Finished reading F.Compo - a great series, but with an underwhelming ending like so many other series. I'm thinking of starting Otomen next. :biggrin:

Watched the first episode of Mayoiga. It was very strange. Not sure whether to continue it.

So 7 commandments is a Netflix original anime. Binged it as I had a day off yesterday. Loved it. And have looked at the wikia and manga looks cool so will read when I have a time. Would recommend.

Is it not too popular for you? It's pretty classic Shonen and I get the feeling you prefer the french movies of Anime :tongue:

.

Thanks. I happened to come across it on one of my internet trawls.

I've got nothing against popular series! Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and several others feature in my Top 50 list. :p:

I just find the major shounen titles (Naruto, Bleach etc) a bit long and intimidating. If it seems like I'm only recommending obscure series, it's because I assume most fans will either already be aware of the mainstream shows, or will find out about them quickly on their own. :smile:

Oh dear about a day after I posted on here I got hit by my second cold of the year, hence vanishing again, I didn't feel much like staring at too many screens.

Decided to get some anime today- Kill me baby, Nyan Koi, No game no life and Love election and chocolate. The only one I've seen is Nyan Koi, back in the days when I kept up with new shows :mmm:

Final(?) Minamicon cosplay photos

Disappointed I only got three from that photographer this year, compared with the seven from last year... maybe it's one for each hand, and a bonus one? :p:

Get a haircut you hippie!

Oh my gosh, I knew nert from my Uni animesoc, I once gave him a spare Higurashi blind bag (ball) figure as I had duplicates :awesome:

I did, so that the wig would fit. :p:

One of my few haircuts of the past year. :yes:

Nert takes the best photos. Also the only (professional) photos I've been able to find for my cosplay this year, despite there being at least two other photographers present. :hmmmm2:

I never have done cosplay, no one I like enough to overcome my shyness :awesome:

Plus the last event I went to was the London MCM expo in 2009. I still really miss the 2007-2010 period when TSR was much more alive to us with anime/the virtual bar, as well as my uni time.

Plus the girls get all the cute costumes :awesome:

I also miss those levels of activity. :moon:

Seemingly every day I accept new member requests, sending welcome PMs with links to this thread, and sometimes I even get replies... but so few actually post. :unimpressed:

The growing number of other anime threads and their activity (including from people who don't post here) makes me wonder whether I'm doing anything wrong? :dontknow:

Aside from not forcing all the old people to come back, that is. :security:

I don't know who I'll be cosplaying next, but I'm definitely thinking more 'cute' than 'caveman' (as someone in Chat called it) this time. :giggle:

I suggest a joint venture to invent a time machine.

On the subject of the past, I've been reading Mahoromatic recently. I think I may have started the first volume years ago, but I restarted this year. I think I completed buying it in 2009. I have have Love Hina to read, it's on the shelf across from me- I think I bought all of that by probably the end of my first year at Uni in 2008 :afraid:

I also ordered the last few volumes of Claymore on Friday, a series I'm sure I started collecting before University. Time is scary.

Sounds like a plan! Now that I'm more into figurines, it'd be nice to pick up some of the now-rare £300 ones back when they were newer and cheaper.

All series that I've read and enjoyed, the first two way back in my early days as a fan, but Claymore I only got on Kindle last year once the whole series was finally out. Currently one of my favourite manga series I've read. :yes:

I really don't read much manga nowadays, I have loads to read, but I can never get comfortable- my back or neck often ache or my eyes will get tired, and OCD has been a jerk when reading for a couple of years.

A while back in my fandom days I preferred manga to anime as I could get through it quicker, but now I prefer anime. Plus I normally know where I stand with anime, I've grown tired of starting or looking up a new series only to discover there's thirty plus volumes to get...

I remember a few years ago when the Internet was down limiting myself to three volumes of DBZ a night/evening so I wouldn't burn through it. When I returned to manga at the height of my bad OCD a year or two ago I could do one chapter a night before bed and it took a month to finish where I'd keep putting it off :emo:

I used to love reading.

This is one thing I've been meaning to ask- what are some of the big things to happen in recent years? I have some of Kill la kill (waiting for cheaper standard editions) am aware of One punch man and I've watched Attack on Titan. I also know the Familar of Zero author died.

Are there any major things to happen? Any big closures (I vaguely remember a studio closing) or controversies? I'm no longer completely up to date...by a few years :emo:

Manglobe was the studio that closed down. The big deaths from last year that spring to mind were Inu x Boku SS' Fujiwara Cocoa and the legendary Shigeru Mizuki. I can't think of much else that's really stuck out in my mind.
