same here~ hahah, that was the second anime i got into (after sailormoon :oops: yes, i was such a 'tarded geek haha) and i thought it was the funniest thing ever XD;; have you ever watched abenobashi mahou shoutengai, elie?? it's by the same creators as furikuri i think XD; i just never watched furikuri subbed before, so i was utterly lost in watching the raw hahah.. but abenobashi is so funny~~~ XD;; a lot of crack and randomness hahah~

@ Anoni:

I think the Spirit of Atlantis probably ins[ired by the seahorse,
like in little mermaids, the chariots pulled by those seahorses.

@ shosho:

speaking or Fushigi Yugi
do you know that Watase Yuu
the mangaka who created it,
has stopped drawing shoujo
and she's now drawing BL? :insane:

it was one of our firsts too~~~! after dbz/sailormoon/ranma i mean... we watched and memorized all of those first, used to be good enough to be able to quote them. but fushigi yuugi was our "first" real step into anime heheh. we also thought it was the funniest thing ever hahah :XD

nope i've never watched abenobashi! what's it about *o* :heart:




edit: witch~~~ oooh has she? i actually never got in to her other series. because all her main characters looked like Tamahome which me and my sis both disliked heheh... so we just couldn't get past it.

oh, wow, seriously, witch?? XD;; i kind of stopped following her stuff after tanpopo lol. not that i didn't like her work anymore, but more that i had other distraction hahah. but i'm not all that surprised on her BL road~ just happy that she finally 'gave into' her (may be) "true" calling hahah!! what are some of the more popular BL series she's done now? :O or is it more douijinshi work?

and how explicit are they? ;d <333 DETAILS, PLS! haha

EDIT!
sorry, elie, i missed your post haha. but abenobashi~ XD;; it's too hard for me to explain~ here's an excerpt from wikipedia

Childhood friends Arumi and Sasshi are residents of the Abenobashi commercial district in Osaka, Japan. After an accident, they find themselves transported to an alternate sword and sorcery world. Their attempt to get back to reality finds them traversing a series of nonsensical worlds built on science fiction, war, fantasy, dating sim games and American movies. Each alternate Abenobashi is a surreal manifestation of Sasshi's otaku interests, populated by analogs of the protagonists relatives and acquaintances and a blue-haired stranger known as Eutus.
Their quest to return home is at core a bildungsroman because the Abenobashi dimensions are mostly hobby worlds of increasing sophistication.[citation needed] Sasshi does not want to go home, and in fact is the sole force propelling them between worlds. While chasing the cat in the first episode, Arumi's grandfather fell off the roof and died. With this new trauma pressuring him in addition to his apprehension about the destruction of the shopping arcade and the Asahinas' moving away, Sasshi was no longer willing or able to cope with reality, and unbeknownst to even himself, he had caused their dimension to rewrite itself into worlds echoing his escapist obsessions.

woah how oddish! it sounds strangely Tsubasa Chronicles-ish :XD i think that is one series you really gotta watch in order to understand LOL! i'll try to track it down later :drool:

i don't know how tsubasa chronicles is XD;; i'm not much of a clamp fan haha. and well, abenobashi kind of turns depressing towards the end, but only because of reality hitting thing XD; but the beginning and stuff is great and filled with awesome LOLness! i actually LOL'ed IRL so much haha.

and i thought fushigi yuugi was the funniest crack at the time, mainly because of tasuki and chichiri XD;;; especially when tasuki insulted the horse he rode about not giving it carrots for being too slow or something haha... horse uppercut him and he apologized hahah...

XD I stopped around tanpopo too actually.

In fact when I first heard about it,
I had big doubt and thought
that my friend probably heard the wrong gossip.

But it's true,
and it becomes instant hit in Japan.

The style is a bit different and darker
than her usual shoujo manga.

The pacing and atmosphere of the whole manga
is beautiful and pretty intense though.
Just as expected from
a pro shoujo mangaka of her level.

Just google "Sakura Gari"

There are scanlation for it too.

I can spoil it a bit if you want.

In my honest opinion,
actually it's kind of like Zetsuai.

How the repressed strong feeling of the 'popular' seme
reacted toward a pure and naive, boyish uke.
The one and only person who moved his feeling.

Just highlight my post above for spoiler.

The plot is a bit cliche,
like in the level of regular BL manga
but the whole story telling is just at a totally different level.





And as expected,
there are raep moment. XD


And up to this part
to see the more heavy spoiler.

oOOoOH i luved that scene! UPPERCUT! :rofl: :heart: and how Tasuki does his little dance with Kouji :heart: man~~~ i should re-watch that series again! tasuki/chichiri/hotohori/nuriko = luff :love:

we both really didn't like tamahome/miaka tho... and we both thought it was insanely odd how we could love a series but hate the main characters??? i think it was one-too-many high pitched "TAMAHOME!!!" "MIAKA!!!" screams that did it. we also felt a lot of pity for Yui and decidedly blamed everything bad on tamahome & miaka.

i do love CLAMP tho~~~ but not insanely fond of Tsubasa, particularly the anime. dunno, it just goes soooo slow that i can't watch the anime. xxxHolic is awesome tho :XD

OOOH i've discovered abenobashi on veoh.com :love: must watch it tomorrow after pick up mom from airport.

but ack! elie gotta be sleeping now~~~ or at least attempt to. don't want to be late and miss picking up mom from airport! she'd probally be mad lol :XD

nitey minna! :drool:

EHHH! Yuu Watase started on shounen ai? O__O!! <333 *is a fan of Yuu Watase* xD;;;

nitey nite elie <3 *chus*

G'nite elliechan. =3

@ kimcheeboo:

Yes, she is.
As expected from someone who created Nakago. XD

I'm actually more surprised at the rumors
that she will stop doing shoujo manga,
even though I'm not one of her hard core fans.

@ witch:
oooh, really? but isn't a lot of her shoujo manga are kind of "dark" though? XD;;; i think tanpopo was the only 'light hearted' one that i really like! fushigi yuugi was nice, but after awhile, it got old haha. i couldn't get into ayashi no ceres either x____x;

and I'M A SUCKER FOR SPOILER, TOO hahaha~ evil! /reads it anyway XDDD ah, i haven't really followed any yaoi/shounen ai series at all TT3TT;;; i've been so into the type of pairing where both guys aren't so 'stereotypically' yaoi couple like? i love mika sadahiro's stuff mainly because she role-reversed her uke/seme stuff XD <3 TAKAKURA ROW = <333 okay, i ramble, but yeah, you get the idea haha. but i'll be interested in finding out more of that manga mainly because it's watase that started it XDDD;


@ elie:
YES~ hahaha~ kouji dance is LOL!!! at a time like that still has time to dance wth hahah!! hotohori and his "why... am i so... beautiful...?" moment hahaha <3

hahah i found tamahome/miaka annoying, too, but wasn't like full on hate on them XD; it just got annoying, especially on miaka's constant wanting to get away from everyone else, thinking it'll be best for them and her acting cold towards him, even though she still loves him. once or twice, i get it. but more than that, it got OLD hahha. if i was him, i'd go, "OKAY, THEN, FINE! WHERE'S YUI?!" lolol

i think i was turned off by clamp with x? like i saw the movie and it was pretty and all, but after all that, i kind of looked for more info on other clamp's work and a lot of the times... so depressing hahaha. i'm more of HAHAHA sugar high type of person D; i go LOL > depressing angst, unless it's from an RP with a friend or something :ninja:

YES! GO WATCH ABENOBASHI SOMEHOW!! if my net was faster, i'd be going there, too!!

kay, nighty, sweets! <333

Does that mean she finished the FY: Genbu Kaiden series already? @[email protected];;
I've been only able to keep up with so much up until her oneshots and FYGK @[email protected];; haha

I didn't even follow the Genbu Kaiden series XD; I'm bad at keeping up with ANYthing! hahah.

KIMMEH!!! /random love attack! HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY ALREADY! XD <3

Shoshie needs some assistance for keeping up things then xP *coughmetoocough*

Yep yep! Happy anniversary to everyone here xD <333333 *drowns sho in her chus* :kiss::heart::heart::heart:

i don't mind drowning in kimmeh's chuuuus <333 and is kimmeh still good at keeping up with mangas and stuff? XD which shoujo manga are you into now? :O

Honestly, I'm not sure which SHOUJO manga/manhwa I'm reading right now xD;; Haha
I've been reading various types of mangas/manhwas, to the point where its hard to keep up and too long to make a list xD <3
^ which means, kimmii is no good at keeping up with things but did attempted to xP
But if I were to say which shoujo ones I'm currently reading right now, I think it'll be Kamichama Karin Chu xD;;; haha

What about shoshie? <333

Damm; I was online when you wrote all this but not on Menewsha .__.

Ah, who asked latly what ish celebrated on the first May? I don't know but I've found out that in my Country its the 'Day of Work' and has its roots in America, so you should know it as well.
But latly, most people here call ist just 'FirstMayCelebrateDay' XD

>> Anoni
Yeah, I guess I know what you mean, but I think I will keep this look/expression now. I haven't found a better one yet ^^'
Uhm yes, I don't wear it a lot. At the moment it lays on my Mule while I play with the thought of selling or not selling ^^''
I dunno, I realy like it; its a cool Item but ... I have no clue why I don't use it

@ kimmeh:
yesh~ i know what you mean! XD; ever since i started being so busy to even collect anymore manga, i got lazy to even want to read online XD;;; but at least you attempt to! better than me! i give up even once i looked at the long want-to-read-list hahah...

What's Kamichama Karin Chu about? :O comedy? XD i like those ones *3* <3 and nothing in particular on my side XD;; just old manga haha... and may be if i get too bored, i try to catch up on hot gimmick but even then... so lazy wth.


@ kirsch:
eh? wrote all what but not on menewsha? XD;;; and i was the one that asked~ haha~ ohhh, probably veteran's day then :] or something like that XD; we had a day off today, too, but something to do with the day of jesus' rise or something. i don't know. the date was red and my siblings didn't have to go to school/work XDDD;;;

>> Shosho
When you wrote the last to Pages Here, I was online, But I wasn't on Menewsha, so I missed it all again , though I could have had the chance to be there. Thats just a random thought of me ^^

Ah, you were that? Okay ^^ Hm, I don't have to school eighter, enough for me xD
May ish a cool Month to me, first two days off, then a weeks of school then holidays (wait jesus rise is supposed to be in there o_o not now) and an other week school and May ish over ^^

Ohhh!! haha, i see, i see XD; i do that often, too haha. randomness. i'm currently living in indonesia XD; and i think for most, may is kind of like the finals month @[email protected]; i remembered hating may so much during my university years XDDD;;; finals month = hectic because of procrastination haha.

at first i thought the jesus rise thingie was kind of like easter, but i thought easter's supposed to happen on a sunday, right? and wow~ lots of holidays in may there, eh? XD lucky!

>> ShoSho
Yeah, where would be the fun in the world if we weren't allowed to go random x3

Ah Indonesia, sorry I didn't knew that;
well the written finals are already over here, but there are still the oral exam in the end of May.
Of course not for me, I made my first graduation last year and in three years I'll be after the second one ;3

Well I thought Jesus rise is in Pentecost (not sure about the word; if its wrong, blame my dictionary) and my Pentecost Holidays are still a week away from me xD
Yeah, lots of holidays in May rock! ... if you don't look at June and July, there ish not even a single day off ._.

@ shosho:

Yeah I know some of her works are dark too,
but usually there are still some funny moments too.
In Sakura Gari, it seems she aims for
a really dark and serious romance manga type.
I think it's more like the plot is stereotypical,
but she managed to make the characters to feel unique.
The setting is around the Japan's restoration era,
so it will makes you feel like you're reading a classical masterpiece.
The details and story's flow are just amazing. *ish a retro fan*

(Is it really ok to discuss this kind of topic here? ^^;;
I hope his kind of talk won't scare the potential customers. )

@ kimcheeboo:

I don't know that the FY genbu is already ended or not.
In fact, I never actually follow FY manga, only the anime
and that's because the local TV channel aired it. ^^;
Maybe she was talking about not starting a new shoujo title?
I'm actually not sure since it's only rumor.

Hmm...I'm just really curious.

Where has Aeris been?! :mrgreen:

OH MY GOD. OwO;

I was randomly reading Star's 'About me' section, and when I read the status, I thought it said 'Status: Single, looking for a good cock ;D'


O/////O;
