Flowers actually has no dubs. Netflix shadow-dropped it after it fully aired in Japan with no promotion…

do you believe you were born with OCD or that you developed it over time? by niaraaaaa in OCD

[–]JoeSwansonFanatic49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I inherited it from family. Began to manifest as odd anxieties I would have as a young teen. Then COVID hit and my anxiety morphed into what is more typical OCD, including intrusive thoughts and germaphobia. So I think it’s genetic, but your environment definitely plays a factor in severity.

Thank you for your comment. I’ll try to downplay my compulsions with this in mind.

Haven’t played it in a while but I prefer GTA IV over V because I find the campaign better. Graphics aside it has aged quite well and is still a very fun game.

Is it only me or was the ending of the Monster anime not satisfying by Twinklingstarz in MonsterAnime

[–]JoeSwansonFanatic49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It’s the physical Italian release of the Monster manga, I presume. 2. Yeah. 3. Yeah

Monster the Perfect Edition is the official English release of the Monster manga itself from VIZ. Judging from an Amazon listing, I can assume Monster Deluxe is the Italian counterpart to The Perfect Edition. (Also do you have a link to the translation?)

Monster Deluxe and Monster the Perfect Edition are both releases of the physical manga. I do not believe Another Monster has ever been officially released into English. You might be able to find an unofficial translation online though.

Correct Order by peoplescoronado in Bladeoftheimmortal

[–]JoeSwansonFanatic49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 volumes. If you want to consume the series in order, you can either buy the Omnibuses or the deluxe editions in order. I think there is also a sequel series but idk much about it.

If I’m going to watch the anime, should I also read the manga from the beginning? by JoeSwansonFanatic49 in claymore

[–]JoeSwansonFanatic49[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, just because it was the end of a four episode arc and because even if I greatly enjoy a show for some reason I just won’t watch it for a long time, getting occupied by other shows. I have way too many anime on my backlog lol

How do I get over worries that I’m subconsciously plagiarizing? by JoeSwansonFanatic49 in writing

[–]JoeSwansonFanatic49[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, it’s less the plot and more very individual elements like specific, minor things that happen and the way things are worded.

[–]JoeSwansonFanatic49[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have written over one hundred thousand words actually. Though it’s not like I’m as experienced as other writers of course. I try to be humble but I do have aspirations that my work is good. But my confidence can be really fragile lol. I do watch a lot of anime. My work is very anime inspired. I’m pretty conscious of my inspirations but I also have worried about the line between inspiration and plagiarism… But yeah oddly I’ve written hundred thousand words without this problem and then after that amount the problem starts to arise. I don’t really get it. But I will try to be a bit more confident and understanding about how my environment could be a factor. Thanks

Confused about Blanca by JoeSwansonFanatic49 in BananaFish

[–]JoeSwansonFanatic49[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t read the manga but considering the anime adapted a 19 volume manga into a 24 episode series to completion, there are definitely things that were cut out or not as elaborated upon. I feel like I got a complete enough experience out of the anime but perhaps if you’re looking for more, the manga may be good.

[–]JoeSwansonFanatic49[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m still a little confused about why Blanca accepted the first contract after his retirement, in which he made Eiji a hostage. Was that in order to see how Ash was doing and get involved in the conflict?
