I'll be honest, if I could I would really consider moving to Japan for a couple months and live in a share house or something. Just to put some miles on my soul and experience something new. But I'm completely tied down now.
I'm loving Rising of the Shield Hero, so I recommend that. It's hard to believe that Date A Live has another season airing, I remember back in the day when I first got back into anime that Date A Live was one of the first shows I watched while it was airing. A lot has changed since then, but Date A Live has this sort of comfy feel to it because it reminds me of easier times.
It's nice to hear you graduated. I dropped college for the sake of moving. It's nice to be independent though.
I stumbled by here when I was in another profile. Hope you do not mind chatting
So how are you?
I'm basically watching everything you're watching. It's been a fairly fun season so far. The real stand out has been My Hero Academia season 2.
Yes, I'm a big fan of Konosuba. It's such a great show.
As for manga, it's kind of been put on the back burner. I do have a few series I follow closely like Prison School, My Hero Academia, Monster Musume. I need to finish Akame ga Kill and Sekirei though. Speaking of Sekirei is getting a sequel manga, that has me really excited.
I've been going to college on and off for the past 2 years now. I've come to learn it's practically useless, especially the degree that I'm pursuing. But I've only got about 5 classes left until I can get it. But that requires money, which I just don't ever seem to have enough of.
I'm glad I mellowed out though. Too much to watch and worry about. 3-5 is about the range I'd like to hit, unless of course there's a sudden increase in interesting shows. This season was less than compelling for me, so we'll see how the next goes.
I am however, on an anime buying kick right now. So many different series I'd like to own, or special editions I'd like to buy. Funimation is really killing it lately.
Personally I've backed off of college and I'm more worried about working than anything else. But at least it sounds like you're enjoying college.
Yep, still as active as always. I wish Raku had ended up with Onodera, because we all know that only Chitoge and Onodera were the only real love interests. But as I predicted, Chitoge came out with the victory. She was the cover girl and she won in the original one-shot chapter of Nisekoi too. The past few seasons I've been watching 15+ shows. I finally cooled it with this season, only watching about 5 shows. What I'd really like to do is start digging into my backlog and working my way through that.
Yeah I've watched everything you mentioned, GATE is especially good.
Speaking of SnO, I'm planning to buy the second season from Funimation within the next day or so, they're having a sale of pervy school titles.
How are you enjoying college?
E3 was pretty good. I think Xbox outclassed everyone. I too have an Xbox One, so I'm looking forward to the holiday season.

I had to mark who was streaming what so I could remember.
Well, that's all you really can do. Thinking positive and having the mindset that things will work out in the end is the best thing you can do. I know that's definitely easier said than done, because I can hardly ever keep that kind of mindset myself.
Did you watch E3? See anything you liked or are looking forward to? Star Fox Zero is looking good, and Fire Emblem got an English Dubbed trailer. Microsoft had a really great conference. Really looking forward to a lot of the games they showed.
I'm thinking about applying for a second job at RightStuf. They're one of the biggest anime distributors in America, and they're only 15 minutes away from my house! If I get that job, I'll probably finally move out of my mom's house and get an apartment. But between one job, martial arts lessons, improv lessons, and 2 summer classes, I hardly have any time for anime or manga. My plate is pretty full.
Martial arts is fun for the most part. Of course since I haven't worked out in years, I sustained a groin injury the first week of practice. It was really hard to kick, but it finally healed over this weekend.
You probably need a degree in the respective fields for each position, plus intern hours and even previous experience at a different company. Unfortunately that's how the world works, so you'll need to check all of those off before a professional company will hire you. But it seems to me a college degree is a must.
I'll be doing all that, and I'll be taking one class. I have a few more semesters to go before I get my two year degree. I just want it to get it done and over with. I think taking Liberal Arts was a mistake, and I should've just went into a specific field. But it's too late for that, might as well finish. But I'll just be saving money, working, some school, and anime and manga.
Speaking of classes, I actually just signed up for a martial arts class a few days ago. I'll be starting that Tuesday. I'm pretty excited because it's a good workout and it's great to learn self-defense. I did it for a few years as a kid, but I don't remember any of it.
Yeah I know what you mean. I think it boils down to practice. When you get different jobs, and then go to college, you'll be getting some practice.
There's a number of things that someone could do for those companies, besides dubbing, there's video and audio editing, script writing, directing, and so on. Honestly, I'd like to dabble in all of it myself. My dream is to go to places like Funimation and Sentai, start off as a voice actor, then have them offer me more positions like writing and directing. I would love to be totally immersed in the industry. Then go to conventions around the country and meet new people.
