Hi~ welcome to my page. Feel free to look around and leave a message if you wanna chat~
Hey there~ You can call me Charisu. I'm a university student. I occasionally watch anime or play some games, although not nearly as much as I used to in the past. But I'm still quite into Vocaloid / voice synthesizer music. Also for reasons that are a mystery even to myself, I'm somewhat knowledgeable about VTubers.
I'm really bad at keeping things short but at the same time I find the idea of writing big texts super daunting lol. If I ever do not reply to things, please do not feel bad about it. About 80% of the time it's just me procrastinating for ages...
Nowadays, I prefer stories that are in a somewhat realistic setting, but just different enough to take you out of your ordinary life. Drama and some mysterious events are exciting, as long as things don't end up grim - happy ending please! Sci-Fi over Fantasy all the way. But, in the end, genre does not matter as long as the work itself is of high quality. Always stay open to new things. (In the past I was way more into dark, dark narratives, but I guess I've mellowed out over the years lol)
Anyways, thank you for visiting my profile~ I hope you have a wonderful day/night~

This makes it sound like you already have some replies prepared but because I haven’t replied to them you didn’t send them. Is this some kind of trap card situation? HAHAHAHA I mean it is really a very long message just looking through our past messages briefly I actually wonder how much time we’ve spent on them individually just reading them takes time :O
I mean, we have pretty much focused on ourselves over such an extended period of time pretty much a break one would say so perhaps it was foreshadowed in our conversations by intuition rather than purposeful actions though in hindsight it must’ve been a pretty funny conversation.
HAAHAHA well, having a gift that was done specifically for me is always a treat, to me it was one of the best gifts ever because it is special.
Come to think of it, with your new computer you should be able to play Bioshock now right? Time to test your new mouse along with it then. I do have a series of Nendoroids and a bunch of Miku figures, though Nendoroids are so expensive….. when I was in Japan it really opened my third eye knowing how cheap some figures can go and how overpriced it is outside of Japan so now I’m really mindful of my spending especially when the prices range so outrageously. But yes everything is in one piece and when I shift house sometime next year I’ll finally get to display all of my figures and books hahahaa.
Well moral of the story, people are often more concerned about themselves first, thereafter they become concerned with how other people view them. I think when it really boils down to it no matter our intentions, we would still prioritise what we want to do or what we are seeking. It just sucks that sometimes even good intents can become malicious when harnessed the wrong way. That being said, it is not an excuse to just ignore someone. I’ve done it, guilty towards many different people but…. If they’re willing to still be friends I’m always more than happy to indulge and it so happens with a little give and take we’re still fantastic friends till this day.
I can’t remember but probably just 1-2 years under the limit? But because I always have such a mischievous look when I was younger it didn’t take a genius to weed our the imposter and instantly they’re like bro get outta here. But I was with my Family so I guess it was kinda funny, though I had a good meal on my way back to the cabin. I’ve always been fascinated by cards and poker. I don’t gamble though HAHAHA I just like the game, it wasn’t a matter of if it would work I just wanted to see and I couldn’t, but when I finally could it really isn’t anything special.
Well you’re finally a University Student you’re definitely at a stage where you’re wholly independent over your actions and you’re more than welcomed to actually take charge of your life and really venture forward into new frontiers, affording such a lifestyle however is where the real challenge lies but with enough drive you’ll make it happen it just depends on how much you really want to pursue what you want. I’ll admit, my life has been a very comfortable one, I love my family it is probably the most important thing to me, we aren’t perfect but at least I can safely say that I’m blessed everyday with a loving home filled with lots of laughter and fun maybe that’s why I am as easy going as I am. It is probably due to my upbringing and environment. Not a flex or anything, I’m just happy that as I grew up I realised how lucky I am which is why I try my best to be a nice person wherever possible and just being a decent person to the people around me. Which makes it possible for me to meet amazing people like you 😊
HAHAHA the environment in Singapore isn’t as easy going breaking the rules does incur dire consequences and drugs here are a big no-no it is like death penalty no-no. I MEAN, different people have different priorities right?? HAHA
Yep which is why, when people are just being nice we tend to overthink and it becomes a problem when our feelings are not reciprocated this festers and becomes something unhealthy. I’ve definitely faced something like this before but I think ultimately, if people are genuinely interested in one another they’ll always try to learn and know more about the person they’re interested in and I think that genuine affection almost never lies at least unless something better appears.
Well you’re definitely doing better than me so you should focus on what you want to do before you stop being able to do them. Time waits for no one after all. As for being able to speed time up or slowing it down it is a debatable topic indeed. Mainly because there are merits in both but I suppose if I had to choose slowing time would be better since time waits literally for no one right? We can’t possibly stop time because even if we did we couldn’t really do anything can we? Everything just stops, so if I could slow time down I could do more of what I want and love to do and achieving things that I want to achieve with more leeway. Speeding things up is fun because it helps us foresee or perhaps reduce the necessity of waiting but in life sometimes waiting, simply waiting is the right answer and rushing is actually a bad thing so there are definitely good and bad but ultimately dependent on what we intend to do with the abilities or powers that we are given. That being said, you have also answered a good part of your question it really depends on why such options exists it also depends on the individual’s state of mind, if you’re suffering obviously you’d want it to end, but if you’re enjoying yourself you’d wish to prolong such bliss.
We’re both actually super similar in this regard I do have an idea of what I want to do but I’m not exactly passionate about it. I just oftentimes take things as they come rather than be proactive about it. That is something that I personally feel that I need to work on too but I mean you still have time, you don’t have to do anything major but just thinking about it helps. Yep, you need to enjoy what you’re doing and everything else will come naturally just be confident in yourself that’s the most important thing.
HAHAHA well putting yourself in a challenging position sometimes does wonders and in this case it looks like it did. Being able to write freestyle is the best feeling ever because the words just flow like water and the best part it is a consistent style of writing that naturally feels like a treat to read. That sounds like a very interesting concept altogether, why did they extract pectin out of apples? To make Jam?
Well… hahaha I am pretty lucky, so maybe I had some ability to succeed in class but ultimately there are so many individuals far better than me. The professor just really liked me I suppose, but I’m grateful to her nonetheless it really sparked my interest towards strategy further but more importantly it is always such a fun thing to experience new things. Working at Unilever even for a brief period of time really expanded my perspective and changed my entire outlook towards marketing and it is something that’ll stick with me forever.
I mean…. Are you actually getting offened when people are being considerate to you? HAHAHAHA SEL-CHAN WHAT? I remember a time where I would never remove my earpiece and the people around me got really annoyed because it’s like I’d rather listen to music than them and they told me “bryan take those earpieces out right now and listen to our onversation!” It was quite funny, but looking back I must’ve seemed really rude to them but I PROBABY WAS LOL. But yes, it is common courtesy to not listen to music when you’re with people I guess? Or at least not entirely, 1 ear is fine too if you’re able to hear them properly instead of being distracted by the music but yes it is ACTUALLY A GOOD THING for people to not listen to music when hanging out with you because….. they’d rather engage in conversation than listen to music isn’t that a good thing? HAHAHAHAHAH SOMEHOW I feel like you’re just baiting me with such a troll question. NAUGHTY SEL-CHAN.
It depends on individual-by-individual but ultimately people are empathetic unless you give them reason not to be. When I mean fail, not so much as disastrous mistakes but rather “Human Errors” in a sense that a mistake or error that could’ve/would’ve been done by them as well. Instead of big problems that affects the lives of others that’s something else entirely. E.g., Messing up a speech during a ceremony can be relatable, but implementing a disastrous policy that damages livelihoods isn’t.” there are positions in life where mistakes should not be easily forgiven and others that are harmless other than losing some pride. Ultimately it depends on the gravity of the situation but people at their core tries to be understanding unless well they are that jaded and disinterested to reach such a state requires lots of mental hardening and pretty much becoming someone that only sees numbers rather than people.
No idea, but for me I played computer in a very dark room and my degree got reduced by half. So it depends on the individual even opticians can’t give me a clear cut answer they are as confused as me apparently. Technically with advanced technologies today using a laser can actually improve your eyesight such as Lasik. I do wear glasses when I’m working or doing something serious I just don’t have them on all the time and when at home. Besides I love my current glasses frame HAHAHAHA so yes I do wear glasses I’m not completely resistant to it otherwise I’d lose my ability to focus and see things HAHAHAHA.
Alright alright, I get it I’ll listen to my かわいい妹 and use glasses more consistently. So one day when we do meet you’re not meeting a blind person HAHAHAHAHA. Now that would’ve been another fascinating story altogether. But I hope your eyesight is getting better too.
HAHAHA WELL. I GUESS THAT’S TRUE, IN A WAY. But it really isn’t a competition if possible I’m sure everyone who wants to do well can do well it just so happens that in societies we need to have standouts and these are the results. But getting good grades isn’t a good indicator of the caliber of an individual it is certainly one form of measurement but it is insufficient.
That is quite funny that you’re the one that decides the treatment and punishment since well you’re roleplaying as judge, jury and execution at this point. I could do everything right and still be wrong HAHAHAHAH but yes if you ever visit Singapore just tell me, we’d hang out often. Kinda sucks that we couldn’t when I was in China but what can you do right? Do you really get salty over teasing? I thought it’d be a different reaction hahahaha.
Well perhaps it was amazing but ultimately opportunities are everywhere having more does not necessarily mean that it is a good thing sure having more options is ideal but choosing the right option is better. Ultimately, I never regretted my choices but I wonder if I only had 1 choice would things be different? But I still wouldn’t change anything. Yea I think that’s the same in Singapore but competitiveness is prevalent in all parts of the world if you measure up you don’t have to worry about it and ultimately it is dependent on our willingness to fight and pursue the things that we really want.
Well, I applied for a double degree they just didn’t offer it to me and I didn’t try to re-apply for it. I probably should’ve because I loved Social Sciences and Politics it is a missed opportunity but ultimately I’m still happy that I didn’t because the workload is tremendously painful and I think I would be a very different person today I wouldn’t have been an ExCo in the Japanese Culture Club and missed many other amazing opportunities along the way. But perhaps things would’ve been vastly different too but no point thinking about that now I suppose.
I HAVE BEEN TO JAPAN HAHAHAHA ON EXCHANGE FOR 5 MONTHS THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE, though I am desperate to go back again. I miss my friends T_T Pretty sure you’re also having the time of your life in China, it is a very nice place too, though nothing beats Japan but still China has amazing food, friendly people and well I suppose among other things good technology, nice sceneries, cheap transport etc. Please continue to enjoy your time as an exchange student it is really perspective-shaping.
It was a painful thing to experience and because of my frail lungs I often suffer badly from cough especially when it escalates into bronchitis. But yea well it was still a pretty good grade all things considered but I dropped 16 places in school ranking because of that LOL HAHAHAHA that was so funny, because I would’ve definitely won a medal had I not been lazy and just asked my lecturer to guide me for missing lessons for like 2 hours. I could’ve made it happen, but I chose not to.
HMMM? Sounds like someone wants to be interrogated, since you’re asking me to probe. How are things going with you and your boyfriend? Have any fun adventures lately? Online or the like? STILL THE FACT THAT HE HASN’T VISITED YOU IN CHINA IS ACTUALLY CRIMINAL. I think ultimately it depends on the people you talk to I suppose, if people are genuinely interested in the conversation they will want to extend it no matter what. But also if people don’t want to they’ll try to end it no matter how hard you try to extend it. The safer option is to just leave it open-ended that way you’re not killing the conversation. Trying to appease people by telling them what they want to hear is good if you want to gratify yourself with them in a way but ultimately if that’s all then yes the conversation can become a little boring and eventually the conversation dies so try to spice things up if you’re enjoying the conversation with someone instead of telling them what they want to hear, ask them what you want to know.
HAHAHAH EXACTLY, I’ve almost stopped using MAL because most of my friends have shifted onto a more accessible platform to chat on. There are still a few people here that I keep in contact with but I don’t think it’ll last for long since I’ll probably abandon MAL sooner or later I just use it to catalogue stuff now anyways. But yea it is ironic that we’re still chatting on MAL and our replies are so long I wonder if people even bother reading them if they have 0 context but it is still quite funny.
Yea that’s true sometimes you just need to wing it and see the outcome HAHAHAH preparation is important though, so if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail so to speak and that is actually very true. Winging it works when you already have a fantastic grasp over the content you’re trying to talk about but if you’re not you’ll actually get demolished so badly you wouldn’t know where to hide. It can be quite horrifying.
Mathematics and sciences train our problem solving skills, being good at languages actually trains our emotional quotient because understanding nuances and enunciations are important aspects of this medium of learning they both train IQ and EQ respectively and ultimately a person good at both almost always tends to be a genius. But yes, if you’re untested it is nearly impossible to know if you’re good at them at all but you’re probably proficient in it, just not an expert. But being an expert isn’t necessary for most things in life, we just need to be decently good at something not the best we’re not perpetually stuck in a rat race after all.
Awww thank you ^_^ I really appreciate you saying that hahahaha though even I sometimes realise that I try to use advanced words when there is little reason to do so. Perhaps it is just to finesse things up abit but honestly communication is just that, being able to understand one another if we try to impress the other person too much it becomes a chore for them to keep up and then it loses all meaning altogether. So perhaps it is best to just use simple language and enjoy the conversation altogether. But I really love and appreciate the fact that you’ve mentioned that it makes me happy hehe. But the feelings mutual, chatting with you sometimes makes me realise new insights too and gaining a different perspective and point of view. It also enables me the chance to reflect on what I’ve said so it really is fun for me too back then and even now. I’m glad that these banal chats along the way have helped you in anyway HAHAHAHAA always happy to help but more importantly having fun along the way. You’ve certainly also helped me to sharpen my English through our chats and that’s something I treasure deeply.
Friend A’s theme makes me emotionally vulnerable because of the scenes that deeply etched in my mind. The overarching narrative wasn’t as emotional as I had thought but I think that’s because it was overhyped. Clannad till this day is the gold standard for romance for me and it is also the saddest, nothing else comes close. Anohana is sad, but not at the level of Clannad and 5CM per Second is good too but also not comparable to Clannad. Similarly to Shigatsu, they are all different anime genres trying to tie into the same troupes of romance and tragedy but they all have unique selling points. They just all individually lacked the secret sauce of what Clannad. Have you not watched Shigatsu? Then you should, I think you’d love it hahaha.
Ahhh Vivy, I was supposed to watch that but I haven’t really gotten to it :X so dead I’m like stuck in a rut with all these new anime releases and old stuff that I keep backlogging I really need to resume my watch list before the mob comes for my head HAHAHAHA.
I think it’s absolutely lovely how music alongside the animations and voice acting all come together to create a true masterpiece, from the story, to the characters, development of the narrative and progression of the characters, their individual traits all work hand in hand to create something memorable and that’s the true beauty of it. Listening to the music, the ability of that piece to evoke emotions is the true art behind all the magic that makes Anime such a powerful medium for storytelling and that’s something only true fans will come to appreciate.
Now I need to add Vivy to my “bumped queue HAHAHAHA” thanks for that Sel! Jokes aside, I’ll probably watch it if you recommend it to me.
Since this is such a late reply for here’s a Miku welcoming you back on MAL hahaha

I mean, we have pretty much focused on ourselves over such an extended period of time pretty much a break one would say so perhaps it was foreshadowed in our conversations by intuition rather than purposeful actions though in hindsight it must’ve been a pretty funny conversation.

But the feelings mutual, chatting with you sometimes makes me realise new insights too and gaining a different perspective and point of view. It also enables me the chance to reflect on what I’ve said so it really is fun for me too back then and even now. I’m glad that these banal chats along the way have helped you in anyway HAHAHAHAA always happy to help but more importantly having fun along the way. You’ve certainly also helped me to sharpen my English through our chats and that’s something I treasure deeply.
Friend A’s theme makes me emotionally vulnerable because of the scenes that deeply etched in my mind. The overarching narrative wasn’t as emotional as I had thought but I think that’s because it was overhyped. Clannad till this day is the gold standard for romance for me and it is also the saddest, nothing else comes close. Anohana is sad, but not at the level of Clannad and 5CM per Second is good too but also not comparable to Clannad. Similarly to Shigatsu, they are all different anime genres trying to tie into the same troupes of romance and tragedy but they all have unique selling points. They just all individually lacked the secret sauce of what Clannad. Have you not watched Shigatsu? Then you should, I think you’d love it hahaha.
Ahhh Vivy, I was supposed to watch that but I haven’t really gotten to it :X so dead I’m like stuck in a rut with all these new anime releases and old stuff that I keep backlogging I really need to resume my watch list before the mob comes for my head HAHAHAHA.
I think it’s absolutely lovely how music alongside the animations and voice acting all come together to create a true masterpiece, from the story, to the characters, development of the narrative and progression of the characters, their individual traits all work hand in hand to create something memorable and that’s the true beauty of it. Listening to the music, the ability of that piece to evoke emotions is the true art behind all the magic that makes Anime such a powerful medium for storytelling and that’s something only true fans will come to appreciate.
Now I need to add Vivy to my “bumped queue HAHAHAHA” thanks for that Sel! Jokes aside, I’ll probably watch it if you recommend it to me.
Since this is such a late reply for here’s a Miku welcoming you back on MAL hahaha

Well you know what they say, nothing lasts forever more so for good things. Your presence on MAL is always a welcome surprise :)
Though I haven't exactly been active here ever since my exchange to Japan I just occasionally update my list. Though I feel really bad for leaving people on read for such a long time. Then again.......... I can't even remember who I haven't replied lol.
New Semester new you, I suppose HAHAHAHA. Then again it is always about prioritising what you deem is most important if MAL is too much of a distraction, then definitely take a break from it.
Well if it's any indicator it just shows that I'm perhaps resistant to change in a way. Being familiar provides comfort hahahaahha.
SEEMS LIKE YOU STILL GOT WAYS TO GO. "SMH" SUCH A BLATANT ACT OF DEFIANCE. Punishment is on its way. 覚悟しなさい
Well, people often get caught up with what's immediately in front of them and they often lose sight of whats important and for me, that is just being happy. Doing whatever be it studying, working, etc. If we're not happy why do we even bother in the first place? That being said, there's nothing wrong with chilling your room because...... EVERYONE DOES IT. Saving the environment sounds noble but really it isn't something base consumers can solve since giant corporations easily outpace us in terms of the amount of pollution they engage in, you should know it better than me given your environment :P HAHAHA but it's ironic your home in the EU is pro-environment but your current place of residence is Profit-Driven at the expense of the environment so honestly you'll obtain such a clear dual perspective that you can easily be an environmentalist consultant and that's just the tip of the iceberg of opportunities waiting for you to seize, you only have to reach out and grab it.
I want more music recommendations please T_T give me more. Although I love listening to old stuff, sometimes it's just better to expand my library you know? HAHAHAHA also I'll probably ask some of my Japanese friends to introduce some of their favourites to me too. Though some of the older songs that you've shared with me I think they're still some of my favourites to this day.
Well keep your room cool and you'll be safe. PROBABLY.
I think, not so much a failure of a Miku fan but rather knowing the joys that there are so many different types of content available out there. You should instead feel inspired that our similar hobbies has such amazing reach so much so that even when we've thought we've seen everything there is still something that surprises us.
The way you made your classmate sound like he got Isekaied or something LOL you make Azur Lane sound like a taboo topic that led to his disappearance XD I downloaded the game in the past but never really played it then again there are so many different types of Gacha games yet so few that actually stick. It all boils down to individual preference and the quality of what is being offered. Still, I think it's cool that people find ways to connect their individual hobbies to a larger subgroup altogether. It just shows how hobbies in a way are interlinked.
Found this by accident and really loved the beat.

とてもかわいい!!

Miss Ika, (WHAT a RARE VISITOR ON MAL) after such a long Hiatus. I thought for sure you'll never appear here again :P I guess even I can be wrong at times. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Loving the new profile updates and stuff, but nothing beats the first iteration afterall that's the first you I've come to know and love.
Thank you very much for your well wishes I really appreciate it, yes embrace the cringe HAHAHA but I feel those words hold less weight when you're the one CAUSING THE CRINGE. WOULD'VE BEEN ALRIGHT IF YOU, MAYBE USED ABIT MORE TACT HERE. But I jest.
I've been having a good rest lately, still taking things easy and working a little on the side taking breaks as necessary.
Likewise I hope everything works out for you too! Your study journey is coming to a close soon, every day a new adventure awaits! I hope you enjoy every moment of it ^^
ALSO, you know I can't resist Miku HAHAHAHAH thank you so much I love it hahahahahaha. I feel like you've sent me this song before because I have it on my phone HAH and most of my Miku songs were introduced to you so you fueled part of my obsession with Miku. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY CHARISU-CHAN.
I hope you're keeping well! Hit me up anytime you want to chat okay! But that might be a problem since you'll probably soon be swarmed by people who want to talk to you. HAHAHAHA

Yeah, I can imagine, personally haven't encountered too much weirdos, probably because mostly weirdos are straight male incels who think they can get away with being gross online to girls.
Yup, easy to find friends here and talk to people :D Just type a comment and 99% of the time, you'll get a response back. Did you make a lot of friends?
Sounds stupid but I dropped angle grinder on my thigh, cut through my flesh like a butter. Weirdly enough that wasn't my most painful experience, I definetly thought getting cut like that would hurt a lot but no. What's your most painful experience if I can ask for curiousity sake?

xD Yeah, I was in construction work but after that incident, they didn't want to trust me with any equipment anymore and in my previous work I was also construction worker but I damaged my nerves around my neck, had migraines for a month or two and had to be on sick leave then they didn't want me anymore, rip. construction work is not for me How is university treating you?
What are you even studying in uni? And where were you planning to study abroad? You should try it, I know it seems scary but the experiences you'll gain and chances like that don't pass up often when you're in your 20s, most adults just work their ass off to pay bills instead of travelling somewhere but yeah, good luck to you~~

Hello !! Hope you're doing well ;) Well i guess i'm the one who is sorry. I've been really busy wish school
Are you an early person or are you someone who prefers to take your time to get out of bed ?
Ohh that's impressive that you manage to speak so much language. How have you been able to learn all of them ?
Don't hesitate to speak in french, i know it's a very difficult language to learn and when a foreigner speak french it's always look cool and adorable that someone put effort to speak it . Are you an introvert person ?
I'm in an international school and there is a lot of foreign students here so i must adapt to them by speaking in english or spanish .
I have different plan, like maybe i own an appartment in Paris for work and then find a secondary home near Paris to relax with a huge garden .
Paris is so stressful that you can"t manage to live their and plus everything it's expensive.
Btw have you travel a lot ? And if so which country have you visited ?
Yes my real name is Jérémy , but to be honest i'm not that worried if someone find my real identity. I understand also your worries about that like there are some weird person sometimes.
But if i have already met some person from MAL in irl and everything happens well , plus i have give my real social media to some person to continue chatting haha
See you

Das einzige woran ich mich so recht erinnere ist gegen Ende, wo Ciel Claudes "Heer" war und Sebastian richtig depressed davon wirkte, er hat mir sooo leid getan und es war irgendwie sooooo cute!! Wie man merkt gehörte ich zur Sebastian Fraktion, jedoch bröckelt das etwas seit ich den Manga Lese und älter werde und langsam realisieren muss, er ist immer noch ein Teufel XD er ist nicht nett XDD
Ich mochte alle Book of Reihen unfassbar sehr! Kann ich nur empfehlen, aber Book of Circus hatte nochmal so einen gewissen Humor den ich unfassbar geliebt habe und das Opening war einfach nur awesome!!
Waren nur so kleine Rand Geschichten an sich, aber die gingen deeper auf gewisse charakter ein, wie Takebayasha oder die Klassensprecherin. Nagisa is schon richtig cute, ich gehöre aber mehr zu den Karma Lovern XDD
Ich kann Soul Eater auf jeden Fall nur empfehlen XD
Mal sehen wie sich das mit Disney und Anime entwickelt. Je nachdem bekommen die von mir vielleicht mal ein Abo... wer weiß XD Crunchyroll ist schon Luxus etwas das stimmt. Ich habe es mir irgendwann geholt, weil ich mir dachte BOA dann is Werbung weg, es ist legal, 90% der Season läuft meist eh da. Und jetzt habe ich paar Jahre schon Crunchy und bin echt happy XD

Mmmm, naw lol its way too specific, I only ever chatted with one person in the past who knew what it was referencing
Yeah, was talkin with my buddy bout music in general and how its almost a small blessing I don't exist in Japan this timeline because I'd prolly be destitute considering I know I'd be one of those idol otaku's- like straight up I know that would be me, its bad enough with iDolm@ster, don't put it at my doorstep now
Yep- she's with Nijisanji and she's quite sharp and witty too; I've seen a few collabs she did with Otogibara before she retired, was a fun mix of light/dark- Otogibara was super fun and ganky, and she played iDolm@s so was already a fav of mine. Inui definitely has a singing voice tho- her most popular video is a song if I'm not mistaken
I'm doin seasonals right now, so you can feel free to hop on with a tandem watch if you like; am planning to start Summertime Render on Sunday evening, doin four episodes a day until it resolves, and I'm starting Kumichou Musume tonight at a rate of three a night- if you're interested. Summer has been pretty good so far, the stand-out surprise has been AoAshi, the soccer anime; OP gave me chills, and I got emotional on episode 5. Pretty good one ngl
Aria is a transformative series in that it starts with a very mellow iyashikei vibe and then slowly the setting begins to take on this fairy tale atmosphere where it feels like a thin veil covers the city. From there its SoL and coming of age and the massive payoff is the season, The Origination, which is an emotional sledgehammer. Aria is VERY chill and subtle, it builds slowly and you don't really realize it till the OVA moment (before Origination) and you sense what's gonna happen. That show is pretty godlike, but its a mood thing- like, figure something like Mushishi where its very relaxed but engaging at the same time.
Oh wow I had no idea! Damn, then the anime definitely earned its 8/10 status because that was such a great sub-plot and development; this is one of those rare occurrences that you mentioned where the anime surpasses the manga, yeah. Usually its the other way around
Its such a good manga lol literally the guy cooks various foods for his wife to enjoy, and some of the techniques are applicable in rl, so that's fun.
Basically for tandem's it comes down to a start date and an episode rate; my rate is 4's and 3's, so like I'll do 1-4 of a show, next day I'll 5-8, and then 9-12 etc until the show finishes. After a block I'll usually shoot a DM or comment at whoever's watching with me and give thoughts on the episode block. My nightcap show is usually lighter or comedic, and I do 3 a night until it finishes. That pace is usually the best I feel for shows since over the years I've found that it often gives you fun cliffhangers and points of discussion and it keeps the watch interesting.
That's Magical Emi on the surface, but I went a bit further and read actual episode synopsis on wiki and it sounds like this show is going to be much deeper than first glance- the problems are gonna be grounded and relatable; Ojamajou Doremi is my go-to example for shows that seem light at a glance, but the hurdles and content are more mature than you'd ever guess, where its like the show doesn't really pull any punches and is brutally honest.
Writing out little schedules is fun for me, tbh, and I like to do the pairings for shows and plan what will give me a nightly variety. That's also the reason why I do tandem's and let friends know what I'm checking out ahead of time so if it piques interest go for it. I mentioned Render and Kumichou but if there's anything this season that caught your eye but you haven't started just lemme know and 99% of the times its prolly something I was gonna watch anyway lol easy peasy plan a watch rate and boom, done-so.
Ain't no way they are gonna do the first episode the same as the original, no way. So already I know its just gonna be very different- not that I hate that, but its like you say the direction being tailored for a new generation.
Apparently Kazuya is somehow going to crowd fund an independent film for Chizuru and have it filmed, edited, and screened within three months. That's the way the story is going; meanwhile Ruka is gonna be put through the ringer as she tries and tries to no avail, and best girl Mami barely gets any screen time. Yeah I think I'm good on that, unless I hear Mami pulls major gamer moves. The only reason I watched season 2 was because of Mami and Aoi Yuuki's killer performance as the character.
lol Miku appeared in like, every episode of Jashin-chan; show was a fun call back to the early 2000's otaku parody shows and things like Kill Me Baby- always a good time with shows like that.
Sure, absolutely- and as I mentioned take a gander at the Summer shows and if anything strikes you just mention it and I'll be down to watch it, same with the backlog stuff, like if you wanna watch a Precure lol or an 80's mahou shoujo; backlog is more specifc tbh, but its the cherry-picked godlike stuff usually

It was all fun and games lol but I get the feeling of being really proud of good grades.
Ooh Higurashi, I’ll see about getting to that one since I haven’t seen the 2nd season yet.. Procrastination sigh.
I’ve heard a lot about DDLC. I read this before I replied so went ahead and downloaded it and got a good pace going. From what’s going on though, I’d be surprised this was a psychological VN if nobody had told me. (I’m in the early stages after all)
Alrighty then, altho I’m unsure of where to get half of these, uh I’ll guess vndb for prices and such. I do love a yandere plot still, and they seem so rare. Gotcha, should’ve known that’d be the case with all these SoL titles I’ve heard of like Clannad.
Lmao that very specific joke tho, but I agree, they’re monsters.
Will do. I probably should’ve finished DDLC first and replied since it seems the playtime is only 5-6 hrs.. This was going on 5 days on read though, so y’know.. But thanks so much for the recs! I’ll move on with them in that order too probably lol
I see then, well they sure did it in a cute way.. All the sprites just make me go “chuu..” They looked to have quite a bit of the characters already, but yeah like you said I noticed some were missing, like Orca waifu. Since you told me where to get it, I played for a while the other day.
My worst.. didn't think I would be getting smooshed by bread tho..

And, of course, my best. Kiara is so broken lol (And I didn't even get to keep those 4k coins because I have to die instead of "Quit".. sigh.

What's your personal high score btw? Well, if you know.

Oh wow, I didn't realise that I talked to you before, I honestly just found you randomly and was looking for friends to talk to now that I have some free time. :D
Sorry for not replying last time btw but that's cool that I was one of the first people, how has your MAL experience been since then?
Yeeaahhh, I change my username a lot lol. But I have been alright, over year and a half I talked to you last time I already managed to move countries 2 times, worked 3 different jobs and gotten a lifetime scar on my leg. :^) How about you? How have you been? Were you in the university or something? Remind me because I forgot.

Ah ja... Black Butler stimmt... XD
An sich habe ich diesen Anime sehr gefeiert, das ist glaube ich auch schon mehr als 6 Jahre her...? Irgendwie so um den dreh. Ich kann mich an die erste und zweite Staffel kaum erinnern wegen den Abweichungen. Schon recht am Anfang der ersten Staffel ist Black Butler stark abgewichen vom Manga. Die zweite Staffel war auch eine Filler Staffel, aber recht sympatisch und gut, bis auf... den Punkt das ich wirklich... kein Witz... Wirklich allergisch auf Claude reagiere XD Immer wenn ich ihn sehe wird mir schlecht ich weiß nicht warum, ich mag den Typen null xD Aber die Story von Staffel 2 war an sich mega nice!
Und ja dann kamen wie du schon sagtest die Book of-Reihen die allesamt an den Manga angelehnt sind und mir vom ganzen Black Butler Franchise am besten gefallen haben.
Ich frage mich ob mir noch was einfällt neben Black Butler, Blue Excorcist, The Promised Neverland und Fullmetal Alchemist.... Assassination Classroom... Kinda? The make no Filler, but they skipped some lottle chapters. But they are in the OVA. AH!!! Soul Eater!!! Der Anime hat auch ein komplett anderes Ende als der Manga, ich mochte beide aber glaube ich. Ich wusste da war noch ein Anime XD
Man guckt die erste Staffel Blue Exorcist, dann freut man sich auf die zweite. Sieht die zweite.. und direkt... "Warum hassen auf einmal alle wieder Rin?" XDD
Legal.. kann man es wirklich nur auf Disney+ streamen das stimmt. Und ich verstehe immer noch nicht, warum sich Disney Animes gekrallt hat XD

i got into pmmm not too long ago so i haven't really been a part of the wait for as long as other people have, but finding out about movie 4 just recently might be a good thing, i know there are people out there who have been waiting for like a decade since i think it got announced almost immediately after rebellion in 2013... sounds kinda painful if you ask me
