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.

Pokemon Dilemma (and B-Day Stuff)

First off, I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and gifts. They brought a smile to my face.

I am SO GLAD that I posted my SS in time. I haven't received mine yet, but I'm a patient person (unless it's with myself). It's sure to be worth the wait. Besides, I've been late with SS gifts before. Maybe it's karma.

So! Now to talk about my birthday party. We did what any family who doesn't want to cook on Christmas would do: go to a Chinese restaurant. We had some delicious dim sum and the best tofu EVARR.

I guess I'll talk about the loot that I got-- but only the interesting stuff. First, one of my aunts gave me money to buy a year's worth of Netflix. I know there anime section is dwindling, but at least I can FINALLY watch The Seven Deadly Sins. I've heard Netflix has a lot of good cartoons, too. A friend of mine has been urging me to watch My Little Pony.

Another really cool thing is that my parents are planning to help me with next year's ACen costs. What I really want is a hotel room so that I don't have to keep driving up and back every day. I hope I can actually get one.

Finally, my brother and his girlfriend got me something that I was not expecting at all: Pokemon Sun. My brother knows my Pokemon habits, and that I tend to stretch out each game as long as possible. He also knows that I haven't played a game since Gen II. He said it was OK if I didn't want it, and that I could return it, because we both know it would consume my life.

My dilemma is this: should I keep it? I'm weighing the pros and cons, but I don't know what to make of it. If I do keep it, I feel like I should also get the Gen VI games to "pick up where I left off" with the Gen III remakes. Do the even make those anymore?

Well, I guess that wraps up (get it? I was talking about presents) this post. Even though it's late at night (or tomorrow, depending on your location), I still want to wish you guys a merry Christmas. If you don't celebrate, I wish you a happy Hanukkah. If you don't celebrate that either, tell me what you do celebrate so that I can wish you that. If you don't celebrate anything today, I just hope you have a great day.
