    Do you buy anime DVDs?

    Well, honestly, no. I don't buy DVD's at all. When I'm on the computer, I watch everything online and when I'm not, I transfer it via USB to the TV. I used to own a DVD player, but it broke a few years ago and they usually tell you it's not worth repairing. I never bought a new one as I could...

    Studio Ghibli?

    When it comes to anime films, these are my favourite: I've seen most of Studio Ghibli's films and I liked all of them. It's probably impossible to pick just a few of them. They're all great and original and their genre varies, but these are my all-time favourites: Tales of Earthsea may not be...

    Anime Summer 2015 List

    I've began watching Charlotte and I must admit that it intrigued me. I'd seen the first episode and now I am waiting for more to come. In the beginning, I really didn't like the lead (he used his ability of possessing other people for a few moments as a way of cheating on the exams in order to...

    Where to start with Anime?

    Well, you can always do both: a lot of anime started out as manga, so you can try which one suits you better. I, for example, love both, however, I spend more time watching anime than reading manga. I find that it interests me more, especially as there is music involved, colours, it's dynamic...

    Remember SAMP Fever?

    I know the feeling: we all got bored of it eventually, but for a long time, it was very active and a lot of us played it. I don't know about your server, but I revisited SAMP a few months back. I tried to find WS (the server I used to play in, daily) and there were many improvements, many new...

    Remember SAMP Fever?

    Call me old school, but my favourite GTA version is still San Andreas. I guess that's because I've spent so much time playing it. I'd never really played the gameplay version, which is odd, considering how I like the game, but I've spent hours and hours AND HOURS playing multiplayer. My best...

    Your Favourite TES

    Most of us have played at least one of the TES games and I was wondering which one is your favourite.  When I was younger, I used to play Morrowind, but it didn't last long. Oblivion dazzled me with the colours, but somehow I didn't play that one long either. I remember the dungeon and the...

    Steam or Origin?

    In my opinion, there's no way these two can be compared. I use Steam 90% of the time I play games. The only game I'd ever played on Origin was Sims 4, and it's earlier version, Sims 3. However, I don't think that my gaming time on Origin is more than two or three days in total. I've always opted...

    Rate the last anime you have watched

    Well, just today, I'd seen a new anime, Charlotte, that was actually recommended by a friend. So far, it's only one episode long, but a lot can be concluded from it. Hopefully, there will be more of them soon.  Based on the first impression, I'd give Charlotte a good 8. CHARACTERS - 9: Well...

    Does Reading Comic Books Exclude Reading Manga And Vice Versa?

    Well, I didn't know for sure, so I had to check it out. Here's what I found out: The first comic book issue was published in 2001, but it started being published in Croatia (my mother tongue) in 2003. I probably started buying the issues in 2004/5 as I didn't begin from the first issue, but I...

    Is There A FB Game None of Your Friends Play?

    I haven't heard about that one, but I used to play Geo Challenge, while it was still active. It was always my mum against me and we were constantly competing over who got more flags correctly or capitals, things like that. It was very fun for awhile. There is one more website. As you as a fan...

    Rate the last anime you have watched

    I'm still watching Akatsuki no Yona and although it's one of my favourites, I'd still give it 8.5/10. I must admit that I was expecting more. In the beginning, the anime was so promising. I'd literally breezed through the first ten episodes. The story was excellent, touching and well-developed...

    Does Reading Comic Books Exclude Reading Manga And Vice Versa?

    I like doing both. I can enjoy a comic book just as much as I enjoy reading manga. I was a great fan of Marvel for long five years before I started reading manga. Then I went back to comic books with W.I.T.C.H. for the next six years or so, but I also kept reading manga meanwhile. However, some...

    A reflection of your own life's story

    Now you've made me think really hard. I don't remember some anime being a true reflection of my story, but I usually do find connections in between myself and the characters I like. For example, in Whisper of the Heart, I really understood the characters as I too was wavering. When it came to...

    The allure of badly dubbed anime

    Well, I must admit that I very rarely watch dubbed anime (only if there is no subbed version), so my opinion is probably biased, but somehow I find that the original voice cannot be replicated. There's always something special about the character... I don't know. Plus, the cultural context is...
