Does that mean you have more?ย ย Nice to meet you, I'm Eza and it's always wonderful having new people come through. I had a long break from anime as well. Not too sure what pulled me back but here I am. Hope you enjoy your experiences on the forum. The community is super friendly, if you need anything just ask away.ย I have a few of my absolute favourites and I have stories linked to them, it is a creative process to make a meaningful name after allย :) It's really nice to meet you! So we are more or less in the same boat. I don't really know what made me watch anime again either but I guess I knew all this time that I would go back to it :D It is so cool to be on a forum again, the last time I was registered on one was probably over 10 years ago. Feels kind of retro :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to meet you! Glad to know I am not the only one who took a break. I felt a bit odd because I am older than quite a few of anime fans an now no one wants to watch old anime cause there's lots of good new shows... So I felt like there is this gap I will not be able to bridge and I'll just be like an anime grandma reminiscing about Cowboy Bebop and Death Note and the rest of them old classics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illusion of Terra Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) yeah we are getting old ย I still remember the first time a few years back when some older teenagers called me 'mister' and I thought like 'come on, I'm not much older than you, am I?' ย also don't appreciate the hair density on my head steadilyย decreasing with age ย Edited April 15, 2020 by Illusion of Terra 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, later than 2015 I guess Oh I so recommend them, they are awesome! ย I hope you'll enjoy them. They are all quite serious ones, so be prepared ย Also they're different styles and all of them are very unique ย On 4/15/2020 at 1:14 PM, Ohiotaku said: Definitely feel that too.

It does seem that everyone is super nice here When did Fate Stay Night get released? To me it sounds like a new one, cause I went on my 'anime break' around 2010 Yeah, this situation is affecting every aspect of our life. I just hope those studios survive tbh. Thanks a lot for recommendations, I'll save them!

And, I think you will find you are around good company if you think 25 is old hahahaha (it's a good spaced out group of ages and lots of different life experience instead of a younger gen here...from what I've found thus far) Edited April 18, 2020 by Nyxnine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that you have stories attached to them. ย Lots of people just call me Eza or Eli. Although, I had a best friend back in middle school that called me Li-Li. Oh, duhโI suppose none of this makes any sense but it's because my name is Elizabeth.ย ย I chose my username because I like Jazz music. Two-five-one is a common progression in the genre. Suuuper corny, I know.ย Yeah, I took a long hiatus from anime. More than five years, I think. Then I had to catch up on some of the shows I missed. Sometimes, I'm still a little picky with anime because of the distance I gave it. I don't even remember which show pulled me back in. Welcome to the Ballroom perhaps.ย Same here. ย Well, technically not a forum forum but I was on Crunchyroll for a bit. I haven't been there in eight years though. Welcome to the retro club!ย ย Those nicknames are really nice though! And my friends name is Elizabeth too and I call her Eli I recently realised I like some jazz music, but it really depends...I think I usually prefer smooth one (usually associated with cafe background music I guess). I think I discovered jazz through Cowboy Bebop soundtracks OMG this is such a coincidence (in a way) that it is crazy! I just watched 'Welcome to the Ballroom' last week. It was my first ever sport anime and I was surprised that I really liked it Wait, Crunchyroll is that old?O.O I assumed it was a very new thing! I don't have an account cause I am a student and I decided that for now it is not investing ย And thanks! I like retro things, so this is quite fitting :DDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it sounds like a new one, cause I went on my 'anime break' around 2010 The original is from 2006, I started watching it but never finished but donโt remember why. Just last year I watched the prequel Fate Zero (2011 - 2012) and loved it. Have since watched some of the spin off side stories, but wasnโt impressed. Really need to give the original another try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
