My Anime is my favorite : Sword art online is such a great anime to watch in a free time. the plot overall has twists and its amazing! what do you guys think?

Looking for good reccomendations like Sword Art Online. I've already seen Bofuri [I Don't Wanna Get Hurt So I'll Max Out My Defense]

If anyone ever read CCS clear card manga till the latest chapter, I wanna ask about Toya.. There is a spoiler here.. so those who doesnt like spoiler please dont read it and just skip to the question..... Now my question is who do you think that give the barrier in sakura's house in CCS clear card so kaito become hard to attack sakura? Who also take out the spell in Syaoran's body? Is it Toya with his new power? Or maybe Sakura's father with the help of her mom's spirit? Or is it Eriol but kind of impossible since Eriol is also sick and little bit weaker right?? or it'ss just kaito being weaker and gonna die each day... Idk.. Im really confused now... lol what do you think guys?

In the last blog post I showed what the main characters will look like. After designing the main characters, I designed one more character. Since I already finished the script for chapter 1, I know what characters are needed for the debut chapter. So I realized I needed to design Atsuko. She is the clan's best geisha a very promising prospect with the potential to become the best geisha in the country. I wanted her to look cool and even a bit masculine. A cool chick. She is also always smiling because of how confident she is in her abilities. Now after figuring out how the characters will look, I needed to know how their bodies will look like. So I started designing their clothes. I mainly focused on chapter one. There are more clothes to design and characters to design but I decided to just think of the first chapter. I'm no fashion designer but this is what I came up with. It's based on traditional Japanese costumes. This is what a Head Geisha will wear. Head Geishas are like the principals of a school. They are in charge of everything. They start a Geisha school and they train them. This is what Maikas will wear or "Geishas-in-training". Similar to students in school. After designing the clothes, I did a trial drawing. Combining what the character looks like and the clothes they will be wearing. Here's the main character Yumi. Her magic is fire related. She can generate fire from her hands and use that to fight. Here's Atsuko. Yumi's classmate who is the best student in their school. Her magic is ice. She also generates ice from her hands and uses it to fight. I also made the storyboard for chapter one. A storyboard is like a blueprint to how something will appear. Engineers use blueprints to build machines and artists use storyboards to build creative things. And that's everything I've got so far. I got my storyboard done so I can now start drawing for chapter one. That's very exciting. Thanks for reading. Take care!

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.

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?

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?

Ohayo mina! Can someone give us a unpopular anime to watch? Please and thank you ^ - ^

Who Would win ! Jonathan Joestar vs Eren?

So, I didn't see a thread on here about the "That time I got reincarnated as a slime" anime and I was wondering, what do you all think about it? I'm liking it so far ≧◡≦

Ok, I have no artistic talent of my own, but I know there's a few others here without such a handicap. Now is your time. What is an amabie, you ask? Well, wikipedia says, "... the amabiko is a multi-legged prophesizing creature which prescribes the display of its artistic likeness to defend against sickness or death." Yokai.com - obviously(?) the leading authority on yokai - has this somewhat more useful description, If anyone has some drawing skills and would like to take a crack at illustrating the above description(s) - for fun and (possibly) the aid of humanity - then post your artwork below. I think a bunch of people might benefit from seeing it before this whole thing is over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amabie http://yokai.com/amabie/ https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/amabie

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...

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

I watched Black butler near 20 episode it was awesome but I'm really confuse as I sadly come across a spoiler that Sebastian will be dead and some people as that manga and anime are different hope you guys help it

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.

Anybody familiar with a character called Ougun Bat or Golden Bat? This character was a skullfaced superhero who made his debut in 1931, 8 years before Superman and the start of the Golden Age of Superhero comics, here's a video I found that goes into detail on the character as well as discuss the character's influence not just on Anime and Manga but on Tokusatsu superheroes as well. http://youtube.com/watch?v=6ExePeYkGwA&t=8s Video on Golden Bat

I'm looking an anime like oban star-races, space dandy , kekkai sensen and redline, with a lot of cool species, if you know any please tell me. *I've alredy watched pokemon and digimon*

What are your thoughts on No Game No Life, will there be a season 2?

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!

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!

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 ✌

Hi, I've been looking for this anime so much time that I don't really remember how long. So anime definitely aired before 2000. It had so much erotic content, but the main plot was so great that erotic content I don't really recall. I saw only one episode at my friends. Ever since I did not see anything like that. What I remember is that, main plot was about some cult who was sacrificing ladies, piercing trough their bodies and so on. It was so epic, I've never seen anything like that. So main heroine, wasn't really connected with that cult, and she fall in love with some guy, and for some reason she had been attacked. But she had some magical power which protected her, and she gave her earring to her boyfriend (earring contained that power). So she fall in love and gave away her power. After a while, her boyfriend started using that power and saved her. But got into cult's hands and became a monster. Anime had a lot of sexual content, Ecchi but not Hentai. A lot of violence, really good plot , and all that Japanese stuff, which we like. If you've seen that, please let me know the name of anime. Thank you!

If ya had money to burn on a pimped out (ITASHA) anime car. Which model brand would you pick and or anime waifu/husbando/daughterfu to go with it? Examples to pick from:

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.

I am so bored during this quarantine. I've been making original characters my entire life. So I decided to make an OC of someone else's suggestion. Chat me or just comment below
