Finished Dorohedoro season 2, what a gut punch of an ending Glad they already announced season 3, hope we don’t have to wait for more than a year. Gonna try to finish up Agents of the Four Seasons & Akane Banashi today, start Re:ZERO’s latest season tomorrow.

Humans do learn from other artists, but we aren't trained on millions of works in the same way AI models are. We imitate and develop our own style over years, while AI is designed to extract patterns from vast datasets at a scale no person can. Whether that difference matters is up for debate, but I think it's a meaningful distinction.

Hey, I'm 62 and still working. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Congrats on making it this far at least.

500 page novel IN A DAY is insane!! That's crazy impressive

It worked well as a stand-alone novel, but considering how Sanderson seems to tie all of the Cosmere together, it's not entirely surprising. I'll probably have to re-read it when new ones come out, it's been so long. Have you read any of Sanderson's other books? I picked up Tress of the Emerald Sea, so that'll probably be my next one to read. Only a couple chapters in.

Some possibilities Fantasy/Isekai: Dororo • Scrapped Princess • The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat • The Faraway Paladin • The Eminence in Shadow • Clevatess • Demon Lord 2099 • Sentenced to be a Hero • The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic • The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs • Tsukimichi Romcom: Dealing With The Mikadono Sisters is a Breeze • Recovery of an MMO Junkie • Makeine •Tomo-chan is a Girl

I might need to go in and give it a try!

Heyy. My name is Hunter, I'm new here. It's nice to meet everybody!!!

For me, it's characters - above all else, you have to make me care about your characters, and that goes for every single genre of anime. They can be wonderful people, they can be terrible people, they can be laser-focused on a single objective or just living their day-to-day lives, but an anime absolutely must get me to want to watch those characters do their thing, whatever that "thing" is. You can have all the grand conflicts you want going on, all the wild powers you can imagine or the most incredible animation ever put to screen, but if I don't care about the characters caught up in those conflicts or wielding those powers or who are so lovingly animated, I'm not going to stick around.

Just started up the second volume of Witch Hat Atelier, which yes, was motivated by the anime's first season conclusion (on a massive cliffhanger, no less!). Coco is somehow even more endearing on-page than she is on-screen.

Just finished up Fractale, which I thought was all right. I enjoyed it well enough, but the chance I'll ever watch it again is extremely low. Picked up Last Exile to replace it, and I'm having a great time. Hopefully this continues throughout the entire show.

It was hubby’s birthday today so we went and got iced coffee then went bowling later. Now I’m doing a bit of reading before bed.

Welcome @AshAstridy Nice to see another Iruma-fan . Have you been watching the latest season?

I was going to make a jokey post about how it’s obviously Goku, but once you mentioned Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist, that pretty much sealed it for me. Tucker is on a whole different level of awful.

Got a new set of battery cables for one of my solar batteries the other day but I don't like the connectors on them. The ones that came on the cable are aluminum and the bolt hole is too large for the battery's terminal bolts. As a result the metal around the hole - the part that actually connects with the battery terminal and carries the power - is too thin for my comfort. So I'm replacing the lugs on the cable with ones that are a bit more substantial. Mine are solid copper and larger overall but with a bolt hole of the proper size for the battery's bolts. More importantly the surface area for contact with the battery terminal is much greater. The same power going through more metal means less resistive heating and a cooler connection.

Egg and cheese sandwich on toast for lunch. I might have put a bit too much Tapatío on it though.

Sounds like you really enjoy fantasy anime with strong power systems and good visuals, especially when they mix action with a bit of darker revenge themes. Which character or power system in “Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon” impressed you the most?

While I'm not afraid to die, I do still have people I need to keep myself alive for. So, I don't live for myself. Accidents and the unexpected fatal injuries happen though. So do heart attacks. Even so, I feel my big sister's presence every second that I'm awake, so I know there's an afterlife. Like the Blue Oyster Cult song says: "don't fear the reaper." because there are worse things that can happen other than death to someone. Personally I consider death to be a release from the pain of the living world, but, as I said, I've still got people I need to keep myself alive for. My life isn't just my own, my friends and family would be sad and heartbroken if I did anything to myself like anything suicidal. I used to be very much suicidal, but now I've found a solid group of friends and my family would mourn me. So, I've kind of woken up to the reality that suicide is very much a selfish act.

Hello and welcome to the forums. My own first anime was Ninja Scroll the movie. Very sad and bittersweet ending.

Im currently reading My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer.. in My Hero Academia i left off on v.6 which is really good so far. And in Demon Slayer I left off on v.6 which is really good but now even better now that Muichiro has showed up.

I'm reading "The 10 Years I Loved You Most" manhua and it's breaking my heart

Some of my faves are Sasaki and Miyano, Go For It Nakamura!, Heartstopper, and Seven Days.

Made a mostly Monte Cristo sandwich for dinner. Really just ham and cheese, but I had a little bit of egg whites and some croissant bread left and this seemed a good way to use it up.

I live in Texas and we have a ton of anime cons. Which is good, since it's so spread out. My favs are San Japan, Anime Frontier, and Weebcon. I used to list Animefest and A-kon on that list until they died, RIP. Lots of other cons though. Anime North Texas is still struggling along, there are a number of cons that start with 'anime+city-name' even though they're not all affiliated (Anime Dallas, Anime Tyler, Anime Texas, etc). Ikkicon and Ushicon I used to go to and they're still around, too, I just can't make it out to them anymore due to time of year. I'm going to one called Otaku Odyssey next May. Anime Impulse is not a Texas con but they held a show here last weekend, too.

Currently making my way through The Summer Hikaru Died. Quite a good pick if you're into Lovecraftian and psychological horror (these are not spoilers, by far the most "present" Lovecraftian element of the narrative is revealed as such in the first five minutes and much of the psychological horror flows out from that overt element).

Just started watching My Hero Academia’s final season & it has been absolute FIRE

I do graphic design part-time while finishing up my final year at university. It’s mostly logos and simple projects, but it helps pay the bills and build my portfolio.

Wow! I think you may have just found a new career

I don't know what you want from me I'm not a food critic lmao Fine, here. I'll sound like one of those stuffy posh foodie types: Coconut pocky is a confectionery marvel that straddles the line between playful indulgence and refined delicacy. One is first drawn in by its elegant presentation: each slender biscuit stick, crisply baked to golden perfection, is enrobed in a silken layer of creamy white chocolate infused with the mellow sweetness of coconut. The outer layer is generously adorned with delicate shavings of toasted coconut, lending not only a gentle crunch but also a deeply aromatic whisper of the tropics. Each bite offers a harmonious balance between the earthy, nutty warmth of coconut and the subtle vanilla undertones of the white chocolate. The biscuit itself remains unfailingly crisp, and there is an understated elegance in its simplicity — no flourish too bold, no note out of place. Coconut Pocky doesn’t scream for attention; it invites you, rather, to pause and savor — a rare quality in the world of confections. In sum, this is not merely a snack, but a thoughtfully orchestrated moment of pleasure — the kind best enjoyed with tea, a quiet view, and a touch of gratitude.

Without Jases bravery none of us would have ever known that

We learned that coconut tastes like coconut

I think some of the art AI generates is interesting to look at but nothing more. I don't agree that you should claim AI generated work as your own, as you did nothing but type in some key words. Therefore if using it, should be displayed that it was created with AI. The reality is though we live in a world where technology is advancing and things like AI works are showing up more. Most people can't even tell the difference in if something is AI made or not. I've even seen several pictures of landscapes that I've had to look twice at to realize they aren't real and have been made by AI. I still haven't decided if that's scary or not yet. For now though, I just see them as something fun to play around with from time to time when I'm bored.

Depends where. Online: Rightstufanime, amiami (ships from Japan), which i personally get. The above choices are also well. Hope that helps

Has anyone ever watched Elfen Lied? Red hair girl named Lucy who is psychic and has horns on her head? Kills people for fun? This is probably one of the most violent anime shows I've ever seen with tons of nudity. Its a fun watch. Just wondering if anyone else has watched it.
