  1. I’m almost done writing the story. Well almost, almost is the key word there. Just a little bit more and I can finally start drawing. I cannot show you what I’ve written so far because it will contain spoilers. And I do want you to read this webtoon someday. But I want to share with you a cool tool I just discovered. It’s a map generator. Now I know they exist but it’s the first time I actually used one. It’s called Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator. And it’s perfect if you’re writing a fantasy story. Like me. Especially for world building. So you can better imagine your fantasy world. Every time you refresh the page it comes up with a new random map. It even comes up with names if you’re too lazy to think of some. Clicking on a place name will get you more information that has been randomly generated for you. And of course you can change it to your liking. You can pan around to check out the map. And the most important part, you can save this map so you can edit it later. Because remember, once you close this tab your map is gone and a new random map will be generated. All in all I found this tool really useful in writing my story. And I hope it can help you out too. Comment below what you think of Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator. Or what tools you use to make your writing easier. I’m going back to writing now.
  2. I wrote where I got my webtoon idea from in the last blog post. You can read that first before reading this one. We can start expanding this idea into a full story. It’s time to write! Writing is really hard. It’s harder than drawing to be honest. It’s so hard that a lot of webtoon creators actually skip it. They go straight to drawing instead. They do a very rough draft of their story and go directly to the fun part of making a webtoon. Which is drawing. And that is why you get Anime, TV shows, or games that have crappy endings. Because the story was a second priority. It was just made along the way. However, it’s not practical to write a complete novel before you even start designing your characters. That is too extreme. I think it’s best to be in the middle where you have the story done. It’s complete but not set in stone. You can make changes along the way. But you already know how it will go and even know the ending. I am using a Microsoft Word template to do that. It works by asking me questions that will help form the story. I will have a complete story once I answer all the questions. I made this template by combining things I learned from using Storyweaver and Dramatica which are very old software. I used them in the past and I thought it was pretty cool that they helped you construct a solid story. You will eventually hit a writer’s block where you run out of ideas. It happens to everyone so don’t worry about it. What I did was I went to You Tube to do research. I searched for Japanese mythology or Japanese legends and watched a lot of videos. I also used a Japanese name generator for my characters. This saves me time of having to brainstorm them names. Unless a character needs to be named something specific. And here’s the first version of the synopsis. This is just the first version and can change over time. Let me know in the comments below what you think. Is it too cliche? And do you have any suggestions to make it better?
  3. Way back in 2002 I was playing a game called "Battle Realms". I liked that game so much that I would skip school for half a day just to play. It was that fun for me. I also liked the eastern Japan feudal period it was in. It looks so beautiful. The architecture, the forests, the way the characters looked. Me and my friends were also making manga at that time. We were amateurs and it was just a bunch of nerds that thought making our own manga would be pretty cool. And I needed a story. So I wrote one taking inspiration from Battle Realms. Thankfully, it was somewhat original and not just a blatant rip-off. Which is common if you're young and a fan of something. I also played "Throne of Darkness" and "Divine Divinity" during that period. So I guess I got some elements from those games as well. I like the story of Throne of Darkness even if it was a very simple one. And I like the seven samurais too. And of course the demons that you fought were awesome. Again, it was set in feudal Japan. For Divine Divinity I only took inspiration from the PDF file that came with the game. I think it was the prequel story or background story. But it wasn’t the game itself. It was still a good game though. We were actually able to make one chapter of this story. The first and last one. I called it “Terra Firma.” Which is a terrible name in hindsight. It’s 2021 now and I’m dusting the story off to bring it back. It’s basically an 18-year old story. Which is crazy. I also thought it would be a good idea to post this on Reddit to see how webtoon readers would feel about it. This takes a lot of guts because you never know what people will say. Not recommended for people with thin skin. It didn’t get much attention to be honest, only one person commented saying it sounds so cliche but would still read it. That’s actually a good sign because it means this story has potential. It sounds cliche for now but still interesting enough if done right. I also set up a poll for users who don’t want to comment but still want to help. You know, those silent lurkers. And it got three votes. Three not four because I voted on my own poll. That was the only way you can see the results early in Reddit. I know it sounds weird and I think Reddit should fix that. Two users found this story interesting and one user chose to pass on this one. So 66% of webtoon readers might be interested in a story like this. And that was good enough for me to give it a go. I’ve always wanted to finish this story. I never got the chance 18 years ago but I have the chance now. I feel like I owe it to the younger me to get it done. There you have it. That’s where I got my webtoon idea, from video games. From 18 years ago. Games are not a bad idea to get weapons ideas from. Let me know in the comments below, where do you get your ideas from?
  4. Who Would win ! Jonathan Joestar vs Eren?
  5. Heyo ! I'm pretty new around here, but I was curious if you ever wanted to make a game or at least design one or two characters. Maybe share some of your ideas ?
  6. Yo Anime Forums! It's Groove_Kami here to bring you this blog. So, I love the series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It was created back in 1987 by Hirohiko Araki and since then, we've had more than 30 years of this series bliss. It currently has 8 parts, 8 main JoJo's, over 150 stands, and lots and lots of badboys. But, there is a certain part that a lot of fans consider their favorite part, and one of the most popular parts, being Part 5: Golden Wind. Golden Wind has this weird appeal to the fans, and is much different from the earlier parts. It's more, Bizarre, per se. I think one of it's appeals is it's main cast, who we will be looking at and ranking by their strengths and abilities. I will be ranking all 7 of Passione(Bucciaratti's Team), our main cast. Now, if you have seen part 5 and disagree with my rankings, please, be mindful and don't act like a coked-up chimpanzee. Now, with all of this out of the way, let's begin. #7-Leone Abbachio & Moody Blues- Leone Abbachio, a former cop who had quit after the death of his partner, and overall being mediocre at his job. One night, he was found by Bucciarrati, and he was offered to join his squad. He joined the mafia gang, Passione, and got his Stand, Moody Blues. Moody Blues is a close-range Humanoid Stand with the ability of Chronological Rebroadcasting. Chronological Rebroadcasting allows Abbachio to replay any event that has happened, whether it be 5 minutes or 20 years ago. But, the more time had passed from that events, the more time it will take to replay it. Now, this Stand is not used for combat, but more for investigation. This already lands Abbacchio on the weakest spot on the list, along with it's low stats, with a C in Power, Speed, Precision, and Development. It only has A's in Range and Persistence. So yeah, Abbachio is the weakest of all of Passione. #6-Guido Mista & Sex Pistols- Guido Mista, a young man who was cheated by the legal system for murdering 4 people with a gun when saving a woman. He was sentenced 15-30 years in prison, but was eventually bailed out by Bucciaratti due to his skills with a pistol, and offered him a spot on his team. He accepted and got his Stand, Sex Pistols. Sex Pistols is a long-distance colony stand, being 6 in total, numbered 1-7(he skipped 4 due to it being unlucky). Sex Pistols' ability is Bullet Control. Sex Pistols will load themselves into the cylinder of the pistol, and once a bullet is shot, they will ride on the bullet. They then can change the trajectory and/or add power and speed to the bullet. Now, he could've been higher if his Stands were more useful without Mista's gun, because anybody above Mista can break the pistol, catch bullets, or easily defeats their Stands. Plus, Mista will eventually run out of bullets, thus making him and his stand utterly defenseless. #5-Trish Una & Spice Girl- Trish Una, a young woman who is the daughter of the boss of Passione, Diavolo. She originally was suppose to be guarded by Bucciaratti's team, but was secretely supposed to be killed by Diavolo. She then stayed with Bucciarati's team, and developed her Stand, Spice Girl. Spice Girl's ability is Softening. Softening allows Spice Girl to, well, soften anything it touches. This already gives her an advantage because she can soften Mista's gun. But...she doesn't have any other advantage other than actually being a combat stand. So yeah, Trish is just not that strong compared to the other members. #4-Narancia Ghirga & Aerosmith- Narancia Ghirga, a young man who was betrayed by his friends, and was a delinquent with a terrible life. Narancia's mother had died from an eye disease when Narancia was young. Eventually, he was neglected by his father, which basically let Narancia do whatever he wanted. He dropped out of school, and started hanging out with young thugs and delinquents. Eventually, he was tricked by one of his friends and got framed, and was soon betrayed by his friends, and then got the same disease his mother got. One day, Pannacotta Fugo, a member of Passione, found him outside. the resturant he was at. Bucciarratti offered him food, and eventually got his disease healed. He then wanted join Passione, and was accepted. Then he got his Stand, Aerosmith. Aerosmith is a long-distance stand that takes the form of a small WW2 fighter plane, loaded with powerful weapons. He has 2 machine guns loaded under each wings, with an infinite number of hard-hitting bullets. He also has a small bomb that can decimate the inside of a car, and a Carbon Dioxide radar. Narancia is a pretty powerful opponent, but falls in comparison to the people higher than him. #3-Bruno Bucciarati & Sticky Fingers-Bruno Bucciarati, the leader of his own team, and has had a troubled past. His Father was a fisherman, and his Mother would stay at home. They divorced when Bucciaratti was 10, where he decided to stay with his 10. One day, his dead was shot down when he witnessed a drug deal, but was saved by luck. Bruno would vow to protect his father, and did when the dealers came to kill him one night. Bucciarati then joined and served under Passione, eventually gaining his own team, being our main cast. Bucciarati's Stand is Sticky Fingers, a close-range stand that can create and manipulate Zippers. Bucciarati can create Zippers and do a lot with them. He can store and hide in his zippers, unzip his body parts to extend his range, zip and unzip peoples bodies, and so much more. And due to his amazing intellect and creativity, this allows him to climb the ranks to our 3rd spot. #2-Pannacotta Fugo & Purple Haze- Pannacotta Fugo, a young boy who has a high IQ. He was able to go to college at age 10, where he beat his teacher with an encyclopedia after almost getting sexually harassed by his teacher. He was then neglected, and eventually, kicked out of his family by his parents. Then, he was found by Bucciarati, and joined his crew. He then got one of the deadliest Stands in the gang, and all of JoJo, Purple Haze. Purple Haze can create a deadly virus that can eat a living-being's flesh in under 30 seconds. This ability is overpowered, but has one flaw: it damages and affects the user. You could swap Fugo and Bucciarati around, but I chose Fugo over Bucciarati due to his deadly virus. #1-Giorno Giovanna and Gold Experience- Giorno Giovanna. The Main JoJo of Part 5 and the son of Dio Brando. He joined Passione after his fight with Bucciarati so that he can stop the boss, become the boss, and stop the gang from selling drugs to kids. Giorno's Stand is Gold Experience, a Stand that has multiple abilities. His main ability is Life Giver, where it can create living beings from inorganic objects. It has Damage Reflection, which i self explanatory. It can also create flesh and organs to heal and give people new body parts. He also has Life Exhaustion, which allows him to grow and wither things in an instant. It has Life Shot, which can accelerate someone's thought process before they even attack, rendering them unable to move for a bit. But that's not all, because Gold Experience has another form. If Giorno stabs himself with the Requiem Stand Arrow, he can become Gold Experience Requiem, the most powerful Stand in JoJo. It as all of it's original abilities, but with one new ability: Return to Zero. Gold Experience Requiem's ultimate ability is to revert actions and willpower directed against Giorno back to the state of "zero", completely nullifying them and preventing them from becoming "real". Hence, it is virtually invincible, as all "supposed" actions created by an opponent would have been reset (back to point zero). Once struck by this effect, there is no escape from it, and the opponent will have every action they perform reverted back to "zero". It is mentioned by Giorno himself that he is unsure of the exact workings and limits of GER's powers, but it has been shown that its range of influence extends from surface contact to even being in the mere attention field of GER. This cavalcade of abilities allow Giorno to climb up to the strongest spot on Bucciarati's team. Anyway, that's all from me. If you want me to analyze or rank anything from your favorite anime, let me know. Also, this is my first blog on my first day here, so I have high hopes for this sit. Ask me anything in the comments, and I'll see ya later. Adios Chimichangas.
  7. Hello all, Here's a general discussion on who you think is the best/fav Akatsuki memeber. Kisame is mine. Its really too bad Samehada likes octopus though...
  8. heyy i was wondering if there could be a way to reunite all the tsubasa fans to pressure clamp into remaking the series like it is in the manga or at least to continue it
  9. So they released the new PV annoucnign that shaman king will be getting a reboot, like FMA brotherhood style, and I for one am super excited especially I grew up with this anime and even read the manga, and the manga is absolutely amazing, so i was hoping others like me are also excited that shaman king is getting a new chance at showing what kind of anime it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyzqCA8aVSo
  10. is there any anime like SAO and I don't pain so I max out .....recommendations pls
  11. Helllo AF! Im BrysonMedia but you all can call me BM! Im an active lover of anime and this is only my 2nd forum so Im a bit of a newbie. My fav animes are DBZ,MHA,TG,and Soul Eater. Im curently trying to start Bleach. Im super exicited to be joining you guys!!!!!!
  12. hi guys I am planning to watching black butler it is good anime if not any recommendation for other
  13. What do you guys think a 3D Open world Mega Man game would look like? Just imagine you're in the year 20XX, the X series hasn't been created yet(though that doesn't mean that and the powers inthat game can't be refered to in some way) and the world is essentially an Ecumenopolis, a planet wide city. You still have robot masters to defeat and a whole world to explore. What would the game play be like? I wanna stay away from the whole amnesia trope that BOTW has to elicit a feeling of discovery but I still want discovery to be a huge aspect of the game. My thoughts are that Mega Man has the ability to take on 3-4 job classes at once. And by job classes I mean the powers bestowed onto Rock by either defeating robot masters or scanning their data. Rock would essentially work as a hands on Civil Servant. He takes on jobs like Kitty Wrangler, Volunteer Firefighter(Aqua Man Abilities), Mover/ Construction worker(Guts Man abilities). Each power has 3-4 different types of uses and allows him to either traverse the world around him in interesting ways or let him deal with obstacles in the way like with Gutsman's carrying powers. He was just created in this world and is the "first" of his kind that can have multiple abilities like this, not knowing Proto Man was already created. but Rock and Roll are the two parts of Proto Man that needed to be separated in order to not have insubordination. Essentially Rock would have the powers and the more obedient mind to carry our orders while Roll would have the super intelligence to coordinate Rock externally much like you see in The Oracle from the Batman series/comics or Futaba in Persona 5. Whats the mystery though? I could just have it be character driven like why both programs in Proto Man couldn't run simultaneously and ended up corrupting him but it can also maybe refer to the world illustrate how the sigma virus started? I also want the world to have a bit of discovery elements to it and maybe through the different aspects of the world, you realize that combinations in programming cause the robots to malfunction and it's your job to fix it or make sure it doesn't happen again. Maybe there's a scrap pile for all of the thrown out robots and you can get weirdly "cronenberg-y" with it with Robots tryin to assemble and create deformed looking versions of themselves. Maybe in a less horror note, the robots have found a sanctuary that allows them to be away from the busy bustling life of humans and have learned to live amongst nature like the so called murder robots in Laputa Castle in the Sky. How would Rock deal with that and is that enough for the sense of discovery? How would one in this type of setting get the BOTW sense of discovery though? I'm curious about your thoughts.
  14. Good evening. I'm looking for some fluffy and soft shojo ai anime meaning no sexual content please. It'd be cool if the anime had a well developed storyline as well as characters. I'm also down for the romance part to be only a sideplot or just subtly hinted at and having cool action/ adventure features. And if I'm not picky enough, it'd be great if the female protgonists didn't have their typical assigned ,,roles,, in the relationship aka the male and the female type. Thanks for all recommendations beforehand
  15. Hello everyone, today I’ll be reviewing episode one of Sword Art Online. Let’s do this, shall we? As soon as it starts, within the first 20 seconds, I am HOOKED, and I can tell I will enjoy this. Unlike One Piece, I really like the art style of this. I guess I’m just into this sort of thing. Seriously, by the time the dude has fired up his RP headset, I’m shaking with excitement. The concept, the art style, the characters, it’s all awesome. For some reason, other VRV users have so many negative comments. Stuff like “this is trash.” And “why am I rewatching this sucky show? Guess I’m that bored...” Then again, VRV users always have something negative to say, regardless of how good a show is. A bit later on, and I’m really starting to like Kirito. He’s really nice, although something’s a bit... off about him. I’m really hoping quarantine makes humanity design some sort of huge game like SAO. It doesn’t have to be exactly the same, but it’ll still be awesome. Hopefully, they don’t trap us in this real-world version, though! Honestly, the reveal of Kayaba wasn’t a surprise to me at all. If them not being able to logout really was a bug, the writers would have missed an awesome chance. Plus, the whole story is centered around them being trapped in Aincrad. Klein getting left behind by Kirito is a bit devastating, but I’m sure we’ll see him again. I hope they’re a ship, since I always love LGBTQ+ representation in my fandoms. (Plus, cause I just love their dynamic.) Overall, even if it was a bit predictable, it was really good. So many elements added to the enjoyableness of it. I’ll give this episode 5 out of 5 stars. See you next week for episode two!
  16. Hi, just testing the waters here to see how popular this forum really is but I would really hate leaving my post without replies for days if nobody knows this short lived anime. I want anime fans to be aware of the shows I discovered so one day they'll expect future projects from me based on the shows I talked about here and since some of these shows might be too taboo for the family friendly community out there, Im also working on a clean cut/edited version where adult anime shows can be easy and safe to watch without worrying the taboo parts lol. Anyways, I want to get down to the anime I wanted to discuss and show off screenshots here if nobody minds! Adult anime are not my favorite type of shows but they have a very interesting lore that could have made them more famous or a potential future if the writers concerned the family audience instead of targeting adults back then. To some people especially Americans who might have seen this before and thought it was just a 90's series but I can bet that many English viewers might not be aware of the fact this show once started life as a 4 volume comic series in the late 80's! Since the original comics was never released here in English, nobody knows at least the American fans won't have any idea how the original story turned out because the anime adaption itself was a very poor adaptation! it's a Horrible shame for this story that could have seen better success if not for the unnecessary nasty content that made Maya known infamous for and the likely reason why it was quickly forgotten after the 2 episode anime and the 4 comics. Maya is 18 years old who got tricked by a mysterious fortune teller, he tricked her into looking at the crystal ball that fool people thinking he's an ordinary fortune teller but "UNFORTUNATELY" (pun lol) he's not and now she end up in another planet probably a lot of people don't know about! Maya is like a combination between She-Ra and Prince Adam where she starts out as a plain and simple young woman who might be still in her late school years or just in time ready for graduate, she eventually becomes the "Most powerful woman in the universe" (another pun lmao) when she finds that mysterious sword she pulled out after getting herself sucked in by a magical portal inside the bad guy's castle, beats me why in the heck would it be locked inside awaiting for the hero while she was held prisoner there? This is one of those scenes that will continue to confuse us for years to come! since we won't know anyway lol. Here some screenshots of Maya's cool transformation! Does her look scream out She-Ra or He-Man to all of us fans here? lol. But Maya is not the only character in the show, of course! Here the others below I want to introduce to the community of today's anime era of the most forgotten adult anime characters in the 80's comic and the 90's anime adaption! Heckle and Jaeckle are named after 2 very old cartoon characters Heckle and Jeckle better known in the West long time ago. Heckle and Jaeckle are not birds but frog-looking folks who acted like couple of perverts working for the evil slave king at first until after they sold Maya for 5 million, she was later taken hostage inside the castle and they rescued her, eventually becoming her helpful partners but not very long when when they somehow got lost in the woods and she was taken again. They're not much of a fighter but least one appeared to be armed with a axe. Leyna, one of my favorites! She works inside the castle of the bad guys where she constantly cook to fed slaves held in the castle, she becomes fast friends with Maya and even has the key to escape! But they didn't make it (TOO BAD! game over lmao) Not much is known about her other than working for the villains even if she has no evil intentions, she does appear to be likely another slave sold to them but instead cooking and not tied up in chains or torture chairs lmao. In the comic, she stayed in the castle while Maya successfully escaped. I don't know her name, she always appear very short and briefly through the episodes, where she seem to act as a spy! What is her background story and how in the hell does she know Maya prior to the current events? The mysterious fortune teller! Nothing else known about him other than the fact that Heckle calls those people sorcerers, they pick up people from Earth and teleport them to the mysterious planet possibly working for the evil king to bring down more slaves from Earth to sell! I don't know his name but doesn't look like Marth or Ike? He is also searching for Maya for whatever reason. He doesn't seem to be evil and more likely from Earth or another planet! Again, its a mystery how he knows Maya prior to the current event! "Roys our boys!" lmao XD Below are some of the unknown bad guys! More pics to come later! About the anime, this was only released in adult stores on VHS and DVD, a very rare thing to find across Texas unless you live in rich areas like maybe California or Florida but Im not sure about New York or Washington since I never been to those states. I censored the box in case the community is sensitive about adult content here and I understand that. This is called Cool Devices, it was out during late 90's and only dubbed in America, it was officially banned in Canada which means nobody knows or even aware of Maya there! Canada has this very weird thing about banning adult content anime or adult shows which makes me wonder how Canadians manage to live without hentai or adult videos there, guess its a sexual free society there or the fact maybe most Canadians are asexual? Or maybe adult anime was banned there to avoid confusion children for cartoons? Who knows the laws of Canada there lol. The VHS version includes 2 episodes and 1 episode of the famous Kite! This short would be the first of the Kite series and it later gets its own full length anime movie few years, making it the most popular short of the Cool Devices! The others went long forgotten and down to obscurity with only few of the other Cool Device stories getting their own comics or anime. Here some covers of the original comics that never saw release outside Japan! I think they were released around 1989 or 1988? The comics are very hard to find as only few of them can be found online on ebay but they're fairly common on Yahoo Japan auctions. One more thing, is a screenshot of the sword! Looks like the Falcion from the popular Fire Emblem games does it? lol. Thats all for now but look forward to more Maya posts in the near future from me!
  17. So I like to take the time to talk about reading manga/comics. This entry isn't so much about something specific I am currently reading but more about reading apps on my phone. I'll be quite honest I have a few (10 to be exact). That might be excessive or for some not enough. I started with one from an ad on facebook or instagram not sure and it spiraled out. I will divulge i mostly read romance and bl on the sites. I have the following: webcomics, mangatoon, tapas, patreon, torycomics, tappytoon, manga renta, webtoon, coolmic(XXX), webnovel(not a good one but i can't find the comic im currently reading anywhere else). Webcomics, mangatoon have a point system along with buying coins to read. Some comics need money to read I'll be honest but the free coins do help Patreon is really good if you want to help artist in my opinion by directly funding and in doing so you do get perks. Also to can also read uncensored versions. My 3 favorites though thus far are tapas, tappytoon, and webtoon all are which are paying types. Though I have to say its worth it especially tappytoon. The stories and graphics are on point. There really isn't bad translations that you get from other sites. They don't have a big collection but what they do have is great well in my opinion. One of my favorites on Tappytoon is Light and Shadow was such a good story so much I would really love a hard copy. The Knight and Her Emperor is also quite excellent. That's all I have to say for now. As I am intrupted by a nasty thunderstorm so I'm going to get going if you have any questions about today's blog please feel free to ask. The pics attached are screen shots of app icons on my phone, the 2 in the middle are tappytoon, and the last one is webtoon
  18. I joined this forum a couple weeks ago and I've been trying to submit information to those with questions regarding an anime they saw in the past (Recommendations Section). If you saw something in the early 2000's or 90's...post your question if you're looking for the name of or information regarding an older anime in the Recommendations section. I'll try to answer this week or next week if I recognize the title. Even if I don't recognize your description entirely; I can still try to point you in the right direction. If you posted 'looking for...' context in Recommendations; check to see if I haven't already written an answer. I joined Anime Forums to help people find or rediscover classic anime. I know over 300 classic titles by memory and have knowledge of some rarities which never made it out of Japan. If it's regarding manga, though...I'm not quite as helpful (I never read manga quite like I watch anime). Advise is free...take it ✌

  21. So I was getting really bored sitting around waiting for new episodes of the current shows I am watching and now most are on delay it seems. UGH. So I decided to go back and watch something I hadn't finished watching and since it had been a little while since I last watched it I started it from the beginning. I think the whole reason I had stopped watching in the first place was because when I first came out there was some kind of break in the show and as I was waiting most likely started watching other things and then at some point totally forgot about it. Now that is not saying it isn't a good show because as it turns out I quite liked this anime. However I will say after finishing it this time there are so many holes in this thing. I ended up not being about to sleep last night cause it got me thinking about all kinds of things and what I wanted to write in this blog. So dumb!! ATTENTION MAY BE SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Gate: Thus the Japanese Self-Defense Force Fought There A 24 episode first season though if you look it up it might refer to the later half of the series as season 2 because like I mentioned before there was a short break before it started back up. I recently read though that another season was in the works which makes me feel better because hopefully some of the holes that I found might be metaphorically filled. Like the title refers you guessed it a Gate appears more like mysterious tunnel in the middle you guessed it again Japan. Those that came through the gate were super dumb and started killing people. The hero of the show Itami well he is my type of guy lol. He is a giant Otaku (yay!!!) but apparently is part of JSF and later you'll find a damn good solider though he also makes the excuse his job is just to fund his main passion of being an Otaku. You learn a lot of amazing things about him that his fellow soldiers find crazy and unbelievable cause he is super lazy really. Which is just hilarious and it's kind of like me I feel. After saving many lives during the invasion he gets prompted and soon finds himself on a team that would head through the gate to take the fight to them and secure the gate so something like this doesn't happen again. The people and empire on the other side never had a chance with our advance weaponry. They are stuck in a more Roman era with bows, swords, and shields. After establashing themselves and pretty much slaughtering everyone this is where the fun and story really begins. Magic girls, animal girls, one or two demi gods, and some elves what more could you ask for. Oh how about a few rounds with a fire breathing dragon. Poor Itami ends of with a little bit of a harem. As they try to reach some peace talks with the kingdom in this other realm other forrces move from both sides. Apprently other nations other than Japan want to get there hands on the girls when them come back for a visit/military/public inquiry of sorts. That was a fun episode. Then there is King he is a big jerk, the Princess is really the one who lends her hands to peace talks. There are 2 Princes' one who is a totally idiot and sadistic freak which you get to see in an episode. nice silhouette action (XXX). The other prince is more thoughtful though we really don't get to see to much of him. So maybe next season we will see more from him. Idiot Prince some how comes into power and a little struggle happens but ultimately JSF gets the upperhand. So at the end of the season kind of wraps up nicely with a few couples forming (lol) but there are too many holes in the story that really make me want another season to resolve the issues. Also I will say the story travels quick but nicely, all the characters that come into play are nice but there were a few I wanted to know about them I guess cause they were so lovable. Mainly Itami's group. He ends up with a small unit under him and they pretty cool. Okay second Prince barely sees any screen time and then disappears and leaves his sister to fend for herself, not that she is week she sorta made herself into a knight and started her own group under a rose banner. So she can fight but she is a bit naive really. Here are some of my issues with the show. Now I am not military expert but they base the military a little too much like the American military in my opinion seems just odd. Playing TAPS and stuff and the way they operated seemed to similar. I only say this because I served myself. I don't think JSF would operate in the same manner. But like I said it is just my opinion. *EDIT* I forgot about the issue of the actual Gate. Okay so in a later episode they go to a Mage city were Lelei who is a magical user is trying to become a master that's really side note. Anyway when they go the talk with the Grand Master and apparently Rory had given her homework. Basically to find out about the gate. The grand master begins to tell why there are some many different races there and well the turns out the gate has been opening and closing for a long time and each time it opened a new race would come through. Which one makes sense as to why the Empire showed up in the first place because they already knew it was going to open and and some point before the gate actual appears the boundaries had already blurred and they kidnapped a few Japanese citizens. So I bring this because they talk about and then it's almost like no one cares that the gate might close. Struck me quite odd that there was no emergency of telling superiors about this. Like I don't know how long the gate is suppose to stay open for. It's really not discussed at all. So I find that bit of info alarming cause I'm like you guys might get stuck there I don't know. Anyways this was the other thing that really bothered me about this show. With all that I still really enjoyed the show.

  24. Hello everyone, I'm working on a research project focused on the role that setting plays in the consumption and spread of anime. To further this, I have a series of questions for those who have seen Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away and Makoto Shinkai's Your Name. The questions are as follow. Thank you for your time. 1) What is your nationality/country of origin? 2) What country do you currently live in? 3) How old were you when you watched Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away)? 4) How old were you when you watched Kimi no na wa. (Your Name.)? 5) Which film sounded more interesting, compelling, or exciting to you before you watched it? 6) While watching the films, which one was able to hold your attention and keep you caring about the storyline, the world the characters inhabited, or the premise? 7) After you finished the films, which one did a better job of keeping you invested in the story, world, or premise? 8) Which aspects of the films played the biggest role in your answers to questions 5-7? 9) Which film do you like better personally, and why? Is there a certain aspect or element that one film possesses over the other that makes you enjoy it or like it more?
