  1. I see. Yuri on Ice is the one that's on my radar. Everybody's been raving about it.

    As far as Berserk is concerned, the thing I've been hearing is that it's not exactly the best adaptation, so, sometime in the future, I'm planning to read Berserk manga.

     

    My experience wasn't really extreme, people kept saying 'why are you watching cartoon when you are 15(or 16)?', etc. Sometimes, I went out of my way to explain that anime is not like that, and most of the times, it fell on deaf years. Sometimes, I ignored them.

    I'm sure many people have had similar experiences. I've met people like that in other forums. It'd be great if you start a thread.

     

    I see. Yeah, if you appreciate ballet/dance Yuri on ice is especially fascinating. its surprising in a lot of ways. I didnt think I'd love it so much but I couldn't wait to watch the next episodes. it kinda pulls you into the excitement.

     

    It would be interesting to hear others stories. It's been very liberating for me to debunk those myths. And it could be funny to hear what other silly things/myths others might have heard growing up

  2. I see. That's the reason why I'm kinda putting off watching DBZ. The long fight scenes. Though, it helps that Dragon Ball Kai, the remade shortened version is there. Dragon Ball, the original series has good pacing, though right? Devoid of the prolonged fight scenes, and such, that is.

     

    Yeah, much better pacing! you actually get a resolve in most episodes, if I remember correctly. Seems like since so many of the characters are being introduced and Goku is growing/ training things move much faster. I think the longest fight scenes are in a longer tournament setting, but even so its different fights with different fighters.

     

    I would recommend it, especially if you enjoy good humor.

  3. Blue Exorcist!!! OhEmGee!!! I just LOVE Blue Exorcist!! I'm waiting for a new season or a new movie. How 'bout you?:)

     

    :3 I'm still on the first season! I accidently watched ep. 1 in season 2, and it looks amazing!

     

    I love the leading character, he's so cute! The whole short temper, rough exterior with a really sweet heart and good intentions is just great. I haven't gotten too far yet, but it seems like there's some good character dynamics building.

    He reminds me of Kyo from fruits basket a bit.

  4. We had a thread recently talking about tropes and have mentioned them elsewhere in other threads but I feel like making a list out of them might spark more conversation, more understanding, and might entice anyone else to make their own so here we go.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    4. Stop assuming 99 percent of relationships are straight. To be fair, there is at least one anime I saw a trailer for recently that should be a part of the Summer 2017 anime season that clearly two men in a relationship, but then again, it looks like it's a typical high school drama in every other sense, and I already mentioned the problem with that. Plus, there's only one of these that I'm aware of and yet three anime out there trying to be Re:Zero? No thank you, that's not the kind of anime world I want to be a part of. It doesn't matter if it's Yuri, Yaoi, or hey, for the sake of being really compelling, a new anime genre where the main character is Bi and has a hard time choosing between someone of the opposite gender or of they same gender. A love triangle like that could make for some amazing story telling. It needs to happen more often, and in doing so, it might be a way to force anime as a medium to be taken more seriously by those who treat like it's still for kids.

     

     

    This is the one that jumped out to me!

     

    I love that I'm seeing more variety these days in this department. Its just so heart warming! And its truee , the same hetero plot/ relationship patterns and motifs become boring. you have to really be unique to stand out as a male/female character relationships from the countless fantastic character love stories that exist.

     

    But Yuri!! on Ice was simply amazing, a beautiful , subtle yet so so adorable. Great male/ male love with of- age cast and a very unique story.

    I also love when it is realistically portrayed, the questioning about which gender youre attracted to and subsequential love interests and dilemmas are explored. its just so much more relatable

  5. Well it's not a 'current read' it's more like, 'recently finished again for the umpteenth time'.... xD

    My favorite book to read is "The Hobbit" by JRR Tolkien. <3 In fact, it played a big part in my relationship with my husband and my proposal to him. It's a very special story.

     

    That's very romantic I love that sort of thing!

     

    My partner and I have a special elder scrolls love together, it makes me feel fuzzy inside to share something so geeky with him

     

    Adorable! ❤❤❤

  6. Again, welcome to the forum, Luna.

    As for me, I love discussing anime, whether the anime is good or bad. That's why I joined this forum.

    The advantage I had was that it was my sister who introduced me to anime, so, I had company at home. Plus, I usually discuss anime with people who I know watch it too. I learned my lessons when I was mocked too. But, that didn't deter me.

    Can you name some of the new anime you watched?

     

    So far I've watched some of dbsuper, yuri on Ice, miss kobayashis dragon maid, blue exorcist, ancient magus bride and orange.

     

    I want to watch one called berserk as well because I enjoyed reading some of the manga.

     

    Yeah, I had some family who introduced me to anime as well and some good comrades. It helps alot!

    What I find funny is that often the very thing being shunned Is actually super healing. I got a bad rap, almost as if being passionate about anime was a sort of disability or social outcast. :/ maybe kind of extreme but that was my experience anyways. could be the demographic of where I grew up.

    Ive found as ive grown it actually helped me to be emotionally healthy, happy and creative.

    I should start a forum about this, I have a lot lf thoughts on this topic! maybe others have had similar experiences?

  7. Dragon ball Super eh? So I assume you've watched/read Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, then. Or did you watch Dragon Ball Kai? I'm very curious about DB, since it has such a legendary status, and I haven't watched a single episode of it.

    And, welcome to the forum. I hope there's a lot we can discuss.

     

    I used to watch some DBZ on tv back in the day here and there. I preferred dragon ball the manga&anime though, for the humor and goku's light heartedness. DBsuper captures that, with surprising amount of comedy! and doesnt linger too much in DBZ's infamous 20-episode fights. Theres more story to it, in my opinion.

    I haven't watched much other than those two.

     

    ^^

  8. hiya and welcome to the forums from me as well Lunabelle

    Thanks Wodahs. It is very welcoming here! I think I would like to share some ideas, I don't have others to talk to these days about such things! It would be fun just to see if anyone would find my story ideas as entertaining as I do. xD

  9. The stigma is very silly! I once had an art teacher say that anime/magna wasn't really art. ?! talk about uncultured... Its pretty obviously just arrogance in most cases but as a youngster those kinds of messages can eat at your passion.

     

    And I do agree, its a great time to start watching anime again! I'm just loving all the new beautifulness.

    I feel I have a lot to catch up on!!

  10. Hello Madera! I'm new here also but I love how everyone gets a greeting here, so I wanted to share that greeting too. Personally I've read lots of magna but only watched a couple anime all the way through. I've been watching dragon ball super recently and also the ancient magus bride. (I hope they make more....!)

  11. Manga was a huge part of my life growing up age 10-15. watching miyazaki films, discovering sailor moons and inuyasha... life changing! I attribute much of my creative passion to coming from being exposed to that awesomeness. I don't know what I would have done without it! its helped me through life many times.

  12. I'm new here and just wanted to say hi!

     

    A bit about me, I love talking about creative ideas and stories. I'm always interested in in depth analyzing of psychological plots or just general happy silliness!

    Its been a while for me since I indulged myself in anime goodness. I think all of the social cultural messages of saying enjoying anime is a bad thing got to me... (anyone else have this experience?) So I neglected my passion for it for a while. Then recently I've discovered there are so many new anime and it is really such an amazing artwork on many many levels. So I'm reintroducing myself to it and trying to find new awesome anime.

     

    I just watched Yuri!! on ice , and it was soooo good. I cried. and admired the fantastic animation and ballet like movement.

     

    Anyways, that's a bit of nonsense from my head as a hello!
