Greetings, and welcome to AF! I hope you have a good time here~

Yeah, I wasn't really a fan. Watched the first season in English on Netflix a few years back. Needless to say, I was not impressed. At the anime con I go to every year, it was all the buzz. Even had two voice actors at a panel raving about how they had the hots for Ban. It was just....not for me. I have many problems with the anime. Part of it is the Meliodas/Elizabeth thing...I honestly can't call that fan service. Fan service is usually ecchi for the sake of comedy...that is just perverted stalker creep. Makes me think of a nasty guy in a van doing the dirty to himself while fantasizing about the schoolgirl he's stalking. It just grosses me out. I call that creep service. Another part is the story just really isn't there. It's definitely Shounen which isn't my thing to begin with (I have enjoyed some in the past) but a lot of the fighting, especially between Meliodas and Ban is pointless. Then, Ban. I'll get hate for this but he's really not.....all that..... I think his real appeal to most women is his undying loyalty to "his true love" but their love story wasn't really that endearing and he isn't that deep of a character. Then the story...didn't really grab me. I know some people like it. Takes all kinds of kinds. I just have a different set of standards for the anime I watch these days.

Welcome!

Hey, I'm new here! Just popping in because I was looking for a place full of like-minded people. This looked promising, so I thought I'd give it a try! Nice to meet you all :)

Continuing the trend of anime movies getting US releases, Weathering With You is coming to a local theater on January 15th & 16th. Looks amazing, but ironically “weather” is kinda unpredictable this time of year, so gonna wait till closer to time to decide whether to buy tickets (showings are weekday nights so shouldn’t sell out) https://www.fathomevents.com/categories/anime

Yeah, I enjoyed Rise of Skywalker enough to watch it twice. Which is saying something...Disney definitely made some leaps with it but it was enjoyable. I'm an old time OG Star Wars fan and I was able to enjoy it. On another note, Jumanji and Knives Out were both really good too.

For those subscribing to Crunchyroll or VRV it apparently got an early release today https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2020/01/02-1/somali-and-the-forest-spirit-episode-1-debuts-on-crunchyroll-a-week-ahead-of-japan I’ll have to check it out this evening.

Agreed but Hellsing Ultimate. Shiki is also really good.

I have decided to leave it. Can’t seem to get into it, it’s too pervy for me. I am going to watch Your Lie in April instead

Greetings. Perhaps we may be well acquainted later; perhaps we have a few similar interests. Welcome.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this gem. Ladies and gentlemen, I present Hellsing.

Eilrahc? Sorry, I’m dyslexic. Kidding. Welcome to the forums

It's Dracula spelled backwards! Just kidding, welcome to A-F, have fun and enjoy your stay.

Definitely looking forward to more My Hero Academia; still binge watching it, though. I've let my schedule go somewhat awry - something to focus on I guess! Otherwise, I'm not quite sure... I suppose Haikyu!!: To the Top might be good, but guess I'll see

Thank you!

There is always one anime that really stands out to you, that really makes a difference to you. There's always one show that you want everybody to watch and love just as much as you do (if not more). That show for me is Steins;Gate. I remember a few years ago, a friend recommended this show for me to watch. I was still relatively new to watching anime and my taste in shows was, what i would consider now, rather lame. Even then, I was mesmerized by this show. It dragged me in and completely hooked me from episode 1. Since then, I have watched this show countless and countless of times, it never losing its appeal. It still makes me cry, gives me goosebumps, and puts me on the edge of my seat. I catch new things I missed in previous watchings almost every time I rewatch it. I feel that Steins;Gate is so underappreciated and not nearly as popular as it should be. There must've been so much thought and time put into creating such a complete masterpiece. It really delves deep into topics not usually presented in anime and takes it above and beyond what I would have expected. Steins;Gate is originally a visual novel game that was later adapted into an anime. I didn't play the actual visual novel till years later after I had already rewatched the show a few times. The visual novel, obviously, is much more complex and explains things in a much deeper way. OKAY, so, you are all probably wondering.. "What is it even about Rini?" Well, don't worry! I will explain that now!! Steins;Gate takes place in Akihabara, Japan following the story of main character Okabe Rintaro (whom likes to be called "Hououin Kyouma!"). Okabe is a self proclaimed 'mad scientist' who runs his own lab with two friends Mayuri and Daru. There he creates tons of mostly useless experiments. One day, however, he accidentally steps into territory that should not be stepped in. He accidentally creates a time machine. Given the opportunity to stop research or continue, he continues. This glorious anime sheds light as to what the horrors of time travel would be and what it could lead to. It makes use of the Butterfly Effect, separate world lines, etc. As you follow Okabe through this intense story-line, you watch as he descends into TRUE madness (not his self proclaimed madness). I cannot stress enough how incredible of a show this is. It can be a tad slow at the start, but it really sets off around episode 12 or so and it's nonstop from that point on. I want more people to give this show the chance it deserves, as its just entirely underrated.

Haha! I get that a lot; it's my username for a lot of things. Look at it closer, maybe. Perhaps read it backwards? ;)

Hi there! People here are great and obviously enjoy anime I'm curious, what does your username mean?

I have always wanted an electric violin, as pictured below. I have no idea how it works, but I'd love to find out. I think it would make recording very easy to do, since it does not require a microphone like a normal violin.

Oh right, this too, i doubt i can do this in 2020, but i also kind of wanna learn how to play some instruments Being the piano and violin

Now that I think of it, I really want to record more music and make a YouTube channel as well, maybe a sound cloud. I have all the gear and equipment I need (except for cameras, but I want to focus on audio production anyway and not video). Between work and school, I barely ever even feel like going to the gym, much less actually recording.

My goals for 2020 issss 1.) Pass my licensure examination this time [main goal that is stopping me from doing other goals i want] 2.) Make my dream projects come true [make a video game, maybe start YT channel] 3.) Lose weight, same as your's, im 80kgish last i checked (which was when i donated blood), and its the right weight for my BMI, but i feel i can still lose weight And while on the process of losing weight, gain some muscles, to pull of cosplays 4.) Cosplay on next cosmania event (which is april-ish if im not mistaken ?) Those are my only goals for 2020, bonus points if other fun stuff happens in 2020 Just gotta pass my licensure exam, to actually start my other dreams thoooo

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

Hi there! My friend recently just married someone from Poland, and I really found your language interesting. I always wondered why you had so many consonants together, but it turns out many are single sounds (like rz being a single sound). Anyway, is anime popular in Poland?

Greetings, and welcome to the forum~! I used to play paintball too, had to quit for various reasons though. Never played airsoft but it seems like it would be a blast from some videos I have watched~

Some possibilities: Familar of Zero (4 seasons) Dragonar Academy Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero Sekirei (2 seasons) Freezing (2 seasons)
