I think this probably counts as anime news. The Royal Shakespeare Company has adapted the Studio Ghibli classic "My Neighbour Totoro" for the stage. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/entertainment-arts-63255917

Great

Trust me, our weather is pretty weird. Yesterday we had thunderstorms and lots of rain. This morning it was dull, overcast and a bit chilly, this afternoon the sun is shining from a clear blue sky and it's warm.

And there was me thinking that only the UK had weird weather that couldn't make up its mind what to do. (which explains why the weather is the favourite topic of conversation among us Brits ).

I really, really want a "groan" emoji. That batch of jokes are soooo bad they're excellent

Looking at the screen size it looks like quite an old machine as 4:3 aspect monitors went out of fashion years ago. It's probably not been used for a while and the battery is knackered (to use a technical term) if you've got the mains charger for it it might work on mains power only. There's also the possibility that it suffered a fatal system crash the last time it was used, I had an old laptop which I used fairly regularly then one day on starting it displayed a an error message and crashed. I've never been able to start it since.

Sunday lunch. Steak pie, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and Brussels sprouts.

It's overcast, raining hard, there's been a couple of flashes of lightning and accompanying loud thunder claps. In short it's excellent weather for staying in and watching anime.

Sleep.

I've just started rewatching my favourite anime series. There's just so many good things about this series.

A Ah, yes. I remember the hot drink vending machines. You pressed loads of buttons to choose your drink and then waited to see if what it supplied was what you'd asked for and was drinkable.

I'd go for the 70's and 80's. I'd left school and had a job it was the era of flared trousers and jackets with aircraft carrier width lapels and wide ties. By 1981 I had a car and a CB radio, the lives of my friends and I revolved around our cars and our radios, we drove in convoy to places and staged photo-shoots of our cars which were all kitted out with front spoilers, extra lights and other (often pointless) extras both inside and outside. Good (crazy) Fun was had by all.

Ok, so here's a mixed bag of recommendations: Clannad & Clannad After Story. Saikano. Haibane Renmei. Gunslinger Girl.

I can understand where you're coming from, but for me the opposite is true, I don't like dry meat it has to have lots of gravy on it. I do agree with you about chicken on the bone, I can't be dealing with it either. While we're on the subject of meat, I really don't understand the appeal of BBQs. I mean people go to BBQs and happily eat food that's burnt black on one side and under cooked on the other side if they were served that indoors on a plate they wouldn't touch it.

This morning is quite bright with blue sky and fluffy clouds. It's not expected to last though the weather man says there's a 78% chance of rain and thundery showers later on this morning.

First up. Welcome to the Forum I hope you like it here and enjoy yourself. Secondly. What sort of genres do you like? Sci-fi, Slice of life, Action, Adventure, Sports, Horror etc etc once we know what sort of anime you're interested in we'll know what sort of series to recommend.

These anime make me cry every time I watch them. Clannad After Story. I Want to Eat your Pancreas. ef: A Tale of Melodies. Your Lie in April. But they're such good stories that I keep coming back to watch them again. The best stories are the ones that touch your heart, and they are the ones that stay with you.

I could go along with that, on cold mornings I have great difficulty getting out of bed. It's currently 13C, which isn't bad for this time of year and it looks like it could be a fairly bright day.

221 The fun has now begun.
