That's a great song. Energetic and well sung. 8/10 FMAB - Philosophorum

Exactly. I mean, its still kinda not cool that they use some awesome graphics for promo when they know that they might have to downgrade it... On the other hand, people can also assume that the graphics are going to be downgraded when the game is still only halfway in development.

I was frantically thinking what buries are, until I realized that you probably mean berries? (Otherwise I have no idea what buries are and couldn't find anything on the internet...) But yes, Berries and greek youghurt are also really good. Or you can take different kinds of nuts --most stores sell these 'Nut Mix', or something like that-- and put them into the yoghurt, and then put a bit of peanut butter in.

I do when I'm home (don't have much mobile data so I use it only when I have wifi). But yes, most of my music is on my phone or on soundcloud. The problem with soundcloud is that it not always has all the music in good quality

Mostly with USB, Music and Pics that its. I don't transfer much from my pc from my phone though... When it comes to something like PDF that i want to read when I'm going somewhere I use nextcloud and share it with all devices at home. All my stuff for electronics is in the basements and when I download a book on my pc in my room I put it on nextcloud and can see it from my pc in the basement.

I mostly drink water, not so much into soft drinker, self made elderberry juice, tea (black tea) or black coffee. Sometimes i put a tiny pit of drinking chocolate into my coffee just to have a bit of that flavor mixed in. Favorite food.,.. Definitely Schitzel <.<, stuffed potaoes/ tomatoes, mozarelly with tomatoes and olive oil, Cordon Blue and potatoe pancakes (pro tip: put jam on them) When it comes to snacks, I like to take greek yoghurt, put a little pit of nutella into it and mix it. That's just amazing. You can do the same with yoghurt and peanut butter. Otherwise i don't eat much snacks. Bananas, apples, grapes in summer and self made cookies in winter. Maybe sometimes tortilla chips with cheese.

Well, didn't NMS also outright lie about the content ingame while other games just enhance the graphics for trailers? In case of some games, the devs are forced to downngrade the graphics because they didn't expect certain things to eat so many recources... especially a problem with large open world games

I actually forgot about privacy >.< I just thought it`d be easier to collect the data... Anyway, I did the survey. Just wondering, if you want to answer, you don't have to, why did you chose the anime community? Any specific reasons or did you just have to chose any subculture?

Isnt't there this google forms thing where you can make surveys? i think that might be helpful for these kind of things, and makes data easier to collect. You can give different kinds of ajnswering options, like mutliple choice, long and short texts and boxes, and you'll get some easy to read page with all the answers organized.

Ah, haven't heard that in a long time. 6/10 Joshiraku ED

Moe ist stupid Kawaii is way too overused - both the idea and the word Monogatari is most definitely not a stupid harem series Even though SAO awful, Asuna is one of the better female characters in anime (who are not protagonists) Waifus are stupid - (Except Kaiki. Then again, Kaiki is best girl-) (<- and they`re good meme material, as proven here >.>) Ergo Proxy isn't so deep as people claim it to be Attack on Titan, the anime, isn't that good and relies too much on epicness and edge People should stop asking for more season Death Note is only good on the first watch Akame ga Kill is meh

Okay-ish ... its good but has nothing really exceptional to stand out. 5/10 Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-Hen - Ending (Étoile, et toi)

7/10 good and very energetic Record of Lodoss War - Kiseki No Umi

I second that. Many writers fail to understand what makes the cliché so great, or the trope. (Trope and cliché are two different things. A cliché is an overused trope. The Oh So Evil Business Man is a trope, then it was overused for third grade films and now its a cliché. A cliché is usually a trope, but not vice versa) Let's look at a one clichés - The Dark and Ever So Evil Lord. Tolkien, who, I think, invented this trope (though heavily inspired by mythology) created the Dark Lord Sauron, with the understanding that the most alluring thing about the overpowered enemy is, that the Dark Lord is only effective as long as he is also mysterious. The Dark Lord is so powerful (but often restricted to one place, e.g. tower/castle..), he only needs to send his (also rediculously powerful) minions -think of the Nazgûl-. For most of the LotR book we don't even get to see Sauron, only the description "He has only four on the Black Hand, but they are enough" - that's mysterious and terrifying, and the reason why Tolkien's Dark Lord works. The enemy is unkown, mysterious, evokes a primal fear, and often not even confronted directly. Some writers don't get that and let the Dark Lord appear and monologue frequently. We know who he is, what he thinks, his powers (which tells the hero exactly how strong he has to be), etc... I'm not saying that this trope of the Dark Lord doesn't work when the hero has to directly confront and fight him, but it should be the last epic showdown - no monologueing, no revealing of masterplan until he is defeated. For this trope to work, the Dark Lord has to stay shrouded in mystery and needs to strike absolute fear into the minds of the heros (nothing is more offputing than a hero certain of victory - that's a great way of killing off the suspence) With this as an example, I think the sentence "Clichés are not bad, poorly used clichés are bad." holds a lot of truth, and is deeper than it seems at first glance. The great thing about tropes and clichés is that they are simply and easy to understand. (everyone understands what a Dark Lord, a Destiny, the Epic Sword is) In case of romance anime, we also often have the argueing 'couple' shouting at each other in front of the entire class - this cliché is often just used for comedic effect, but IMO also a lost opportunity for some great (and possibly funny) dialogue which could be the foundation of some good love story. Shouting and isnulting each other isn't romantic -possibly funny, but not romantic- but at the same time, nothing is more suspicous than a couple than never argues. Or in case of the phone going off right at the moment of the kiss at the riverbank? The point of the trope was probably comdic relieve, or to ease the tension, but can be used to highlight that the kiss is more important, OP has showed. But you can also use it as a good plot device. Throw the phone away but later the MC finds out that the phone call was important, maybe his mom wanted to inform him of a deceased family member, maybe an invitation for a job interview he wanted, etc..., and now he has to live with this, which could be the opening of an entire arc. I think, just throwing away certain tropes, like Beocat wrote, doesn't solve the underlying issue - that writer's don't put effort in using the trope effectively. Why does a harem full of people that don't fit together live in the same house? Rather than deleting the this trope, one should try find a good explanation, and maybe try to actually write some good and plausible character interaction (I know, a shocker!) Someone made a pantyshot when the wind (for one reason or another) raised some woman's skirt? Now he gets reported for sexual harassment, and could be the start if some redeption arc of a hopeless pervert. Some girl slaps guys for every glance at her - well, definitely gonna meet the law and why does she even do it? Give her a backstory that explains it, and then have her some carthasis at the end, eventually making her a better person. So, this has less to do with tropes and clichés The idea of character development is very well etablished in japanese literature, even in older ones. The naive and brutal swordsman who eventually learns to finds the way of the sword as a more spiritual thing after a live of violence at hardship is a common trope in older japanese literature. Yes, there are stories of a perfect hero who has already all his skill and knowledge, especially in fairy tales, but we have the same thing in almost every culture. (While there are many interpretations of the Athurian legends, Lancelot is in many if them already a perfect knight without much character development needed) Joseph Campell argues in his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" that for any longer story, the hero -the MC is alway referred to as the hero- has to undergo character development, for the mere fact that it is almost impossible to write one where this is not the case. Short story can have heroes without development, long arching tales can't, otherwise they fail as a long story - and he came to this conclusion after studying tales from all around the world, including asian literature. His concept of the "Hero's Journey" is famous , studied and used by many authors. (and halso been used by authors centuries ago throughout the entiry world) Thus, I fear that the overpowered is in a new fad in anime (and also video games - power fantasy is becoming more and more popular...)

Dog girls all the way. Because A) Dogs are best B) Dogs C) Dogs. More to say?

Not what I would listen to, but its okayish - the singer is good though. 5/10 FLCL Progressive - Thank you my Twilight

I've played every AC until Unity, but missed out on every installment after. think they devs should give the franchise a rest - a lot what they did in the newer games (from what I've seen. I don't know a lot about the story) could be done in a new franchise without assassins and templars, and all that. Just have a games with historical settings, I think the latest games could even be considered light RPGs which kinda doesn't have a lot with the previous games in common. But I definitely enjoyed the games I played, even if they derailed a bit from the original concept of the series.

Never heard the original... a bit too much at once for me 5/10 Millenium Actress - Run

Not a great fan of superhero comics -though I have some old Batman comics-, but I read Scott Pilgrim and Lost at Sea, both by Bryan Lee O'Malley, and Mark Crilley's Bordy's Ghost and Miki Falls - absolutely loved all of them! Then there are the webcomic like Bastard, Home, Sweet Home and Paintworld. The first two are pretty dark (well, Paintoworld agruably too...) but great reads.

Iconic - nothing more to say, and if you don't like it: "Who the hell do you think you are!?!" 9/10 Berserk - Tell me Why (Opening by Penpals)

Kimi ni Todoke - great romance anime (and manga) Hyouka - A bit of romance, but mostly school and mystery ReLife - Romance again, and comdey (and again, a good manga) Katanagatari has been recommended, and I'd recommend it too. It has very long dialogues (and every ep is 50 mins long) Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso - Romance and a lot of music, heartwarming and heartbreaking at times

I would argue that anime has taken more from western animation than cartoons have taken from anime. Apart from the fact that animation came from the west, look at the early exampels of anime (Benkei Tai ushiwaka from 1939, or even the more popular series Astro Boy) - their animation style was more or less a copy, or at least very heavily inspired, from the western (makes sense, since this was their only reference point at that time) except with japanese folk tales (like Momotaro, Spider and the Tulip) instead of european. These are integrale part of the history of anime and as such influenced later works, including today's anime, even if they seem so much more different. I'd say the 60s were a time when anime found itself an identity apart from its wetsern counterparts, yet it wasn't until the 70s where it manifested and until then, anime was heavily influenced by the cartoons of that time. In the meanwhile, anime started to (significantly) influence western animation some ten years ago (Avatar from 2005 as an example). In terms of Of course this only concerns animation - the drawing style of anime started to evolve way earlier, and story telling is an entirely different topic... and a bit more complicated as it might seem at first. I mean, the anime type story telling has just started off in the west, while the western episodic style has long been integrated into anime, in regards of this I think western animation has had a stronger impact on anime than vise versa.

Hmmm. I'd say anime and manga itself might be a bit too big, as both are a specific style (one could argue media), to say what attracts me to ut - like saying what attracts me to music, or to books. Different anime/manga tell stories differently, but(t) there are certain consistencies across most anime/manga, like there are certain conisistencies withhollywood movies, bollywood, or the entirety of rap (I firmly believe rap is a style, rather a genre). Lets just compare it to western animation in general: Western animation, in general and with exceptions (Avatar, Voltron, etc...), lacks deeper story telling/characters while most anime do tell a, sometimes long arching, story as opposed to an episodic one. Why that is, is, I think, plausible if you consider the history of anime and western animation. (Yes, there's slice of life, and I'd argue that anime like Cowboy Bebop, or Case Closed, do have, for most of its run time, something that could be considered episodic story telling but I'm talking about the majority here.) And here comes anime - the fact that it more frequently tells longer, conected stories with deep characters, conflicts, backstories and so on. Also, anime isn't afrait to put a mirror in front of society to raise questions why certain things are the way the are and critisize things, while most, almost all, cartoons predominantly focus on pure entertainment. And then you have the vast amount of different genres that western animation simply doesn't have. In short, variety. But there has been improvements with western animation studios, mostly due to the popularity of anime and a growing adult audience. So, what attracts me to anime/manga: I could go into different genres, but that'd be a bit... long... But I can agree with points raised in the other comments. The weirdness of certain anime, sometimes the great action scenes that are only possible with animation (in terms of manga, its the art style and different panel methods), partly the foreign feeling that are due to the fact that it is a style from a different culture (different comedy and themes), how it conveys emotion, the great combination of soundtrack and picture (at least in emotional scenes), and so one... Both, cartoons and anime, have different goals in mind and they often do the things they're supposed to do well and while there is much variety in anime, there are also a ton -like, alotalotalot- of clones, as comeone previously mentioned, and eventually it comes down to taste, but dismissing either of those two is, I think, a bit harsh. I have yet to find an anime quite like Gravity Falls or Animaniacs, which, if I made a list of my favorite animations series, would most definitely be in my top 10, while can't think of a cartoon with a great story like Monster or rough action like Berserk.

Funny, or rather gleeful in a happy manner. I can kind of imagine it to be some Town BG music in an old RPG. 6/10 Berserk - Blood and Guts

Intersting ... at first I though I wouldn't like it-not my cup of tea- but it kinda got me halfway through and the second time I was hooked! 8/10 To aru Kagaku no Railgun - Sister's Noise (S1 OP)
