Made a new account on this place after deleting my old one. Long story short, I've been on here since October 2008, on and off.
My list doesn't have all the entries in it and I'm too lazy to hunt them down. I also have an Anilist account.

Glad to be here once again. I rejoined because I wanted to participate in the interest stacks anime and manga challenges.
I also know at least one person on here who I speak to regularly, as a friend.

I also like watching dramas, especially BL and GL ones. I read books occasionally as well.

What anime would you guys recommend I watch after a long break (2+ years)? I know this isn't the place to ask for recs, but I had to fill out this message's space with something.

Cheers!

@Serafos Yeah, I like GL although I have seen few of them and mostly live action series.
Thanks for the recs! I have seen 4.5 out of those.

YagaKimi was amazing, I'm due for a re-watch/re-read. ^^

@Ohayotaku Thanks! I chose a shorter one, only 48 chapters / 4 volumes. There's one or two with only one volume, it should work?

I was thinking along the same lines since I spend more time on anime. Best of luck to us both ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks, added. It looks interesting, although usually historical genre is not my cup of tea.

Welcome back! I recently came back myself.
Hope you enjoy your time here and that you can also get back into anime/manga.
Honestly, I recently learned more about stacks myself. It definitely sounds a good way to get back the swing of things!

Enjoy your stay!

@SoulEaterQUEEN @Jhinsoul @JFang_

Thanks guys, for the welcome messages. It's good to be back!
Indeed I noticed that a few other people came back after years.
Interest stacks are good for when you want to discover more anime and manga.
I used to add quite a few to my profile, just for reference.

This month's goal: watch Hataraku Saibou. Maybe I'll get back to anime this way for good.

Welcome back to our family! You made your account the same year I did, if you don't mind me asking why did you end up deleting it? Either way we are happy you have returned!

@Akiko_Yosano thanks!

@Retro8bit oh someone else who made the account in 2008! I ended up deleting because I thought I got tired of anime. Deleted it back in 2013 and since then had another 2 accounts. It's way too easy to delete online accounts nowadays. A few clicks and you're on your way to not having any online presence. Which is what I probably wanted too, beside the no anime watching phase.

Happy to report I made progress with both Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu and Hataraku Saibou! I'm glad I got back to anime. Maybe I won't leave in the next 10 years. After that, I would have watched most good anime, so I'm either going for manga or go back to dramas fully.

In fact, I just remembered I couldn't delete my account back then as there was no option for that. But I did delete everything on it and then renamed it to @thisisover.

Hello there! I too also read books!

I like Dandadan. Would recommend it if you like goofy action.

"Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.”
