I can understand why you would feel that way, but just to be clear they didn't get hacked directly but rather credentials were stolen from other areas and lists. In this day and age with people using the same passwords for many services that shouldn't be overly surprising. I noticed now though that Dropbox has two factor authentication, which is on par with Google accounts now. The thing where they send you an SMS to your mobile phone when you login, just don't lose your mobile! Let me know if you get that resolved, I was looking at OneDrive when it was known as SkyDrive awhile ago but never got around to trying it out.

Watched the first four episodes so far, am enjoying it so far. Though not sure where the story is quite going at this stage. One thing interestingly I noticed though is the eyes of the main characters. Other than being really really big, they seem to have a tinge of sadness to them?

Well after using Google Drive for several months now I've decided to stop using it. It takes too long to sync and the Windows desktop client just feels unstable. Back to Dropbox as it syncs much faster. Upgraded to the pro version too.

What a coincidence, I happened to have purchased it recently on my PS Vita. I was drawn to this series from the anime adaptation, which is a separate story from one of the later games. I absolutely adore the character designs. It's your standard typical JRPG though and it's a "little grindey" but there is an upgrade you can get in game to boost your EXP and adapt the game mechanics to make it more enjoyable. General feedback is it is a lot better than the original PS3 version, which I never played. But what really makes the game shine is it's satire and hilarious dialogue, Neptune has kept me laughing every 5-10 minutes. I would recommend it. But don't expect a deep story.

Hello Fizuru, welcome to Anime Forums. Nice to have you onboard. This is heartwarming to hear! I know you said you specifically wanted to focus on studying psychology one day but have you considered volunteer work for community events or those in need? I used to do some volunteering duties during my studies and it was good fun. You should definitely show us some of your drawings! And the perfect place to do is is in our Fanworks & Media section. Anyhow I hope you enjoy your stay here, and if you have any questions or feedback please don't hesitate to let me know!

Ah thank you very much @drill, well that will keep me busy. I think we could also expand it to include one for guests (users that aren't logged in), a quickie here: You can see for yourself if you log out.

Thanks @drill, and you're welcome. Ooh those are some very nice images. I'll play with those towards the end of this week. Now that I figured out how to get the overlay going (which took the most time) it's just a matter of doing the images now. Keep the images coming if any more come to mind.

Ganbatte @drill! Alas, I haven't written a story let alone a novel since high school. Writing essays and reports at university then work sort of dulled my creativity.

Oooh how do you do your eggs? Boiled? Fried? Scrambled? Microwaved? If I had more time in the morning during the week I'd do eggs more often but I don't really feel that hungry at 7am. Weekends on the other hand...

You sleep in a lot on weekends Pokii-san? Do you do shift work or regular hours? Thinking back to my first job I recall my sleeping patterns were all over the place whenever I had late shifts or really early shifts the following day. Now that I'm in regular full-time work my sleeping pattern is quite consistent now which has a flow on effect. Still more of a night person though, I seem to be inspired more at night with ideas.

So I'm currently taking a weekly Saturday beginners Japanese course at a learning institution. 10x 2 hour lessons for $200 which is pretty good value, and we get a fluent Japanese teacher to practice with. Small class of 10 too. Anyone else considering learning Japanese? Or perhaps you studied it in school? If so what is your level of proficiency?

Cappucino. Followed closely by latté. I like my coffee without sugar, which is in contrast to tea where I prefer to have sugar.

@drill, @FearInCube - I have a test version up and running. Let me know your thoughts. Need more images, so if you have suggestions post them in this thread. Renders and/or transparent character images work well.

I like to sleep on my side, I find this the most comfortable. How about you?

Ooh nice to see we're on the first page for those terms on Bing. Thanks for the kind comments. Good to hear. Yeah we are pretty small at the moment, hope we can grow a little more over time! I do know what you mean though, with really large forums it can be a little daunting as it's harder to join existing discussions among so many other members.

Finally finished this one. Definitely an eye-watering ending. [spoiler=Episode 12] So Yuuta regretted shaping Rikka into completely removing her from her Chuunibyou and ultimately ended up helping her see the "Unseen Horizon" to finally farewell her father, which she couldn't do before. I must admit I didn't expect that ending, I was guessing maybe Yuuta would've had a conversation with Rikka and maybe slowly push her back to the way things were but this felt more sudden. I suppose by then Yuuta had more time to reflect on the implications his actions had. As the narrator said, we probably all have a bit of Chuunibyou in us. I liked this title overall, even if there was little romance, it made me laugh a lot, which is always a good thing. Yes after watching the OVA, I got the sense Yuuta and Rikka's relationship is probably not going to develop much further (or at a snail's pace, giving lots of teasers). Will probably start watching the second series a bit later, want the good impression I got from the first series to last a little while longer.

I must admit, I bought the Blu-ray set when I was in the shops browsing the anime section last week as I remembered seeing some of the characters from those Japanese anime car decals I posted earlier. Haven't started watching yet, but the character designs for Rin and Haruka look cute. I'll post my thoughts when I start watching it, probably in a week.

Last episode was a little slow, interesting seeing Saber mingling with the new guests at home. Rin seems more and more intriguing the more I see her. At this point though I find it difficult to imagine her truly dealing with Emiya as an enemy though in future, even if she did declare that from the start during their first meeting. One thing I like that I noticed has carried over from Fate/Zero is how atmospheric the low light and night scenes are.

Oh yeah, the manga is definitely behind the anime. My comparison of the manga was for the first anime series of SAO, which I did prior to SAO II airing. Sorry about that. Well after watching episode 16, is it just me or did anyone else I feel that arc was a bit of a let-down because of the combat scenes? They just didn't seem as good as the older Alfheim Online ones back in the first series of SAO. So many cut to black transitions... But it was amusing. My favourite cringe-worthy scene: [spoiler=Episode 16] Sinon: Every time you draw this sword, remember me in your heart! The reaction.
