TyCoya

Welcome @wolfzx !!! Glad to see you join and like the others have said, I'd really love to see some of your work

Hope you find everything to your liking and get to know your way around. See you around!  

There's a huge difference between my favorite game and my current favorite but for now I'll just mention what I've been playing recently: 

CrossCode - An indie ARPG game that's on Steam. It's single player but the story is really well done for an early-access game and so far I've gotten 20+ hours out of it and I've loved every second. Also the art style is pixelated but the combat and interactions are very smooth and pleasing to the eye. It's a little pricey at $19.99 (I got it on sale) but you'll get well over a dollar an hour of entertainment and it's still got lots up updates and additions to the story coming in the future. I'd look it up a bit first but to anyone who is a fan of games like this will surely fall in love with it. One last thing to note is that I've been playing it with a PS4 controller so I don't really know how the game feels if you're planning on playing with keyboard and mouse (some parts may actually work better with a mouse). Thanks for reading my promotion of this game I've been playing :3 

Welcome to AF! Don't worry we have a wide range of ages here (some are 20+ years older than yourself) and everyone that I've met so far has been extremely nice and welcoming. There's a lot to check out so I'm sure you'll love it. See you around! 

Not sure if there is a suggestion thread so I guess my first question will be: Is there one? 

Now on to the main question: I like to put some effort into the "about me" section of my profile. Will there ever be a time when instead of defaulting to the "activity" tab going to my profile will by default show my "about me" tab? Just a suggestion that would be really neat as that is what profiles are all about right? Thanks! 

What is your age group?

17 

What is your preferred genre of anime?

I don't have a preferred taste, I simply enjoy the story. 

Male or female?

Male

Do you think anime is for kids?

Like most others who replied to this thread, I believe that saying anime as a whole is for any specific group of people is incorrect. It spans a large variety of different genres and age groups and therefore can be classified as "for everyone". 

I've been meaning to watch this... has anyone else? Thoughts? 

I've been watching anime every once in a while for almost a year now. The first one I watched was Attack on Titan on Netfilx because my younger brother, who was 13 at the time, told me it was actually pretty good. After I finished AOT I loved it but didn't watch anything again until about a 1 & 1/2 years later when I randomly had the urge to watch Death Note. I literally watched all 37 episodes in less than 3 days and I kinda fell in love with anime after that. My total anime watched is 9.3 days worth with 22 shows completed though I still consider myself an "anime noob". While I have heard of a lot of titles and have been keeping up to date with what's new, I still feel really inexperienced. Well, I joined this club and there's that. Nice to meet you all.  

Ok so, as someone who easily gets attached to cute female characters I will say that it sometimes adds to their "cuteness" and puts a smile on my face making me care more about them. That being said, if it is too blatantly obvious that the purpose of an entire episode was fanservice it can also become a bit annoying or cringey so I'm gonna settle on this: In my opinion fanservice can be used in a positive way if isn't going completely out of the way of the story or isn't awkwardly thrown in.

Edit: It also really depends on the genre of the show. In some cases where the setting is really laid-back and the main focus at the time is friendship or something I can deal with it. It's most annoying when it is obviously out of place and feels more forced than it should. 

Can anybody start a club? Or is there a requirement that must be met first. 

Also the update sounds great and thank you @Optic for making sure the current clubs are cleaned out.

Hi @TyCoya welcome to AF!

We are definitely a lot smaller compared to MAL and Crunchyroll forums. Out of curiosity what kind of flaws do their forums have?

Feel free to bump any topics you find of interest within the forums and if you have any questions or feedback please don't hesitate to let us know!

I said MAL out of anger lol. I was mostly complaining about how Crunchyroll has no way of seeing any comments you've posted previously without actually digging through the video you posted it on itself. It also has no way of alerting you if someone replied to your comment which is outrageous in my opinion considering how long Crunchyroll has been a thing. I looked it up and these are just a few of the suggestions people have been making to improve their forums for years to no avail. I really like the simplicity and friendliness this forum presents itself with so I think I may stick around and see where it goes

Edit: Another thing to mention is that this site feels so smooth and is really pleasant to the eye.

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)?

I do the same thing where I either binge a lot of anime or play a lot of video games. I just recently finished Hunter x Hunter and Made in Abyss which I REALLY enjoyed. I'm working on a couple right now some of which are The Ancient Magus' Bride, Assassination Classroom, and Psycho-pass. I'm also currently trying to decide whether I should watch Haikyu! or not. In regard to video games I've been most recently playing this awesome ARPG on Steam called CrossCode. You should check it out if it's something you're into here

i dont know how long it took u guys to get to that part but unfortunately mine was uneventful

i got bored along the way since nothing seemed to happen...........y take so long to get to the  eventful parts.......atleast have some captivating dialogue!!!

I'm assuming it was for character development / getting you attached to them so their deaths would actually mean something. 

Yes! While my main focus is to master Korean first (since I'm half Korean), I would love to eventually learn Japanese and maybe one day travel to Japan. 

What anime are you currently watching and what do you think of it so far? 

I suppose 'salad' could be a very large number of different things thrown into a bowl together so yes, I would say that I do in fact like salad. 

If you had to pick a new hobby to permanently replace watching anime, what would it be?

Hey everyone, my names Tyler and I'm from the US. I'm Korean-American and I'm 17. I was getting kind of sick of how many flaws the forums on both Crunchyroll and MAL seem to have so I furiously opened up a new tab, searched 'anime forums' to see what the first result was, and found this site. I do spend most of my time watching anime rather than discussing it because I'm quite new to it all (I have much more experience with video games but I'll get there eventually). That being said, whenever I see a topic that I actually know something about I enjoy mindlessly typing and sharing my thoughts on the matter. I don't really know where else to go with this so I think I'll just leave it at that. Nice to meet you all! 

Three moments in particular stand out to me. I froze and got really emotional when Sayori told me about her depression (she was my favorite), I jumped like a little bitch when it cut to Sayori hanging from the ceiling (I was more frightened and excited than sad because I knew the game was about to take a turn), and I felt a sense of joy and nostalgia listening to Monika's song at the end of the game (it was beautiful). To sum it up I think this game provoked a lot more emotions than just sadness which is what made it so damn good!
