  2. Hi! I'm dirudiru. I came across this site when looking for a good old forum for anime stuff. Pretty excited to have found one Anyway, I'm 22, and come from Limburg, the Netherlands. I've been watching anime for about four years now, with my first show being Chuunibyou. My favourite types of anime are comedy, slice of life, and thrillers. Other than that, I love music, video games and astronomy. I play the guitar. Again, I'm happy to have found this place, and nice to meet you all!

  3. @Seshi @Beocat since this (kind of) came up, you still want to watch this? I'd still want to watch it. Anyone else also in?

  4. I’d recommend Magi: Kingdom of Magic, and Adventures of Sinbad. Also, Inuyasha - though it’s an older series, so you’ve probably heard of it by now.

  5. I would say Black Clover is pretty close. It's a similar shonen, with wizards on teams that go on missions. Some other shounen that might be on your radar would be Hunter x Hunter, Radiant, and the Seven Deadly Sins.

  6. I appreciate ebooks for the convenience of essentially having a library at your fingertips, and being able to read easily in the dark, but there is just something about the feeling of holding a real book that relaxes me.

  7. Here are my favorite main characters in anime. These collages are really easy to make. I'm excited to see what you guys have in mind. These collages can be about anything: your favorite anime, your favorite main characters, your favorite love interest, anything! Here's the website that I used to make mine. Have fun!

  8. There are quite a few people here who enjoy anime that are below 30 episodes from what I've heard. Can't think of any recommendation right off the top of my head but I'm sure others will have plenty. If you've got a movie that you want to share your two cents on or want to hear what others have to say, you can suggest an anime movie (now that I think about it, we never did watch that Hakuouki movie). Can't think of any question right now

  9. Not a big fan of the heat are you. I personally love the heat. I have been waiting all year for it.

  10. I prefer books over e-books. Nothing like the smell of a book and just having it in your hands. I like to be able to keep something original versus technology. I know years from now, we may not have actual books. It will be a rarity.

  15. .. but that day was FRIDAY!!!! Makes all the difference. (Unless you're working some weird schedule that makes Friday a Wednesday, or a Thursday, or even - heaven forbid - a Monday. In which case you have my sympathies. Been there, done that.)

  17. Welcome, happy to see more new members Looking at the types and of anime you enjoy, wondering if you’ve seen Aria? About a girl training to be a gondolier after Mars was terraformed to resemble the earth city of Venice. It has a very tranquil, dreamlike vibe to it and three seasons (The Animation, The Natural & The Origination). I’ll also mention a series I recently watched called Kemurikusa that reminded me a bit of HhD , having a very surreal setting. Hope you enjoy yourself here.

  18. Thanks for the welcome! I loved Chuu2, both seasons. It's really cute, with touching moments, and it looks gorgeous. I still need to watch the newest movie, though... As for video games, I mostly play (J)RPGs and shooters, with the occasional VN or strategy game. I really like the Atelier and Neptunia series, on the more "anime" side of things. The Ratchet&Clank series, Rayman Revolution and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 are long time favourites as well. I've spent a ton of time in Team Fortress 2, which is probably my favourite game overall. Thank you^^ The dry humour in HhD is fantastic, the banana episodes are probably the pinnacle of that, with their whole set up. My favourite episode of it has to be the ninth, the "Queen Watashi / Mediator" one.

  19. I do like the paper books, and I'm certainly not going to be getting rid of my library of such any time soon. That said, electron versions certainly have their useful features. Obviously there's the space advantage. 64GB is common even on phones these days, and 64GB on an e-reader is a LOT of text.. more than an unassisted human could read in a lifetime. Most of my ebooks are well under 2MB in size, so 64GB would be over 32,000 books. At one book a day, 365.25 days a year that's like 90 years of reading! Even a graphics-intensive, "full-sized" magazine or journal is around 50MB in e-form. At that rate over a century of a monthly publication would fit in 64GB. And my laptop has 10x that. (And my NAS at home more than 10x that!) There's still other advantages as well though. Of course, ordering and delivery is also extremely fast and convenient. As is searching on content. Another advantage around here is an app called Overdrive that allows one to check out ebooks from the public library online. Yet another would be Baen books' online store that offers occasional "eARCs", or electronic advanced reader copies. If you're a big fan of a certain author or series then you would probably love to have access to the raw text of the next installment straight from the author's word processor (typos and everything). That's basically what an ARC is. That sort of thing is not economical to do in paper, but pretty easy electronically. Don't get me started on e-pricing! Seriously, with hard drive space and bandwidth costs as low as they are prices of the electronic versions of things ought to be single-digit percentages of the physical forms. There is simply no excuse for charging anywhere near the same price when the profit margins are 10x as high for an ebook compared to the paper versions. I mean, marginal costs approach zero for the electronic versions. It costs basically the same for a company to sell 100 copies of an ebook as to sell 100 thousand. Quite a bit different than printing, warehousing, shipping, etc. of traditional paper versions. If you buy a hard-copy of a book then you ought to get the e-version basically for free. Some nominal cost that covers server electricity and maintenance for the electronic version would be acceptable, but certainly not the full price of the physical version! But of course as you say, usually you don't get both electronic and print versions. In fact, if you want both versions then you usually have to pay the same price twice! That's ludicrous! I have the same issues with other digital content such as music or videos. Even so I'd be ok with it if the "extra" money were actually going to the authors/artists. Unfortunately, 99 times out of 100 it isn't. E-pricing is a total rip-off as far as I'm concerned.. for both the artists and the consumers.

  20. I really enjoyed your submission, @Muco. I'll most likely vote for it tomorrow. I'm thinking of making an AMV, since I can't think of any summer-based AMVs off of the top of my head.

  22. How about Hakuouki Movie 1: Kyoto Ranbu Synopsis: Chizuru Yukimora has come to Kyoto looking for her father, a dr. Who has gone missing. While there, she witnesses a fight between an Oni and the Shinsengumi. Taking her into custody, the Shinsengumi debates on what to do with her while they discover she is the daughter of the doctor whom they are also looking for. There the adventures begin.
