I've never heard of Seirei no Moribito, crazy because it seemed fairly popular, enough to make it onto Adult Swim for a minute and get its novels published by Scholastic of all things. I must've missed it being hyperfocused on all the other stuff I was consuming during those years. I'm not super into the historical far-east stuff but I'll give it a try.
Gay stuff in anime/manga doesn't bother me, I know some people aren't into it. The only time it does is when I'm reading something kinda old and it's just magical gay conversion therapy by the end, or not at all how a relationship works period. I read Banana Bread no Pudding a little while ago because I was on a 24-Gumi kick, and although I can enjoy products of their time and suspend disbelief, this was just one hot mess of "this is how I think this works, I don't actually know anymore beyond a short summary".
That short was awesome. When I still had the patience to write and draw, that's 100% how I'd write.
Apologies, I'm not super into sci-fi and when I do watch something in the category it's usually not the space-y kind.
Mu and Proxies both have powers, supercomputers and the Bureaus both pushing propaganda, the artificial creation of children, and an uninhabitable Earth that humans want to return to. This is just me going off the summary, though.
Hmm... now that I've typed that all out they're kinda just generic sci-fi plots.
I've heard good things about Terra e... over the years, I'll look into that one too. Some of the plot points I'm reading now remind me of ones in Ergo Proxy, they must've taken inspiration or it's just a coincidence.
More with some spring stuff, we have outdoor volleyball season open already, and I'm much into it. Plus, lots of stuff is happening in Russia atm, so I had been stuck there for a while - some call it a job, I call it pleasure, haha.
Oh, wanted to ask you: do you collect any anime stuff? I think I'll be in Asia next month, no promises, but there must be short flights to jp, so I maybe make a visit. Anyway, you have a month to think about it - my tickets to Shanghai are April 15 or like that. So, if there is something you want from jp, just let me know - if I stumble upon it, you'll get it.
Update: Just finished Moyashimon, it's better than it looked like initially. Enjoyed some playful moments a lot, would be nice if they made it a little more spicy.
Hi, Moyashimon is ok (not top-notch maybe, but 7+ easily), I just can't find time for it yet. Funny enough, I have a girlfriend who graduated agriculture, and her stories are so similar that I think what they showcase in Moyashimon is a real thing mostly lol.
Lol, Gsar! I've actually read that full rant, since I find his takes highly amusing. We could have a LONG conversation on the merits of Angel Cop, how effectively it delivered its message, the likelihood of the role of American Jews in the Japanese financial crisis of 1990, etc. However, our world views are different enough that I'm not sure how productive it would be. I'm always open to dialogue, but some users I'm a little less likely to reach out to. Gsar and I are two of the most prolific critics on the site, both have autism, and share a fondness for classical film and literature. However, despite us talking on a few occasions, we've never been exactly "friendly". Not that we're shonen archrivals, just that neither one views the other in a particularly positive light.
Looks cool and cute. Maybe it will be the next thing to watch actually, not in a mood for serious stuff anyway. It's funny how the cover picture alone sometimes sells better than MAL score, synopsis etc.
Are you watching Apothecary Diaries s2 btw? We are rewatching s1 here, and I wonder if s2 will be joy or disappointment.
I've never tried, to be honest, haha. I added something to broaden my horizons, but again, when will I actually get around to it? Anyway, now I have two!
Hi! No, I didn't know that - probably added it to my p2w following some random recommendation, as usual, haha. Is it worth watching?
By the way, thanks for suggesting Noein! It was fantastic. I've been slacking on anime in general lately, but that series kept me hooked all the way to the end.
I know what cyberbullying is, I'm concerned about how you singled me out, and I find that ironic you would go after me like that just for having a friendly conversation. I guess you would side and approved with a MAL user who wrote this on my profile comment in December:
i dont give a fuck, you little bitch, i have already wasted enough time in you pathetic retard, man the fuck up and learn to live knowing others may not care about your sensibilities.
Yes, he wrote that on my profile comment and the reason you can't see it is because either that user deleted it or the moderator did that (I don't know who deleted his offensive comment toward me). If you want to know what cause that guy to downright call me a "little bitch" and a "pathetic retard", it all started with this on a thread. Don't you tell/lecture me on how I don't know what cyberbullying is since I've experienced it myself.
Oh, and before you think about siding and giving him a high 5 for calling me that, I just want to let you know he also insulted mangaka that worked on US comics like Yoshitaka Amano, Katsuhiro Otomo, Shotaro Ishinomori, and Go Nagai when I brought this up when he was attacking OEL manga.
