anime and manga...addicted..

i admit it! im addicted to them! lol ( hangs head in shame...but secretly smiling like an idiot on the inside)

no way! hehehe I used to be addicted to anime... now I'm addicted to drama but i watch anime once in a while i think I saw all the good ones so now I don't have what to watch anymore... if you have any suggestions tell me, and I'll try watching the anime if I haven't seen it already

Manga... I don't like it very much It took me forever to get how a person reads a manga ahh so hard so because of the experience - I was really frustrated, gosh... - i don't read manga at all I wait for the anime to come out and then watch it

Manga was very easy for me to figure out..

you wanna know when you read manga too much?

when you read american comics and cannot figure out why they dont make sense because you are reading them backwards. lol

also the thing with anime..is that the series sometimes ends too early so you have to read the manga to know what really really happens at the end...like take Inuyasha...that last episode was not the end.. Im currently reading the manga online once in a while ( along with like 6 or 7 other mangas) too see how it really ends.

anyhow...you may find more stuff you like on http://animekiosk.com you can watch anime for free online..you only have to make an account..but its totally free.

"you wanna know when you read manga too much?

hahaha that made me laugh ) so funny ) i'm in a good mood today lol maybe i should go read some manga online as well and yeah i'll check out the site
so inuyasha manga is out?... hmm i liked the anime, maybe i should read the manga and see what happens next... i'm sick of waiting for the anime to come out!

I just finished reading the Inuyasha Manga yesterday online... you would not believe how much was left after the anime went off! a whole lot!

I love it as it is silly but romantic with a bit of drama!! I swear I am like CG!! LOL!!

I used to like cartoons but not anymore.

I can still watch it but it's not the same as watching it when I was 12-15.

I used to watch Pokemon...

I can only watch anime sparingly, I love InuYasha and others like Sailor Moon but I prefer the PGSM live action Sailor Moon!!

I have a fair amount of anime & manga, but I don't really watch/read it that much anymore.

I do still watch Naruto though and keep up with the manga.
Other than that I used to watch Beyblade(rumours of a 4th season are around :O), Sailor moon, Card Captor Sakura, Tokyo Mew Mew, DNAngel, Shaman king (I still re watch this series alot xD), paradise kiss, black cat, dragon ball and yu-gi-oh.

Manga that I'm kind of reading/collecting atm: Paradise kiss, yu-gi-oh, dragon ball, demon diary, vampire game, princess ai, tokyo mew mew, chobits, pita ten and alchino :]

I still watch pokemon occasionally... >_> <_< >_>
Still play the games alot though xD

Oh my golly gosh..I watched 49 days...and another movie called The Circle ( both are chinese movies) both were freaky and left me at the end going...WTF....


but i loved them! I love movies like that...complete mind f*cks! That is what is so cool about asian thrillers.... they really dont have to be all gory to freak you out!

heck some freak you out so badly ur sitting there rocking with the cover over ur head saying..." they will not get me...they will not get me!"

( but i love my zombie movies too)

The only manga I actually own is what i have in the shonen jump and shojo beat and Otaku USA mags. Any other manga I read are online.

Here is a list of what i read

Naruto, Bleach, One Peice, YuYu Hakusho, Bobobo-bo bo- bo ( or however it is) Slam Dunk ( Yugioh GX is in shonen jump..but i dont read it...coz i really dont like it..I did however like the original YugiOh)
Also Vampire Knight,( i have actually read VK further along online..but still read it in shojobeat just for the hell of it) Sand Chronicles, Honey and Clover, Haruka Beyond the stream of time, Honey Hunt ( new series in Shojo beat)..I just finished Gaba Kawa. Crimson Hero,

online i read, Addicted to curry, Air, Akuma to love song, Angel Sanctuary, Beauty Pop, Perfect Girl Evolution, And Vampre Knight ( as i said above)

Ive also read much shorter series of Manga..but i wont get into all those.

as far as anime..i watch Bleach, Code Geass, Shin Chan, Moribito, Death note, Blood plus, Aishiteruze baby, The Wallflower ( Perfect girl Evolution is the Manga to that) Cowboy bebop, Vampire Knight, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Gurren Lagann and Now and Then Here and There..PLus some others...
as far as owning any anime...i have the second Inuyasha movie, Fruits Basket, I My Me strawberry eggs, Azumanga Diaoh, my neighbor totoro, castle in the sky and goldenboy


ok thats enough...i have watched more and have read more...but really...i cant remember everything. I is a very busy little ( ha little my ass) japanophile....

actually im becoming more of an asianophile in itself...im getting even more interested in other asian cultures...I have totally fallen in love with korean music, I think chinese music is lovely..and very interesting, cambodian music is lovely...seriously..you should hear it...Thai music is great too..

I still havent listened to a whole lot of of different asian music...

but next on my list is...Vietnamese music!

But Japanese is the easiest for me to sing with since i have listened to it most...the next easiest is Korean...Im rusty on it...but the pronounciation is coming along.

I'm actually studying Japanese but I find singing along really hard... i can only sing along if i read the lyrics before... I find Korean music easier to sing along to but i guess that's because i've been listening to Korean music a lot more than Japanese As you guys know my favorite Japanese singer is Utada Hikaru I tried listening to other stuff as well, but i can't really get into them... Japanese music is not one of my favorite things... Japanese drama is though Right now I'm watching this drama called "seigi no mikata" i'm really enjoying it

I don't read manga at all and I don't watch anime anymore (i think I've watched it too much )... last weekend there was an anime convention here in Portland, Oregon did any of you guys ever go to one of these conventions?

Vietnamese is actually a very easy language to learn. Spelling is not a problem. There are just a few spelling patterns that u can memorized easily and I then u can pretty much spell every word of the language with ease. Not like English, which is really hard because there are so many different patterns and even more than one way to spell a word. In Vietnamese, every word is spelled the same way, it's a piece of cake if u wanna learn how to spell Vietnamese. It's also very easy to speak too because every word is pronounced the same way. Again, not like English where a word can have more than one tone.

that's all for now....

Cool, I'm kind of teaching myself Japanese atm very slowly though xD
I tend to learn by ear really easily, so I guess thats probably why singing along isn't a problem if I listen to the song enough times xD
I find it easier to learn if I read the lyrics before in some cases.

Yeah if you listen to a certian language of music for a long time, you'll find it easier to sing with.
Hikki does have a beautiful voice :]

I don't think I've watched any drama yet.

Yeah we have conventions over here
We have London MCM(Movies comics and media) expo which features alot of asian stuff, mainly japanese & anime/manga related. And there's always cosplayers xD
I've been twice before (It's held for two days in May and in October) and I'll be going this October aswell. xD

Oh i forgot..I have Vampire hunter D blood lust too..but it is on VHS...i probably have a few on VHS i dont remember...because i dont have a vcr anymore...lol. I need to switch my tapes over to dvds when i get the chance...

There was another mag i read called Newtype...but its no longer published..in its place is a magazine called Piq....its boring...actually..i dont know if it is still made because the last few times i looked it wasnt at the place i buy my manga mags.

I was looking through a cell phone instruction manual and one of the languages was vietnamese...I was very suprised they were actual letters! I was thinking..hmm maybe i can learn this too! but right now..im slowly learning japanese...Though I have no idea really what i am saying it is still the easiest asian language for me to pronounce. I have been only been really listening to japanese music for a few years...i listened to it before that..but not as much as i do now. It got to the point that the american music i listened too was getting crappier and crappier and before i knew it..I wasnt listening to it at all hardly...and now...when i hear it..I claim my ears are bleeding from that awfulness of it!

Ive only been listening to korean music for a little bit...but Im actually finding pretty easy to pronounce...almost as easy as japanese. Once i learn the nuances of how a language is pronounced and study how the words look a bit..i can pick up on how to say it pretty easily. I also sing along to some other non asian languages such as russian , latin and italian....( but still...i need to look up the english lyrics to know what i am saying) but its getting to the point with japanese i can pretty much figure out what is being said. and usually im pretty right.

( and like you...right now with korean i need the lyrics first!.)

I think there are conventions here in illinois...in chicago ( which is in the complete opposite direction of where i live. which is actually right next to st louis missouri..basically you drive over a bridge and you are in MO.)

I would love to go to a convention...but I never have the money when one comes around..I suppose I could save..but something would probably come up before that and i would have to use that money..lol.

I like anime drama/comedy/slice of life stuff. naruto only during action parts or just the manga.
