@Fx_Omar it will have to be next Friday, the 24th if you’re set on doing it Friday. Ohiotaku won’t be free till next week. That time is 4:30 for me in NC. Works for me

You know how when you play a video game and you have enemies who are meant to appear at a certain time to challenge wether or not you were meant to keep playing the game? Or to bring about certain events to bring a party together? This is cool seeing these recent enemies of the gamelike world come together recently to encourage the hero’s to fight together. It’s like, if they hadn’t made so many errors, perhaps the game would have gone differently (as in a game like fable) but since the hero’s (players) screwed up so badly, they created their own enemies that perhaps wouldn’t have come about otherwise. This is so interesting

Those remind me of ninja shoes

Crocs have comfy slip ons. The crocs I have for water shoes are sooo comfy. But they make all kinds of comfy slip ons.

Do IQs really go that high? I’d be doomed. Probably hire some experts Do you like regular water or flavored water?

PS4 Apple or Android?

@brycec you get a free pass But I will say using slip on shoes is how I manage.. it’s way easier to deal with

Marvel why you make me choose? Action fantasy or Action Comedy?

I’m not sure why most people in the US tend to wear shoes in the house. It is very unsanitary. I think maybe laziness? It’s hard to enforce the no shoe rule with visitors in my home because not all will comply. Since it’s not a cultural thing here, it’s harder to make it work for everyone who comes into the house I love the Japanese culture, pretty much every Asian culture that I’ve experienced really. I grew up with Korean friends, and I have a Korean friend who likes to cook right now, getting to spend time with her is always a blessing due to how sweet and courteous she is. She’s always the best host too. I try not to take advantage of her kindness though, she is asked to do a lot because of her kind nature. Anyway.. back to the topic at hand. I love the way Asians slurp their soup and noodles and it’s considered polite! I love food. So I’ll go to town on some noodles and be noisy and enjoy my food. Over here in the US, it’s looked at as sloppy - but if I was Asian people would be like (you want some more?) hahaha. It’s just so different!

@Ohiotaku I didn’t realize Naruto was so offensive for you I’ll fix you up with something more your speed... and drop it by your page later as for our dear new member, Scarecrow-Chan likes Naruto. Thanks @Illusion of Terra You’re awesome

@Illusion of Terra if we are all online together right now at the same time, it should be possible for us to set a mutual time.. it would just be a different number for some of us. I’m sure we could figure it out tho. It would be cool to watch together at same time but even same day is okay if it’s too difficult for us to manage

@Lelouch-San here you go.

Can you travel to the future that hasn’t happened yet in a time machine? Time travel is a confusing concept for me

Ok next week we will set a day and time.

If you can get vanilla pudding mix, bananas, and vanilla cookies it’s sooo easy to make

Hey, Scarecrow

@Illusion of Terra @Ohiotaku @Fx_Omar Lets set a date for watching Summer wars!!

It’s fine, a BBQ calls for banana pudding anyway

Have you tried Ergo Proxy, Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, or Trigun?

Back in 05-09 the seasonal releases were so small, as you said roughly 30 new anime, I wasn’t able to get into many new anime at the time, sometimes waiting years for a new anime that I actually wanted to watch. It seems that now that there are far more per season that I can get into. So I’m thankful for the change. Also wanted to point out that Dub has gotten far better for anime since the 90’s... I am watching Slam Dunk in dub right now and the voice actors are making it seem like half the characters are mentally challenged What could be cool (and I’m sure in Japanese it does sound cool, because I’ve watched anime so long I can tell by the sort of facial expressions the characters are making how they were meant to sound) just gets dubbed so poorly that it makes it REALLY lame. It’s funny to watch still, so I’m just going to keep it on. However, for most current dubs, I’m guessing voice actors are getting more seasoned, because they aren’t bad like this.

I’m very offended rn lol fuzzy socks are all I want for Christmas Well... that and scented candles and warm cozy blankets

I can’t say I prefer one over the other in every instance. For example, The sketchy artwork of the older anime does make for some nice looking characters- I really prefer the drawn style rather than the purely digital style. I prefer a little muddle to my depictions when I myself draw. However, when it comes to portraying action scenes or sports scenes, the difference is really phenomenal in the quality you’d get from more current, digitally rendered images over the old style of a few sketches put together. Take Slam Dunk for instance it originally aired in 1996 and shares a similar art style to Yuu Yuu Hakusho, the characters all look really cool But when you see a basketball scene, the images are very muddled, you can’t get the exact detail of what moves are going on. This is probably due to the fact that older anime used fewer drawings per scene, and of course none of it was strictly digitally drawn. Now compare that to Haikyuu! Which is a modern (2014) sports anime, and benefits of animation technology have been around for a few years by then. The characters are crisp, though they still manage to retain their sketchy charm. The big difference is in the Volleyball matches. Every move is shown in detail, nothing is muddled, you don’t have to guess what’s going on. And it makes the action that much more amazing. I’ve heard it explained that due to our new animation technology (and probably funding) that more detail is able to be given in each episode. This was harder to do in the 90’s, but certain advances have saved time and money and have enabled a much higher quality rendering of animation. You can see the same thing happen with the OG DBZ fight scenes. When you watch a newer martial arts anime and their moves are clearly shown, then go back and watch fighting from DBZ, it’s almost lol worthy - much of it is just muddled kicks and punches and guesswork as to what actually happened. Compare that to the awesome fighting in HSD Kenichi or Hajime no Ippo, and you’d see how much of a difference there is. All in all, they both have their differences and charm. But as we move forward, I can say I enjoy the detail that I can get out of newer anime.

Oh awesome! You like shounen anime That’s my faves. I’d love it if you could join us in the weekly discussion of currently airing anime - Rising of the Shield Hero, and Demon Slayer! My faves are: Trigun, Samurai x: Trust & Betrayal, Haikyuu, Claymore, My Hero Academia and Accel World.

Just started Slam Dunk. Reminds me a lot of Yuu Yuu Hakusho same art style omg Watching the dub is so lame tho.. the voice actors are hilarious
