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.

OH EM JIGGLYPUFF!

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.

Out of the Hospital + Other Stuff

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?
