    Relationships and Romance

    I might not be the best person to give advice, but there's one point I do want to address. Looking for "the kind of people you actually like spending time with" might not be the best option. Instead you should aim for "people you like spending time with", if you focus too much on a specific...

    What manga are you reading now?

    Physical Golden Sheep vol 2-3 (complete) As much as I enjoyed it, it felt like something was missing that could raise it from good to great. It has some nice concepts, but the execution is a bit too straightforward or something. I had the same feeling with "The Gods Lie." but to a lesser extent...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    I also have these in my collections and absolutely love them. The box art is so simple and clean. Do you also have the extras that came with it? I used to have the Dango plushes displayed on the same shelves as the boxes. But as my collection grew, I had to use the space more efficiently, so now...

    General Politics Thread

    Is it really? Normally people fear the unknown and the risk of things going wrong/out of control. At least that's what seems to be the main reason for objections to things like GMO, AI or virology. But with genetic research, being it chimeras or eugenics in general, a whole array of different...

    Anime name

    So an overpowered MC, a powerful being and a witch dressed in purple. The MC ends up staying with the witch and the powerful being keeps casting petty(?) curses on the witch. This powerful being was also the witches former trainer/master(?) I'm afraid it doesn't ring a bell, but there's also...

    Anime diseases

    Just wanted to clarify that it's not that I dislike Angel Beats. I did actually like it and would recommend it to others (whereas Charlotte and Day I Became a God... not so much). It's just that on the front of being tearjerkers, it seems to go the easy route. As @Neil.T pointed out there are...

    Anime diseases

    I personally really like his earlier works (Air, Kanon and Clannad) and would definitely recommend trying them out. Honestly it's painful to see a downward trend with his more recent works Angel Beats, Charlotte and The Day I Became a God. They all could use more episodes to flesh things out...

    In Memoriam: When DVDs become coasters

    It's always sad to realise that nothing lasts. While I think that emulation will be the future for (old) console games, I'm not so sure that it's a given this will survive. For all we know there will be a shift to ARM, at which point we might need to emulate the emulators. And a few years later...

    Anime diseases

    In general I think the older the show the more likely it becomes people haven't seen it. There always seems to be a bit of a sweet spot of "older" shows that most people have seen. But this is ever changing and even then, there will always be people who haven't seen them yet and don't want to be...

    Anime diseases

    Ah, the dreaded Morbus Fatalis Generalis. Too many lives are lost to it every season. Symptoms come and go and there is no known cure. During remissions patients can often live their life as normal, which makes it a great opportunity to still make some memories. Though recent studies suggest...

    Fan service and its appropriateness

    As much as I liked Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, I also couldn't stand any scene focussing on Kanna (or Lucoa for that matter). Sadly that almost made up half of the show. Although to be precise, I didn't really mind Kanna as character when she acted as a kid (e.g. buying school supplies or...

    Fan service and its appropriateness

    Fascinating discussion going on. I'm always positively surprised how, no matter the subject matter, discussions remain civil here. I don't often chip in, because I'm not too confident in my English when trying to express my views. But I'll give it a shot. I personally think that for fictional...

    UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

    I've watched it in both s1 broadcast order and chronological order and don't have a clear preference. I do think the s1 broadcast order has a better build-up, but I can enjoy both. I've also never skipped any episode of the Endless Eight. While I understand that people would want to skip parts...

    Satoshi Kon in 4 days (ad-hoc simulwatch optional)

    Millennium Actress First time watching this and what a great movie! I have to admit that I found large portions of it quite predictable, but the way it was presented fully made up for it. In essence it's a pretty simple story, but the added layers of presenting it as an interview and...

    Certification Discussion (Formerly Paranoia Agent Uncut UK Release Confirmation)

    I think it makes perfect sense that any trailer shown should not exceed the age rating of the film it precedes. Not sure how it works in the UK, but don't trailers have their own age rating? Quite often trailers get a lower classification than their main work. As for the other examples, I'm not...

    Satoshi Kon in 4 days (ad-hoc simulwatch optional)

    I found it interesting, but not particularly great. I'm never too found of works where the artist depicts a main character of the same craft, so that didn't help. It does play with blurring the line between fiction and reality, but not really to the extent you'd hope. The story however was...
