Hello everyone!. I'm really interested into anime and Japanese culture and folklore!. I also go by xenilolix on other platforms I am mainly into slice of life and magical girls and I love old 2000s media ! Who wants to be friends? ~Ethan Minton

Name's Ivan, I'm from Bulgaria, recently left another anime forum which I was part of for 19 years and decided to check what's out there in the wild So yeah what else about me, lets see. I'm 36 years old, very much into insects and other arthropods, I like electronic music (mostly big beat and industrial) and am very big on science fiction and monster movies. I got into anime and manga around 2006 starting with Blame!, Berserk, Eden It's an Endless World, Ergo Proxy, Hellsing, Blue Gender etc. It was Naruto that got me into joining an anime forum to discuss Shino, ended up posting bug/bio news for years, made friends, had fun. Haven't been very up to date with anime and manga for years and outside a few anime movies and Nihei's newer work I can't say I'm that knowledgeable about the state of anime in 2026. Well I guess that's enough for an introduction! Anyone feel free to ask me anything.

That worry makes sense to me. Asta works best when the fights stay loud and messy, and a rushed run would flatten that. I would rather wait a bit than get a big arc squeezed into too few episodes. Which fight are you most hoping they get right?

Here is a list of anime i recommend Kemono friends Azumanga Daioh Clannad Hidamari Sketch Sailor Moon Lucky Star Sonic The anime

I am a new member and just wanted to say hi to everyone. You can call me Oni. I'm a straight male. I like anime, manga, retro tech and consoles, gaming, nature and so on. I am quite friendly and welcoming so... yeah feel free to talk with me.

Yup, the AI situation is getting out of hand clearly.

Maybe true! Even in boxing they use ai as judge. One boxer complain why ai judge? I know I won if real human judged my fight!

Anyone who does that clearly didn't know what was happening

Thank yuuuuuu

I'm not really much of a selfie person they happen rarely but here's a newer one ~

Pretty!

I want a giant squid to attack me.

I am feeling a little bit sleepy, too, as it has quickly become dark.

That is great and shows good skills.

I always play as a guy unless the guys design is so boring that I'm basically forced to morally pick the girl option. Did this with Honkai Star Rail, and I almost did it for Zenless Zone Zero but I powered through. srry for fans of either game, the mc designs just aren't my cup of tea!

The weather was so nice today we just opened the window and didn't have to have heat or air on.

That logic is sound

I just woke up and wandered outside on the balcony and it's snowing here~

A bunch of gummie worms

It's kinda nice that it's cold but not too cold and not warm warm if that makes sense XD

I think I'm about 18 years late to this conversation, as I already have two, a soon-to-be 17 and a 12. For me and my wife, it was always the plan, we even talked about it a year into when we were still dating. And we got exactly what we wanted, one of each. I won't deny anything that's been said here. It's not for everyone and that's fine. It's a difficult adventure no matter what age they are (more so with one versus the other, in my case). But through it all, there's a bond there, and we find a way to come out smelling like a rose, even if we're littered with thorns in the process.

I am unhiring myself ASAP! (❛ӧ❛三❛ӧ❛)

Also gift him Serey but when she's in one of those moods where she just wants to Sakura punch him gl

Runescape is real tonight

Why is that so random? lmfaooO Something to doooo I'M BOREDDDDDDDDD

Cam's cute

I can't read manga cause the only website that's unblocked by my guardian is in Spanish.. (my level 3 spanish is so bad..) I used to read a lot of it, even the actual material ones - but when my guardian blocked everything I had to stop.. PLUS I read too fast, so fast that I couldn't buy more manga until I obtained more money so I had to go on the websites, but now the websites are blocked, so now I am on an indefinite pause on mangas

Meatballs

Uhh I think he's right you're both weird and I didn't need to know my sister was also into this plus being hit smh holidays are going to be weird when I have to look at you both across the dinner table knowing all of this.

Nahhhhhh you did that to yourself Don't show him sympathy remember he is the enemy he murdered Marvin he must pay

Thanks btw!

Same to you ~!

I love the pictures, that's beautiful. Snow makes everything look so clean and fresh. Have fun in it and be safe. Make sure you don't get sick or frostbite.

The polar bear at the zoo was my favorite animal yesterday as well. I also really liked feeding the giraffes and watching the seal and sealion show. Today it's raining and storming so it's hard to go out and do much. We did visit a nice restaurant for lunch and go to the movie theater for a special Halloween showing of Hocus Pocus. This evening there is a Halloween party @Sakura and @Zeref's apartment community is holding in the lobby from 7-11pm. There's going to be costume contests, games, food, drink, door prizes and trivia. I'm looking forward to this.

Luckily no one hits you with a cane but these days you pay 100k a year tuition and if you don't pay attention it's your money wasted and you'll just fail lol For all my sleepiness in class though I still made A's for 4 years but I feel like this year will just be harder in general. Today was my 1st day back and 1st day at this new school. Luckily I already knew most people in my class from my work study courses so it wasn't TOO awkward. But I did hate the giant assembly that took 2 1/2 hours we had to do this morning at the in-person part. Some of my classes are in person and some of them are online. Luckily I won't have to go to campus every day and a lot of it will still be able to be done without leaving home. After lunch we were supposed to go to the work studies part but there was some kind of traffic accident and the campus shuttle bus couldn't get to us or find us and the Professor had this great idea that hey we can just walk it's less than a mile away. No one was really prepared to walk close to a mile though in 95 degree heat with a heat advisory / air quality alert going on and I'm surprised some of us didn't just die on the way there I certainly wanted to. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. I just kind of got over that fire thing I went through last week and now the building across the street is on fire. It's one of the super old hotels that is a historic building too :c Been watching a bunch of firemen over there and just black smoke take over the entire city skyline so I'm thinking it's a bad fire. Never a quiet day in the city right?

It looks awesome! I played Town of Salem with Pessi this morning for a longggg time lol I forgot how fun the game was. Did some laundry, ordered food, went swimming. Some of my packages arrived in the mail today with my Boruto things so I'm going to put those up later I also did some more GFX. Been a little bored lately and GFX'ing at least takes some of the boredom away.

I don't feel safe walking around alone at night because you never know what people are going to do. I'm in fairly good shape and could defend myself if I needed having taken kickboxing and Tai-Kwon-Do most of my life, but I still wouldn't be foolish enough to try to fight against someone with a knife or gun. It's sad that we live in a world where you need to take self defense classes or sports to be able to feel even slightly safe just walking somewhere, even in a good area. I woke up early today before sunrise which was a surprise. I had coffee on the roof and watched the sunrise over the river. I went for a jog and a little exercise at the gym after that. Had breakfast, played a couple of games, then went to get @Sakura some sodas before she woke up so she wouldn't have to take a walk to McDonald's again and encounter this guy

This global outage made me not able to do very much work today. I could only check a few things but most of our platforms constantly put up errors which meant I just went back to sleep and started a 3 day weekend I went to our sky lounge with @Sakura and we played foosball, pool, and table tennis, worked out a little bit, then went to a late lunch at a cafe on the river. We tried to stop to get icee's on the way home but neither of the stores we stopped at had were able to take transactions due to the outage so we had to live without that.

I should have done that, but since I just do commissions I didn't, but I've learned my lesson after working with some people lol But these days I only do projects I want to do for my friends or myself, by things I'm inspired by which makes it much more enjoyable and relaxing now.

No monsters wrecked the wedding this time. Success.

No thank God lolll Yeah it was boss monsters lol Oh geez, that doesn't sound like a very long time to get all that done at all, will you be able to finish it?

I'll marry you today and we don't have to worry about the Valentine bosses this time.

Ooo yeah.. there.. there is that lmao

It's too hot here and honestly I'm over it
