I think that being hugged by a girl you didn't know could be a problem for a guy as well. It's never happened to me, but I came close. While waiting in the line to get into the dealer's room at an anime con there was the girl in a cute cosplay outfit going along the line hugging people, she missed me out, probably because she thought I looked old enough to be her father, and she wouldn't have been far out about that.

I've now finished rewatching My Dress-Up Darling. I enjoyed watching this series more than a thought I would because Wakana Gojo and Marin Kitagawa are a wonderfully mismatched pair of characters, one might even go as far as to say they are perfectly mismatched, as their personalities complement each other and they work together so well. I'm pleasantly surprised at how little gratuitous fan-service there was, yes, we do see a lot of Marin, but not really much more than would be seen in a 'beach episode'. Personally I thought this was a good thing because I find that fan-service laden series can get boring very quickly. Overall I thought that the series had a good storyline which was well told and supported by excellent artwork and animation. I was pleased to see that a second series is in preparation, as far as I am aware no date has been announced but rumours suggest late 2023/early 2024.

That's a difficult question to answer, but raking back through my memory of a quarter century of anime watching I think that it was most likely to have been the Macross movie Macross: Do You Remember Love.

Welcome to the forum.

Same here. One of the reasons I watched Itaziss was because it was similar to Clannad & After Story. Quite true. Any other girl would have walked away and told him why she was walking away. His behaviour on their honeymoon was bordering on grounds for divorce.

Power Down

I've finished Itakiss. Overall it's a good series although I found the storyline a bit disjointed and repetitive in places. In its favour it's one of the very few series to follow the characters beyond high school and into the workplace which is something I'd like to see more series do.

Election

Welcome to the forum. I hope you'll enjoy your time here.

The hot, sunny weather is back and it's currently 27c. I.m not complaining, I'd rather have than .

Welcome aboard the forum. I hope you find plenty to interest you here.

I'm currently watching Itakiss and not really sure what to make of it, but it's quite good fun to watch. Curiously, while it was released in 2008 the artwork and character designs for the supporting characters make it look more like a series from the early 1990s.

Cardcpator Sakura Clear Card, which has a rather more serious and complicated storyline than the original series.

I don't think I would have thought about it if I lived in America. One of the oddities, or curiosities, between American english and British english is that the same words can be used to describe different things, sometimes with amusing consequences. And that's before we get into the fun of differences in spelling.

I agree with you about that, but to be fair it happens in subtitles sometimes as well, and as the substituted Western equivalent is usually a North American one as a British person I sometimes find these as obscure as the original Japanese reference. I totally agree with that. It also can have amusing consequences. Because I have no children of my own, and few friends with school age children, I know more about the Japanese school system than I do about our British school system, which has changed a lot since I went to school.
