@RZ. a bit off topic but I really liked your idea about the eight swords. just wanted to say that somewhere  

anyhow, definitely let us knew when you've caught up with Black Clover

Thank you! I'm actually planning on following through with that idea. I've done a lot of the worldbuilding already and might write a short story/prologue to introduce the main character at some point before I start writing a full book.

I'm sure I'll be caught up soon, I'm getting through episodes pretty fast (for me, at least).

Controlling the elements would be cool. Especially air & water because I'd have an advanced spell that would allow me to manipulate those elements within my enemies. So for example, I could cause them to dehydrate or suffocate. 

That's similar in nature to one of the weapons from my story which allows for Electromagnetic manipulation. Its users can basically shoot ionising radiation or induce particle decay in their enemies

@RZ. I read this as 'my thy cally' and was wondering what it means, when I realized it is mythical-ly  

I've never noticed you could read it like that before lol. My auto correct always corrects it to "my thy call you"

What would your magic be if you were a character in Black Clover?

I like the OP magic types so probably something like light magic or spatial if it were to do with actually controlling space-time rather than just opening portals. What about you?

Is there any particular aspect of the show that you're not crazy about?

Very nice! Who are your favorite characters? What are you enjoying most about the show so far?

I really like the different types of magic and the fight scenes tend to be awesome too. Need nothing be said about the intros

I have too many favorite characters lol but I think if I had to choose 4 it'd be Noelle, Vanessa, Luck and Zora (at the moment anyway) 

I also feel like I'm the only person in the world whose main ship is Vanessa and Finral (and yep, I know they end up interested in other people ).

Haha! It's absolutely unfortunate about the 2016 series.  I tried to be a die-hard fan because I love the Berserk franchise but you're right. Even if they were going to skip a portion of the storyline, at least don't make it worse with that animation. I still need to finish the series but I forgot where I left off...  Kentaro Miura does not deserve this, that's for sure. 

The worst thing is that the intros are animated really nicely and then they do THAT

@Amali The S;G has really great music but also atmosphere as well. For me I think 'Blue' from Cowboy Bebop and 'Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude' from NGE are my big emotional ones. 

I'm now on Episode 87 and it's all I want to watch lol. I'll have to avoid this thread a little while longer until I'm caught up

I can send you a link for the book it's not published yet though.

Please do!

Oh really what's the book about? I finished my first one and I am doing a second one.

My idea at the moment is a sci-fantasy about eight swords that each possess a certain ability that allows it to manipulate some natural phenomena (i.e. phase transitions (solids, liquids, gases, plasma), space-time, causality, etc). Each of them are spread out across different empires and kingdoms who are competing to control them. 

I'm still figuring everything out at the moment. Early stages, as I say.

What are your books about and is there somehow I can check the out?

Welcome to the forum! I'm a fan of Fate as well and I'm trying to write a book too (very early stages)

Any Star Trek fans on here? If so then what's your favorite show, characters, episodes. It's probably the thing I've been a fan of the longest since my mum bought me all the series on DVD when I was a kid.

Here's another hardcore one I forgot about!

Rinkimirikakuta. Bit of a mouth full lol

My mums would be Kutakizikazukuchiri, which is even worse!

@RuthisianCodex I aim to please  

@IIVIsouljam The music from the new Berserk was probably the only positives from that series. Imagine how good it would be if it weren't animated in a tin can

Hello and welcome! I am also a cat person. We currently have two cats but we did have six at one point

As there's been a few openings posted, I thought I'd post some too. These are for if you're partial to hardcore rock/metal

Shingeki no Bahamut

Darker than Black (OP1)

Chaos Dragon

@Seshi The Psycho-Pass OP is so unique visually, definitely one of my favorites. I can't remember the name of the person who came up with it but she's (I think it's a she) done a couple of other intros for different shows that were just as unique. I also love how much Sesshomaru is in that ending

You, Sir, are welcome in my kitchen anytime! I like your pasta dish, it is very simple. 

I've recently been using tarragon quite a bit. I like tilapia but I've also had a craving for rainbow trout or some blackened catfish. 

Way to go, RZ. Now I'm drooling over here, lol. 

Taragon and Parsley are my go-to fish seasoners. For salmon I usually season with salt, garlic, black pepper and either of the afformentioned. I experimented a bit by adding Dill and Majoram but they're pretty weak seasoners tbh. For some reason I always think of trout as a dull, boney salmon, though that could just be the ones my grandma bought and she never seasoned them lol. As for catfish - it looks amazing, unfortunately my local supermarket don't sell it so I'll have to find a fish monger when the quarantine is finished.

Oh, and we musn't forget Mackrel in tomato sauce

@RuthisianCodex Ah, thanks! I was listening through the embed

I made a yummy pasta dish earlier that is the most simple one I've ever made & the cheapest too. I used some Skinner Super Greens spaghetti(about $2 a box & has enough to last me several meals), prepared it al dente, drained most of the liquid & then added some lemon juice, minced garlic, a little bit of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray, &  a few dashes of Tabasco, then let it cook on low for about 5 minutes. It went perfectly with the chicken piccata I made.

If you want to go even simpler, one of my favorite lunches to have at the moment is pasta, seasoned with taragon and salt, and if it's too dry you can add some olive oil. Sounds almost too simple but I love it

I consider my general diet to be pretty much a budget one. I'm pescatarian and there's nothing better to me than some vegetables, mashed potatoes and a piece of fish (usually salmon or sea bass, but I love haddock or cod too!).

Haven't listened to all of it but I especially like 19:41-23:16. What show is that from?

Almost forgot about the awesome Wolfs Rain OST as well (yet more melancholy):

Once upon a time I used to enjoy songwriting and dabbled in music for a while (mainly hip hop). I'm told I was pretty good too but life takes you by the scruff of the neck and you end up doing other things. I had a year in secondary school where I was obsessed with theoretical physics and spent tons of time reading up on all sorts of stuff, even wanting to become an astrophysict when I was older. Then I went to college and realised I'm actually terrible at Maths lol.  I think these days I enjoy writing, or more specifically world building. I do A LOT of world building in my head, not so much gets put to paper lol. The main difference with writing is I'm actually decent at it, I'm just lazy.

Steins;Gate  i've rewatched it like seven times, and any time someone wants to see anime that isn't unbearably tropey and has a SICK PLOT, i always show them this  then i get rewatch it with the added benefit of enjoying the twists with someone who has never seen it before!

I recently finished watching Steins;Gate with my university flat mate who'd never seen anime before in his life. He really enjoyed it, mainly because of the sinister vibe you get in the background of the first half of the series. His reaction to Episode 12 was also predictably priceless

This is one of those shows that I keep seeing every time I go on Netflix and think "damn, that actually looks really good", before remembering I have a bazillion other things I need to watch and moving off it

Would I be right in assuming this is sort of a dystopian fiction show? That was the vibe I got from the adverts and I might move it up the list if that's the case.
