Hello there. Welcome to my world of Random Thoughts. In this world I’ll be posting stuff about anime and manga. Not to mention various other topics. I may post the occasional music video every now and than. And from time to time, I’ll just talk about my life in general. But first, here are a few things about me.

I was born an only child, for one thing. Originally I was planning to go into art professionally, but recently I’ve been more inclined towards writing. I still do the occasional wallpaper every now and then though, and I also still draw a little. But much of my energy these days goes into writing fan fiction. I’ve also recently become interested in archive and library work, which is something I’ve discovered I’m good at. Finally, like most people on the Internet, I like cats.

SM Crystal: How Bad Was It?

Hello all. Earlier today I came across an interesting little article on ANN about how Sailor Moon Crystal isn't necessarily a totally botched series.

CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE

I actually have a bit of a confession to make about Sailor Moon Crystal. I've only seen the first four or five episodes of it. Part of the reason is because it never seemed like I had the time to watch the rest of it. Plus all the snippets of negative reviews of the anime I'd see on ANN made me not want to watch the rest of the series. Still, with what little I've seen and read I do have a problem with how Crystal turned out. Animation issues aside, to me it seems like the anime didn't live up to its full potential. Here was a terrific opportunity to take the original story of the manga and expand on it by doing episodes that focused more on the other characters, for instance.

So I'm kind of curious to know what those of you here on TheO think. Read the above article and let me know in a comment what you think of Sailor Moon Crystal. Do you think it was an okay series that fell flat, or do you think it was a complete and total disaster?

I Loath Yard Work!

Good evening everyone. I just wanted to spend a few minutes on a post to talk about my day. Those of you reading can probably guess from the title that my day wasn't all that great. And all of you would be right, because I did not have a very f...

Counter Petition

Good evening everyone. This next post is going to be on the serious side, but it will be brief. Some of you reading may have heard about a petition going on to try and get the U.N. to ban the world-wide distribution of anime and manga. While this petition is rather troubling, there's good news about it this time. Another petition is going on right now on Change.org to counter anime-manga ban petition and the close-minded fool who started it. A link to said petition is below.

CLICK HERE

To be honest, I don't really think this other horrid petition to ban anime and manga will amount to anything at the moment. But with issues like this, it's better to be safe than sorry. So please sign the petition if you haven't already done so. And when you get done, share this petition any way you can. Email your friends/family. Tell people on Facebook if you have an account there. Post about it here on TheO, or if possible any other site you may be a part of. If a resistance has to be started, then it should start as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time.

Just a General Update

Hello again everyone. Just thought I'd do a little post to let everybody know how I've been doing. Last week my dad went on a trip to Arizona to visit a friend. He left last Wednesday evening and returned this past Sunday night at around midnig...

Amazing Realization

I've only just recently come to a realization about something. I've been a member here on TheO for over five years now. Specifically, it's been five years and over ten days, give or take an hour here or there. Frankly to me it seems like it's been longer than five years, but I don't mean that in a bad way. What I mean is that being here and visiting TheO has become such a regular part of my life that I can hardly remember what things were like before I joined up. Here's to many more terrific years to come.
