An odd job man knocked on the door of a house and asked if there any jobs he could do. The householder said yes, you can paint the porch round the back. A few hours later the odd job man knocked on the door again and said I've done what you asked, but I think you should know that it's a Lamborghini not a Porsche.

I must be very near the 90% mark as well, and that's likely to increase because my favourite TV programme ends this week.

These two I did some years ago. Went to an anime con just so I could visit the dealers room. Travelled into central London once a month to visit a certain Sci-Fi shop just to see what anime stuff I could get. (this might not sound too weebish, but NO ONE in their right mind travels to Tottenham Court Road tube station in the evening rush hour) More recently I watch between 5 and 6 anime episodes a day. Now that might sound a lot, but I watch them while eating my lunch and evening meal and 3 episodes is about 1 hour 15 minutes and just the right length for lunch time and dinner time. I used to watch TV, but the programmes that are on at lunch time and early evening are a bit dull and boring.

I know what you mean. I remember DOS and loading Atari games from tape.. Beep..beep..beep.. 20 minutes later ...beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep........LOAD ERROR!! Now we can load programs in seconds. CD's and DVD's seemed a really hi-tech step forward when they came out, actually I still prefer having a physical CD or DVD to play or alternatively an MP3 or MP4 to play rather than stream something of the 'Net. But what really made me think we were in the future happened at the start of the Lockdowns in 2020 when we all discovered Zoom. WOW! I could see and talk to 20 people in real time. No fancy and expensive studio facilities required, just a device that had a camera, screen and Internet access.

I'm no good at picking up languages, but I've picked up a few random words and phrases from watching subbed anime, none of which would enable me to have any sort of sensible conversation with a Japanese person! Although sometimes when watching anime I read the subtitles and think "that's not quite what the character said", most of the time the translation isn't wrong it's just the American term for the subject rather than the Japanese term. I guess I notice these more because I'm in England and we have different words for things. It's often said that America and Britain are two nations divided by a common language! When I was at work a guy asked me where the bathroom was, I nearly directed him to the shower room then I realised he had an American accent and he actually wanted the toilets.

So what if I don’t know what apocalypse means? It’s not the end of the world.

Looks like being another warm and sunny day. The weather man says it's going to continue like this for several days.

And in a couple of years time if anyone tells you that as a teenager you're too old to watch anime tell them that you're never too old to watch anime and that you know people in their 50's & 60's who watch it.

Just started Sailor Moon R. The thing that puzzles me about the first arc is, if you're a couple of aliens who've arrived on Earth to steal people's energy, why would you enrol and attend the local school where your lack of knowledge of everyday things is going to make you stand out?

Ah, I missed the announcement of the Macross 7 release. I saw the series years and years ago but I was always given to believe that it would never be released due to licencing issues with the songs, if I recall correctly the songs were not sung by the character's voice actors but were sung by a separate group and they owned the rights to the songs. Something like that anyway, it was a long time ago. Would I buy the Macross 7 release? Well, I guess that would depend on the price. I certainly wouldn't be prepared to pay what I paid for the Animeigo box set of the original Macross series.

I read on Anime News Network that Macross Frontier and Macross Delta are going to be released on Blu-Ray in the US as box sets. I saw episode 1 of Frontier a few years ago and wasn't all that impressed but I know nothing about Delta. Not that the release will make much difference to me here in the UK, the sets are likely to be expensive and it's not as easy to get US releases here as it once was. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-07-01/macross-frontier-macross-delta-anime-offered-on-home-video-outside-japan/.187277

I'm not quite sure about the "Waifu" thing, but here are some of my favourite characters. Ideally I'd prefer Nagisa in the centre, but the Minmay photo makes a strong centre image and gives the whole grid a much more balanced layout.

Why do astronauts use linux? Because you can’t open windows in space.

I don't play Minecraft, but I suspect that the answer is, if there's Spice there's sandworms.

Just finished Sailor Moon series 1. For a series that's 30 years old this year the quality of the artwork and animation stands up well against more recent series, the only real giveaway to its age, apart from the date showing in the opening, is the backgrounds which in some places are a bit basic. But it's still a good story with excellent characters.

I just had a look at tv tropes and the "does not like shoes page" is there. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DoesNotLikeShoes/AnimeAndManga After a quick scan through I couldn't find any series to match your description, but I probably wasn't looking hard enough.

The board is a Gigabyte B560 HD3 designed for the 11th gen itel core i5, i7 & i9 CPUs and has an LGA1200 socket. I've tried reseating the CPU and checking for debris on the socket, there aren't any pins as such just a lot of what would I think be best described as 'contact patches'. I'm currently in discussions with the supplier to see if we can resolve the problem. Watch this space for more news.

Don't worry about that. We've all been new to forums at some time. As has already been said, if you see a topic you're interested in just join in and add your contribution. The important thing is to enjoy discussing anime with your fellow anime fans.

Today I am a very unhappy anime dragon. I spent all morning and part of the afternoon replacing the motherboard, CPU and RAM on my main computer. When I'd finished the job I connectect up the monitor, mouse, keyboard and power cord, pressed the power button there was no display on the monitor so I waited, and waited, and waited then the speaker gave 5 beeps. I looked that up in the error code list and it means CPU error! I've contacted the supplier of the board and CPU and am awaiting their reply. In the meantime my main computer is dead and I am not a happy person.
