Diogenes Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hey, you there, on the other side of the screen! Mandatory Jojo meme aside, I am here because of the infinite boredom brought by the current lockdown measures. There is no discussing anime with my friends when I can't meet them... oh, and also none of my friends like anime or Japanese stuff in the first place, so actually, there is no discussing it at any time. So I thought I might as well use the spare time to give this forum a shot. Be gentle with me! All my preferences (ehem... the ones I'm comfortable with sharing) are fully documented on my MAL: https://myanimelist.net/profile/LordPoint 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion of Terra Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Hi there! is Diogenese a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? Otherwise that is an unusual choice of username also what are those 'friends' you are talking about? never heard of such a thing Edited April 18, 2020 by Illusion of Terra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diogenes Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Oh, I wish he was, that would be epic! But alas, he was just a savage Greek philosopher who I respect, whose name happens to be a Jojo reference - it's 2 birds with 1 stone, if you ask me! You've got quite interesting username yourself, Illusion of Terra - where's that from? Haha - I use that term fairly deliberately. Just imagine people you have to interact with on daily basis I live in a world of normies, so that thing is kinda unavoidable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion of Terra Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) yeah, I am familiar with the barrel-dweller Diogenese, that's why I thought it was an unusual choice my username is just a mix of different things and not from anything particular. I didn't know about that Jojo reference though. then again there are so many Jojo references interact with people on a daily basis? now you are making even less sense Edited April 18, 2020 by Illusion of Terra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diogenes Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 My boi Dio(genes) has some sick quotes, and it's the best I could come with it, so give me a break Lol - worry not, no need to deal with such complicated concepts these days! Onto the online community from the safety of one's room! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyxnine Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Lol I'm enjoying this banter. Welcome to AF! It IS pretty active for unfortunate reasons (I think) but, a good time to rummage through feeds and make some new friends. I know how it feels to have friends who don't have similar interests with everything you enjoy...but at least there are platforms such as these People here are pretty friendly so don't worry about being shy ^^v And pleaseee liking anime makes me not a normy? Is anyone even normal? Now you have to define normal hahaha Be safe Edited April 18, 2020 by Nyxnine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Dio so badass even troll kings like Vanir be copying him Honestly I didn’t get that far into Jojo beyond the original story arc, but could see myself revisiting it someday. I generally prefer shorter series. Anyway, hope you enjoy it here 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diogenes Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Indeed, so far I'm enjoying myself here Thanks Nyxnine! Well, each coin has two sides I guess. I haven't tried making friends online since I was a child, so let's see how it goes! But no need to worry about me, shyness is not one of my virtues. Your laughing, but you can define normal, or normie, very easily! In fact, there is a wikipedia page for it (as there is for everything) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/normie And I just can't bring myself to enjoy what is commonly enjoyed by masses. Please don't call me a hipster though Good one Rak! I mean... Ohiotaku! (love your profile picture) I swear, one can find Jojo references in almost every anime Most definitely recommend revisiting the series - Jojo is life. Though I liked the first 2-3 the most. Thanks for welcoming me! Edited April 18, 2020 by Diogenes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall try to refrain I used to use forums a lot back when I was in junior high, was in the same boat as you are now I'm sure you will find it interesting now with a more mature perspective. Although, I could be wrong hahaha. Have fun ^_^- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusion of Terra Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) @Diogenes yeah definitely agree there that the original Diogenes at least was neither normal nor a normie Also since you still have a rather neutral view when it comes to the people here, vote in the latest contest, if you want that is https://animeforums.net/topic/11535-community-voting-reverse-isekai-art-contest/ Edited April 18, 2020 by Illusion of Terra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diogenes Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) @Nyxnine You're right, that's actually a great point! I remember looking up to the "old" people in chats and forums when I was about junior high school age - I thought their knowledge and composure were cool. I guess it's time to be cool myself Although, I am more of a goofy type, so not sure how successful that will be @Illusion of Terra Exactly! Oh, an art contest - splendid! Do you hold these here often, or did I just get lucky? Also, consider my vote placed. Edited April 18, 2020 by Diogenes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being yourself is probably why you thought the others were cool hahaha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
