Off-Topic Chit-Chat / What Are You Reading - Manga Version

« on: October 08, 2009, 05:26:39 AM »

TRC Epilogue and some new purchases from Animate in Japan; 3gatsu no Lion and Aoi Hana.

edit: I think the quote "He is the son of a father who was a clone of himself" kind of sums up this entire series.

Off-Topic Chit-Chat / Love at first sight manga/anime ~

« on: September 22, 2009, 09:49:24 AM »

I wouldn't exactly call it love at first sight, but by the end of the series I was totally enamored with Le Chevalier D'Eon. Although I had my doubts (history + horror is not exactly my genre combination of choice), the story was really amazing. It was so exciting by the end, I could barely take my eyes off of it. I didn't have a favourite character but rather I enjoyed all of the characters and how they interacted with each other. So good!

Hot Topics / Keep In Mind Lists

[quote name='Estefania' post='265611' date='Aug 7 2009, 07:23 AM']Frankly speaking, I'm not planning any other AFL adoptions at the moment, but I find the KIM list to be quite useful - especially if for some reason you need to adopt out anything quickly. Anyway, since I don't have any more upcoming FLs right now, PLUG!

As always, the list is private. Just email me or leave a message here and I'll add you =)[/quote]

Can I please be added for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time? Favourite movie ever :heart:

Off-Topic Chit-Chat / Asian dramas!

While certain parts of it were definitely annoying to me (mostly Soushi's characterization), it was interesting to see them try and make it more relatable and presentable for modern Japan and the people who would be watching. I especially thought the way they made Night more "robotic" was a neat touch, because it made his transgression into human consciousness all the more personable and appreciated. Mokomichi Hayami took getting used to, but he did an admirable job and had great chemistry with Aibu Saki. :whistle: Mizushima Hiro, while a great actor, was more frustrating, because it seemed like his was playing Masaki (as Soushi).

Yeah, I think that some of the changes were good (like changing the setting and the age of the characters), but the Soushi thing really bothered me because he was who I was most looking forward to. Mizushima acted the part phenomenally, but like you said, his role shouldn't have been swapped with Masaki's. It would have been nice to see the loyal, stand-by-you type Soushi like he was in the manga.

Hmm, after reading this thread, I'm definitely going to try a few of these dramas! /starts writing down series

But of course, I'd never turn down a good BL ;3[/quote]

Hey Carolyn, welcome back! I just wanted to point out that  Kino no Tabi, Wolf's Rain and Liar Game are or were all serialized in Seinen magazines - which is usually the genre you will find most of those types of psychological-type series. Some of them are really good! *is also a big Seinen fan*
[/quote]

Thanks Shalott-san, it's great to be back! And oh, thanks for letting me know! I'm awful with genre names ^__^;; But yeah, definitely Seinen then- I think I've gotten over the whole blood-bath/school drama scene (although my bookshelf says otherwise  /whistles)

Liar Game has a great drama! Not to mention a seriously hot actor as Akiyama (as if I needed another reason to think he was hot >_>)

I also watched the Zettai Kareshi drama but didn't like how it departed from the manga.

Fanlistings Chit-Chat / One Wish Granted

« on: July 18, 2009, 12:35:19 AM »

Excluding a pending application, the only listing I would apply for (and thus I guess my only wishlister) is Inoue Orihime from Bleach. She's such a beautiful character, and a healing powerhouse at that! I have big plans for her fansite, so the listing would mean the world to me.

« on: April 16, 2008, 09:31:52 PM »

AFL-wise, my big never-give-ups would be Mayuri, IchiHime and Ash & Pikachu~

But I could never see myself giving up Al Elric, Nel Tu, Houkiboshi, Mello & Near (co-ownership~), Monica, Pokemon Music, Croagunk, Totodile or Zettai Kareshi either!
