Happy Birthday (for whenever you come back on!)

God fucking damn it, i am not ultima

Absolutely, there's nothing quite like getting a taste of other cultures when watching media produced by different countries. The way that I'm watching Dekalog at the moment is by the infamous site Pi***** Bay, haha. Of course I have a VPN going, so all should be fine. The subs are respectable, although they are 12 years old! I doubt Netflix has it, although I haven't checked. On that note however, I have used Netflix before, but I found their catalog to be rather unsubstantial. Mostly a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters and 20th century b-films I noted. Regardless, do tell me what you think of Dekalog if you find a way to watch it that's preferable to you.

Thanks for the compliment! However, I think Adachi needs all the praise since I only witnessed the brilliant writing! Also, speak of the devil Mix was just announced to be adapted... hopefully the adaptation is half-decent *fingers crossed*. Yes hahahaha its a shame that the 'm' and 'k' keys are so close together. I sure hope that speed didn't reach near 160mph; that would've been lethal no matter where it'd hit - glove or otherwise! Yes, I will definitely give Touch a go. In fact, I watched the first 2 minutes of it around a year ago, but I felt suddenly intimidated and I scurried away temporarily. I will give it a proper watch sometime though. Being an identical twin myself, I can see myself relating to the main characters in Touch very strongly. You see, I watched this show called Figure 17: Tsubasa & Hikaru a little while back (have you heard of it?), and it quickly became one of my most adored series I've seen so far. That show also had twins who were so accurately described, that it felt like all the storyboarders involved had a monozygotic twin of their own! It's fascinating how much more rewarding a production can become when you can relate your own life to it.

Great to see that all has been well! I've similarly been enjoying my vacation (spending it back home in Greece, seeing family and all), where I've been watching a decent sum of anime as well as live-action series. Have you heard/seen the tv series from the 1980s called Dekalog? It has garnered quite the cult reputation it seems and for good reason! This might be one of the most down-to-earth, unpretentious and memorably-directed series I think I've ever watched. Highly, highly recommend it if you're ever in a fix for something different. It's Polish, you see, and you can tell that their perspective on life is fascinating to say the least - or at least to me it is!

Indeed I have finished Cross Game... all the way back in January! Hahah. (Time flies huh?) I completed it a few days after my last message to you and I wanted to tell you all about it but you were off; so I didn't want to type to a blank page :D. In fact, I watched the entire series in under a week, since I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. What a special show that was. Kitamura easily entered my top 20 or so favourite characters of all time and the rest of the cast don't lag behind much either! The finale was so incredibly memorable and satisfying as well - I love how we never saw Kitamura get the ball to 160kph, since the speed recorder didn't demonstrate the reading. Just shows that the obvious plot points really didn't matter in that show, and that clearly reflects the traditional Japanese mindset of keeping to yourself. Fantastic stuff.

Hey! Welcome back, it has been a while. How has life been? Have you watched anything interesting media-wise as of late?

I am honestly just a normal person who wasted the gift of being alone. Whatever, I like some things so I will try make the world a bit more tolerable. I lost my friends already lol

Same here. Only just now during this Christmas break (or any other religious holiday in that matter) did I really have the time to wind down and catch up with some anime/movies. It often feels like you can never do enough work for a university; there's just infinite knowledge out there!

In terms of anime btw, as I'm sure you've noticed, I'm currently going through my first watch of Cross Game; and what a watch! I understand why you hold it in such high regard. It is such an endearing and elegantly produced series that you don't get to see in this medium. Kou, in particular, is so cunning and loveable to me, so Cross Game's been a really easy watch. Can't wait to see more!

Hahah, no worries. It's great to see that you came back on. Hope all's well!

Mr. I don't use Mal anymore

Wow your alive

Glad to bring some joy to another human being ^^

Happy belated birthday, Lonecub!

Happy Birthday!
