We are hoping to hold this contest for you all on April 28th and will be posting an official submissions thread for the event, so look out for it soon and get those creative juices flowing in the meantime.

april 28th ?, neat, i might be able to join in on this, since my last duty for hospital is tomorrow (april 14th), and the rest few days would be clearing my other duties (being exams on 15th/16th, and then possibly a re-re-re-re-retake on comprehensive exam, that i can pass now, that.i.have.no.more.obligations.in.hospital.and.can.focus.in.studying

no more "CBG STAT MED WARD (its on the 6th floor, while were in 2nd floor)" when i wanna study for the compre exam >.>

Hello to anyone reading this

I am new here and just wanted to post a small introduction topic.

 

A little about me:

I am Sofi and was looking for a forum for anime discussion and found this one so I am looking forward to being here and getting to know some new people on here ^^'

I really love just about any kind of anime and I've watched quite a lot over the years and open to watching some new ones. Currently I was rewatching Yu-Gi-Oh season 1, Boruto, Dragon Ball Super and FMA which is really all my current schedule allows me to keep up with at this time ;C

I'm really into art, gaming, making graphics and of course anime/manga. If you have any other questions about me you can feel free to ask and I hope to make some friends here.

im probably late, but i blame hospital duties 

welcome to AF-forums~

jesus, you watch all those anime, and are able to keep up with them !?, i couldn't do that ever, just studying takes up 100% of my time, enough to make me semi-inactive in this site, that and, leave my games alone >.>

i haven't even finished sekiro couse of hospital/studies smh

i also haven't drawn in a while couse of the same reason too...i betcha' my art skills are lacking bad now, that makes me sad ;(

now for the important question: do you enjoy J-pop songs too ?!?

hope you enjoy your stay in AF-forums sofi-san~

Curious if anyone has played, or does play, either Aura Kingdom or Digimon Masters Online?

I've played both but it has been several years and I am thinking about going back to one of these games and playing. Just wondering if anyone else in the community plays either, and what may have changed on them, or if it is better to play on a private server for the games as opposed to the main server since I have seen a few private servers for the two.

If anyone has any suggestions for games similar to these two I'd appreciate that as well since I'm trying to find a game to get back into to pass some time that I don't get bored of in a week

..."raises hand"

i played both, aura kingdom and DMO, but i somewhat stopped,

i used to play on KDMO, (korean server, since its more updated), but koreans somewhat blocked foreigners, so i went and played on GDMO (global), but soon got a bit bored of grinding back my digis, (im like, level 50-ish there? or something, forgot xD)

as for AK, cant remember what server i played on, if it was global-ish one or not, its a pretty fun game though >.>

i think the reason i stopped playing AK was couse, i had no one to play it with, and being anti-social, even in the internet, i just gave up >.>

i heard GDMO is doing greater than it was doing before, but its still a grindy-game as ever, and with my recent life happenings, i probably cant go back to it >.<...

unsure of AK news

as for suggestion on similar games ....

i got nothing xD, haven't played any games much since my internship, so i only heard of some games, and those "some" games are single-player-ish games ones >.> (i.e; sekiro, code vein, etc.)

why not try some gacha games ?!, two im playing constantly atm are, FGO, and epic 7, both are anime-ish oriented (epic 7 being fully animated, and having an "auto" function, for the lazy guys like me xD), while FGO has some sweet servants that you will grow and love onto (#teamkyutihime)

though, those are mobile-games, just heads up

Hey all.  

Figured I would post some of my artworks periodically on here. I do fan art, and the occasional original work. I use references  and my art medium are Prismacolor pencils. I really love to use Strathmore Toned Tan Paper. It really makes the color pop! 

 

Trying to draw more often- to keep myself busy at night instead of binge watching shows on Netflix and Hulu  lol  

 

so stay tuned! Unfortunately I don’t have anything else relatively new besides this picture right now  I’m working on more though!!! 

 

 

"urayamashi intensifies"

pretty 10/10 drawing by the way

im probably gonna start drawing soon again too, since my internship is finished (that, or be toxified by studying for my boards exam, im probably gonna draw a bit soon though xD)

The history of art is as old as time. But art that stands the test of time is truly worth considering.

Please share some of your favorite pieces of artwork from the artist or artists you like. What do you like about it?

I like Jackson Pollocks style of painting. Not only do I enjoy his works, but I feel this type of art to be worth doing in my spare time. It can be done by anyone at any level, letting them experience the joy of creating a beautiful work of art, which in itself is therapeutic, but I find this method also enjoyable.

yuuki rika, her artwork/way of drawing girls is just so....holycrap im so jelous

to be precise, this doujinshi, its a lewd doujinshi though, mind you, but man, i was somewhat inspired by the way the character was drawn, (so much i even drew one when i was still bad at drawing, like bad-worse xD)

...to bad there was never a continuation of the guys story :(, it was a fun story >.>..

next being <noise> 

and lastly, ofcourse, SeN, the way he draws kyutihime, or atleast, anyone at all (being supernatural-ish), is just, 100/100, perfect score

note: all the images i posted contains R18 scenes when red in pages (like 6+), so im not linking the name, only the artist name <.>

is...no one gonna say anything about how he has a bow in his living room by the window ?

Do you know what your Chinese zodiac is? I loved the storytelling from Fruits Basket that describes the banquet legend of the order of the animals arriving to the party.

I’m the year of the Horse. There’s all kinds of compatabilities related to Chinese Zodiacs. I like to see what year my friends are. So far it’s been true to the myth.

Mind sharing yours? And what traits you share with your animal?

Mine:

These Horses are kind and positive. They are too straightforward and blunt at times, hurting others without realizing. They place great value on love and need a partner that can tolerate their faults.

Compatible with Goat, Tiger & Dog

im year of the Ox, i seem to be compatible with snakes, roosters, and rats

Men born in the Ox year are reliable and trustworthy. They put their entire heart into everything they do. They feel great responsibility towards their family as well. However, due to their confidence (almost arrogance), they don’t allow anyone to go against their rules. They hold your children to high expectations, even though it might be unrealistic.

Fire 1937, 1997, These Oxen are friendly and social. There are no financial worries their entire life.

idk about arrogance part, but trustworthy part is pretty right

im also not sure about whole "fire" part, im aquarius, but a fire-ox

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?!?@?!?

Just watched a melon bread cooking video and boy I can see why you've only tried making it once! Hella steps!! 

You could try making it again using a quick recipe like canned biscuit dough or croissant dough, and just making the melon flavored topping, drizzling it on afterwards, like you do for cake!

whenever I bake a cake from scratch, and it calls for a confectioners sugar glaze topping, I just put it on after it comes out of the oven, instead of baking it on, maybe you'll have more joy from that instead of burn bread taste?

I've done lemon infused confectioners glaze by using lemon extract, I imagine it's the same flavor your going for?

brush your bread with butter still, or buy the buttery kind of canned dough and you may find a satisfying substitute for melon bread

yea, there's allot of steps, which isn't easy to do, but is fun to do nonetheless

canned...dough ?, i didn't even know there was such a thing o_o, im clearly outdated (that or, no one sells canned dough in PH for me to know about >.>...)

i-i never baked a cake before, i barely cook to be honest xD, im not a good cook, but i think im decent at it ? (not a top-tier chef thooo')

i've never tasted a lemon bread before, since no one sells it in PH, so im not even sure of what a lemon bread <should> taste like

but im assuming it tastes lemony, and delicious-y (and to be honest, i like adding sour-stuff/lemon flavor to my food xD)

There are so many anime genres, and sub genres, but I wanted to poll what our forum members watch mostly.

It will be interesting to see the fan base for certain genres here.

 

my most..eyeballed anime genre ?!

just kidding, maybe

most likely ecchi/comedy, i love the comedy genre, couse it always makes me "kek" so hard >.>

and ecchi, is for, well, yknow...^__^

though, i also kind of like school-based stories, atleast, i enjoy them in anime,

I love that you tried to make melon bread How adventurous!

now, did you google a recipe, or kind of just wing it?

I like the improvised lemon butter, sounds like you could have had a yummy bread if you hadn't burnt it along with the Dream of delicious melony bread.

i googled the recipe, that's how i knew i could make one (and that i could get the recipes in my area xD)
alas, the taste of defeat, is but not far, for the taste of defeat

tastes like burnt bread <.>, least the buttery-part was delicious, that's good enough for me

Even after years of being on forums I am hopeless with introductions but here goes anyway!

I'm Gem but have also been called Gemz so call me either!

I love anime, some of my favourites being Fairy Tail, Himouto! Umaru-Chan and My Love Story! Favourite genres are comedy, romance and slice of life

Thanks to brycec for pointing me in the direction of here.

Hey, how is it going?

My name is Jose and I'm 31 years old. I have been watching anime since Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon aired on Toonami. I would like to meet some new friends who are into anime. I'm also a gamer and I mainly play on the Xbox One.

eyyoo josey~ welcome to forums~

i think im the same, but i cant remember when i started watching anime, only when i "started loving" anime, which was when i watched SnS

im also a gamer tooooo, but, well, im currently exiled from playing too many games, due to, cough, life exams, cough

which isnt fun, cant wait for everything to end ~.~

Do you decide to consciously be an uplifting person to others? It's something I come by naturally for others, but find that I don't take the same care for myself without much needed reminding.

With that in view, what kinds of things do you normally do to take care of yourself, or uplift yourself everyday? Or today, if you've done so, good for you

aha~ that's so me everyday~

atleast, i tend to think of others well being, before mines, (i.e, not buying myself food, but wouldn't think twice to buy someone food)

that is, ofcourse, if i knew the person well enough

the only uplifting stuff i do to myself is, listen to songs, and play games/draw

though i have not played games in a while, due to my current project and exams coming up

but i have been listening to music, while i do my project ^_^, and on occasion, while studying ^__^

So to go along with the year old thread that I just necrod, what are some crazy attempts, or at least memorable, attempts that you made to recreate foods that you thought you saw in anime?

 

For example: I was always hungry after watching kids scarf down rice balls in anime, and as a kid myself, long before realizing I could google recipes to learn how to cook things, I just made my best guess

I cooked a pot of rice (not even the sticky kind) because we didn't have that, no... so I squeezed rice together into a cute little (tiny) but edible football shape And smothered it with honey. Yum!!

But later on I realized that they use more umami flavors rather than sweet with rice balls Oh well.

 

Anyone else do this?

SnS was one of my first anime's, and watching shana eat melon bread made me interested in trying one

but everyone must understand, no one sells melon bread in my country, thus i had to improvise and create my own !

which, turned into a bread with butter

it didn't taste like melon bread, i think, but it was kinda good ?

atleast...10% of it (the lemon-buttery part), the other 90% was the taste of failure

it was burnt, i never tried to make another one again q.q

I think that's called "discord".   

Seriously though, while I would kind of be interested in an AF chatbox, honestly I doubt I'd use it much.  I don't even use discord much, and I have that on both my phone and on my desktop.  (I usually do have discord running in the background, but it is always buried under approximately 37,864 windows.  Give or take.  )  Every day or so I dig it out and look at it or post something to it, but at that point I might as well just be hitting a URL and using a web-based forum like AF.  The only time I really use discord in real-time mode is when I use it as a TeamSpeak replacement while actively gaming.  Not exactly the typical chatbox usage mode.

There was some talk a while back about getting AF users on a discord channel somewhere.  I don't think it went anywhere though.  There's also a few existing anime-themed discord channels (not AF-related) already out there too.  I've tried a couple but never found one I liked.  And like I said I don't do the realtime chat thing much anyway.  (I'd be interested in hearing from people on their experiences if they've tried that sort of thing themselves though.  Anyone found a server they like?)

 

i-i  dont think that's what he meant by chatbox (i mean, you can have that as a chatbox, but i dont think that's what he meant)

i think what he meant was having a "chatbox inside AF forums"

similar to our sister-website (the forgotten-lair)

i dont exactly know if its possible, but im sure @ArchieKun, or @Optic will denounce to you if its possible or not, and whether if the community wants one IF its possible

I just wanted to know if anyone else is feeling heartbroken. I know that I am, but what about you guys?

i mean, i was heart broken for a day or two when my crush shot me down

though now i care little for her, i mean, i find her to be a total QT, totally my type, but if she doesn't like me, and ignores me 90% of the time unless she needs to speak to me, well....

go figure, facial = 10/10 (especially her maintenance on her hairstyle, totally 100/100)

quietness = 8/10

personality = 2/10 (atleast towards me, even though i help her whenever i can, its sad that she wont say "thanks", or anything, just being quiet when being helped and not being thanks is...yknow, not a fun thing to do ?, but it could be just me and i want her to atleast speak to me normally)

Hello, I'm excited to be here! Literally just finished watching the latest episode of MS100 and I am floored !!! I'm just looking to talk to some like-minded people and maybe even made a couple of friends. How has your guys' day been? Anything interesting? I would love to know x

hey hey~ welcome to af-forums~

mob psycho 100...the artstyle looks similar to OPM artist's way of drawing, (and i really like his way of drawing, its so simple, yet so good >.<)

im sure you will find some cool guys in af-forums, i mean, if you actively post that is

i mean, you can't find friends, unless you take the first step ! unless your a real qt and stream live, though, those are fans more than friends

my day's been normal, just doing my project, and then i got bored, and so im just gonna take a break for now, atleast until work starts, which is like, in an hour or so, ill probably continue my project in work, when theres nothing to do <.>

haven't heard which post ill be at yet though, hoping its ER, couse then theres a 50% chance i can do it, couse if im INpatient, chances are ill sh*tton of patients to cater too

and it wont be fun >.>

i mean it will, but i mean wont be fun on making my project ~.~

edit: leader just posted my post, its ER, CHECK MATE AHA~!

now lets pray my luck is at benign ER, rather than toxic ER (chillax and not many patient, rather than patients lining in there)

Yo. The name's Isaak. 

I joined this forum hoping to find some like minded people. Please treat me kindly.

 

As for a bit about me... I'm seventeen-years-old, and have been watching anime since I was about eight or nine-ish.

 

I'm a huge fan of Shonen anime- some of my favourites being JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, One Piece, and Hunter X Hunter (among others). 

 

It's kind of embarrassing to admit... But I'm also a HUGE fudanshi. Not very manly of me, really... But I just really like my BL. (￣▼￣|||) I also tend to read a lot of shojo. Please refrain from judging me too harshly. （〃・・〃）

 

Other than anime/manga, my only other interests are dying my hair, playing games on my switch, and making cute costumes for my furbaby (a rat named Astrid). 

 

That's about it. See ya around! 

(Sorry if that was too much text...)

a fujoshi huh, (technically fudan, since male xD) dont worry, no one will judge you for your taste's, i mean, after all

the stick down there only makes things more interesting

but yea, welcome to the forums isack-sama, i too enjoyed those genre before, but now im barely watching anime couse of...school. ones worst enemy to making life easy

i mean itll be easy after school but yea, till then, its studiestudie and mostly diedie 

hope you enjoy your'th stay in AF-forums~!

(not sure if i met any other fujoshi/fudanshi's here though >.<)

This game is literally everywhere. My friends are talking about it, its popping up all over my phone, I'm even in study Hal and I see a guy playing it on his laptop. I just want to know from the geeks and nerds like myself, is this game worth it?

I've played the game here and there only because my friends pressured me into it and its enjoyable. Though, what I'm hearing is that it's the Fornite killer. 

to be honest, apex legends looked pretty damn dope, i've yet to play it, but i feel id enjoy it

it's battle royale, done right after all, you can revive teammates, which is a big +, from the old "oh i died, guess i have to watch my teammate play till he dies", that or "leave him and join other scrubs"

what it lacks is solo-mode though, but the game is centered on team-work, which is kawaii for me~

overall, i rate this, a titan/10

@XII360 I guess that's a way to go by it by dealing with it. Sometimes people tend to drift apart and something once strong they had is now different. because it's changed. Or they changed as a person. It just happens sometimes as well getting rejected by people. Some relationships can med and be fix taking time and some  simply cannot. Those that can't I suggest to just learn to let go and move on from it also remember what you learned from it.  May hurt but it will pass. There is always someone out there for you sometimes you find them or they find you. My opinion anyway, heh Lastly having humor is nice I sometimes do that myself so just always remember to be yourself and if someone does not like you for you then there really not worth it.  Thank you again for welcoming me here again. 

yea, i wont force the relationship to be fixed, but i will act as i have always acted, and i will respect her wishes, and hope we can be friends atleast, couse i mean, ill be working for another 3 months with her, soooo

besides, the saying of "there are allot of fishes in the ocean" is true, i mean, have you seen the ocean ?, there's so many fishes in there

i will try to learn from my mistake, but odds are, since its a "relationship" thing, and i have very little knowledge in that field...odds are ill fail to remember such acts <.>

nothing like failure for exp points IRL though~
