Anime Relations: Love Hina

So, I just finished reading Love Hina Vol. 14 ...

I loved it. The manga was definetly better then the anime (still love both). I watched the Love Hina anime ... wow, probably when I was 12.

~~ FLASHBACK SEQUENCE... IN SEPIA! :O ~~
My best friend at the time's brother was out on some trip for the weekend and his brother's computer was a lot better then the upstairs one so we hung out in the basement while he was gone.

I was on kazaa (Lol, remember kazaa?) and saw these Love hina videos... watched episode 1 to see what it was about... then 2... I think I marathoned at least 12 episodes, absolutely loved it. But then I had to go home =___=
~~ END FLASH BACK SEQUENCE ~~ lol.

I know it must've been awhile (months? o_O dunno.) that I downloaded the anime myself at home and watched the whole series. Since then, every couple years or so I'd just feel like watching it again (it get's easier to download them every time haha).

But during that whole time, the only other anime I watched were the dubs on the cartoon channels (dbz anyone? lol). I don't know why I never thought of watching more anime over the internet. I guess I just had a computer = video games + porn kind of mindset. lol.

At the end of last school year I was on Battle.net, got into a ventrilo with a few people. One of them talked about Bleach a couple times, and I asked him about it. "Yeah you should check it out" so I did. Bleach got me hooked on using veoh for anime. Eventually I started trying to keep track of what I watched (haha notepad list ftw).

I thought there had to be an easier way, so a quick google search of "anime list" and guess what I found? :3

Hmm. this started out as a "yay completed my first manga" to a "the complete background of CanadaAotS" blog. lol.

Anyway, I'm sniffing around ebay for some Negima manga. I've read a couple volumes on the computer already, but really, I hate reading off a computer screen :P. I'm happy I managed to read the actual manga for the last volume of Love Hina. (I requested it at my local library about... 3 and a half months ago =_= the waiting list for borrowing manga is so long lol.)

So that's it. I'm going to own all the volumes of deathnote soon enough, making it the first complete manga I'll own. Reading chobits through the library, T_T again, the requests line up is ridiculous.

But  I think I'm rambling (meant to end this about 3 paragraphs back D:). Need to learn how to blog without talking about pretty much everything haha.

I've discovered the cutest bug ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stw4J6K_8vI

... DONT YOU WANT TO HUG IT?!

Unfortanetly, this is the bug:
Megalopyge opercularis (wikipedia) "...Ironically, the resemblance of the larvae to soft, colorful cotton balls encourages people to pick them up and pet them.

The 'fur' of the larva contains venomous spines that cause extremely painful reactions in human skin upon contact. The reactions are sometimes localized to the affected area but are often very severe, radiating up a limb and causing burning, swelling, nausea, headache, abdominal distress, rashes, blisters, and sometimes chest pain, numbness, or difficulty breathing (Eagleman 2007). Additionally, it is not unusual to find sweating from the welts or hives at the site of the sting."

I'd probably pet it anyway >_>;;

Reminded of Nayuki from Kanon. "NEKO NEKO NEKO!" xD

(BTW wtf is up with not being able to embed youtube videos? What's the point in that? I mean, I'll just end up linking it anyway... wouldn't it be easier to embed? GUHHH. Whatever. :P)

Just finished Toppa Tengen Gurren Lagann.

It's... amazing. By far the best anime I've watched. The only tv show I've ever seen where I felt an aldrenaline rush from it.

I'm kinda pissed tbh. I have the feeling that TTGL has ruined anime for me XD It'll be the show that I'll compare everything else to. It will be the "10/10" and the ratings of everything else will suffer.

FLCL will drop to a 9. Same with death note. Then everything else will get shifted down... damn... lol

====== SPOILER ALERT =======
Seriously, when Nia was standing in front of the core of the Moon-ganmen, and Simon points out the ring she never took off, .. T___T it was a close call, "Yeah, it really was sand in my eyes, I swear >_>" lol.

And fuck, throwing a BIG BANG AT HIM? WTF? ITS JUST SO EPIC!!!!! GAH!!! ok It's really late, I'm tired, and I'm losing my ability to type anything but exclamations, so I'll go to bed.

Good night!
Oyasuminasai!

I've recently started watching a bunch of mecha anime's... my current addiction. I blame Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann for being ridiculously awesome. I know Neon Genesis Evangelion is rather old, but I'd never seen it so I'm watching that as well.

Toying with the idea of starting Escaflowne, and Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel) xD

I refuse though to watch any Gundam! I was probably tainted by the english tv show version but oh well.

I bought my first manga today! lol.

As you can tell from my manga list, the only thing I've read is Love Hina.
Been reading that off of my computer screen... not all that fun. lol.
But today I went down to my local comic book store, and bought Death Note Volume 1 ^_^

Too bad my budget is so tight right now >_> I'll probably have all 10 volumes in about 19 weeks. Haha.

I also found out today that the library has some of the more popular manga in stock as well (they all had at least 2 or 3 people in a waiting list though -_- lol) so I'll read a bunch that way.

Anyways I thought I'd write SOMETHING down in my blog since I don't have any entries yet :P

It’s time to ditch the text file.
Keep track of your anime easily by creating your own list.
