sorry to just write you out of the blue but .. i just saw that you have already read 38 chapters of Kimi ni Todoke and i wanted to ask where you read these 'cause i only read 19 chapters and i don't find any more ones ... nowhere q.q .. so please helpe me if you can <3
yeah. things went so smoothly that it's sorta strange. i expected it to be so much mroe difficult but i guess it isnt, although going to class is crazy difficult xD. i only have 3 classes and the only class that i go to consistantly is japanese, mainly cause i'm motivated so i can play/read/watch eroge/manga/anime raws. i made a lot of friends here, but i haven't found any ota friends that i can converse with. i went to the anime club but most of them were into the mainsteam kind of anime's. i wish you were here lmao. then i could finally have someone that i could talk about eroge's with hahaha. all my other ota friends are either in another school or still in high school.
japanese isn't that difficult right now. it's reallly similar to korean so it's all good. all i gotta do is memorize the freakin characters and im set haha. i'm memorizing hirigana right now and i'm moving on to katakana. i think that linguistic culture changes wherever you go. it's definetly true here.
man, most of my time and memories are on vent. i told my parents that it was basically using the phone without the bill and they were like whatever haha. omg speaking of games that are going to be released, i cant wait for starcraft 2 to come out. it looks amazing, and the footage they released at blizzcon, both gameplay and ums(use map setting) are phenominal. although, i do have some concerns about how they're gonna balance this out. but i have hope in blizzard. starcraft took forever to balance and now it is the most balanced game to date.
i'm sure that in one generation, all the original ideas are going to be taken and they're gonna have to either go to an eroge or to the classics for some original work, although that's only my opinion. but, from what i've been seeing here recently, we're getting closer and closer to having originals here, or at least more intro into american society. it's becoming more and more accepted now that i think about it. and recently, funimation licensed higurashi no, which took me by shock. it's a totally diffrent genre from what they normally license. maybe they're trying to get a wider range of audience now? idk.
i wish i could go to a school festival, they sound like so much fun hahaha. not only because anime/manga make it look good but the idea of it sounds great too. maybe i'll stop by japan this summer before i head to corea, although i dnt think they would have school festivals, would they? what are you responsible for in the festival?
yeah, my friend told be about that store, or a store that's similar to it. there's one in the next state, which isn't that far considering that most of that kind of manga would have to either be imported or bought online if i ever wanted to read it. i think i'll stop by sometime soon. i'm running out of things to watch and play. there's only so many games that are translated. do eroge's have all 3 text styles?
there's a anicon in nov. which i'm pretty excited about. hmmm... maybe i'll start on that blog about my first anicon. i'll do it tmrw, i have a math test tommorow and its like 2 45 hahaha.じゃね
yea, haha. everythings pretty chill here. my roomate's pretty cool too. he was actually pretty cool about how i watch anime and stuff. he's actually into the mainstream stuff. he didn't even freak out at my dakimakura(yes, i brought it to my dorm xD). now that i'm settled, its soo hard to go to class. i only take like 3 classes hahah, man im lazy :3 o yeah, i'm in japanese at my school haha. maybe soon, i'll finally be able to play eroges w/o having to wait for translations. mann, that'd be great.
yeah, when i saw ToLoveRu canceled, i was like... wow. hahaha. well, they had to end it because they couldn't come up wit new material, from what the news feed that i read said.
hahaha, well, for this host club, we make money off of our services, not by how much we drink. although, that does sound fun xD.
well, when i was looking for the dakimakura, i didnt care wheither it was in a pillow or a cover, but i didn't expect them to be that expensive. the only reason why i bought the haruhi one was because yamamoto was there giving signatures xD. the pillow covers were actually worth more than the ones that didnt have pillows for some reason. probably because the cost of importing them because the all the covers were from either eroge's ro not well known animes.
hmm, well its sort of a mix where i live. people use both, but i think fb takes the majority of time in ppl's lives, although i dn't see why. i always communicate via ventrilo, which is a voice com thingy. if you have a mic, we could talk on vent or somethin haha
well me compared to you would probably be like comparing naruto to clannad :P yeah, i'm really fortunate to be accepted in the college that i'm going to go. hmmm, thanks for the heads up. i wasnt t really sure what i'm going to aim for during my college career. and thanks xD. i was originally planning on just picking up chicks for fun but i guess it grew into something bigger, although i'm not complaining. :D
bakemonogatari is pretty good. the whole artwork is really strange but that isnt exactly a bad thing. its definitely one of the better series being aired this season. i've been pretty occupied throughout this week with a lot of things like moving in, new gf, and ect. i haven't had a lot of time to watch/read/play anything recently. and the times where i do have freetime, i'm usually sleeping. i realyl want to catch up to kimi no iru machi but i havent had time :/. that sounds like a fun game.
im actually going to do a host club in a convention. i'm doing it with a friend and since i got approval from my gf, i should be good to go, although i dont know how i'm going to survive it. i'm a very timid person and talking to random people doesnt seem like something that i would do, but my friends talked me into it so idk :/ i've always wanted to go to a maid cafe. maybe they'll have it at the other convention
now that i have one dakimakura, i sorta want another one xD. i've been searching through the internet and i saw some nice ones, although i have no idea wat my parents would think if i got another one (they think i got my first one as a present). i can see why otakus are the way they are, i mean, im turning into one myself xD
usually, if you wait long enough, you can get it for a really cheap price. usually on the last day, dealers are trying to dispose of everything in their inventory so they'll sell it to you ifor really cheap, depending on the person. my roomate doesnt have a FB, MyS, or anything. I guess i'll just have to wait untill moving day. if my roomate was an otaku, that would be a dream come true. omg, just thinking about it makes me happy xD. hopefully everything works out. if not, i always have headphones to drown out the sound ;]
u ahve FB? well, i shouldnt be suprised. Paul Yoon. Add me if you want.
hahaha, well for me, school is starting soon. mmm, college, a new start. i was reallllllllly bad during my high school career and now i wanna start over. yup, the person i met at otakon is now my gf. strange how that happened. well, most people there were mainstream but as you said, there were a couple of people who knew stuff outside the naruto window. I wish i had a magazine subscription that gave free stuff like that. yeah, i was pretty excited to meet him in person. he looked really scary but he was a chill person once i went up and started talking. i don't think i met anyone else but i did see Mell live.
yeah, i still wish that i lived in the city. i would love to walk out at like 3-4 am to get something to eat. i hate driving to get what i want. i could probably live off ramen. i'll probably do that for my dorm actually since theres literally like no food palces around my dorm. im probably gonna get a heart attack by the end of the semester :O.
well, school starts in abuot 2 weeks so that'll be fun i guess :/. there was one of CC from Code Geass, Shana, and a couple from some eroges. I saw one from Little Busters! that I really wanted but it was sold the next day. Besides that there wasn't anythign else. I'm still happy. I got my dakimakura signed by yamamoto so i'm happy :P i'm sorta scared to meet my roomate because i'm bringing like a load of anime stuff to the dorm. o well, he'll just have to deal with it xD
Oh yeah, I asked you the same question before, sorry for asking yet again. Yeah when the series got licensed the scanlators stopped translating it. But some group started working on it again so some chapters are already translated. They take slow though. Well thanks again.
Just a quick question, do you know where I can find an English translation of Kimi ni Todoke manga? It seems like you have read until the recent chapters. Thanks.
Da Capo extremely hard until I found the guide. The game is actually pretty good. I found a eroge translating site called mangagamer at the dealers room in the anicon so I'll be occupied for like idk a month more until I run out? I've actually been busy since I found a "friend" there. I have a lot planned out for the next month so I don't think I'll have enough time to even keep up with the latest anime, which is a bummer. And OMG!! I remember that part. I was like omg omg omg why didn't I pick Nemu T_T. That part was just simply epic.
Man, I really miss the atmosphere of the whole convention. It's sorta weird not seeing cosplay wherever I go. And it feels good knowing that your 1 out of like 6 million otakus in the crowd, although most were into the mainstream anime like Naruto and ect... It's pretty depressing but oh well, what can I do? I've probably walked about a total of 24 hours in just the dealers room alone. I actually had to starve myself so I could buy more stuff. I bought a dakimakura of Haruhi since my friend bought the one of CC from Code Geass. and I got it signed by Yamamoto, Yutaka. Haha, when I took out the dakimakura to sign, he had the most suprised look on his face, and then he started laughing and said "OH DAKIMAKURA!" Yeah, fun times. I also loved the city life. I live in the suburbs bu there's like nothing to do here unless you have your own car. I'd love to live in the city.
O man, I think I messed up my stomach when I was there. I fasted every breakfast and lunch for about 3 days. On the last dinner there, I had tonkasu at a japanese restaurant but the price was freaking 20 dollars! I could of made my own tonkasu for 1/4 of the price. I had an extra bowl of rice for about 2.50, which i realized at the end of the meal. I literally cried because it was so expensive. I lived off of shin ramen and sweet tea until that day. O well, since my b-day was in like a week, some of my friends bought me things. My birthday's on the 28 so hopefully I get something good hahaha.
Well, if you have the time, you should definitely pick up S&W. The story might seem to be a little strange at first but the whole series is just simply magnificent. How long is your summer break? I actually go back to school in the end of August, but it seems like summer just started. Man, time flies by fast. For some reason, I really didn't like how they did the Kyou route. It was a lot different than what I remembered from the actual game, but as long as other people like it, it should be ok.
There's so many things that I could write. I could make this comment like <---------------------------------> this longI think I could write a huge essay on what happened at Otakon. Maybe I'll write up something in the blog for MAL. When I have time, I'll do it.
haha, dang. well, the whole series is extremely strange. Ahhhh. I actually have both versions of the game, both normal and EX. You get another ending in EX, and I heard that it was simply the best eroge out there. I wish we had clubs like that here in America, like Genshiken. My dream club would be like in the Genshiken series, although some people find it really strange that I watch anime, since I look like someone that wouldn't.
Yeah, the main reason why I actually started to play the game was because of the OP lol. I'm always searching for new music and I just happened to stumble upon it. I'm glad I did. But the translation for the actual game is only for the normal one, not EX. As for me, I'm just playing anything that's translated :P, although I favor utsuge more. I'm playing Da Capo right now, and I gotta say it's pretty difficult trying to get the arc that you want. I managed to get 1 ending and I'm working on my second one.
I haven't really caught up on manga simply cause I'm so busy with college and summer, well, I am a teenager and it is summer :P. I've caught up with all the series that I've wanted to watch. I highly suggest Bakemonogatari and Spice and Wolf II. Spice and Wolf was definitely one of the best series that I've seen. You should watch it. And your not in summer break yet? I've been in summer break since late May. That sucks hahhaha.
True, I don't really see any possibility of EnJ solving all problems that arose, especially since it seems that a new problem has risen; also because each episode is around 15 minutes. This episode was good though. I <3 the neko girl. Kawaii~ hahaha. The only series that got me completely addicted was Clannad.
I'm not that into the mecha genre, although I find it good from time to time. I liked Code Geass and I'm considering watching Gundam 00 because I really like the 2nd season op. What can I say? I love music. Well, I'm gonna go to my first anicon in about two days, so I'm excited about that. I have around 75 to spend, but I have to buy food too T_T. Ramen ftw?
Hahaha, wow. I think I'll look that up later. Hopefully it's translated. OMG The most disturbing manga I have read is Aki sora. It has literally every, you just have to read it. It's crazy xD.
Sarin gas attack? Sounds like an anime plot to me :D. Haha, jk. But I could see that as a possibility. I mean, there's a lot of crazy people in the world. Sometimes, things just happen, but I don't think that anybody could go to the extent of pulling off a full scale attack because of anime. Although I could see rape eroge's mess with people's heads. And now they're banned :D. I might be crazy over anime but I could never do anything like that, nor could I see anyone go to that extent.
Well, last time I checked, it was 30% done, with Rin's storyline being worked on first. Thank God :D. The patch that they released gives a good feel of the whole game, with all the extra things put into the game. I've gotta say, this has gotta be the best eroge I've palyed so far, even though I've only playedlike 10% of it lol. Well, I recently finished Narucissu and wow, I'm in depression right now lmao. The story was soo good. If you haevn't played it, then do it! haha. Well, I guess you wouldn't play Naruicssu since it's really a visual novel.
I'm running out of eroges and VNs to play. I've finished 3 games 100% and the others are either not fully translated or just plain bad. This summer has been sooo boring so far. All I've been doing is being lazy with friends, watching anime, or playing games. Man, I need to either find a girlfriend or a job. Haha.
Man, K-On was I think the most over rated show ever (^w^), although I can't deny that it made me laugh.
andd.... You must be talking about Kud. You must send me scans!! I must see this picture!! Onegaii~
There isn't. The whole series is probably gonna keep going till like lvl 200 then die out like most other games. Now that schools over, there's really nothing else to do besides wow xD. I was never that into the Diablo games, although my friends told me that it was a good game. I might pick D3 up if SC2 starts to bore me, although I don't think that''ll happen lol. I'm surprised that people there don't know Blizzard that well. I mean, the heart of Pro Gaming is right next to them (talking about Corea). Sounds a little strange, but, I mean, Japan has Sony and Nintendo so I guess that's a reason why they haven't. As for music, I absolutely HATE mainstream music, at least the rap/pop/r&b. There are some songs that I can deal with but besides those, I can't stand it.
It's sorta the same here, except it's homework. Homework counts as 10% of our grade. Might sound simple but being a lazy as I, obtaining over a 5% in that category is simply just a miracle. If it was attendance, I'd probably have a 3%. I slept just about EVERY DAY when I wen't to school. Mainly because my classes were so easy or just simply boring.
I just simply <3 imouto xD. As for tsunderes, idk. I dislike a lot of tsudere characters but i just simply love some of them xD. Kagami from lucky star for example.
I still havent finished Little Busters, simply cause I cant read japanese T_T. I'm not sure about Anngel beats though. It looks EXACTLY like LB except iwth diffrent characters. I read some stuff on it but I never read anything abuot a story yet, so I cant criticize just yet. I'm gonna watch it simpl cause Key made it, and they haven't let me down so far. Yui <3. I actually like her more than Mio (^w^).
Ah, well that sucks xD. Once of my closest friends is in the same position. He went literally around the globe because his dad was part of the army serving as a pastor or something like that, I'm not really sure about the details. I remember going to korean school on saturdays but I never really learned anything xD. I learned best when I didnt go O.o. Having to speak only korean at home dramatically changed my korean.
I'm up for any game. I just finished Narucissu and wow, the ending was just tragic for me. Although the middle seemed a little boring, the game as a whole was simply amazing. I loved all the CG's. It's true, if you spend a lot of time on a game, you become attached. I'm attached to Clannad and Snow Sakura xD. I'm trying to find more depressing stories like Narucissu. I'm about to play True Rememberance, and I heard that a 2nd version of Narucissu was coming out so I'll definetley try and get that. As for the imouto genre, YES! Me and a couple of friends have our own little genre's that we love. One of them loves traps, the guy below me loves teacherxstudent relationships, and i just simply love imouto relationships xD. It's a little strange, but I guess that's how we're born xD. Now that I think about it, ever since I started watching anime, my whole perception on what's right and what's wrong has completley changed. If you asked me about a broxsis relationship, I'd probably say that that's freaking disgusting. Now it's like... yes! hahaha.
Well, technology comes easy to me, just like math. I slept through every class besides like 5~10 classes the whole semseter and I managed to get a 87%. I just simply read the textbook for 5 minutes. Hopefully, I can survive college, but I'm probably gonna die xD. I'm lazy to the MAX.
Haha, I didn't expect the wiki page to be like that. For me, Distant Years is my favorite song (well besides the OP) from the OST. The song is just soooo nostalgic. It brings back feelings and I'm like q_q haha. I've watched Clannad about 2-3 times. I usually watch it when there's no new releases or good anime out. I watch the 1st season when I feel like having a light mood. The 2nd season for when I want to watch something emotional lol. That's what I look for most in an anime, emotion. But that's probably like everyone else, right :P. As for Corea/Japan, it's true. I think it was the Olympics (don't quote me). Japan didn't want Corea to be ahead of them so they changed it to Korea so Japan would be ahead. I'm not sure about the details but I think that's how it went. It sounds strange. I'm not sure why I spell Corea wit a C instead of a K. Guess it's just habit :P
As for my uni, I'm going into technology so I'll always be near a computer! Haha. Hopefully, my time doesn't get shortened. I know it will, but we can hope, cant we lol. Dang, I'm dorming at the uni that I'm attending so I won't have to take any buses/trains/ect so I guess I won't have to deal with that lol. Yeah, I don't think anything is strict here. I mean, I know a lot of people that do that kind of stuff. I mean, I used to do it to till I found a hobby (paintball) which completely destroyed my wallet. I heard that owning a firearm is illegal in Japan, which includes paintball too. I know they have airsoft, mainly because of Tokyo Maru (sp?) but airsoft isn't really as intense as paintball, well... in my opinion.
I'm not to into mecha either, but I started to like it more because of Code Geass. The idea of using chess as strategic though was pretty cool. I really want to take an exchange term over but I don't think my parents will allow it, you know, since I'm korean and I'm going to Japan, ect ect... Haha, yeah, that would be fun though. I like the fact that you can go anywhere through the train. There's nothing like that here except for the bus, although it doesn't really connect to the places that I actually want to go. Are you Japanese?
Man, you do not know how badly I want that music box. The DVD special edition is freaking $80+ TT_TT. I really might save up for it. That's how badly I want it lol. Clannad is my favorite series of all time so I have to! Now, where could I get one? I'll scourge the internet later. Right now, I gotta finish my final year of college. Thank God. I've been waiting for this day since the beginning of freshman year.
Dang, living in Tokyo sounds like fun. When I think about living in Tokyo, I usually tink about living it New York. They aren't that diffrent. Right? Well, I'm trying to go this summer break wit a couple of friends, although I have like no money. But I'll find a way. I have to go to Akiba at least once in my lifetime. I guess I could stop by after going to corea or something. Well, I still have time to think about it.
Yeah, I'm going to an anicon called Otakon. It's pretty far from my house, although it's in the same state. I'm glad that my room and ticket are paid for but I'm still trying to figure a way to gather funds for food ( I eat a lot T_T). I've actually eaten a 3 lbs. steak and mashed potatoes. Man, that was good now that I think about it. The people I'm going with have gone there previously and from what I've heard, some of them already have their cosplay outfits on.
Yeah, if i didn't have this club, I don't think I would be this open about anime, nor be as addicted, well maybe... idk. Well, as for college, hopefully I can find some people that have the same passion as I do, although I don't really plan on leaving my dorm a lot xD.
Is the drinking age 18 in Japan? Those kind of things sound like fun, although drinking a lot would probably leave a hole in my wallet as well xD. I started Kurokami as well since my friend said is was good as well, although I think I might finish Code Geass and Gundam 00 before I start up Kurokami.
Akane OVA w/ a beach setting?!?! Minato + bikini ftw <333 :D
Man, I remember trying to run HL2 on my old comp. I was able to beat it but when I tried to play the Episodes, the computer died. O well, I have my own computer anyways that I built in middle school ( everything on this computer is outdated T_T ). So are you saying that you went to the actual Akiharaba? Dang, that sounds like fun. I'm trying to go sometime during spring break of my freshman year wit a couple of friends.
It sounds like Genshiken, how the guy finally grew the balls to buy the doujinshi xD. I don't think it would be that hard. I mean, they made it to entertain the public so why feel embarrassed? :D Although I torrent all my games but we'll keep that a secret ;]. You bought the actual Clannad game? Nice. I want to buy the Limited Edition DVD of Clannad that has the cool dango musicbox included wit it, but its 80 dollars O.o Here's a link if you want to take a look at it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OetfXr1Ic30
Man, I would do anything to have that Musicbox on my keychain. I think I wouldn't hesitate to go, but I guess I'll never know until i try. I'm going to a AniCon in July. It's my first one and I'm going wit a bunch of friends so it should be really fun. Both my room and my ticket are being paid for since we did so many fundraisers so I'm happy. Now, all I have to do is save up so I can buy things, let alone eat O.o. I wish I didn't eat so much but I guess thats how I am. 6 ft, 150 lbs. Where does it all go? I wonder, but I digress.
Jeez, 15 gb for 1 game? Well, it does contain videos instead of images, so I guess that's understandable.
Anime recently have been as good as it was before, but I guess that's understandable since it's spring season. Can't wait till summer though. I'm really looking forward to Spice and Wolf 2, as well as a lot of other titles that I can't remember right now. Eve no Jikan was not worth the wait. The episode wasn't that great and the whole episode was only arond 15 minutes. I was disappointed but whats done is done. I've been playing more and more VN's so it's all good for now.
