Thanks Tsukki for the segment introduction! Here’s my round-up of posts from last week:

- [KnB Challenge] Day 26 | Anime or Manga: I haven’t read the manga, yet, but I’m in the process of it!
- [KnB Challenge] Day 27 | Funniest Moment: KnB has a plethora of funny funny moments, but I have to choose one cuz prompt.

- [KnB Challenge] Day 28 | Saddest Moment: I pick the saddest moment of the anime.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 29 | Favorite Quote: I picked a quote from Kagami for this one. It just stuck out so much throughout all three seasons.

OWLS POSTS:
We are a group of otaku bloggers who promotes acceptance of all individuals regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and disability. We emphasize the importance of respect, kindness, and tolerance to every human being.
Our November tour looks at the theme of “Diplomacy”. The prompt is as follows:
Whenever we have a disagreement with someone, we use our words to express our thoughts and opinions. However, there are those who would rather use fists instead of words, those who forget that being “right” isn’t the most important thing, and those who lose sight of compromising and acknowledging differences in opinion and belief. Diplomacy is an important skill and tactic that not many of us have or are able to utilize properly especially in “social media wars” for sensitive issues and anime discourse—we just express our opinions without really listening.
For this month’s prompt, we will be exploring some of the best negotiations scenes in pop culture media and discuss how effective these diplomatic moments are and what we can learn from them. We will also discuss why communication and listening are important traits to have and whether or not there are other means to enforce peace.Whenever we have a disagreement with someone, we use our words to express our thoughts and opinions.
