I am always learning something... I have made some great progress at deepening my knowledge in Japanese (and Chinese as well) in the last two years....since I went to grade school here in Montreal.
I grew up watching anime and reading manga from the late 80s and early 90s (I am not that old... it's just that I started watching anime at 5 or 6 in my grandparents' house. Some really old series like Kotaru and mostly kodomo-style anime of that time. Although I read Fist of North Star at around 6....(don't worry, I'm not violent at all...) The fact that my grandfather had a great library with a lot of history books and old books from the previous centuries helped me learn reading kanjis at a young age... I was able to read newspapers at the age of 6-7 .(i feel like i'm boasting but i'm not)
Add: BTW, a few years ago I found a REALLY OLD handwritten onmyoudou book in my grandfather's library. Anyway, I recall being able to do some divination back then... No idea if it works or not...My ojiisan seems really into it though so I have seen really weird books (like Sengaikyou/Shanhaijing)
物理が大好きです。実は研究に関する専攻が全部好きです。
Beside anime:
I also like Magic the Gathering TCG: it's the best card game in the world. Somewhat a collectionner more than a player.....I like reading fantasy and SF books: Robert Jordan, Fuyumi Ono, Kaoru Kurimoto, Tolkien, Tamora Pierce, Gene Wolfe, Anne Rice, Anne Robillard, Ursula K. Leguin, Octavia Butler, Isaac Asimov, Roger Zelazny, Glen Cook, etc. I am a Stargate fan too. I may start reading Haruki Marakami or Banana Yoshimoto soon. I read some of their short essays and their style is interesting. It really improves my Japanese. I also read some Shakugan no Shana light novels (somehow can't find the Japanese scans the links are all dead so I read some in Chinese...) and plan to read Trinity Blood too (too bad the author died...)

I didn't read the second half yet, but I heard about the pacing. Though what I heard the most about is the confusion as the plot tickens and the characters get developped even more (and there's a huge bunch of them..>__>).
Nope, didn't attend those. Not out of interest, it's just impossible to get to see all of them ><. As for series such as Aoi Bungaku and Trapeze, I'd say I agree for the second one ; as for the first, I cannot say yet, the second story was a bit inconsistent (you'll see for yourself..).
Already half way through ? It's been a week right x) ? But that's good, it means it's worth it. I was a bit worried at how it would turned out since it's still somebody else writing the Last Battle and conclusion of the series. Haven't bought it yet, but very very soon...*___*. And by ''even more amazing'' you mean less confusions and very long descriptions :p (though that ain't really something bad about him, just a bit tiring when you want to get through the books)..or something else ?
And yup, I did attend Otakuthon, wouldn't miss it :). I might even join as a volunteer next year since it was in my projects anyways (did not get the time last year, at all). You did too I guess x) ?
Eh ouais je suis bien Québécoise, Montréalaise aussi. Mais la confusion a embarqué, français ou anglais, peu importe x)..
You're reading The Gathering Storm *___*. I Envy You (so badly..). I've read half of them in french when I was 11 so I'm stuck rereading them all in english, and it's taking me a pretty long while. I think I have a least a year to go..bouhouu >___>. Anyway, just wanted to say hi to a Montrealer with good tastes (Guin Saga + Kemono no Souja Erin), even if your understanding of japanese (Got to give you credit for that though) spoiled me :p.
Ouais je sais mais c'est vraiment enervant de changer les options quand les autres membres l'utilise puis aussi pour ecrire dans les autres forums vue que c'est majoritairement anglais ici. Ouais je sais que devrais le faire au moins pour mon profil. Je vais y travailler dessus.
Il est francais mais mon frere utilisent l'ordinateur puis change constament pour l'anglais car il est en literature anglaise. Le clavier est donc plus universel dans les langues. Pourquoi tu dis qu'il est louche?
loool.... so thats why i couldnt find any info about it XD ... all i could find is the male version which is the first op ... but i didnt really like it that much ... chitose's voice made it so much better .... but i read lots of comments about how the new OP isnt as good as the old one .... XD
i thought it sounded like hajime chitose... but when i looked up the song name with her name, nothing came up so i thought it might be someone else who sounds like her... i really like her voice its so nice and calming ... <3 love her songs too... i guess the song is not released on the internet yet.. maybe thats why i cant find it XD ... well i guess ill have to wait a bit longer ^.^
thanx for the info :D now i can stop looking for it XD ive been looking for 3 hours maybe
