   Hullo

I'm so glad I actually remembered to update my site! It's been a while...

I've been really busy (both socially and homework-ly, if that's even a word) lately, so this place has sadly been neglected >.<

Ah well, since my last post my manga STILL hasn't arrived, so, to compensate for that, I went out and bought the first volume of Hikaru No Go. I've heard so many people talking about it, so I thought I'd give it a go. I really liked it ^^ It was kind of like Yu Gi Oh, but just sticking to the one game. Go itself was kind of hard to understand at first, but I'm getting there. The charactersand art are really fun, and the plot incorporates both fun-ness and some nicely done more serious moments.

I went to London with my family for a day, just for the sake of it really. I found quite a few comic shops there ,including one called Gosh (where I got Hikaru No Go) which had an awesome selection of Manga in the basement! There were a few small ones dotted about the place which had very small selections which weren't really much vaster than the ones near me. The largest, and most impressive comic shop had to be Forbidden Planet. Apparently, it's the largest one in England (I know it's bigger than the one near where I live). They had loads of Manga and Anime DVDs, Graphic Novels, Posters and Merchandise. I nearly bought a little plastic figure of Motoko from Love Hina, but I would rather have had Kaolla su or Naru (neither of whom they had T_T) so I saved my money for another time.

There was also this pretty Spirited Away poster, but it was in french (and so totally out of my price range @_@). Speaking of Spirited away, I watched that a while back and forgot to mention it. For those who have watched it, does it not rock? I absolutely adored the animation right from the start, and it was enhanced later on through the film as we got to know the characters a little better. It was funny, sweet and really quite surreal. Awesome ^^ No-Face had to be my favourite charcter of all, even though Chihiro (or sen ^^) and Haku were really cute. I loved all the little connections between charcters and the links to other parts in the story. It was really clever and absorbing. I mean, it may just be me, but I actually forgot that Chihiro was called Chihiro, and started reffering to her as Sen until Haku reminded her (and me ^^:;) of her real name. Over all, it was just plain...yay!

Probably as good as if not better than the Cowboy Bebop movie ^^Either way, they both rocked.

Well...That's all from me...until next time (which may be a while...)!
