Recommendation Club Newsletter~Holiday Edition

As we enter into one of the busiest times of the year, we here at the Recommendation Club would like to extend our wishes for each and every one of you to have a wonderful holiday season!

Since the September newsletter, our club has gained many new members, and seen the return of old ones. We would like to keep the momentum going, and with our member list now at 3,111, that should be no problem at all! ^_^.

We would like all of our members, old and new, to help keep this an active, and fun club, a place to Chat and to seek out recommendations in our General anime and General Manga thread as well as the specific anime genre threads, such as Drama and Romance and Sci-fi and many others as well.

It’s a great place to make new friends, or renew past friendships, and we urge all of our members to drop by, and post in the various threads and comment section, as well as share you expertise with other members.

We look forward to seeing you all here !

News and Request for Help

Our club is almost one year old and we'll be most likely celebrating it with lots of specials and contests, so you might wanna check out the club at least once every few days as something new might appear in the horizon. :D

We noticed that while the member count keeps growing by day, we aren't exactly as active as we should be. It would be nice to see more and more people chatting in the comments or in the chat thread. I'd like to mention that a chat thread in our club gets closed after a comment or so is made on page 50. I'd like to get this one closed so we can start one anew in our next club year. Thanks in advance.

I'd also be glad if you introduced yourself in our special threads or warmly welcome our new members that have posted there. Also, if you have any trouble deciding what anime you want to watch or if you want to help others, take a look at the recommendation thread and post there.

If anyone is willing to make member cards, just post the templates in this thread or pm them to me. If you have made some other kind of graphic for the club you can post it in the comments or, again, pm it to me.

Hey,

Yo, How'd the exams go?

It's been a while, how ya been?

Least it dones whoop!
Happy Bonfire night!

Yay first draft :)

Dragonball was my first manga actually. I actually own the 42 volumes and that's the only manga I own. Had them for years, yeah. I didn't know the difference between a comic and manga when I bought(what was it, like 10 years ago, I don't know -_-) them haha. Actually, that manga is serialized in a western style. You read it like a normal comic, left to right. Weird. That's the only manga I've seen serialized like that. But I haven't seen many manga too lol.

...Talking about DB made me realize that I didn't had to to my list lol. I'm going do that rofl.

I'd buy more manga, but it's almost impossible to find them in english where I live, mhm. And I hate french translations combined with a restricted selection(mainly mainstream mangas). I thought about buying them online but shipping is so damn expensive. I'll keep considering haha.

That's the first impression One Piece is well known to give. Lots of time on my hand and animes channel is what originally got me hooked on One Piece haha.

preliminaries or mock exams huh.

Hmm I'm not 100% sure how the system is in Britain but the A levels are the higher levels right? Getting you into the high rated universities I assume.

You had to write an essay about the investigation? I did something similar a month ago, it was helluva lot of work hehe.. First looking into a few articles about human rights and development aid and using my analysis of those I had to write an essay about how to improve the way development aid is dealt with. :s Took quite some time.

MAL is great because of the incredible anime and manga database. I usually just look through people's anime lists to find new ones that interest me or if you want to find something of a specific genre you can always ask the community :).

Ra
I don't remember, my memory is hazy as it's been somewhere between 2 to 4 years. But I think I am indebted to Naruto for at least one reason. Either Naruto or One Piece, but my bet is both is the reason why I got addicted to mangas. When you catch up with the anime, you want to see what's going to happen, so I ended up looking for the manga, mhm. Then I found the manga world. So I must be thankful to Naruto for that, yeah.
One Piece is awesome in my opinion so I don't have to LOOK for reasons to be thankful to it. Thanks god it exists. rara

Mhm, thank you. I'll keep that in mind ^^

Well they aren't real exams yet. Just normal tests I guess, of every subject. How do you call that in Britain? Next year will be my exam year, but sadly that doesn't make these tests any less important.

It always gives you a great feeling when you finish something :)! What was your coursework about?

I had the same experience when I joined MAL. Everyone is very friendly and it won't take you long to find a bunch of people who you'll have very enjoyable conversations with. You also get the best anime/mange tips here, but that is kind of obvious I guess :p hehe.

I first watched the anime of naruto until shippuden, don't remember how far I went into shippuden but that doesn't matter. Anyway when I was up to date with the anime I continued the story through the manga as it was more advanced.
That might be one of the reason why my view is prejudiced, boring filler you find in animes are dangerous. So maybe if I read the whole manga I'd like it more.
So far I don't hate it, but I don't love naruto. I don't find the plot so interesting nor the story itself.
The other reason is that I really despise the character Sasuke. He was originally described as an intelligent and promising ninja(even if I never really liked him, I didn't despise him until..) but the decision he takes are always motivated by shallow motives leading to totallly dumb and illogic results. I mean, he is supposed to be a genius, but he act like an immature idiot.

Yeah, but I doubt my talents for writing character physical description and background descriptions.
