New Poll - Lights while Sleeping
(20 posts, 643 views) Posted: 15 days ago by kurotaito in News
I prefer complete darkness but since I have a wacky sleep schedule, any of the settings don't really get in the way with sleeping.

New Poll - Powerpuff Girls
(13 posts, 1044 views) Posted: about 1 month ago by kurotaito in News
LOL. Me and my siblings literally re-watch the powerpuff girls all the time, since its such a good cleanse from like a bad movie or scary documentary.
Favorite quote is Fuzzy Lumpkin saying "Get off my property!"

Webtoons adapted to anime
(6 posts, 1336 views) Posted: 2 months ago by kurotaito in Anime TV/Movies
I liked the "Tower of God" anime. It just was made in such a way where it literally was asking not to have another season.
I think there is a bigger conversation in that a lot of the anime adaptations are being done in Japanese animation studios instead of South Korean one...

New Poll - Character Art
(4 posts, 940 views) Posted: 2 months ago by kurotaito in News
Can't even vote on this one because I think it really depends on artist/genre. Like a lot romance manga go above and beyond on clothing, or vfx that its the thing that literally makes me come back to a recycled trashy plotline. Then a horror/thriller comic might have amaz...

New Poll - Video Game Platforms
(17 posts, 1414 views) Posted: 3 months ago by kurotaito in News
True on that. There are many handheld gaming computers/devices that run all sort of operating systems (steam deck - linux based, razer - android, and the new ayaneo flip should be windows).

(17 posts, 1414 views) Posted: 3 months ago by kurotaito in News
If my PC runs linux, what do I click? Also it just depends on the game if I am more likely to play on a laptop or a desktop. I mostly play games on steam, and a lot of them run on linux and windows (eg Loop Hero, Stardew, Civ6, Papers Please, etc). So what actually goes o...

New Poll - Drying Your Clothes

Depends on the clothing. Most of my cloths are dried with an in-unit dryer, but I have regular circulation of clothes that must be hang dried.

New Poll - Long Titles
(8 posts, 1028 views) Posted: 5 months ago by kurotaito in News
There is no title that is too long but I rather it be less than 5. After 5 words, you know the fanbase is just going to abbreviate anyway, your not going to remember the exact title, and your never going to tell someone the exact title anyway.

(13 posts, 1261 views) Posted: 5 months ago by kurotaito in News
You only remember a few events/names
I can remember the general plot/outline of the story, but names would be very iffy. I have good recognition abilities, but like i know I'm not going to recall anything way before the event.
I could see it now, I recognize the world and ...

New Poll - Transportation
(20 posts, 1115 views) Posted: 5 months ago by kurotaito in News
US City. Bike commuter (95%) + buses (5%). US Suburbs. Rental Car/Taking family or friends cars.
Hopefully, I will never buy a car ever again. I am just paying too much extra stuff. I like biking too, even if my bike gets stuffed jacked off of it every other month.

Also on the can't recall group. I know some of the first comics that I owned were Sonic (still have them in my collection, ripped and drawn pages in all). However, I am sure I probably read my siblings comics like archie, garfield, sailor moon and other stuff before I was...

New Poll - Protagonist Age
(9 posts, 975 views) Posted: 7 months ago by kurotaito in News
21-30 years old
I find that most leads act like (or think like) there in their 20s so I would rather the author just have them in their 20s.
Its truly a skill to create a believable child or an immortal. And many authors just don't have those skillsets, trying to cop out b...

New Poll - Physical Manga
(21 posts, 1574 views) Posted: 8 months ago by kurotaito in News
Within the last month Had to think about it, went on a comic binge recently, Image, Iron Horse, and DC., its way cheaper to buy old prints of those than manga/manhwa.
Yeah, I would definitely love to make a private pseudo public library from my collection. I just need mone...

Watch anime and read manga in parallel I actually read like 20 chapters of the manga first to see if I even want to watch the anime. Most the time, I stay ahead of the anime the whole time, and read or watch in a binge. And I can go through way more content in a reading b...

New Poll - School Setting
(11 posts, 1480 views) Posted: 10 months ago by kurotaito in News
Undergrad is always a great setting. Authors can have characters deal with so much from finance, relations, and magic w/o any of the self-censorship!! A lot of HS comics have the characters acting like middle schoolers or vice versa.
I dont see much grad school comics whe...

Quote from HoneyAmanda
In other words, there is a moral to classic literature. And having LGBT books in school is not necessarily a call, but it is a kind of encouragement.

Do you avoid non-Japanese manga?
(27 posts, 2853 views) Posted: about 1 year ago by kurotaito in Manga General
I read anything that I can get my hands on. I definitely have a sweet spot for early 2000s manhwa (korean graphic novels, not webtoons). I really wish there was more of the traditional prints or just korean comics in the style of western comics, for the sole purpose that ...

I totally agree with this take. Just wanted to add in that a good way to defend your public libraries in the US is by actually using them. Numbers help justify spending and funding.
