Ciraxis Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Geeez...sometimes I have an impression I am an the last mecha anime fan here. Not that there is anything wrong with the series presented. They awesome. It's just .... Link to comment
Rosewind Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I'm not big on mecha myself, though I'm really digging Darling in the Franxx. So I'm thinking of watching Steven Universe. My experience with it is the "stronger than you" song and that's it. I wanna see what all the hoopla is about, I guess. Good idea? Link to comment

But imo the first few eps aren’t that great. Heck the’re down right bad. Early Steven is super annoying and un-likeable but the gems more than make up for it. So be prepared for that. The episode that sold me on the series is episode 35 ( I think, it’s called ‘lion 3’ or something), so if you’re ever struggling to see what’s so great about the show, skip to that ep and see how you feel about it. It is a great show that is worth your time and has some fantastic episodes. One gripe is that there is a lot of it is slice of life filler between the good episodes. It’s not that those eps are bad, but the ones that focus on the over arching story are so much better. 1 Link to comment

Rocky Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Zoids brings back so many memories. I used to watch it before I even knew what anime was. Even bought the toys! I used to love the Rev Raptor. I'm 22 episodes into Kill La Kill and wow, this really had quite the plot twist. Link to comment

Rosewind Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Spring anime season is around the corner! Excitement! What're you looking forward to? My picks are Steins; Gate 0, Tokyo Ghoul:re, FLCL Progressive (!) Looks interesting: Golden Kamuy, Devil's Line. There are probably some hidden gems that look terrible in idea, but actually work well and become outliers of the season because of great execution. You'll start to notice this kind of emergence, Rocky, as different anime seasons come out and introduce new series to the fore. If I ever find a boyfriend, the prerequisites: must like spicy and anime. Link to comment

Rosewind Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'm liking Steven Universe so far, even the early episodes. I'm going in completely blind outside of the whole "Stronger Than You" thing and a very middling knowledge of the characters. It's made me laugh out loud a few times. I'm starting to see a wisp of what the hype is about. New Darling in the Franxx today! Excitement! Cons're fun, but terrible places to make lasting, local friendships. Everyone seems to be from somewhere else, and I'm done with LDRs. Link to comment

It really was an interesting year (give or take).. Link to comment
Rosewind Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I knew my ex-husband online for 12 years. I told him many times I wasn't interested in a LDR, but he was persistent. When we met up it was really fun and everything seemed great. It was hard but we resigned to make things work. He visited here a few times and we had a lot of fun. Then, last year I went to visit his house (with 5 months notice!) and that was when things crashed. His sister lives there and can't adult, and both he and her are hoarders. Even with all the notice, the most they could clear in the piles of useless junk was a space in the living room and a little space in the kitchen. The fridge/pantry were full of expired food. Their Dad owns the house and stores all of his stuff there too. The expectation was that I would move out there. Dunno why, but I wanted to keep faith, with the expectation all that would change since he wanted me to move in there, and he refused to find another location for us to live together or to live out here with me without his immediate family being up in our business. Things slowly degraded from there when I saw no action at all to create a livable space for us (or better income on his end; I was working 70 hour weeks at the time to save for goals and pay medical bills while he worked his minimum wage part time job), and we divorced 8 months later. We still chat, but it's a mere shadow of a relationship, and I guess my rose-colored glasses're off. But...I'm a wiser woman! I know what I want. I know a red flag when I see one. I'll never get emotionally struck like that again, especially if it involves my personal welfare. Anyway, don't mean to be a downer here, but the lesson I'm presenting here is a stark one: don't involve yourself with someone expecting they will change for you, if they won't change for themselves. You get the whole package as-is. How is Seven Deadly Sins coming along? I had Rocky detour to FLCL and he seemed polarized by it. It's good, because it's a polarizing kind of story. 1 Link to comment

You get the whole package as-is. It's funny you say that. I recently broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years (obviously not a LDR) for many reasons that I won't go into detail on. The thing I want to point out is that she was crazy about me from the second we met. I think she was so crazy about me, she wanted to change herself to be more appealing to me, and she did try. I'm Christian, and I think she started believing in the stuff I do just for me (I'm not 100% sure about that but, I'm lead to believe so). While I do think the fact she respected my beliefs to that point is flattering in a way, I think it was also a mistake. I could tell this even more when, knowing my beliefs, she wanted to do things that I didn't and started trying to find excuses as to why ours was an exception. I'm not sure why I felt like putting this out there for all you guys to read but, I just felt like sharing how this now-ended relationship taught me a lot about people. At the end of it, I realized I didn't actually love her. I don't hate her, of course. I learned that some people will try to change themselves for you if they want to be with you and I found that beneath every way she changed herself, she was still a person I, at the very base of it all, didn't really want to be with no matter how much I tried to look past it. Mind you, this was only part of the reason I broke up with her. I wish it didn't take me 3 years to realize this, let alone about 6 months to find the courage to break up. I actually quite enjoy being single, honestly. Haven't this free in 3 years haha. I can finally really focus on my goals and passions without the obligations I had before. Basically, I've learned changing for someone can only work for so long. Eventually, the real you is going to shine through all of the masks you've put on for them. I'm not saying it's impossible for people to change but, if it's something as drastic as say, religion... Ugh. If you've been believing in something all your life but you meet and start to like someone who's beliefs are very different.. Just be yourself. Having different beliefs isn't necessarily (and honestly shouldn't be) a deal breaker. I think it's better to let the person know what kind of person YOU are very early on in a relationship before you get too close to them and the breakup is harder, should it lead to that. Uuuuggghhhh what am I even talking about? It's not like anyone asked.. On a lighter note, I haven't started Seven Deadly Sins just yet. I will very soon, though! 1 Link to comment
