Kurokusari

That and if you consider the years she's been walking the earth idk how you can be a pedo. Women's ages in anime is pretty much vague everywhere so it could break your sense of age anyway

Yeah I've also saw this too on a different forum. It was a request/giveaway thread when everyone can request and some people will pick it up. Ofc there's also people just randomly giving it away. Doing it here doesn't seem like bad idea but I haven't been in this forum for a long time but I can't really see much people interested in GFX. That or they're lurking around and hiding their awesomeness. Also, they soon formed a group that will take on the requests of the forum members so there won't be ignored requests that could put some people down.

Seems like sports is taken seriously by not only the citizens but everyone else, in different countries. The only sports that people focus on here is basketball and volleyball. That and boxing. Although I say boxing, the only high profile figure here is Manny Pacquiao. Another fun fact: Whenever Pacman has a fight, which is always Sunday here, the streets are empty. By empty, the traffic is extremely smooth. You could even walk on the road in some parts. I still remember this as a kid but not much now since he's been losing quite a lot. This is also something that I find irritating. How can the people only support him in the good times when he needs it more when he's losing? I'll stop here since the rant might go on hahaha

Sounds like the competition here is everywhere. I find it as a good thing since there's something to strive for in competitions. Rooting for sports teams seems like a thing in most countries. Here in the PH, there are a lot of people rooting for at least one team in basketball here in the country (with the names being brand names unlike the cool ones you people use) and it's not limited to males. I've seen a lot of girls in class chatting about basketball. I have to say tho, I'm not one of those fans. I don't really hate basketball but I don't love it either. While I'm at it, we also have University competitions called the UAAP (University Athletic Association of the Philippines). Not all Universities are included, just a few of them (with one of those being my university, good luck figuring it out). There are also some funny traditions in the UAAP. No offense intended to anyone but the University of the Philippines always lose when it comes to basketball. By always pretty much all the time. Recently, they broke the 27-game losing streak and set up a bonfire in the university (this was in the news lol). Culinary stuff. When it comes to those we have some good food (we're Asian so you know what I mean by good). Jokes aside, there are a lot of foreigners who really enjoy the Filipino cuisine when they visit the country. We have all sorts of dishes so I can't really list them down. We also eat the so-called Balut which is pretty much a bird fetus. <<< I can attest that it's good food.

I guess my country takes religion too seriously compared to the other countries. Well, it's not really bad considering that religion comes with some good morals. Not that a lot of people follow them. I hope those fireballs are fireworks and not missiles. Some smart cops here in the PH shoot their guns toward the sky during New Year. Does it hit anybody? Yes. Do they die? Some. Is it illegal? Yes, but who cares about the safety of others? I want to shoot to celebrate.

That thread sounds good to me but I don't know if there'll be much participants aside from us. Well it could serve as the trigger for some people to start. I'm no genius in teaching but I'll try, if it does happen. And I've looked up this Tatsujin guy. Coincidentally, our birthdays are only one day apart, him being born later. Edit: Just a bit curious but do you have a sample of his work? I've visited the link in his profile and if he's the one who did the UI for the site, he has my respect. I'm yet to properly learn how to design a decent GUI so I have to say, it's one good inspiration.

This certainly sounds like someone from the PH having Chinese descent. That red envelope here is usually called 'Aguinaldo'(named after the first president) here. I guess the Chinese people are same regardless where there are, I guess.

Can't disagree with this being a harem series thorough and through. Just looking at the indecisive protagonist is enough for it to be a harem series. I don't really hate Kamito but he could be better. I can't see any romance getting better here tho. If he chooses too early, the series will end. Harem can't go on if the MC is taken (except if it goes NTR or yandere, which I doubt). If the choosing happens at the end, nothing can really happen. That said, I'd rather him actually ending up with someone. I don't want an open harem end or an end where all the girls love that indecisive &$%^&. *The &$%^& means that I can't describe anything worse

Our history is full of only being colonized. I don't think we did any conquering or anything remote to that at all. Coincidentally, one of the countries that colonized us was Spain but the one who led the expedition that lead to PH being discovered by the other countries is a Portuguese. The thing about religion is also the same here in the PH (funny since that expedition led to the inhabitants to convert to Roman Catholic) where majority are Catholics but not really that into the practices. Although the Church still has considerable influence here since there are bills that can't be passed due to being opposed to the Catholic faith. There are still people that are active in their faith but not really that many (teens here don't find religion cool). They're not exactly few tho, too.

This privatization. There's one heavy deal here in the PH. There's only one supplier of electricity here (that's right pure monopoly) and it was once owned by the government but some geniuses thought of transferring it to certain people (these people are ofc, influential). Now the electricity here is high as hell and we can't do anything about it. Like the internet, we have one heck of expensive internet connection but the price:speed ratio is crap. You could research about it and see what I mean. This crackpot thing is somewhat familiar to me for some reason. I think I've heard some stories about researches that were buried deep calling it wrong only to be picked up afterwards and accept it. I don't think a country could actually change that easily anyway. The will of the people and the leaders or one thing but actually changing will be one heck of a challenge. That and the first hurdle can't even be overcame by not only countries, but just about any large group.

It's pretty interesting how people can be that proud for something, more so that it's a gun since it's not really practical to have around. Given that there are state firearms laws. So it's the opposite here in my country regarding state pride. Here, you'll be hard-pressed to find someone who can honestly say that they are proud of this country. The patronage is terrible with our products and the country itself. You can see teens boasting about how their stuff are imported but you won't find one that will boast about how his stuff is local. Also, our country is one of the most corrupted countries despite the small size. You could see it with the poverty almost everywhere here. That and there are tons of issues popping up here and there. Although you can't really say that there's a country without any problems at all. The history part about the revolution is really interesting. First time I've heard of it. Accepting your shortcomings is good and all but this is almost self-loathing to me. Well, I'm not from Australia so I'll say no more.

These things are so negative and it also gave me a good laugh. I did my best to not focus on the negative stuff in my opening post and this is what comes next. So does the loathing part apply to you, too? XD Another lover of strikethrough.

What I thought these kind of things always end up with the first heroine being always the winner. In this case, Claire. Given that it has been a long time since I've last read the LN, I've always thought that he was going with Claire. And I hope this next volume will be about Restia.

So yeah this thread is about sharing your country's own culture and tradition and maybe even some stories about it. I've known a certain person that travels around the world as part of his work and he always had some good stories to tell about how other people in different countries' live their lives. I've always thought it was interesting and I wanted to know more about how's the culture and tradition of the other countries. I think most (if not all) countries have their own quirks and I do find it both educational and entertaining. While I know that there are people here that don't want to tell where they're from, you can also share some of your stories you heard from others. Some of us here travels around, too, so you could also share whatever stories you may have. What, google it and research? What's 'google'? Is that edible? Anyway to start it off I'll share some of my country's features Doesn't really indicate anywhere but I'm from the Philippines. That's right people I'm from the country that annoys the hell out of everyone in the internet and games. >Unlike most countries', our diet mainly consists of rice. I know that other people also eat rice but the quantity is much different. There are the reserved people that only eats 2 servings then there's the people who eats 10 servings. Fun fact: There's a fastfood chain here called "Mang Inasal" where there is a feature called Unlimited Rice Works "Unli Rice" where you can get as many servings of rice as you can. >Our culture and tradition is a mixture from a lot of countries because we were occupied by 3 different countries in the past. >The Philippines have more than 100 languages spoken in the country. Although there are only 8 major ones, there are people who can only speak 2 like me. I can only speak Tagalog and English. Fun fact: Although people mostly recognize our official language as Tagalog, it's official name is called Filipino. Well I could list down some more but the other Filipinos might have some problems listing some of the ones they also want to share. TL;DR: Share some of your country's own features. Please don't tell me you only read this line.

That or celebrate everything. Everyday Christmas sounds good to me.

I think people move their birth dates when they are born on a leap year. Either moved forward by one or backwards. People celebrate anniversaries, whatever it is for some reason. My take on this is somewhere along the lines of because of childhood. Birthdays are usually celebrated out of our parents'/guardians' love for us. Heck I've seen people cry their eyes out the first time they see their child so ofc they will celebrate the day they started their lives with them. Point being, they celebrate it and thus equal to presents and food. Kinds love gifts don't they? And I don't think it's limited to children alone. So yeah if you had some good time during your past birthdays, those memories come along the special day each year. But for me it's mostly because foooood.

We don't even know my gender so don't take it seriously. My real strike zone is anything flat close to my age so maybe there is but I have no plans to form any relationships other than friendships in here. Maybe rivalry due to my stupid competitiveness but it just happens~

Confession: >I stalk watch people's activities in the online list for no reason. >I know what you did last summer I use strikethrough too much and I don't plan on stopping.

Are they in my strike zone? Thanks for the welcome and I'm definitely enjoying my time here.

There's so much love for Mayu-mayu and not enough love for Benio. I don't hate Mayu-mayu because she's a loli adorable but doesn't anyone else love those allies of justice? I find it both cute and admirable tbh Mayu-mayu: adjustable glasses transparency/10 Benio: flat justice/10

Glad to know that there's someone I can turn to when I need to review and maybe fully relearn using c4ds. I always used fractals with c4ds and I still use fractals one way or another so I guess I'll only need to relearn half of my old style when I need to pick up c4ds again.

Don't worry too much about the artwork. The illustrator might be different but the new one is trying his best to imitate the original artwork so the outcome wouldn't be that different. I have no idea how the anime turned out. I dropped it after episode 2 since it made me feel like an idiot getting hyped. The hype was enough for me to stay awake until 3 am (with classes where I need to wake up at 4) to watch the raws. Then shit hit the fan the very first episode and I thought maybe it will get better but it didn't . . . I decided to stop my image of the LN gets messed up, too.

Thanks! Seems like we're fellow newbies here. There are 2 ways to strike through your heart <3 Method 1: Method 2: Please choose the 2nd method. Wahaha more striekthrough!!! Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks! Btw those bubble thingies are called Bokehs. You can just google them if it ever interests you to use them. As for the C4Ds, I can't really say I'm good in using them. There was a time that I was using them and I could say that it was decent but I didn't really like it that much. I've stopped using them since then (although I still have some resources stored in my lappy) and tried different stuff. Right now my style is mostly bright things that will give your eyes cancer. But if someone did request a c4d-style sig then I'll try again ofc. No prob and I'll be glad to help you then. Doing this is somewhat also practice and self-satisfaction so I'm no saint. XD

No prob and thanks for the credit. Glad you like it very much!
