Any Transformers fans here? This is my Optimus Prime cosplay I made for myself out of cardboard. I started working on it since November 2023. I used cardboard, aluminum foil, red and blue paint even made the decals from the original toy from the 1980s on MS Paint and I liked how the decals came out, the decals I recreated on Paint really looked how the decals looked you had to insert on the original Optimus Prime figure or Battle Convoy. (If you are familiar of how the original Transformers toys originated from the Diaclone Toyline from Takara Tomy same for Microchange.) I worked so hard on this, one problem is that tried to put on the pauldrons I made out of cardboard and used paper towel holders for the smoke stacks but I don't know how to find a way to put them on my arms with the material I have at my house. Anyways, I am so proud of creating this cosplay, I even made videos showing off my home-made Optimus Prime cosplay on TikTok LOL! Yes, I made TikTok videos of me in cosplay, and making this Optimus Prime cosplay and showing it to my TikTok audience is a huge step up of my time cosplaying on this platform. And I will be wearing this at Fanimecon 2024 at the masquerade. Me wearing my Optimus Prime cosplay.

Looking for some nice anime or mangas with a "Da hood" theme, anything?

While web searches of course turn up titles of anime that involve soccer, I am specifically interested in one that could be considered similar in style to the anime of Haikyuu, and Rising Impact, the live action movie Shaolin Soccer, and the NES game Tecmo World Cup Soccer. My thanks to anyone who offers assistance. KL

"Sumiyoshi... those who have mastered their skill... share the same fate. Even if it's a new era. Even if you must take a different path to get there, you'll always find your way back to the same place. You seem to perceive me as some kind of special person, but you're wrong about that. I failed to protect anything that was important to me, and throughout my life I was unable to do what I was supposed to do" Why did Yorichi tell this to Sumiyoshi?And what does this mean?

In the anime Naruto, the hand seals used are supposed to channel "chakra" energy to use ninja magic or Jutsu. But, Did you know hand seals come from Hinduism and especially Buddhism?! In Buddhism, hand seals are called mudra and channel energy depending on what you want. Such as, using mudra for meditative practice or for health purposes!

Don't get me wrong I'm a big one piece fan but i have issues with anime and one piece fans First thing why one piece pacing is so bad in anime manga is far better in pacing and I just don't understand why the hell in anime they show us each and every characters reaction to a certain incident like literally each and every character!! And why the story have to be so prolonged I mean correct me if I'm wrong I enjoy one piece's quirkiness but i dont think it has a greater storyline i mean oda is a good story teller but not a good writer in my opinion don't get me wrong I really liked the whole cake saga but in each and every arc and saga things tend to be repetitive like the strawhats go to an island get split up coz of some reason and till each and every strawhat is delt with a boss luffy doesn't show up to the main boss and this is basic outline of every arc I mean why and if it's taking a lot of episodes to tell a small story( a arc story) then it's not a good storytelling And why does toei have issues with pacing like they show the intro then pervious episode's shit then some other character's shit who is basically not even a significant character and then some flashback then the outro and the preview of next episode that's it And I feel toei hates sanji And one piece fans are toxic See one piece is good but there are more good anime too And stop the debate about which is better one piece or naruto Well that would be an interesting debate But for the next time

I think its really cool how dragonball series has displayed powerful techniques like meditation, and even a bit of yoga! (i saw broly trying to do tree pose in the manga). Broly In Tree Pose The technique of meditation has always been around but it's is something characters like Vegeta need to progress on their path as a martial artist. Goku used to meditate when he was younger, Tien did too, and Piccolo meditates in DBZ alot. Vegeta is really smart because he realizes that their bodies have been trained to the maximum but now they must strengthen their minds through mental training.. In real life, meditation is used to calm ones mind/body and can be used to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Its insane that Akira Toriyama (RIP) knew a good amount of concepts on meditation. Stuff like half lotus, Burmese pose and full lotus are used in the show. When Jiren Meditated he used full lotus, a pose that has ones feet near their thighs to go into deep states of meditation. Jiren: Full Lotus and using cosmic Mudra Full Lotus Usually masters of meditation use this pose and beginners use Burmese pose. They even use the mudra or Dhyana mudra instead of the popular "Chin" mudra or hand seal thats quite popular. -Goku & Meditation Goku in Particular is using mindfulness and basic meditation to calm himself in the manga. As Ultra Instinct is Highly Difficult to get into unless one meditates. Goku has been seen meditating in Dragonball Super Anime although its not while sitting. He is using the technique called mindfulness to be aware of his thoughts, feelings, and environment before the assassin Hit tried to kill him. All day, 24/7 And if you don't know, mindfulness is a real meditation technique that can be used whenever you want. You can be anywhere and use mindfulness. Once again, Its when you focus on being aware of everything within and around you, in the present time that is. Also, Zen Buddhist monks use mindfulness to cultivate an advanced state of awareness called Mushin..... A Mind State that inspired Ultra Instinct. I might talk about Mushin eventually in another post.

Hey guys, I have Dragon Ball (151 episodes), Dragon Ball Z (291 episodes), and Dragon Ball Super (131 episodes). If there's any anime enthusiast who wants to watch them in Blu-ray, feel free to ask, and I can share them. P.S. The total file size is 1.81TB.

I DO NOT have a screenshot of it, but I came across an anime clip on Facebook which had a scene where one female character mentions to a male that her swimsuit is “skintight”, and then exposes her nipple to him. Next part, the male character shares a swimsuit with another female character or the same one, can’t remember. And then dive down in the pool. I’m not sure whether it was a piece of hentai or from an anime series of some sort, but could someone please help me as soon as possible to identify that Anime series and Episode? I Thanks.

Hello ! I am new here! I like anime ,especially One Piece!I also like anime advent ccalendar!

Feel Free to ask

Hello om Jacob johnson and I'm new to the anime community. I have a project I'm working on thats half comic book half manga and involved many innovative characters. I'm looking to raise fans a million to be exact in less than a year thats before 2025. I have a tiktok page with my comic on there you should check it out https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelbarrett513?_t=8fiMyPL5WZS&_r=1

I'm really excited and can't wait! So who's also going to be watching One Piece?

The story seems so relatable with very few minor differentiators. A group of three friends- Gojo, Geto and Shoko. Gojo is looney just like Naruto. Geto turns heel like Sasuke. Shoko is literally the Doctor just like Sakura. They have a teacher who later becomes the principal just like Kakashi became the Hokage. You can even relate it with the 3 saanin. Just like Naruto had Nine tails inside him, similarly Yuji has Sukuna. It is a good anime but one cannot leave aside the similarities from an anime which majority people have been following since childhood.

I've seen a lot of strong opinions about many Shounen titles, but everyone seems to have an opinion based on different criteria and expectations of what makes a Shounen great. Is it fair to base all Shounen Anime / Manga expectations on a few popular titles even if the stories and overall vibes are vastly different in many ways? Or is it like the Isekai genre where repetition is expected with slight variances?

Can Ostutuki Kaguya in Naruto beat Big Mama in One piece.

I just finished series and movie and I searched but couldn't get the exact answers I was looking for so please just tell me some things How did Mirai come back after dying? In the starting of second movie Mirai clearly had her memories at first but after meeting Akihito she lost it, why? Who is Kanbara Yayoi, how she knows everything and what is the actual relationship of her with Akihito? (we got a hint saying she is the gatekeeper and is ancient) And who are these three people at the end of Mirai-hen? (From the looks of it left one is Izumi but who are other two?)

Heeeheh~ I was kinda too nervous to post here, but! I tried cell-shading some chibis and it turned out ok, so why not? Brunette is my beloved OC Shizumoto Kaede and the white-haired bob-cut fellow an equally beloved canon villain from season 1 of Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, Kusatsu Kinshiro. I am a shameless OC insert kind of person and Kaede is one of my absolute favorites. Having someone so clumsy that she's basically a walking hazard as a hero is just In short, she's my baby lol. You'll probably be seeing more of her here in the future~ Please, if possible keep criticism to yourself; I'm happy with this the way it is and can't make changes to it now anyway.

So it wasn't until I saw clips of the current season that made me step back and realize just how different Hawks as a character is now. Any sort of charm or charisma he had is completely gone. Granted you can claim that it's because the heroes just took a massive L and I can understand that, but even with the recent manga chapters, he seems more of a former shell of who he used to be and has been relegated to being Endeavor's cheerleader rather than a "light of hope" as Horikoshi claimed before. He's now just this generic good hero character now, not that it's inherently bad for him to be like that, but the thing is, doing this completely removes any sort of potential of seeing moments of him wrestle with himself regarding issues like Twice's death and how he couldn't save him. We don't really get to see much more of what he's thinking or how he's feeling after the war because the story then shifts back to Deku and his classmates by the end of the season. The season spends a good portion of having the story centered around Deku working with the pros, and you're telling me there couldn't have been a moment of him reflecting on his fight with Twice or the commission? While I don't believe Hawks was in the wrong in that situation, especially after watching the anime, and regardless of how you might feel about his actions, it still doesn't take away from the fact that Twice's death was sort of overlooked. It's SHOULD'VE affected whether he's actually killed before or not. He mentioned it maybe once, showing slight remorse, but we don't see him ponder on it for long, and eventually his whole story, and reaction to his idol also being an abuser like his father was is just skipped over. He asks Endeavor if he's responsible for Shoto's scar and finds out it was actually Shoto's mother, and the guy just thinks about how HE'S in the wrong for apparently "abandoning his troubled parents. That's another point I'd like to bring up. Why is Horikoshi writing Hawks to feel any sort of guilt over leaving his abusive household? In what way does that make Hawks a selfish or weak person? So basically, Hawks' has been stripped of everything that made him cool and interesting, being to be a cheerleader for Endeavor, and is for some reason having to deal with the 'guilt' of leaving his abusive parents behind. Like, I'm sorry but wtf happened to Hawks? Going back to my first point regarding his shift in character, I know many fans will say shit like "That wasn't the real him" or "He's a changed person" but I call BS. All these posts made by Hawks stans talking about how he's no longer 'Hawks', but 'Keigo' instead is kind of lost on me. The hope he feels after the war that apparently shows the "real" him has always been there. This isn't anything new. The real him IS the laid-back smart-ass who wants more time to himself, it's his goal after all. I highly doubt he lied about his ultimate goal since he even shared his deepest desire with his idol, telling Endeavor he wants to live in a world where heroes have "too much time on there hands." I know the anime gives these "visual hints" I guess, like giving his eyes that light glint to it now rather than his usual half-lidded eyes with no glint, but I find a bit unnecessary if you in turn want to add emphasis to his eyes during scenes that benefit off that little detail like for example the recent episode where he he's taken aback by Uraraka's speech and the reactions of the angry mob. Some people wanna state that he's an optimist and his laid-back personality is just an act, but was he ever an optimist lol? Sure as hell wasn't introduced as one. Like he always hoped to be free, but there was always some cynicism deep down. They could have done a great story to have him come around to *why* he's developed into an optimist, but he basically came out of the darkest moment of his life just expecting the best out of people. I personally never really read him as “big optimist”. Like, wasn’t he very specifically atypical in his initial characterisation? He talked shit at the top 10 presentation, his goal was to not have to do anything. The one time he was outspoken about his “beliefs”, Endeavour thought it was out of character and something he normally wouldn’t do, which was true. That doesn’t really come across as “virtuous and altruistic Hawks, peak optimist” to me. This is more of a petty complaint I'd like to mention is how annoying it is to see his simps infantilize him in the recent episodes (makes it worse since, Idk if it's intentional or not, but he does look younger now which is a fat no for me, dog) but then again, this issue can be seen with A LOT of characters in the series, it's just become more noticeable for Hawks because of how badly he's been nerfed. Another petty complaint I'd like to add uhhhh his new look?....I don't like it. Typically, especially in shounen/action series when a character suffers battle scars it tends to make them look grittier and cooler. But Hawks, like I mentioned in my previous point just looks...younger? I don't get where all these people are coming from saying the guy looks "waaay better than he did before" when that's a whole ass lie. There's a reason why his character design was my favorite in the series, but he just looks so tacky and nerfed it's hard to even look at him now. I'm willing to go as far to say the manga made him look better, the anime makes him look like a chump. Anyways, I guess what I'm trying to say with all this piss is that I'd prefer to see Hawks as more than the one note character he's turned into in the anime and has been for quite some time in the manga. An interesting character stipped down to something generic, what a waste.

Hi! If you had a budget of $20, which JoJo item would you buy from Amazon, for cosplay?
