Hmm, well the very first anime I watched was Hayo Mayazaki's Spirited Away and that was in what, 2013, 2014? And it was the only thing I watched that year at all. If you count Daft Punk's Interstella 5555 as an anime then I watched that maybe very late that same year? I watched a hell of a lot of Studio Ghibli in 2015 and found that my favourite from that year was Arrietty because wow I have seen that sooo many times now. Kiki's Delivery Service is awesome too. First TV anime was Fairy Tail in January 2016 and it took me until April that year to watch 40 episodes and finally drop it. First anime I finished was Steins;Gate too. And it makes me feel sick thinking about it, but every anime I just mentioned, I watched them... in English dub :'( TL;DR - Arrietty, Fairy Tail, and Steins;Gate.

Alice to Zouroku is probably my second favourite currently-airing anime right now. I figured it needed a thread because pretty much as soon as I joined here on Monday I was ready to discuss but there were no discussions Anyway~ Plot Summary, taken from manga: "A group of young girls possess a mysterious power known as "Alice's Dream," which gives them the ability to turn their thoughts into reality. Detained and experimented upon, these youths are locked away in secret until one of them manages to escape. Her name is Sana—a girl with the power to ignore the very laws of physics. When this willful powerhouse crosses paths with a stubborn old man named Zouroku, his carefully-ordered life will never be the same again." - Anime News Network ~~~ When I first started watching this, I was super excited for the new season and was enjoying this one initially, and then it started to bore me, and now I'm in love with it again. There's something about the wonderful pairing of Sana and Zouroku that really makes me smile. Also the world building is excellent so far and although not super original it still manages to create a mysterious and exciting storyline. Not found anything worth mentioning that's wrong with it, although I'm sure someone will find something xP What do you think about Alice & Zouroku? Do you hate crooked stuff? I'd love some opinions on this Also I love Sanae. Observe the 'e'. It's a different person. Good naming skills right?

Aww I have been waiting for this thread I love this show so far!! It's found its place firmly in my Crunchyroll subscription box and it's my favourite out of the others in there The characters are hilarious, animation seems pretty solid, the plot is nice, relaxed and nothing special but still far from boring. Music is pretty good, although the op and ed already do my head in It's made me a little uncomfortable on occasion as its often veeeery suggestive about Sagiri who is *ahem* TWELVE yet she sounds like my 7 year old niece But then it's Japan so eh whatever Makes me laugh. It's cute. Totally ship Yamada and Masamune

Kumiko The Treasure Hunter and Why Don't You Play in Hell? look pretty damn cool actually, I'll definitely add those to my list to obtain xP Might make some fun lazy Sunday viewing this weekend, you think? Nice list, though I bet that took a while to compile I can't say I've ever watched any before, the most Asian live action I've ever watched is the occasional TV drama

Ooh sleep! Now I can sleep for DAYS* if I wanna I either sleep a ton or hardly any at all, it depends on what I'm up to. If I'm off to work the next day, I'll go to sleep about 11:00 and get up at 05:30 If I'm off to school the next day, I'll go to sleep about 11:30 and get up at 07:45 If I'm not doing either and I'm not in any danger of being busy (no cycling, chores etc) I'll sleep at 02:00 and and get up at like... 2 in the afternoon haha

TeamRem!! Rem is the absolute best* no question*! So much more character development and I was pretty sure towards the end that Subaru was gonna just forget about Emilia all together... yeahhhhh... I cried a little Emilia for me is just another damsel in distress, the terrifying and AAAARGH ADORABLE Rem has my heart for sure. WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN AWAY WITH HER?!!! 馬鹿!!! * debatable... I suppose

I use the beautiful iPhone 4S! Yes it's laughably outdated but I think it's modern enough to get by with just now as it does everything a new expensive smartphone would do except play Mario Run even remotely well Its also nice in the hand, I don't like flimsy new phones with massive screens. I have big hands and I still drop them. It's very bricky in the hand, fits me well and serves its purpose. So well that I have two of them incase one breaks. I'm not joking

Since I don't know of the character, I'll just go on appearances and assume a nimble, assassinesque character Sorry if I'm entirely wrong The footsteps of my two heavy heels echoed their crunches in the gravelled streets around the empty village. They strook the ground with haste and their incessant beating created a pulse not unlike a lonely grandfather clock. Except, there was something I found was off about the usually comforting beat of my leather boots. The echo was never quite the same every time. Unnaturally so, and sometimes I heard sounds that didn't match at all. Confused after a long day at work, I marched on regardless, trying to focus. I turned the corner onto my avenue sharply, and, without even a moment to react I felt the thickly treaded wheels of a mountain bike collide with the end of my right shoe. As it turned without slowing even slightly each toe tried desperately to escape until eventually there was no where left for them to curl. I almost fell as the sudden wave of pain shot up my leg. As I stifled a cry, the cyclist swerved to regain balanced but did not look back but instead continued. I gritted my teeth and bent my knees over and over to try to calm my quickly numbing foot. That was when I realised, that I wasn't mistaken before. I really did hear sounds in my own footsteps. I could hear, approaching quickly to my right, the sounds of someone, running. 'They must have just been walking along behind me' I thought as I turned myself around, preparing to pretend to not be hurt and assure her that I would be fine. What greeted me wasn't a concerned pedestrian, however. It was a young girl with a disturbingly stern and focused gaze, wearing clothing fit for combat. I saw her retrieve a long silvery knife from her side and rush with increasing pace. Naturally, before I was even truly aware of it, I started to run. I bolted away, becoming completely primal as my body defied my slow, action-numbed brain. To bolt, though, as I understand it, means to scurry away in a specific direction with huge velocity. I had neither of those things as I limped and struggled as quickly as I could in a very non-specific direction, which happened to be towards the garden of an elderly couple. I could hear my unnamed pursuer approaching closer and closer and I soon learned that trying to outrun them would be futile. As I continued to stagger, my attention snapped to the pocket knife my grandfather always insisted I carry in the upper left pocket of my jacket. I reached into the pocket desperately in one last attempt to free myself from the absurdly unlikely and surreal situation I had found myself in, and gripped the knife. I turned on a dime and looked at the attacker dead in the eye. They had me firmly in their sights too, as their stone-cold eyes remained fixed onto mine as the glistening blade lifted higher and higher until finally my primal instincts could take no more and in a panic I launched the knife from my hand and cowered away. A moment that felt like a thousand lifetimes hit me. As I laid there, pathetically curled lightly in a ball on the driveway of Mr and Mrs Parkinson I waited and waited for the story to end. But it didn't. Cautiously, my head jittered up and my horrified expression simply mounted itself deeper as I found the attacker's body splayed across the ground, with my knife plunged deep into their neck. Whether I was the luckiest man or the unluckiest man on the planet that night, is debatable. --- Wow that's garbage And not remotely epic, just one random dude coming home from work and being incredibly lucky against a trained assassin Eh, I still tried my best to be interesting and I enjoyed playing about with words for the best part of an hour. So even though you probably wasted your valuable time reading that, I had a little fun writing it, seeing as if it's a rarity for me these days. Cool idea for a forum game, I like it, though I dread to think of what Kobayashi-san will do the the user after me haha

OMG I'm in stitches this is gold

Damn, such a great song, thanks for posting Since the above, I'm back to listening to My Recovery Injection by Biffy Clyro.

Yessssss

latest?cb=20140419012421 It's gotta be Jiji of Kiki's Delivery Service. Although honorable mentions are the wonderful Chito-san and Kenny-san of Flying Witch Maybe Happy of Fairy Tail? Ooh or Chomuske from KonoSuba? Ugh so much choice I love cats can you tell lol

I'm boring. I use standard Unity Ubuntu with Ubuntu Studio on the side*. Managed to convert my mum and grandma to Linux too, they both use Ubuntu. Why not Windows? Well personally I find Ubuntu more responsive, cooler-looking and I think closed-source sucks. Oh and who even pretends to have time for "Configuring Windows Updates" every 5 seconds like come on why do you have to do this right now?!! *Literally on the side, on the right in the USB port on my laptop. Or any laptop really that's kind of the point. Use it for music and photo production and just as a general middle-finger to any Windows PC someone wants me to use. A portable desktop on a tiny flashdrive that's still faster that Windows. Except XP. XP rocks.

Thanks a lot!

Good question, I second that

I could recommend Kobayashi-san Chi no Maidragon? About a maid who is a dragon and wow I'm not doing this justice As with most anime descriptions its exactly what it sounds like but not at all like you would imagine from the description lol Anyway she (Touru) is assertive yet kind as you requested but also cute and hilarious. The last two go for the whole anime, but you should see for yourself if it interests you? She isn't too dense either which is a good sign I suppose It's very character focused too, since it's slice-of-lifey and centered around her and who she 'serves'.

Huh, so it is, never would have guessed haha Guess I'm just not observant enough Thanks for the warm welcome!!

Yeah sure I'll get in with this lol You're very welcome

Yesssss~ So happy to see that! I envy you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aNIRzcLSwk

Well my wallpaper WAS just this: Which is a picture I took myself last year but this inspired me to find an anime themed one And one where I can actually see the icons in the bottom right. See! I bet you never noticed them before I mentioned it! Now Chito-san will happily watch over my Trash can
