Monday Madness!

Anime Word of the Day
Yaoi is a controversial term for a publishing genre which originated in Japan and often encompasses manga, doujinshi (self-published comics), anime, or fan art. It focuses on sexual homosexual relationships between male characters. The English letters form an acronym derived from the Japanese phrase 「ヤマなし、オチなし、意味なし」 (yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi), that is often translated into English as, "no climax, no punch line, no meaning." A variant English translation, "No peak, no point, no problem," is often preferred as a translation that "works."

Opening Act:
A brief moment of silence in remembrance for the victims of 9/11. It’s been five years but we have not forgotten.

Thanks a lot for all your support guys I really do appreciate it! And well I’m going to give it a try! Tomorrow I’m going in to submit my forms for the visa and health checks. With luck I’ll know in a week if I’ll be able to go! Thankfully they’ll be providing most of my gear so I don’t have to go on a big shopping spree to get prepped! I’ll be staying at a smaller town just southeast of Cape Town called Kleinbaai.

I hope those of you who enjoy English dubs managed to catch Bleach and Trinity Blood premieres last night on Adult Swim. While I prefer Japanese voice acting I did catch them. I was pleasantly surprised that they did a pretty good job. Most of the voices matched personalities quite well and I was amused to see which version of terms they chose. ^^ Soul Reaper over Death God and Zanbatou over Soul Slayer. ^^ I like seeing that kind of thing, actually.

Read two new mangas yesterday, well new for me. LoL One was Busou Renkin, which is a rather simple but fun manga. It reminded me a great deal of Bleach actually. With a mix of alchemy rather than pure spirit power. Still a fun read, I look forward to picking up the rest of the series. I also found a good copy of Yamato Gensouki, which is a short manga by the creator of Black Cat. This manga has a great beginning…unfortunately that’s all it really is. A two volume manga that succeeds at introducing the characters and then just ends. I wanted to cry. LoL I’m use to being stuck with animes like that but usually mangas at least have a full and complete storyline!

New Works:
A couple of new wallpapers from the great series Chrno Crusade. And a rather nice group of e-cards should be added tonight. I just love playing around with quotes and all the screen captures I collect over the years! Enjoy!

Epilogue
Much thanks for the suggestion of terms! I managed to come up with a few great ones so I’ll have some more goodies for you to learn about! ^^

Yensid – Ah you read my mind! Actually today’s voice actor of the hour is Chris Patton so you can happily check to see if they share any similarities.

Sweetdevil – Oh you came up with a tough one…though I’ve always read kyuuketsuki as a blood sucking demon, rather than just vampire. But yeah I’ve heard it defined that way as well. ^^ Hmm I guess the closest I can come to a translation of kyuuke would be old type or old fashioned.

Random Question: Where would your ideal vacation take you?

Christopher Patton’s Biography

Other Names: Chris Patton

Born: March 15, 1971 in Houston, Texas

Age: 35

Occupation: Voice Actor/Musician/Writer

Religion: Buddhist

Honestly I’m not a huge fan of Chris Patton’s work though he’s done some unique and interesting voices. He is however the English voice for Sousuke Sagara so I couldn’t help but show him off in here since my theme does feature the mercenary. For many years, Chris was known as the "go-to" voice actor for the "angsty pretty boy" roles, but has since had a chance to branch out into voicing all form of psychotic villains, and in some cases some... well, normal boys as well, such as the lead character in "The Place Promised in our Early Days".

Chris is also co-front man of an electropop/ebm band that is just starting to make some waves in the US and the UK underground, called PLID.

Sorry to say Chris doesn’t have his own voice actor site anymore. So you’re just with just an anime news posting of his if you wanna read more. LoL
