    ...Sheesh it's been almost a week since I made a status update?

    Anyways. Can someone help me come up with the personality of a character in a story of mine? He's like the last one I need to come up with it for and I've got nothing...

    Have you tried randomly generated character traits?
    ~Rinko~
    ~Rinko~
    Ah, no, I haven't.
    The sites I usually go to for random generators don't have very helpful ones for personalities. Even if I find one which is just personality traits... the odds I'll get something that feels right... doesn't seem high... I should probably try and look for one, even so, I guess...

    fair enough, to narrow it down you could pick character traits from your favorite characters and merge them together
    ~Rinko~
    Whew... wasn't as great as people say it is, but boy... those last couple episodes were great~ Certainly not a waste to have watched it, at the least~ And no I'm not just saying that 'cause I get Kyoukaisen in AMQ now.
    ~Rinko~
    Gahhhhhh--
    It's Rinko's birthday today, so I'm trying to change my profile picture but this stupid bug won't let me...!
    ~Rinko~
    ...I feel low on motivation to watch shtuff.

    Please answer this if you see it... the site'll feel too dead otherwise...
    Do you think this lack of motivation might be caused by how I'll no longer see this one absolutely adorable character, due to having moved out of the part of the show focusing on him...?
    ~Rinko~
    Help I can't find my previous names–
    Where's the page with my previous names gone? And the name change page in settings–
    ~Rinko~
    Yup. I really didn't need to watch that sequel...
    The first season was fine, fun, enjoyable and intense, with an emotional ending.
    The sequel was a little nonsensical, boring, had less good jokes, less fights and an ending that made literally all the character drama, which had become the focus, seem... pointless.
    ~Rinko~
    ~Rinko~
    ...Putting it like that, it sounds like I absolutely hate that sequel. I don't, though. I just think it's boring and very lacklustre compared to what came before it...
    ~Rinko~
    sigh Why... why do shows decrease in quality in terms of writing?
    I though that 2-episode mini-arc would be pretty good and interesting, but gosh was that resolution boring and just... unfulfilling. With everything beforehand, it shouldn't have been resolved so quickly and by someone who... didn't know him? Like, at all?
    ~Rinko~
    So, new profile picture~! Thoughts? Totally not making a status for this 'cause basically no one's talked about him.

    I decided to swap from a cute picture of him to a cool one, since I'll be finishing his show today~ Well, not completely finishing it. I still have the sequel to go. But still~
    ~Rinko~
    deep breath This site's still dead but even so I'll use every means I have to shake out my shock and pain at this plot development...
    Why is this happening to best boy why why why why why–
    ~Rinko~
    Ahhhh– best ending came an episode earlier than I thought~ Still, hearing it... knowing I'm in the final stretch of this show... close to the sequel~
    ~Rinko~
    ...Has anyone else ever picked up a show for a silly reason (like some of the opening/ending song(s)) and just... suddenly been enthralled by interesting mysteries and intriguing plot points that just cropped up?
    flint-n-steel
    flint-n-steel
    yeah fire force
    ~Rinko~
    ~Rinko~
    Huh.
    That's actually on my planning partially for some of the openings~ But it also has the reason of "interesting-looking shounen action" – making it fit in with my typical interests – which sets it apart from the show I was talking about, which had nothing other than ops/eds making me watch it...~
    flint-n-steel
    flint-n-steel
    yeah fire force definitely has an interesting plot once you watch the show more and more, especially if you read the manga. the lore actually gets really meta once you go deeper into its lore, i'd highly recommend watching it now then reading the manga

    also other shows that made me wanna watch them solely cuz of ops include overlord as well cuz op 4 is such a masterpiece
    ~Rinko~
    ...Y'know, it's been a while since I've done anything on the forums...
    I wanna join a RP but none of the active ones look good and I don't know what would be a gripping concept if I were to make one...
    ~Rinko~
    ...Only six more episodes of op1 and the awesome ed2...
    After that, 13 episodes of the worst opening and ending, before the best song, ed4, shows up...

    And before that fourth ending shows up... I want to get my first expert all perfect. No, I will~ Only 7 out on one of my attempts so far, after all...~
    ~Rinko~
    Ahh, tomorrow I'll get to ed2 of that show~ Can't wait to hear it~
    ...In about a week I'll stop hearing op1... no... then I have to wait another week to get to the only song in this show that's better than op1...

    ...Yes I can say and am saying a RAS song is better than a Roselia song Roselia is best band but their songs aren't all amazing.

    ...Especially the first ones they do for an anime like what the hell-- HEROIC ADVENT and Nesshoku Starmine are some of my least favourite Roselia songs...
    I have to pay close attention... if Roselia does a song for another anime (though I think only Popipa's getting non-Bushiroad series) then I have to see if it follows this pattern...
    ~Rinko~
    ...At this pace, 21 days... on the 23rd... one more week for the sequel... so it'll be October when I get to the prequel. Noted.
    ~Rinko~
    Okay so... if a writer kills off a character and then almost immediately revives them in a... kinda stupid way... what was the point of killing them off? They could've just had that character get critically injured and have someone quickly drag them off the battlefield, right?

    Yes.

    Shock factor? Yeah that's a dumb reason.
    Using the alternate route I suggested could still create massive tension, though, which could be as gripping, right? Or maybe not quite as much, but still close enough that people would think it's better?
    ~Rinko~
    ~Rinko~
    Though now, in this instance...
    I think it might not have been the original plan. It could very well have just been because of fan backlash that absurd thing happened.

    ...I hope. This question still stands in case it was the initial plan...
    kyuukestu

    Could be, people tend to oversell 'plot twists' and forget that they don't exist for the sake of existing.

    Fan backlash is also serious, especially with a volatile fanbase who might harass the author, VAs, etc. It does hurt the story.
    ~Rinko~
    sigh It is pain when you want to ask a question but you feel slightly embarrassed and you wish for an anonymous posting option or something.
    Please help motivate me to post this question, I need to know the answer and I don't know why I'm slightly embarrassed I've previously expressed my interest in that series after all.
    Why am I also bringing a problem from another site here, or something?

    ...Sports should only be on a general news program if there's some really big event, like our county winning a big tournament.
    Because y'know... not everyone likes sports, after all. And it's unfair that other interests people have don't get a guaranteed slot, while sports does, right?

    I think it's mostly that sports have become so popular over time that they've somewhat integrated them into society. Every school here in the USA has some sort of sports team that competes, and they're quite popular among citizens.

    Ooooo that’s on my watch list I’ve heard good things about it. Recently finished EdensZero, it’s a less known series by the creator of Fairy Tail! Pretty good, got some mind bending time travel stuff, especially in the manga ✨
    ~Rinko~
    ~Rinko~
    Mm, it's good. I think my enjoyment of it is actually being reduced by knowing basically everything that happens but... eh.
    Oh, I've heard of that, I think~ Don't remember what it's about, though...~
    =Nightshade=
    =Nightshade=
    It’s like a space anime, focuses a lot on the relationships between machines and humans, and once you get to like mid-late manga the time travel really picks up and it gets even better! There’s some crass humor and innuendos though, but other than that would recommend~
    ~Rinko~
    ...Weird...
    I'm really enjoying watching K-On! and am really motivated to watch it, yet when I think of continuing IDOLiSH7 or Show By Rock, I'm not motivated.
    And it's not an "I don't wanna watch more than one thing at a time" thing because when I think of starting 86, Re:Zero or Black Clover, I get at least somewhat excited.
    ~Rinko~
    ~Rinko~
    I guess I'm probably just in the mood for action anime, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a music anime, just stops me wanting to watch more of them?

    ...Except with this band I can get an SS on any song I clear so the score rank's not impressive...~

    SENBONZAKURA IS SO FUNNNN one of my favorites on expert, so good

    Though my luck on character draws have been absolute shite so my score never gets much more than 1.3 mil on full combos lol

    ...I seriously don't like these profile picture issues--

    That aside, I finally got a 4* Ako~
    ~Rinko~
    ...Why are the profile picture issues not yet sorted?
    At the top of my profile, it's correct. On my statuses, it's got a lower focus, but still the right picture. But on the little tab with my username on the navbar and on profile post comments, it's still my old profile picture...

    Anyways, best boy Ryo's birthday is today~
    ~Rinko~
    Oh! This new daily thing in the Windows search bar actually has an interesting article. ...I swear if it opens in Edge-- DAMMIT!
    ~Rinko~
    Dammit heatwave fatigue is starting.
    But I need to push through it and get started on those three fanarts I want to work on.
    ~Rinko~
    ...Dammit I need fanart of bestboy Kaito.
    Don't ask why I've waited so long since finishing Starmyu, but it just came to me while listening to his character song.

    His character song is awesome, by the way~
    ~Rinko~
    ...This is weird.
    It feels like I'm getting a little tired from having watched so much anime lately, so I should at least slow down my watching for a while.
    Yet here I am. Desperately wanting to watch a currently-unreleased s2 now.
    ~Rinko~
    Well. I've now read all the hard copies I own. Just have to wait... yup almost two months to get more...~

    Though, considering how long the time between me reading volumes 14 and 15 was, I think I can handle a two month wait.
    This makes me revisit my question of if I can handle the wait for a bimonthly manga. To which, still no, as even a single volume is, obviously, more content than a single chapter.
    ~Rinko~
    ~Rinko~
    Also I've already read MHA before getting these hard copies.
    Sooo... not really as suspenseful as a manga I've not yet read once, even if the 'new' manga's not action.
    ~Rinko~
    sigh Haa... I don't get why so many people like s2 of Demon Slayer that much. It's fun, sure, but it's... not as fun as the previous entries.
