I like manga, anime, and Japanese stuff in general. (Well, of course I do or why would I have joi- nevermind.) Anyway, I loooove talking about it and here's a place for me to do so! Comment away!

Currently Watching...

So after going back to Inuyasha and watching an episode or 2 on Hulu,(They took it off Netflix! WHY!?) I'm now watching Skip Beat on Crunchyroll.

I'm familar with the story to a degree, because I think my friend was reading the manga at one time and lent me some of it. I also might have seen some of these first few episodes because I remember parts of the plot. (It's bad when you can't remember what you've watched, isn't it?) However, I know I didn't finish the series... I think I would remember that!

Anyway, I'm on episode 7 and enjoying it! It's more of a comedy than a drama, but that's what keeps the show rolling, that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Everyone has comedic cartoony moments, not just the main character. And it's about trying to break into show business, a topic that is usually pretty interesting in it's own right. Its worth checking out if you're looking for something fun to watch. (Also, the opening and ending songs are quite catchy.XD)

Boys Over Flowers

One of my current obsessions is Boys Over Flowers, the Korean drama based off of the manga of the same name. It's about a girl, Jan Di, who ends up going to a rich private school against her will. She clashes against the school's beloved group of bullies, the F4.(And obviously, much more than that happens, but I'm just giving a basic summary.) I've watched 5 episodes so far, and I'm completely overwelmed! So much happens in one episode, and there's 25 in all. Will I make it through them all? We'll just have to wait and see.

As for the manga, I actually own volume one but didn't care for it that much when I bought it a few years ago, so I never bothered collecting the series. But since I'm enjoying the Kdrama,I might start to track them down.(They were published in 2003, so while they're not exactly hard to find, they tend to cost around $12 or more new.)

Check it out on hulu or netflix if you have some time to spare!

Well, that was... sad.

*Here Be Spoilers*
I've been watching Black Butler for a month now, and I just finished the first season dub.(Not including the Hamlet episode.) Wow, that was depressing. D: The whole time I felt so bad for Ciel, especially towards the end when he seems to realize what he is giving up. And I thought Sebastian hovered between protective parent, predator, and some other emotion, passion, perhaps? Something similar to a romantic vibe, but NOT, romance or attraction. Hmmm. And Grell scared the $%^$ outta me when he was revealed. The Queen was also very freaky. I have to say though, the animation was great, and every fight scene was choreographed very well.

Anime for Christmas!

So I got both Princess Tutu and Angel Beats on DVD for Christmas. The Bonus Features on PT are great!!! Voice Actor/Studio Commentary, bloopers, and lots of behind the scenes info. And I was surprised with the art books for Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away. What did everyone else get for their respective Winter holidays?

QUACK!
