I had a similar ponder about vegetarianism and the meat industry when I first started watching Seraph of the End. Sadly the show didn't really explore the aspect of humans as "cattle" as much as it could've, going down the root of Human vs Vampire instead. I haven't read the manga so maybe that's a different story. I've had similar philosophical thoughts about Psycho-Pass, Lain, Ergo Proxy, Shinsekai Yori, etc too, so it isn't uncommon. This is probably why NGE sits so highly for me as an oddity and a masterpiece. I've never come across another anime or piece of media in general that has had that level of impact. Not that I'm a total fan boy though. The show has a lot of problems that I'm just good at ignoring

The scene doesn’t sound familiar but some pink haired vampire girls include Krul Tepes from Seraph of the End Actually the scene sounds a bit like something I seem to remember from Karin (Chibi Vampire). But Karin’s hair seemed more reddish purple. Her grandmother’s hair was pink though

Interesting story and interesting topic! Although I have heard similar things from others as well as you describe about Neon Genesis Evangelion, I do not know why, but it didn't have as much of an impact on me as on many others. I still think the symbolism of the show is uniquely interesting in quite a few ways and it captures inner mental turmoil in an intriguing way, but it did not resonate as much with me personally. This might be because I only got to watch it a year ago, i.e. after I have had my fair share of experience when it comes to psychology and especially philosophy, and am already old The question is quite difficult though. I can't say that an anime has had a sudden/discrete impact on me compared to unexpected events such as the death of a friend. But at the same time, I think there are many anime that have had an effect over time. Something that got me to think about something in a different way which later led to more substantive changes. This does happen quite a bit since I tend to over-analyze anime or at least see this as an example to a more general philosophical question which on the face of it is not related to it. To give you an example. I watched a part of Attack on Titan (I didn't continue it since it was too much gore for my taste). When I saw the whole Titans eating humans thing, I did start to think about vegetarianism and cannibalism. Now, vegetarianism is something I had thought about before quite a bit because of a colleague who has worked on it, but cannibalism not so much. So when I now think about cannibalism (which granted does not happen too often unless I think/read about lab-grown meat), Attack on Titan might be one example for it. Apart from that I would say that all of my favorite anime resonate with me in one way or another and have influenced the way I see or think about things for years.

Looks like Sony won’t make it to PAX East this year either, this time over virus concerns... https://www.wcvb.com/article/2020-pax-east-gaming-showcase-opens-in-boston-without-sony/31132651 Part of the problem is all the misleading advertising that goes into games. The trailer will be an awesome cgi.. which turns out is just the best cutscene in a game with abysmal playability. Then there’s all the bugs on top of that. People definitely *should* be allowed to return games like that for a full refund at the developers’ expense. (Or better yet, don’t buy before the reviews of shipping products come out. And certainly don’t pre-order! But I digress.)

New GOG policy allows for returns for any reason up to 30 days after purchase, even if you’ve downloaded, installed, and played the game. Considering that all GOG games are already DRM-free, I really hope that people don’t abuse the policy. “Don’t be that person. No one likes that person.” Indeed. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/02/gog-asks-you-to-please-not-abuse-its-expansive-new-30-day-refund-policy/

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here

Glad to help. For the record, I think the manga was much better than the anime (no Winner/Werner/Whiner) & more closure with the ending.

Another case of anime with potential that just blew it

Weird Al and Star Wars? Yeah, that gets a click...

sounds fantastic dude! keep it up!

Could very well come to pass given that final scene this week (honestly not sure if it was meant to be an actual plot development or just a joke based on her reaction). Also really funny Pretty sure there’s going to be some kind of confrontation between Maple & the red haired leader of that other guild as they both are inspiring other players, but in different ways.

Is it Spring yet?? I'm really looking forward to this season of Fruits Baskets

I am feeling this song so much right now, "Mama, I am that rich man" is such an awesome line! Obv I am a guy and not a tom-boy lol, but this song is just undeniably epic.

Birds of Prey and it was meh but a good time with friends.

Everyone out here with good stuff and I'm embarrassed to say Backstreet Boys.
