I'm not sure if the bot supports it, but their API allows passing latitude and longitude instead of the city name. Clearly US zip codes aren't supported though, probably because they vary in size pretty drastically (some are just a couple square miles, others are up to 10000)
IMO MAL rankings are pretty bad though. I've seen some in their top 50 which were incredibly meh, and some of my favorites are ranked below 8 (and a few even below 7)
I only really trust them as a relative measure when comparing very similar series, never as absolutes.
I gotta say there's a lot of stuff in top that I'm never gonna truly enjoy because it's either rated by a ton of rogue biased users or it's a cult thing (which is about the same thing)
right from the first page, I don't think I'll ever get to watch any of Clannad, Code Geass, Hunter × Hunter, Hajime no Ippo, Kuroko no Basket (srsly? basketball?) and Fate series
how did anime about basketball turn out to be so highly rated
Anyway I think a lot of people went into Soul Eater Not thinking it was going to be like Soul Eater meets K-On, in which case they were disappointed. Other people were hoping for more about the SE universe, and they got some but they were probably also disappointed.
From what I've heard, the anime version of Soul Eater was fairly faithful to the manga up to a certain point (excluding a few fillers). However, the ending of the anime was nothing like the manga (which is still ongoing), and in my view the end of the anime was its weakest point. I want to start ...
Basically, if I enjoy something, it's because the characters and dialogue are good. I don't care about action at all, and I don't really care about story unless they do a terrible job.
FWIW Omigawa Chiaki's voice in SE:Not reminds me of her voice for Hotori from Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru. If you combine that voice with her old voice from SE, it's clear how Maka's "new" voice came to be.
Anyway I just like the idea of integrating your list with your viewer automatically. Of course there's software to do it for MAL also, but this is easier.
But nowadays I don't even bother keeping track of my list so it's irrelevant.
@ShinobuOshino yeah, sometimes when I'm in a cafe and they have tv on the wall with sports or fashion shows, and my friends start discussing their boring work or legal stuff, I turn my eyes and there it is
My wife was having dinner in front of (on top of) the laptop and she spilled some soup onto it, right above the touchpad. Almost all of the soup ended up in the upper DIMM slot which sits underneath the keyboard.
I took the laptop apart and I've managed to clean and dry everything other than th...
I drink a pretty wide variety. At the moment on my desk at work right now I have longjing, oolong, sencha, genmaicha, konacha, darjeeling, earl grey, English breakfast tea, and chrysanthemum blooming tea.
@user1306322 Nope. They're pretty different actually. Earl Grey is a weird kind of black tea which has bergamot oil. It tastes pretty different from normal black teas, and is just about the lightest black tea I can think of. English Breakfast tea is somewhat more robust in flavor.
@user1306322 I bought a few blooming teas on a whim a couple months ago. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but so far I haven't been too impressed with the results.
In any case, if you are going to try it, I don't recommend drinking the first infusion or two. It just tastes like water that you used to put flowers in. Kinda like drinking out of a vase really.
You're aware that I'm talking about chrysanthemum blooming tea, right? Because it's quite different from ordinary chrysanthemum herbal tea in terms of preparation.
Chrysanthemum tea () is a flower-based infusion made from chrysanthemum flowers of the species Chrysanthemum morifolium or Chrysanthemum indicum, which are most popular in East Asia. To prepare the tea, chrysanthemum flowers (usually dried) are steeped in hot water (usually 90 to 95 degrees Celsius after cooling from a boil) in either a teapot, cup, or glass; often rock sugar is also added, and occasionally also wolfberries. The resulting drink is transparent and ranges from pale to bright yellow in color, with a floral aroma. In Chinese tradition, once a pot of chrysanthemum tea has be...
Yeah most blooming teas are similar in terms of preparation. For all of them that I've tried, the first infusion is really pretty bad, but after that it's okay.
Flowering tea or blooming tea () consist each of a bundle of dried tea leaves wrapped around one or more dried flowers. These are made by binding tea leaves and flowers together into a bulb and are then set to dry. while the flowers inside emerge as the centerpiece. Typically they are sourced from the Yunnan province of China. Flowers commonly used in flowering teas include globe amaranth, chrysanthemum, jasmine, lily, hibiscus, and osmanthus.
It remains uncertain whether flowering tea was a modern creation or was a much older invention of China.
Flowering tea is generally served in co...
