    I will watch any genre of anime, I just don't tolerate anime that doesn't pull off it's genre well. Ones that are supposed to entertain me only to end up boring me (K-on), don't tickle my fancy.

    And when I say any genre, I mean it. I've watched ones with yaoi themes in it.

    I unknowingly read the beginning of a Yaoi manga before. I honestly don't think I could handle it.

    K-on isn't a horrible anime, but I think it recieves more praise than it should. It's just another slice of life, moe anime that lacks a concrete story in my opinion. I suppose it just depends on whether the genre entertains you or not, though.

    I finished Steins;Gate last night. It twas confusing as hell at times, but I would say it's definatly worth watching. I'm now debating whether I should finish the manga adaption to Mirai Nikki or start to watch the anime adaption. I'll probably end up doing both.

    I'll watch anything aside from trap, futa and yaoi.

    If you want to know what any of them are, don't google them.

    For Mirai Nikki I'd watch the anime first, then read the manga. If you intended to do both.

    But there's a trap in Steins;Gate.
    There's nothing wrong with Yaoi (Gay), it's the male version of Yuri (*******).
    And in other news... After a 2 month wait, it's finally here!

    I meant anime solely based around that concept. I still can't get my head around Ed in Bebop. I don't mind it for the purposes of a story but to base it around that is a little different. Yaoi is sorta the thing for girl otaku's for some reason.

    Who the hell is that on your t-shirt?

    You people and your lack of vocaloid knowledge. Tiem for some education. Sky style.

    Right then
    [table][tr][td]
    [​IMG]
    [/td]
    [td]
    This is the one and only Hatsune Miku. You all seem to know who she is. The first vocaloid voice and the idol of many otaku all around the world.

    [/td][/tr]
    [tr][td][​IMG]
    [/td]
    [td]This is Kagamine Rin. Idol of all the lolicon fans. She's one of the Kagamine twins and is part of the second wave of vocaloid voices. She's the sister of Kagamine Len. She's also known as Kagamine Lin as there isn't much distinction iin the Japanese language between an R and an L.

    [/td][/tr]
    [tr][td]
    [​IMG]
    [/td]
    [td]This is Rin's brother, Kagamine Len. He's a little less known compared to his sister but is part of the second wave of vocaloid voices.

    [/td][/tr]
    [tr][td]
    [​IMG]
    [/td]
    [td]This is Kasane Teto. She was originally a "troll" vocaloid created after Miku rose to fame. She is a UTAU voice, a program that is used to synthesise a voice rather than create it. She quickly rose to fame even though she isn't a proper vocaloid character and has stared in lots of different songs alongside her cousins of vocaloid fame.

    [/td][/tr][/table]



    There are some others I could go into but I really can't be bothered. Go look them up.

    I will fix this after the staff have given me a reply. I'm only leaving it up so they can see what's going on and try and figure out why it's doing it.

    After all that effort I put in too :/

    EDIT: All fixed and looking pretty.

    2 pictures won't work :/

    Right, finished episode 12 of Guilty Crown, and now I'm completely hooked on the series. still not sure how an event like this can still be possible in the future, but then again, it is anime, and they can do whatever they want with it.

    I beg to differ.


    Don't watch this unless you have seen Neon Genesis Evangelion, spoilers.

    Just the one question this time:

    Which character do you think best personifies you and why?

    I'll post mine when I've had chance to think about it.

    Personifies me... currently, or at least for the past year of my life;

    Tatsuhiro Sato (Welcome to the NHK!)

    Now, just in general in terms of personality and stuff like that... I'd say;

    Maes Hughes.

    I show off my girlfriends to my friends, I usually brighten up the mood when I'm around, loyal to friends, and would most definitely end up killed because of my curiosity. Might even try doing a cosplay of him sometime, my hair color/eye color match up, all I need is to not be so damn skinny and have the uniform too... and trim my facial hair accordingly.

    Damn.

    Hmm, I'd say it would be a tie between Akira Takizawa (Eden of the East) and Shu Ouma (Guilty Crown). I have Taki's cool and somewhat strange personality, but yet I also have Shu's good perseverance.
