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.

The Summer Event Has Been Decided

Edit: I'm going to refresh this once a day for the sake of exposure.

Edit Part Deux: I guess I didn't make good on the comment in my first edit. Oops.

This year's summer event will be somewhat of a combination of a few of the ideas that I previously presented. It shall be a 4-koma round robin.

Basically, the premise is simple. Each person does one panel of a 4-koma. There will be as many comics as there are participants, so everyone gets to start one. Anyone can participate, but if there are a lot of people who sign up, not everyone will be working on all the same comics.

I will be turning the 30DOA World into a home base for this activity, so all additional rules and announcements will be posted there.

Sign-ups begin NOW and will go through June 8. The event will start June 15. I haven't figured out whether each person should work on their panel for one or two weeks. Input would be appreciated.

Questions? Comments? Flamingos? Please leave them in the comment box. Except maybe the flamingos. They may not fit.

Summer Event (Input Needed)

Hey everybody. It's getting to be summer, so I want to do another summer event. The problem is that I can't think of a good one. Since 30DOA was only half successful, I think I'd want to stay away from that.

Here are some half-formed ideas that I have. I just want to bounce them off you guys.

  • A manga "troupe" where everyone does one aspect of a manga. This probably would take longer than the summer, though.
  • Something with OC crossovers.
  • A fill-in-the-blank comic in which one person draws pictures and another person fits dialogue to it.
  • A story/idea development clinic.

I'd be happy to hear other ideas, suggestions, and input from you guys. If anyone wants to help co-host, please let me know.
