ohai :3

o wow you're one year older than me. does that mean i have to call u senpai

Omg, sorry my reply is so late.
I can agree on that, I'm really looking forward to a Part 6 adaptation, I miss Jolyne. But maybe the quality of Part 5 will be better this way? I have to confess, I've watched a cammed version of the first episode not long after they aired it in the Japan Expo in Paris, and it looks gorgeous. It may not be my favourite Jojo, but I'm still hyped for it. :D

Btw, Josh, which one would you recommend more: Banana Fish manga or anime?

ITS NOT YOU ITS ME! D:

Well anything from the 80's-90's really, as that is where my interest lies currently.
Perhaps some obscure/underrated stuff?

I was thinking about watching City Hunter after i finish Yawara! But not sure yet since police/detective type of shows are usually not my thing, have you watched it? If so what do you think about it?

Ah yeah there seem to be quite a few interesting titles in that list, thanks :)

Kinda same, I put most of my manga and anime on hold until MAL was back up, but most of the MAL people I talk to are in a discord server I'm in. Though I talked less, because everyone seemed to be doing their own thing waiting for MAL to be back as well.

School started again last month, and I'm pretty ok with most of my subjects except for calculus. So I'm really thankful some friends of mine study with me often and help me out with that.

On a side note... Yup, I have even more backlog to catch up on :joy:

<<

no, Satisfucktion said it first

Your profile grosses me out... please change it. Thank you.

Hiii!
You seem to be into older anime, personaly i tend to gravitate towards them aswell, especially those from the 80's-90's there somthing about the artstyle and ost from that time that gives me a warm and cozy feeling while watching them.

I see that you have watched alot more titles then me tho :p, so i was wondering if you have some recommendations?

Yeah it just feels way off having profiles and comments but not being able to see other people's lists and updates (aside from the front page). I've never used the forums that much personally, but I cracked a few jokes in some places saying they can just leave the forums offline haha.

I feel you on that. Some use it pretty religiously (me over the last year or so) and some just like to cruise and update their log. I'm kind of both, I've just met a lot of really cool people interacting on here and grew to really like interacting through comments. I realized that even more when I started to miss it when it was offline completely.

I watched just about everything from Spring and I regret it haha, but totally my own fault as that seems to be par for the course with seasonals these days. You probably won't gain much from watching so much. Hinamatsuri was my favorite standalone thing from spring. Current MHA season, while I'm not too big on the show, this season has definitely had the best moments in the series so far. I'm also catching up (very slowly) on Black Clover and Boruto because of our previous discussion about wanting to watch all the long running shounens out there.

About BF, it really caught my attention since I never heard about it much until discussion about Summer season started spawning. Had a lot of close friends who talked highly of the source material. I'm always down for a good action thriller with solid characters and the fact that the BL is a highly marketed thing about is a huge plus for me if it pulled it off well while handling all the other elements about it. I was also wondering how they would modernize it sort of like they did with Parasyte. Even just the first sentence of the synopsis was enough to get me on board:



So good.

I'm really sorry to hear that man. I know that situation all too well. I don't bring it up my situation very often but that's exactly how I spent most of my early 20s as you described. Work a ton and then the rest on free time but that sense of hopelessness like you were never going to truly be happy. I'm 25 now and I just took a month health and healing session to get me back on track, sort of like a group therapy session but more private and you worked together with the same group of people. I honestly felt really pathetic, I know seeking help is the opposite of pathetic but I still couldn't help it. One month later I got accepted into a school down here in Australia to study medicine and that's what I'm currently up to. All of 2018 has been... rough to say the least. I had to make huge adjustments just to move down here, live on my own for the first time in awhile and remember how to go to school again LOL since I dropped out for so long. All of those combined made it really hard to get into new habits and learn new things, but overall it's been good for me I think it's what I really need to snap me back into reality.

That's what up with me though for the most part, to answer your last question. Just got back from visiting my Aunt over the last week and now I'm preparing for my second semester of Uni which starts in 10 days from now. You have me on discord, so don't hesitate if you ever need someone to talk to or just want to strike a conversation. I know it probably doesn't mean a whole lot, but still. I'm down to talk about anything.

Man I didn't realize I let so much time pass since I last talked to you on here. I feel ashamed, honestly. Didn't help with the MALpocalypse shutting down as I was taking my finals from last semester so I totally forgot who I started a convo with.

How's life treating you? Watching anything from previous seasons or the current one? I'm interested what you'll think of Banana fish since I see the manga in your favorites. It's definitely top 3 of the summer season for me and I'm interested to see more.

Don't finish Violet before me.

Did you know that Part 5 anime has been announced??? It's going to start airing in October!!

Oh also, that Carpenters song on your profile! <3

Not just difficult but imposible if you use the app, and I'm not really fond of using Chrome on mobile for sites unless I really need to. Glad to have to back on my comment section! LOL

For a really long time actually, a 3 minute video for example would take 10 minutes to load, it was a nightmare. After we got broadband that problem was gone, but since it was in its early stages (at least here I think) it was a little bit slow, but still definitely an upgrade. The only thing I always enjoyed from dial up was the sound when it was connecting (still do though), besides that I could totally live without it. Oh man, Newgrounds! I almost forgot that existed! Though I was never so lucky as to meet someone there, usually I just roamed the game section. I don't know why but it was the first anime from my childhood that I decided to check out again, and I watched as much as I could while it was still on YT. Megaupload and direct download sites would hit the scene a little later for me, since I was really suspicious about viruses and stuff after having an awful experience with our previous computer while I was trying to download The Sims through eMule, and I also wouldn't go back to using torrenting software for some time either because of that. Once I finally got around to start downloading my animes and games from MG and other sites and learned how they worked I was on top of the world, and after I found out there was software I could use to burn DVDs with my own content no one could stop me, specially since official anime releases were unheard of, and still are, and anime or comic book shops wouldn't pirate them either, not even peddlers, which are really common here, would, and those guys pirate absolutely everything as long as they can profit out of it.

That's a shame really, BakaBT as great as Animebytes or other torrenting sites but they got the job done for me if I wanted to watch something old school in relatively good quality, also it's great you can use AB! I don't know of a single person who could ever get in and I've been trying for a while to get an invitation, I wonder when they'll be open for applications again. Wow, I can totally see why the access is so limited, from what you're saying it sounds like it has some really cool features, specially the seeding system which I think is the main problem for BakaBT, not only is it way too strict but it has some major flaws as well, and the process of getting your seeding rating or whatever it was back up is insane. So screw that, I wanna make some Yen!

It did actually! And a few months ago even https://www.amazon.com/GoShogun-Complete-TV/dp/B076F6W3B2 But yeah, Time Stranger is so disconnected from the actual series you even forget it had one to being with, I wish a group of fansubbers gets hold of it soon so it can finally get a nice release online.

If it's good enough for you then that's really great, I think for me Bleacj willl always be one of those series I'll never get around to watch, like Naruto or One Piece, they didn't catch my eye when I was a kid, they're already long as hell and the little I've seen I didn't like, so it's best for me if I move on and revisit what I really do like as well as other new anime.

Same here, though only Megalobox seems to stick with me so far. I wanted to start Lupin V but I still had to watch the previous season, and I promised that for the love of the original I wouldn't watch the LOGH reboot, as for the rest they're either sequels/reboots/alternatives of series I won't bother to watch for a looooong time, new series which look terrible and/or boring as fuck, or old ones that carried on from the previous season. The few which could interest me I'd rather leave them until they're finished airing, mostly because I don't like to cramp too many things into my watching list. With all that in mind I'd rather stick to my usual max. of 3 series and pick something to watch from my own list for now.

If working on sales is already hard enough I can't imagine what retail must be like, specially if you're disenchanted with the job overall. Getting a raise is pretty great though, even if the company's going to expect more from you from now on, but being able to save your money is amazing! At least for me anyway, that's a concept we lost like ten years ago here, between bus money, helping my mom and buying groceries all my money practically vanishes right at the beginning of the month.

I hope you can get back to college soon, it's really worth the effort and time in the end, but that's still only if you want to and if you feel like you want to get back to it, and it's understandable if you don't want to, I know how stressing it can be and even more when you have to think about dealing with student loans. Thankfully we don't have that kind of thing here, and public colleges are even better than paid ones so anyone can enroll. I don't know what it would be like for you, but if it's anything like what it is for me I can totally understand. I only have to buy the material to study since I don't pay for the actual college, but I still need a job to do that because it's a ton, and even though I only work two days a week it still slows down how many courses I can sign up for and actually pass in the end, not to mention being tired from a long routine and even having to put up with an hour or more of commuting, because I live in the outskirts of the city.

It's okay! I barely talk to anyone here too so I understand if you take time to reply, and you're not being rude at all! We all have our own timetables to deal with from day to day too, and sometimes we just want to do something else when we have some free time instead of going into MAL and replying to a bunch of comments, even more when we don't do a lot on the site either. So don't worry about it, take your time to reply and do it whenver you feel like it!
And speaking of the Tri movies now, holy shit was the last one terrible. I know the series was just a cash grab from Toei and that it wasn't going to be that good, but man, I felt so insulted at the end, even more than I did with the 4th movie (they always manage to undermine Sora's character even more with every series). What about you? Did you finish watching them already?
