Report jieanteater's Profile

I was drawn to Girls Und Panzer because I have always had a interest in tanks and Ww2 and for a place further than the universe I just really enjoyed the emotional journey it takes you on.

Thank you for the advice, it's good advice, I appreciate it. I already try to include God in my everyday life, try to follow the "WWJD principle", my problem is that I always end up trying to make compromises.


But thank you for the encouraging words and verses, they mean a lot to me! And it also means a lot that you say I'm important! Not saying this because I don't get enough love otherwise, but because I rarely get this in the online space

Not the art style, but the structure of the plot. Its characteristics. The tragedy, the deaths, the brutality, and the drama.

But if we speak of art styles, I'm sceptical about anime with alternative art styles. They scream that "I'm not like the rest. I'm unique! I'm morally deep! I'm better!" But I know this from other media and it usually translates to "I'll show you reality, my reality, so you'll see that it sucks. Enjoy! Or rather, don't enjoy."

Okay, so simply follow the airing order, I'll note that!

Yes, I study programming (both writing and designing programs), and I chose this for two reasons.

First, because quite simply this was the thing that interested me the most.

The second one is much sillier: I always wanted to write a game, but I knew I'm not diligent and persistent enough to learn how to do it right, so I thought, if I go to university, they'll surely give me the tools to make it reality! And I was mostly right, I learnt object oriented programming, and this semester I finally had my chance to take on my long wanted game development course! Most people signed up just because it was worth a ton of credits, but I really attended most of the classes and now I know how to do it right! I guess I'll have to start over my whole project now that I see how terrible it is, haha.

Back to the original topic, where I study they don't offer a specialization in BSc, that's what MSc is for. In short, BSc is where you learn all the basics* you will need, so to say. It gives you enough knowledge to get a decent job. But if you take on MSc, the "real university level" education, you'll be able to get much higher level jobs. And it's also about prestige :)

*Naturally, it's not that simple, and there are two other options (below BSc) you can take: vocational training and higher education vocational training. The first one is instead of normal high school, my brother chose this route and it's actually a pretty good option, especially that you can still take university afterwards and you start with a huge advantage. The second one is something I don't know much about, but it's probably similar, except that it's less thorough and more intense, because you also start to do real work during your studies to gain experience.

It's a dilemma for me to decide when to watch dark shows. If I watch them when I'm happy, I'll ruin my happiness. But if I watch it when I'm feeling down, it'll make it even worse. It's best to take the middle road.

Yeah, it's scary how good AI can copy things. Now it can make everything: images, voices, texts, music, even animations! But it wouldn't be the end of the world except that anybody can use these! I always said that every good thing is only good until it becomes widely available

Thanks! I got this set from viraat_pirate, but as it turned out I'm using it the wrong way. ^^' It's a forum set, not a profile set, and it's actually a signature. I didn't think of this because I keep the signatures hidden. The only forum I was part of before MAL didn't have signatures so I don't find them nostalgic, I see them as visual clutter, especially when the answers are very short and the page has 99% pictures and 1% text. Maybe in the future I'll make my own profile set and use this as a sig, who knows.

Yes, the potential questions corner was a funny idea that was part of my profile already, but I didn't call it a corner. My plan is to replace it with a house blueprint with clickable rooms, or just four button images on a 2x2 grid, and it'll take the visitor to MAL blog pages with the texts. It's not my idea, but it'd be cool.

Well can’t waste such handy initials! lol :)) I’m glad we’re in the same boat then! I’m finally getting back into it too it’s way more enjoyable after a break right?

thanks so much for the well wishes and let’s definitely discuss anime more in 2025! so glad you had a great year!! :D

hello and happy holidays! it’s been a minute I know we were having a fun conversation before I took a mal break earlier this year but wanted to wish you a happy new year! :D

Yes, most people only see the disadvantages of it, find it too restricting, but I really think it's the key to happiness. I was raised in a Christian family (and I'd even say community), but of course this in itself isn't enough if I don't want to follow this way myself. Often I'm not sure if I'm "doing it right", seeking God's will is tiring for me, I'm not organized enough to read the Bible regularly, but as I said, I'm trying.

She is from Psycho-Pass, one of the main protagonists to be precise. I can recommend the anime if you like cyberpunk series, I see you were okay with Madoka Magica so I reckon Urobuchi's style is not insulting for you (some people hate him).

Aria is already on my offline plan list, thanks! But I didn't know so far what it is about. What watch order do you recommend for it?

Thanks for the question, you are so kind for offering to pray for me! It went well! Since it's only an internship and it's a state-owned company they only wanted to know if I'm clear about the basics, I could answer almost all of their professional questions so they said they were satisfied with me and would gladly offer me an internship, if I accept it of course. It was a little shocking to see how much they wanted to convince me to choose them. I feel important now.

But of course I don't think I am a genius or something, in fact, I felt like I was a little too honest during the interview and in a real situation going for a serious job I probably would have killed my chances with some of my negative claims about my skills. I didn't want to lie to them and wanted to look perfectly honest, that's it. And it worked this time.

About the other question, my work would be to write database queries and/or migrate code between program versions. I'm not sure about the exact details, but something like this. It's not my favorite task (it's closer to my most hated one) but maybe it won't be that hard since they also know I'm new at this. And it's also an important factor that I have very few time left to start it if I want to finish BSc by the next summer.

Yeah, Evangelion is quite melancholic, not the happy slice-of-life type. But it worth watching so go for it when you feel your are in the mood! (No forcing though)

Yes, I wanted to put it in the middle as a contrast, haha. ^^ To show I like lighter anime too.

Last Christmas? Okay, I totally didn't expect you to remember that. Let me check our conversation history.

I'm still not sure what mug you mean, sorry. 😅 I thought we only talked about your mug. Speaking of it, I found a wonderful one a few weeks ago, it's not real, it's just an AI art, but a very good one. The creator is Moon Rabbit, she creates all sorts of anime pictures on Nightcafé (I use the site too, my pictures are moderately popular, I'm not going for mass appeal, I just have fun)

If I could explain "gray characters" with my own words I would say - "character trying to do good by bad means" or something like that - of course it depends, this is not the only explanation.

"If you like thoughtful shows you might like this one, so I highly recommend it." - yup I would give it a shot in the future for sure.

Yes I am. Or as I like to phrase it "I'm trying". There are things that are hard for me, like not saying bad things about people I know.

Oh, I wish I could relax. I'll have a small job interview tomorrow, maybe I can finally get an internship. I hope I won't screw it up. The fact that I probably won't get any money for my work means that maybe the bar is lower and I have a realistic chance to be hired.

I couldn't agree more, Maomao has a colorful personality you don't see often. Who is my favorite female MC of all time? I can't choose, the top 3 in no particular order are maybe Tsunemori Akane, Maomao and Nausicaä. But I could mention more.

No, he doesn't have a MAL account. I'm not sure about it but maybe his most liked shows were Black Butler and Mission: Yozakura Family.

I finished Yuru Camp S2 long ago (about time) and as I expected it was peak. I gave it a perfect score, Yuru Camp is the anime that I won't start inspecting under the microscope for fault because it has no point to do so. If I enjoyed it, I'll score it accordingly.

My two favorites are Nausicaä and Howl's Moving Castle, but I enjoyed all of those I've seen (speaking only of the Miyazaki directed ones). Because I have a few left but movies require much more time than a 25 minute episode (or about 21 if you skip the intro, outro and preview) so I rarely watch them. I'll really have to watch the rest of the Evangelion Rebuild movies though.

I like gray characters, from what I heard anime didn't adapt everything that he is [as the novels have more detail and he is much worse there] - still as an anime only I enjoy seeing the man of war on screen, the development of his relanshionship with Violet [tbh I kinda ship them too XD], the hatred and fear he feels for her, the mixed feelings as he sees her change - that the tool actually became human, that his way of thinking wasn't right, his last order towards her? To live a long life? it's just good and well all of that + he's hot XD.

"Girls Last Tour" - nope, but I have it on my planned list - I didn't thought about watching it for a while, as I thought that it was "cute girls doing cute things" type of show, that's most of the time not for me, but I plan to give it a shot.

right? I need to rewatch Violet someday, I really like it. My fav character was well Dierfried, even though he didn't had that much screentime. Still Violet Evergarden is just gorgeous, not only in the art, but the OST and the ability to make me cry every episode XD [also the way Violet changes in ways she expresses her feelings? beautiful]

HAHA yup I do love a lot of female characters - Swindler [Akudama Drive], Hanekawa Tsubasa [Monogatari], Mayumi Doujima [Bishounen Tanteidan], Haru [Beastars], Noi/Nikaidou/Ebisu [Dorohedoro], Alex [Gangsta], Violet [Violet Evergarden], Akane [Psycho-Pass] and many many more XD, tbh I also really like the "bland" female protag archetype either if the grew out of it or not.

[also I really like Uramichi on ur profile picture, his face just cracks me up XD]

haha thank you :D your location is also pretty real XD

Princess Principal is really cool, especially if you like spy and steampunk themes! The studio, Actas, is well-known for Girls und Panzer, but here they deliver a darker and more serious atmosphere. The story follows a group of girl spies in an alternate Victorian-era world, with lots of political intrigue and awesome action. The characters are strong and have interesting backstories too. If you enjoy Girls und Panzer, you might like the teamwork and tactics style in this one as well. Definitely worth checking out! :)

And you're welcome! hope your day was amazing!

Happy belated birthday! :)

Aww. :) You are welcome! ^_^

Happy birthday! 🎂
