i can download anime faster than i can watch it, several times faster. the standard 1080 episode comes through in just a few minutes. what good is the excess capacity doing for me?
>>31822 Then why pay for the faster internet in the first place? Is it really a luxury that matters that much? I have always had to wait a few days to download large series that I want to watch, or at least a few hours. Best internet I had growing up was 10 mbit down, but at the moment I get around 20 or so, which is a big improvement (It's actually 50 but I live in an apartment where I share wifi and no physical access to the router). Never has it let me down or bothered me in any way, and I like to download a lot of stuff.
>>31339 Why was anon banned?
>>31824 It was probably tokiko.
>>31824 >>31825 It's Tohno's post, so probably a test. Also, I don't comment on people's bans, take it to irc if you're curious. I'm replying instead of deleting because it seems this has to be reminded every X months.
Any of you guys got any pets?
>>28870 To elaborate; While the anime features some fantastic character designs and even some nice music here and there the rest of the anime is poorly written and directed. A major issue many had with it was the regular use of CGI during long segments of the series, typically whenever the bands would perform if memory serves correctly. I'm not even talking about cost saving corner cutting gci versions of characters used during hard to animate segments like many anime do. They'd transform into furry nendoroid versions of themselfs that looked like something out of the Sonic universe. Oddly enough too etotama aired in the same season and did something like that too with it's characters. Difference being etotama tried to make the characters look 2D during those segments while Show by Rock went for a look that made them look like figurines, which even the ED alludes to.
I did, but they all got taken away from me. Not because of myself, though, but because of people who wished to rob me of having one.
>>28865 It's a good show, if you enjoy music-themed anime and can get past the 3D Hello Kitty segments.

Because the last thread, http://tohno-chan.com/ot/res/15686.html, is now on auto sage.
What's a suitable automobile for the tohno-chan veteran?
>>28872 A 4rd, of course. I think most of us ib4f users have been forced to leave our hiki ways by now.
One that people won't try to rob you of. As long as you take care of it.
Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the items you have lost throughout your life.
>>29086 This. On an unrelated note, I haven't been around here in a while. When did tc get a captcha?
"What the fuck? How did you get this? Where did you get this? Why the shit are you giving me this garbage? You keep it, pawn it off to some shop you find or whatever, just get it out of my sight. Except my copy of Sonic Heroes, I want that but you can get rid of the rest, it's all useless to me you shady weirdo."
I can finally play Shadow the Hedgehog again.
I haven't thrown things out, but I've had a lot taken from me. You know those people. They say they borrow something but then they don't just pretend they lost it, they flat out rob you of it.
i came up with this idea that neets prefer to interact with the computer rather than humans because the computer is more trustworthy while humans are endlessly and inscrutably manipulative and deceptive. does this seem plausible, that people withdraw from human contact as a result of one too many backstabbings?
>>31757 >>31765 >neets prefer to interact with the computer rather than humans >pretty much universal among every NEET out there I don't think you understand what NEET means. It's an acronym that means (N)ot in (E)education, (E)mployment, nor (T)raining. You can be a NEET and simultaneously be an extremely extroverted person, pretty much the kind that would resemble the dog in pic related. For example, someone who doesn't work or study and plays in bars with their band for free would qualify; hobos that love congregating and drinking in corners with their fellow reprobates qualify as well, and so on. Maybe you're confusing NEETs with Hikikomori?
>>31757 I think you misunderstand what NEETs are, like what >>31766 mentioned. NEETs aren't necessarily withdrawn, introverted people, the definition of NEET is just an unemployed person. There are plenty of people on the dole that spend their days socialising.
I don't hate people, I just like being by myself. Being alone is great.
Is it weird to have your laptop like this in bed? Like before you go to sleep or something. Not a great drawing but I'm drunk and not an artist either.
Keeping your laptop on your bed like that could cause it to over heat due to the air intake on the bottom being blocked.
>>31725 Depends on the laptop. Some actually get air from the back, not the bottom. And some newer low-power laptops, such as Chromebooks, have no fans at all. They use ARM CPUs instead of x86, and even though they're slower, they make much less heat, similar to a phone or tablet.
I used do do that, but it wasn't comfy, so I got a monitor arm, attached it to my nightstand, and now I can achieve maximum sloth, not even having to turn my head.
I tend to put serveral pillows under my head so my neck doesn't hurt. While I prefer lying down with my laptop like that over using my desktop when I'm tired, I tend to not do it a lot because the area where I place the laptop (so either the chest or bladder area) will just end up hurting a lot.
the link to the ever growing collection of TC banner images went away recently, so here it is again http://tohno-chan.com/ban/ anyone who wishes to add to the collection is probably welcome to present any entries in here, but don't push your luck
>>31275 I like the banner thread but have slacked off posting in it the last year or two I only knew how much I would miss it after it was gone
Okay so lets say you're given the chance to get a do over on life and start over as a girl. There's a catch, but you get to pick the catch. - You can be a cute 2D anime girl, but it will be in the world of a horror anime and you die a slow painful death at an early age. - You're a cute 2d anime girl, but you are born blind and deaf, and can never be cured. - you can be born as whatever kind of girl you want, but you'll be born in the poorest part of south Africa. - you're an ugly 2D anime girl who's abused and molested by her father, bullied and treated like shit at school, you never get to have friends, and you die alone as a fat fujoshi. - you're a cute 2D anime girl from a typical slice of life anime with cute loving friends and are part of a club of your choosing, but you're forced to relive the same 13 days of high school until the end of time.
>you're a cute 2D anime girl from a typical slice of life anime with cute loving friends and are part of a club of your choosing, but you're forced to relive the same 13 days of high school until the end of time. This sounds fine to me.
I pick neither.
I want to be a cute boy instead.
i already am a cute anime girl
I've spent a lot of time on different forums and boards. Even been a part of my fair share of real life groups, teams and whatnot. There's one thing that irks me to no end - whatever the group, whatever the forum, there's always one or two people that seem to absolutely hate and detest me from the get-go. Whatever I try to do to appease them just furthers their disdain (as does distancing myself from them or ignoring them). The thing is, I'm a decently amiable person. I go out of my way to find common ground with nearly everyone and it usually works. Usually. Even if I don't get the person to like me, I can at least be on friendly terms with almost everyone. Almost. Yes there's that 'haters gonna hate' stuff. It doesn't help. I don't know if these people sniff vulnerabilities out or if I'm just making a major faux pax everwhere I go. Maybe it's just some cruel joke. I just don't know or even understand. Yet, I'll put on a tough face whenever this happens and say "pfft, whatever..." but it still hurts every time. Having to navigate through life like this is so very frustrating. Now then. Can anyone relate to any of this and maybe share some much needed armchair counseling?
>>31685 this seems like a pretty good analysis of the situation to me, i don't think i could have posted a better reply than that. > I found odd you chose a 3D reaction picture on a site that's particularly adamant about using 2D ones he also made an effort to reference his 3dpd social life, this is really more of an /so/ thread if it belongs anywhere on /tc/
Who gives a shit? You can't please everyone. Don't get hung up on things like that. But at the same time, maybe have some self-reflection -- are you socially awkward or something? Or is the problem with the other people? After all, there can be some weird people on forums.
>>31684 Well you made two faux pas in your post here. People don't like "reaction images" from that other imageboard, and the material of this post is more suited for /so/ than /ot/. You're also demonstrating that you have a somewhat self-absorbed worldview (which is nothing new for tohno-chan but still): you believe that everyone should like you. Honestly though, you probably just rub people the wrong way. Maybe your "amiable" personality comes off as a facade; I know people like that. You can tell when someone is genuinely being kind, and when they're putting on an act to ingratiate themselves with you. I'm not fond of such behavior myself. It seems like you do that a lot - By trying to find "common ground" with people, you probably distance them even more because you seem disingenuous. Some also dislike outsiders by nature, not everyone is welcoming, which can't be helped. This isn't really criticism, though it might come across that way. I don't know you. This is all inferred from a single post on an imageboard. I could be wrong, I don't have all the information. Even on the internet (especially in this day and age where so much of our social interaction is done through it) being treated poorly by others is painful. We all have our methods to handle the immense pain of co-existing with others. You'll be okay, just try to understand that not everyone has to like you simply because you aren't an asshole.
>>31691 I think you're being too harsh. OP doesn't seem that bad. But the fact of the matter is that you can't please everyone. There's no point in trying.
A lot of people talk about visiting Japan, but if you had the option to full on move there, would you do it?
I see two benefits to moving to Japan. Firstly, because of my continual exposure of it through media, Japan makes me feel comfortable. Secondly, I can fully cut myself off from my family. Once I have enough money, I'm going to move out and never talk to my family again. I'm not obligated to stay anywhere, so I might as well live in Japan. I'm already learning Japanese because of hentai and I'm already in Asia, so moving to Japan won't be a big culture shock.
I do consider moving to Japan in a few years. The main problem is that Japan isn't very immigrant friendly. To move there you basically need to find a job before you go there or marry a Japanese woman. They only want people that pay taxes. But learning Japanese is a good first step.
Serious question, is it really that you like Japan that much, or is it more that you just dislike your current living situation and you want to escape?
>>31686 It's both. I do not like my current living situation, and I want to escape. When that time comes, it'll be when I have enough to move where I want. Since I can move anywhere, I might as well pick the country that I feel the most comfortable.
