Puraore! Pride of Orange seems like an interesting show. It's not something I usually watch (I don't really watch sports anime), but one of my friends is really into hockey. The character designs remind me a lot about Love Live!, which seems cute! I don't have any strong opinions about it yet as my knowledge about hockey is close to zero. However, I am watching the second season of Yashahime, which is great, and watched one episode from Blue Period and Mieruko-chan! I like those three shows a lot, and I'm going to watch Takt Op.Destiny on top of the current anime season. But... regarding older anime, I just finished R.O.D. OVA! I've watched the TV series twice, but never got around to watching the OVA until recently. It's really good and it makes me want to start picking up the light novel.

I remember watching those two! Both are such GOOD shows.

Otherside Picnic and Yashahime at the moment.

The whole soundtrack of Adachi to Shimamura is cute and relaxing. I haven’t watched the anime yet, but the OST is amazing!

For mobile games, I’m deeply rooted into Arknights, Fate/Grand Order, and Granblue Fantasy... while casually playing Project Sekai, Azur Lane, and Fire Emblem: Heroes on the side. And as of right now, I occasionally jump back to Azur Lane Crosswave, Tetris, and DJ Max, but religiously play Final Fantasy XIV over the weekends, lmao. (If anyone plays XIV on the Aether data server, please let me know! Would love to game with you!)

I’m mentally screaming over the fact that I understood exactly what you mean, lol!! Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone! I’ll be sure to make myself comfortable here.

Hello! I'm Crystal. To be frank, it's been way too long since I last stepped foot into any forum... and the ones that I was once active in either moved to Reddit (which I still can't seem to fully grasp how to operate it) or completely deactivated, haha. So, it's nice to see an anime forum floating around that I can freely talk about my interest without much worry compared to my other social media! A bit about how I got into anime: I've gotten into anime sometime... whenever 2006 happened, I think? I forgot what year it was, but I just know it was around the time when I was in middle school that I unknowingly got into anime (if I'm excluding the entire Pokemon, Digimon, Yugioh shows). Watched whatever that aired on TV. Funimation and Toonami started introducing anime that, in a couple of years, got me realizing that they were from Japan, lmao. Down the rabbit hole I went... watching a ton of those 2000s/2010s anime. Though since I've finished school and started working, it's taking me some time to crawl back to my large backlogs and watch a few seasonal anime when I have the chance. Some of my all time favorites are Kara no Kyoukai, Ergo Proxy, and Shinsekai Yori. Recent ones I'm watching at the moment is Otherside Picnic and Yashahime. Hope to make some friends with you all, make great memories, and talk about a ton of anime and manga ! Thank you for having me! You can also find me on Twitter at @animeminafans if you ever want to talk outside of the forum too!
