3:43 Secrets of Eternity was released in January 2015. This set introduced the Infernoids, a series of monsters that can Special Summon themselves to the field by banishing other Infernoids from either the hand or graveyard. Notable cards in set include Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Qliphort Monolith, Uni-Zombie, Nephe Shaddoll Fusion, and a card that would bolster Satellarknight to combat the Burning Abyss Shaddoll meta, Stellarknight Constellar Diamond. In this series, both Nyhmnim and myself will be opening 24 booster packs or 1 box of a core Yu-Gi-Oh! booster set. We will build a deck and play a best 2 out of 3, and the winner will receive a small prize to upgrade their deck. HOWEVER! Each episode, we will open another box of the next set that was released moving in chronological order, constantly upgrading our decks before dueling each other at the end of each episode. This is the Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Series.

[@24dasr]

The problem with something niche becoming popular is that you no longer are able to have a meaningful conversation about it. At one point, spy x family the manga had a very tiny community and you could talk to them and have a fun time discussing the story. Now if you go in twitter or reddit, the only thing people are saying is: "anya is so cute uwuwuwuwuw", or "loid makes me gay and I want yor hentai", or.... "anya is too sexualised and this anime should be banned everywhere" Gone are the days of having a nice conversation with a dude about how the background for the latest chapter was great and you can't wait to see what happens next.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Many questions can be asked while discussing anime like “what do this series’ nuances imply” or “what are the themes trying to say about our greater world” or “how well are the character interactions and dialogue written”. The most important question, however, is always: “Can they beat Goku?” Because the hallmark of a good series is how easily one of your characters can clap another. Because writing fiction is a competition that can be settled like in arm wrestling.

[@nyquillusdillwad9119]

Very wise words.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

I think a good anime must be good right from beginning to end, consistently equally as good the whole time. And it must at bare minimum have good characters and good story. The other stuff can come after that. Demon slayer district arc had flawless animation, but the first half was still boring and the story was kinda mid. Was not good from the start only during the ending. But there's anime like Banana Fish that start off perfect and end perfectly and stay great every episode consistently

[@DarkHunter047]

The second most important question must then be "Who is best girl?", because the cuteness of the drawings is highly correlated to overall quality of the history being told. Source: Trust me :).

[@carrot708]

Any One Punch Man fan who thinks Saitama could beast Goku has fundamentally missed the point of Saitama, and of OPM. Change my mind.

[@AshCinis]

@@GrowingDownUnder It's a bit ironic how for a lot of people, the animation quality is one of the least (or at least not one of the most) important things about an anime. For me personally I don't care a lot about the animation style/quality as long as I like the characters or the story is good.

[@Alwaysjoel]

I've been using the 'I read manga' excuse for a long time. Sometimes followed with 'If god meant for us to watch animation he would have made drawings in books move naturally', a take that I've never stopped using simply because I always marvel at how many people take me seriously, including some people who very seriously have told me that they don't believe in god. I just legitimately prefer manga in general, and usually only like anime in a social setting (Surprisingly hard for 2 or more people to read the same manga volume at the same time). Acting like it makes me superior is mostly because I am 40% troll (On my dad's side).

I mean come on, there are anime enjoyers who haven't been uwu baka sillyfied. Anyway, I wanted to share one of my wholesome experiences. I have a few friends who watch anime, but none of them are as nerdy as me. For the most part our conversations are on the surface... You watched this too? What were your thoughts? Who was your favourite character? Well, last summer i met a guy who was as nuts as me. Bro was an irl reddit user.

A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water onto different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door. Showering is common in Western culture due to the efficiency of using it compared with a bathtub. Its use in hygiene is, therefore, common practice

I'm from an era where anime was taboo to be spoken about. When Inuyasha was airing (early 2000's, lol), I found out the boyfriend of a friend I had in high school also liked the show. Every morning, he'd sit next to me and we'd say nothing for about five minutes until one of us finally felt the coast was clear and would quietly ask, "...Did you see yesterday's episode?" 😂 The girlfriend was fine with us talking as she wasn't into anime and so we had those morning recaps to finally discuss what we couldn't with anyone else. Nowadays, you throw a stone and you'll hit an anime fan and the hardest part is finding someone that likes the same anime as you.
