About BrothersElric
Alright, so I'm not exactly sure how often I'm actually going to be on here, but ever since I discovered this place through curiously clicking on a link on my friend's signature over on the ANN Fan Forums I've been interested in some of the different features this site has to offer, so I decided to go ahead and give it at least somewhat a shot anyways (though it's taken me this long to actually go through with it ^_^' ) We'll see.

Anyways, I pretty much go by BrothersElric everywhere I go online. It's not really all that highly creative, I know, but it's kind of the best I've ever been able to come up with. ^_^' If you haven't noticed already, yes, it is indeed inspired by Fullmetal Alchemist, my #2 favorite series of all time (though it was #1 when I decided to use it). But there is at least somewhat a minor little story behind me deciding to use it though. Basically I just thought of the series' episode title "The Other Brothers Elric" and decided it'd be something simple, yet just clever enough that not very many other people actually use it.

Everyone pretty much just knows me from Anime News Network's forums and ANN FF. Those 2 and here, plus my e-mail address and MSN Live Messenger that can be easily seen above are pretty much the only social means I have online, seeing as how I'm the kind of person who likes to keep things as simple as he can and not have too many of these places I have to check up on constantly and whatnot. ^_^'

Which basically brings me to my next point: I'm a very laid back, easy going, pretty fairly simple person. Which is good in a lot of ways of course because that also means I'm a very friendly person who's pretty easy to get along with and can pretty easily get along with others, but it can also be quite a nasty backlash quite a bit of times as well because that also means I can be pretty lazy and unmotivated. ^_^' In fact I like to compare myself with Hige from Wolf's Rain because I'm very much his same personality. That's why I like to use his avatar so much, because I believe he's a perfect representation of myself. ;) I'm also very much an optimist as well, or at least try to look on the good side of things as much as I can anyways. I have my moments, as anyone else does. ;) Although despite all this, do note that I can have a pretty nasty temper at times as well, especially towards stuff I particularly feel strongly about. But don't worry too much about that, because that doesn't happen at all unless you really, really piss me off. ;) Also something you probably don't know about me in RL: you wouldn't guess it online, but I'm actually a pretty quiet, stoic (but not cold :) ) person, as I'm actually not all that great at speaking my mind unless it's through writing. ^_^' But don't worry, I'm still a very friendly, laid back, easy going person nonetheless. :)

Right now I don't have much to brag about in my personal life. I haven't been to school in a while now, I do have a job but not a very good one (or at least not a good one to solely base your income off of anyways) and I still live at home with my parents Oh, and did I mention I don't have a driver's license and probably never will because I hate driving with that much a passion? ^_^' But there's hope for me though, so don't ride me off as a deadbeat just yet. The only reason why I'm really in this position is because I got kind of snubbed on an LDS service mission (a mission one can serve if they can't serve a proceliding one for some reason, which I can't because of learning disabilities. And yes, I am a Mormon, just so you know ;) ) which I had to take time off of school for in the first place, as well as not be working at the time either. But now that that's all behind me, I will be headed back to school this coming fall, and am in search of a better job, though I wouldn't mind working this one at the same time either (it works that few hours ;) ).

I already have 2 years of school behind me, and pretty much up to now I've just been getting general education courses out of the way. I'm still pretty undecided about my major, but I do know that I want to go into something that has to do with computers at the very least. I have been and will be again attending Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, and I also play the trombone in the marching and symphonic bands. (I've been a band geek since Jr. High. As we said in our high school bad, BAND JOCKS ROCK!! 8-) )

As far as my anime interests go? Well, I've been a fan of anime ever since I was in the 7th grade, but my first experiences in anime actually go back to when I was a kid. For the longest time it was mostly just Cartoon Network stuff plus whatever else was on the other cable channels we've had that I'd watch/get into, but my tastes have evolved quite a bit since then, and honestly I owe it all to the world wide web. ^_^ Mostly just ANN and bit torrent though. ;) I like pretty much anything as long as it's good, although I really don't like sexual content (for obvious reasons ;) ) which of course automatically means I won't go anywhere near Yuri/Yaoi/hentai/whatever else falls into that category. And I typically don't like series whose soul focous is girly/shojo-ish/high school hijinx/moe-ish type stuff, meaning probably my 2 least favorite generes are Slice of Llife and Shoujo. Though that doesn't mean I don't like anything from those generes, it just simply means that for the most part I don't. But there have been series like that though that have actually caught my interest, even some in a pretty big way too. But yeah, other than that, pretty much anything that's good. Though my favorites do tend to be action/fighting type stuff, sci-fi/fantasy/mech type stuff as well, but my favorite all time genre is without a doubt shounen! 8-) I also like some of the more deep, psychological type stuff and whatnot quite a bit as well.

Sorry about my novel of a profile. ^_^' Anyways, even though I might not be on here that much anyways, still feel free to contact me, send me messages and whatnot, and ask me any questions. I'll be happy to get to know ya if you're a nice person like me! ^_^

Hai :D

Yeah, I understand the overwhelming feeling when you first drive. I remember that when I started the driving part of my Driver's Ed class, I went from not really knowing how to drive to going 40 MPH and almost crashing a few times. ^_^' I take the bus to school, though. So, while I'm not too big on the environment and stuff, I still save myself some money and contribute. ;)

BTW, I saw on your list that you've seen Hunter x Hunter. I'm interested in it and Viz is going to release it in December, though it has a horrible cover art.... -_-;; But anyways, would you recommend it as a fellow Shonen fan? ;)
 
ForlornHope | 08-26-08, 9:51 AM
Hey, that's fine with me. I've been pretty busy myself over the past few days. :-D
 
braves | 08-24-08, 6:26 AM
Yeah, it may take a while for me to put all of my anime on here. Even though I haven't really watched that much. ;)

BTW, I noticed that in your "About" section you said that you don't like driving. Why so?
 
braves | 08-22-08, 5:58 AM
Thanks. It seems you and I have a high compatibility rating. I have to see how that changes when I finish rating all my anime on here. And that's a lot of text in your "About" section. :P
 
braves | 08-21-08, 5:55 PM
Hey, BrothersElric. It is I from ANN. O_o
 
ForlornHope | 08-20-08, 4:20 PM
Let's see if I can get these spoiler tags to work ..

 
ForlornHope | 08-18-08, 11:01 PM
Looks like there wasn't a chapter last week.. bummer :*(
 
ForlornHope | 08-18-08, 11:01 PM
It’s good that I’m on top of things and noticed that your b-day was on the 16th. How was it turning 22? After you turn 21 (the age that you can booze..legally and buy a gun in your own name), it seems that you stop having things to look forward to. It’s all downhill from there. XD You start getting grey hairs or have none at all, wrinkles pop up, bad back and you start saying “Back in my day we had to walk 20 miles uphill in the SNOW to school and 20 miles uphill back to home. You kids have it EASY.”
I wish I had your faith; I just don’t believe as easily as some. I loved the leaders growing up and the trips we went on. Some of my best experiences in life come from the church trips we took to places like Arches and Zion national park or Goblin Valley. The towering red rock and expanse of cliffs just took my breath away. I even got to go to Delicate Arch which is the very same arch that you see on many of Utah’s license plates. It is so huge and beautiful. The walk (or rather climb) was a bit extraneous however. I used to have a picture of it on deviant art but it’s not there anymore. *left the site for ..reasons*
I didn’t really try to fit in with any of the cliques either. Although the people I hung out with were definitely weird in the most typical sense of the word. We had more fun that way. The closest stereotype we got to was probably that of a geeky type but we weren’t really. At college, I kind of let lose any kind of restraints I had and I’ve had a surprisingly warm reception. I get along well with the theatre majors and the anime club members the most to my surprise. Didn’t care for my roommates last semester who drank like sailors. I almost felt like playing the devil’s advocate and turning them in to the RA (alcohol isn’t allowed on campus or on the dorms at SUU). I didn’t though. Sigh. Stupid me.

It totally should. I can see it now. “Pro Guitar Hero Champ leaves the crowd speechless by her perpetuous performance of Through the Fire and Flames on expert. That night will forever stay in the hearts of the people gathered there..” Or something like that. I actually can only do it on hard. I don’t really feel like spending that much time to conquer expert . The real point of the game is to have fun rockin out with friends. XD One of mine broke my extra controller the last time we played. She got..err..a little enthusiastic ^^; I was surprised I could do the drums on rock band at all. The hardest part for me is the foot pedal but I think that’s because somebody broke it in half and we had to tape it together. I haven’t had the best track record with friends and videogames XD.

Kudo points for liking Hinata, she’s a favorite of mine too. There’s just something awfully cute about the way she acts so shy. I’m like that too but I don’t stalk the guys I’m interested in ..most of the time. Yu Yu Hakusho is probably one of my top 3 most watched Anime to date. The other two being FLCL and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (both seasons). I’ve rated it a 7 here on mal but if I had based it purely on enjoyment, it’d be a 9. I just loved how the different characters bounced off of each other and unlike other shounen it actually had an end. I’m currently buying the new season sets since for once it’s affordable to own the whole series.

Sssh no Bleach spoilers please! I’ve dropped the Anime for good and put the manga on hiatus so I have no clue what’s going on right now. The last part I read was were Ichigo and the others go to save Orithime in that Vizard place. I don’t have the patience to follow it right now so I’m waiting until Kubo finishes the manga. I want to marathon it all in one fell swoop. ^^;

Lol a Harry Potter Anime.. Well.. I’m open for the possibility! I’ve read a few HP doujin in my time but I don’t really think that any of the characters in the book are gay so it was stupid. (harry x draco, harry x snape? Oh, barf..) but it was a bit amusing to see them in Anime style.

Agreement on Naruto being one of the few shounen that grab your interest from the start. Can’t say that for One Piece since I’ve only seen the first episode and I dropped it promptly after. It looked pretty promising but I can’t commit myself to a 300+ series. It’s a bit intimidating. Maybe the manga would be easier to tackle. Hunter x Hunter is another of my favorite shounens but it took a good 6 or 7 episodes to get into it. ^^;

Ah, ok. I was about to say that was borderline torture to make you guys march 6 hours a day every day with your uniforms on. Sweet. I can’t wait to see you and your band. Bet you guys (and girls?) will look absolutely study. Lol

Man, I’m way beyond tired. I’m moving back to the dorms this Saturday so I’ve been making preparations to go back. Moving back to and from is always my least favorite part of the school experience. Once I get into the groove of things it'll be okay and life will be good. Anyways, I better stop typing. Lata.

Good to know :)

Hey Happy Birthday!
 
ForlornHope | 08-16-08, 12:41 PM
Happy 22nd Birthday, I hope it’ll be a good‘un! ^^;
I grew up in a Mormon household surrounded by a loving Mormon community and for that, I’m truly grateful. I couldn’t of asked for a better upbringing but it’s all I’ve known. How do I know that it’s the right religion when I haven’t even so much as bat an eye at the other ones. There’s so many isms out there that it’s a bit mind boggling. Catholicism, Buddhism, Baptism, Protestant, etc, just to name a few. So I’m kind of trying to find out a little more about each and see what suits me best. Who knows, maybe I’ll become active again. I’m not really sure what the future holds ^^l Thanks for the well wishes though!

ROFL. Band JOCKS. I like it; I likes it a lot. They should replace the age old term of band geeks to band jocks. What’s so bad about being able to play an instrument and taking pride in it? I, for one, think it’s awesome. I always thought that the band people always had so much fun together but I chose to take art and language classes rather than band. I know I’d buy an electric guitar for an arm and a leg only to let it collect a lot of dust. I play a mean guitar on Guitar Hero and a rockin’ drum on Rock Band though. You can’t really brag about that to people though. Haha.

I wouldn’t want to be a mile away from you two if you guys ever met. She’s studying to be a vet at the U of U right now. Both my mom and step dad hate sports with a burning passion (unless you count hunting as such or four wheeling) so I guess I’m like them in that aspect. I wish I had something to hate.. *sniff* *sniff*

I spy with my two little eyes a NaruHina shipper. Hinata and Naruto are polar opposites once you sit and think about it. Hinata is shy and indecisive while Naruto is loud and self confidant. But there’s always the saying that says opposites attract. I have an outgoing friend who compliments my reserved nature quiet nicely. NaruSaku is also nice IMO. It has had more focus but I’m not so sure they’d really work out as a couple in the end. Maybe SasuSaku would fair better? Lol
That was depressing that Hinata had a whole lot of time to make her moves on Naruto when they were on their billionth rescue mission but never did anything. And nothing else happened to advance the pairing but lets be of good faith why don’t we. Although I’m hesitant to root for pairings since most of the time they don’t really go into fruition and are more of a side amusement than anything. Yu Yu Hakusho is the only shounen fighting in recent memory where the main protagonist gets with the girl. Maybe that’s why I think so fondly of that series. ^^l

Yea, no shounen is purely original. No show is nowadays if you think about it. I think it’s more about the execution of these clichéd elements that really makes it or breaks it for a show. I think you’re spot on with the Harry Potter analogy too. I also like to think that both Naruto & Harry Potter are aimed at kids but find audience with the older crowd too and are very addicting once you start. ^^; Do you know if there will be a chapter this week? I can’t find it anywhere… I think I’m going blind. XD

Ouch, that sounds harsh. I’d die if I had to march out on the field for 6 hours a day. Did you have to wear a uniform too? :P
 
Guet | 08-16-08, 4:05 AM
Happy Birthday!
 
Pastachan | 08-15-08, 11:22 PM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRO!! <3
 
doug19992000 | 08-15-08, 1:39 PM
Even though it's a day early, I'd like to wish you a happy birthday. Hope you got everything you wanted. Oh yeah, try to not eat too much cake and ice cream. The last thing you want is to spend your birthday with a stomach ache.
