[mal type=anime id=240] After going through three of the five parts of Lupin III, I'm watching Genshiken - after watching the first episode years ago but never continuing it (no idea why though) finally picked it up again and I enjoy it o far.

There are several ways to watch the Monogatari series. Either by book release order, anime release order and chronological (though, this one's definitely not recommended for new watchers). Personally, I recommend the book order, though many say that you should watch it in the anime order, but only a few things change. (For more info, you can read here) To start, I'd say: Bake > Kizu (all 3 movies) > Nise > Neko Kuro (Black). Then you can proceed mostly with the anime order. The biggest and most significant difference is that you watch the Kizumonogataru movies after Bake, instead of them being the last to watch. So, why exactly? I mean, it definitely hasn't the strongest monogatari plot, but I'd say it's still decent. I think it's clear that Nisiosin put more focus on the banter and character interaction in all the novels that were released before the first anime adoption (Since he thought that they wouldn't even get adapted, and he didn't even plan to publish the novels at first) - not that he put less effort in the dialogue afterwards!

Lupin III (2015), actually my first Lupin III anime and I'm liking it so far (halfway through). The aesthetics, the animation and drawings fit the series well. The characters and their stories are intriguing and hillarious at the same time.

I wouldn't say making friends is my strong suit but I wouldn't say that I'm having any problems with it either, it's just that I usually meet most of my friends when I have to meet them, i.e. school/university. So the problem is staying in contact afterwards. I basically don't have any contact with anyone from my school anymore, except my two best friends who basically live down the road. One problem might be, that I talk too little when I don't know the people I'm talking with and talk too much (and people keep telling me way too fast) once I see that they might have similar interests as me - so, either they like books, languages, technology or anime and people often tell me that I talk about random stuff too much - whatever they mean with that <.< Probably some Monogatari-esque kind of dialolgues since I like talking about words themselves and that language is kinda weird So I guess that might be why I usually hold back when I talk with people that aren't friends...

Depends on the anime. If I was heavily invested with the characters (and that's not really hard for me...) and/or liked a long going story, I usually feel some kind feeling thats kinda hard to describe. Some kind of emptiness, maybe? Trepidation with the thought of having to leave the characters behind, now that I can't see them again? Movies like When the Promised Flower Blooms (especially stories with parents and their children) or series like Durarara!! usually hit me hard (despite their shortcomings with several characters), which is one reason why I try and not think about if I liked the movie, series, book I just watched/read immediatedly after finishing it and usually wait for one or two days thinking about it - escept if it was a hype anime, one that just was awesome... Funnily enough, certain anime, while I loved them, don't affect me that way. Like Megalo Box - I was invested with the characters but it left me with a feeling of "Yeah, an awesome series with a deserving ending.", and nothing more. (It's a good example of the aforementioned hype anime)

I'd say @awesomedude20 s point six is pretty valid too. Sometimes an anime was never meant to be continued but just maybe the first arc which ends with a cliff hanger a la "read the manga/LN". This is usually pretty great for the mangaka whose works get pushed by this. And, I think, from the very start its probably not possible to keep producing to an on going anime when the auhtor might not be sure when he/she's going to finish it or for how long the manga will go on. And, it might be better for the anime industry to just pump out adaptations of various mangas/LN and see which anime gets famous and then continue the ones that did - no reason to create semi popular anime when you can just adapt the first few volumes of a different manga/LN.

I usually torrent stuff from Anime Tosho, and sometimes when I watch a seasonal anime (usually dont do that do) I watch it on a streaming side. There`s one streaming side, which lets you syncro your watched and watchhing anime with your MAL lists and ot has pretty much every anime (so far haven seen an anime they did not have) on the highest quality - some claim its better than most paid services (cant say much about that, since I don`t pay..... I know I`m horrible) But yeah, mostly torrent stuff. I do have some movies as DVD since my parents like some of them and we watch them together. There was this wunderful time when you could watch anime on youtube except that every ep was split in three parts or so) and it often was some crappy quality but hey, that`s how I sterted with anime XD

So for films in general, I think, the anime christmas movie is Satoshi Kon's Tokyo Godfathers! So if you wont to include a movie, definitely this one, IMO. There's Itsudatte My Santa - a two parter - but I can't remember how it was, (seen it a long time ago) but I think it's pretty decent and on the funny side. Maybe not necessarily a christmas anime but a winter love story is Winter Sonata. It's an amazing story, but also very mature one and if you want something lighthearted, don't go for this one. Also, it was originally in Korean with Jap. subs - I don't know if a japanese audio exists but since you probably go for english subs, the dub language doesn't matter either way. Another amazing movie (and my personal favorite anime movie!) is Ame and Yuki. Its funny, wholesome at times, but also features dramatic scenes with well written characters and a fitting OST. If she likes SAO, she probably has seen the movie?- otherwise include the SAO Ordinal Scale movie. Can´t say much about since I'm not a SAO fan, but fans apparently like it. For episodes: I remember that Hetalia Axis Powers hat a funny chirstmas special (ep 31). Hetalia in general is a funny comedy anime which just plays of stereotypes of countries and their people Toradora ep 19 and K-On ep 7 are the only other two that I remember. Oh, and there is the Love on the Ski Slope on Christmas Eve special for Detective Conan, (or rather the Magic Kaito specials) Sorry, I dont know that many special episodes from series, or at east don't remember many... But definitely go for Tokyo Godfathers and I definitely recommend Ame and Yuki and Love on the Ski Slope.

Cold, dry and snowing.

Hana, from Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki seems to be a great mother to her children. Just look at the things she does for her children throughout the movie - and all of these alone! Kouhei Inuzuka seems to be a good husbando, considering that he tries his best to raise his daughter just shortly after his wife died to the best of his abilities and trying to make things fun for his daughter.

Just finished Devilman Crybaby - and I can't say what I think of it. I liked the first half somewhat but the last three episodes were just a mess, IMO. Overall, everything felt rushed --not fast paced but rushed-- the characters felt bland which destroyed the emotional moments... But I liked the artstyle and music. Now watching Stein:Gate 0. I'm looking forward to it, since I like the first anime, but I did hear some criticism for it...

Wow ... I binged through Megalo Box and Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail in more or less a night (plus the evening before) Considering that I have two exams next week, this might not have been a smart decision (Srsly, I just wanted to watch the first two eps of MB after a few days of nothing but studying, and then...)... but I guess you could say I liked both >.< Anyways, Devil Man Crybaby next - but I won't start watching it until next week-end just to be safe...

Well, that counts for almost everything, doesn't it? If you expect nothing, you won't be let down - unless you're dewey... :'D I haven't yet watched a live adaptation of anything Anime or Manga related except the movie Azumi (from an amazing Manga) so I can't say much about the decision to adapt CB, but from what I've heard, Netflix adaption tend to be a let down? (I don't have Netflix to begin with, so....) But I might check out this one - Cowboy Bebop seems to be an anime that could be considerably faithfully. For example what made, Death Note, the anime, pretty good was how they used the fact that it was animated to emphasize certain themes or emotions- soemthing that you really can't do with a live adaption. But as I said, I don't know much about this matte but I'll keep an eye on it.

Just finished Durarara!!x2 Ten - basically watched all three seasons of Durarara!! consecutively and I like them. The first season was my favorite --the series got a bit weaker IMO afte it-- and I wasn't much a fan of the ending but overall, it was a great show! The story-telling had something Baccano!!-esque at first and the cast was diverse and interesting though some lacked depth. Now continuing with Megalo Box - heard lots of great things of it when it aired. And I think it's might first boxer anime,

The last thing I have to do is going to the toilet. I can't got to bed without doing this before. Like, I went to the toilet, and then realized I didn't set my alarms so I set it. Then I had to go to the toilet again even though I just went two minutes before. I don't remember going to sleep without doing this as the very last thing. It's not like I'd wet myself or something like that (I'd never even had a problem with that when I was very little) if I didn't but I simply feel restless and uneasy.... And sometimes, for whatever reason, when I'm listening to music with earphones I whistle. Not whistling to the tune but just one notes - I think I'd otherwise fear that I'd lost my hearing to the outside world and that I'm only capable of listening to music anymore. >_>

Mostly grand-strategy games (the Paradox games, Total War, etc. ...) and RPGs (the older TES games, and CRPGs), sometimes some VNs and building games (I user the Stronghold games to create maps and castles, and sometimes play some Sim City 2000/4), and I used to play a lot of JRPGs but not so much anymore. (well - I haven't played much lately in general.) I sometimes play a few rounds Magic the Gathering, and rarely some chess, with a friend. I've never been a fan of MMOs, nor shooters --I usually play single player games-- and the only online shooters I've played excessively were Verdun and Tannenberg, both games from the WW1 1914-1918 series.

One day - one day when I'm not some poor student (and if I were more inclined to reach deeper into my pockets) I'll buy all the box sets there is in the world But seriously, the Flip Flappers and Made in Abyss box sets look really nice and its probably considerably cheap to a not so stingy person >.>

Almost finished Durarara!!2x Shou and will then proceed with Durarara!!2x Ten - watched Durarara!! long time but never saw the other two season.

Hmm.... can't decide what my favorite game is but there are some in no particular order: Europa Universalis 4 - or most Paradox games like Crusader Kings 2, Victoria 2 and hearts of Iron 3/4 Final Fantasy 6 - my favourite FF game followed by FF VI, FF X and FF IX Morrowind - or TES in general, in the order Morrowind, Oblivion, Daggerfall, Skyrim, Arena Baldur's Gate 2 Kerbal Space Program (Happy to see that someone else also like to play it! Total War Shogun 2 - while it isn't, IMO, the best TW game, by far not and I wouldn't touch it without mods, it's still the one that's the most fun to me, followed by Empire and M2TW

So, does a "collection of x" count? I mean, I could say a collection of books, a collection of (some kind of) tools, a collection of elecronical devises plus solar powered chargers... For the sake of the game, and i think its the point of the game, I'll say I can't choose a "collection of x" or a "set of x" unless it's one object like a toolbox,. 1.) An E-Book-reader reader with thousands of books including books with instructons on how to build basic things like a shelter, fire, sandals, weapons, ect. .. 2.) A solar powered charger for said reader. 3.) A loaded gun just in case I want to die quickly. Initially I wanted to limit my options so I'd have think more about what I'd take with me, especially in terms of entertainment (mainly what book would I take with me since I can't choose a collection of books or an entire library. I'd have chosen the LotR book) but then again, the existence of readers and a solar powered charger makes this easier. So yeah.... the first part was kind unnecessary

Never seen it, but I've heard mixed feelings about this one, some say its really good, some says its okay-ish... anyways, it's on my to watch list! Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
