I'd say that that is a piano version of part of the song "Voices" from Macross Plus.

It’s crazy how much things have changed. I had the same experience where in school anime felt like this “weird” thing you had to keep quiet about, and now almost everyone (who I know hated it back then) enjoys it lol

This is gonna sound so random, but i believe it stems from my childhood. But peanut butter sandwiches!!

That’s a tough one. If Reddit hasn’t helped, you could also try posting the clip on anime music identification communities or sites like WatZatSong. Even a small melody can sometimes be enough for someone to recognize it. Hopefully an anime soundtrack fan here knows it because now I’m curious too.

Wearing the weirdest, wackiest, wildest, strangest outfit

Actually no, they have scientifically proven that there is in fact a life force that can be seen with proper equipment. https://www.newsweek.com/humans-light-extinguished-death-study-reveals-2078964

I have no idea. One of the oldest anime I've watched though was Twilight of the Dark Master. Unfortunately it's not on DVD nor blu-ray. How would you want to live your life?

finally got my password. So to start I bought the series St. Dragongirl and one other secondhand like new. Best 2 series I ever read. I can say the first one I started was dark. Dragon Girl is sort of a little comic relief. I can’t say what the other manga is. I feel its not really appropriate. Thats to be fair.

The last movie I watched was Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. That movie had me cracking up a lot. XD

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forum, though definitely not new to the anime world. I’m hoping to connect with fellow anime fans and find my kind of people here. A little about me: I’m a huge fan of fantasy and supernatural stories. I love getting lost in magical worlds, unique creatures, and anything with a touch of mystery or wonder. Studio Ghibli films have always held a special place in my heart—they capture a sense of whimsy, adventure, and imagination that I never get tired of. Some of my favorite anime genres include fantasy, supernatural, adventure, and slice-of-life with a magical twist. I’m always looking for recommendations and would love to hear what everyone is currently watching. Looking forward to meeting you all and chatting about anime!

Thank you it took me a minute to figure out how to respond in the app!!!

Apart from the backup power it's a bit of an experiment as well. I'm using it to test out some of the technology that's been developed since I put up the old PV system 25 years ago. I can't build or install a new system all by myself anymore but I've found over the years that things go much smoother when you can tell the contractors exactly what you want and how to do it.

A few weeks ago I finished putting a new roof on the house. Unfortunately to do that I had to remove the solar panels that were up there. They were part of an old system that we put together way back in 2001 so time for an upgrade anyway, right? Well, after paying nearly $30k for the new roof I'm a bit low on cash so that project is going to have to wait. In the meantime I ordered a couple single panels for minimal emergency power if SoCal Edison pulls a PSPS and shuts down my power. Took delivery today. They're a bit larger than I expected but not too heavy or awkward to wrangle. The specs say they're rated at 320W each so between the 2 of them they'll generate nearly 4kWh on an average sunny day here in SoCal. Probably more like 3kWh if I'm being realistic but that's still easily enough to make the morning coffee, keep the cellphone and laptop charged, and keep the food in the refrigerator from going bad. Maybe even enough for a bit of air conditioning on particularly sunny days. I already have a charge controller, an inverter, and a 1200Wh battery that should work with the panels to provide the AC output and power overnight. I'll be wiring all the pieces together and setting the panels up on the driveway in the sun this weekend to give them a test run.

I'm feeling decent, given I ran out of my meds a while ago. I must have a lot of anger issues, because it doesn't take much set me off when I'm not on my meds. That sucks. Anyway, I feel decent given the situation.

I am also feeling good overall. A little bit worried about my job and financial situation but everything will be ok for me

Current season anime muscle mommy: Hidari from Daemons of the Shadow Realm

I've been slowly getting through Love Through A Prism! I believe I'm only on episode seven, but so far I'm really enjoying it! I love the premise, and despite it's somewhat simple story so far (this could change for all I know lol), it's very interesting. Lili and Kit have such a fun dynamic and the side characters are all great too. I don't know how exactly to explain it, but the show is very charming and I look forward to continuing it

Hey guys, my birthday is in about three months and I've started saving up to buy some manga, but the problem is I haven't found one that really catches my eye. Could you recommend any? I like one-shot manga or short series.

Agreed! We wouldn't have batman if his parents weren't killed...

Is it crazy that I never knew that One Punch Man started as a webcomic first?!!

yes ut deserves

I’ll let you know if I hear anything about it getting more episodes. Started watching Always a Catch. Seems like Mimi is a combination of Catarina Claes & Scarlet El Vandimion Actually hopeful that this will wind up being better than May I Ask For One Final Thing, as that one wound up being a disappointment once the novelty of Scarlet’s personality wore off. Mimi seems much more likable while still being able to kick ass and without relying on an OP divine skill.

Roofers finally finished so today I had to write a big check. Tomorrow I get to call around to find someone to paint the exterior.

My daydream starts when music start^. ^

Considering that this is a forum, there are lots of people on here with such varied experiences when it comes to the anime world. There are new fans and old fans alike! I'm curious, how has anime changed in your time? This applies to anybody regardless of how long you've been interested. These changes could be anything from the anime community to actual content in anime itself. What have you noticed? Do you like these changes or not, and why is that? Do you wish you could go back to a different era, or do you enjoy how things stand now? How do you think anime will continue to change in the future?

peanut butter.. and honey

I still eat those to this day. lol

All the time. I think daydreaming can be such a comfort. Sometimes it’s like your brain is little worlds or realities you wish were real. I don’t think it’s weird at all. It just sounds like you have a really active imagination!

I enjoyed it. Probably not in my top 10 but I've re-watched it a couple times now. For me it's kind of in the same category as Acchi Kocchi, another one I enjoyed.

I'm a big big fan of the artist goreshit. Right now I've been really enjoying their song wasting my time. I thoroughly enjoy the albums goretrance X and goretrance 9, those both have some of my most favorite songs ever. I've been a top listener of his for a while now

I still enjoy the show! I haven't seen it in a few years, but it's still a great watch. I was hoping to show it to my daughter when she grows up a bit more. The show was huge when I was back in high school!

That's the kind of cheese the jalapeno cheese bread from King Soopers is that's my comfort food.

not too long ago i got the last volumes (3 and 4) of the chobits 20th anniversary edition. Very excited to finish the series!

I typically won't buy any anime, specifically, until places like Sentai Filmworks have their sales (which are fantastic, by the way), but I buy manga all the time. I recently picked up the first volume of Nyankees, volumes 1 and 2 of Tsumiki's Not So Ordinary Life, 1-4 of Colorless, and Komi Can't Communicate 36 and 37.

Yeah it has like dehydrated jalapeno on top and sometimes inside and then cheese aswell it's really good

I bought a entire Manga set from a friend. All 24 of Rosario + Vampire. It is one of the most fantastic Manga I’ve read. The set was also in like new condition.

I'd have to say the Jalapeno bread I get from King Soopers is my comfort food. I like tearing off a big piece of it to chow down on from time to time.

not gonna lie, i can imagine her having a crush on kagura 100% she has a cool vibe similar to skaki

I'm watching 'Saki', It's an anime about playing mahjong and I think it's pretty cute. The whole scenery and the classy aesthetic of a professional board game gets me everytime. I like board games a lot too.

Thanks. ^^ ^^ ^^ I used to use MAL, but I keep forgetting the CSS I learn for it. >< >< ><

My first anime was Fairy Tail, and I liked the manga even more in second grade. I made the mistake of being super open about it, but when my classmates caught a glimpse of one of the manga pages I was reading (I believe it was Mira in a bikini or something) and it just so happened to be one of those fan service pages, I was bullied for it for the following years of my life, and this resulted to me not telling a soul about my interests from that day on (but that was probably my fault since I was reading something like that in the public in school). anyway, all I can say is that many people have a more positive view on anime(?) and people who do enjoy anime are no longer more often considered weirdos/otakus as they were b4.

One major thing I've noticed is the way that you actually obtain anime. I really began getting into anime (when I found out it was anime and not just cartoons) in 2003, and it was right at the start of the early 2000s anime "boom". I remember back then going to Best Buy, Sam Goody, and Suncoast Video and spending hours looking through the anime DVDs, finding different shows that you might not have heard of from the community at the time and just enjoying "the hunt". Anime DVDs were also pretty different, too. Whole seasons were pretty rare back then, too. Typically, you would see a show sell DVDs with only 3 or 4 episodes on it, but each DVD would have some interesting side content like a commentary with the voice actors, concept art, or some other random stuff. The problem, though, was that each DVD was around $20 to $30, meaning your longer shows, like Fullmetal Alchemist '03, could cost an upward of $300 to $350 for the full series compared to around $50 nowadays. There were pirate sites back then, but I was a dumb teen and didn't really have a computer until about 5 years later, so I didn't partake until much later. Anime took a bit of a nose dive around 2010-2013, and it was reflected in stores's selections around that time. Things got pretty tough to find, and it just wasn't as fun as it used to be. Turn to today, anime got another big boom around 2020, so things are bigger than ever. However, the way that we access it has changed drastically. Nowadays, you can't go to Best Buy to buy anime DVDs or Blurays anymore, they are more of an internet order type thing or a specialty store. You could buy a little bit of the more famous stuff at Walmart or Target, but its not anywhere near the same as it used to be. Now everyone streams their stuff on places like Crunchyroll, Netflix, or Hidive, and don't actually own anything. While it's more convenient, I feel that you aren't likely to pick out or stuck with any new shows. There is no real commitment, and people wind up missing some possible hidden gems. I will say, though, that the manga section in book stores is absolutely fantastic right now, though!

So Anthropic is refusing to allow the Pentagon to use it’s AI for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. That in itself is remarkable since Anthropic is not known for holding back when it comes to experimenting with AI. What could go wrong? https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/27/anthropic-vs-the-pentagon-whats-actually-at-stake/

What if I don't want him to notice me?

Who's bigger? Mrs. Bigger, Mr. Bigger, or their baby? Their baby — because he's a little Bigger.

Someone dropped their Scrabble pieces on the road… I guess you can say that’s the word on the street.

OK, here's a short list of recommendations for you. A Place Further Than the Universe: Despite the title this is not a sci-fi series. It's a slice of life series about four girls who take part in a life changing adventure. It's an excellent series and well worth watching. Yuru Camp: A slice of life about a group of girls who enjoy going on camping trips, cooking food and admiring the countryside. A wonderfully laid back series that's highly recommended. Hyouka: A great series about a about a guy who would rather do nothing and expend as little effort as possible who meets a girl in his school who has an insatiable curiosity and wants to know the answers to various mysterious events that happen around the school. This is another great series that's worth watching. Charlotte: In a world where some teenagers develop para-normal abilities there is a small group who seek them out to protect them from criminal gangs who want to exploit their abilities and scientists who want to experiment on them to learn about their abilities in order to use them. This is a sci-fi series set in a rather chilling world, it's a great story but some of the episodes contain quite violent scenes.
