    Korean/Japanese Dramas

    My friends wanted me to watch Secret Garden because they said it was really good. I was thinking of starting it soon as my first k-drama.

    Favorite Video Game Music?

    I really like FF osts in general. They are always really catchy and memorable. I also really like KH music, Yoko Shimomura is very talented.

    Death Note

    I enjoyed the show. It really shows how someone with idealistic and good morals can become power-hungry and even sociopathic in their crusade in what they believe is best for the world. Even though it's supernatural and overdramatized, the theme is very much something that happens in reality and...

    Struggles with Gender Dysphoria

    I believe she was a therapist who was at the very least open minded and respectful about my gender issues. Even very supportive. Sadly I only have one more session with her because she is going inactive due to small children. So I have to find a new one. She advised me to find a therapist who...

    The representation of God(or gods and goddesses) within Anime

    Well Buddhism is a philosophy and belief more than a religion. You can technically attach Buddhist principles to a religion you follow. That's why Shinto is the main religion while Buddhism is an attached belief and philosophy. Yeah the extreme fanservice is pretty terrible. I would either...

    The representation of God(or gods and goddesses) within Anime

    As grandvizier1006 said, though aspects of Hinduism affected Japanese culture, I believe it's mainly Shinto and Buddhist philosophy that are the main beliefs. I have never seen an anime or manga that portrayed the Christian/Judeo God as inherently evil and Satan as good. The only portrayal...

    The representation of God(or gods and goddesses) within Anime

    In different anime what has the concept of God or gods and goddesses been? Have they been positive? Negative? Or just something that's there? What are also the most interesting representations of a divine being that you have seen? And has there been any that are pretty close to the...

    What University should i go to for animation

    Like James said, it doesn't matter in the long run. But one university that I know has a good program is SCAD, but it is very expensive.

    Concerning Genesis and the creation of humankind

    As I was rereading Genesis, I got really confused by the account of human creation. In Genesis 1:27 it reads: This takes place during the fifth day. Later on in Genesis 2:7 it says: And after that God creates woman to be Adam's helper. However, what were the human beings created...

    Tongues

    I know someone who can speak in a Tongue. It's pretty amazing and it sounds like a very ancient Hebrew/Arabic sort of language. They never learned it either, it just happens through the Holy Spirit.

    Struggles with Gender Dysphoria

    Well I don't know. It's incredibly hard for me to really explain how I feel. I'll try to go into a bit more explanation though. For one thing I'm not really super masculine or super feminine. Like most people I am a mix of both and I am fine with that. I've never felt like I was too masculine...

    Struggles with Gender Dysphoria

    So hello! I have been struggling with a problem called gender dysphoria for a long time. I've basically had it ever since I was nine or ten and it was something that happened unconciously and slowly over time. Sort of like a build up and I always felt sort of awkward and different from my...
