Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

Started a Bunch of (Not So) New Anime

I've been exploring a number of different anime lately. Lately I've been juggling Fruits Basket, Escaflowne, and Yu Yu Hakusho. I thought I'd watch some older (I'm using that term to various degrees) series before I watch more recent ones. I decided to pick up some "loose ends" from my dub phase and my high school anime club days.

But I'm going to write a little more about why I'm watching Yu Yu Hakusho. I had started it in the middle when I watched it on Toonami. I had no idea what was going on, but I watched it anyway. It wasn't until a few years after that when I posted my story, Destination, on some site, and I got a review saying that the beginning was very similar to that of Yu Yu Hakusho. I hadn't even seen the beginning of the series at the time. When I finally watched the first few episodes, I freaked out a little because IT WAS JUST AS THAT REVIEWER SAID.

It's kind of scary how similarly Yu Yu Hakusho and my story start out. I assure you that they go in different directions after that. Still, I hope I don't get in trouble for copyright infringement or something.
