I did a little Violet Evergarden fan art but I’m not very good. What kind of fan art do you do?

@devastate-lasting @trahia-the-minstrel

Thanks for the suggestions and the heads up.

Yea, JJK is pretty gory at some points. But the art is (thankfully) not too realistic when it comes to those things, and the violence fits the characters…[Read more]

@anatra23 Big thanks to @trahia-the-minstrel for putting out content warnings here; about FMAB; it does get pretty dark, actually, but I feel like if you watch Jujutsu Kaisen you can probably watch the bulk of most anime, considering that Jujutsu Kaisen is rated TV-MA here in the US but FMAB is rated TV-14. Common sense media is a good place to…[Read more]

@calidris The fandom is scary as heck but I love the manga art style and the characters and how they portray authors as characters and the worldbuilding and I also have been playing the mobile game for almost two years and–

*cough cough* The fandom is. Very. I don’t like the fandom.

@anatra23 Ay, for comedy/slice of life I recommend:

• Barakamon
• Yotsuba&!
• Way of the Househusband

And for fantasy/adventure:

• Fullmetal Alchemist (if you’re only going to watch the anime watch the Brotherhood version)
• The Devil is a Part-Timer!
• Bungou Stray Dogs

Me, looking over my lists: I could have sworn there was way more I need…[Read more]

@calidris

Yea, I’ve been hearing a lot about Haikiyu. I also heard the dub(English voice over) is amazing.
Do you prefer to watch it subbed or dubbed?

@devastate-lasting

Happy to oblige in anime conversation ^-^
Wow, you’ve seen a lot.
I enjoyed Your Name quite a bit, and I’ve been suggested Her Blue Sky before. But I don’t recognize many…[Read more]

Someone ask me something, anything. (About. Any WIP.)

@anatra23 Finally, my field of expertise.

I have heard of all of these! I’ve read several volumes of Horimiya and Your lie in April was my first anime. For a complete list of my read and watched anime, you may consult myanimelist here: https://myanimelist.net/profile/xiajiao

Well, lemme just open up my presentation that I bring with me whenever…[Read more]

@koshka

XD You’ll get there.

I was surprised those were his first fictional novels. That’s some Godly inspiration right there.

@elishavet-pidyon

George Macdonald? I don’t recognize that name. Andrew Peterson quotes him?

@trahia-the-minstrel

I will look for the rest of the anime/manga then! How many manga are there?

You know some Japanese? That’s so cool!

I’ve heard some Attack on Titan music and (another big surprise) my bro has watched it.

@trahia-the-minstrel you mean what I mainly write?? I have been making it for the reason C. S. Lewis once said; The world does not need more Christian literature. What the world needs is more Christians writing good literature.” if I can make a good book to be enjoyed by all while keeping the values of the Scriptures enough to be recognized, I am…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I would say it has done similar things for me.

I can read people well and figure them out pretty quick, or so I’m told. I evaluate and if someone asked me to describe I can and I’m usually correct. The problem with that, is, among other things, that if I’m not careful I can get cocky, and start thinking I see things that aren’t…[Read more]

OH YES.
I am happy this exists.

@elishavet-pidyon @koshka @keilah-h

It is so beautiful.

XD I’ve ruined so many of my favorite books by reading the end when I’m only halfway through ;-; hlp.

I’m glad Andrew Peterson decided to go with putting that ending in the epilogue. It was smart, the perfect way to carry on the story without the…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

🙂 Amen.

@trahia-the-minstre

Ah, yes. I have seen that anime. Snow White With the Red Hair is one of my friends favorite anime. My brother (who’s best friends with this girl(my friend)) convinced me to watch the anime (big surprise) for his best friend’s sake.

I enjoyed most of it, the romance was adorable at times. I just wish…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Writing has allowed me to appreciate different forms of story more. While more things may seem mediocre now, I can also truly better appreciate the highest forms of literary art, such as classic lit, as well as extremely well done movies. Yes, being a writer ruins some things because now I can predict the plot. But when I can’t…[Read more]

@nova21

I recently exited a season of stress, and even though I’m a loosely-scheduled homeschooler, I know what that’s like mentally.

XD I prolly dealt with it in a somewhat wrong way (more time with friends, and more comfort food than usual) but as soon as I let myself rest maybe cry and very much vent emotions I simply leaned on Jesus. That…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Although my commenting history seems to say otherwise, I have not left the universe nor have I died. I’m so sorry for the late reply! *facepalm* Juggling high school and a job takes up most of my week, so I don’t have much time for the forum, unfortunately. 🙁

Anywho, wonderful topic to start the discussions for this genre! I know…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh my goodness, my brother got me to do the same thing. Just with a different anime. It’s called Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s also rated R, but he didn’t bother to tell me that. And he had me watch it. Alone. But it’s fine, the violence isn’t so bad. It was one of those shows that had the right amount of charming humor and a great…[Read more]
