Just don’t think it’s for me 5/10

Quincy's craft - Bleach

6/10 most the points are for nostalgia lol.

Smile Bomb -Yu Yu Hakusho

ps I’m gonna love this thread, I have an expansive list of awesome anime music lol

CGI like that old show that used to air on cartoon network (the one with all the blue ppl)or something like beast wars even though the show is great is not something I like. Hopefully one day cgi can look like 2d and then there can be more anime!

Woah, thanks everyone! I’ll have to check these out!

@alupacard Ah shucks, thanks so much! I'm trying to make an effort to be here more often. 

@Beocat I've introduced quite a few ppl to anime, but they never watch like I do, nor do we watch together. 

@xWickedNekox that sounds awesome! I never watched anime together with someone, and I would very much like to do that. 

@ArchieKun it really is a shame when ppl can't appreciate anime. Its literally like every other form of entertainment, just better

Wow I didn’t know they did that! That’s nuts

Thanks guys! I’m just really shy and don’t like the act of making new friends...if that makes any sense.im close with my current friends and one of them watches anime but he lives far away now 

Also, anyone wanna be friends?

If you liked the Ghibli movies then I believe it will do you well to watch the movies made by Shinkai and Hosuda.

Garden of Words, Your Name, 5cm per second, by Shinkai.

The Boy and the Beast, Summer Wars, Wolf Children, The Girl Who Lept Through Time by Hosuda.

Can any recommend a short manga series? Like even 1 volume. Also less then like 10 if possible. I ask cause I would like to collect some, but I don't have much space.

We live in a day of age where commercials have progressed to a whole new extent that we feel just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of influence, it has on our daily lives. Though this topic primarly sets his focus on the anime commercials, where the market share is increasing day by day.

Did you ever see an Anime commercial and asked yourself „what anime is this from?!“ or had the urge need to see this commercial turning into a real anime? What are your thoughts on Anime commercials in general? Do Anime commercials have an effect on people who live overseas?

I have been watching some anime commercials lately and was fond of the animations – though I couldn‘t really understand the actual intention of what the commercials were referring to at first. (without reading any background story as to why this commercial was made for)

Kyoto Animation: Ikitaku Naru Omise-hen

In terms of visual appeal, Kyoto Animation is definetely top notch, one, which only a few can compete with. That‘s why it‘s not suprising to see them on my list since they were, moreover responsible for the production of many well-known titles like Violet Evergarden , Hyouka and Free!.

I think this commercial resembles slightly to Flying Witch but I cannot really explain why I feel that way, however this short sci-fi commercial with a little tad of slice of life really caught my eye.

Taisei Kensetsu: Vietnam Noi Bai Kuukou

Comix Wave Films is a film studio who are the maker of Your Name & 5 Centimeters Per Second – I used to call them Ghibli Junior at some point xD.

Anyway, they‘re producing short movies and commercials from time to time which is incredible if you think about it, they put a handful of their manpower and knowledge into a 30 sec lengthy commercial video, which turns out to be more of a trailer to an upcoming movie rather than a commercial. This one was particularly produced under the supervision of Makoto Shinkai. I think it would be a great change of scene if this would turn into an anime. 

The Shinkai one is amazing!

 

I guess it depends on the anime, but does anime ever just make you really sad? If so, which ones and why (without giving away spoilers)

Something about anime, that gets me really attached. I feel like I've always been like that.  I can watch a regular show or movie and it can be sad, but I won't feel it like with an anime?  The anime, in particular, that is currently bothering me is Garden of Words, which I've seen before and told myself I would watch because of how hard it hits at home. But at the same time, I'm obsessed with that movie, it's so beautiful imo. 

As I've gotten older, I've come to realize that I am a person who possesses a lot of perseverance and empathy towards others. (humble brag)  As I sorta look back to figure out where this came from, (not my awful parents) I have come to believe that I owe some of it to anime.

I like to push through adversity like many anime characters and I am also accepting of all kinds of ppl, which again I believe it because of anime. (not trying to turn this into  a political thing, please don't make this a political thing lol)

Do you mean skin colour white then your wrong. you have the wrong idea man girls are not as complicated as you think. Maybe at first they might seem rude or picky but it’s not like that. 

I am not white my self. I am trying to say try finding a girl and by meeting face to face that’s how you get them You like of your personality. 

Wait, what? How could you tell me if I'm wrong.I've literally seen that quote in their profiles/bios..... as well as other similar things like not interested xyz (skin color) #aorrynotsorry (Literally saw that today) but I know that's not everyone obv

Personally I have never used any dating sites so I don’t know what is like. But I will say this some girls look for personality more than looks. So maybe you can find a girl like that.

you should have a joyful honest And determined personality. Also you sounded a bit desperate so don’t be girls don’t like that’s. I remember I used to be a harem king back in highschool because I was just fun to be around. And made the environment comfortable for everyone. So how you act is very important you should be very cautious but also relaxed. That will make a girl be with you.

Obviously you don’t have to do what I do. At the end Just be your self. I do this to grow my harem and make it stronger. As I am obsessed with this game. Don’t try to get a harem because its stressful And requires good looks.

Now currently I am trying to get my throne back from my friend.

Lol I think this reply is just me bragging about harem life. 

Thanks for your reply, but honestly everything after "not using dating sites" is worthless. Especially if you're going to say I'm desperate. Try out tinder or bumble. Or just read about. Girls put their venmos, they match with everyone to get instagram followers, they say if you're not white don't swipe right....that's just the surface man...girls (at least on there) are not in it for the personality. That comes 4th.

Well we can't control how we feel for the most part.  I hope you find happiness in some way be it finding a new friend or more with some lady friend.  Just try and keep your head up and not sweat it as best you can.  Have a Cuebone.

Awww dude, thanks!!

I hate to say it.  But most people on dating sites are ones that are too stubborn to give anyone but what they view as perfect as a chance, or just hook ups.  And that's their choice.  Nothing can be done about it, try not to fret about it, that's your choice.  I've been on dating sites before too.  And even it's got some (very few) generally interesting people.  It's also full of liars, cheats, fakes, marketers for adult sites, and people who don't want to give a relationship a chance because of this or that reason.  Hold your head up and meet people in person.  The net can be a dangerous place where despite a picture being there,  people remain faceless and so they don't associate you with a real human being, there for they say whatever they want.  I say try mixers, blind dating.  Things like that.  Gatherings of people.  Travel and meet new people.  Help people out if they need help.  You never know who you could be introduced to that way.   

While these are all my own personal feelings on the subject this is honestly mostly an opinion based on my experience.  I'm single too.  But more so by choice right now do to life style situations.  But I wish you the best of luck.  Get out there and do you. 

I completely agree and understand.  Its just crazy that this has become our culture. I'm not looking for anything serious, it would be nice to have some validation that I wasn't some grotesque being not worth a single match. I mean it would be nice just to get ice cream with a girl or something, idk lol. I kinda want to be single too, i prefer that, but it would be nice to be with someone as well. Again, idk.

I don't do much outside, rather I love being outside, but no one is gardening and/playing ball, going for walks. I'm in my mid 20s and I go for walks alone.  But thank you for you response, I appreciate it. I was just super bummed, cause I actually got a match with an attractive girl, and then I saw she unmatched. Didn't even know her and it was like really bothering me. Sigh

Dating sites are a joke... I'm serious... just go out and do things you like, you're more likely to bump into somebody who shares your interests and it's a great way to break the ice. Somebody real. @FinDee pretty much summed it up already. From what I can tell, dating sites are clogged down with people who aren't there for the intended purpose of the site. 

Yeah it's crazy man. Thanks for the kind words.

have you tried adding filter's ?, or money in the background ?, that usually work's

but no for real, just take other pictures that make your face shine, like take one near a light source, your sure to shine

yea i suck at these kinds of advice

You know I got a real nice camera and started taking nice pictures bought new clothes and still nothing. I even did an experiment where I made a fake account with some standard looking dude and the photos were off google images so they were poor quality and he had like 25 plus likes in an hour. So yeah I deleted everything and lost faith in humanity after that

Don't feel bad, I have yet to meet anybody (outside of a levi commercial actor) that has gotten any bites on any of those stupid sites. Then you have those sites that have staffers that click "like" on your profile never to lead anywhere..sigh, what happened to good old fashioned courting? Anyway, we'll start a club yo' and wear jackets and bling. Maybe that'll help? 

Hahahahahaha that would be so funny and I would be down

So,I've had it for years, have had several nice photos and bios created and I have never received a like on any dating app. I must be truly ugly. I mean ppl in person tell me I'm decent but I suppose not. The internet does bring out the worst in some ppl and those sites are def full of shallow ppl but still not a single like for me. I must be hideous. Crazy thing is when I talk to people we get a long perfectly and girls always say I'm sweet, but I just don't look a certain smh. 

Other then Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and basically anything else Yoko Kanno does (wolf's rain, terror in resonance I know of as well)

I appreciate your help!

Hey everyone! I don't know what it is, but something about the nice weather and the sunlight entering the home, makes me wanna stay inside and watch tons of anime lol!

Every summer I find myself watching/finishing a lot of series and I want everyone to partake on what I've come to call the Summer Anime Grind.

I finished Violet Evergarden and am currently making my way through Orange.

The girl in the second Pokemon movie, the one who can summon Lugia. She and Ash had a nice thing.

Bruh, let me hit you with the must watch
