Report Tabbs919's Profile

Hi there , I love that we both like purple haired characters and all animes from all eras 🤭

Also so nice to actually find fairy tail fans !!

I wish you all fun in your anime journey (〃ω〃)

What do you like about my profile?

Heyaa nice to meet you!!
And omg Maomao is really great. I've been reading the manga for some time now and got so excited when teh anime got announced

Hehe yeah I feel ya. Life is too busy though to watch everything at once.
My first anime was One Punch Man back in 2018. A friend introduced it to me. But I only really got into anime around 2020. Been quite a bit of shows since hehe. I personally find it hard to binge in comparison to others. I usually watch from 1 to 5 episodes in a sitting. Depending on the anime. And that's over the course of 3 days, a week or longer.

Ooh, I noticed you like soundtracks. What are your favorite soundtracks?

And the fact you traveled to all continents without a plane is a lie. Right? I actually believe the rhino one. :>

I understand 1000%, both the anxiety and the concern with moneys hahah! I don't know of a place where you can get it for free, but I'm willing to bet you could find videos of different routes on YouTube! For instance, here is a link to the beginning of Kyou's route (I don't know if MAL links to YouTube carry over playlist info, sorry!). In the game you can adjust the text speed, so if you need to mimic that I bet you could adjust the playback speed.



Otherwise I've recently seen the base CLANNAD go on sale, albeit not very much and unfortunately not often, if I remember right. I think it was worth the $45 I spent on it, but you can get it for less with some patience. The bundle being like $200 feels silly, but thankfully you don't need all that. :) Plus if you like what Key does you can always get another one or two of their other VNs later. I've heard good things about most of them from that time!

Some general rules of thumb include these:

1. VNs take a longer time compared to other forms of media (I have roughly 50 hours in CLANNAD and still have one route to go).
2. They can be kinda dry at times - it's essentially like reading a picture book with audio. I love the mixed media genre itself, but it's not a super popular oneand I understand why. You definitely have to take breaks throughout! I find it helps to digest the story and appreciate it a bit more anyway.
3. VNs will typically require a guide to make the 'correct' choices to get each route/ending you desire. These are important, but I always do my first playthrough totally blind - it's a bit of a time sink, sure, but I get enjoyment from it. You can always make a save right before any choices (they give you plenty of save slots), plus you can skip text you've seen before. Both of these make later runs far less repetitive.

Glad to see you've joined the Kyou Crew ;) and SAME when it comes to the favorite slots, having to pick and choose which ones to add/remove is painful. Like, you didn't deserve this little one, I'm sorry ;_; But yes having deeper and more nuanced interactions is a key highlight of the VN, so I definitely recommend it for that aspect too! If you do play the Kotomi route, I recommend also reading the short story "The Dandelion Girl" before you do. The route not only references it directly, but draws lots of themes and messaging from that story, and you just feel more fulfilled going through Kotomi's route with that in the back of your mind.

Anyway, if you get it/watch it have fun! I am just about to play the Nagisa route on the VN (which I did most of on accident anyway before), so afterward I'll probably just watch the rest of CLANNAD and AS. Looking forward to it!

That's nice! Haven't seen it in theaters myself but I could only imagine how unreal it would have been seeing the Third Impact on the big screen. Especially once they go live action lol. And yeahh the ost is legendary.

>How would you describe your relationship with Evangelion?

Well for me, Eva is like top 3 favorite across the board. Like not only in anime, but I'd even say its up there with my favorite live action shows and such. You know its just one of those shows that "hits different" lol like the characters and story are so relatable, and umm how should I say this, it just does things that no other show does. Like trust me bro I have never seen anything like that live action scene in the Third Impact. The moment I saw that for the first time, I was like "ok this is something special" lol.

(Also sorry for deleting your comment lol I pressed it by mistake when editing mine)

Good luck to us :)

I've gotten into the VN far before watching the show itself - and Kotomi is my favorite by far, followed by Kyou. :) I love Kotomi's nuanced story, I can relate to her so much and many of her traits I actually yearn to have myself as a person. And I love how natural Kyou's route feels. Like the friend you realize you have feelings for all along.



And yes Fuko has been a blast. Being a VN player I was wondering how the heck they were going to fit everyone in given that they basically spent 10 episodes on Fuko's storyline, , but then I realized they probably don't hit 2 routes very well since there's OVAs for them sperately anyway.

Kudos! Hope you enjoy afterstory :)

Np man. Yessir. Aight, Ill add it on my ptw. Also how long have you been watching anime?
Well, looking at your favorites. You seem to enjoy emotional anime and philosophical/psychological as well. Pretty Solid. I can think of a couple of anime along that line.

First off I think you might like Madoka Magica. I think it'll be to your tastes for sure.

Another one you might like is Violet Evergarden. Beautiful in it's story and world imo.

Wolf Children. Showcases the struggles of parenting and finding an identity.

Whisper of the Heart. It's my favorite Ghibli Film. This is a personal suggestion hehe.

Last but not least. Girls Last Tour. While it might be slower, it fits perfectly to its themes and story. In a post apocalyptic world.

I hope you enjoy these when you do watch them, and I'd like to know what you think after.

Hmm....it was probably like in my first 20. Watched so many other anime since then, but Eva still remained my number one lol.

Thsnks so much for the add! Your taste in anime and characters is terrific (I love Ritsuko as well and wish I had more room in my faves). Have a great week! ❤️

Thanks for the fr. Fellow Evangelion enjoyer

Thanks for the FR! I've seen you on a number of mutual friend lists so it was nice to get it.

I'm working on Clannad right now - what makes you enjoy Fuuko as a favorite?

Hey, thanks for the friend request. It's too bad we share such few anime. You have any recommendations from what you've watched?
