   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.
