You don't wonder if I have recommendations, you wonder when I'll finally shut up about them. Spoiler Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Bladeworks. I recall you saying you haven't watched this one yet. It's made by the same studio that did Fate Zero, so the animation is incredible. It doesn't have the awesome black knight type mc as fate zero, but it does focus heavily on the contrast between the idealistic and young Shiro and a character that has a similar backstory and filosofy as Kiritsugu, so I think you'll still like it. Ancient Magus' Bride. It's a fantasy anime (currently airing) that doesn't have a lot of action, but the world and characters are very well writen. It's a bit dark (focusses a lot around dead), but I'm greatly enjoying it. Shoukoku no Altair. Also currently airing. It's not a fantasy anime, but more of a historical one (still fiction though). It follows a young general trying to prevent a war and focusses heavily on the political aspects around war. If you want a hitorical anime more focussed around actual warfare, Kingdom is pretty good. The animation isn't though, so you can always decide to just read the manga. Akatsuki no Yona is a pretty good adventure anime. Magi: Labyrint of magic is also pretty great. Nijiro days is a pretty good slice of life/romance/comedy anime if you're more in the mood for that. Did you finish Tsurezure childeren already? Otherwise, go and watch that first. Mobile suit gundam: Iron blooded orphans is also great. I think I should stop myself there. Most of these are somewhat popular I think, so no idea how much you've already seen. Probably not all of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SullyMcGully Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I'm back! I took a "forum holiday" yesterday but it looks like all I missed out on was a conversation about Harvest Moon, which is awesome except my life is Harvest Moon (minus the pretty girls).

Belated Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Americans! Belated Happy Ungrateful Ingrates day, Brits! I was wondering if you'd chime in about that during the HM discussion, haha. I would say that HM is the closest I've ever been to real crops, but half of the houses I've lived in were right next to farms, so I guess that's not entirely true. 523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezzy Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 532 There's nothing wrong with genetically modifying food, we've been doing it since the dawn of civilization, we're just better at it now. Making food more nutritious per acre is the only way we're going to be able to maintain the Earth's population without everyone starving.

Thanks to GMOs, people pay an absurd amount of money to get our food, which has no GMOs. So we owe our business to GMOs. 533 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to see someone on here from a similar area as me.

Interdimensional Observer Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I too am okay with GMOs. It's much better than hormones in meat and pesticides on crops. I have my doubts that the science will ever show them to be bad. Sure there is a chance, but as Rezzy points out, humans have modified crops for thousands of years- the corn you eat looks nothing like the wild grass it came from. Being able to skip the breeding in of a gene and just splice it into the DNA saves time. If I gambled poorly it turns out in retrospect- call me a product and victim of my times. Now legal issues and greed emerging from patented crops and the like- burn those agribusiness pigs! 4 minutes ago, Jingle Jangle said: 535, time to test my new avatar for the holiday season.

SullyMcGully Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 541 So I'm watching over somebody else's farm right now. This person is scared of microwaves, but I need to eat for the next few days. Any suggestions for clean, warm meals that can keep me alive?
