Who's the worst male lead in recent romance anime history?  For me, it's definitely Makoto Ito....this is same reason why School Days is the worst romance anime ever.

Who do you think can qualify as one of the weakest characters in all of shonen anime/manga? Specifically, characters who get decent amount of screen time (instead of completely forgettable filler passerby's), but are supremely impotent and always are useless in battle.  Do such characters even exist XD since usually they don't get enough screentime. If you think of any, tell us below in the comments! 
(welp, sorry for the long wait) Chapter Two: Gathering of Shadows Suddenly, the portal appeared below the school and swallowed the students. The portal’s roar faded as Kairi, Yoshinori, and Mia tumbled into a world between worlds, a shadowy realm of shifting colors and ancient magic. Lightning flashed overhead. The air buzzed with energy and danger. Before they could gather their senses, a figure landed gracefully beside them. Pixraa, with her sharp eyes and mysterious aura, flicked a strand of hair from her face. “You three sure know how to make an entrance.” Yoshinori blinked, realizing he’d landed next to a very cute girl, Mia, who was already blushing. “A-Are you alright?” he stammered. Mia nodded, her cheeks pink. A swirl of cold swept through as Kiyan stepped from the mist, his knives gleaming. “We don’t have time. Something’s coming.” From the darkness, a deep voice echoed. “Welcome, little heroes.” Darshan, brilliant and dangerous, emerged with a smirk, flanked by Ale, who tripped over his own feet and fell into the mud. “Ignore him,” Darshan said, barely glancing at Ale. “You have bigger problems.” Doc sprinted past, notebook in hand, muttering, “I’ll log this in the records!”. Checkers, the experienced mentor, appeared with a reassuring nod. “Stay sharp, everyone. This place tests your spirit.” Suddenly, a blast of shadow magic sent everyone scattering. A tall, cloaked figure, the infamous FORSAKEN, landed in the center of the chaos, eyes glowing with a strange light. “The weak will not survive here,” he said, drawing a glowing blade. Grey darted forward, loudly proclaiming, “I’m obviously the most important here, so follow me!” No one listened, but she didn’t seem to notice. Chloe, half-hidden in the swirling shadows, signaled to Kairi. “The true villain is watching us.”   In the distance, a figure stood on a floating platform: Akito, the misunderstood main villain, watching the chaos unfold with sad, thoughtful eyes.   From the shadows, Mike and Haruto joined the group, weapons drawn.   “We’re with you,” Mike said quietly, his voice steady. Haruto grinned, ready for action.   As the group braced for battle Kairi drew her dagger, eyes fierce. “This is our chance. Together, we fight no matter what shadows we face.” .... .... ... unknown voice: You are still here?, Hmm, you must not have been satisfied with what you got then, which is fair since it was edited more to show the lies and never the truth of this part, the reason for it... is something I am not allowed to tell you, but however, I can reveal who I am... I am the narrator of this story, yes, I know that it is confusing that I am saying all of this, but bear with me for a moment. From here on, the story that you would have gotten was something that a certain character would have written, and the facts would never separate from the truths at this rate, so welcome to the neural parts of this chapter First off, Akito is more important the- Never mind that, I am not allowed to say any more than this, goodbye dear reader, and I will catch you in the next one

In the anime world, there are two distinct types of villains. Those who's actions are bad, and harmed a lot of people, but they have a chance to rehabilitate and repent for what they've done. They are the forgivable villains, and in most cases anime antagonists fall into this category. However, there are also extremely vile, evil to the core, abhorrent villains who are incorrigible and do not repent for their actions. Which anime antagonists do you think fall into either of the categories? Share one of each, or more, below!  Personally I believe Itachi, Orochimaru, and Pain are the forgivable ones, and Obito, Madara, and Kaguya are the incorrigible ones. Naruto characters are all that I can think of rn xD 😅.

first off, I work in layers so this is going to look roughthis is the first layer or rather this is what I started off with lol this is one of my messed up ones, I was forced to scrap it but it became a basic for me to work on this one was a little bit more better then the last one that I scrapped from here, I worked on where shadows might be at this was better, I lighted some of the shadows and focused on the background but I made it too  dark for the hair to show and I really regret that from here I lost my motivation and this is my final product (I really hate the fact that I made the background too dark for the hair to be showed but which one was your favorite? lol that is my pain of animating

Yes, let's admit it. Some waifus are plain evil and there's simply no reason to like them..who comes to mind first? Share it down below!  For me, Zero Two. She's a typical manipulator, abuser, and literally serial killer. Idgac about her past, her actions are evil and Hiro deserve better.

As someone who dreamed a lot when I was younger, I remember the weirdness of having an embarrassing, laughably fictional dream that nevertheless seemed very real. Growing older though, I no longer really have those dreams or remember them. So, what's the most embarrassing dream you can remember? It can be recent, a while ago or even many years ago! Share it below, let us into your dreamscape xD.  Btw please do not talk about wet dreams, I figured somebody will say something like that. It is not appropriate and not on topic.

Ok let's go in for another rant. Feel free to click this off whenever. What the heck is wrong with the 1500 elo range? I'm talking specifically in the rapid format, although I'm fairly certain similar phenomenon happen in blitz and maybe even bullet too. My path from 1000 to 1500 was actually relatively smooth, and while there were some pretty frustrating moments and tilts, overall it seems like a normal climb up the lower intermediate rating ladder. By playing games, and maybe watching some Gotham videos and doing chess.com and lichess puzzles, I was able to climb from 1000 to 1500 fairly quickly. However, once I reached the mid 1500s all hell broke loose. Seriously wtf is wrong with 1500 elo chess players? There are people outplaying you with 91.5% accuracy in a 35 move game even though you didn't even blunder: Or there are people who, while not playing perfectly like their surname is fish, gets into crazy tactical positions where they calculate several moves ahead and always prevail. There's just too many of the latter case so I won't show them here, feel free to go to my profile and see some lower accuracy games and you'll probably find one.  Formerly I believed 1500 was the "higher lower intermediate" or just intermediate, but honestly some opponents play well above their level in accuracy and tactical brilliancy, so much more so than anything I've seen before. The difference is so great that even if I'm slightly stronger than I am now, I'm probably still not beating those monstrosities. My theory is that either there's a perpetual, self-reinforcing loop of underrating occurring at this level, or somehow cheaters max out at the lower intermediate range. I have some doubts about the latter though, since 1] Cheaters usually cheat either for clout or ego maxxing, but being 1500 chess.com rapid doesn't exactly achieve that, and 2] sometimes they don't play high accuracy whole game, but have insane tactical foresight or endgame skills that no ordinary 1500 would have.  So my question is, what's wrong with 1500 chess.com rapid? Why are they exceptionally strong compared to 1400s, for example? Usually a 100 elo difference is significant but not invincible, and it is not exactly a major upset to see someone rated 100 lower beating their opponent. However it is almost impossible for 1400s to win against these monstrous 1500s. I'm also curious if there are other roadblocks along the elo ladder, and specifically at what rating? for those rated higher than me and gone through this experience, share it in the comments below. I would also like to know how you got past this monstrous 1500 "gate of hell" level? Finally, anyone willing to help me out, in particular improving to 1600, I would be very grateful. Anyway for those of you who read this far, thanks for reading, have a good day, peace.

Previously we  ended on the fall of Busan, South Korea and a strange transmission. Radio Operator: Captain Yamagumo did you hear that? Captain Yamagumo: I heard loud and clear. Admiral Ivan: (on radio) I also heard as well. So captain. What do we do? Captain Yamagumo: (on radio) We should check it out. However, we should proceed with caution. It could be a trap. Admiral Ivan: (on radio) Okay then. We will follow your lead (While South Korea slowly started falling to the undead. Tony and the others were heading to Hong Kong, China to check a radio transmission coming from what seems to be an British Expeditionary Force that was sent to aid Chinese Forces from letting the vital city fall. However after a week Chinese forces were overwhelmed and started a massive retreat to the Great Wall of China to hold them back. The British Expeditionary force however was trapped and left behind by the Chinese and decided to hold out at the British Embassy.) (Hong Kong, China) Commander Erwin: Well men how many ammo crates do we have left? Young Soldier: Only two commander. Only enough for two days depending on how big the horde is. Commander Erwin  How about the tanks, any ammo for the main turrets and the machine guns? Tank Commander: Both tanks only have one shell left, sir, and we lost the ammo crates for the machine guns were lost two days ago. Commander Erwin: Our only hope is this radio transmission. (speaks low enough for only him to hear) God Bless us all! (Little did they know that help would arrive in a day) (back at USS Enterprise) Captain Yamagumo: (on speakers of Enterprise) All pilots be prepared to take off when I give the signal. Admiral Ivan: (on radio speaking between the cruisers) Load the guns and be prepared to fire at the coast. We will need to have a party outside of the ships and prepare to fight. (Russian Sailors yell in an agreement and start preparing for what lies ahead.) (2 hours before they arrive to Hong Kong) (Radio transmissions coming from USS Enterprise to the British Expeditionary forces.) Captain Yamagumo: (on the radio): Hello to whoever sent this radio transmission. This is Captain Yamagumo from USS Enterprise and my carrier and two Russian cruisers will assist in getting you out of Hong Kong. Over and Out. Admiral Ivan: (joins in on the transmission) Hello there as well. This is Admiral Ivan, commanding officer of both Russian cruisers Pyotr Veliky and Admiral Nakhimov. We will have a party to aid you in your extraction. Enterprise will radio back the coordinates of where we are when we reach the coast. Over and out. (Back at the British Embassy) Radio operator: Commander Erwin! We got a response back! Commander Erwin: Well from who? Radio operator: From USS Enterprise and two Russian Cruisers Pyotr Veliky and Admiral Nakhimov. They said they will give us coordinates of where they are when they reach the coast. Commander Erwin: And how far are they? Radio Operator: two hours away, sir. Commander Erwin: Alright then! (Turns attention to the tired and fatigued forces that were desperately waiting for extraction) Gentlemen, we are getting rescued and extracted by the USS Enterprise, Pyotr Veliky, and Admiral Nakhimov. However they can only get to the coast as it is too dangerous to get to Hong Kong. This means once again I'm asking you to fight our way to survival. Soldier: But what if it’s a trap? Commander Erwin: It could be but what other choice do we have. We can only hold out for so long before we are overruned by these dreaded beasts. (The Soldiers despite being skeptical decide that the Commander is right and decides to get ready for their fight for survival) (Two hours later) (The troops, Commander Erwin, and the radio operator wait for the radio transmission from Enterprise. After a couple of minutes it comes through.) Radio Transmission: This Captain Yamagumo of Enterprise. We are outside of Hong Kong near a crashed cargo ship. Radio operator: Hello Captain Yamagumo. Be advised that the area is a potential hotspot for hostile beings. We will get there as quickly as we possibly can. Captain Yamagumo: Understood! We will be expecting your arrival. (After that they had radio silence) Commander Erwin: We are gonna have to travel on the tanks. Get ready to get on them and load your guns as we will be fighting them beasts. (Everyone loads on the tanks and starts leaving. Luckily their area was clear initially and they took advantage of it which greatly aided in them getting closer to their goal. However a horde was gathering to the sound and the commander knew.) (Back at Enterprise, Pyotr Veliky, and Admiral Nakhimov a large party consisting of Japanese and American Soldiers along with Russian Sailors) Admiral Ivan: (speaks to the scout on Pyotr Veliky) Do you see anything? Scout: Negative, Sir. No one in sight. Scout:(from Enterprise) Captain Yamagumo! Look, sir. It’s a British Expeditionary force. Captain Yamagumo: Interesting to see the British here in Hong Kong. (takes binoculars) Lets see if there is anything else. (As Captain Yamagumo looks behind the British forces he realizes that there is a large horde coming this way) Captain Yamagumo: Tell the Soldiers and Sailors to be prepared to fight. Scout: Yes, Sir (As the Scout reported what was about to happen. He sees that they already noticed and started taking defensive positions.) (5 minutes later) Commander Erwin: We are almost there! Soldier: agreed but we would still have to fight those things before we all board safely. Commander Erwin: I know and we shouldn’t worry about that we have aid. (4 minutes later the British Expeditionary Forces arrived and a brutal fight started as everyone started retreating to the ships and the last two shells of the tanks were spent) Admiral Ivan: (To the gunners of both cruisers) Fire! (The Russian Cruisers provided fire support and devastated the horde but a larger horde was soon approaching. After 5 minutes everyone had safely been boarded on all three ships and they soon left the Chinese coast. Which was scarred with craters, blood, mangled bodies of the infected and humans that initially died before turning into the undead, and the shells of cars, planes, buildings, and roads. Giving the folks on board a realization that the world they once knew was gone and replaced by a new objective of survival.) (an hour after leaving Hong Kong) Commander Erwin: To Whom do I owe the pleasure of thanking for our rescue? Admiral Ivan and Captain Yamagumo: (In unison) No one. As it is, the world has fallen and the governments have collapsed. Many leaders of the world are dead or infected. And lastly our homes are gone and our lives are ruined. Commander Erwin: I see. So the world is gone and we were fighting for our survival hoping! Hoping that we would come back to our families, but instead this disease kills our family! Admiral Ivan: Well there is nothing we can do.  Commander Erwin: (Shouting) What do you know Admiral! You never fought in a day of your life and never have lost anything that was very precious to you! Admiral Ivan: (Speaks in a Commanding Voice) I do know what it is like losing someone precious. I lost my best friend in Moscow along with my two daughters, my wife died after hearing the news, and my son died trying to save me from these things. So yes I do know the feeling of losing family, friends, and a loved one. Also I have been fighting at Vladistov before it fell a day ago. Just because I am an Admiral doesn’t mean I haven't fought. It just means I was good at my job and made it at this rank by hard work. So next time don’t say anything if you don’t know Commander. Captain Yamagumo: Alright let’s call it a day. After all, we are still here and not chow for them. (each side cools down and everyone relaxes for now) to be continued...
