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.

I haven't posted since last September! Time to brush the dust off of this blog.
To be honest, I don't have many creative endeavors going on. I haven't drawn a thing yet this year. Part of it is lack of inspiration. Part of it is lack of confidence. I'm at a point where drawing just isn't all that enjoyable. Sometimes I wonder if this is what it means to be an adult. Or it could be a case of depression. In any case, I haven't been drawing, so that explains my lack of activity. I do patrol theO daily, though.
I'm also watching a lot of anime. I've picked up a lot of series this year, though I haven't completed any of them yet. Check my Anime-Planet watch-list if you like. It's easier than typing out everything that I'm watching. Plus, it's a little plug for Anime-Planet, which I've been recommending to all the anime fans in my life. I'm actually starting to get to know people there.
To end this post on a more positive note, does anyone have any music they recommend? I gravitate more towards rock and alternative, though I'm willing to listen to anything except religious or country music. I'm mainly looking for albums, since I have Spotify, but if you have individual song recommendations, I'm open to those too. Thanks in advance! ^_^
Long time no post, huh? Stuff in my life has been happening.
I got a new computer and a new tablet a few months ago. Sad to see Windows 7 go, but my old computer was sloooow. Like a snail. Un escargot. More like an escar-stop. I'm not funny. As for the tablet, I got it because I picked up a promotional flyer at ACen with a discount on certain models of tablets. I figured that since my old tablet doesn't work with Windows 10, I might as well get a new one while the promotion was going on. I haven't used the tablet much, which brings me to my next point.
I haven't been drawing much. In fact, I haven't completed anything since the SS. I wonder if OCtober might change that, but I doubt it. I've kind of neglected my OCs. I haven't written anything new either. I want to make some progress with my OCs and their stories, but most of what draw and write right now doesn't look good to me.
What I have been making is music. I'm finally, finally, finally recording my album in a studio! Slowly but surely, I'm moving forward with my ambition. I got all the parts recorded for my first song, though I'm thinking I should redo the vocals. I hope I actually can (long story regarding the "actually" bit). If not, I'm going on to my next song. My hope is to get the album done sometime next year. I apologize to the winners of my Challenge that I promised my music to. I didn't realize how much time this would take. I'm working on it, I swear!
Other than that, I've mostly been working and watching anime in my spare time. Among the ones I'm currently viewing are Blue Exorcist and My Hero Academia. I'm thinking about picking up another one or two, or watching a sequel series of something. We'll see.
Who here has a Nintendo 3DS? If you want to exchange friend codes, just leave a comment and I'll PM it to you. Maybe we can have a Pokemon battle and you can kick my butt.
Today is my 10-year Otaku-versary! I've never actively participated in an Internet community this long before. Sure, my DA and Facebook accounts are older, but I rarely ever use those. I was going to prepare a drawing for this occasion, but all I have is a sketch which I may never finish.
To be honest, I haven't been drawing or writing much. My job has taken a lot out of me. So has recovering from surgery (I'm almost finished!). I'm still scribbling now and again, though nothing really post-worthy. That hasn't kept me from lurking daily on theO.
Love you guys.
Just wanted to tell you guys that I've been out of the hospital for about a week. Things are going about as well as they can: my pain has been manageable and my strength is returning. The only things wrong are (a) I can't eat solid food for a few weeks, (b) I still can't drive, and (c) I feel kind of isolated and lonely because I haven't been able to go out much. At least I don't have to worry about physical therapy anymore.
I checked out a bunch of anime DVDs from my library's network, thinking I'd watch them in the hospital, but I didn't get to. I've been killing time with them post-discharge, though. (Elricz, if you're reading this, I haven't gotten to Blue Exorcist just yet. It's my first priority after I return those DVDs.)
One thing I'm very glad of is that I finally finished my demos! I haven't forgotten about the Challenge that I hosted prematurely in which the prize was my music that I hadn't finished recording. Now I can say that the rough demos are complete. So to the winners-- Lena, Usa (who I haven't seen around in FOREVER), and Judai-- would you like the demos or would you be willing to hold out for something more polished? Or would you like both?
The final thing I'd like to mention is that my 10-year Otakuversary is coming up in a few months. I want to draw a picture to celebrate, but I have no idea what it should be. Thoughts?
