Thank you for your kind words! It really means a lot, and I'm glad we can relate and talk about this.

To answer your question: even though I lean toward religious Buddhism, I consider myself an agnostic. I don't deny the existence of gods, spirits, or anything supernatural, but my main focus is right here, in this reality.

This actually aligns with a famous Buddhist teaching called The Parable of the Poisoned Arrow. The Buddha said that if you are hit by a poisoned arrow, you don't waste time asking who shot it, what clan they belong to, or what the arrow is made of. You just want to pull it out and treat the wound. To me, metaphysics and the supernatural are like those questions—they aren't necessary to solve human suffering. That's why the Four Noble Truths focus purely on understanding suffering and how to end it in this lifetime.

Because of that, instead of traditional reincarnation, I look at it through the concept of rebirth and karma in a very practical way. Every day, people are being born and dying, and they carry the karma (actions) of those who came before them. Even without focusing on the spiritual side, if we teach someone good things, they will pass on good actions—creating good karma.

This world can be chaotic (which is what we call Samsara), and the cycle repeats every single day. My role as a Buddhist is simply to help people navigate that. Who knows? If I do my part and teach good things now, in my next reincarnation, I'll be a good person

Tai Chi Chuan is really great! It's very grounding.

To answer your question about Nagarjuna, I actually look things up online, but a close friend of mine named Kauan, who is a Mahayana Buddhist, has been my main guide. He’s the one who introduced me to deep concepts like Sunyata (emptiness/voidness) and Pratityasamutpada (dependent origination). Reading into those is a great place to start!

As for how I got into all of this... like everyone, I went through some really tough times recently and almost fell into a deep depression. It all started after a painful breakup with my wife. We had known each other since 2015 and got married in 2025, but unfortunately, it became an unhealthy relationship and we separated.

At first, I was desperate and tried to find answers or solve my problems through occultism and magic, but nothing happened. That's when I reached out to Kauan for help. Back then, I didn't even know what Mahayana Buddhism was, but he started talking to me about it.

After spending some time suffering, I finally began to understand why I was suffering. I started recognizing the illusions and the expectations I was projecting onto other people. That realization changed everything for me. Today, I can happily say that I've overcome that depression and I am happy. After that, I started researching on my own, which eventually led me to Taoism as well. It’s been a healing process, and that's how I ended up on this path

Both of them are amazing ( ＾ω＾ )

It's awesome that you've read Chuang Tzu! To be honest, I only know him by name, but I haven't researched his work yet since I've been focusing more on Buddhism lately.

For me, daily practice is a mix of both the philosophical and religious sides. On the Taoist side, I focus a lot on the concept of Wu Wei (effortless action) and trying to align with the Tao in my everyday life. I also practice Tai Chi Chuan on a weekly basis, and whenever I have free time, I love researching more about the philosophy and history—both Buddhism and Taoism have enough content to study for a lifetime!

As for Buddhism, I lean more towards the religious side, but rather than focusing on the unseen, I guide myself by what I can see and experience in reality. Specifically, I'm drawn to Mahayana Buddhism and the philosophical teachings of Nagarjuna. I really try to follow the Bodhisattva ideal in my daily life, focusing on compassion and helping others.

Since I've only been at it for two months, I'm still learning a lot, but combining them has been a really rewarding journey.

Yes, I am! I practice both Buddhism and Taoism, and I've actually been practicing for about 2 months now. I'm really glad to hear you're interested in it! We can definitely talk more about it if you'd like.

Clannad is really good... Both version between anime and vn... And yeah... I quite like visual novel... Heheh :D

thank you for accepting!

Not not from an anime she's original character from the Mushroom Girls Series. Though the earliest ones got a bit pricier now :/
Speaking of figs this one is prolly my fav one. Not only for something soo cute price was quite good but it had soo many bonuses making it soo much more worth it :D.
Yeah finishing my Jap course will be done by last week of June. So should have increasingly more time having to only repeat ones I already learned. Currently also trying to clean up my watching list alphabetically.
Yeah and it keeps dropping. It's dropped by 0.1 since the last week xD. Yeah despite everything tiny bit curious about it too.

Just look at this. Why even bother with this character in this case?

I see you have a great manga collection. I'd like to have something similar someday. Is there anywhere you got them? Could you tell me?
I also saw your game collection. You have quite a variety there. There are some that I've played and know. I enjoy playing games a lot too, but I take my time to savor them and appreciate the story and its audiovisual beauty. Some of the ones I know are Ghost of Tsushima, RDR, TLOU, and others.

Kanon and Aria is really good... I love the soundtrack and atmosphere from both anime... Spice and Wolf is an medieval anime that teach about... U know like... Buy/Sell... Money... Bussiness... Something like that... Kubo Won't Let me Invisible, very kawaii romance... I really like it so much... And about that my favorite manga... Well, that manga was actually came from a visual novel titled > Symphonic Rain... Symphonic Rain is my favorite visual novel of all time... I really like everything about Symphonic Rain... ( =＾ω＾)

If I had to pick I think it would be Days of Candy and Beyong Love.


Ah, I'm still new to reading manga, but would like to read a lot more. I do tend to or watch, or read a series, not both. Is it worth to read or see the anime after finishing something? Or does it kinda function more as a rewatch?


Its a good, but not as peak season for me. Nothing 10/10 worthy but also nothing really bad. For me Its exactly the same. Thats why I always pick some underdog series that I wouldnt have watched otherwise. This season I experimented a lot lol.

I've heard a lot praise for Witch Hat Atelier. But I find it hard to start a new seasonal mid season. So maybe ill check it out in the future when its finished.


Grand Blue Dreaming is a must watch if you love quality comedy. I've heard from friends though that it isn't that bingeble, and they needed some time to digest all the humor. For me it wasnt the case (I binged season one :3).

The next season looks quite fun tbh. Got a lot of experimental series again because a lot of the top series are season 2/3's that I havnt seen yet. I've also added Otome Kaijuu Caraméliser because the love/kaijuu dynamic looks funny. My underdog series next season will be: Grow Up Show: Sunflower Circus. I dont even know why its so low in members. It looks like a kind of Hibiki Euphonium but with a circus instead of music. Other series I'm looking forward to are: Draw This, Then Die!, Yani Neko, and of course Polar Opposites season 2.

Edit: I've watched Akiba Meido Sensou this week that you recommended. It was surprisingly unique and funny. I will also start watching Ouran High Host Club soon.

See > completed... All of them were my favorite... But if I display it on my profile, it means very personal or I very very like it...

Of course, it was a pleasure meeting you as well, I hope we get along well from now on.

I'm new... I really like anime by the way, but rarely watch because my free day is only Sunday... And at Sunday, I have like... My own schedule watching anime... That's why...

Your welcomw and also thanks too for the fr (　＾▽＾) And also nice to meet u too, Star :D
