Wusel

Celebrating my birthday today by commenting to you since I haven't heard from you in a bit:  Have a great anime day!  Always!

Wusel says...   In the past I used to organize meetings of chatters and later of my former guild in a MMORPG, even in my home. Shy means for me that a person blushes easily and acts like Hinata from Naruto (as an example) but I’m acting like a dude and can be such a loud mouth. I even dared to troll strangers in the past randomly with little things (nothing bad or serious). So looking back, I was quite acting like a leader, but these days due to my experiences I try not to get involved with people as much as possible. I even put all appointments I would need to attend onto one day (today) and was rushing from one point to the other, just so I did them all at once and can be alone at home afterwards. If I would have to label my personality beside being social awkward, I would say I’m a loudmouth, tombish, cheerful (if my mental health allows it), pervert young woman, who got through too much and yet tries to stand to up every time, even though I’d rather prefer to be just dead. But nope, shy is absolutely not part of me. Not even when I fall in love, which luckily didn’t happen for some years. :3

\r\n

OK, I'll grant you that you aren't shy... although shy is a state of mind, where one is embarrassed to be noticed and doesn't want folks looking at them/interacting with them.  That MAY lead to Hinata symptoms, but not always...  Your socially awkward term doesn't quite fit the bill, though, as you seem more anti-social than aWkward around strangers.

\r\n

I was a shy girl! So I understand that mind set all too well.  I've worked hard to "come out of my shell" and I think I've largely succeeded. Since I've surprisingly been described as "an extrovert" (I'm not!) and the "social one" in my family (again, not true!)

\r\n

Wusel says...  Of course I admit to love Naruto! I never read any better mangy that this one. Still enjoying it to the fullest with all the feels it gives me! Well the new fillers which I got to see after my long break are not as bad anyway. Most of them are quite interesting, especially the ones where Kakashi is still young and fillers about the past of Itachi. Those are really interesting and I enjoyed them, because it gave me more information than the manga did in the past. Since you didn’t read all of the manga, I will be quiet and not spoiler you, even though I would love to speak about it way too badly. But if you still want, we can talk about the stuff you already saw, meaning you decide the topics of Naruto. J

\r\n

I am willing to talk about Naruto, and I don't mind spoilers. If there is something that really made you feel a strong emotion when you found out the surprise - those kinds of things are better left not revealed in advance.  But other than those plot twist surprises, I don't mind if story elements are revealed...  I love Naruto show, and wish I've seen it all, but only part of Shippuden.  I watched all of Naruto, and about 150 Shippudens and then got delayed, and the delay turned into a stalled out ... but I'd always planned to get back to watching.  I just somehow delayed longer than I'd like so now its not fresh in my mind anymore so I want to rewatch before continuing.  And I wouldn't mind the rewatch, because I was enjoying what I had already seen.  (I actually started to rewatch from Naruto again, got 136 episodes in and then my sister asked me to stop because she wants to rewatch also and then continue to finish...  But that's gonna be a while from now since my sis is involved.  We are already rewatching Inuyasha to watch The Final Act, which neither of us has seen, and rewatching Fullmetal Alchemist, to continue after and watch Brotherhood, which I've seen but sis hasn't.  So we already have a full schedule of rewatches to see before we can get to Naruto since the others are already in progress.

\r\n

(We were watching Shippuden together, but delay occurred when Sasuke tried to kill Sakura, and we were kind of sad cause we felt that meant that we feared Sasuke was irredeemable and couldn't be saved... and we both LIKE Sasuke as a character, that dang cute but moody-as-hell boy. Our nickname for him is Moody Boy. But Kakashi said only the lowest of the low abandons their friends, and here Sasuke is, plotting revenge against Konoha his village and planning on killing Sakura. *sigh*  that's where I left off...  Also about that time, since we were watching the series on Hulu, I had an "episode with Hulu."  Hulu shows commercials, and sis and I, while we didn't like the interruptions, tolerated then, using middle commercial as a bathroom/food break.  But Hulu had buffering issues, and neither of us can stand waiting for the episode to buffer. But we did - as a necessary evil, like the commercials.  But when we had to stop and wait for the COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS to buffer, that was the last straw.  Waiting for an AD (THAT I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO SEE IN THE FIRST PLACE!) to buffer!!!!!?????  No!!! I swore I'd never watch on Hulu ever again.  So we needed to find another provider and that's kind of what led to our Overlong delay and caused us to stall out on it.)  We had to find a new streaming source and didn't want to see Sasuke continue on the path to his destruction...

\r\n

Anyway, I'd love to talk Naruto with you when you are in the mood, and you now know how far I've seen to try and avoid spoilers if possible.  I'd prefer NOT hearing in advance about EXAMPLE that surprise episode where Kakashi dies EXAMPLE but am ok if something comes up that is spoilerish am not going to cry and be upset.  I just would hope you would try and make a little effort not to reveal surprises so surprises can remain surprising.  If it is possible.  Maybe indicate with  [SPOILER] tags if the content you are discussing is wandering into spoiler territory? EXAMPLE  [SPOILER] This is the really tough battle where Naruto and Hinata are thrown together and have to spend that time alone in the valley, and where they really get to know one another and develop feelings for each other. [SPOILER] or [SPOILER] I didn't think that scene felt right when in the middle of that fight that Sakura got her first kiss. [SPOILER]

\r\n

I dunno - just trying to think of a way we can talk about Naruto without me having seen much of Shippuden...

\r\n

Wusel says...   [discussing Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken 2 Sure-me, Plastic Memories, UtaPri Revolution] I’m happy that I awakened your interest in these two anime, because they are both just super interesting. I really enjoy them both, because it’s interesting to see a normal woman and an otaku being married and all the things which is confusing for her. IF I would ever get married to a normal guy, he would totally have the same problem. Some time ago there was a guy who got an immense crush on me and he always looked confused, when I started to speak about my ships and stuff. He was all like “Eh what?” and if there was a show we both liked – Supernatural is a perfect example – and I told him about the Destiel ship and how intense it is and stuff, showing him perfect examples that they are totally in love with each other, even if it isn’t officially canon, his world fell apart and he actually stopped watching the show at all. XD” So I’m pretty sure I will die alone, because I’m way too much of a fangirl and otaku – and a normal guy like he was couldn’t even bear with the fangirl-side, so finding someone who would enjoy both with me is almost impossible, because I’m not a beautiful woman. Society looks down on me, but I got used to it and live my way, trying to not care as much as possible. :D

\r\n

Yes, I'm watching DanaWaka with one of my anime groups, but I didn't recognize the title because we refer to it by it's English name I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying. It is a cute show, makes me realize that what is "normal" for me just isn't the same for everyone else! *grin*  But I've never really had the same problem - friends who don't understand just glazed eyes when I talk about anime but they don't react/respond negatively.  And most of my good friends, and relatives, accept that's how I am and have even gotten into anime with me to various extents.  A few have even become otaku level fans themselves!

\r\n

Am also not a beautiful girl, but finding "someone who would enjoy both with me" is NOT impossible, trust me.  I've done it. The show depects another girl, albeit fantasy and not real life, who has done it, and this fantasy IS based in reality. Finding a special someone out there who will accept you as you are for being you CAN happen.  There ARE guys out there who can be converted into anime fans who can accept you as you are.  (And there is also the other thing to be done: accept and find yourself a guy who is ALREADY as much of an anime fan as yourself.)

\r\n

Plan to check into starting the other two series titles as I have time to fit them in.

\r\n

PS I don't get "shipping"...

\r\n

Wusel says...  It was actually me. I’m Mele (short version of Melanie) and I live in Germany. So next time you log in, you can totally add me. :3 Because the last person I added, didn’t get my invitation and had to add me from their side once more, before we were in each other’s friendlist. But what didn’t match with my profile here? :O

\r\n

The part that "didn't match" was the part where I somehow thought I read that you were listed as being from US.  I sincerely don't know -WHAT- I was looking at instead of your profile, because I really thought that was the window I had open. Again, sorry about that.  So, that is the part that had me confused and not "finding" you on Skype.  But glad I got the confirmation so I know the contact I have listed now is really you! 

Wusel says... It's not like there is a deadline, but I'd rather speak from person to person directly than leaving comments or write mails. That way real conversations can start, which makes things easier - at least for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not shy. I used to be very easygoing when it was about making friends. But due to a lot of bad experiences in real and online, I got more and more closed up and I turned into a social awkward who shuts myself away. I'm not shy at all - actually I'm quite the opposite, if one knows me good enough that I lose my walls of pushing a person away.

\r\n

Forgive me, but you still sound shy to me! Shy people are "more closed up" and "social awkwards who shut themselves away" but who will "lose their walls of pushing people away" "if one knows them well enough!"  <-- sounds like a veritable definition of shy!  When you tell me you prefer to be in a room with people, because otherwise it just seems too dead, THEN I will believe you aren't shy!

\r\n

Wusel says... I recently rewatched most of Naruto and entire Shippuuden, because I had quite a VERY LONG break over years for this anime, as quite some things happened and I had no motivation until recently. Now I'm all in again, reading the 3rd arc with excitement (I never stopped reading the manga, though, because it got no damn fillers) and in the beginning of the month I even bought myself a dakimakura with Sasuke on it and a cup with him and Itachi. I could talk for hours about this manga/anime and it takes most of my free time, when I read doujinshis or fanfictions or even write myself some. Since I had laid my hands on it, I was a real Narutard and that will never change. So this is my absolute priority. So if you are ever interested into talking about it, you got the right person here.

\r\n

I'm glad to find someone who admits liking Naruto, since I like it, and so many people knock it.  Many of the dreaded "filler" stories in the anime are fun to me, and I don't mind them so much.  I haven't finished Shippuden; unfortunately I got distracted away from it, so it has been a while and I want to rewatch to refresh before continuing on.  So I plan to rewatch Naruto again and then rewatch the 150 episodes or so I've seen of Shippuden, and then continue on, to finally finish it... but my sister wants to do it with me, so I have to wait for her...

\r\n

I haven't finished collecting the manga, I have about 60 vols. but have read only about 45 of them...

\r\n

Wusel says... I just accidentally stumbled onto Ore Monogatari, but I really like it. I wish there was an anime reverse to it, where the girl is not beautiful and I don't mean shows where she just hides her real beauty but a girl who is naturally what society would call ugly, who got a good heart and who would catch the interest of hottie like Suna is.

\r\n

I almost didn't watch it myself, due to disliking the MC character design in the promo pics... (me judging a book by its cover, something this anime tries to show why that is wrong!) and I'm glad I decided to watch this gem after all... its turned out to be the best title of the current season for me.

\r\n

I guess we don't see the story you want (Reverse Ore Monogatari - ugly girl but beautiful inside) because a majority of anime fandom is male, and males  do want to see their pretty girls... I'm still constantly surprised (though I shoudn't be) that the guys will go for an insipidly stupid anime and enjoy it, just cause the "best girl" is cute...

\r\n

I have a male friend who claims to enjoy "all types of anime" but who invariably hates the show unless there is a cute high school female character in it.  But he claims this isn't true, though I see it from him time and time again!

\r\n

Wusel says...  Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken 2 Sure-me - the second season so far - is surely an anime you should check out. The episodes are just ~5 minutes long each and it's simply funny and entertaining. This anime is for all the otakus out there. :3  Plastic Memories is an anime which made me cry in the very first episode already, which is actually unlike me. It's full of emotions which are overwhelming and it just takes you with it naturally. I don't want to spoiler any details of the show itself, but I was caught in a blink of my eyes.  UtaPri Revolution is actually the 3rd season already and I just got to watch it by chance along with the other two. It's about music and harem-style for a girl who gets involved with quite some interesting guys. I really like the music, the guys and the whole storyline. I just don't like the fact that she is too innocent and doesn't see what the guys mean, when they sometimes try to flirt with her. I actually even worry that she will end up with no one in the end of the whole anime, because it's more focused onto career and not love.

\r\n

OK, you have convinced me to check these out! *smile*

\r\n

Wusel says...  OMG, yes! I do have Skype and since some days I actually open it on the computer again, even though I don't have much people who would talk to me. But I would be enlightened if you add me and we could talk there! My name there is Wusel-chan and I would be happy if you add me. 

\r\n

I tried to find you on Skype, but the only Wusel-chan that came up for me was a profile of Melei (wusel-chan) in Germany, and since that doesn't match your info here, I doubt it is you.  Since I can't find you to add you, maybe you could add me? My profile name is everymansdream and my user name is Sianeka.

Wusel says...  First: Sorry for the late reply.

\r\n

No worries - there is no time limit nor deadline for a response. I'm happy to even get a reply, so there is not a problem at all if there is a delay in answering.

\r\n

Wusel says...  Second: I really am socially awkward and it's incredible hard to make any new bonds for me.

\r\n

Social awkwardness seems to be common among anime fans.  It is something that CAN be overcome if one cares to work at it. I know I have made giant strides in becoming more socially adept from my extremely shy roots/beginnings. (It's not so very hard to do, either, at least STARTING to work to overcoming these feelings is easy to begin. Just start with a friendly Hello!)

\r\n

Wusel says...  Third: As you see, I spent less and less time here. I just came by because I went through my unread mails and it reminded me I still didn't answer you yet...

\r\n

I'm so happy you did, though!  Thank you for going through your mails and deciding to answer. *happy happy*

\r\n

Wusel says...  Fourth: Well isn't there a section which shows what I'm currently watching or reading? ;)  But I can answer that anyway...

\r\n

There are two sections here on the site I can go to find out what you currently have marked as watching or reading, but that doesn't mean those things are the things that are taking up your time and attention.  You may have neglected to mark something, so it wouldn't show up here, or it may be something you watched just as an obligation but not something you plan to give much thought or dedication to.  For instance, you would see that my Watching list says I have 181 titles in progress (and I do) but not each of them is equally holding my interest at any given moment in time.  Or if you look at my Feed profile, you'll see that I've recently watched a show called Houkago no Pleiades, but that title is something I am watching only as part of club participation, and I'm not really enjoying it and will prolly promptly forget all about it shortly after I finish it.

\r\n

Wusel says...  My real attention as it goes for anime is focused on: Naruto Shippuuden, Ore Monogatari!!, Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken 2 Sure-me, Plastic Memories and Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love Revolutions - I watch a bit more, but they are not as exciting as the ones I mentioned. The only manga I frequently read is Naruto Gaiden, which really makes me wanna crawl up my wall.

\r\n

An interesting list of titles, to be sure!  I want to get back into watching Shippuden (delays have me needing to start it over, and my sister wants to rewatch it with me so we can both finally finish it. Ore Monogatari!! is the current season anime I am enjoying most this season.  Wakaranai is on my Want to Watch list.  Plastic Memories sounded intriguing when I first read about it, but details of the story premise were sketchy and no one could tell me more... I am unfamiliar with Prince-sama and Maji Love Revo...

\r\n

Wusel says...    To be honest I really like talking to you, but for me it would be more easy if it would be something like a chat, because writing and waiting for an answer and overseeing a reply in my mails is quite slow. ^^'

\r\n

There -is- a Live Chat (you can get in it by clicking on the chat room icon links at the bottom of any page, and you can move to have a private room conversation with someone there...  also, do you have Skype? I generally have Skype open all the time, and can often be reached there for chat purposes.

Wusel says...  To be honest I'm barely on this page, because I'm not involved with anyone and I'm socially awkward so I won't reach out on my own to get new contacts. So it's more helpful that others - like you - get in touch with me, because I suck at doing it...

\r\n

*grin* I don't believe you because it doesn't seem that way to me, so far.  Spend as much time or as little as you want here, it's totally your choice. Although I -do- hope you have fun and enjoy your time here.  I am happy when you decide to hang around and drop me a comment - I like having comment conversations! *smile*

\r\n

So, which anime titles currently have your attention right now? (The site says you've been reading a lot of manga...)
