i'd have to go with anime figurines. although it would be much harder on my wallet, at least there's more options and variation. would you rather learn how to play an instrument or learn how to paint?

specifically this citron glaze cheesecake

wow, your art is amazing! the way you draw is seriously so cool. the first thing that really stood out to me is your lineart! you do it in such a satisfying way. the variation in line weight really makes the drawing pop! i know that isn't a particularly crazy skill in art, but i think it's the little details like that which really brings a piece together. a lot of your more recent art in here also has a more lineless look to it (not completely lineless of course besides the shoe in june i think, but i can see the difference). i think it's because of your rendering style, but that's super cool too! i also really like the way you render! the last few fully rendered pieces here have an almost scratchy look, for lack of a better word. i don't mean that as in it looks scratchy and messy, i mean it gives you art a cool texture that i enjoy. i also really love the way you shade hair, faces and clothes. everything, really. you're also great at drawing things like armour and guns! i personally struggle with them because i think they're too structural kind of? like, of course everything has structure, but I think it's easier for me to draw humans and stuff because they have more life to them. armour and objects feel too stiff and blocky to me. not really blocky, but i don't know how to describe it. but yeah, you draw the really well. i'm only really a beginner artist, so sorry if this comes across as me trying to act like i know a lot! i just think it's really cool when someone notices and points out all of the details in you art. so, yeah! i think your art is super amazing!

What are some anime that you think either weren't long enough or were unfortunately cut short? There are plenty of anime that could've been better if they were given the time to be fleshed out more.

i've been really getting back into anime/manga recently after hardly watching it for a year or so! it's been a lot of fun Last night I watched all of Yuri!!! On Ice and I really enjoyed it! I've been reading/watching too many depressing things lately, so this made me feel a bit better lol. Watching Yuri skate really made me think about my own art and how I can improve, especially with expressing emotions. I wasn't expecting that sudden burst of inspiration and consideration, but I'm not complaining. The show was very moving to me :] I also finished watching a short South Korean indie anime called The Summer! It was very wholesome and cute, even though the ending was pretty sad. I watched episode two of The Summer Hikaru Died earlier. I also have under ten episodes of Monster left

Doing this yet again lol. I just randomly remembered this thread and it's been a few year now, so why not? Death Note, Monster, Banana Fish Kotaro Lives Alone, The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K, Doukyuusei (Classmates) Howl's Moving Castle, Sword Art Online, Fruits Basket (2019) edit: I completely forgot Your Lie In April I would put that instead of something from the bottom row Death Note, Kotaro Lives Alone and Saiki K have stayed the same since last time

Probably Matsuda Touta from Death Note! He's been my favourite Death Note character for a few years :] I probably have a few other comfort characters, but he comes to mind first.

Yes! I've heard that there are musicals of Death Note, Attack On Titan and Black Butler. I'd image there's definitely more of them though. I unfortunately haven't gotten to see any, at least not in person. However, I did watch the Death Note musical on YouTube. A few people have uploaded it. If the opportunity ever arose, I would definitely go see one. That would be really cool, especially in person

extremely

I've been listening to the Death Note musical soundtrack a fair bit these past few days, so I was wondering what everyone's favourite musical/play adaptations of anime are? Also, what are some anime that you think would work well/be interesting as a play/musical? I'm not sure how many people in this forum would take interest in this, but I thought it was an interesting question :]

The eye icon isn't actually popping up. It used to when I would use a tablet, though. Maybe it's to do with the layout on my phone? I'm not sure. Either way, thank you! ^^

i don't know if he would count, but this thread has been dead for a while so i'll do it anyways :] Xie Lian from Heaven Official's Blessing

I finally finished Your Lie In April recently! Although I had the ending spoiled a long time ago, it was still really impactful. Such a beautiful story. Definitely made me want to get better at the piano I recently watched Banana Fish as well. Again, such a beautiful story! The ending made me cry but it was worth it. Seeing Eiji and Ash's relationship blossom was such a treat. I would say more, but I forgot how to make the spoiler boxes on here lol. I've also seen a few people complain about the artstyle, but I personally liked it. I've also picked up Monster again! You'd think I would've finished it (considering my profile picture for the past two years or so and all) buttttt nope. I only ever got around to episode 31 then I just never got around to finishing it. It's a great series, though, so I decided to restart it. I finally got back up to episode 30 yesterday! I love Monster, so I'll continue to watch it :]

my school recently got the death note series, so i borrowed the first three volumes today! i've already watched the anime ofc, but i look forward to reading it too i've also been re-reading our not-not-so-lonely planet travel guide. it's definitely my comfort manga now <33

the other day i watched the movie Doukyusei. it was a cute and fun watch. i'll definitely revisit it soon i watched another bl (i forgot what it's called, sorry!) and i enjoyed that too. i might search for what it's called later (can't be bothered right now, haha) today i finished watching Our Happy Marriage on Netflix! it was a really beautiful series that i enjoyed. the art was lovely and i loved watching miyo grow as a character, as well as her relationship with kudo. i've also been watching Your Lie In April over the past few days (i believe i'm up to episode 10-11?). i've only ever heard positive things about it, so i decided to finally watch it. so far, it's been amazing! the story is great and it's been making me want to play the piano more. i don't don't why i waited so long to watch it.

i'm curious, what is your favourite thing about anime? it could be something deep and meaningful to you, or it could be something as simple as it just helps you pass time. i love anime for many reasons, so i don't think that i could give an exact favourite thing lol. however, i love how anime tells stories in so many different ways. i think it's super cool that it allows so many stories to be expressed in different ways with so many different artstyles put together by so many different people. you'll find something for just about everybody. i also love how it's created communities both big and small, like this forum. i've had many great interactions here and it's awesome to hear the thoughts and opinions of people with a common interest. i also love getting to see so many cool and unique art styles ^^

i just binged Twilight Out Of Focus! i'm a sucker for things that focus solely on romance, so i enjoyed it, haha. it's about three couples getting together in highschool and they're all in/tied to the film club. it was twelve episodes and each couple got three-four episodes centred around them each (the finale was centred around the main couple as well). because of this, the relationships did feel quite rushed, however it was still enjoyable. all of them had very unique personalities and dynamics that were entertaining to watch :]
