Welcome!

Welcome to the forums! I spend a lot of my time on both video games and anime though it tends to swing one way or the other depending on the year. Last year was anime for me, this year looks like I might be playing catch up on video games. Any favorites (games or anime)?

Welcome to the forums!

Shirayuki obviously Red haired pharmacist. Need I say more? There are some runner ups, but she's my absolute favorite.

The Sidonia theme is pretty good. I'm sticking with it.

Dark...space opera...with at least one hot guy this time

Well, Yona of the Dawn and Snow White with the Red Hair are two of my favorites but might not be what you're looking for. Snow White Truthfully when were you last watching and how do you define "strong"? That word can mean different things to different people.

Welcome back. I hope you are you feeling better! I did not get to meet you last time, so it'll be good to hear from you now.

Welcome to the forums Revix. Any favorites you can share?

Welcome to the forums. What brought you back to anime after all this time?

I believe they had a hand in producing Knights of Sidonia so they are awesome in my book

I felt like the movie was a final farewell to his character. It even made it sound like his character didn't have a place in the world anymore.

I am a fan of the series but more of an Akane/Ginoza pairing fan. I never really liked Shinya's character. He seemed too perfect...which is generally a turn off for me in anime (I love flawed people!). Akane's naivety is a pretty big flaw for her at times...though she too is not as flawed as I would like. >_> Main protagonists rarely are...

It sounds like the second season of Magi. The underground prison anyhow.

Welcome to the forums

1. Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess 2. Anime NYC 3. Shirō Hitsujikai (Okamisan and her 7 companions) 4. Yusuke Urameshi 5. Misty 6. Hiiro no Kakera 7. Pork 8. Probably Harlock....not sure which in my collection is the oldest. I have a solid collection of Matsumoto works.

I would say Rena and Shugo from the dot Hack series....though you'll probably be mistaken for Kite and BlackRose. They aren't really mainstream characters.

Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forums. What kinds of anime do you like? Any favorites out there? We're pretty friendly here so I hope you enjoy your time here.

I don't agree with the reason being it resonates. Honestly, it's because it's easier to write. High Schoolers have no bills, no job (outside random part times), spend all their time essentially building relationships with pretty much no to few responsibilities. It's perfect for most stories and easy to build around. Most anime focus on multiple characters building relationships and usually have something odd that takes up a lot of time (either fighting, creating, or whatever) that would be difficult to easily fit into an adult life with worries about paying bills, a full-time job (no time to really socialize and build those relationships all day). It's easier to use high schoolers. Some really good ones find ways around the issues above.

Same here. I'm looking for a career this year. I've had enough of jobs!

Welcome to the forums AmFrandsen. We are a pretty nice group so I hope you enjoy your stay. I too love going to cons. There's one I go to every year (might not make it this year...) and I think if a fan has never been to at least one, then they are missing out big! That was an interesting list you have too.

Hmm.... If I'm watching it subbed...not a problem, it's part of the original work. However, watching something dubbed...makes it different. For a first time viewer (for instance, my husband), honorifics is another slipperly slope to climb (and truthfully, he'll just be annoyed that it doesn't immediately make sense and not like the show). For a long-time fan of animation, it probably isn't so much of an issue. Truth be told, no one ever explained honorifics to me and I never looked it up. I just slowly pieced them together after years of watching. I'm very happy that these days we are keeping the Japanese names (for example, Usagi instead of Serena, though that particular flip wasn't a huge issue for me back in the day), but honorifics maybe need to be dropped in some of the dubs. For some, like Hiiro no Kakera, the honorifics are actually pointed out and argued in the dialogue (kun, chan, senpai) and so while it feels odd sometimes, it makes sense. It would be odder to try to translate that into english than to just leave it as is. Others, it comes off as klutzy. It really is dependent on the anime. I personally prefer that an anime pick a language and stick with it and just avoid these half'n halfs. Nothing can be done for it anyways. It isn't so much of an issue that it would be a turn off for me but for newer fans, it might muddy the water a bit.

Probably Log Horizon....though I'd be very upset missing my sweet furbabies. I can totally see myself as an Enchanter/Apothecarist or Swashbuckler/Apothecarist. I used to play MMORPGs so it isn't a tale too outlandish to fit me...and I know what types of characters I preferred playing (usually support roles, far away from the front line....not a tank....occasionally an attack focused player). I think it would be pretty awesome really....(and really I could make my own way without the burden of taxes! Yes...I know the Round Table did institute some taxes but they were very small...not like the piano falling from the skyscraper type taxes that are crushing us all now. Who wouldn't love that?!). If not that, I could maybe see myself in a space opera.....traversing the stars. I'd probably be more engineering/mechanically inclined...if just a bit to get by. There's quite a few to choose from. I could see myself in Crest/Banner of the Stars (not part of the Abh Empire I imagine) or inside the Outlaw Star Universe. As long as I'm on a ship and going somewhere, I'd be fine. Just don't let Hitome read your future in her cards.... Whose country would you be part of?

Welcome to the forums. I follow a little Kpop but nothing major. I use Akiji to keep up with the Kpop headlines and anime news and there's only a few songs that I listen to regularly. I want to actually download a few songs here but not many sites carry the songs I want (even if willing to purchase) so that's been a bust. Oh well. It's nice to formally meet you and Merry Christmas
