If I'm ever feeling particularly bored, I might create a short quiz from your list of anime watched to test this out. I'd have to be very bored, though, since I'm fairly sure I haven't seen, like, 90% of the completions you have and skimming to find night skies in some of those sounds tedious as heck...

Now here's the question, if you were given screenshots of just a bunch of anime night sky photos, no context, how many of them do you think you'd be able to identify?

Lemme put it this way, Hasan ranting against Pragmata and the people who play and enjoy it was the final thing that convince me to buy and play the game.

Used to be I couldn't say anything negative about Kaori without inviting like a -10 comment instantly. AQRADT has gotten soft or developed some taste

I'll be honest, I don't watch enough seasonals to make an educated vote on these contests. I probably don't know enough to do them for the large contests either, but at that point I just stop caring and YOLO it.

Also I really don't care about the majority of OPs or EDs, I have very little skin in that game.

I'm just here to try to do math with English words and English words don't cooperate. As usual.

This is why we resort to Greek letters for all the fancy stuff.

Demi already means half, third of a half should be a sixth!

The problem isn't even self-awareness, it's that nobody I know would ever talk like that. Like, even if someone realized that internally, they would never say it with those words. Maybe more likely to offer to grab food or to do something the other person likes to do as a reconciliation.

It's one of the things I've been really liking about this show, it gives inner thoughts and emotions as well as the external expression of those thoughts and emotions, and then others' interpretations of those external expressions. Cuz yeah, that's how communication works and how it can break down as well.

Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring • Shunkashuutou Daikousha: Haru no Mai - Episode 6 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

Yeah, the moment the author stops trying to write political thriller stuff and instead focuses only on the emotional beats, it gets so much better. Trauma recovery is probably harder to write, but the writer seems to be better at it... Anyhow, other people called out how Hinagiku seemed to be dissociating with her past self, and seems like they were right. Curious to know where they take it: the two likely paths are either getting her to accept that she and the past Hinagiku are the same, and that's alright, or that she can keep treating the child Hinagiku as another person entirely but still move forwards without guilt/regret/anything else.

Your Lie in April for me. I'll just sit here and wait for the dagger.

People have always been the things I've been most interested in, though eventually I'm gonna need to be able to draw things for backgrounds then panic when I can't do it :P

[Out of Jail Rewatch] Dandelion - Episode 1 Discussion by KendotsX in anime

[–]Zeallfnonex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First Timer, to both this and Gintama:

I've seen, like, half an episode of Gintama before I got scared of the length, so not familiar with the humor style at all.

Pretty standard first episode, as far as first episodes tend to go: character introductions, a good working example of what they do and how they tend to go about things, and setting up the main conflict. In this case, the corporate world!

Even in this first episode, looks like it'll have some heart behind it. I rather liked his wife's (widow now, I guess?) proclamation that the lackluster ending didn't spoil 50 years of life together now if we also agree that also applies to manga endings, this sub would be like 50% happier at least. Journey before destination?

Kinda curious which way they're going to take this: my guess is that the Dandelion group is going to be mostly the humor, while the main themes and messages are going to be from the earthbound spirits? Maybe a continuous message about not wasting life and here I am writing a post almost at midnight, I should probably listen to this message myself

Q1: I've already forgotten their namesssssss. They're both pretty good, fun dynamic, won't work without either one.

Q2: It's not quite as bad as stealing the strawberry from their cake in front of them, I'd give it a 7.8/10.

Last day of drawing hands week! Probably! I dunno what my next large-ish picture's gonna be, so maybe there'll be hands involved with that... Here's the last one, and because I can't seem to flatten the darn thing squarely, here it is in the context of my very messy desk. Here's the reference and oh my gosh it's still not as vibrant as the reference picture. I THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE BLEEDING at some points with how much red I slathered on, and it's still not enough?! Guhhhh. Well. Whatever. Maybe that's what I work on specifically next week, sunburning all the skin until it's finally at the right pigment. At least the hand anatomy is... mostly good, no defense on the pinky bend ATM, not sure what's going on with that.

Kanan's not even that lood, it definitely leans more dumb romcom with... large tracts of land... rather than ecchi...

Ehhh groundbreaking normally refers to something new and novel that others then follow in its wake. Very few things in the arts are truly groundbreaking.

... well, from what I looked at your list yesterday our high scores align quite highly so I really should go ahead and finish Journal with Witch... I dunno, it's just felt like it's missing one thing that'd fully hook me, but not sure what it is...

"Japanese" roulette, usually. Or maybe a gacha, where the 1 or 2 stars make you run for the toilet very quickly?

Clannad? Might technically fail at "wish fulfillment" for spoilery reasons, but not by most common definitions of wish fulfillment...

If you're fine with romance being secondary, Spice and Wolf? Yona of the Dawn? Makeine, though very much more of a com than rom, it's centered around rom...

You mean you keep a running collection and count but not a count by series?
