Here's a quick video I made featuring cute scenes of Noel from Sora no Method. She is my current favourite moeblob: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbdD21-POa4 Spoiler free, I promise.

@Dark Jewel - I agree it is getting cluttered. Unfortunately a conditional checkbox is probably a bit beyond the scope of what this forum software is capable of at the moment. Best we can probably do it have two separate dropdown menus, one for Onii and the other for Onee. Then the user would have to set one to "None" or otherwise two pictures will show up.

Can't believe I missed those... and I remember I was going to add those at some point before your last list, must've got swamped. alright I'll do those sometime this week. The close button will need to be left there for Guest users at the very least as they wouldn't have a choice without logging in/registering. I'm not sure if I can distinguish between Guests at this time, definitely a sound idea though. EDIT: Upon closer inspection, the close button is supposed to only appear when you hover over the image. Though it seems to appear automatically on page load, may be worth investigating.

Noel from Sora no Method had an accident... I am mad scientist!! Kantai Collection is airing soon so I'm just excited.

Another poster of Kantai Collection: KanColle featuring what appears to be the Destroyer classes just chilling. On a related note, the Vol. 1 Japanese Blu-ray is available for pre-order for a March 27, 2015 release date: (they work fast!) http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/KAXA-7221

As this relates to a Japanese tourist attraction, this has now been moved to the new Japanese Lifestyle Culture section. Definitely a must see indeed!

Also known as Akiba. Akihabara is located in the Chiyo ward of Tokyo. It is otaku heaven without a doubt, tall buildings with humangous anime posters, lots of shops selling various electronic, computer, console, anime, merchandise, manga and of course Gundam Café... Speaking of Cafes, there are several maid cafes too. Have you visited Akiba before or thinking of checking it out one day? Feel free to share your experiences.

As per the thread title.

Another title I've been meaning to watch for awhile, let us know how you go with it.

Hmmmm, tough one. I would have to say the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series. Although it has major mecha themes at heart, there are many philosophical (NERV, the Human Instrumentatlity Project), psychological (the pilots themselves) and religious themes which get better the more you watch it. I'm inclined to agree with you there. Steins;Gate had that whole time paradox thing going which really made you think. Code Geass had a similar thing going too with the ramifications behind Lelouch's Geass power. I'd rewatch Black Rock Shooter for the underworld scenes alone. They're amazingly surreal, each one is like a Pixiv drawing.

Update: I find myself using Facebook less and less these days. Part of the reason is the News Feed, so many sponsored and suggested posts is becoming a turn-off. Anyone else have any recent FB experiences to share?

Whoops, my bad. Made a typo for that one, try hard refreshing now.

Thankfully, based on the trailers for ALDNOAH.ZERO season 2 it would seem Inaho and princess Asseylum are going strong. Edit: I would hope so anyway! Trailers can be misleading.

My favourite Japanese foods include: Chicken karaage Tempura Beef udon I like Sushi too BUT unfortunately I have an intolerance to fish so I can only eat fish in very small amounts.

Anime. When I was really young, American adapations of Pokémon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragonball Z were being aired on FTA TV along with any other shows that were popular back then. Naturally over time this made me curious about other anime titles. More recently though I became more interested in the culture of Japan due to my work, as there was a student exchange program going so I tagged along for the ride. Going there for work reasons allowed me to gain some very interesting insights within various Japanese schools. I liked it so much I went there a second time for holiday in a more laid-back environment. I'm even considering a third visit maybe mid this year if I can improve my Japanese proficiency. Akihabara Electronic Town in Tokyo is anime and tech gadget heaven. Oh and so is any Yodabashi store.

So I had a look at the official Japanese KanColle website and it lists 23 characters, so we can expect to see quite the line-up throughout this anime: Destroyer Classes: Fubuki Mutsuki Yudachi Shimakaze Akatsuki Hibiki Ikazuchi Inazuma Light Cruisers: Jintsu Naka Kitakami Sendai Oi Oyodo Heavy Cruisers: Atago Aircraft Carriers: Akagi Kaga Zuikaku Battleships: Nagato Mutsu Kongou Hiei Yamato

Off I go to grind 15-20 levels then. Out of curiosity, who was in your front main party when you beat the first game?

My all time favourite is 24, great action thriller. Kiefer Sutherland fits the role perfectly. Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead are among my other favourites too.

@drill, @Kunoichifox, @Dark Jewel - should be all good now, sorry about the delay!

Just finished the images, will let you know when I've added them to the dropdown menu. @drill: @Dark Jewel:

@Kunoichifox - just finished yours. @drill - I'm working on your list now, two that might be a bit tricky: Her head and right side is cut off, if you're OK with a fade feather effect I can see how that would look. Shigure's head is cut off here too, I think a fade feather effect could work here too (similar to how we did it for Miku Hatsune). Will add that to the list.
