Some random facts about me as a thanks for managing to read this far:
I graduated as a salutatorian in an exclusive high school for boys. Anime was honestly one of my greatest motivators in pursuing this ambitious goal. Helped get rid of the stress, and some characters surprisingly motivated me to work harder in my studies. :)
Best subjects are Math, Science, and English (I know, I'm a monster)
I've been watching anime since I was 12 years old. That's a total of 6 years. My favorite anime and their corresponding reasons in order:
#1 Clannad Series
It wouldn't really be an exaggeration to say that I wouldn't be the person I am right now if I hadn't watched this in my first year of getting into anime. Life was getting slightly dull, and I was about to stop watching anime a little after my friend introduced me to it. Then, I watched this, and my heart changed, my mindset changed, and my attitude progressively became better.
It's been 6 years since I've watched this masterpiece; I'll probably rewatch it again sometime soon. This is the anime that started all of me. :)
#2 Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
Shigatsu does a perfect job in integrating music as a theme to accentuate the feels and the impact this anime brings. The elements of comedy, drama, and romance really struck me even until now. This show also motivated me to start playing the piano again, and it has become my pastime this summer.
#3 Hunter x Hunter (2011)
I rarely watch 100-episode series, but I gave this one a shot. This one brought a very strong impact to me. The whole series was entertaining, but what made this top three in my favorite anime was the fourth arc. I won't mention any spoilers, but the end of that arc was one of the few moments when I truly cried my heart out.
#4 Kuroko no Basket Series
This was the first anime my older bro (I managed to hook him to the anime world as well, hehe) and I went completely in sync since our favorite sport is basketball. It brought a spice to our athletic side of life, and we would play one-on-ones shouting "Akashi!" and "Kagami!". This show also gave me a more colorful demeanor when I play basketball.
#5 Haikyuu!! Series
This anime sparked an interest in me to try volleyball. Actually, when we had volleyball as our last sport in PE, I was also watching this at the same time. I was always mediocre and indifferent when it came to volleyball, but this one changed my whole view for the sport. I teamed up with my circle of friends, and we played our hearts out, but we lost five times and only won one, haha! But it was fun, it was all worth it. :)

That's good, maybe someday then. Really wanna visit Italy, and backpack around England or something. Maybe go someplace warm also, I haven't been out of Canada yet lol xD
Yeah but it fit the anime sooo well. Been craving a good romance to watch recently, gonna have to choose something out of PTW soon I guess. Clannad has an amazing OST, so many feels just listening to it. They did a great job using it.
Uggh a all boys school, I couldn't do that lol. I don't think splitting people up according to gender helps your studying or anything like that. Just ruins conversations skills with the opposite gender, kinda like being home schooled.
Episodic stuff isn't bad, it really works if your a 1 ep a day kinda guy (or you watch while airing). But I think it should stay strictly too the comedy/SOL genre. Anything with action should have a proper story with progression (not saying everything episodic doesn't have progression lol).
Didn't really like the romance, the whole supernatural stuff kinda sucked. Not my cup of tea either
Haah np, there's probably a ton more then. I made sure to add pretty much everything when I joined MAL (there's OVA's and specials still missing though). Might be worth to just scan around and see if there titles that you've watched before on the "most popular" and "top rated" lists on MAL.
I'll take a look, I think I'm a little late for any input tho xD
Looks great! Might try to add a bit more color/pictures but looks good already
Oh, yeah, most definitely. I'm sure they're earning their money, haha.
I meant can't write Chinese ;P. I know how to speak (although, a different dialect and not fluently), but writing is a different story ><.. You thought I can't write in general XD?
But maybe they'll be released before you know enough Japanese ;P.
Hahahaha XD. Those gifs were really cute and nice XD.
Oo.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).... XD. The game is long, though. It's basically about a girl trying to build her own yuri harem, and there's A LOT of those girls ;P. That means a lot of hot scenes as well ;P..
I like that way of thinking ;P. Speaking of animu, are you currently watching anything?
Well, damn ;__;.... I never knew merchandise could be so expensive ;__;....
Learning ;P. I do think that learning the Japanese is a lot easier for some Asian people, like Koreans and Chinese people (I think especially Chinese people), since the writing are pretty much similar. I'm Chinese as well, but damn, I don't even know how to write, lol... Yep. Some VNs that are considered to be really good are left untranslated or partially translated. Sucks bigtime ;__;....
O, wow. That reaction was kinda cute ;P. I play them myself as well, no need to hide your embarrassment ;P.. https://vndb.org/v12404 ;P..
Aww, poor Ru-chan ;__;.... How expensive is expensive ;P? And can you get a discount or something when you bring a passport along ;O?
Yeah, but if I do find the motivation to do so, I'll probably be studying it myself ;P. But I think being an Asian does give you an advantage, doesn't it? Indeed ;P. Of course ;P. Especially if you want to read these visual novels that don't have a translation yet ;P.
I like Slice of Life. I'm sure I will ^^.
I'm pretty sure some of the English releases have everything uncensored. I could be wrong, though. But yeah, Japan does censor the genitalia ;P. I'm fine with it, so it doesn't really bother me as well, haha.
Nope ;P. It's full yuri, I'll give you that ;P. And Oppai Wars? Do you play a lot of nukige as well, Ru-chan ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)....? Haha XD.
I will. I'll tell you when I do ^^. Yeah, that's sad. I mean, pieces that are considered masterpieces should be fully enjoyed with the right pace ;P.
I did come from Sweden, but I travelled to Greenland at an age of 5, but yeah English is rather difficult when you think about it. Well, sometimes complex words are just, how to put it, difficult to interpret without searching for a definition for it. Also playing a lot of games, A LOT helped me with learning English haha. Glad to be someone easy to talk to, not sure if it's a good thing though.
Exactly. When you were in education did you find anything worthwhile? Like did something especially catch your attention and you started aiming towards that subject, which you plan to work with it in the future?
Haha, but my current one isn't that bad, on the contrary I think it'll be fine :P Oh right, I didn't tell you yet. The thing is my dad was a musician, he travelled around Europe quite a bit, especially in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, also on Ferry Boats in between. So for some reason he had to play in Greenland, which is where he met my mother. They started dating and she eventually travelled to Sweden. One thing and the other happened and then I was born. My mother missed her home, but my father couldn't just leave his home as well, which made it difficult to be a couple, so they agreed to live separately. At an age of 5 I travelled to Greenland and that's how it all turned out. I still have a great connection to my father. Not sure if it's a monologue...
Lol ikr... I thought to myself just now that if I watched anime I'll be able to finish a season or so, but nope instead I wanted to check in on MAL, well it's still productive if I can say so, I do have to reply to my messages to keep in touch with people. Well, for my animelist I didn't do that much, I don' plan to learn much about CSS coding, so I used a layout which Oiomi made, then changed some of the images, etc. I was talking about my profile layout. For the profile layout it's all BBcoding :P
So, to show it to you I messed around with your layout.
As you can see you need to break up the image into several images and set it up like this if you want buttons etc.
Oh it was messed up because the size, it was too big lol, I should have noticed that you made yours 1024 px, the max width is 798 px. Ah well, I hope you get the idea, but it looks kinda messed up now.
Oh it's not a music app, it's a game app; Piano Tiles 2. I play games to cool down as well, but for some pressing a lot of tiles in a short time is difficult. Even I'm not that great, my best is only 8 tiles/sec. I envy you, I still have to learn it :P
About that, your layout looks really great, you finally posted it :3 Not much to be said tbh, you have it all under control, maybe one thing could be added, but it looks really awesome. Not quite sure what it's called, but the smooth gradient change(???) from the first image to the second looks smooth, but the last one doesn't have that, is it intentional or so? I mean it still looks good, just curious.
Aha, stubborn huh. Yeah they're just awesome. Rikka was hilarious to watch, but reality almost always caught up with her. I wonder how a cousin in a futon would be... Also eating pizza like that, welp.
Thanks, hope you enjoy the conversation, I've been wondering about that lately.

We should only binge our animu ;P.
