I definitely would. Berserk is amazing. THE MANGA. Now THAT is the freaky one. There's one scene with a woman and a horse that... let's just say it goes south. Literally.

Ugh one of the many "freaky" scenes in the manga. Remember the fairy children?

But the story seems to become lighter. Like it's getting more optimistic.

And when will it continue? Is it still on hiatus?

Whoever thought of the name "Anime Forums" is a genius. Because that's what people will usually search for. 

Is this site related somehow to Anime Forums.com? Or no relation at all?

Oh I know in particular with antique furniture and housewares. They are a type of technology or at least fall under what technology technically is meaning a tool to help us do what we cannot alone without it.

Though one peice of antique  tech in the more tridtional sense that I want to add to my collection is this.

What is that? And what does it do? 

It reminds me a bit of Wall-E.

Hey guys! I am 29. I have a loving wife and two kids. I love anime. I grew up watching DBZ in the 90s and then started watching subbed anime in the early 2000s like Naruto and Bleach before that had hit America. Now, I am madly in with My Hero Academia.
 

Hello and welcome Dougger16!!

I'm a fan of My Hero Academia too. I haven't watched season 3 yet. Is it any good? What do you think about it?

I wish I could give you constructive criticism, but I'm not really qualified to do so. (I'm not smart enough to comprehend poetry haha ) 

I do admire poets as it seems to be writing on a much higher level. 

Please continue sharing your works.

Cool, i'll have to try this sometime

Thank you. Let us know what you come up with.

And feel free to share your tips too for how you brainstorm ideas.

Many would say Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

As the relationship between Edward and Alphonse is similar to Gon and Killua's.

And heck yeah I loved Hunter x Hunter too. The Chimera Ant arc is one of the best arcs in anime.

Hello! Nice to meet you.

I'm glad you came back. I think you'll always be welcome here.

One good way to overcome being shy is to actually engage in online communities like forums. 

If you can talk to people online, you can definitely talk to people offline. At least that's what I've noticed.

@ArchieKun Yes I'm old school I guess you can say, heh. I journal a lot so I'm always writing in notebooks. 

 

Oh wow. That's really amazing. Writing with a pen is almost like a lost art now.

If I write with a pen for 3 minutes my hand starts to hurt. I've been so used to typing now instead of writing.

My penmanship also degraded. My handwriting isn't legible anymore. haha

Ahhh yes... A guy once mentioned Pupa on a random conversation, I thought he was just pranking us when he said it would make us nauseous.

 

Howver I thought the plot was really confusing to be honest, it kind of seemed like it was graphic and violent just to compensate for the lack of substance that the writer put into it.

 

Just my opinion though... There's people that might genuinely enjoy and like it.

Yeah they said the manga was MUCH better. But just the premise in itself is just so bizarre.....

No problem. I am most happy to help.  I personally have never actually used Manga Studio hands on. 

Have you tried Paint Tool Sai? I've seen a lot of artists use it and I was wondering what it can do that others can't.

This game looks really really good, and in my opinion is something we really need. Sadly I do not have a PS4 either. Though it is in my plans to get one even though it is in its twilight phase. Its still a great one to collect.

I'm actually thinking of buying a PS3.... haha I see a lot of people selling it pre-owned on Facebook. And I was thinking, hey it's really cheap now. 

But I'm usually on my PC anyways. Don't have the time to play console games in front of the TV

Hey it's not easy to design a website. Even if it's just a mockup. So be proud of yourself.

Even after years of web development I still get stumped when asked to design a website. 

It would have to be Pupa for me.

And no I didn't watch it. I don't think anyone should. It's a terrible show and very creepy.

I heard about it through a podcast, went to You Tube to check out the infamous scene, and got shivers up my spine.

SPOILERS BELOW:

Have any of you heard about Tabata exercise? It was invented by a Japanese individual. And it's ideal for people with no time to go to the gym.

It's a type of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). You basically just exercise 4 minutes but everyday. You go hard for 1 minute then 1 minute of light exercise. Then 1 minute of  hard exercise then finish with 1 minute of light exercise. That is equal to a 90 minute cardio workout.

I've been doing it for 2 months now and I've actually exercised way more than I used to. 

The problem with 30 minute 3 times a week routines is that you tend to get lazy or too tired to keep doing it.

But 4 minutes a day is like nothing. You won't feel lazy thinking about it and it will be over before you know it.

If you do end up going that route I suggest Manga Studio for if it becomes a manga, or Adobe Animate if it is turned into a animation. 

Great suggestions. They will definitely help. I will check them out.

to be honest, im scared of using my real name too, i had a wierd trauma of sorts, (not trauma, but ima use that term) where if people knew what my real name was, they would know everything about me, this included posting my pics online, i felt more secure being an "anon"

 

though, now a day, i dont really care if everyone knows my real name, or if everyone knows what i look like, i already posted my picture in this forums while on duty, and i didn't care at all

i guess, its somewhat same for saito-kyun, (and also, to be fair, i also use an alias online, i go by the name "ryu" online, or X-kun, usually ryu on my besto friendo tho')

I understand. I did the same when I was younger. Using aliases and a picture of a character from somewhere.

I guess it's for online safety too. To protect against identity theft and so on.

But now that I'm older, I'm now boring. So no more creativity to come up with clever names. haha

Probably not for me... but I can see where others might enjoy it.

Yeah it's definitely a niche.

It certainly sounds interesting. I'd cheek it out if you end up posting it up on the forums. I don't think that sort of sttory is something I'd look for on my own though. Best of luck with writing if you do go for it.

Thank you. I definitely will be updating here on the forums. As I plan to turn it into a manga or an animated series. (like 2-3 minute episodes)

Ah yes, I want to play this game, unfortunately, I don't have a ps so I'll be on PC...

Same here. No PS4. At least it has a PC version.

For awhile there I thought you were my boss.  haha

I work from home. I telecommute. My employer is from the US and his name is Jeremy. He's also in his 40's.

But welcome! Everyone here is nice and respectful. Hope you make a lot of friends.

I don't wanna use my real name

What's wrong with using your real name?? haha 

But welcome! I loved Bleach by the way. I think there was a previous topic on confusion with the Bleach ending. You might want to check that out.

And see you around

So I've had this idea in my head for weeks now. And it won't go away. That's usually a sign for me to proceed with it.

But I would like to hear what other people think.

I want to make a story about a guy who decides to quit his job, quit being an employee, and start a company. Become an entrepreneur. 

It's similar to Bakuman and Shirobako. But the focus is on launching a tech start-up.

You could say an anime version of the TV show Silicon Valley:



But unlike Silicon Valley I want to give it progression.  The guy will either achieve his dreams or not. (For those who don't watch that TV show, every season the main character doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. )

It would be slice of life, a touch of comedy, and will have romance in it.

So what do you think? How does it sound to you?

And will you watch it even though you're not interested in entrepreneurship or tech startups? 

I think it's shocking once it starts. The physical changes.

Lately I've been getting more white hairs. At least no balding yet. (I hope haha).  No decline yet in strength or speed and so on. But I've never felt strong or fast anyways so I can't tell.

You go through like a stage of denial first. You dye your hair black for example, you use anti age creams (maybe for women only). 

Basically you try to convince yourself that you're still young. Then it sets in and you just adapt to it. You work with what you've got. 

And on the bright side, you trade in youth for wisdom. You were young and dumb now you're old and wise.

I guess just age gracefully by adapting.

Yeah you basically have to choose: warm hands? or functional hands? haha

Like when it gets cold here but I have to type on a keyboard. It's possible but hard.
