I am always learning something... For instance, I have made some great progress at deepening my knowledge in Japanese and Chinese in the last two years... This is certainly a feat since I mostly grew up 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....(vive le parentage) 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 Kanji at a young age. By the age of 6-7, I was able to read newspapers in Kanji.
Also, a few years ago I found a really old handwritten esoteric 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 read famous ancient texts like Sengaikyou/Shanhaijin and the Book of Changes.
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 clearly the best card game in the world. I play YGO too, but only for the fun factor. MTG is the real deal. Somewhat a collectible enthusiast more than a player. I like reading fantasy and SF books: G.R.R. Martin, Robert Jordan, Fuyumi Ono, Kaoru Kurimoto, Tolkien, Tamora Pierce, Gene Wolfe, Anne Rice, 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 will really improve my Japanese.
Stability results were high which suggests you are very relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic..
Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.
Extraversion results were medium which suggests you are moderately talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting.

Anyways, I've been watching Gundam Seed recently and just got a quick question. What is the order that I should watch after I finish the 50 episode original series?
If I were to buy that one, I think I will need to redesign my room to have big spot for it LOL

Oh not sure if you have seen this one yet: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10189441
If your monitor is 24 inch, I think that figure should be somewhere around that size if not bigger. LOL
If I was one of her fan I would buy in a heart beat but too bad I am not.
Fortunately I had a few slow nights for shows I was interested in. Round about chapter 200 the plot started clicking into high gear so that helped. It certainly is a bit different manga now than it started out (better too in my opinion). Here's hoping we can get another anime to follow up on the story sometime in the future. I wonder how The Unlimited affected readership.
Well without this site it is simply too hard to keep track of all the manga I'm watching and the ones I want to watch. So I'll remain active until I stop watching anime & reading manga.
Thank you for sharing Miho Fukuhara's song on the forum!
I really like her, but I totally missed her singing new songs in a LIVE show! :D
She's really amazing! I can't wait for her new album release!
Thanks. I'm already up to ch. 11 so I can see catching up to the series ending pretty quick and ski season is coming to an end so I'll have another 5 or 6 hours a day to apportion between manga, anime, Japanese lessons, and gaming. I'm looking forward to bridging the gap between where the anime left off and where The Unlimited series appeared to pick up--darker and a bit more adult.
MS Unicorn definitely is the best of the best out of the gundam franchise for me
and episode 6 was like one of the best gundam episode ever. its presentation and battle of ideology is done perfectly like no other series could ever done
