   again...shijinin no samurai^^
well, I just finished watching samurai seven, I liked it very much. Even if it has many other things, it reminded me often of the original film by Kurosawa.
I was just very sorry for Kyuzo (my fav in the group, but it was kinda ovious that he would die so I hadn't had any hopes on him from the beginning). In a way I'm sorry for Katsuhiro for...well...his mistake with the gun (he overreacts so often, doesn't he?). Ah, and poor peasant Kikushiyo...well. So much for this series... I watched everything that I had until now, I'll have to search some more stuff to watch, hehe. (It's incredible how certain series can get you so addicted that you watch the whole series immidiately if you have the time to do so...- it was the same for Haibane Renmei...).
Hm, guess it would be better, not searching other series, with this history work I have to do T_T (I still have to search the book my professor suggested, I'll probably look for it on Wednesday...).

well, it's nearly 5 a.m. here so I better get some sleep now ^_^
hope your doing fine and see ya around ^^

   shijinin no samurai...
hehe, well, as you may notice, I just watched some episodes of Samurai 7...(until now, just one of them is dead, I'm curious about the others...in the film quite a lot die, so...hm...). I like this series very much until now (that much that I watched 13 episodes yesterday...).The first episodes were subbed in English, I was kinda surprised to see the ones that I'm watching now are subbed in French. My French is at least good enough to understand everything^^ But it was strange to change from English to French, you get so used to it. I don't have much hope that there'll be some series subbed in German (the lenguage I understand the most), but as I have no problem with English or French...there's no problem :D).
I still am very happy about the scanner working now (I scanned a lot of pics and surely will upload some today). I'm working on a FMA pic, but I just am not satisfied with it. Well, I'll do my best. Maybe I can post it this week...^^

Tomorrow I will have to stay at my uncle. Unfortunatly there is no internet access there so I'll have to wait until Wednesday to post again (somehow it's a ritual to me to post everyday :D). So hope you guys are doing well and see ya around ;)

   manga going on :)
well, I hadn't had time to watch samurai 7 yesterday. I'll try to watch them today...
I finally finished the work for my mum as well for my dad (*yay*, some free time, hehe).
I finally could scan some pics, I uploaded two until now. I'll upload some more when I have time...so please, check them ^^

my manga is going on, I'm up to 18 pages now(still sketches). I really love this story. I'll see if I can put the drawings of the protagonists in here to see what you think of the names (I have nearly all, but well...).

I asked my professor about Yoshinobu but he said it's kinda difficult to write something about him, so I decided to write about the emperor supporting parties. He now wrote I could write something about that but it would be better to read the Book "The Meiji Restoration" from Beasly. So I have to look where I can find this book... (guess I have to go to the library once again).

so, see you guys around, hope your doing fine!!

   scanner :)
yay, the scanner works finally! now I'll scan some pics and try to upload some today.
Yesterday I had a good time in Iaido class (iaido is kind of kendo but with katana (not sharp, obviuosly) and generally without opponent when making kata or with bokken (wooden sword) when making kenjutsu). I practiced Chô with one of the Iaidoka, and it was really inetersting :)
at home I watched some more epidosdes of Haibnae Renmei with my father and alone later on (he was too tired to watch more, hehe). Liked it very much!
Now I want to continue watching Samurai 7...
I wrote an email to my professor about making the hisrtory work about the last Shôgun, I hope he'll agree ^_^ (his life surely was interesting...).
just.me, I know this problem too well :D But as it was from Spanish to German, it's not so difficult (and it was nothing complicated, so I hadn't had to think so long about the words. but yeah, when somebody asks me in German a word in Spanish I sometimes have to think about and then, somebody knows and I think ,yeah, why didn't I remember? hehe).

so, hoping you guys are doing well, I'm definitely in a good mood, I nearly stopped caughing and the scanner is alive ^^

   hmmm....
It seems like my scanner could be resureccted soon...my father told me he could repair it today, so I'm waiting for it ^^ ah, so happy!! Well, as soon as it is fixed I'll scan some pics and upload a few of them...*yay*

the book is still interesting, I'll ask my teacher if I can write about the protagonist of this book (Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last Shôgun)... his life is really something extraordinary...

I'm still stuck with the translations for my mother. It's not so difficult, I had only to write a little story, but now I have to make a dialogue from what people say in this little story. It's kinda annoying. :( furthermore I have to do some things for my dad and this history work, so I won't have time to do many drawings. *sniff* but I hope I can at least upload a few by tomorrow! ^-^

   movies...books...^^
so, it seems like I'm finally getting better! (well, it lastet for a long time...I never was sick for a week until now, really strange). However, it seems like the visit I made today did wonders to my health! ^_^ I nearly don't caugh and just feel better now...*yay*
hm, well we saw some comedian films, then two movies (cypher was one of it, forgot the title of the other one), and talked some time, it was really funny ^^ Finally we played a bit Nintendo Wii (I haven't played it at all until now, so it was real fun for me, hehe).
I'll see what animes I can see now...have some time left, lol

I still have to write this history work, though. But at least my father was reading a book (out of his own interest) and then told me it was about the perioud in japan I was wanting to make my work about, and as the German was too difficult to understand for him anyway - for his and my Mom's mother tongue is Spanish), he gave it to me and I'm reading it now. It's called "The last Shôgun" (written by Shiba Ryôtarô) and is really interesting, moreover it's written in a captive way so you want fall asleep reading it^^ I'm curious how it'll continue...So I'm kinda happy now, hehe. Hope your doing fine, too!!

   ...
well, I'm still sick. :( gets annoying. and furthermore I have to help my mother translate some things...(hope at least she'll recognize my effort. she told some thing about recompension...^-^).

I'll try to draw today, but I don't think I'll have the time, 'cause I have to meet somebody at first, when I come back home I'll have to help my Mom and finally, to make the day at least a little bit bearable, I'll watch some series on TV (I'm really looking forward to this!)...
My Dad told me he'll look what he could do for my scanner at the weekend, I really hope he menaga to fix it, 'cause I can't upload any pics right now (I uploaded some, I made those with my digicam, but I don't like the quality. it's too dark so you can't really disntinguish anything).

maybe I'll go away at weekend and visit a friend of mine who's making kinda "learn-vacation" in a cottage in the south. I want to go there too to at least read a bit of the copies I made at university and finally find a topic for my history work.
But first I'll go to a friend tomorrow. We'll see some movies (he told me he found some good movies and wanted to show them to me...we mostly like the same movies, so I'm curious about them ^-^).

so, hope your doing fine and I'll hear something from you guys...
see ya around!

   ...some Weekly Shonen Jumps...:)
well, I'm still sick (it gets annoying lately...arggh...caughing all the time is getting on my nerves :(...). But I was at university today and what do I see in front of our Japanese/Chinese library? Shonen Jumps from Japan! :) I just could carry three of the with me, because I was loaded with other stuff, but I'm happy with those (there were some more. they're kinda old, from 2004 I believe). But anyway, it's good practice ^-^ So I'll try to read some of them later on (I'm curious how much I actually can understand now...).

ah, just.me, this problem is well known to me. I experience exactly the same at university, we just don't speak enough!!! :(
so no wonder everyone had some problems understanding the questions of the teacher at conversation exam...
well, I'm very happy I found somebody to speak to (thanks to my aunty ^-^). It's so much of a help, I can tell you!

so, viel Glück weiterhin, vielleicht liest du ja mal ein paar Mangas auf Deutsch, hehe ^_^

so, see ya around!

   reading mangas...
I know I should be reading those copies...
but anyway, I downloaded some chapters of the manga "Spiral" (I've got no idea if this manga series is being published anywhere outside Japan, I only now the animeseries was dubbed sometime). I like this series, it's kinda mystirous...

The art is not so good as the one used for the anime (I have a poster, love it), but it seems it gets better after some volumes (I've read until volume 3, unfortunately it's all what's available...:( it's finished with 15 volumes, so I'm thinking of buying it in Japanese (but not yet. First I have to improve my Japanese so that I can at least the only manga series I've got in Japanese - E'S, it's really cool, love it...but I want volume 14 to be out now! - maybe then I'll buy it...haaaa...seems like eternity to me. At least I'm making some kind of progress translating this series...).

so, just.me: Wie geht's? Deutsch ist schwierig, nicht wahr? :p Zumindest sagt das meine Tante, die es noch lernen muss...:D (warum lernst du eigentlich Deutsch? Es erstaunt mich immer wieder, wenn jemand Deutsch lernen will, hehe) *just curious*

   more animes...^-^
sooo...I just finished the .hack//SIGN series :)
loved it...(even if I wouldn't believe Tsukasa is a girl till the end...). Anyway, now .hack//legen of the twilight manga series makes much more sense than before ^_^
I watched the first episode of Haibane Renmei and probably will keep watching it. Seems to be interesting.
I definitely will continue watching Samurai 7, it's real fun if you know the Kurosawa film, you have some memories renewed thanks to the animeseries :D I was watching it with my dad, we enjoyed the parallels very much and discussed parts we weren't sure that we really saw them in the kurosawa movie...it's really funny to see which person is the equivalent of the movie lol

I'm making some sketches for my manga, I'm up to 9 pages at the moment...(only sdketches, so it'll take some more time to do them properly...also my scanner is still... kinda... dead).

Was at University today to copy some stuff for the work I have to do (have to write about a historical event between 1600 and now in Japan...or at least concerning Japan). I decided to concentrate on Bakumatsu and Meiji Period, and wanted to write something about the Shinsengumi or something around that topic, but it's not easy finding a good topic...:( Or if you have, you don't have material about it *sniff*. well, guess I have to read all the copies I made today T_T

hope your doing well and see ya around! ^-^
