lol. I agree with you that they have made waay to many Naruto and Bleach eppisodes. Whenever I go to Japan I will watch the odd episode but I don't really know what's happening as I don't really follow Naruto.

I have found how you like anime will be impacted by who you get to enjoy it with.

For instance, I am a member of MAL, but, I consider MAL The Laters Years (one of the sites clubs) to be all there is to MAL. Thus, if you are under 30, and a member of MAL, you don't exist, your reviews don't exist and you might not even encounter me over there. I only hang out with the club, and the club is all that there is there. We discuss the shows amongst ourselves and we only care for the opinions of our members.

It makes a difference enjoying the stuff (anime) as seen by people our own age.

I couldn't care less what a reviewer on ANN has to say about a show. Anime on the internet for me, is MAL The Later Years and sources like animesuki and nothing else for the most part.

I watch the stuff with a few local friends all close to my age range.
Among my anime friends I have a friend that is a well paid bouncer, a friend that is merely as big as a football linebacker, another friend that is basically my computer expert of choice and another who is admittedly just a typical skilled tradesman. None of us look like anime fans to look at us. Most are over 6 feet and over 250 pounds 350 in the case of two hehe. You wouldn't live long laughing at them

I have one late 30s female anime local friend who occasionally joins us.

But thanks to MAL The Later Years I get to talk shop with a lot of female fans of anime my age too.

If you watch several shows every day, you are still capable of being 'just a fan', it's whether you have no life outside of anime that you might have a problem.

Excellent choice, my friend. Used to be my favorite, got topped by Clannad.

I love anime but don't watch a lot of it, guess I don't have the time. My favorite by far is Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor. I realize it ain't everyone's cup of tea but I grew up watching the old ones and am a big fan of masked/armored super heroes so that could be one of the reasons I love it when many others don't. Also some of the manga fans weren't impressed but I don't expect most, if not all adaptations to surpass their source material (though this is one of the most accurate I've seen excluding the more modern style artwork present in more of today's anime).

Yes, I'm a fan recently got into it again, after not having watched any since DBZ as a kid.

I think my favorite of the ones I've watched so far is probably GUNxSWORD. I also liked DBZ (still), Naruto, Death Note, Claymore (until the crap ending anyway), Cowboy Bebop, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

I like anime, I have for the past few years. I have a bunch of favorites but when someone asks, I generally say Death Note because that's the one that got me into hardcore anime watching. But I also really enjoyed Clannad, Code Geass, Welcome to the NHK, and I'm currently watching Neon Genesis Evangelion. Loving every second of it.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
