One of the really great things about this forum is that everyone accepts other people's choices and preferences, there's no "elitist attitudes", and that's how it should be. After all, we're all here because we like watching anime.

Hello, been missing forum style discussion lately in lieu of discord and the like. Been watching and reading manga/anime since the late 80s early 90s and like to dig into series when I like the music. When animators can use the soundtrack as a story telling device that show will be on my list. Nice to meet you all!

For anyone who's curious, my Kaede doll is finished~!

only feels short in retrospect when we look back and reminisce about the time that has passed

And the older you get the faster time goes by.

They sound like lovely people...

I've encountered similar attitudes in other areas, it's a kind of "elitism" promoted by a small group of people usually to make themselves feel superior. When I was a member of the local photographic club there were those who claimed that if you didn't use a certain make of camera you weren't a "true photographer", it was the same when CB was popular if you didn't have a rig from a certain manufacturer you weren't a "true CBer". I was once told that I couldn't take part in my employer's hobbies exhibition because my models were constructed from kits, and no "real modeller" made models from kits. ( I suspect that they didn't know how complicated and difficult to build a Tamiya kit could be!)

Ah, the age old perennial question, also known as the "Great Sub vs Dub Debate". When I first started watching anime everything was on VHS tape and dubs were all that were available from my local video shop* and as I got more into watching anime I was introduced to subs from another source, (no names no pack drill). After watching subs for a while I came to the view that I preferred to hear the original voice actors so now I only watch subs. Initially I had problems reading the subs quick enough, but now I find I don't actually read the subs word for word my brain seems to just 'absorb' the text, I do the same thing when reading books, which probably accounts for why I find it so difficult to read out loud in public. Ultimately there is no "right" or "wrong" answer to the question and people should be free to watch anime in whatever from they prefer and while I'm a sub only person I object to those who try to claim that you're not a "true anime fan" if you watch dubs. * For several years I had the advantage of working in London and within easy travelling distance of Tottenham Court Road where there were a couple of large video shops and a specialist Sc--Fi shop all of which had quite large collections of anime tapes and if I searched their shelves diligently I could occasionally find a sub release or two.

For home made pins they look very professionally produced. Excellent work.

Very good its a slow burn but makes up for it in story telling. Very good show. Just started watching To Your Eternity and catching up on some JOJO. This season watching Oshi no ko , The Blue Orchestra, and might check out Heavenly Delusion looks like a mind trip. Season a bit light for me for shows I would regularly watch but really would like some more scifi but it's not as popular now.

I am one of the many people who attempt to binge watch One Piece and end up quitting by episode 30 right here. But aside from that, just started watching Monster, pretty fucking good to be honest.

Not necessarily Guitar Hero but I've been playing Clone Hero on PC. Your able to download custom songs. My favorite song to play is The Rumbling from the Attack on Titan Intro. You can use your USB controller guitar, drums and mic to play certain songs. Not all custom songs use the specific controller use, so know that some songs may not work with your input. I'm still new here so I'm not sure about posting links, but I suggest looking Clone Hero up if you want a better Guitar Hero experience. Nie:wen! (Thank-you! In Mohawk.)

Nice collection. I don’t collect much/any anime beyond a few DVDs but I do have a quite bit of space-related merch like lapel pins, buttons, spacecraft models, and even a few event access passes so I can appreciate the effort and fun involved in compiling such a collection.

And as if by magic Mr. YouTube placed this in my feed this morning..
