永遠のルナ一

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Ooh thanks for sharing! I like the background colors. The cover art's nice as well. xP

elhaym @elhaym I do love Naoko Takeuchis works

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 I actually need to read her works. I've never really watched Sailor Moon honestly. Although, I used to watch a few episodes with my sister when I was like 3. She loved Sailor moon, but I liked Dragonball, pokemon, or digimon around that age. But I love her art style a lot! I hear she's married to the Yu Yu Hakusho artist which I recently got into. xD

elhaym @elhaym Chocolate Christmas is a very lovely work by her. It's only one book, but you should give it a try~

elhaym @elhaym Yu Yu Hakusho is a nice anime

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Ooh. I'll look into it since you recommended it! I do really need to check out more shoujo stuff since I've seen very little. xD

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 So far I really like Yu Yu Hakusho. It's a unique shonen anime.

elhaym @elhaym I like it, too ^-^

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Thanks! ^_^ Oh yeaahhhh I love obscure and old anime haha.There's such a charm I get with old anime that I get compared to recent stuff. So I don't really watch a lot of new anime. Not that they're bad or anything in the least. I'm very particular with anime I like. xD

elhaym @elhaym I can totally agree with it~ as you said, it's the charm what let me like to watch them

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Hah nice to know I'm not alone there! But yeah, I really love Hayao Miyazaki films a great deal. Those movies were really what got me interested into animation and just anime in general.

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Um but yeah, curious what got you interested into anime if you don't mind me asking?

elhaym @elhaym My brother "infected" me with reading mangas when I was 7 years old. We also watched a bunch of animes together and liked to play beat em ups. So yeah, that's my story :)

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Interesting! I actually never knew what anime myself until I saw Castle in the sky on Tv one day. Though, I used to watch Pokemon and Digimon when I was a small kid. They seemed like any other cartoons and I didn't think they were classified as anime. But it had that style that where I could recognize it later down the road. xP

elhaym @elhaym I can remember when my brother bought the "Animania" from the comic shop. And I wasn't allowed to take a look in it because it contained hentai :')

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Huh, never heard of Animania. But oof.. henta huhi. I remember I saw a kid in middle school who got into trouble for looking up hentai on a computer. It's definitely been around that's for sure, and yeah it's pretty much everywhere.

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 It probably was scarce in the past, but since the rise of the internet that changed.

elhaym @elhaym Animania was a German geek magazine for anime lovers. You could read a bunch of exciting stuff like introducing certain mankaga, "newest" anime from Japan etc. Sadly, even many adults prejudged anime as hentai. When I was drawing manga stuff, some people was scolding me for drawing porn. Fortunately many people knows today that anime =/= always porn. Even my mother watched anime like Georgi, Super Mila, Princess Sara or Sailor Moon with me. She was excited to follow the story with me~

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Oh wow that's pretty neat! So it's kinda like the U.S version of The Shonen Jump in a sense? Or that's what I'm assuming somewhat. But yeah wow I never knew there was such a judgmental view towards anime back then. I mean, I remember when I'd feel embarrassed about liking anime because when I was a teenager because there was that stereotype that nerds like anime that I'd often hide the fact that I like anime. Weird how hentai became associated with every anime since it's not porn. It's like saying that art is porn even though there is nudity in old art. It's a form of beauty that everyone should appreciate. Glad it's no longer the case anymore. Also, cool that your mom watched anime. My mom really doesn't care for anime, but she did watch Kiki's delivery service with me once and liked it. xD

elhaym @elhaym That's simple to explain, why anime was associated with porn - Many video shops had hentais in their +18 area, even porn shops was full with bad dubbed hentais. So it was a blame for the person who blamed me for drawing porn in the end~ My mother was special in that case - she also loved to talked about Georgi and Princess Sara with another mother. That was funny to follow~

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Oh, so it probably was right around when I joined then. Yeah, I joined the same reason just for friends with similar hobbies and interests. So I started posting in the forums here and there, and make threads about random topics. I'm usually in the art forums the most though. I've made a few friends here and there that way.

永遠のルナ一 @eternallunar1 Ahhh I see! Well it is indeed nice to meet you as well! Yeah, this site takes awhile to get used to. I was pretty nervous when I joined like last summer? But I pretty much have gotten the hang of things so far.There has been some occasionally drama and weirdos that hang in the background of the site, but there's friendly folks too. xP
