Hehe, I know. I think I've seen my first anime around the year 1997 and I've been watching it since then, although with breakes that sometimes were several years long, interrupting those breakes with one or two anime titles. ;p Generally speaking I usually have to be in mood and have will to watch something, that in turn must interest me somehow. However, there were some periods in my life as a viewer that I focused mostly on animes and watched them way more frequently than non-Japanese animated shows.

About "animation is for kids", yeah... The country I come from was also like that. Society basically labelled every type of animation as something rather easy in reception with uncomplicated plot if it appeared (sic!), so in other words: something perfect for young children and awkward to be watched by more mature people. It was harsh, because animation is a beautiful medium that can express many artistic techniques, emotions, show something spectacular and complex on a philosophical level. Just as movies, animation have also its genres. There are animations proper to children, some are proper for teens, and some are for adults, some are unique. I found about 98% of that variety in anime. That's one of the reasons why I see Japanese animation as superior to others.

Nice! So apart from entertainement, you might also get some inspiration from various animes, i.e. about artstyle, animation techniques and such.
My artistic skills are not perfect and last time I tried to do something connected with 2D or 3D graphic or animation was years ago, however as a viewer I prefer to watch oldschool-looking animes (or genuinely oldschool, lol), or those with simply original artstyle.

I'm more of anime watcher, although I find reading mangas enjoyable if it is about mangas that are good and/or somehow caught my attention.

My adventure with Japanese animation as a viewer started in 1990s. There are some animes that I watched (or even completed) years ago who are not on my list, so we are in similar situation, though in my case it's not a huge amount to be honest. I need to update it someday. :)

Thank you for accepting my friend request! Nice to meet you too. You have an impressive number of completed animes. :-)

Hi! So glad you were able to read it! The manga really goes deeper into everyone's feelings and circumstances. I love the movie as well, but they had to focus on just one thing instead of telling us everyone's stories... I specially like Sahara's...

Please do check it! My profile picture is from the manga, in fact.

I feel like Koe no Katachi is about forgiveness, no matter what you do. People are complicated, and yet there's a path for them... Something like that. Everyone is willing to forgive. In the end, when the MC is able to look at everyone and see them doing their normal activities, no matter how they act... I mean, still hate the guts of many characters, but I feel like they're all human? Idk.

But I did read the manga before watching the movie, so I already had the characters back stories and such in my mind when I watched it. They had to cut quite a bit to fit in the movie length, so I guess the manga gives a better understanding of everyone... Although I still dislike some of the characters because of what they did/how they acted, Shouko and Shouya decided to forgive them, so I'm okay with that I guess.

Thank you! I use it for most stuff, so you may see me around the Internet. Although I have a few imitators so it's hit or miss if it's me or not.

Dakaretai otoko! Jesus, that sucked. The blonde guy was actually scary with all his jealousy, rapes and aggressive personality in general. I wonder how people can find it sexy. I haven't watched the 2012 adaptation of Ai no Kusabi, but you're right, I had completely forgotten about the attempted rape in Love Stage! I also find Haruki's feelings really realistic... It was very nicely written.

Yeah. Jesus, I'm not ready for the almost-rape scene :( But I'm so glad the author dealed with it so well. I think it was the first time I saw rape shown as a bad thing in yaoi anime...?

Ahh, that's so nice! The song was truly beautiful~ I'm excited for the movie already!

Ah, I couldn't wait and did the same. It takes a lot of time to update too, right? We can only wait... ;; I have been listening to Fuyu no Hanashi non-stop lol

Almost as much as me, then! Are you watching Given? It's nice.

Yeah, toxic masculinity annoys me to no end so that's why I speak up to it.

LMAO thanks

1 - I dont think Banana Fish was that show that you can say the writter made Ash suffer too much on purpose to make viewers care, that is was not a problem I had with the show.

2 - I believe I watched Code Geass S1 and S2 from April 4 to 10th in 2014, so 7 days to watch 50 episodes, definitly enjoyed it ALOT, if I had seen it while airing (almost impossible to), it may had take a bit of the impact.
