My introduction to anime was, I think, somewhere in 2003. My cousin showed me a bunch of anime art from various series and later lent me my first series dvds. These were Neon Genesis Evangelion… and Love Hina, the series + Spring and Christmas specials. Yeah… I can’t think of a stranger combination either. XD
After that I started trying to find more anime, mostly watching random bits and pieces on the SciFi channel before they cancelled it. The most memorable among these were the Black Jack movie and a Dirty Pair Flash OVA marathon till 2 AM on a Saturday morning. Anime is generally more accessible to me, but I'm trying to find and read more manga where I can. I can also be found on
twitter.

I've been studying Japanese arduously for months and I intend to read Silent Möbius QD in its respective language.
Not sure if JRPGs are your thing, but Wild Arms 2 deserves better. Unfortunately for this Wild West game, it has poor translation. Even compared to GBC RPGs.
"Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!" - Heh, yeah, I suppose that number might look a bit scary, LOL; but each 'chapter' is actually just one page, so it was basically just like reading a few volumes. :) And yeah, it is good! Like, I was totally expecting it to be one of those mostly-static comedic 4-komas, and for the main 'joke' to get old after a while; but it's actually not static at all, there's a real story progression (if rather slow ;) ) and backstory and everything, and there's other stuff going on with the characters' personalities and such, so it's kinda more than it seems. (No real content warnings, either, except some occasional innuendo and some {understandable in the situation} emphasis on the MC's chest when she's wearing certain clothing.) I mean, it's definitely not groundbreaking or anything, LOL, but it's been pretty fun so far, so I'm enjoying it. :)
Amatsuki: Ah, I see. (It's easier to understand if you take it in big chunks though~~ ;D :D ) And yeah, I actually didn't even bother with the anime because I'd heard how bad of an adaptation it was (not only does it 'just stop,' as you mentioned, which is bad enough; it *also* apparently cut out the entire
And Love At Fourteen: Thanks, I do appreciate the warning. :) I'm pretty much with you, though, in that if the show/book/game/whatever is good enough, not much of its content will bother me, LOL. :D (...Also, I'm actually totally fine with age-gap and even student-teacher in fiction {have you seen some of my list entries? :P [LOL :D ]}, just so long as it isn't completely ridiculous. Like, as much as I love Cardcaptor Sakura {both manga and anime, and the new sequel, too! <3 }, that's like the one time age-gap/student-teacher bothered me, because the girl in said 'relationship' {...which, granted, had nothing physical going on at all... and the girl was a side-character anyway, so it didn't come up very much} was like 10 freaking years old. O_____O If the character is in their teens, though, it's not that bad, IMO {fiction-wise, I mean, of course, LOL :P }.)
And thanks! :) I really appreciated the kick the challenges gave me to start working on some of my backlog last year, and I was all fired up for the challenges this year, too (even made up some placeholder lists of what stuff I was going to attempt to tackle!)... however, I gotta say that I really dislike the bingo thing that they're trying this year (^_^;) (or it just being random at all in the first place, really; though the bingo does add a whole other layer of work {and confusion, LOL!}). So I've decided to still do the challenges (especially since I really want to watch and read all the stuff I was planning to use for them anyway :) )-- I'm just gonna do them unofficially. (I'll be putting my personal challenge lists on the blog on here soon to keep track {and prove I'm still doing them, LOL} soon; will link you to them when I do! :) ) Definitely shoot me a link to your form(s) too if you end up entering, though~ :D
...Also: Thanks to the friend-update-feed on here, I noticed you started reading Amatsuki! :D (...And, just so you know, I may or may not be slightly obsessed with that series, so... y'know... happy to discuss...... :D :D )
I started Yotsuba to and im think im in love :D I think i started some manga you score high
Thank you for wishes <3
Great <3
The background + Hinata version (couldn't find the Kageyama pic though :<) http://imgur.com/a/4Yr2a
and the psd with the base: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zknkrco3qq8unkt/BASE_hina.psd (a little mistake here, should say manga reading challenge instead of watching xD)
I hope you find them useful!
I could remake some of them, which one do you prefer?
