If I suddenly don't log in for like a year, please pour me a glass.

Please, don’t even joke about something like that  I know you worry about sounding like you’re complaining, so things must be really bad to open up about it. I’m glad to hear your family is looking after & supporting you in the midst of all this. I wish I had something inspirational or deep to say, but it seems like I always come up short when it counts. That bad jokes & rambles are all I have a talent for. Keeping you in thought & prayers though.

In the hope that something lighter may take your mind off things:

It's nice to be in the old home again and my younger sis is sticking around. I miss my babies though (I've got five dogs ). They're staying with my brother, he's probably secretly upset about that. No sane person has five dogs, I know. 

For a brief period of time my family did (more dogs than people  )3 or 4 at a time was the norm though. All shelter dogs or strays. Which makes not having any at all since early this year feel strange. First time since I was 3 years old.

It helps not to peel your skin off when the Echo pads come off. Would of loved to have known that after the EKG. 

I should definitely stock some of those. At the risk of TMI, I’ m rather hirsute with the exception of the top of my head. Which makes removing any sort of bandage something that requires gritting my teeth. Embarrassing to admit but I actually missed removing an Echo pad on my back where I couldn’t reach/see once & didn’t realize till it came off in the shower a couple days later 

Please get some rest & whatever help you need. And check in when you can

@ZilaI hadn’t watched it yet, but will check it out.

Do you have any anime you really liked?

My overall favorite would be Cowboy Bebop. I also have a lot of nostalgia for Space Battleship Yamato aka Star Blazers because that’s where it all started for me. Robotech too, even though it’s a bastardization of 3 unrelated series. As far as series that are just flat out epic I would recommend Vinland Saga & Fate Zero.

romance

Highly recommend the 2019 remake of Fruits Basket.

comedy

Humor can be highly subjective but some of my favorites are Azumanga Daioh, School Rumble, Asobi Asobase & Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun.

I don’t hate on SAO, but I don’t consider it anything special either. I watched all the versions through GunGale Online Alternative, but dropped fairly early into Alicization because it just felt too pretentious. Might give it another chance someday, but not a priority. 

Just checked your MAL & saw Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater listed  I enjoyed that one too. On a related note you might like Yuru (Laidback) Camp. Afterschool Dice Club & Mieruko-chan. And since you liked Konosuba I recommend Louie The Rune Soldier & The Hero is OP but Overly Cautious (Cautious Hero)

Cute blush. Happy to return the favor.

This anime comes up a lot in conversation as a must see. Need to watch but there's different versions or something. I might need to put in research on that

It’s definitely iconic, but not a personal fave. I would recommend the tv series first as the rebuild movies are even more confusing with no prior exposure, even though they’re supposed to be a stand alone alternate version. Personally I think Mari is really the only thing the rebuild movies have going for them

end of detour  

Welcome to the forums  

I’ve been watching anime in some form or another for around 40 years, but have no indication of ever “outgrowing” it   I’m pretty varied in the type of anime I watch, but favorite genres tend to be fantasy or supernatural. More details on my profile here or MAL account.

only problem with my friend is that the only show he will only watch or read is naruto.

Yeah, not a fan myself  Truth be told, I have a hard time staying invested in mega-series that go on continuously. Around 26 eps & then a break is probably my ideal. Even the ones I follow across multiple seasons tend to lose their spark after awhile. But that’s just my personal take.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it here

bring it in, bro

Don't know where the character is from but yes, she looks nice and chill

Pretty sure it’s Rei from Evangelion.

It depends really. I can’t say I dislike the genre as a whole due to the fact that Cardcaptor Sakura is on my alltime top 20. I also enjoyed Princess Tutu & Petite Princess Yucie quite a bit. Expand the definition a bit more & there are even more titles I like (Magic Knight Rayearth, Kobato, Little Witch Academia, Madoka, etc). As to PreCure, I don’t really get the hype. The versions I tried to watch never made it past the 3 ep point with the exception of Tropical Rouge (currently on my hold list). Even in that case, it’s impossible not to be aware that I am NOT the target audience  Very cartoonish, but I still get a certain enjoyment from it. Same as with the Hanna Barbera cartoons I grew up (derivative & corny as hell, but I have so many lines of dialogue committed to memory   )Laura’s probably my favorite character, reminds me Konosuba’s Aqua, but somehow not annoying  

I think the genre for me that matches your level of dislike is the idol or I-want-to-be-a-celebrity ones. But even there, there are exceptions (Zombie Land Saga, Carole & Tuesday, Kageki Shojo)

Just curious if anyone’s tried to watch the Netflix series & what their thoughts are

Pretty much my favorite VG track. Especially if you know about the character's tragic story.  Gets me every time.

 

Not familiar with the game, but yeah really powerful

Hana & Miko from Mieruko -chan

A recent addition

Takt & Cosette from Takt op.Destiny (they’re playing a duet on the piano if you can’t tell from the image)

I’m assuming you mean Death March to a Parallel World.  So, Isekai, OP MC & Harem elements. I’d recommend  The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar and  How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord. As a caveat, I didn’t make it very far into any of these series, because not really my style.

Eternals 

have to agree with the general consensus that it wasn’t as enjoyable as a typical Marvel movie. I think it tried to be too ambitious for it’s own good, plus the flashbacks felt awkwardly placed & the big reveals happened too early making the movie seem overly long. Also too many heroes to really develop, many of whom felt derivative of “that other company’s”characters. They even made jokes about Ikaris being Superman for all intents & purposes (also Thena = Wonderwoman & Makkari = Flash). I don’t know about it being the worst Marvel movie, but certainly subpar & it’s higher aspirations just made the shortcomings more noticeable.
