@The Lurker Of Midnight The only one I can think of with a "cat" that turns into a girl is in the Tenchi Muyo multiverse. There's Ryo-Ohki who is a "cabbit" (cat/rabbit, eats carrots, looks adorable, also is a living spaceship) who can turn into something of a humanoid female. I haven't watched the latest, Ai Tenchi (on my list when I get time) which does take place in a school and is a collection of "shorts" but it's worth looking into in case any of the characters look familiar.

@Illusion of Terra LMAO! I read this at work last night and nearly died laughing, then I told my tech about it (who has no idea what I'm talking about) and she just stared at me like I lost my mind hehe. It took a bit of explaining but everytime I grinned after that she could tell through my mask and would say "you're thinking about doing it again, aren't you?" Needless to say, when I popped the platinum tonight (did the whole DB questline is about 3-4 hours, took longer to get my wanted level up in all 9 holds than you'd think), I totally ended up doing that. Opened up my window, did a dragon shout, then closed it back up again and then called up my best friend and left a shout on her voicemail too! LOL Months went into getting this trophy and man did it feel good to pop that platinum. I'd definitely do the Thieves Guild questline all over again too...probably would just destroy the DB (like I wanted to this time but alas....you miss the trophy if you do that) next time, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Thieves Guild. If only I could actually beat the Prairie King game in Stardew Valley I'd have a shot at getting that one (and as much as I love that game I'd love to have that trophy) but I am really bad at those types of games... >_> Only made it to the second level once. ~sigh~ At least Skyrim was doable This makes my third platinum and definitely the one I underestimated the most and worked the hardest for

In the past few days I've been feeling a bit under the weather with my neck hurting, so gaming I have been doing instead of cleaning house. In Skyrim, I got the Galdur Amulet, rounded up the last few daedric artifacts I was missing, I mastered the werewolf perk tree, finished up the College of Winterhold quests, and as of today finished the Companions Questline too. I only have the Dark Brotherhood left and a few criminal actions to make and I'll have the platinum at long last. I think I'll actually get it this week (my light week for working). When I get it, I'm not sure how I'm going to celebrate....can't go to my favorite restaurant to treat myself... Maybe we'll go out on the boat fishing Well....after I clean it up from the winter crud. Definitely going to be calling up my best friend and gloating to her about this major accomplishment....many months in the making....missed my self-imposed deadline as having it done by my birthday....and accidentally lost my husband in Blackreach (which I feel bad about...he's not dead, but I imagine he's probably become a Falmer slave (or is likely unable to figure out how to get through the door back into regular Tamriel dwarven ruins lol) but I'm not going back down there after him)...anyways, it's been quite the journey! Every time I tell my friend about how much closer I am to the plat, she's laughs like I'll never get there....haha....well, almost there now.... ~rubs hands together in anticipation~

@Illusion of Terra ~gasp~ how dare you make such flagrant accusations against my khajit brethren, no matter how true they may be! even as a khajit, I rarely steal unless a quest demands it with no alternatives. I love the night vision as a class perk and in my opinion it is the best of all the race perks, waterbreathing be damned. That's what we have alchemy for =p being a nord these past 4 months has been a real eye opener...like..."this is how the other half lives!? the horror....the horror....." life is hard without nightvision my friend. Really hard...lol

I always played the first 2 levels of Life Force. Man I loved that game. Even thinking about it now gives me a bunch of warm fuzzies inside. I have never done the Dark Brotherhood either.... this marks this first time that I've ever completed the Theives Guild line and will complete the DB line. I'm just a nice person... robbing people and killing nonhostiles just....goes against what almost every RPG has conditioned me to do lol. I'm really exploring a new side here

@IIVIsouljam like @Illusion of Terra said, check into some local electronic repair shops first. I saved my old NES from my childhood. Dug it out of the trash defiantly as a child and told my mom I was going to fix it someday (the screen was pixelated so you couldn't really see...I was playing games by memory till that power surge killed the power adapter part). Kept it pristine under my bed until college when I asked a friend who worked at a mom&pop repair shop if he could fix it. Told him the problem and a week later he had replaced both broken parts (and tried not to charge me for it. I made him take my money lol). I was so happy and he said he'd never seen one so clean lol. You can repair them! Or check your local retro gaming store for a replacement before Ebay even. They usually guarantee hardware so you'd be able to return it if it didn't work. I've been replacing my laptop but thankfully although the laptop doesn't turn on anymore (it tried rewriting the reboot sector a few times before it went completely kaput) my harddrive was still good. I've got it set up as an external drive so I managed to salvage my old game save files (and my writings, my pictures, my work stuff, my life essentially). I've been mainly on my ps4 trying to get through the dragonborn questline...which I always avoided before...part of my not wanting things to end fault. My goal is to platinum it...after this I think it's just finish the companions, winterhold, and Brotherhood lines then find the rest of the daedric artifacts that I've missed so far. Then I'll kill some guards in all the holds, escape from jail and possibly pop the platinum trophy at last. I really just want that trophy as proof of how much I love this game.

I used to have this issue where I enjoyed the journey so much I'd never finish the game, even if that meant shelving the game. I'd get depressed right after completing a game. Then I examined why I was doing that and forced myself to go back and finish a ton. I still get depressed post-endgame but these days I don't let it stop me from finishing a game. It's still all about the journey for me but I make sure I close the book these days too before I open a new one. I'm essentially the gamer type they sing about in The World is Saved.

Never watched it but it sounds like Negima.

I loved Snow White too! If I end up quarantined I'm going to have to put it on the list. Favorites are hard....I can do favorite by genre...but favorite overall? Too many to choose >_> Favorite Romance, definitely Snow White with the Red Hair. Favorite Reverse Harem? Hmmm.... Hmmmm….. Hmmmmm…….. Probably again, Snow White with the Red Hair! LOL.... okay. Seeing a trend here. Favorite Tenchi? Definitely Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar…. Favorite Mecha? Well, I do have a fondness of Zoids.... Favorite Isekai is hands down Log Horizon (YAY FOR SEASON 3!!!!! =D ). I don't think I could pick a favorite Space Opera...I love them all so much! =D I could keep going, but I shan't.

Yeah, I've heard of locust swarms 20 years ago but none recent. The grasshoppers will eat everything in their path for sure. As efaardvark said, ducks'll eat 'em but you need a lot of ducks too lol... Always purchase the crop insurance. The year you don't, locusts or flood will get your crop. Never fails.

With all the closings and "social distancing" going on, anyone got any Quarantine plans anime-wise? They are even tslking about canceling my favorite anime con if things get any worse... Most everyone seems to be getting paid leave except me so I'll just dream of what I'd do (especially my sisters...both school teachers with classes canceled). I think I'd probably binge on some Space Brothers and possibly finally watch MY Love Story (still haven't gotten around to it). Maybe clean my office too and update my anime inventory list. I'd love to rewatch Snow White with the Red Hair too.

Welcome to the forums

A little late but I have a few suggestions. If looking for something similar to Arjuna, try Magic Knight Rayearth. It has similar pacing, is a magical girl type, and similar art. Then if you like Rayearth, consider giving Ronin Warriors a try. It's art style is very close to Rayearth and although not a magical girl type, it is a true classic. For something like Solty Rei (I loved that anime!), try Outlaw Star for starters and possibly Galaxy Railways. You have a scifi/space opera component and older looking graphics.

We're good and not hoarding here but lots of people are going crazy. Thing is, if you are healthy, young, and without multiple health conditions (this is the vast majority of the people panicking and hoarding...it isn't the elders with stroke and copd panicking. I see far fewer of them with concerns. Maybe a whole 5 in the past two days compared to over a hundred young people. One was a young lady wanting to set up her grandma for a month's precriptions because she was the caregiver and she didn't want to chance herself infecting her grandma since she works in a crowded public space, just in case. Now that's a good grandchild.), you'll likely not be in mortal peril, even if infected. The craze is robbing the people who need supplies like frail elderly and healthcare workers (we have no gloves anymore. Without PPE I'm exposing myself to all sorts of other risks far more perilous) because of the indoctrination of the masses from watching too much of the propaganda machine on the tv screen. The propaganda machine is and always has been the problem. Not enough facts, just a narrative they want people to blindly believe and they've snookered quite a lot of people this time around.

So, I've been thinking about a few topics as of late and one of the things that has really grabbed at me is just how old Anime really is. Most people don't realize it and believe that it's something that popped up in the 90s but in reality, it is far older. Animation itself goes back to the early 1900's (over a century ago) and Anime itself as we tend to consider it goes back to at least the 1960s. With that in mind, maybe it's time we pay a little homage and send some nostalgia back to "old school" gems (or even the burnt charcoals as some might be) that really started this genre. So my question is, what is the oldest anime you've ever watched? And was it a good anime? Would you ever watch it again? Even if you haven't watched any particularly older anime, you probably have watched anime inspired by one of the Greats (Gundam, Voltron, Speed Racer, Lupin, anything Matsumoto, Cyborg 009). Hey, even the original Sailor Moon series is from '92, making it practically 30 years old (yikes!). It's actually kind of interesting. Most people who don't like anime (especially older individuals) probably watched an anime like Speed Racer or Voltron in their youth and enjoyed it, not knowing it was anime. Comparing anime then and now, what made you like it more? Graphics aside, are things (plot, characterization) really better these days? For me, I never did get around to collecting and watching all the many iterations of Gundam Wing. I almost wish they'd release a "superset" of them all, but it would probably be too expensive for me to even consider if they did. And while I did watch the newer version of Speed Racer, I sadly never got to see the original. For me, the Matsumoto works (Galaxy Express, Space Battleship Yamato, Harlock) are probably the oldest anime I ever got to see (Galaxy Express from '77) and...maybe I'm biased but I've always considered them to be great. In consideration harems were not the main focus of most anime back then. Then you had to stand on your story alone, so there was a lot less fluff and far more focused material. That alone is one of my number one reasons for fondly remembering older anime. I'm kind of partial to tragedies too so the fact that most all of his work is tragic in nature really draws me. Perhaps the tragedy too is that the stories were more serious back then and did not rely on constant comedy to keep people interested. The story itself was enough and comedy would have been a distraction. Anyways, those are my thoughts on older anime. What are your thoughts? Any notable oldies that fill you with nostalgia? Even if you are only going back 15-20 years, that's still old by "today's" disposable society's standards. Share it with us!

Possibly a fusion. The only card one that I can think of that starts by a waterfall is Shinzo but I don't remember much of it.

Welcome to the forums I'm more an RPG player myself...currently working on platinuming Skyrim (I think I'd be done by now if I actually just aimed for trophies but who can't stop going down all the random rabbitholes in that game?!).

I've been playing Skyrim on the PS4 nonstop for nearly a couple of months aiming for the platinum. Before I played it on the 360, and then on the PS4 only with mods so I had a clear free start. I've been trudging through the thieves guild questline for what feels like forever. I never did the thieves guild or dark brotherhood before but it seems you have to be a bad guy to get trophies in Skyrim so I'm doing it. They are very involved questlines.... anyways, I think I might finally be getting close to the end. It won't be long now.... then its off to do the war, then the dovakhin questlines, then the dark brotherhood. It's fun but everytime I think I'm close I find out that I'm not lol.

Depends. You starting at 1 or 10?

I actually did my monthly check for updates on it this past week...just a day or two early it seems Still, I'm happy to hear it It has been too long. Every year, I spend a week or two where I rewatch certain anime masterpieces (what I consider to be anyhow). Log Horizon always makes the list. Now to insulate myself from spoilers. I had planned on catching up with the novels but hadn't gotten around to it yet so I'll be on the edge of my seat when the anime comes out.

Baccanno! (Horror/Comedy) Squid Girl Actually watched My Bride is a Mermaid but found the comedy dry and repetitive. Ended up giving the set to my best friend. I think she found it pretty amusing, so it definitely comes down to personal tastes on that one.

Are you asking about the top or bottom part of the meme?

Well, I've started up a new Sim on Sims4 since I got the GetFamous expansion pack on sale. I'm an awful person....even my husband thinks I'm terrible. So, I made her a starving actress wannabe....noticed that vacant lot in the valley looked like it really was missing some burning barrels... I ended up having her dump 10k on it (mind you she only started with 20k), then instead of even trying to build a house, I dropped a tent, cooler, campfire and camping chairs down and then built a little 3x3 shack to hold her valuables (like a computer). To solve the bathroom problem, I put an outdoor showerhead on the backside of the shack and a toilet...then threw up some dividers and a few trees behind it all to hide it... a clothesline and laundry bucket completed the scene... It actually looks like it belongs on that huge lot. I'd throw up a screenshot but everytime I try to attach one tonight I get an error message. Anyways, I feel bad that's she's so poor...her bills are only ~$300 and she's only got around 72 dollars to her name but eventually she'll ascend to fame and leave all this behind...right? Still, I put the poor girl in a tent...and she doesn't even have indoor plumbing.... >_> Yep, I'm a terrible person. That said, her lack of belongings and comfort at home has me sending her out into town for things...so she's not a shut-in like most of my Sims end up being at least! There's that, right? LOL....silver linings.

Yeah, I enjoyed Rise of Skywalker enough to watch it twice. Which is saying something...Disney definitely made some leaps with it but it was enjoyable. I'm an old time OG Star Wars fan and I was able to enjoy it. On another note, Jumanji and Knives Out were both really good too.

This is actually quite difficult as I have many that stop at an episode count of 48 (Reboot for example). As far as Shounen goes, Yu Yu Hakusho fits the bill but I enjoyed Cyborg 009 far more. That 50 episode requirement is just hard to hit. Altogether probably Case Closed would be my favorite. Murders are always entertaining
