What can I say about myself. I love anime, and talk about it for hours if someone else shows interest and sometimes if they don't.
Umm..Music! Country and Rock for me. A lot of people don't like country, I don't see why not but it's all in people's taste I guess.
Oh! I have my msn and Aim stuff up, but please don't add without asking first, or else I'm just going to block. and I hardly get on AIM
A scene from the anime Shuffle! The .gif was created by a friend of mine.
Toradora has a pretty big following. You'd think there would be a second season for it.
I remember the last time I stayed up until 3:30. Wait...no I don't XD
God I love this phone. MAL updater app, realtime traffic reports, hundreds of hours of visual novels in better resolution than the DS, half a dozen great emulators. I can't stop >.>;;
Eh, to me it's not so much how they attack as it is their personalities. They're almost the same character, but not quite. You know how I love the concept of a tsundere being forced into situations that reveal her true feelings. Trying to live up to her noble background makes Louise end up in those situations more often, I think.
We still have something of a penchant for thinking all animation has to be about action and beatings, in this country. Sadly :(
There are some titles I'm glad will never be released here. Kodomo no Jikan would never work over here. I'd rather read it in peace without people misunderstanding it in droves and pointing the evil finger at it.
I'd say we could share Louise, but...there isn't very much of her to go around XD
Yeah, seriously can't wait. I liked Taiga, but...she's more "you". I'd have to leg-wrestle you for Louise ^_^
The first season of Zero didn't do well over here? At this point I bet that means they just won't bring it out at all. Kind of surprising it flopped, with how popular it is. Of course...some of these companies that license anime either do it as an afterthought because their primary income is in something else, or they have the same syndrome problems I ran into when I was in direct sales with gaming store retailers. They promote what they think is "cool" by personal standards, rather than thinking about marketing as a whole. I hate Dragonball Z for example, but you better believe when I was working for Legends Entertainment in 1997, I was ordering craploads of stuff for it. It was selling.
I remember a retailer once insisting that she wanted five Vampire Counts Black Coaches for her store (Warhammer Fantasy). I asked her if she had any skeletons or zombies, and she said no, she just thinks the black coach is cool. I had to give the usual lecture about why specialty items like that are not going to sell if you don't have core troops for your customers to buy first, heh.
After the last independent game store in Bel Air, MD closed some months back, a new little hole in the wall place showed up. Man, what a fool that guy is. I'd be amazed if he's still there. I walked in to that little shop and found that over three quarters of it was just gaming tables. There was very little product on the shelf, and what was there was obviously geared to what he personally liked. Also he never acknowledged me as a customer -- he just sat back there playing games with his buddies, even though I was in clear view from the moment I walked in. I could have robbed him blind if I was that kind of person and he would never have known. There was almost no family oriented product nor starter items to get new people interested, or for parents to buy for their kids. No greeting, and when I finally did walk up to the counter, I practically had to walk back there and flag the guy down to let him know he actually had business.
Absolute fool. No idea how to run a business. Just another one of the 80% of game store retailers that "thought it would be cool to own a game store", and will be amazed when they go under.
