Hello everyone! I just wanted to pop in and let you know to check the little box called "themes" down in the left hand corner. We've just added some new ones to the mix. Be on the lookout for more updates and exciting news. Especially looking forward to sharing our Halloween themes with you this year. Lookout! They'll be coming to haunt you soon

I made this before current names are Mint and Toffee

catching up on attack on titan season 2 and 3 thats been in my watch later list forever

Done. I call it, Default Dark. and its super duper original

Speaking of - one of the things I was bummed about when selecting the dark theme is that it still has some design elements (the gif header) in it. I'd rather have one that's just plain without the graphic header that's dark, and I know IPS has one of these readily deployable. Shouldn't be a major project to add either, if someone could add that to the list.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear This is one of Japan's top selling anime, with 5 seasons, over the course of the past 7 years. Season 3 was #1 in sales for its season, while season 4 was ALSO #1 in sales for its season. AND season 3 beat ONE PUNCH MAN for the ENTIRE YEAR. And it isn't popular in the absolute bloody slightest outside of Japan. I'm confused too, don't worry. But if you want one of the best hype action shows of the decade, Symphogear is for you. It does damn near everything that people love about shounen action shows, except it does them far better than most actual shounens, despite Symphogear not actually being a shounen. AND it's a fucking musical. Didn't see that coming, did you. It ain't cutesy, it lives off of the rule of cool and more or less can't go more than 5 minutes without something exploding or it dies, with music that's about as cool as that whole concept is. Watch this scene, and witness our beloved main character parry tank shells with her bare fists. https://streamable.com/s/fs4vl/qkmkei Watch Order: Symphogear (a bit rough, don't judge the show based on this season. Still good, just not peak Symphogear.) Symphogear G (This is where Symphogear actually starts to shine, and it stays that way. A shitty side studio fucked up the first season, so they fired them and swapped out 90% of the staff and you're left with a season that's vastly superior to the first in absolutely every god damn way you could ever expect. Get. To. This. Season.) Symphogear GX (It got even prettier.) Symphogear AXZ (The animation got better.) Symphogear XV (Airing right now, and is really turning out to be a proper culmination and finale of 7 years of a franchise.) OOOOO Now that you've been so heartily informed of the best show ever, I'd love to hear what any of you think of it. First impressions based on this thread maybe, or impressions from you going to watch it! It's my favourite show by a mile, so I assure you I'm more than willing to chat your ear off about it, and if you aren't impressed by it... well, leave it to me

I usually have a form for these sort of things but I have since lost my usual images that contain all my rules and regulations for requests so I'm going to give the text version for now and potentially update later. I also don't have any examples not that I'm a big fan of putting examples in an opening and rather prefer the filled requests to simply fill that role, but I'm currently living in boxes with my primary computer in one of those boxes, the image hosting site I used to use went by the wayside and I don't like putting everything on Deviant Art for reasons. First off let me say I am but a humble image editor and by that I mean I won't be drawing any original characters or poses for characters so I'm offering backgrounds, blends, and tweaks. Until I see what kind of business this shop gets we'll limit it to one request at a time. I typically try for a turn around of under a week pending on my real life schedule as I do this as a method to kill some free time rather than as a priority. As mentioned later cutting out a character takes a longer and even if you are higher in the queue your request may take longer to fill as I can only stand cutting out a character for so long at a time. When I fulfill requests generally more information the better, I'm about as creative as a rock by default and it gets worse if I don't know the character in question. I have a preference to avoid using what I call collage resources by default this includes the use of C4Ds, Fractals, Pre-made backgrounds, Pre-made brushes and prefer to use the character itself to create the background which helps match color schemes and vary the pieces, but I will use the mentioned resources upon requests for instance if you simply want a character blended to another image that'd be fine. C4D style images tend to be the most popular style and the most requested in my past shops and I have a fair supply of them on hand at any given time irregardless of my feelings toward their use. By default unless otherwise specified I use a widescreen style border. To request a signature I need the following: 1) Character - Image would be preferable to get the pose you want, but the name of a character is fine. *The caveat is if the character has a background in the image it's going to take a longer time as I'll have to remove the current background and in cutting out an image they will need to be of a decent size to make a decent cut. Additionally if the character is cut off anywhere in the selected image they will remain cut off, while I can compensate somewhat for a cut off image if it's missing a large chunk of it's going to be that much harder and trying to match large pieces missing from the character will be too difficult to match accurately.* 2) Text - I don't like text personally, but if you want it to say anything it should go without saying I need to know what you want it to say. *You can also add the text yourself if you want or take it elsewhere to have text added I don't care* Optional adds: 1) Style - An image in the style you'd like would be better than a description. I've had moderate success mimicking certain looks, but do note I make no promises when attempting a copy as I'd be simply eyeballing something and guessing how they made it. *Certain styles may have specific requirements of the character used in them to match most accurately* 2) Color Preference - I'm willing to gear an image towards a specific color scheme if possible this would also be where you include if you want an image in sepia tone, black and white, or color splash (For instance if you just want certain aspects of the image a certain color most commonly used for eyes and light aspects matching the eye color) 3) Size - I default to a 500 x 200 canvas with the end result typically being cropped in some way shape or form to 450 x 150, I much prefer a smaller canvas, but am willing to go larger if need be. 4) Font - I'm willing to download specific fonts if they're from a reputable and free to use site. Usage Policy: I don't care if you visibly credit me or where you use it if using it offsite all I ask is if they ask where you got it you refer them back to me. Edit Policy: I am willing to edit requests if something is a bit off with a few exceptions: 1) If the bare minimum information was giving in the initial request and you're looking for something specific after the fact it'll be treated as a new request not an edit. 2) If you want a complete turn around from what you initially requested it will be treated as a new request not an edit. 3) If the amount of edits starts becoming extremely large I'm more likely to simply recommend you look elsewhere or try a new request instead of continuing to edit the request. ***Important Notes*** I am over 18 and am not a prude, I will take requests involving TASTEFUL nudity (we'll call that ruling anything that isn't okay in an R-rated movie at worst) however these requests should only be made via pms. If requesting a character from a hentai or like material you must include the TASTEFUL image and ONLY the tasteful image again via PMs. Whilst I'm not against tasteful images that doesn't mean I want to go searching for them to try to find an acceptable image either. I will censor the aforementioned tasteful images by removing details that are expressly forbidden by MAL for example, but I do not guarantee doing so will make them appropriate for use there or here (This forum has a no R18 policy) and am not responsible should you attempt to use them anywhere and get into trouble with the staff, that argument is between you and the staff wherever it may be. You do not have to feel obligated to use a result you end up not liking, I won't be offended, but if you know you don't like my work don't make a request. Please no blanket requests (requesting the same thing here as you're requesting in other shops), this is both for me and out of respect for others who take the time to fill the request. I DO NOT usually do animations as requests, these are largely time consuming, I don't really enjoy doing it and they are frequently complicated when they're attached to requests so as a general rule I just say DO NOT expect animation if however you want to include a request for a simple animation I may include it, but do not expect it.

Hi all. Compared to most of you, I’m pretty new to anime. I watched my first anime, Naruto, about 4 years ago. Since then I’ve just watched/read whatever in between school, work and games. I’m probably out of my depth here, so forgive me if my lack of knowledge is painful! Anyway, thanks!

To be totally honest, the only time we enjoy Baki to some extend is if we’ve had a puff (weed). But seeing as how that happens less than even once a week, you can bet we’re not getting through it very fast haha. Oh man, Sailor Moon is so fun to rewatch. We both get super hyped during the episodes and generally just have a lot of fun while watching. I can’t control myself though whenever Mercury does her Bubble Spray and I will shout, “Bubble Butt!!!” instead.

I've seen many weird things on twitter but this one is pretty hilarious. stands for boobs.

This is really good if I do say so.

Hello there and welcome to AF hope you have a great time here with us. Nothing wrong with being new to anime plenty of great suggestions as well as info on the subject here. See you around/

I just checked them out they look great in particular the fruits basket one. I like the the plain basic one.

No game, unless you want to count the crappy mobile game, or that one time the main trio was tossed into Super Heroine Chronicles, which I'm not gonna count lmao Purely an anime original series, fueled by the creators actually wanting to make the thing lol

*nomz happily*... Thanks... :3

Sorry to have been on radio silence this week (military jargon in honor of The Jacket); my interwebs have been on the fritz. But I have returned!!!!!!!!

Einstein, Newton, and Pascal are playing hide and seek. It’s Einstein’s turn to count so he covers his eyes and starts counting to 10. Pascal runs off and hides. Newton draws a one meter by one meter square on the ground in front of Einstein and stands in the middle of it. Einstein reaches 10 and uncovers his eyes. He sees Newton immediately and exclaims, “Newton! I found you! You’re it!” Newton smiles and replies, “No, you found a Newton over a square meter. You found a Pascal!” (This is the kind of thing I have to put up with at work. The offending party has been dealt with. )

Pokes you

Everyone needs to start somewhere. Hopefully some folks here can make the journey more enjoyable for you. Looks like you’re mainly into shonen. I recommend the currently airing Kimetsu no Yaiba & catching up on My Hero Academia in preparation for season 4 starting in October

....*Chaotic smile* Fuell for the fire, I see... *Muhahahahha!* (Naa, tea is tea. I will not allow myself to slander one on anything to do with tea. it wouldn't be very British of me otherwise )

Dunno which are new and which are old, but cycling through them several of them don't change anything for me. And some of them make it particular hard to see text in the titles and on background at least for me like the Sailormoon theme.

I drink my black tea with a touch of milk as well I must mention however that my inner tea snob is deeply offended by the use of the words herbal tea and green tea within the same mentioning. Since green tea is tea in its purest form without fermentation (minimal) and black tea is simply fully fermented tea leaves. They each deserve the same “tea” honorific. Herbal “teas” however are not true teas, and are in a different category. Whew! *exhales* that’s over now

Never a problem! I'll try and get the comic/manga style narrative done after game characters, so it may be a little while, but will definitely be done :3 still, if you find you need any more help, always happy to oblige! ^-^

Yeah! I'm definitely a first timer in this area, I'm thinking Izaya from durarara would be pretty simple and one I'd really have fun with. I'd only need a wig and maybe contacts, I'm sure I could scavenge a jacket similar to his pretty cheap if I looked. That's awesome! I'll definitely look into the cosplay forum for sure, and I hope to run into to you there as well!

I just recently watched it as well. There's kind of a debate going on here The ending was a bit unusual. I still don't get why they did two of them which were basically the same. As far as I got it and remember it, it is tied to a buddhist/abrahimic view of what will happen after everybody dies but yeah, to get back on topic, I don't think we are quite at the end of the world yet.

Hi! Thanks for the welcome, I responded to Nova earlier as well but it's still not posted because it needs to approved by the moderator or something, oh well, it's no biggy... As I said in that reply, I was looking into some characters from bnha or durarara!! Maybe Pidge from Voltron. I'm on a pretty tight budget atm so im not sure what to invest in.

Nova Haunted people list lol jk more like dear friends of mine @Seshi, @Sakura, @The History Kid, @Xyro, @Endynyp, @Sasuke More to come soon

I’ve tried the mineral rock deodorant- doesn’t quite work for me. Maybe I’ll give it another try during different seasons and see if it can last in different weather.

Feeling like a clutz, Sofia begins to stand, shaken trying to see who she'd just tripped over. The boy was an upperclassman, who apologetically rushed off to join his two friends standing round the other side of the stair case... One of them had a familiar air about him, they seemed to be carrying the same bags around. Precariously placed soccer uniforms protruding from the too small satchels. In a rush, Sofia realized that she was still running late for class... and inside she stumbled. Still feeling sick from the realization that she was going to be doing a concert all too soon. Ugh... Cant this just be over already. The classes were always the same... Some math, science, and mundane literature, she'd sit back and pretend not to notice the teachers eyes on her, not willing to be called on... But then when it came to home economics... She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Home ec was a mixed class, where she'd meet all of her friends around the table once again for a delightful bout of cooking. Once there, it was their last class of the day, she'd normally get to walk home with Kagura. It felt good to have these friends. Class began: A short, plump woman headed this class. Her name was Mrs. Yami, she spoke in a tender voice, but we all knew she could become loud and in charge should she need to. "This week, to go along with our Green Tea Appreciation theme, we will be making tea cookies. Please take some time with your classmates, and determine which types of cookies you would like to make for today's project".
