I was really happy on Valentine's Day even if most of the single friends I knew were so bitter about it and started calling it Single Awareness Day. I actually forgot that it was actually Valentine's Day because I got so busy with my requirements at school and it turned out that I passed for my College Entrance Exam so I was really hyped up and I didn't have the time to think about a certain holiday that obviously have nothing to do with me. I'm going to live without calendars and watches now I think. Looking back at all the Valentine's Day that passed me by I wasn't really concerned about romantic gestures and having dates. I was much more concerned with the part that I should buy chocolates for my parents and make cards for them so that they'll take us out on a date. I'm quite family oriented probably because of how my Mum grew us up. This concern went on and on until the recent occasion and I don't feel anything bad about celebrating Valentine's Day with my family. I think there are two perks about it. One is that I don't have to be labeled a loser about being single by those Valentines Stereotypes and Second I can help my parents from not making the decision in adding to the total number of the human population by November. I'm actually a superhero. Lels. One thing that happened on Valentine's day that changed my perspective about love was the poem that my teacher in Literature shared with us about someone relating love to an onion. When we talk about love we always picture out romantic stuffs and gestures such as Chocolates, Cards and Roses. Instead of a typical Valentine's Day filled with Chocolates and Cards my mind dove deeper with the onion. "I give you an onion. It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It promises light like the careful undressing of love." When we indulge ourselves in loving someone we hurry on the loving part and forgot about the details. We hurry like our life depends on it. Like if I don't hurry now I might let a 1000 year chance slip out of my hand. We aren't supposed to hurry. Opening an onion is the same as encountering love. Quickly undressing it to discover it's core can make your eyes well up with tears resulting with you getting hurt. But taking a steady hand with a slow manner of slicing it, making your hands introduce themselves layer by layer can somehow lessen the tearing effect. In love we always get hurt and that is inevitable but suffering for that pain and letting it take over you is an option Keep breathing everyone! Kampai~

Hello there! Welcome to the forums! It's lovely to meet you. I think friendship can be gained easily in here Tomodachi da yo! ~

Is this true @Optic senpai?!

Optic-senpai! What kind of dere are you?

There's Konata an otaku character in Lucky Star There's also Gabriel from Gabriel Dropout. Although she's much of a lazy ass like Umaru and gets unreasonable sometimes

I'm having a crush on him already

Personally as a girl, I really think they're kind of irrelevant. In my own humble opinion (which do not intend to offend anyone of all sorts) , I think fan service is somewhat a way of saying that "Let's hype all the fan service since the only people watching anime are men." If some male fan service are offered I might change my mind If people want fan service that much then maybe the producers could put some fan service bombs on OVAS like some animes do and stay away from the main flow of the anime. It gets out of hand sometimes which kind of distracts the viewers from the main plot of the anime. But if the anime is mainly an ecchi then that's not issue. Ecchi lives for fan service *ecchi queen before* lol ~

First of all, I love Killua Second, Nice to meet you!

I tried drinking tea once and it was particularly Chai Tea. I was in the counter and for once I thought maybe I should try some tea since my so called I'm-an-adult-now-so-I-should-drink-tea self kicked in. While I was waiting for my change I took a sip and goodness gracious I almost spit the whole sip at the counter lady. It was bitter and sooo I decided. No tea for me

Yona of the Dawn is one of my favorite historical anime. The plot is amazing although the ending is well... pretty much a cliff hanger. Welcome to the community Yona-hime sama! I hope you'll like it here

Thank you Sleepy wolfy san! It's been a long time! How are ya?

I wasn't planning on telling since I wanted to be called senpai but you're right Dad!

Me too. I watched it pretty late compared to you guys cause as always I've been waiting for it to finish airing and I was really happy when they announced another season for 2018! That means the waiting is lessen Lol

Nice to meet you! How do you like the forums so far? Reincarnation? Do you have some anime in mind?

I personally prefer having Honorifics myself. Before when I was just starting anime (If my memory serves me right it was Mermaid Melody Pichi Pitch) whenever the characters would say an honorific for the first time in the anime a note above the screen will be showed on how those honorifics are used such as -sama is used for people who are treated as someone with a higher ranking by the one said the honorifics. That's basically how I know some honorifics as well such as -sama, -san, -kun, -chan, -senpai and so on. The thing is that in translations there are always times when we really can't fully translate the whole message of the anime because there are words that doesn't have any correct translation in other languages and I think this mainly why I pretty much love watching subbed anime compared to dubbed ones.

Welcome to the Community! It's lovely to meet you! To start off, what kind of animes do you like? I ppretty much love Slice of Life myself and any anime which have an interesting plot BTW Pharos-san, can ya introduce yourself a bit more ? If ya need any help don't be shy to tell me!

I gotta say Yuojo Senki. Mainly because I didn't read the plot much so I ended up getting shock on what the anime really is. I really don't know if this counts But I think it's much amazing than what I expected it to be cause I kind of expected a war with old equipment without the magic and stuff. Was really amazing for me and I can't take the cliff hanger at the end. I really hope it will get another season.

Welcome to the forums! I hope you'll like it here and it's definitely nice to meet you Geek culture and Hip-Hop culture?? Do you mean songs or what?

Yep, definitely been waiting for this. Felt bad cause I thought it already started airing. I think Made in Abyss is also airing it's second season this year so I am DEFINITELY waiting for that too. For the rest, I don't know yet. Have to check my MAL

HAPPY NEW YEAR MINNA-SAN! It's finally 2018! Twelve Months ago it feels like the start of 2017 They say we should meet the new year with positive thoughts and positive vibes! On my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter my feeds were filled with 2018 New Year Resolutions and I was like "Here we go again!" The first day of 2017 didn't really go well for me since my dog died and I've been really depressed ever since. I didn't really picture out any of my dogs dying and this was the first. My mum woke me up on the second day of 2018 and told me the depressing news. She was like, "Dot Died" and I didn't really had the time to refresh my brain and I thought I really accepted it already cause the day before he was already pooping blood and the vets were closed cause it was a national holiday. He was suffering hard and I couldn't do anything and feeling that as an owner is the worst thing ever. I hugged my hotdog pillow once more and stood up. When I saw him lying over his bed with blood and my dad getting ready to put him in this huge black plastic bag and bury him in our yard I started crying and I felt stupid. Really stupid. It was a really dramatic moment for me and it felt a lot more painful than all those breakups. I stayed in bed all day and fell asleep. Funny thing is that I wasn't really ready for the truth cause in the moment I woke up I laughed at the idea and told my mum that I had such a horrible dream. When I was little I hoped my dreams would come true and now I take it back. Even if my first few days of 2018 didn't go exactly as planned I still hope this year will still be great! I have a lot of things happening this year and I'm hoping for the best especially for that entrance exams that I am hoping to pass! This year might mean me not watching too much animes as before since I am entering college. I still do hope that I get to watch a lot of animes though. I hope your New Year went fine and will be great! Happy New Year Minna-san and no matter what happens Just keep Breathing! ~

Ohhh, I see. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer.
