  1. Loving your new avi 🤩

    1. Seshi

      Thank you :)

      Well I started re-watching Demon Slayer today.. cuz damn, I love that show. But going to do it again after dub is out, lol so maybe too soon.

      When I saw Makomo, I couldn't resist.

    2. Mazino

      Nice avi @Seshi

      I wish Sabito and Makomo would have gotten a longer screen time. Guess we will see them in one flashback or the other.

      We sort of match now  @Muco 😊

  2. Temps got up to 76F today. So of course I had to mow for the first time this season.

      I hate mowing the grass , especially when its really really hot

    2. Ohayotaku

      Problem for me isn’t so much heat, but allergies 🤧

      I hate bees, theyre everywhere outside

  3. Numerous titles have just vanished from Crunchyroll. The one that got my attention was Witch From Mercury that I just watched last night. Checking out their forums, it seems to be a widespread problem

    Ever since the Funi merger, the site just keeps getting buggier 🤬 Hopefully they’ll fix the current issue soon. And they better have their sh** together this weekend when new eps of MHA & SxF are scheduled or they’ll have a lot of seriously PO’d customers.

     

    1. Ohayotaku

      The issue appears to be resolved now, though no explanation given on what happened.

      When I first signed up at CR, the Funi merger had been underway for maybe a couple months before that point. I felt like there were a lot of titles they should have already had up there from Funi. I don't know how long it takes to transfer video and data from one location to another, but you'd think as big an operation they have it wouldn't take quite that long. Again, I'm not familiar with what goes on or what's involved in such an operation server-side, so maybe it does. I dunno. 🤷‍♂️

      I’ve had both CR & Funi for a couple years (my Funi was an annual subscription & I don’t plan on renewing). Both sites have had their share of problems, but Funi’s was definitely worse. Unfortunately, since the merger CR seems to have caught some of it’s bugs. Delays don’t really bother me ( if it came down to it my backlog would easily last a year 😂) But issues like titles disappearing within days of release or missing subtitles or pixelated video get on my nerves. Still feel like I get my moneys worth, but frustrating when supposed “progress” or “improvements” seem to make things worse.

  4. Looking at your banner, thinking you might be checking out Bofuri?

    1. Anime loveer

      Anime loveer

      Yea , finished it tho . I Like it

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Glad to hear. Not sure it actually needs another season though.

      Hard to believe but Angel Maple is even more adorable than normal Maple

      Shes kinda crazy tho . But thats what i like about her

  5. Crunchyroll is shutting down it’s forum boards at the end of the month https://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-1076682/forum-legacy-features-going-away-on-november-1st-2022

    I rarely participated there except for the seasonal & annual awards threads, but will miss it. Increasingly forums seem to be a dying breed with people more interested in Discord & Twitch, and other social media options.

    Please note, this will not impact it’s streaming service, though they apparently will launch an updated site. Hopefully they’ll get some of the recent bugs resolved.

      Sucks to see them remove the forum feature! 
      I hop around forums a lot, and enjoy them...kinda sucks to see them die off...
      Mostly Crunchyroll's :( 

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Looks like the current plan to keep the more popular threads going is for some of the regulars to create a club on MAL.

      The big tech companies are also known to be unscrupulous with their unethical handling of user data. Most people are unfortunately not able to make the connection of how this effects them and they casually dismiss it by telling themselves that they have nothing dodgy to hide. Nobody ever went broke by underestimating the intellect of the public. User privacy and freedom of expression in the digital age is the most underrated issue of our time. Forgive me for going full Dale Gribble, I had to say that.

  6. Yesterday was Fat Tuesday, so guess that makes today Ash Wednesday :Pimage.png.b003d09e93af0c09b4646dec6d61c722.png

      😂Man, I've never thought of that, but it's so fitting

      I also like your new avatar! :) 

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Thanks. My old one was a shout out to my first anime series lo these many years ago. While I’m not particularly a fan of DBZ, me and King Kai share a similar sense of humor (such as it is :p)

  7. Apparently tornadoes did some pretty serious damage North of me last night. Had no idea till I turned on the news this morning. Fortunately doesn’t sound luke many injuries

    1. Shiroe

      Shiroe

      Hope you're doing okay, friend ☹️

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Like I said, I wasn’t even aware of it. I’ve been lucky that those sort of things are generally north of where I live. Feel for the people caught up in it though. So far only 1 fatality but say it will take days to fully evaluate the damage.

    3. Illusion of Terra

      Illusion of Terra

      Are there more people here from Ohio or Kansas? HanaApril was from Kansas I think but she's not active here anymore unfortunately. I also remember that there was someone else from Ohio wasn't there? Glad to see that it wasn't in your area though

       

  8. I was kinda confused by the ending scene of Deca Dence’s first ep. Just watched the second & completely changes your expectations for what it will be about. Don’t know how much potential it will actually fulfill, but could really be something special.

    1. giolaxone

      giolaxone

      Deca dence tells about what ? 

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      @giolaxone Basic set up is 90% of the human population is wiped out & the earth is now a wasteland filled with all sorts of mutated monsters. Survivors live in a giant mobile fortress. The MC is an orphan who wanted to join military because her dad was killed by monsters, but was rejected because she lost an arm in the attack.

      But then the 2nd ep shows an entirely unexpected side to the story (in a down the rabbit hole sense). Still a lot of questions about what’s actually going on & unknown how well it will be able to tie it all altogether. But definitely got a lot of peoples attention. And it’s the same director as Mob Psycho & production company as Yojo Senki (Tanya the Evil) so definitely has potential to be really special.

    3. giolaxone

      giolaxone

      Allright, i will watching it too :v

  9. Had trouble going to bed at a decent hour last night and then had to wake up when it was still pitch dark outside. Thanks, time change 😩

    1. Illusion of Terra

      Illusion of Terra

      Wait what time change? Is this a US thing or for everyone?

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      US Daylight Savings Time. Set clocks ahead an hour ahead in the spring, then back again in the fall. Just a nuisance IMO, since the hours of daylight are already changing naturally with the seasons

    3. Illusion of Terra

      Illusion of Terra

      Yeah we have that too in Europe. Just saw that it is going to be at the end of the month. I almost fell off my chair because I thought it already happened 😂

  10. Trying to ID your avi. Is she from Strawberry Panic?

    1. EnviousEnvy

      EnviousEnvy

      @Ohayotaku Yes she is! Shizuma Hanazono. One of the main characters in the series. 

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Been a long time since I saw that one :P 

    3. EnviousEnvy

      EnviousEnvy

      @Ohayotaku Right. Last time I watched it I believe I was still in school. I remember binge watching the entire series with my best friend; sitting on my bed. Would have to take a couple bathroom breaks and get snacks but otherwise my entire weekend was spent watching that series, lol. I miss those times honestly. 

  11. Welcome back 😁

    Noticed Fruits Basket on your favorite list & wondered if you’d watched the remake yet. Hands down the must emotionally powerful series I’ve seen.

    edit: meant to post this as a comment on your intro topic, but looks like I posted as a status instead. Sorry 😓

    1. Persona

      Persona

      Thank you! 

       

      Furuba will forever be a favorite of mine and I am delighted the series had a remake!

      The Fruits Basket team outdid themselves. You can tell they studied the original and applied the improvements the show needed. 
      I enjoyed being able to connect with every character and feel for them. I cried like the flower I am and enjoyed the final Fruits Basket journey. I will always hope they make a movie with the characters 5 years or something later. Idk. 

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      I’m more of a shrub than a flower, but I admit to being moved to tears numerous times over it’s three year run (and I’m not personally a fan of most HS melodramas, but this one really knew how to connect with the characters). 
      They are going to adapt Tohru’s parents backstory but not sure if it will be a full season, a movie or an OVA. So a follow up is still possible 

    3. Persona

      Persona

      I'm glad to meet a fellow Fruits Basket fan! 

      I did not know about the adaptation chatter! Something I'll look up and I hope that does happen!

  12. Woke up to about a foot of snow that fell overnight. Think it’s the most we’ve had in at least 6 years. Fortunately it’s not that cold (mid-20s)

    1. efaardvark

      efaardvark

      As a native Californian, I would dispute your characterization of mid 20s as “not that cold”.  🥶

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Right now they’re predicting single digits & sub zero temps for the weekend. Damm Polar Vortex.

    3. efaardvark

      efaardvark

      My brother in Wisconsin is looking at a similar weather forecast right now.  Too fkin cold for me!

  13. Better start getting acquainted with Isekai Quartet and it’s related series as it’s apparently been confirmed on the japanese Twitter page

      Oooohhhhhhh 

    2. Xyro

      Isekai quartet is just good tbh. Worth a watch regardless 😜

      Image result for isekai quartet funny

    3. Seshi

      Seshi

      But now that I’ve seen one of the shows it’s about, it will be 10 times funnier 

  14. The thaw begins

    1. LonelyPoet

      LonelyPoet

      The snow stopped? :)

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      The snow stopped a couple days ago, but temps hadn’t gotten above the 20’s & single digits at night. Supposed to stay above freezing all week, even getting close to 50 a couple days. Good news: the snow will melt. Bad news: will probably cause some flooding.

    3. LonelyPoet

      LonelyPoet

      Damn man that sucks stay safe out there. Hope you're power/ heat stays on.  

  15. Saga of Tanya the Evil episode 8. In many ways felt like the culmination of the series primary theme: The capability of humans to rationalize “inhuman” behavior.

    1. Loli

      Loli

      You've stayed that long?

      I commend you for it.

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Should be able to finish it today before moving onto the movie. Honestly I don’t find Tanya’s behavior nearly as disturbing as Ainz in Overlord

      torturing people to death just to resurrect them & do it again and then use what’s left to create undead soldiers. There’s the possibility that they may just be characters in the game, but as much time as the series spends on developing them, still makes me cringe every time it happens

    3. Loli

      Loli

      I loved the manga much more than I'd like to admit. Good times.

  16. Thanks for the follow 😁

    1. Seshi

      Seshi

      It’s about time I added you 🤣

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      I actually haven’t “followed” anyone yet. I don’t react to posts as often as I probably should either. Blame it on the fact I’m not normally a social media person. No Facebook, Twitter or Reddit account, just a couple other otaku interest forums, that I rarely post on. This place is clearly my “online home”. I’ll try to do better. 

    3. Seshi

      Seshi

      Nice, It’s mine too. I don’t really do FB or anything else. 

  17. Liking the new avi

      It's dope ain't it?

    2. efaardvark

      efaardvark

      It looks good at smaller sizes.  Above icon scale it gets a little blurry.  I like Taurus though.  Maybe I'll try to sharpen it a bit if I get a chance.

      Or I could go back to the other Taurus I have:

      sa-taurus2.jpeg.05b9cf26b7b20e46a7dfd3a8950f129f.jpeg

      I think I had that one before Hachirota.  Also in the running are iconified versions of these..

      No idea where I got them though.  I just like the looks.  :)

       

  18. I get the distinct impression that isekai series aren’t even trying to be taken seriously anymore

    d8d.gif

    1. efaardvark

      efaardvark

      Wait, they were being taken seriously??   :D 

    2. Mazino

      Mazino

      What is the red haired girl doing? Is that a dab or what 😂

      Well seriously tho, the genre itself was never really serious. Only a little bit serious one atop all of these Isekai anime that came out lately is The Shield Hero. (although with 3 female party members...it's not really trying to distinguish itself from the usual isekai anime with these harem elements)

  19. Temps got into the mid 50s today, so did what will probably be the last of the end of season yard work. Perfect timing as it started raining just as I was wrapping up. Now just hope we don’t get a lot of ice & snow this winter.

    1. Ohayotaku

      ^ This, every morning 🤣 
      Weighted blankets are a blessing  & a curse :P 

  20. 🎊 Congrats on top score for my MCU quiz. It would take a perfect score now to take that spot.

    1. SAO LILDOOP

      Haha, thanks! Good quiz btw. :D 

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Was afraid I made it a bit too hard for most. I feel a little better now 😁

  21. So no season 2, that’s a relief https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-12-09/netflix-cancels-live-action-cowboy-bebop-show/.180460

    Hopefully they’ll rethink their other live action adaptions 🙏 

    1. Wodahs

      Wodahs

      i didnt even give it a chance

      hadnt taken it up as i heard they dropped the character Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivruski IV in this so wasnt cowboy bebop to me

      mind you ive so far not found a good live action adaption from an anime to my liking unfortunately and to me cowboy bebops like a cult one

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Ed actually did make an appearance right at the end & it was so bad I honestly wish they’d left her out altogether. Over the course of it’s run, it managed to **** on everything I loved about the original. Thing of it is, if they’re going to insist on making live action versions of anime (which I personally don’t see the point in) Cowboy Bebop should have been one of the easier series to adapt. No way in hell they’re going to pull off One Piece’s devil fruit powers without a massive CG animation budget. And if they leave them out, it won’t be One Piece. Just a terrible idea.

  22. Up on Netflix this morning

     

    1. efaardvark

      I wonder if Nishikata will have any better luck this time?  :D

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      @efaardvark Through episode 4 he’s still his own worst enemy :P Though I can sympathize with his experience with coffee (figured out a long time ago it wasn’t for me).

  23. https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2021/12/09/the-ancient-magus-bride-the-boy-from-the-west-and-the-knight-of-the-blue-storm-oad-launches-today-on-crunchyroll
     

    Definitely plan on checking this out this evening (assuming the power doesn’t get knocked out by the predicted storms)

    1. efaardvark

      efaardvark

      @Ohayotaku Definitely.

       

      As as aside, Crunchy really, really, REALLY needs to work on their site.  According to Crunchy's bizarre presentation this is going to be "season 16".  WTF???

    2. Wodahs

      Wodahs

      i started this last night but after a few min went to bed as i was wiped from the day so ill finish it some time today

       

  24. Just curious, who’s the character you’re using as an avatar/profile picture?

    1. kamomesan

      kamomesan

      Aha, that would be Pandemonica from the game Helltaker

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      glasses girl + demon girl + office girl = 😍

  25. Didn’t get to watch anime over the weekend, because I was on a roadtrip, so I still need to catch up on spring season anime. Fortunately the new seasons always start out slow.

    1. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      It was, but after a couple days away, I’m glad to get back home.

      Finished up AoT, Bokuben & got current on Demon Slayer last night. Still need to finish OPM, Sarazanmai & Cinderella Nine.
