@ Z. Long

(^_^) I know that feeling! Totally! I just can't watch some shows aa long as other people are around.
Makes me just feel weird and I can't really enjoy it.

And yes, Black Lagoon was really great as well!
I loved that Chinese woman and the nun! ^^ Oh, and Balalaika! One of my favorite scenes in anime ever was in Black Lagoon. Couldn't find it skimming through but it involved that kid with the chainsaw. (^_^)b

@ HypocriticalLiar

Hey there! I love your name! Way better than mine ;)
I should have thought about it a little longer than just 3 seconds probably.. (^_^“)

I had that feeling back when I played the first MGS game. I thought it was just stupid and boring until I forced myself to play it for an hour or two. Now – after many years – it's still one of my favorite games! Makes me feel nostalgic... ^^

I'm really not up to date when it comes to newer games... Can't keep up with you guys...

See, this is why I have two indoor cats. They can't just run away if you never let 'em outside.

Well our cats ain't the kind to walk on roofs and walls or anywhere outside the garden, sometimes they go do their business there but immediatly comes back afterwards
What happened though is that said travel happened on Saint John, a brazilian holiday with lots of fireworks, bombs and what-not, our dogs absolutely hate those explosions so they got pretty psyched and managed to somehow get inside our house and raised some hell so she probably got scared and ran away

...Well as i was typing this i just got a update, when she ran again today some dude from a nearby building got her and took her with him to pretty much another city, this one lady said she knows the guy and is going to said city tomorrow so she offered to get her back
I'm honestly keeping my hopes low, she could very well run away again there and get lost forever, but if she does come back tomorrow then it'll really be a load off my mind

The one on the left, by the way

@Anon99 I know it so weird unless I choose to watch an anime with a friend I feel unnerved when people can just see whatever I'm watching. Japan is weird and sometimes I can't predict what insanity might happen at that one moment when someone glances over.

One of my favorite scenes from Black Lagoon was from this omake.

@Kyonne Man your cat is cute. I hope you can get her back soon. Whenever my cat bolts away from me I usually have to grab him out from under a car or if I'm lucky he's outside eating the grass.

Now this is just random but what type of music do you guys like? Mine's, pretty much anything that's not country music.

@Kyonne Sweet music dude. It's right up my alley. I like many types of metal including symphonic, thrash, folk, etc. Favorites: Nightwish, Amon Amarth, Eluveitie, Korpiklaani, Sabaton, things of that nature.

Hey everyone !
This is my first post here, and I've never really been on a forum before, so I hope I won't make any mistake. ^^
I really like yuri/shojo-ai and I wanted to talk to it with other people. I'm quite shy and not a native English speaker but I finally made an account. :D
Btw, it's this website which introduced me to yuri. ^^

Welcome! ✌(◕‿-)✌
And don't worry, people are all quite nice here, so no reason to be shy ^^
So, where are you from?

For me, it was this site that made me addicted to yuri manga (^_-)v

@ Z. Long

Ha ha! Yeah! When nothing embarrasing happens – nobody looks – but as soon as a naked girl pops up or some panties are showing people miraculously are there to witness and you immediately feel forced to shout „No, It's not what you think it is!“ Stupid Japanese fanservice... ^^

Oh, I didn't even know that Black Lagoon had an omake... Interesting...
Reminds me of the Marimite omake... That was fun!

@Anon99 maybe someday, when I'm completely bored, I will try to change my mindset. I admit having watched Resident Evil, but it was only because of Milla Jovovich.

that's funny! and I thought I'm weird because I've watched 5-6 horror movies in my life, and only because of other people xD most of them I find senseless, but despite that, when the scary moment comes, I can't help averting my eyes, asking: is it over yet? and then the reply: if you don't like it because it's senseless, why are you so scared... and they laugh, it's annoying!

do you mean tv series? Treetop Cat Rescue on Animal Planet xD more seriously though, I won't mention all the Netflix shows I like, or the ones I like because of the these-two-girls-are-cute-togehter, so the latest I've enjoyed the most are Gotham(just love the Penguin, and seeing the characters portrayed as young), Zoo and How to get away with murder.

don't worry, I don't play any games xD but I loved tetris though, so i'm a dinosaur.

@Kyonne I hope that your cat comes back home safely :) and on seeing the photo, I admit having had the indecent thought of smothering your cats in my embrace. they are irresitible when they are curled up like that, showing off all of their fluff.

@Nykw hello and welcome :) you shouldn't worry really, i suppose many are non-native speakers, new to the forum, or shy, and mistakes are not a bad thing, you learn from them.

@Nykw Hey welcome! Here is pretty much the only place I talk about yuri.

@Anon99 It's also true about playing video games. I think yelling "It's not what it looks like" is rather cliche and incriminating. I usually breath in and sit there waiting until they say or do something. If I'm lucky, we never talk about it again.

I didn't know that there was an omake for Black Lagoon until my friend showed them to me. I never saw Marimite because I couldn't get into the visual style.

Speaking of games with stupid, japanese fanservice. Senran Kagura is like, really cringey in that regard.

I never understood why the latter is still on tv and how the first one manages to be so successful... People must be deaf... and blind...

Probably because they work with easy to digest humor. "Humor". You don't have to be very smart to laugh about "Women are stupid, AMIRITE GUYS?" jokes so he speaks to a pretty broad audience, Like, stupid people. They're a pretty broad audience,
Didn't know Pocher was still a thing though,

I see you are a friend, not a foe unlike some people cough Gengar cough

Dunno about this thread itself, but as for me, I'm dying inside. A few more days till I get the results of my finals exams, and around 4 more days to apply for a uni (we don't have separate entry exams here), which's been making my life a hell on earth for almost two months. Hard time falling asleep, feeling exhausted in spite of sleeping 10 - 12 hours a day, mood swings and being unable to drop sleeping pills if you're as dumb as me - if you want any/all of those symptoms, don't worry, applying for a uni got you covered. Been neglecting reading for the past 4 months, which means I now have the time to catch up with my good ol' pal Dostoevsky. Oh, and then there's the CAE exam, of which results I'm yet to be given. I do hope that this rollercoster ride will be over as soon as possible.

For anyone wondering, I'm almost 21. And yes, I'm going straight to the uni, no breaks.

Switching to games, I usually stick to Western titles only, but I;ve found one on the last winter sale on Steam which I actually enjoy (granted, this is one of those scenarios of "buy while drunk, play while very drunk) - Koi - Koi Cards for -90% on Steam (1 Euro). Having played more than 4 hours of that game, I still don't get it fully.

Well, since we're on the topic of music, I'm a fan of punk/new wave, rock ballads and pop-rock. Recently been addicted to New Order (I swear, the content of their song is much different to what their name suggests..) - as much as I appreciate Ian Curtis' talent, I'm not really found of Joy Division, although anything past 1990 is more of a mixed bag. When it comes to punk, I'm mostly found of The Clash (from London Calling to the rest of their albums save Cut the Crap).
Also, I'm not ashamed to say that I prefer Genesis under Phil Collins. Sorry Peter Gabriel.

Yay! Another New Wave and Synthpop lover! Great! ~(‾▿‾~)(~‾▿‾)~

New Order is awesome!
I also love Blondie, The Human League and Depeche Mode!

I always preferred The Sex Pistols but The Clash is also great when it comes to classic Punk!
I just wish I could have been there back in the 1970s... (-̩-̩__-̩-̩)

Now tell me some of your favorite songs! Pretty please! (◦’ںˉ◦)

Oh and good luck with your results! I hope you aced your exams!

@ Blackkitty

No reason to change your mindset! ^^
Most horror movies are crap anyways...
Oh, and Milla Jovovich is kinda sexy, isn't she...? (◦’ںˉ◦)
YAY for Zombie Trash! (^_^)/

Yeah... I meant TV/Web Shows... I don't know. Times have changed maybe the name as well... ;)

Hah! I loved the first season of How to get away with Murder! Still have to watch the second season... Is that one just as good? Have you seen it yet?
I also watched a few episodes of Gotham. It was good but not so good that I wanted to watch them all at once! ^^ But I plan to continue eventually...
As for me, I loved Breaking Bad, the first few seasons of Dexter, Six Feet Under (back in the day), Dead like me, House of Cards, True Detectives, American Crime, Hannibal, Fargo, Better Call Saul, the first seasons of Homeland and also The Returned was pretty good... the original french version, I mean...
Just a few, you know... ^^

Come on, tell me about your favorite couples!!! Promise I won't tell anyone! ;P

@ oliver

I'm post-school, post-uni... post-mortem ^^

@ Z. Long

I didn't like Maria-sama ga Miteru much either. However, the omake was really fun because the producers proved their sense of humor with that. Showed that they didn't take the show as serious as it sometimes felt to me. So they basically knew that it was just silly sometimes... ;)

@ OriginalGengar

Oh... the Original Gangster is back in da hood! (Forgive me, please!)
Well... I'm stupid as well but just not stupid enough for Mario Barth, luckily! ^^b

Thanks! I like Sex Pistols as well, but I've been slowly growing out of punk as of recent. Dead Kennedys, The Ramones.. most of the punk bands became too monotonous for me taste as of late, Iggy Pop's one of the exceptions. I'm fond of older Depeche Mode, not too familiar with their newer works. Can't believe I forgot about Blondie, I was even listening to Heart of glass while writing that message. The Human League I'm not very familiar with - the few things that I've heard from them were very enjoyable, plus I really like Philip Oakey's vocals. The thing is, I've made the transition to focus on artists and not album compilations etc. a while ago, which means I have horrible lacks in quite a feq artists' audiographies.

Favourite songs? I'd have to make it a top 1000 list. Will shorten it to a few that come to my mind spontaneously.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnGGkluWtrE Bizzare Love Triangle,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYH8DsU2WCk Blue Monday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J66Zsu04HEw and Perfect Kiss by New Order.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYMCLz5PQVw Mandatory Dave Bowie, although I want to list here many more of his songs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5Zpmaz2OKE Alas, but for Dire Straits. Always fun to sing when playing Guitar Hero drunk with friends at a gaming pub.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRFQVMJf5eI Well, it's Kate Bush. Nothing else needed to be said.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ41hqlV0Kk Rod Stewart.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rgepWg4rzw Something a bit slower. - recently "discovered" 10cc, but this was the song that has introduced me to the band.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT4d1LQy4es Don't know the rest of Allanah Myles' songs, but Black Velvet brings great nostalgia to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raNGeq3_DtM Foreigner's also pretty high on my list. I believe this is "the" song when it comes to them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vHvzybkqfo One of the best riff's to songs ever. London Calling by The Clash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oiqx0MonOHU Not really a favourite one, but I feel like I need to throw this album up here, since The Rumjacks are underrated.

Honorary mentions go to The Alan Parsons Project, Billy Joel, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Daft Punk, Deadmau5, The Doors, A Flock of Seagulls, Gary Numan, Genesis, Giorgio Moroder, Hall & Oates, Phil Collins, Pink Floyd, The Police, Queens of the Stone Age, R.E.M, Scorpions,Toto and The Who - those are the artists that I have the most songs of on my mobile phone (had to check the artist list, hence this list being so messy/random). Besides Scorpions, Rammstein and Die Toten Hosen are the only German bands that come to my mind as of now.

Do you have a PSN or Steam account I could add you on? This extends to everyone else too~

If you're still up, feel free to add me on Steam (don't own any consoles tho).

Oh gosh, I've missed that comment, I'm sorry. I remember considering getting myself a labcoat having finished the series. I even found the right shop, but the prices were too high. On a positive note, I fell in love with Dr. Pepper and I always take a few bottles of it to anime convents with me.
SZS was a great series, really liked the black sense of humour, plus all of those songs were so darn addicting. I need to rewatch that series. Kafuka was such a great character! Let's pretend that the manga ending's never happened
