~ ＼(^-^)／ so, to make this fair, leave a comment who your best girl/waifu is and i'll randomly choose someone tomorrow night to give it to! don't worry, your answers won't affect your chances of being chosen, just thought it would be fun (unless ur best girl is emilia, then u are wrong bc REM IS BEST GIRL. just kidding .. maybe)

Personally as a girl, I really think they're kind of irrelevant. In my own humble opinion (which do not intend to offend anyone of all sorts) , I think fan service is somewhat a way of saying that "Let's hype all the fan service since the only people watching anime are men." If some male fan service are offered I might change my mind If people want fan service that much then maybe the producers could put some fan service bombs on OVAS like some animes do and stay away from the main flow of the anime. It gets out of hand sometimes which kind of distracts the viewers from the main plot of the anime. But if the anime is mainly an ecchi then that's not issue. Ecchi lives for fan service *ecchi queen before* lol ~

Thanks for the follow oh and now looks like I'm not the oldest here anymore

There was a bug where topic pagination wasn't working without refreshing) on the new themes - oops.. now fixed!

Episode 4 (8/10)

Oooh that's a tough one. Pizza, by just a slight margin. Supreme is my favourite pizza topping. I don't particularly have a favourite song (as it radically changes depending on my mood). I generally prefer OSTs. At the moment I am really loving the OPs and soundtrack of Knights of Sidonia. Very nail-biting and tense which suits those tense gauna / Sidonia / garde battles really well. Outside of anime, I love movie OSTs from Sci-Fi films such as Blade Runner and Tron: Legacy. Sorry, I won't disclose personal details at that level - but I will say it is from a laid back university in Perth, Western Australia.

Hahaha, well... I'm REALLY adoring Kouka more and more. Compared to Lacia, Kouka's facial expressions are so diverse and amusing... She was so yandere in E03 against Lacia, pronouncing her as "onee-sama!!" : She gave Arato scowling, disgusted looks at him... She gives Kengo cunning and manipulative looks: And now she even gives happy, cute expressions during the "motivation speeches" in E04 with those mercenaries... In all cases she is very badass with those kicks and weapon attacks of hers. I do agree the pacing is picking up, with Arato and Lacia finally getting into tactical mode.

I am older than the Internet, the Intel 8086 CPU, and Dungeons & Dragons. I had a boring childhood. (Thank god for books and science fiction.) I watched the Apollo 11 moon landing.. live. One of my earliest memories. I have two (slightly) webbed toes on my right foot. Yes, I am a good swimmer. On the internet nobody knows you're a frog. I've never owned a Windows computer. I really don't know how I managed that. Probably too distracted by other things. Commodore, old Apple - even a ][gs signed by The Woz himself, mac, linux. Yep. Been there, done all those. Bunch of handhelds too, some of which ran msdos or DOS-alikes like freedos. (Anyone remember the 100LX "palmtop"? Loved that thing.) But never Windows. Bother.. I can't think of anything else atm. Wait.. Yes! I have string in my pocket! No magic rings however. Probably for the best, all things considered.

I was so excited at the beginning too. So disappointed by the end of the first episode. Vivi, you must have a great deal of perseverance to make it to the end!

I know, right?! I started that anime so excited about the premise, and I still think the way magic was done in it is cool, but I feel the same way as you. I watched the whole thing, and suffice to say you'd be even more upset if you watched all of it.

Thanks for the follow.

ok now I'm not sure if Kouka is bad ass or just psycho yes its starting to seem interesting if not just to find out where its going but I did like episode 4 and what I think ive now figured out , or think I have

Episode 3:

I'm watching Black Bullet.

I quite like plausible minor fan service, I mean if a character gets undressed naturally or takes their top off during a boxing or fighting session and doesn't stop the pacing of the main plot - sure why not? Then you have silly fan service such as clothes destruction (*cough* Dog Days) which gets old quick. It's true a lot of fan service is oriented around female characters but male characters also get a little fan service too... Shinya Kogami from PSYCHO-PASS comes to mind as well as just about all the characters in Hakuouki. As for classification labelling, well here in Australia they're a lot stricter here compared to your PG-13 rating... all it takes is one scene to up the rating. For context, two examples below: High School DxD (MA15+) - to be expected given it's an ecchi title: GATE (Season 2) - (R18+) - I was a little surprised given most of this series was quite light-hearted at the start, but then remembered there were indeed some lewd scenes during one of the arcs:

i dont like it at all, if an anime has alot of it then ill probly loss interest :\

It's alright I guess and don't mind at times if it's on any anime but not my favorite really.

It's there. Usually I find it mildly cringeworthy. Occasionally it achieves amusing or annoying status. Most animes could easily do without it. Very rarely does it add anything significant to a story. When I do come across it I generally just ignore it. I tend to not care for the types of animes that are the worst offenders anyway (harem/romance).

For the most part, I find it obtrusive and detracting from the storylines. Oftentimes you see it in harems, where there is a set relationship between two of the characters but someone can't stop themself from squeezing someone else's titties. Yep, I just said it.The relationship between the titties girl and the main doesn't exist except to squeeze titties and annoy the main romance character. Pointless. Frustrating. Annoying. At this point, I am relieved to find shows that don't have a beach episode (straight fluff and service). Happy when I find a show where women wear clothes (scantily clad bikini armor heck no!). Truthfully, I may feel differently if it were scantily clad men (where's my speedo armor guy? The handsy woman grabbing some hunk's stuff?). But it never seems to be. ~sighs~ That being said, some anime do it well. The Girl Who Leapt Through Space for instance. Really well done. Two golden balls hahaha.... it had jokes, that actually had me laughing. Anyways, I can see where some people may like it, but for me, fanservice is usually something to roll my eyes at, not admire. It seems to be here to stay so I try to ignore it as best I can.

It probably just depends on the genre or the demographic. If it's something aimed at an older audience, I guess I could see the fanservice playing into that. Something like an adventure show aimed at like a bunch of ten-year-old kids, I don't want to see it. Then again, it depends on how it's done if I can tolerate it or not. For me, personally, though, unless it's blatantly obvious, I don't really notice it much.

I don't really like it when an anime has fanservice, so I don't watch ecchi, but I don't judge people who do. But it can really annoy me when an awesome female character, such as Lucy Heartfilia, is repeatedly used for fanservice. She is such a kickass character with a lot of depth and character development, yet she's often used as someone to ogle at.

Ok so, as someone who easily gets attached to cute female characters I will say that it sometimes adds to their "cuteness" and puts a smile on my face making me care more about them. That being said, if it is too blatantly obvious that the purpose of an entire episode was fanservice it can also become a bit annoying or cringey so I'm gonna settle on this: In my opinion fanservice can be used in a positive way if isn't going completely out of the way of the story or isn't awkwardly thrown in. Edit: It also really depends on the genre of the show. In some cases where the setting is really laid-back and the main focus at the time is friendship or something I can deal with it. It's most annoying when it is obviously out of place and feels more forced than it should.

Personally I'm not fascinated by it, I know some people are really into it and enjoy it a lot, but it doesn't get my attention and I don't even notice when something's supposed to be fanservice. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that it doesn't affect me at all.

I mean I'd be okay with it. I've never had any reason to dislike RyePotatoes at all.
