part 3: end of week 1
well HELLO my friends. ^^

phew. has been a busy couple o days. i've been buying alot of anime and manga. ^^;

first off i went to Jim Henleys Universe on 35th street and Broadway and bought Saikano Manga vol 5, Gundam Astray R vol 3 and Patlabor vol 2. Then i stopped off in Borders again and bought Gundam 0083: StarDust Memories box set. (all thirteen episodes in one set).

Then yesterday I popped down to the Virgin store in Union Square and got "The Place Promised In Our Early Days" which is by the same guy who did Voices of a Distant Star. Ie been waiting for this anime for sooooo long and when i found it I think I blew a happiness fuse...more about that later...

Afterthat I popped down to Forbidden Planet which is just behind virgin on 13th and Broadway. In there they had tonnes of stuff. They had anime bags and anime t shirts. I contented myself with The Days of Midori (Midori no Hibi) anime vols 1 and 2, Cowboy Bebop movie OST (w00t!) and an amusing lil manga called Yotsuba&, which is from the same guy who did Azumanga Daioh. This is more like a manga than Azumanga's four panel gag strip format, but it retains its comicy humor. It focuses on this lil Girl called Yotsuba who is...weird...and her friends she makes when she moves into town. I quite enjoyed it.

back to "Place Promised", i was soo freakin happy when i found it. You know the feeling you get when its a beautiful day, you know your off to do something brilliant, then you discover you won the lottery as well...it was that kinda feeling. I was almost shaking with excitement. And with good reason. The art in this anime is the best anywhere. it is beyond beautiful. The story is a little confusing, but understandable. The music is by the almighty Tenmon (who did the music for Voices too) and its just...words cant describe. When I watched it, i wanted to be in the anime. it was like my happy place on DVD.

however, after i watched it, i got kinda depressed. I think i used up all my happiness or, as I said "blew a happy fuse" me and my brother had an argument later that night too. but we sorted it all out.


also this week I went to the Intrepid Air/Space/Sea museum. which was fun. i got to see Avenue Q which is a really funny musical, and i had been wanting to watch for a while, so that was nice.

Today im taking it easy. Tomorrow i think im gonna have to do the Laundry. ^^;

and thats it from me fer now. take care my friends. see ya later!!
