FirstComesRock99's Profile - MyAnimeList.net (original) (raw)

You must have long since started by now. How have you been finding the school semester so far? It's almost been a month after all. I see you’re this excited because you’re a senior now that does sound like a lot of fun. So a senior in College, does this mean it’s your final year and then you begin working the job you’ve been studying for, correct? It sounds like you’re going to have a lot on your plate this year but it’s very nice to see you having such a positive attitude towards it rather than it feeling daunting. I hope you have as much fun as you described. For me I’ll have to double check which classes I am taking exactly, but I am aware of a few of them off the top of my head.

Oh I get it, the two must’ve got confused somehow. They both have the same name after all. Don’t even worry about it. The Wind breaker anime was pretty cool to me, I like the whole concept of them being delinquents but having a much greater purpose than just that title, they protect a whole mf town after all. I enjoyed the fight scenes and I like the type of mc Sakura is, despite his appearances and façade he does have a good heart and wants to be accepted. I think this new school will be a nice fit for him as he’s already shown that he’s learning more about himself and others, the manga is doing well too after this anime adaptation so yeah, I expect good things from this series going forward. Now you know my thoughts on both of the wind breakers haha xD.

That’s awesome! I know American football is a huge huge thing over there in America. When I hear of like male high school students pursuing a sport for their career, it’s usually Basketball or American football. Ofc I’m well aware of how huge the superbowl is every year too. I don’t know much about American football at all? So do you mind explaining how the whole thing works and what makes you happy to watch it? I’d like to learn a bit about it and maybe give it a try. We got a similar sport here called rugby (Idk if it’s offensive to compare the 2 XD) but it’s nowhere near as big.

Oh so you’re a fan of College American football and basketball in general, very very fascinating. A streamer I watch all the time called plaqueboymax, he did a collab with 2 up and coming college basketball prospects. Elliot Cadeau and Tahaad Pettiford, idk if you know them but it was an entertaining stream to watch.

Link to it is here if you wanna see for yourself:

Ah yesss Premier league and the LaLiga probably my two favourite leagues. You’ve got elite taste for that, and El Classico was amazing but I haven’t been seeing them as much recently. It doesn’t hit the same if Messi and Ronaldo aren’t on the teams. That’s what made the games truly legendary imo. I really wanted England to lose the Euros so when I watched the game and saw that they lost, I was so happy. I was worried for a second because of how far they got. It definitely was a pretty tight game, but to me England really didn’t perform that well throughout the whole tournament, they got some insanely tight goals at the right time though and if I were to say, A LOT of luck. I don’t have much knowledge on the Spanish manager but yeah he probably was a better tactician. I’ve only been paying major attention to full on games this new season that just started, so my ball knowledge of recent events is also quite limited. The fact that Real Madrid have both Bellingham and Mbappe on the same team now, I don’t just fear for Man City, I fear for anyone who plays them. But as you said they are probably now Man City’s toughest opponent in the UCL. I am expecting Madrid to win the Ucl just off of Mbappe alone lmao. The Bellingham and Mbappe duo could be insane, like De Bruyne and Haaland. I better watch some of the highlights or catch the games like you do to see how they do. NOOOO Arsenal are Chelsea’s number 1 enemy XD but if I am being completely unbiased. Arsenal does seem like an extremely exciting team to watch, their team is so full of youth and they always stand a fighting chance against Man City for the title. Whereas Liverpool have older players who have been there for a long time, they’re not flowing with a lot of youth and potential for the future. I even heard that they haven’t signed anyone really from this transfer window, so yeah I can understand why other teams, especially Arsenal begin to stand out to you now. Oh that’s very fair, for a lot of Liverpool fans that are from here they have a special connection to the actual place and so its natural for them to follow the club. But as you said, you are American so you might see football in a whole different light, it makes a lot of sense. Even with the Nba, I don’t follow a specific team. I kinda just enjoy the games and the league as a whole.

Mhm Salah is truly great, he always performs and all the Liverpool fans love him. Great dribbler, finisher, he does it all. Breaks records all the time, definitely one of my favourite premier league wingers. I really liked how Eden Hazard used to dribble down the line, How Nostalgic. He was really one of a kind. Yep Van Dijk for sure a top 3 cb for me, I like how humble he is and how he carries the team. Even the way he speaks of football in interviews is admirable to me. For sure Van Dijk is a huge player, must be very scary to go up against as an opposing attacker, he has so much presence too. One of the best at his job. This is one of my favourite things about Premier League football, you can feel just how fast paced it is, and lately because Chelsea’s team is heavily attacking as well, they’ve been adopting that 1-2 passing style. Especially Cole Palmer and Madueke who have been really performing recently. You pretty much summarised Saka perfectly, it seems like he’s mastered that style and it’s very effective for him. He always does serious damage to the other team’s defence even on his own, can’t wait to see where his future takes him. I am actually not too sure about this, about whether College sports is a big thing or a thing at all here, I’ll have to look into it. I am sure there is something but it’s probably very different from America’s way of doing things. That’s really cool, no wonder College sports is such a huge thing over there, it’s literally encouraged in almost every College. Who knows if I was brought up over there maybe I’d be in College for Sports right now haha. I see so that’s how the ranking goes, I didn’t know American football was bigger than Basketball in College. Perhaps I underestimated it too much. I’ll definitely look into it, I just think whenever I watched American football it was almost hard to watch because of how physical it is. I am sure the injuries they suffer are awful.

Average temperature at this time of the year? Hmmm, it’s hard to say because the weather over here is always so unpredictable and fluctuating. It’s say between 19-23 degrees Celsius if I were to estimate this Summer. That’s correct it is often pretty dark and grey here, especially compared to America. It rains a decent amount and sometimes it gets Hot too for sure but never anything really crazy. It’s all within expectations. Yeah that is interesting, but I think in America it’s such a big place that also makes it have a lot of variety. So I can see a desert like state, I am tryna think of which states come to mind when I think of desert. Hmmmmm. Texas maybe? For a whole 5 months, that truly does sound like Hell to live in. Idk why but I assume that the humans that live there just adapt to the harsh weather, is that not the case? Oh if it’s not too humid that does make it sound way more bearable. Thank God for that. Hahaha, so I guess it really is just eternal suffering. Do you see yourself ever leaving that state or nah? Oh so you’re just so used to your state that the rain doesn’t mean a thing to you now XD. I hear you. Mhm it’s a vibe fr.

Mhm You did tell me the course you’re studying earlier on but I was about to ask you again because it’s been so long and I forgot too haha. I study Software engineering. And you’re welcome, I feel like especially for people around your age, it’s great to show support and sympathy. They get you after all, all in the same situation.

Lately I’ve seen a lot of Bleach fans after the long awaited return, so maybe that wave will inspire u to try it one day. Especially cus you’re a shonen fan, you might enjoy it more than expected.

OH HUNTER X HUNTER HAS SOME BANGER OSTS AND AOT AS WELL. YOU KNOW BALL! I think I agree with you honestly, some Aot Osts go so hard that once you heard it and recognise where it’s from, its like you’ll never even forget it. They just leave such a lasting impact.

No this is perfect! I used to listen to tons and tons of anime OST back in the day so I am willing to re-listen now and let you know my thoughts on them. Imma listen to all of these and let you know what my thoughts are on them. Thanks for sharing them with me. This conversation was very thrilling for me, and I can’t wait for more. As I get back into the swing of things here on Mal, they should be coming back even quicker as well but I appreciate your patience always. You have an amazing week as well! Hope things continue to go well for you. Until we chat again my friend, be safe and be well :D.
