I didn‘t like it at first either. And it‘s pretty faithful to the manga so it‘s not them rushing it for the anime. I remember thinking „they‘re already descending?!“ when I expected them to do some delver work first and maybe go through whistle ranks. But nah, it‘s all about the journey through the abyss.
If something like that isn‘t your cup of tea you will probably still enjoy watching it, but if not then I doubt you‘ll love it as much as you hear people say.
Yeah, I finished ep 4 and Im expectant... Like I still dont know if I like it. Feels rushed, but at the same time feels like an introduction. They did... nothing, and they got zero opposition.

I like the setting and the world building but... Instead of an epic journey to discover the secrets of a hidden and mysterious world it feels like a one way ticket to hell, all for the delusion of a dumb kid.

Theres still many questions that need answers so its soon to judge though.

Yeah.. well. It's definitely not going to be what you're thinking it's going to be. I thought the same and I was heavily disappointed.

It's still a good manga/anime. But it's not what you think/want it to be.

Meant the voting '-' My artistic abilities are limited to writing, and that only Sheep and Mafia game stories.

A different development than most tomboys
Far far was a tomboy or are you saying that because of the haircut?

Well it will get better from now.

Though true it's a pretty depressing series.Riko is suicidal.

Won't say I was a tomboy but I was apathetic about girlish stuff? I guess he was joking anyway
Ahh. I see. So was I. A kid should be a kid and not worry about whether they fit the stereotype or not imo.

That's the mentality we have, he can like and/or do whatever the fuck he wants. He already owns the most girlish My Little Pony plushie because he loved it.

But when I look around, to the other people that have/are having kids, there's not one that really does that. My family included when it's about my son or my sister's kid. Everything either blue or pink. There's no in-between.

My parents are a whole other thing though, they only buy neutral stuff so they can both play with it. :lmao
They got mad at me when I bought my niece this awesome princess carriage with all kinds of shit included, to play with at my parents house. "It's pink and girly, how is Conan supposed to play with that?" :fail

Yeah, kids shouldn't care and end up being casual. Looks maintenance is too time consuming even for adults.
I recall being told during my uni times I should pluck my brows xP I guess you can work around it with your kid if it becomes a bullying case or something...

I think parents should be prepared for how the world will treat your kid though, 'cause sadly a lot of people will try to make him/her fit inside little boxes and there should be a concern regarding how to deal with it, since people in general can be cruel in spite of how old the person is... As much as I want my *future fingers crossed* kid to be free, I don't want him/her to get caught in an endless suffering spiral, and it scares me a bit if I'd be able to help him/her out through their life.

That's a big phone she has! :o


Also, people. Apparently there's a live-action Woody Woodpecker film and it's been out since October (in Brazil anyway). @Farfalla kept this horrible treasure a secret from me and I won't forgive her.

also the movie finished second after Blader Runner in the box office what :emocat

I take it, fun reason to end up in someone's dead-to-me list '-'

It's been out only here o.O? I know we love that cartoon and Chavo a lot but that's odd.

When you begin to miss your regular co worker who has not returned from vacation after a month.

My son told me a while back that he wants a dress like one of the (male) characters in a kids cartoon he likes.

In the film, the character in the dress (a thief who dressed as a lady to break-and-enter without suspicion) is told by his thief pal to change his clothes back, and he says “why? I like these clothes!”. There’s not really any more discussion about it after that, but my son still asked me when the film was over why they told him to change clothes. Then we had the whole talk about how a lot of people think only girls should wear one kind of clothing and boys another, but there’s no reason boys can’t wear dresses etc etc. He listened super intently, thought for a bit and said “I want a thief-dress, too!” :XD

I told him we might not find one exactly like in the film, but there are lots of other kinds, and his immediate response was “Pirate dress! With skulls, and swords!!”

So I guess I’m gonna have to find a pirate dress for my son. :cookiehand

That's true I'm a free person because my parents never forced anything but...I wasn't prepared when I entered my adult years...It was until now I became completely comfortable.
I had alittle off and on confusion sometimes at 21-22 but I shrugg it off...It takes guts and not giving a damn. I always been strong will which is considered difficult to friends and family but that stubborness kept me grounded...
I refuse to be a sheep and I'll teach my kids to be independent and free will.

You could also get a giant pirate flag for that? If you can't find a dress.

Yeah, a long time ago it was the other way around for some reason (I can't remember why), but they changed it in the 50s(?), I think.
