Manga and ancient swordplay! Oh my!

Hello again, my friends! Heh, I think I'm getting a bit better at updating my site. Just have to get back into checking other peoples' sites. >.< Anyway, as most of you have probably already heard, the articles and review sections will be closed to any further submissions pretty soon. Or maybe they are right now. Either way, how do you really feel about it? I commented on this on the main page of theOtaku; basically, as long as we can still read the articles and reviews that have been submitted, I can deal with it. Of course, I wanted to submit a review awhile ago, but theO wasn't letting me. And now I have no real hope right now of ever submitting it, but oh well. If I really want to submit the review, I can do that somewhere else if I have to. But yes, please comment on how you feel about this news. At least there is good news for me; my Record of Lodoss manga came last Thursday. And I'm very happy with the story. They even included a map of the whole Lodoss island in a couple of the volumes, which is really neat for the fans. Heh, I was even bored enough today to chart where all these different people went in these stories. It helps a lot to know where all the cities and countries are. XP Also, in a bit more exciting news, I'll be taking yaido pretty soon. The class starts September 1st; that might be a bit hard on me, since I'll still be working at the fair during that time, but yaido's not supposed to be too physically demanding. I have to go buy a couple of things before the fair starts though, for yaido; a boken, which I have to get in the international district in Seattle, and some strong knee-pads. Then, I'll have to get Sensei to buy the other stuff; hakama and top, obi, and eventually, after I get enough money for it, a steel blade. It's going to cost a lot of money, but luckily I'll have my fair money to pay for that stuff. Unfortunately, I had already made plans for that money, and now I have to remake them. Well, it'll be worth it. Yaido is supposed to be something like the cream of the crop in Japan. It's very exciting for me right now. v^.^ Before I end my post, kingN, you should definitely try to see .hack//Roots as soon as possible. It'll be on TV near the end of this year apparently, and then it'll be released on DVD in 2007. And the music is very good, buying the soundtrack would be very worth it. I hope your weekend was a nice one. Ta! God Bless
