That's awesome! For me I changed fields from retail to sales. Old me: Gundam, DBZ, etc..Now I'm super picky with what I watch. 7 Deadly Sins (fav), Rising of the Shield Hero, Demon Slayer. I haven't jumped on board w/ Naruto, My Hero Academia, or any of the more recent stuff. I'll watch an ep and decide 'nope'. Although Plunderer got me. I don't know why I continued watching more eps. Lately I've been spending my time working out and self-development stuff. Also, I recently went to re-watch my old favs like Kenshin and I can't believe how bad the dialogue is!scorpionwarrior wrote: ↑Feb 29, 2020 1:56am Doesn’t feel like a lots changed till I look back at last time I was here lol.
Still doing pizza deliveries (will be 11 years this year). Have 2 dogs now (still have my old one who is 15 now), living by myself (was living with my brothers for a bit but thankfully on my own now). Not too sure about much else
As for my anime taste, it has changed a lot. Had only watched stuff like dragon ball z, gundam wing, Pokémon, etc. All the main anime’s. Now I generally have like 6-8 going at once and have seen countless anime (get bored too easy haha)

I think the main reason Isekai is so popular now is that Sword ARt Online happened, and it sparked a ton of ideas for other things. Though, The other things aren't exactly SUPER original. Its just a huge cash grab me thinks, or a buncha people wanting to animate their fanfics xDMik3 wrote: ↑Feb 29, 2020 11:16am I bounced around working for different retailers...then I joined a landscaping business and did that for a few years. Since November I have been interning with the Philadelphia Phillies AA affiliate Reading Fightin Phils. I'm so mad it took me so long to figure out what to do, but I can say I'm close to what I love.
I also test video games part time for VMC, don't get paid a lot and the hours aren't exactly steady but it's a nice way to make extra money when I have free time.
I still like Anime but it's gotten harder to find stuff I'll enjoy and I don't have as much free time as I did however many years ago. And why is Isekai stuff so popular?!
I have enjoyed watching MHA, Orange, Hunter x Hunter, Space Dandy, the first two seasons of Food Wars, and Your Name by Makoto Shinkai was a very good movie. I also finally watched Baccano and that was amazing, I really missed out all these years.
Fun fact - I live by the Phillies Spring Training ballpark in Florida. (I can walk there). And I have a friend who is an announcer, Kristen.Mik3 wrote: ↑Feb 29, 2020 11:16am I bounced around working for different retailers...then I joined a landscaping business and did that for a few years.

Glad to hear you're doing well! It doesn't matter how long it's taken you -- just as long as you get thereI DO remember you!!Boredcrazy wrote: ↑Mar 03, 2020 2:03pm Hopping on this thread even though I doubt half of you guys remember me.
Let's see! I graduated with a degree in information systems. Got roped into the family business, then struck out and worked at another place where my dad wasn't my boss for two years and now I'm back in the family business again. The plan is, among other things, to eventually own a business of my own. I do freelance graphic design work occasionally. Usually nothing too huge.
Some of my interests from back when I used to hang out here have changed a lot. I don't really watch anime anymore; it's been like four years since I last watched stuff consistently. Now I'll only check like two or three niche genres for new releases every couple of months. I still draw though. Rough sketches. Anime/manga style. It's fun.
Man, I used to be so cringe. Looking at my profile when I logged in after like 13 years of inactivity was agony. Hey, Athos, did I ever confess to having like, an absurdly huge crush on you at the time? I don't remember whether I did. I probably didn't have to though, since I imagine it was preeeeettyy obvious, thinking back on it now. Please don't call me out on all the embarrassing stuff I did. I'm still trying to live it down.
We should have an AA Discord server or something, if it won't affect the traffic this place gets.
yeeaahh so anyone thats wanting to get to the discord, discord invites time out after, i think, 12 hours or so. So if anyone wants a new one PM me and i'll get you one within 24 hours. I'm checking AA daily now :3Boredcrazy wrote: ↑Mar 05, 2020 10:02am The Discord link isn't working, but I am flattered you remember me! I'm glad to see you're all doing well.
Yeah I remember. I believe you live/d in Qatar?Boredcrazy wrote: ↑Mar 03, 2020 2:03pm Hopping on this thread even though I doubt half of you guys remember me.

I've had long stretches of time when I didn't watch any anime. Then I happen to catch an episode of something and end up getting back into it for a while. It's a cycle just because I don't have time to watch consistently. Anyway, I hope you never stop drawing. It's very important to keep your fun artistic side aliveBoredcrazy wrote: ↑Mar 03, 2020 2:03pm Some of my interests from back when I used to hang out here have changed a lot.

Glad to hear you got your diploma and got out of an abusive relationship.Grell wrote: ↑Mar 06, 2020 11:01pm As far as life goes, I dropped out of high school, got my diploma via night school, was in an abusive relationship, went to college, worked, got married, lost my dad, stopped working to focus on my mental health and recently got diagnosed with Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder. It's been a rollercoaster.
The discord link on the sidebar should work. I set it to never timeout. https://discord.gg/K3WYNJm Please let me know if it doesn't work.
