Hi, I'm a newbie here and I'm looking to find people who want to get along, exchange an interest in Amine and just maybe talk? I still do not know how this website works but maybe somebody will reply, haha. What is your favourite type of anime? What is your all time favourite MANGA? I watch anime for a long time. I'm not like a crazy obsessed fangirl but I truly love it. Sometimes I feel lost in the community, because I do not know all the meanings of some categories and tend to feel shy that I enjoy watching school themed romantic animes most of the time ( Maybe it is lame in this community?I do not know. What are your thoughts?) I have never found my place in the world but Anime really comforts me so I'm looking for some international friends

Hey guys, what are some random aweful group names you've heard of, that make you think "what made them pick this name"? A few come to mind for me: "Limp Bizkit"- Sounds like you got something that you cure with a little blue pill.. "Hoobastank" - Need I say more? This ones too easy to make fun of. "Korn"

Hello, I'm new to Anime Forums, so far this seems like a very nice place.

This is 2019 the year the movie Akira took place. Guess they were wrong about WWIII XD

I remember always thinking "Hoobastank" and "Limp Bizcut" as odd too. So is- "Toad the Wet Sprocket" "Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis" - I think I got that right? Lol. Longest/weirdest one for me. "Smashing Pumpkins" "The The".

Hello there and welcome to the forums. Good to see new members, looking forward to seeing you around here.

Hi everyone I'm new here and I'd be happy to get to know other members I love anime, I've watched many cool series and my absolute favorite is Higurashi no naku koro ni

Hey there and welcome. Looking forward to seeing you around the forum.

Hi I'm happy to be here. I love anime/manga

Hello. I’m a long-time pegasister who’d like to get into anime as well. I’m totally new to the anime scene but thought this would be a good place to get a good head start in this fandom. Everyone tells me I should start with evangelion? Idk do you guys have any anime suggestions for someone new to the fandom? As for a little about myself....I’m a college student currently residing in the sunny state of Florida, USA. I love animals so I am pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. I also love music, music producing, voice acting, and am an aspiring backyard mechanic. Don’t know if you guys heard about a place called MLP Forums. I’ve been a member there since 2016 am now a sectional moderator on that forum. Anywho...nice to meet y’all and I can’t wait to get started in anime!

Hi there and welcome. Evangelion Is a good anime to start with. Maybe try Death Note or DragonBall Z if you are starting out watching anime? Those were some of the first I enjoyed but you can probably gather a lot more ideas around the forums or on MyAnimeList.

Hey there. Welcome, enjoy your stay. Good to see new members.

Hello @Midori and welcome to the forums ^^ Hope to see you around and have a good time here

@Scarlet Thunderstormz Greetings, welcome to Anime Forums, I bid you a pleasing time.

Do you remember watching any old movies that try and set the future in a timeline that we have already been through? Some movies show the year 2,000 as being futuristic, well we’ve past that one by now, and it’s funny how different the us of the past thought the us of the future would be.

Although I'm new here but I'm really curious what is/are the reason/reasons why you watch anime? I think it is important to hear each others stories because people ( who do not understand anime) in real life most of the time think about those who watch Anime that they are like some outsiders or strange, or have some issues? You know there are a lot of stereotypes about anime lovers. Do you think it is true that anime watchers have some common characteristic or a reason behind why they spend lots of time sitting by the screen watching moving drawings ( as some people say) ? I think it would be an interesting discussion: why you watch anime, how you see yourself as a person when you love animations, manga and Japanese culture and what most popular stereotypes you've heard about US? Hope someone is willing to talk, haha. Myself, sending a lot of encouragement to all of us who love Anime and think it is beautiful art! We are cool, we are a strong and friendly community and we are not that weird haha ( sometimes..) !

Watching Demon Slayer Ep:18 - That was interesting

I’ve always been fascinated by animation in general and it’s way to create worlds that could normally exist only in imagination. Even in a realistic setting, by using a particular art style, they can create a unique mood or tone. As far as why I tend to have more appreciation for anime than other types of animation, it just seems like the Japanese have more respect for the medium and are willing to take on more varied topics. As far as culture & philosophy are concerned, it’s not unusual for me to encounter ideas I don’t actually agree with, but that doesn’t keep me from finding it interesting or entertaining. Finally, in regards to my current obsession with anime (probably to a degree that’s not entirely healthy for me :P) Without getting into details the past couple years of my life haven’t been pleasant ones. My initial motivation for getting back into anime was probably largely nostalgia & escapism. But to my surprise I keep encountering topics that really resonate with where I’ve been recently. I could give numerous examples of individual episodes or scenes, but I think the best illustration is a recent series called My Roommate is a Cat which deals with coping with grief after the death of one’s parents as an adult. But also the awkwardness/stress/annoyance of social interactions when you’re a natural introvert. And in that respect I find it therapeutic to interact online with people I have a common interest with. Thanks for your patience if you made it all the way to the end.

I’d watched the original series a long time ago, but remember very little of it. Not sure if it was because it wasn’t very good adaption or if I just wasn’t ready for it at the point in my life. Loving the new version though and glad it will apparently cover the whole story. Looks like there will be a break after September, but hopefully season 2 won’t be too long in coming.

Great idea for a topic! Neon Genesis Evangelion takes place in the year 2015, but I'm not sure it was meant to be realistic

Hello! As others have said, the community here has varied tastes, no need to feel shy or whatever. My favourite types of anime are slice of life / comedy and iyashikei. Haven't read a lot of manga yet, but I love Higurashi's one. Hope you have fun around here!

welcome to the forum. hope you have fun here. The stars will lie with you.

"Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum" is another one of those weird long ones. According to the band, it's something written in "dead languages of the Ancient East". "Iwrotehaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook" is weird, even by screamo standards. "Most Precious Blood" Slamming down random words from a pathological dictionary is a classic I actually kind of like 'Smashing Pumpkins' as a name, don't know why.

Too true. Take your time, there’s plenty to enjoy.

Thank you for all the recommendations, I will for sure watch some of them. Anime requieres a lot of time, haha

Hi, Welcome to AF! I would have to say my favorite types of anime would have to be Action Adventure Comedy Drama Fantasy Game Magic Military Music Mystery Romance Sci-Fi School My favorite manga would be Fairy tail: 100 year quest. Hope you enjoy your time here

Waves and hello

Me talking to my friends who don't watch anime

Yeh.

Hi! I am new to this forum and I've just started watching anime ~2 months ago. Really looking forward to meeting new friends here!

I love to watch anime obviously and I'm actually planning on starting a youtube channel about anime, My waifu was Ryuko Matoi but after I learned of Himiko Toga my mind is scrambled!

Hello there and welcome to our forums. Looking forward to seeing you around.

Hey there and welcome. Hope to see you around enjoying yourself on the forums.

Oh Evangelion is one of my fav anime ,do you have a fav genre and welcome to af from.Nova the ghostly potato

Hi and welcome to the forums @Scarlet Thunderstormz ! Hope you enjoy your time here and if you need anything or have questions feel free to send me a message~! ^^

I have to sit this one, since I'm visiting family this weekend (uh...they live in the country and the Internet's slooooow and my sis pays for it by hours or something...) I forgot I was heading their way. I'm going to keep an eye on this thread though for more screenings :3

Older anime are the best only a few good ones really interest me plus romance genre is my fav

Hi there @shion_2907, welcome to our little space. I'm sure you'll have no problem making friends here. Have fun!

Hi there, so what's your experience been so far? I always wondered what it must be like to start watching as an adult.

You can watch it at: https://go.discovery.com/tv-shows/shark-week/full-episodes/extinct-or-alive-the-lost-shark If you scroll down you'll see "AVAILABLE FULL EPISODES" and you can watch the new shows for free I believe as they come out - I wasn't signed into my TV account while trying this - They currently have the new episodes that aired yesterday on there. There's some more additional programming at: https://go.discovery.com/tv-shows/shark-week/ You can also watch it on: Hulu Live TV. YouTube TV - apparently viewers watching Shark Week on YouTube will be receiving a special Shark Week Easter egg show Playstation Vue - Which is currently offering a 5 day free trial. Philo - Has the cheapest subscription cost and Discovery is in its line-up.

Yeah I honestly don't watch too much of Discovery or NatGeo anymore. Shark Week is almost about it. Other channels seem to have better programming these days.

It's really nice and easy to use. I use it quite often to watch TV shows and movies with my online friends. Hopefully would be able to stream for several hours so that more people would have time to stop in since I know everyones schedules are so different. Yeah I thought I could do this on a few different days for a week, for several hours, so that people could have a wider span on time to stop in and hopefully get to chat with each other and just have a nice time.

I enjoy a lot of these animal and wilderness shows too. Shark Week is one in particular I look forward to since it's a re-occuring thing every year ^^ The celebrity part doesn't interest me much, I'm pretty sure they just do that for views but the programming is mostly interesting and overall pretty educational.

For anyone that may be interested, they are also giving away a free Shark Diving trip every single night this week and you are eligible to win by tweeting #SharkAfterDark #Sweepstakes in your tweets

You can probably find it on their website. I know if you visit their Facebook page "Shark Week" they have a lot of information up there too. I just love anything shark related and this is one of my favorite Summertime traditions to watch ^^

Sometimes when I'm alone, I like to dress up in all brown and lay on the floor pretending I am a potato.

47 Meters Down. @above: i didn't sniff glue but I licked chalk.

Nope I am currently watching a movie though. Did you know you can put a light bulb in your mouth but you can't take it out without it breaking?

Everything makes sense now. @above: hallo. Did you sniff glue as well? Lmao
