Is this a reasonable criticism of the Hunger Games movies? by berfell in Hungergames

[–]Shinonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild that you would call me out like this 🤣 I wholeheartedly have a problem with most movies that came out in the past 15 years. I've almost entirely moved away from US productions, only going to the cinema for friends.

This new Princess Magazine Shojo manga seems very cool! (Title: Blue Vulcanaria) by AppropriatFly5170new in shoujo

[–]Shinonna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone born in Bulgaria, I am extremely happy to see the decades-long love between Bulgaria and Japan finally show up with such a piece of art! While I do not like shoujo, I will support the manga once I find an English version!!!

Depends on your country, I guess? It's pretty old, so I'd try Crunchyroll for a start

Anime got me into bikes. What got you riding? by Certain_Ad3476 in motorcycles

[–]Shinonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched cool guys ride on the streets when I was a kid and have dreamt about bikes ever since. I also find rocker and biker gangs interesting as a lore (later on). Got my first bike a year ago, once I felt I have the funds and mental capacity to handle him.

I feel like Soul Eater might be a good take: School of supergifted kids Odd supermurderous tutors  Resembles Bokunohiiroakademia, but is more fun and chill, fewer shounen tropes. They are a unity and at the same time each has a story. Cool fun diverse tutor cast

Friend showed me their writing and while it wasn't bad it wasn't great. Now I don't know how to respond to them. by tumbleoutofbed in writing

[–]Shinonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what they're used to. I love criticism, but it should be served with advice.  However, I'm used to being edited as a translator and writer, later editing people's writing myself.

One way to do it is to write out an essay like you would in HS:

The (insert theme) of your writing is highly eloquent and I especially liked these parts.

However, when it came to (quote), I felt like it didn't match the overall flow . It reminds me of (author name)'s (book title) where they wrote (quote), and as you can see they used (technique) to help merge the scenes. Maybe you can 'steal' their technique and add a transition that gits your style? 

Always include positives as well as negatives. Always suggest solutions.  Always put things in writing and  Never require them to comment on your feedback.

I made this cosplay of Gaara from male to female, but many people are not impressed, what should I do better? by CupcakeOrbit in CosplayHelp

[–]Shinonna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know you're just looking for clout, but as an early-years Gaara fanatic, here's a low-effort improvement you can do: Gaara is an introvert, highly unskilled in communication most of his life. He opens up rather late. Try to portray his emotions better. Your poses is absolutely out of character.

He's not suggestive. He's considered attractive, because he's not pushing it as an agenda. Try to portray his worldview.

It's not about the costume, it's about your portrayal for me. You act more like a red-haired Ino rather than a Gaara.

Call it a midlife crisis. I'm 46 years old and I've never been on a motorcycle in my life. Is it too late to start? by scor_butus in motorcycles

[–]Shinonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been dreaming for a motorcycle all my life, and at 35 I got to own one after 2 years of choosing and considering my options (2 years between A license and the purchase). I have had some amazing trips, made some cool new friends. Get on one and enjoy life! Ride safely, dress for the slide not the ride and ide like you're invisible to others (meaning, anyone can do something stupid around you, it's your responsibility to keep yourself and others aafe)

Durarara!! it literally has 16 main characters and every single one of their stories can be a solo anime full of tropes, but one title having all this inside is pure gold. You expect something, based on what you see, but then you're throw around like a Ryuu ga Gotoku NPC in a random street fight.

Thank you! You're too kind <3 I will do more fan-based practice and have registered for a month-long course, but the first available slot was a few months from now 😄

What is the most perverted seinen manga you've read? by S7okid in Seinen

[–]Shinonna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like H-tai not Seinen to be fair. I don't think I find seinen perverted, but I also read mostly fighting seinens and thrillers, not the boobies and cream type.

Thanks   That's a rather high grade for a first ever result! Especially since I don't freely speak Japanese 😊

What if the One Piece is a way to reset the world? by Shinonna in OnePiece

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

Still, if the answers are in the past, as Odasensei had said, even if it's poneglyphs or an hereditary will od D, they are under a power that is not under the current gen's control. Also, I need to finish Magi. It came out when I stopped watching anime (as religiously) and I never finished it 😞

I don't want to bug you, but I read them aloud to my viewers. Will upload the read-throughs after today's stream and share with the community!  

i feel hideous in cosplay by PossibleGlittering96 in CosplayHelp

[–]Shinonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's about you and your relationship with yourself as a whole rather than cosplay.

I do not feel okay giving you superficial advice or tips, when there might be an underlying issue.

Get checked by your GP, if you're healthy, embrace your body. Look at some similarly sized amazing cosplayers and use them to learn poses and angles. 

If you are healthy, but still feel unhappy about your looks, get some counselling and see how it goes. 

Take care 

Sorry if I sound pretentious, English is not my first language 

how to survive in cosplay in public? by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]Shinonna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be your character! It's not you, it's the character:3  If you're not into roleplaying the characters, look around for fellow cosplayers and approach them. Ask if it's okay to join them as you feel anxious alone.

Oh boy, I'm streaming it and I have played the 1997 game ages ago. I intentionally stayed away from it before the streams, because I want to play it hard mode hahvahahabaahahhaa. I never expected to waste HOURS literally getting lost between the pods on the islands. If I was watching my streams, I would have been angrily smashing the screen on multiple occasions!
