Nice to meet you. I'm Japanese, but I registered to study English. I can't speak English very well, so it may be late to reply, but I'd be happy if you could get along with me! As the number of my friends is increasing, I may decline your friend request if there is no particular reason for it. In that case, I'm sorry.
There was a time when I was a little bit of a cosplayer. A long, long time ago, though.
Anime movies I've seen in theaters recently
Versailles no Bara (Movie) Kidou Senshi Gundam: GQuuuuuuX Rantarou Movie: Dokutake Ninja Tai Saikyou no gunshi
Then again, I love the Slayers series, so I'd love to talk to someone or something!

Your review was awesome. I have seen the original anime and read the manga, so I wasn’t too worried about spoilers. I figured there is no way to fit all of the story into a single movie, so some parts had to be cut. I had only seen the trailers for the movie, and was super excited. While I was searching for more info I came across your review. I cant wait to see the movie once it makes its way to america. Thanks again!
Wasn't saying Gaavs hair was difficult, meaning to say out of all the Slayers characters his is the most ridiculous as in the sheer amount on his head.
I'm talking about this form in the link if you choose to look.
I think its cool, seriously find it more interesting than the human form. But in terms of demon designs the anime Darkstar and Shabranigdo (when hes facing Ceifeed) are far superior.
Never considered doing cosplay myself, maybe if I had some sewing skills. Though I did think about cosplaying a soldiers outfit from Tanya the Evil. But any anime convention in this region bans anything resembling German military, which I find ridiculous if its fictional.
Ive seen some pretty elaborate hairstyles in anime that might surpass Yu-Gi-Oh. I think Gaav is the only person in Slayers with ridiculous hair, he reincarnated to half human half hair.
Now that I'm thinking of Gaav I kind of wish Rui Araizumi drew monster forms for all of the high level demons. At least the anime gave Shabranigdo more of a demon look than the novels. I do understand why they would want to draw human forms over elaborate monster forms. In the anime it looks like Phibrizzo could resemble Rorschach ink blots, if that was glimpse of his monster body. I think that's pretty cool if that's the case.
Wanted to share one of my favorite Lina lines from the novel is when she says "even when holding back hit like you mean it" when shes blasting those poor bounty hunters, and Gourry being concerned about overkill.
You know I do enjoy talking with you but I feel like my words have bothered you many times. Saying my speculation was an unpleasant experience makes me hesitant to talk about things. It was never my intention to write unpleasant things, or any thing else negatively affecting you. Sorry for the lack of foresight and communication skills.
Again I'm very sorry about the spoilers it was truly an accident, and sorry for the uneasy feeling I unintentionally gave you. I hope you still enjoy the new book when you read it.
Just said it was cool you cosplayed Hiei because hes a cool character, thought the hair would be the hard part but I forgot wigs exist.
Hope I didn't ruin any future conversations, might of set the Inn on fire like Naga and getting stuck on the roof.
the water effects can be distracting, especially when eating, so it's good there's an option to turn them off. the motion and staging in 4dx can make focusing on the story tough
the gundam arcade game, senjo no kizuna, sounds immersive but can cause motion sickness due to its realism.
it's interesting that shueisha is releasing roboko's movie on the same day as a conan movie this year. that's a bold move, considering the competition.
looking at merchandise is fun, even if you don't buy anything. limited-edition items can be tempting, but it's easy to collect things you don't use, like drama cds and dvds. however, art books or booklets are nice keepsakes.
thank you for sharing kihel-san! conan's reaction here is always so funny www
Honestly I didnt even get tickets, i missed them last year cause they were sold out and this year too. Bloody scalpers, but i bought it from someone who bought is unable to make it. Hopefully i'm able to attend the concert without any issues.
I have never heard of that band before, are they good? Hope you enjoy the concert!
HAHHA yes, it's the gatcha element. A lot of japan goods are mostly gatcha based as well i have realised, you have to pull until you get said item.
Yes, i watched the movie. Still a good movie, I mean with Miyazaki, you don't really have bad movies. It's either excellent or not too bad.
Ohh Gundam, have you watched the witch of mercury series yet? The one that Yoasobi did the OP for.
No I wanted to make a Old man joke.
Amé means both rain and candy and hashi means bridge or chopsticks.
In romaji English lettering they look same but they have different Kanji and it's difficult for a non native to differentiate between similar words just by pronunciation.
I got some candy mixed fruits and mint chocolate candies imported from Germany.
Bungo Stray Dogs I hope they a new season or a movie something soon.
They seasons only have 12 episodes but I get lost it feels longer.
I agree, reading is very good and relaxing, it helps with anxiety.
These past few weeks I've been writing some short stories for a publisher's contest on Instagram.
But I'm still a beginner, I have a lot to learn.
Do you also like writing?
So you're going to music concerts but have you ever attended concerts of famous international artists?
Like once I went to Metallica concert of course against my will but I realized that I much rather listen to digital media than live concerts.
I don't like crowds and it's too loud and the lights are too bright.
Some fans get too excited and cause trouble for others.
Thank you for your quick replies! I will try to get better at replying faster as I try to fix my schedule, with plenty of time to rest as well. I will reply asap
Sorry you had to repeat yourself didn't realize I was being repetitive. My theory was just baseless speculation, like when a story has things that will never be explained but I'd like to think of possibilities to fill that void of information. Its not supposed to be wrong or right just fun speculation. Based on what you said it makes sense that Luna wouldn't do such a thing, sorry if that was annoying of me to talk about it.
You didn't have to pain yourself to get the novels, I'll just look myself next time my apologies.
That's cool you cosplayed Hiei (if that's a translation error just ignore this part) was it a challenge doing the spiky hair part?
Replying to your Jan 22 comment! I am sincerely sorry for the late reply ;-;
Thank you for being understanding....It's not just typing errors, I am often misunderstood as well. Sometimes I wonder if maybe I am too dense, blunt and honest. Or maybe others are too soft and sensitive.....in any case. I like to express myself how I am. It feels better to me, to appreciate people that appreciate me for who I am. Hehe. I don't think you need to worry about replying to me. I have a lot of patience and If I don't understand something you say, I'll simply ask you what you meant ^^
I don't like to speculate on what others are thinking and I just directly ask, hehe.
Communicating with multiple people is not easy. Even I have felt overwhelmed sometimes. Once, I tried to talk to around 15 to 20 people at the same time, with long replies. I just couldn't keep up and gave up T-T
I am not really sure what you mean by "sns". Messages? I think LINE is messaging app? In my region whatsapp is more popular to use. Hmm, up till now I don't know much about you. But chatting with you has been pleasant. And so what if you are rude? Hehe. People should just speak out what they are really thinking, it build more trust! Hmm, I think being polite or rude, it's all words that can be seen and in different ways. Getting your feelings across is more important than words I think. Sorry, sometimes what I say gets confusing...hehe. Besides, I like people who are being true to themselves more. I don't worry much about anyone being rude or polite to me.
Oh so you use a translation site. Well if you ever feel like you don't understand what I have said then you can ask me with no hesitation. I will gladly tell you.
Hmm I see. As for me, I have not been watching much anime too. Recently it was annouced that bocchi the rock is getting a season 2, so i am very excited to watch that now. I have also read a lot of manga, but it's all mostly ongoing work. Not completed work. I would like to read some completed work too. I haven't read much interesting manga, most of the titles i have read are not rated high in myanimelist rankings. Only some of them are.
Oh you are not kidding, hehe. That it can be a bit difficult to recommend you. You have a lot more titles in your list and already seen many high ranking titles too. Hmm, it's surprising but I think our taste in anime/manga is lot similar than I expected. It's just that I am more lenient in my scores. Hehe. Hmmm still let see, I will try to recommend you some titles I think you might like. But just because I think you might like them doesn't mean you should like them.
Hmm i think maybe you should continue watching the rest of Mushishi. There are a lot more episodes to watch ^^
Ranma 1/2 is kind of fun. I am not sure if you will like it, maybe you will think it is decent at best. It recently got a remake, but i haven't seen the remake. I have seen the older title. https://myanimelist.net/anime/210/Ranma_½
I am not sure if you will like colourful movie or not. I liked it. It is about breaking out of your shell and wanting to express yourself. It might be a bit gloomy, but I like the message it gives to the viewers. https://myanimelist.net/anime/8142/Colorful_Movie
If you liked Fullmetal alchamist then i think you like brotherhood also. It's not a simple remake, the story is told a bit differently and the ending if a lot more different. I liked brotherhood more than the first title. https://myanimelist.net/anime/5114/Fullmetal_Alchemist__Brotherhood
Jin-rou is quite thrilling movie to watch. Tbh it's been a long time i have seen it, so I don't much. But I remember enjoying it. https://myanimelist.net/anime/570/Jin-Rou
Maybe you will like Ping Pong. The artstyle could be odd, but i really liked the story and everything about it. It is one of my all time favourites. I specially really like the soundtracks used in this anime. https://myanimelist.net/anime/22135/Ping_Pong_the_Animation
Thank for your recommendations! I have a lot of titles in my plan to read list. So i will add them in reading as priority to read first. I will try to read them one at a time and it could take me a long time to complete them.
Hehe, well if you ever feel tired of the forums then you could add me on discord. I know that you have mentioned you don't use discord much, but I have sent you a request there. It is a lot easier for me to give faster, shorter replies there. On mal, it takes me a long time to give long replies. A lot of thought goes into my replies. Hehe.
It's alright. I will respect your decision to not talk about piracy. I am not looking to have any arguments. Just some pleasant chat. Hehe.
Oh that sounds so much fun! Lately I have been very interested in anything music, art and singing. I don't really know much about it........but I really admire people that can express themselves and create beautiful art, music, etc. I kind of wish to be like them. But I am very shy right now.
I see. Well I am not good at singing or anything. I just bought it on an impulse. Hehe. I haven't really used it much. I have been thinking that I should try to practise singing, but I get tired after work. Plus the neighbors will complain about the noise. I don't know how i can start to practise singing.
That is very interesting. Because I have heard of the happy birthday songs in other languages. It was bad on my part to presume it will be Japanese. Sorry about that.
Maybe I will offer to sing you a song in the future. But right now I have no practise and I am really shy. It is going to take a lot more courage for me to start singing songs hehe. I will try my best to overcome it.
Thank you for your reply and I am really sorry about the very late reply. Have a wonderful day!
I'll avoid crossing the NG line, if I think something might be a spoiler I'll ask first from now on.
It was just a theory of mine that Luna started Lina's bad reputation titles, but realistically Lina probably earned them herself.
I don't remember the ceiling demon head illustration, which volume was that in? Do you remember the part where Lina's group invaded the castle acting like body guards taking advantage of the chaos & confusion? Like the part where they convinced a group of castle sorcerers to blast down one of the monsters.
Are you saying that new slayers book might not come out in March?
So what did you cosplay from Yuu Yuu Hakusho, also I'm bad with names what is the Gemaou again? Yuu Yuu Hakusho was the first manga series I obtained, really enjoyed the parts where Yusuke was helping random people as a ghost. Wish that made it into the anime adaptation. Did you keep the manga books when you bought them again?
