Honestly? She was married to a woman who was controlling AF and wouldn't let her partake of her hobbies or things she liked. They're no longer together as of about 6 months ago so she's starting to get back into things she sorely missed. Anime just happens to be one of them. :)

Well contrary to common believe just because something is popular or considered classic, doesn't mean everyone saw it. Also there are people who got born after it was created or were too young to watch it when it was popular, so those people would most likely watch something what was popular when they were teens rather than something older fans remember and liked. They could simply not be interested in watching it at the time as well.

^ I only first watched it around 4 years ago so it's not like I was horribly in the loop then either.

My circumstances were very similar to my friend's; my spouse for 12 years made it difficult for me to enjoy the things I liked so I've missed out on a lot of anime that people assume I should have seen already lol

Well I'm right now grinding bonds in Fire Emblem Heroes. Have maxed out Emmeryn and Mustafa. Only two more to go then I'm done with it. Current team for grinding is Palla: Sisterly Trio, Hinata: Samurai Groom, Veronica: Brave Princess, and Byleth (F): Proven Professor.

True! there were times where I got too into it and thought that I was awakening to the truth of life itself

OOF

PS5 conference was kinda disappointing tbh. Idk maybe its the fact that they started with freaking GTA 5 increased my standards.
"The biggest leap between generations" no, it isn't. I know its just reveal trailers but eh....

I'm curious about RE VIII and Horizon the most but not super hyped or anything.
and the console is uglier than Xbox fridge, HOW?!WHY?!

Y's Celceta is sure fun. I just got the PS4 version of the game yesterday and having beaten a few of the quests and explored around the main town. Only two characters in my party right now, but I'm sure more will join once I get farther out.

I went and finally bought DQ11 S since it's discounted. And strawberry vinegar also discounted...might buy seabed since its ALSO discounted. Kinda wish the other more expensive yuri VNs were also discounted. Talking about the Switch summer sale btw.

I also spent an unhealthy amount of time looking up MadoHomu stuff and I'm surprised by the lack of Luminous like seriously, it was huge when Rebellion came out then...nothing? How odd.


Oops didnt notice the gallery update. Saved tomorrow.

Thanks so much for sharing that! I didn't really pay attention to anything but I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more of that game, now!

There's one thing I was wondering about, but I really don't want to make a new thread only to see it get two replies and die. At least if I don't get any replies here it will get buried, heh.

So are you guys nerdy/passionate about something other than manga, anime and video games? Do you spend your free time reading about history, getting involved in political activism, listening to music? It doesn't come up much here on the forums for obvious reasons, but I was curious.

My thing is photography, for example.

^ If there's anyone here that's super into history, it'd be me. I can't go 24 hours without at least a 10 minutes of watching or reading history, and I even occasionally translate some of the stuff I read or watch.
I still follow mapping series, but less regularly than before, watching mostly when a mapper I'm subscribed to makes a new video.
As for watching political stuff, I'm have random on and off periods for those, and for political activism, I'm only occasionally doing anything minor or peripheric (though I tend to get some outbursts of propaganda-spewing from time to time. Case in point - just look at my Dynasty Reader post history this last half year or so - you're bound to find some anarchist propaganda in there).
Otherwise, I also just spend time on the Legacy and Dynasty discord servers, and, if not participating in a conversation, then at least reading whatever most recent few dozen posts of it, if it even managed to grow that far by the time I came to check in.
I also love listening to music, with a general preference for instrumental pieces over songs. But, when there are songs, I just love singing them, even if I'm just there alone walking down the street with many strangers in earshot.
And, of course, starting tomorrow, I should be starting writing chapter 1 of The Story of Zadura and Odlega from my History of Aressia. Speaking of which, if anyone can teach me which site and how to upload it when it's complete, contact me here, so I'll know for it and future chapters. Aressia is a completely original fictional World, and The Story of Zadura and Odlega, which I've been teasing on this site for a while, is one of my favourite stories from it. Though the storytelling style takes a lot of influence from Kings & Generals, HistoryTime, CivilizationEx and The Sunset Productions, and thus will mostly be talking about the historical events (and the chapter 1 will only serve as a prologue, to make you familiar with the historical background of our protagonists), there will be some great yuri (don't read spoiler bars unless you like spoilers) and even a marriage between our two protagonists, even if those aren't necessarily the focus of the story. I hope that one day it gets here, though I doubt that will ever happen.

I'm pretty passionate about music. I'm trying to learn guitar and bass. Already know some piano. And I sing. (Nobody really knows about that last thing irl lol.) I'm not good at ANY of them... I can't remember artist names or song titles much at all thanks to my health BS. I struggle to read sheet music or guitar tabs thanks to the health BS. My hands are all kinds of wonky thanks, you guessed it, to my health BS which makes learning instruments harder than it should be.

But it's what makes me happy. Took me a long time to finally figure out someone doesn't have to be a pro or an expert in order to love a thing or hobby, or that they don't have to feel inferior or unworthy. Glad I finally figured it out. :)

Sadly I'm boring and all my passion is anime and manga. I'm trying to learn how to draw, but that also is only so I can draw weeaboo stuff. So unless you count drawing my own chinese porn as being passionate about something else, then no.

Eh...the only other hobby I have rn is just having youtube vids on the background while I do stuff. I listen to history, news, reddit stuff, skepticism, Vtubers(new), DSP detractor stuff(cuz his life is an entertaining train wreck), and random gaming stuff.

Right now I'm not in a healthy mental state so I don't do much. I hope I can go back to learning piano and other stuff like drawing.

^ I have drawn since the first time I picked up a pencil as a kid. Art used to be my LIFE. Then people started using me, and then going back to bullying me once they got the art part of their school project finished. The last straw was when I took my very first art class in my very first semester of college, and the instructor also teased me and made fun of my sketches, and it killed what little flame had been struggling to stay alive. I still draw sometimes but I am annoyed that my style leans to looking stereotypically "manga-ish", and has always done so, long before I even knew what anime and manga were, lol...
