When I discovered Ah! My Goddess, Skuld was my attachment. She represented the future, and solving problems by using technology. Being that I was a Software Support Specialist back then, she resonated with me. However, watching the series now, I'm finding Skuld to be quite the ill-mannered...

I think Dragon Ball probably had a similar effect on the male audience that Sailor Moon had on the female audience in the United States. Both shows created an enormous swelling of fans within the medium of anime.

"A kindergarten romance" is how this anime, originally began as a manga in 1988, had a major television animation adaption in 2001 (with a five episode OVA in the late 90s), is still one of my favorite anime series. There are a total of three seasons (I believe, but I haven't had a chance to...

Hope to be at least considered for a new (Remote) customer support role to get off my aching feet! Wish me blessings! (Too bad I won't know anything for at least a month...)

You're probably correct. I realize that I've totally skipped over the Dragon Ball saga as being very influential in America. But, that's also within the Shonen demographic, and I don't have too much experience watching anime aimed at that demographic. I mostly watch Shoujo. 😅

Yes and no. A forum based role playing game is a game, however, it's usually so much more deeper than simple one-line responses that are typical of most forum games. You'll want to create a character whom you can imagine yourself as-- whether that character is from a anime or TV show...

That's a really good question. I know that anime started in the USA in the 1960s I think... Speed Racer (Go Mach Number 5) and AstroBoy (I think was it's name...) there were a few others. Anime began to pick up more titles throughout the 1970s and 80s. Then when Sailor Moon hit in like 1995...

Yes. you could say that.

Oh! Silly me. PbP means Play by Post. Instead of gathering around a giant table with your friends, you login to a forum (or nowadays Discord) and take turns typing out your character's actions. It's kind of like a multi-authored story...but with random chance added. I happen to prefer forums...

Oh! Okay. Looks like I need some more coffee... Also, keep in mind, that I discovered this anime in like 2006, more than ten or fifteen years after it was released in the USA? So it was already obsolete by the time I discovered it. There's just something groovy about the music of these older...

Just wait until I introduce PbP role play.... 😆 You're welcome!

I'm guessing you're unsure of what APACCGNN means? All Purpose All Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku. 😉 I'd probably create a better acronym, but then I might end up creating an entirely different anime!

Start simple and small. Game development can become overwhelming quickly. An example: In the 90s, there was a little tank game called Scorched Earth. Just two tanks on a random background (elevations), and you have many, many options of weapons to fire at each other with, doing different...

Sure! In my experience (I've read quite a bit of fan-fiction over the years), you'll want to center on a single character. Create some plot that is hyper-focused on that character. Like my story "Answering Fate", obviously, the protagonist was Fate Testarossa. The second most useful thing I...

I've written quite a bit of fan-fiction through the years. Much of it isn't online however. I find that I can write longer-form content (if you can believe that!) better with a pile of spiral-bound notebooks and a few dozen pens. One of my first (completed) stories was one entitled "Answering...

The loss of creative freedom comes with the cost of maximizing profits. This isn't just isolated to anime, but to entertainment in general. Look at the difference in movies from like the 1980s compared to today. Dialogue was written that was risque, and people tolerated being offended while...

The year was 2002. I was at work, just got a new computer upgraded with Windows XP. Sure the wallpaper was pretty, compared to what came with Windows 98, but I wanted something novel to glance at in between duties. So, I began searching the Net, and after a couple of minutes, I was looking at...

Making Hibachi isn't that hard. It's mostly just grilled veggies and some meat (usually steak). But to make it, you'll need to slice up green squash and carrots in slender chunks. Slice some onion, I've added broccoli in the past too, but this is optional (if I remember). You'll add some soy...

Thank you! This is what happens when I've had four 15-oz cups of coffee and no job (THANK YOU Mother Nature for this most epic Blizzard you have graced us with! LOL) As far as programming, I'm not really sure what there is to explain. I can use Notepad, I just type out the commands by memory...

I remember years ago, back in my browsing days of IGN, stumbling across a guy who uploaded a bunch of anime intros videos, and one of my favorites was one of the APACCGNN (I know you can figure that one out)-- if I remember, let's see.... (alright, after re-watching half of the first episode, a...
