myOtaku.com: Echinacea

My Avatar

Hello and welcome. I�ve just been updating and editing stuff so feel free to look around. Add me as a friend if you like. My site�s fairly new so�enjoy it anyhow. I�ll try writing posts whenever I can. Oh, and if you�re wondering why my name�s Echinacea then I don�t really now what to say. Just a cool-sounding form of an early herbal remedy maybe?! Sayonara for now, and thanks for visiting.

   Anime...and me
I must mention this: I�ve last seen Inu-yasha about 2 years ago when YTV used to air 2 back-to-back episodes. I�ve watched�some 20 episodes or so. This means that I�ve got lots to go so please don�t spoil it for me. It�s my #1 anime right now. My Inu�

-Fullmetal Alchemist�14 episodes. Like it a lot.
-Naruto�8 episodes out of 200+. Lol�lots to go. Like it.
-Bleach�3 episodes. Looks good so far, gonna watch more.
-Trinity Blood�24 episodes so I�ve seen it all. Spoil this one for me if you like!
-Fruits Basket�1 episode only. Funny already. Definitely gonna see more.
-Detective Conan (i.e. Case Closed)�I�ve seen a few but I�m sure I have 400+ to see. Longest series ever. I like it.
-GetBackers�13 episodes. Okay.
-D.N.Angel�1 episode only. Looks okay.
Oh and�no spoilers to all those I have yet to see onegai!

My favourite character(s) in all the series I mentioned above, according to what I�ve seen so far are:
FMA�Hmm�not one in particular. I think Hughes is a very nice spirited funny guy and Alphonse is just so sweet and an amazing person but Ed�s so funny and Winry�s nice and Roy is�eee! I guess I don�t have one yet.
Inu-yasha�I believe the two main, Inu-yasha (!!) and Kagome. But Inu-yasha has a bunch of lovable characters. Sango is a strong female character and Miroku�that monk!
Trinity Blood�The Count of Memphis, my adorable flaxen Ion Fortuna!
Bleach�Only seen 3 episodes so no one yet.
Naruto�No one yet�
Fruits Basket�Maybe Shigure!? Lol. Okay, I have only seen one episode, what can I say? I may fall for Kyou�
Detective Conan�Hmm�Conan I guess. No�Conan and Shinichi Kudo and Heiji and Kid and�hmm�Ayumi? Mitsu? Okay, lots of people. Plus, I�m sure I�ll get to like Ai when I see her.
GetBackers�Donno really. Perhaps�Sid-kun? Or Himiko? Or Ginji? Or Ban? Not sure yet�
D.N.Angel�No one yet.
Gundam SEED/ Gundam SEED Destiny�Haven�t seen an episode from either but it seems I�m attached to Kira already, lol.

Oh and I've seen some other European literature-based anime like Romeo's Blue Skies, A Little Princess, and Homeless Girl Remi. They're all inspiring anime, my favorite being Romeo's Blue Skies. I remember how many tears I shed watching that one...and Homeless Girl Remi. I learned the value of life and the importance of friendship in those series. Oh, and patience. Digimon is another anime that taught me those lessons ^-^.

Well...till later!

   Fanart
Looking through fanart on The Otaku, I noticed something. You can see two totally different works of art of different styles and think �Hey, they�re both awesome� and be unable to say the �better one�. I think that�s remarkable, all the talented artists there are out there. I�ll be submitting some fanart soon. I�m better at fanart than original anime art, I noticed. They�re not super, but I just want to know if I got the potential to produce some great pieces in the future. Comment on them and please do rate them! If they�re any good, then I got lots of work to do! So many characters I wanna draw�

I�ve been drawing occasionally for the past 5 years or so but I haven�t really been focusing too much on it. Wish I could. I�ve improved�I know that much. I cannot really draw characters in my own poses or style yet. If I see a scene I like or I think I can do, I pause the shot, get my sketchbook and pencil case then sketch it.

   About me
My first post�waa-wee! Well�what should I say here? I�m just so pumped to really take part in The Otaku, even if it�s just a post. Stupid examinations� (not really�) I have IGs to do and I�m here sharing my anime-love. Figures�I always have my priorities messed up. I�m not such a dimwit but�I mean, this is anime! And I really like expressing my opinions and writing nonsense so�here I am doing just that instead of hitting the books. I did well in my last 3 papers in May so please pray for me to do great in these 3 this October.
Since this is my first post, I�d like to introduce myself a bit. Hmm�let�s see. I�ll put the main things you need to know in point-form:
1- I absolutely cannot STAND SPOILERS so please, don�t give me any. I like to find things out for myself and like things in order, i.e. watching episodes without skipping or jumping some. I�m very hard-headed about this that I don�t even go around reading some articles�just ask my tomodachi ASH Hikari. And to those out there with spoiler-warning�Arigatou!
2- I like order�just look at point 1.
3- I�m not big on yaoi / shounen-ai and�the other two (sorry�I don�t know what they�re called). No offence to its supporters and devotees.
4- I�m usually a friendly person and don�t like to make enemies so add me as a friend if you like.
5- I currently support the KagomeXInu-yasha couple. There is a very small chance that I�ll alter this after seeing the whole series + the movies. I have a strong feeling I will continue to support it, itsumo!

My posts will be irregular for the time being as I predict, with all the studying I have to do. So there may only be little changes to my site. Plus I have to get an avatar! There are just so many�I�ll pick one soon (I hope) then sign guest books with my avatar! I�m not sure if I should pick a Roy avatar (yeah, I like him a lot already! So cool�) or an Inugome (i.e. Inu-yashaX Kagome) one or an Alphonse one (he�s adorable and so sweet). There are so many possibilities�

Oh, and I love commenting on things! So fun and it's nice to let others know how good their works are.
