My little sisters are 9 and 11, and they love anime like I do. They prefer English dubs, but they'll watch Japanese subs, too. They like shows like Sailor Moon (Stars is their favorite), Kaleido Star, Pretear, and Princess Tutu. (They thought Wedding Peach OK)

The problem is they want to see more shows, but I don't know any that are appropriate for them. They dislike childish shows like Tokyo Mew Mew or Mermaid Melody. They like animes that are complex and have a good plot, yet are still kid-friendly. Maybe something like Shugo Chara or Skip Beat?

Also, they want to watch Ghost Hunt, but it's kind of scary, so I don't know. It's rated PG 14, but so is Sailor Moon and they didn't mind it. They also want to see Peach Girl and Revolutionary Girl Utena...Should I let them watch these? One of them is just a 4th grader after all. What are some other good animes for this age range? Thanks :)

Could you at least list new and popular pop songs with a guy and girl singing together? I know it's a bad description, but I've looked on all the charts and can't find it the name of the song or artist.

A guy and a girl that sounds like Ellie Goulding sing it. I can't really hear what the lyrics are but I've caught bits like, "will carry us" or something.

It kinda sounds like an mixture of Adele and Train. It has this almost Spanish beat and a kind of saxophone that plays the tune for a while and then they sing.

All my life I thought I liked boys. I had a couple crushes, but was never boy crazy. But even as a kid I knew I felt different about girls but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I had two boyfriends in middle school and even though I liked them, with both of them I felt like something was...missing. Like I would think, "This is it?"

Freshman year I found myself staring at the beautiful older girl in my study hall. And her cute boyfriend. I knew right away that I didn't want to be her, but to be with her. It didn't really matter to me that I liked just one girl but then I would have dreams about girls kissing me, touching me. It freaked me out at first but then the dreams turned to fantasies and I realized that I was at least bi.

I never cared that I liked both because I thought it didn't matter, I'd end up with a boy in the end. But now that I think about it, I haven't had a crush on a boy in years. I hear songs like "I wanna see your peacock!" and shudder. Penises gross me out, and I don't really want one in me or my mouth. I don't like muscular masculine bodies, facial hair, leg hair...ew.

Girls bodies turn me on. I've never been turned on by male body. I like girls emotionally too, but not men emotionally. But what about the occasional guy that I like? I think Zac Efron is cute, his face, not his body. That's usually how it goes, I'll like a guys face every once in a blue moon, but they're body is a turnoff. I love Enrique Iglesias is cute, personality too, but even then I wish he would be a girl.

Should I read all the books first and then watch all the movies OR read the first book, watch that movie, read the second book then watch the second movie, etc.?

Or doesn't it matter? I just don't want the movies to spoil the next book or something. Thanks!

I'm a girl, 17 years old. No matter how much I exercise and cut calories, I still keep gaining weight. I eat healthy; fruits, veggies, nothing processed, everything 100% whole grain. I am 5' 5" and used to weight ideally 120 lbs, but now I'm 135 and I can't get rid of it! I don't get it, eat super healthy and even at 1000 calories I still gain weight! I play soccer, run, do intense workout videos, but still nothing.

I started seeing these symptoms around age 14 and they are getting worse; I would say I have depression, am irritable, moody, and my hair definitely thinning noticeably, I'm sensitive to being cold, I have dry skin, I'm always tired and have no energy, I sleep 10 hours and still lay down in the afternoon because I'm so tired, feel hopeless, not joy in daily activities like I used to, and I think I have low blood pressure, and my dad has hypthyroidism.

And BMI? Thanks.

Should I go to an art college to become something with drawing anime/manga or not, and if so, what do you think are the chances I'll get a job with this

Hi, I'm a 5' 5'' 16 year old girl. A couple months ago I used to weigh 155 lbs. (yeah, I know..). I decided to do something about that and started eating right. Even though that's all I did (I didn't exercise) I lost 19 lbs in those couple months by eating healthy. I decided to start exercising to help lose it faster. I would ride an exercise bike for 30 minutes. So now I am 136 and I have stayed that way for the last month, and it hasn't changed. At all. I am doing everything the exact same as I was when I first started shedding pounds. I don't get it, I used to lose a lb. per day and now I can't even lose a lb. per week! What am I doing wrong? Here's my day:

5:15 AM ~ Eats a 180 calorie Omega 3 walnut mixture packet

5:30 - 6:00 AM ~ 30 minutes of hardcore, riding exercise bike

6:00 AM ~ Eats a bowl of Whole Grain Rice Krispies w/ milk or plain oatmeal

9:30 AM ~ Eats 1/2 a pack of another Omega 3 walnut pack

11:45 AM ~ Eats 1 serving of veggies or 1 of fruit

3:30 PM ~ Eats other 1/2 of that packet and applesauce or some single fruit.

4:00 PM ~ PB sandwich (organic bread and Omega 3 peanut butter)

4:30 - 5:30 PM ~ An hour of hardcore riding bike.

5:30 ~ 2 servings of veggies or fruit

7:30 ~ Whatever is for supper (spaghetti, stir fry, etc.)

That's it. I do not eat anything artificial. I measure everything. I write everything in a journal so I don't go over 1000 calories. Everything I eat is natural, whole grain, and whole wheat.

I drink 10 cups of water normally but with 90 minutes heavy exercise it's probably more like 12.

I don't get what I am doing wrong. Not enough vegetables? Not enough sleep? [I fall asleep at 9 and get up at 5, so that's 8 hours of sleep...]

If I am missing something totally obvious, please tell me!

Any suggestions? Anything at all? Comments? Advice? Please help! This is driving me insane! I know that people lose so much and then it gets hard, but what do I do?

Thanks :)

Please tell me how I can improve them, and what I should work on. Please don't be afraid to say anything and be honest. Thank you :)

I fell in absolute love with Junjo Romantica and waited for months for Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi in excitement. I don't like watching 1 episode a week, so I waited until it finished airing and a little bit after to see if they'd announce a season 2 (which based on the number of mangas I kinda doubt there will be one, but who knows lol).

I think maybe I was comparing it to Junjo Romantica, and was having high expectations for it, but I wasn't impressed. I don't know why I didn't care for it, if it was the characters or the story or what, but I just got really bored with it. I think if I had watched Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi before Junjo Romantica I would have liked it better.

Okay, so anyways, what did you think about it? Am I the only one who was kind of disappointed? What did you think of the characters and plot? etc.

:)

Okay, so I've heard of this show, but I don't know if I'll like it, but I plan on giving it a try. But just curious, based on what animes I like, do you think I'll like it? Or will it be not my style?

And in case Bleach is anything like it, then I loved the first season of Bleach, but I absolutely hated anything past that point. I usually like shoujo, with some exceptions (Elfen Lied, Death Note, etc.)

I like a little fighting and action, but not if it's the main thing. (if it's mainly about ninjas and stuff, I probably won't care for it.)

I've also been watching Durarara and I've heard it's like that. So far it's kinda interesting, but not a total fave (in case that helps)

Thanks guys! :D

Something unique and interesting, that will pull you in like Revolutionary Girl Utena, Death Note, Elfen Lied.

-Oh, and please don't say Bleach, Naruto, etc.

Okay, I'm 16 and my friend invited me over for her birthday. We've been friends since we were little, but we live hours apart so we rarely see each other. I haven't seen her in 2 years and she invited me to stay the night at her house and then come with her and her friends tubing the next day. Then we'd spend the night in a cabin there.

The thing is, I told her yes before I found out that we'd be tubing. I hate lakes. I always have. I won't set a foot in the water. I want to tell her that I hate lakes, but I don't want to sound like a downer, and I don't want her to change the plans (she's having 6 other friends over too and I'm sure they're all looking forward to it).

But at the same time, I don't want to spend the whole time on the sidelines like I did at another party (they were swimming in the lake and I sat in the grass for 3 hours. It was awful and boring. I wish I hadn't come.)

But I don't want to skip either, I am really looking forward to seeing her and her friends (I know some of her friends).

I'd feel bad suggesting that we do do something else (like water balloons or water gun fight), that seems so selfish. I mean, I could see asking that if it was just me and her, but her friends will be there too..

What do I do? It's like a no-win situation. Please help :(

1) What's your favorite anime of all time?

2) What anime do you think deserves more attention?

3) How addicted would you consider yourself to anime?

4) Do your friends like anime too?

5) Harems or reverse harems?

6) Short animes or long animes?

7) Action or romance?

8) Yuri or yaoi?

9) Anime or manga?

10) Ever had a same sex anime crush? If so, who?
