XVX Otaku

Not especially lately. I get the Harry Potter theme stuck in my head a lot but that's cause I watch it so much haha Clannad After Story is ininteresting so far and so is Kimi Ni Todoke. I haven't finished either yet but eventually one of these days, I'll have time lol

Thanks. My anime taste is like my taste in music: a little bit of everything. Haha I'm currently finishing up Clannad After Story, Kimi ni Todoke, and Say I Love You. I want to eventually start watching Black Butler. I've started the manga but not the anime. The new season can't be explained in words. It's definitely something to experience first hand. But you'll enjoy it. :)

No problem! I've been watching anime for about maybe 8 months now. My first anime was Sailor Moon, of course :) don't worry about asking too many questions. I live for answering them! :) Ah, all I have to say is it's an exciting season lol :)

Thanks, my dad did all the application. I just added the zombie gait and sounds lol. Wait…did I show you my “Halloween” videos? It was for Halloween and we REALLY go all out for it ^_^ If I haven’t shown you any of the vids I really should. Lol they are afraid of light aren’t they? GAAAHHH WW-W-WHAT IS THAT LIGHT!?! Lol. Hmm that would be a problem….I would have to SPEND my money to keep it safe…..wait a minute that doesn’t sound quite right does it? Lol. It is….quite the anime isn’t it? I like that lol “a bit too much of… itself for me”. I have a scary story about that show. I decided to watch an episode or two of it just to see how crazy it was…..then I watched another episode….and then another until I watched it every week and then I started to accurately PREDICT what was going to happen! On TOP of that…..it started to make sense to me….scary man, scary lol. Yeah that would have stunk. Well I received the replacement disc and though I haven’t actually watched it yet I went straight to the “problem episode” and it seemed to work perfectly ^_^ so hopefully it seems that’s all taken care of. That’s pretty good ^_^ found most of your friends and made even more! That does seem to be the nature of things at cons, friends being out of towners but there are so many people at cons so statistically I guess…It does seem so but I almost think that just about all con-goers are really nice just about anywhere you go ^_^ Air Force or underage, that seems to be at both ends of extremes which might make it harder to find close friends or something that might *if one’s lucky* turn into something more than just friends. *honestly the best chance I probably have of finding myself a girl is at a con lol*. I volunteered in the Art Gallery which didn’t entail too much on my part really. Just walking around making sure nothing looked amiss with the artwork/biddings, helping with any questions*if possible on my part* that someone might have, making sure that no pictures were being taken and sometimes policing the entrance/exit doors and bagging any items people brought in so there wouldn’t be any purchase/theft confusion. One of the harder parts was standing up for about 5ish hours at a time lol. Well Dragon-Con is pretty awesome not to mention con’s are pretty good about advertising other con’s so I’m not too surprised ^ ^ Yes it sadly happened to me two or three times that year…..and one of them was a good Holo from Spice and Wolf T-T Yep another check on the list for an amazing amount for things in common lol. Let’s see, it started on my first or second trip to D-con so…about 7ish years I guess? One for each year pretty much haha. One of my favorites is my Blood + sword. Lol. Would be awkward if we cosplayed together and he went as Chi XD Deep in the bowels of Youtube? That’s a dangerous place to be my friend haha. That really does sound like an interesting combo. Do you remember who they were or what the song was called? Me either, another thing we have in common! I’m extremely terrible with names lol. I’ll either remember the name or the face, rarely both and more often than not it will be the name. Sadly true haha. Lol it came out of google translate like this “Eat not the day today? Yes, you do not eat.” I think I do and I agree or Hai, because of the difference in sentence structure. It basically seems to be in reverse of English. Most other languages seem to be actually or it might be more accurate to say that English is in reverse compared to many other languages. I’ve heard of Persona 4 but I’ve yet to get around to it yet, like so many other things it seems haha. I would think so, definitely the longest show I’m aware of haha. No worries, yes it’s a bunch of different cases instead of just one case though there is one revolving around the main character himself the entire series but it’s not show cased every episode. He was poisoned but instead of killing him it reverted him back to a little boy and so he’s trying to find out who did it and hopefully how to reverse it throughout the series but like I said, I’ve seen around 100ep of it and it doesn’t come up too often. I think I looked it up but I don’t remember if I found out, probably due to lack of funding/interest or something along those lines. I’m the same way but it was something I got from the library in a “must read ANY manga I find” run and it didn’t really say which was the first volume on my library website so that’s how it started but virtually all the time I’m the same. I DON’T want to start anywhere other than the beginning. Spoilers, you know? Plus there’s bound to be things you won’t get if you jump in half way right? It’s hard not to be hit, in a way, by Gunslinger Girls just because of the premise you know? DANG! Another commonality!!!!! They never end! Lol. It was, it truly was. Not yet, just flashbacks lol. Aaaww crap…..sounds kind of like me too……that doesn’t spell too much good for me either XD I don’t want to be a yaoi fangirl target lol. I’m not sure exactly….but my computer has become a bit faster since we got a wifi extender or something or other but it STILL won’t play! It sort of does but it continually stops loading at random points so I have to reload the page or the video goes white with a “!” replacing it…..it’s extremely aggravating T-T It seems like more and more of the dub/sub sites I have/try to visit don’t work anymore T-T…..the free ones at least….. *possibly spoiler alert of you haven’t seen Eureka 7 AO but not muchish…sorta* I like romance in anime, even if it’s an action one there’s usually that “one pairing” if you know what I mean. Well they were really lax about romantic pairings in the show which I was okay with, more or less, but what really got me in the end was that during the show a character ends up with a weapon that whenever shot rewrites time in some way. Okay that’s different to some extent, okay BUT the last time that it is fired at the end of the series it is suggested that time was rewritten so that even though it created a happy ending and the bad things were taken care of *trying to be as vague as can be for spoilers sake* it almost seemed like that “final shot” kind of erased all the relationships and everything that character did for the entire series so it almost felt in a way like….well how to say this? Maybe like “the final shot undid the whole point of watching the entire series other than the fact that you knew this was the last few minutes of the last episode?” something like that maybe? So it did have closure….of sorts but…..I don’t know….. >.> Lol. I guess so, default old lady lol. I’m not sure of any shows that she’s currently in at the moment. Last two shows I was aware of was Ponyo and the senior pranksters show. Ah okay then, well that’s good it’s still running though. Sorry for how long it took me to get back to you.

A con? Was it by your place? Cool how was it? Acen stands for anime central. Its in rosemont, May 15-17. I plan to go this summer but the more convenient hotels r already full! Grrrrr... Lol Mwahaha yeah cause of my oddness , i think.., i had very diverse friends... O wow how did u decide?! I should ask my best friends to join me.. Theyre really tough gals but as for me.. Ill crash into a goose or something lol How did u feel after jumping?! And when u landed?! How exciting! Yeah i was such a bookworm haha and i hated thrift stores cause i never took the time to look around..? But i went with my mom again a few years ago.. Was restless (my mom drags at any store *sigh*) so i actually walked around and found some pretty decent rollerblades really cheap. And they were brand name :D since then ive found a few things here and there.. And now i find it really fun even if i often dont find anything :D Yeah.. ill just leave the car search to my dad hehe o id just get the regular :) but 1st i need a practice car. Seriously ive driven before but not enough and never on my own.. Im so used to taking public transportation everywhere.. But i cant keep doing that forever especially since i have a lot of things id love to do that requires a car. Im still in the city living with my parents. Im mexican lol Although somethines.. Im probably moving out soon... I do pay rent so.. I can definitely afford a place of my own.. With a bit of budgeting. Lol

Me too even if it does come out pretty wonky sometimes with its translations haha. Pretty social place?....dang it...we can't have that!!...or maybe...maybe I could be the "hot foreign/American guy"! Shadows would probably be filled with dudes though lol. Your right, nothing is going to turn up missing with one of those haha. Oh well that's much more comforting to think about lol jk. Hmm I wonder if I'm worth a "buttload" of money XD Hey, can't be much more bizarre than Bobobobobobobo lol. Yeah it was a bummer, was hoping I would get lucky with it. Luckily I did get an email saying that they were going to ship it to me for free so hopefully it will work and everyone will be happy ^_^ Nah not at all though I just reread it and I guess its more of the context that makes it confusing since I mentioned that it was volume 12 and the message said "Was there only disc in this series?I wanted to make sure I sent you the right disc." So I wasn't certain if she was asking "was there only 1 disc in the entire series?" or "did you only have a problem with 1 disc" but either way it seems to have worked out fine so lets hope it continues that way. Supposedly Bandai did fix the problem with newer discs for awhile but I imagine that there are still plenty of faulty ones circulating out there, especially since at some point they made a part 1 and 2 box set of the series which people probably started buying instead. I can understand that, I'm still sort of the same way. Anime/manga is still kind of a smaller niche in the US. That's pretty cool, I hope you do find them and have a great time. Don't have their number huh? I think the most "info" I've shared with firs-time con friends was facebook. I've volunteered with Dragon Con but only once. It was nice but they prefer (not need but prefer) that people volunteer for 25hrs total or at least if you want the extra benefits of volunteering with/for them and I just felt like I missed a good bit of the con or certain elements. A lot of "Oh I would love to get a picture of them.....but I can't because I'm on duty(or at least "I" couldn't because pictures weren't allowed in the Art Gallery) and then you never see them again at the con". But it was fun in a way and I don't really regret it but I probably won't do it again lol. Actually I am a little brother just a little brother to my older sister haha. Ah so you like our swords? I have a few around, say oh about 8 XD No you were right about the sword picture haha he’s definitely not the Chi and I don’t know that he would make a very good one either lol. No certainly not, that would be rather sad. I like the Jpop idea lol who knows maybe the Jpop/heavy metal mix might work lol. That would be pretty cool. Would make for some more awesome cons. Yep are you familiar with her as well? She’s also voiced Kyrie in DMC4. AWA around September 25-29ish give or take 1 or 2 days on either end but it lasts 3 days. Crap I’m not the best with verbs lol or at least using them properly in all ways but at least I know the general idea of it now. I do remember hearing/reading somewhere also that Hai and however you type “no” don’t mean “yes and no” as it does in English but more along the lines of You are correct and incorrect” right? (ironically I mistyped “incorrect” at first lol) Huh I didn’t know that….darn you got me lol I did do that when I read it XD Hm when I think of mystery I think of things like detectives and I don’t think I’ve seen/read much of those. Sometimes they do have that, sort of depends I think. Death Note is one that has lots of twists and action but I wouldn’t exactly call it a mystery anime though there are some mystery elements there. Let’s see for mystery anime….the only “straight mystery” anime I can think of that I’ve seen would be Case Closed which was enjoyable though it’s definitely a long one lol. 500+ episodes and still going strong I believe. As for manga I thought one called “Remote” was good about a young female traffic cop who ends up being partnered up with an L-like (Death Note character) genius character to solve murders, was pretty good and I LOVED reading Kindachi’s Case Files. Sadly they didn’t publish the entire series of works in the US it seems of Kindachi but I loved it all the same. It does have a continuing story of sorts so there is a bit of an order to read them in but it’s mostly a “case-by-case” series so you can read them out of order without too much disruption. It’s still really good even with being a “case-by-case” series. Wow, dang. Bet it gets too dark to read at one time sometimes huh? Hard to say but I think Trielia would be up near the top or maybe the sniper who’s name I don’t recall right now. It was really sad when she had to kill the bellboy she started to have a crush on T-T Thank you haha I will admit though, reality tv just makes it so easy to burn itself haha. I liked how all the characters in Azumanga Daioh were always just so wacky. That’s a very unique and interesting combination for an anime. Sadly I don’t think so either. Really? How did you become a Yaoi fangirl target? I actually finished my class last night….well mostly. I still have to find out some way to watch the OVA episode…it won’t play anywhere I can find it(which is only like 3 places online) on my PS3 or my laptop….planning to ask my brother when he visits if I can use his laptop to try and watch it. It’s really a 24 course class with one extra session on the side though I have been to some unusual ones before lasting 3,6,12,13,24,25,26,37,167, and 220, all over the board. Sadly this last class while enjoyable…the last part of it while still being enjoyable was pretty disappointing :( You are!?!!? AWW MAN….NOT AGAIN! Lol. Very true, sad to hear all the same. They sort of did but I think if it was a creepy role it was only creepy in a very nice but weird old lady way lol. She’s funny in her show where she and other seniors prank people. Nah no royalties, up for free use. Computer running slow? Me too ^_^ it’s just right around the corner now. Very true but it also makes for more special of memories for you two right?

Hahaha actually, i used to b so random like that! :D but now.. I guess i matured a bit? (um not at all lol). Wait u jumped out of a plane?! I always wanted to try that... Well since i had such a short attention span (in regards to textbks not like for harry potter which i read in 2-3 days...) it took me a while to really get the concepts.. Lets see.. About 1+ hrs per chapter (those chapters were long and complicated though) i was always full time so i had a lot to read... Lets just say it was like a full time job hahahaha As for the manga, i only discovered that this summer.. I used to hate thrift stores but theres some really good finds, now i understand! Hahaha and yeah the manga were complete :) and i plan on going to acen and perhaps anime midwest next summer so i might visit more intersting places like that bookstore.. I should have my car by then too... My dads gonna help me look cause i dont know anything about cars... I want an oldish car 1st for practice since its been about 2 years since i really drove. In the city i can just take public transportation anywhere.... Then ill end up getting a cooper cause theyre just so darn cute! Hahaha :D And kimi ni todoke is just so... refreshing? to watch after a long day at work :) i love it!!

I actually saw your message a the right moment. I was stressing a bit and having a hard time chilling. But I'll take your advice and hang in there. It will be a while before I can message again. So thanks and be safe. (^_^)/

Yeah but when i was tutoring, at my old high school, i sort of was polite to everyone but didnt really get close to any of the staff.. Its hard for me to get close to others, not sure why :P o im such an introvert :D one thats always spacing out! Hahaha right now im a prek teacher at a learning center by chinatown :D the only nonasian there haha And yeah college definitely got to me.. Stress.. Emotionally.... Ugh im glad im done! I had so much reading and studying (i can be a total nerd lol studyholic? Hehe) that i had no time for reading fiction, anime, or manga.. So i sort of stopped.. I still havent quite gotten back to doing any of that :P once in a while... But i do like all that stuff i just dont read/watch anywhere near as much as i used to before ^_^ O so i got some chobits, fruits basket, zatch bell, naruto, ragnarock & a kingdom hearts! :D random volumes of course but hey its still awesome :D oh and unfortunately i didnt get to go in and explore kinokuniya :( there were a change of plans and we had to leave *sigh* but a friends been there :) geez i need to get my car already so i can just go on my own right? Lol
