That's actually a good point, because I just remembered that Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle was actually based on a novel, and it was originally from England, so yeah..maybe that is a new, popular trend there..have you read any of the Haruhi novels? I was looking at the first one a little bit.

No problem..thanks for the info! this looks really interesting..I didn't realize there were so many adaptations..It's nice how a story based off a book has become so succesfull as an anime/manga/live action.

Hmm that's cool, didn't realize something came before that..although now that I think about it, the beginning of the movie seemed to introduce the characters in a way that suggests they're already familiar..so was there also a movie before that movie?

Yeah I've heard a lot about it a long while ago and thought I'd finally watch it ^_^ do you know if there's a sequel to it or does it just end that way XD?

Oh ok, well hang in there! Sounds like you have it well balanced, enjoying some hobbies when you can =) I finished finals about a week or so ago, so it's been relaxing >_< I just watched the movie "A Girl Who Leaped Through Time"

Oh yeah, it's much more involved..don't get me wrong! It's pretty impressive how much technique you can create with a computer program and have it look so natural..but the actual process of making it yourself versus a quick click and you're done..so how've you been lately? Enjoying the spring/summer?

It's more like general fine arts..more hands-on, less computerized..I find that it helps as far as practicing so that as you continue to paint, etc., you don't go rusty over the summer if you know what I mean >_<

Oh yeah, you get the laughs out of your system when you're not recording, right XD? Lol this might sound redundant, but the best way to describe them is artsy >_< just very artsy, but it's my favorite subject =)

Awesome! Well, I can get them through email, texting, or skype. So whichever works best, I can send you my usernames/numbers for them. :) Although pictures of my cosplays are kind of scarce, and most of them were taken before I lost weight XD, I can send you some as well. I'm particularly proud of my Maka cosplay. :)
