I'm loving it, I'm not that far ahead rn, but I finished the first race arc and holy hell it was the most fun I've had reading a manga. Such an intense race with so many players, it was so awesome.
After that I've kinda stopped reading, I'll get back to it eventually tho.
(also should have posted on the comment section on your profile, but i'm just being lazy af rn lmao)

I'm reading SBR really slow actually because Araki is taking it really slowly with Jojolion and I don't want to catch up to it and have no more Jojo material. That would destroy me :P

Exactly why I'm just so slow with it, same with berserk xD I am just trying to find more Jojo content, I just watched the Kishibe Rohan OVA yesterday xD
Maybe I'll watch the Old Jojo adaptation as well O_O
Also reading manga isn't my thing, I just couldn't wait for more that's why I just started Jojo manga any ways :P

It was really good, they gave it a sort of creepier tone compared to rest of the series, and I also don't mind getting Rohan being in the spotlight so it was a blast for me. Also I loved how none of the episodes were focused on stand battles, they showed how many more Bizarre things happen in this universe haha.

Berserk is really good. It's really dark but awesome nonetheless... the artstyle is awesome.

The OVA is not what I thought it would be which I liked. I really want to read Berserk because I recently finished the 1997 adaptation and it left on such a weird note. Have you seen the 1997 anime?

No I haven't seen the any anime adaptation of Berserk T-T I picked up it's manga straight from the get go haha. I was playing a ton of dark souls and I read that Dark souls took a lot of inspiration from Berserk which led me to just pick it up over the anime adaptations first haha. I'll probably watch them later when I FINALLY finish the manga (which might be never xD)

I do not want anything since I am an adult. But I need to buy a set of loudspeakers and an amplifier (for myself, and I will use the Christmas excuse to do so). Not going to invest a crazy amount of money, and I would start to believe in Santa Claus if @SadMadoka was kind enough to give me some recommendation (budget: a few thousands of dollars).

I love how people summon me for audio advice. gwehehe~

If you can spend a few thousand (presumably USD), you have lots of options. For reference, I have owned loudspeaker and headphone systems ranging from under $100 to over $20,000.

The best speakers I owned for around your budget (well, they're $3K or so, but I think you can get them for closer to $2K now) are the Geithain RL 906 active studio monitors. They already come with internal amplifiers custom-designed for the speakers, so you can connect any analog source (including digital components that output an analog signal) to them and you're good to go.

However, the speakers I'm most curious about are the passive Omega Compact Alnico Monitors. I know a guy who claims they're better than anything he's heard in the five to six figure range even though they cost under $2K. He uses an insanely expensive system and could buy nearly any speaker in the world, but he uses those instead, so I guess they're pretty great. (I plan on buying them, but for the moment, I'm focusing on high-end headphones.)

If neither of these would fit your needs or you want something else in general, tell me more about your listening environment and so on.

If you want powerful sub-bass, you would need larger speakers or a subwoofer, and that's a whole 'nother can of worms because they're more challenging to set up properly.

For amplification of passive speakers, if all you want is something that works and isn't expensive, there are all sorts of integrated amps (basically a power amp and preamp in a single unit), and most are fine. I would just get something for one or two hundred dollars to start with, as it's best to allocate most of your budget toward the speakers themselves.

If you want tips for the rest of the system, let me know.

Examples of other components include a DAC (digital to analog converter), preamp (for controlling the volume) and various types of cables.

(You can always go the simplest route and just connect a computer to the speakers if they're active ones, but then you would have to control the volume via the computer, and there are other potential issues you could encounter.)
