Report -Ulysses's Profile

Hey bro.

Ayyyyy, life is stable huh? That's good to hear. You're reaching the end of the race, you'll eventually start feeling jaded towards it. I faced the same damn thing close to me finishing my final course works and deadlines. My best advice for you is to just grit your teeth and just tank on. Once you finish well enough, you can rest and know you did enough. The worst feeling during graduation is to know that you could do better and you still let yourself get a crappy result. Don't worry, haha, when you finish your journey, you yourself won't have to feel any jealousy! That's what you should get motivated on. So, from me to you, CATCH UP BRO! I'M WAITING ON YOU!

To be honest, I'm going through some situation of uncertainty and confusion about my decisions and stuff. I'm stuck assessing if I'm actually doing the right thing for me or if the decisions I've made thus far are even sensible or wise. You saying I seem to have a better plan for what I want and what is next in the future, it's a bit anti-climatic. Like I told my friend who attended the same high school as I did, "I'm simply alive but I don't think I'm really living. I'm just going about my day gritting my teeth and championing on. It's an everyday struggle in this life we're living, isn't it?"

Oh? We're doing the same thing concerning the Hajime no Ippo manga? Damn, okay. On that note, moving onto Vinland Saga? I read the manga about 3yrs ago. At that time, I had caught up to its latest chapter, so I left it to stack up some more. I'm sure it shows where I read until if you had checked my profile haha. It is a great manga indeed. I recently saw some clips of its anime on YouTube. I don't know when I'll get to go back to reading Vinland Saga though. With that said, I'm grateful for the recommendation.

How's my job going? Well, it's exhausting every time I get home to rest. Way more exhausting than I actually would like to admit. Ah well, it's one of those things. I'm just going through the motions, but I'm hoping for some things to materialise. I'm only hanging onto the job because there's hope for me to transfer to its IT Department. I'm cool with the Managing Director of my workplace, so he's the one I'm banking on. I'm just waiting on his feedback. Outside of that, did something interesting happen in my life? To outright answer you, nothing I'd personally acknowledge. NOTHING AT ALL!

Yo! Here I was thinking I had replied to you after all this time. I've been quite distant from MAL even more so comics and anime, to be honest. I just recently started trying to get used to comics again after rereading Tales of Demons and Gods manhua. I started yesterday and I caught up to the latest chapter a few minutes ago. Luckily, I'm on my days off from work so it was easy to marathon through it all with full rest of mind. I just thought to enter MAL and see what's up. The regular chaps ain't regular at all anymore, we're all woken up by the reality of life. We ain't got much time for MAL anymore smh. Ah well, it is what it is.

Moving on, from the first paragraph, you can already tell I'm currently working. It's a peanut job though: working at a mall. In other news, I graduated in the last week of July. So, I'm just wallowing in the realities of a graduate right now. The question of "what's next?" is real my guy!!! Hopefully, I made the right moves and decisions. I'm putting off Master's for like a year to see what I can scrape together by working and all. There's a lot of personal development and skills I feel gotta learn within this one year before I'd personally feel ready to tackle a Master's Degree. Anyway, that's that on educational updates.

I guess reading the first paragraph of your reply, I can relate to that other side. Mine is having a Bachelor's Degree, living in an apartment with another student, and becoming a man while facing life.

Let's see where you were going with your following paragraphs. Reading through where you stopped in Hajime no Ippo, it seems you have passed where I did. However, I don't think I'm that far off. I stopped where Ippo was trying to train a delinquent to be a good guy, but the dude was all through faking his reformation. When Ippo found out and confronted him about it, Ippo got pissed off at some point and punched the dude, I think the dude had amnesia or so. It's clear from day one that the author of Hajime no Ippo is milking the story on and on and on. That is aside from his commitment to his craft itself. The dude has been working since the end of the 20th Century on this shit. He has to eat off of it as much as he can yo! Yeah, to be honest, Takamura getting his belts and what the author does with Sendo and Miyata is what I'm curious to see. Whatever happens to Ippo, I can't be arsed about at this point.

Concerning Miyata, once Ippo retired, he started losing his grip on things. He started behaving sadly due to not having the rematch between Ippo and him in the ring. He started questioning what the point was for him to reach where he was in boxing, all his hardships waiting for Ippo to catch up to him and just retire for whatever reason he retired.

Hahaha, I guess we ended up doing the same thing anyway. For me, I couldn't focus on entertainment (in general) much since the beginning of the year since my final year deadlines and project came knocking like a stranger. It just feels good to be relieved of all that pressure though. Now the pressure is different smh. What a life. *sigh*

To be honest, I don't see myself reading Hajime no Ippo in the next couple of years. Probably just gonna let it ride till I hear it's done? Maybe it can be that way or not. There are way too many comics to focus on though. Also, I've recently started getting into web novels. All my time in the comics and novels medium, I've always avoided the web novels for as long as I can remember. I was always lazy to take the time to settle down to read them. However, I've gotten past that. It's easier for me to settle down to start a web novel. So, in relation to how distant I've become with comics and mangas, I guess my newly gained interests in web novels is also a contributing factor.

Outside of all that, we ain't talked since May. How are you? How's life so far? We gotta update ourselves on things yo! What's popping bruh?

Ah, that's sad to hear.

I don't mind at all as long as it goes steady and doesn't go on hiatus and such. As well as get more animes.

Is Hajime no Ippo still on going btw? When will it end ffs? I read 1k chapter before but didn't continue, and now I'll have to re-read from where the anime stopped.

Hahaha, what other side in this case, my guy?

What are your thoughts on the current state of Hajime no Ippo? Ippo retiring and being a second? Takamura? Miyata turning to a sadist? I ain't read it in a very long time, but that's what I can remember from the brief glance last time I checked.

Yeah, the manga artist is definitely a fucking asshole for not completing this one. I heard hes travelling around with his money. But anyway, still worth reading and re-reading to me.

Yeah bro, we gotta survive and keep up with the times.

Hahaha, I've definitely gotten wiser and more confident in myself, not that confidence was ever a problem for me. It's just way better now. I can't be fazed by whatever scenario I find myself, even if I'm overwhelmed. Generally, more knowledge for me, more friends. You learn more about life the more you live through it. There's just too much information generated everyday bro.

I recently started and finished the anime for Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (or whatever, The Shield Hero though). That's the only thing I've seen in recent memory. I'll work towards getting more into anime gradually over time. I don't think I'm gonna be seeing any anime that I never planned to watch or looked forward to (especially if I follow their manga or comic counterpart). I should be looking to start Goblin Slayer anime at some point in the future. For comics in general, it's easier for me to read manhwas and manhuas, as compared to mangas, to be honest. I don't think I'm ready to dive into mangas, due to them being heavier on the plots or story etc as compared to comics like God of Martial Arts, Tales of Demons and Gods, Death Field etc

Ha! You've been reading DC Comics? Interesting. The only one my attention picked up was about Jason Todd (The Red Hood) in DC Comics. I did start The Walking Dead comic though, I haven't gone too far with that one. It's very bulky I must say.

I'm happy about my bachelors too bro. I'm also happy that you're happy for me!! Haha, I'm glad you find it nice about my situation with education. I'm also proud of you concerning your own progress. I'm at the finish line bro, I'm waiting on you as well. Just keep it up bro, I believe in you.

To answer your question, I majored in Computer Science (Systems Engineering). What's up?!

Haha, thanks. What made you say that?

Hahaha, gaddamn!!! 2 damn years? It's great hearing from you after so long man. I'm sure a lot of things has transpired in our lives within the past 2 years, would be a really long and enjoyable conversation to hold with you bro.

Well, all in all, I am definitely still alive and kicking. To answer your question.... well, there's a lot going on, but, the major news is I'm almost done with my Bachelor's degree. Around mid-2017, I was able to finally transfer to another university and resume my education, I got pulled back and had to redo a year though.

Overall, my manga reading and anime watching habits ain't doing too well, especially anime watching. I still binge some manhwas and manhuas from time to time. However, I've covered a ton of comics. There's so much to discuss if we were to go into it.

With all that said, it's really great hearing from you again. How you doing so far this year man? How's life treating you? What you up to these days?

I enjoy old animation. No matter how old.

hahaha. yeah but I can enjoy something like charlotte from time to time too. Its true though, i am into the manly stuff. Going to start ashta no joe soon.

vagabond, that is however my biased opinion. also I wanted to ask, is charlotte good?

I've read that manga 4 times over the past 5 years or so. Its definitely worth your time.

Plenty of respectable things you watched/read here. Glad we are friends.
