I’m actually more intrigued now to find out about the “outside” and how things got that way.

I've just started watching this. About 3 episodes in I think? I really like it so far. Am intrigued where it will go.

so ... when i was in middle school , i had an assignment where we have to write a letter to our future self or past self , i'm reading it right now and its kinda weird to me , and i'm just going to share it ... Readint it after 5 years

How would you define " anime " in your own words to a person who never watched anime before ?

That would be "Bookkeeper". The sound of rain is rather calming to me. Do you share the same opinion?

I've been dabbling in mobile games for a while now. Right now, I'm playing a bunch of games. Honkai Impact 3, Arknights, Epic Seven, Granblue Fantasy, and most recently Dragon Raja. As for PC, I recently started Atelier Ryza. I also got a Switch and started playing Pokemon Sword as well as Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Yes, I play a lot of games.

I grew up with Sony and Nintendo so of course it would be ps3,ps2,ps4,switch,wii and the psp and 3ds. I really am into the older the stuff and also some pretty obscure stuff and now recently i'm getting into the Japan only stuff too. JRPGS Lunar,Parasite Eve,Final Fantasy,Kingdom Hearts and Custom Robo for example. Strategy stuff like Devil Survivor and Disgaea i am really into. Visual novels Trace Memory,Danganronpa,Date A live and anything from the science adventure series. Action oriented games like Devil May Cry or Madworld as well i am really into. Fighting games and beat em ups i do play from time to time like the bouncer,street fighter or blazblue for example.

A cartoon show that is usually influenced by Japanese culture and often created in Japan, with many different genres.

I think I will manage the language part. I looked into it a bit and Japanese doesn't seem too different from many European languages in its basic structure. Let's see if I still think that after a few months of study though As for sticking out, I can guarantee that I would. I already stick out in the West because I often look like a mad scientist But for some reason people don't care too much when it comes to scientists/professors/etc. looking like that. Only thing I hope they won't ask is to shave often that's just too much work. I am still considering this, but nothing concrete yet.

Exactly! Like seriously...what the heck happened???

Hope you get to feeling better. I think the Castlevania series has pretty much ran it’s course for me. Snarky dialogue can be entertaining when it’s one or two characters, but when it seems to be a defining trait of every character it gets old fast. Also seems like they feel they have to remind you it’s an “adult cartoon” by making sure every sentence has at least one profanity. I don’t find it offensive, just tedious. I like Sypha & Trevor as a couple, but they didn’t seem to grow at all in season 3. And the whole subplot with Alucard & the twins seemed pointless other than as an excuse to have a Again another hamfisted attempt to be “adult”. The graphic violence actually doesn’t bother me because if fits the horror aspect of the show.

Most of the time it’s at least 20 miles to the north, but still too close for comfort. Will probably have a lot of branches/limbs to clean up tomorrow.

Warm for this time of year (61F at almost midnight) but sounds like we might have a storm because I can hear the wind gusting. Hate it when it’s like this right before bed because worried about a possible tornado when I fall asleep.

I didn´t have the time (and since I live an almost hermit-like lifestyle, nor the interest) to look into it too much, but from the few studies there are and I´ve seen, it doesn´t seem to be that bad, especially not as bad as it is portrayed in the media. This doesn´t mean that it couldn´t theoretically mutate into something much worse though. Stockpiling stuff might not be that bad an idea, since I wouldn´t be surprised if stores in some places close because of the hysteria (also generally speaking it is not a bad idea to have reserves in case of unexpected incidents).

Censorship: Just to make things more child friendly they are censoring animes like 7 deadly sins by making the blood white. I don't understand this, I mean even movies like avengers show blood and are still able to be child friendly so yh. Fan Service: There is soo much of it, they don't even try to make the fan service fit the story line they instead just shove it in your face.

Ohio pretty much said most of it right here. Isekai is fun, but most of it now is starting to look like copycat stuff to me. Isekai's been around forever but not every anime needs to be one! In fact, I think that a resurgence of Space Opera is long overdue, if I do say so myself. No bias here at all. And the Over-Powered MCs....they're just boring. If they have no flaws, how can they develop at all? They're stagnant, dull characters. Really, the writers could do better. And the ridiculoudly long awkward titles like.... "The Main Character is Over Powered But Blah blah blah blah blah." This just screams laziness to me. If the author is too lazy to come up with a real title (like anything really is better than that!), then truth be told I'm going to be too lazy to bother watching it. That crap doesn't intrigue me. It just tells me that the author lacks creativity and therefore the plot will likely be intolerably boring. And...I've said it once, I've said it thousands of times... Too many harems! Too many teenagers! Love trianges aren't bad, and fondness from afar isn't a bad "harem" angle (as in a harem member acknowledges feelings for MC but does not act on them and does not force herself into the MC's life or inner circle and goes about her own business and life understanding while she has some feelings, they probably aren't going anywhere and aren't worth pursuing past the daydream stage), but the one guy surrounded at all times by a flock of girls all arguing and fighting over his attention and affections is boring, overplayed, and quite frankly, not realistic. Those girls should all be pulling on each other's hair, slapping one another, and screaming that he's going to be their baby daddy and essentially running off any competition that rears its head! (Yep, this is what happens when you have at least two girls fighting over a man.) And let's not forget the breasts. It's still a harem thing, but really, unless a woman is really drunk, showing off her breasts (or being fondled) is usually not something she wants to do (nor comparing sizes with other women). We really need more flat chested girls in anime, if only to average out the melons some. And ending an anime without actual closure. This one is really for all time, but especially annoying now, when many authors continue the story in mangas but not via anime (even though sales would have supported a second season). Or worse....the author gets sicks….or dies.... It seems a lot of the anime I enjoy of late are written by authors who are really sick >_>. And they don't continue writing when sick.... I understand of course....but it seems to happen a lot.

Why? Why do I continue to get attached to characters in these battle animes knowing full well they could die at any time? Don't I ever learn!?!
