*sigh* If only I had the time. I used to draw a lot, but ever since the middle of my university years, I've not drawn as much as before. In high school, I did art to an advanced level. Now, it's very rare that I pick up a pen and draw. My skillz are probably very poor by now. I think had I applied m...

Thus, I am not one of the most hardest-core anime fans, as I haven't been to a convention. ...

Some profound :P thoughts on the anime industry occurred to me today at work. They were a result of reading your messages on the boards, a cosplay costume at Anime USA, and someone's comment about it. I have taken a little time to compose my thoughts and make an entry on my LiveJournal. http://www.l...

I don't check the message boards for a couple of weeks, and chaos breaks loose. I should do this more often. :P [hr]samus -- [s] "If people who do not understand each other understand that they do not understand each other, then they understand each other better than, not understanding each other, t...

It's about this school girl who falls in an old well in her granfather/mother's farm in the country. She wakes up at the turn of the century (or further...

Yes, I agree that Hellsing's soundtrack is decent, despite it's flaws in other areas. Other anime which I think have good music: Noir - The opening theme is unusual, IMO. I'm sort of hazy on the rest of it, having seen it more than a year ago, but Noir's music always stood out moreso than other seri...

Let me think... The London Anime Club (don't know the URL, but you can just Google it), if I remember correctly, keeps a pretty updated list of clubs and cons in the UK.

I also know of a place that will ship HK DVDs from the US to the UK. However translation and subtitle timing is greatly suspect. You never know what you might get. I saw the first 5 or so episodes of Wolf's Rain, HK DVD, owned by one of my friends. Oh my God, the translation was fucking awful. I kne...

Yay. It's been updated. I think the links to the anime convenions, on the Links page, should be fixed, as they contain old dates.

I think we showed 'Nadesico' a few years back - they belonged to Hunter, if I recall correctly. I sort of missed the last five or so crucial episodes, and didn't see what happened in the end, but as I wasn't a massive fan to begin with, I wasn't bothered. I personally like 'Utena', but understand wh...

Is it Reading Week or something? Is that why nothing happened?

I thought as much. He's really quite camp, isn't he? ;) Actually, having seen only 13 episodes, I don't really like Trigun. Too lighthearted for me, and Vash is too silly most of the time. But one of my friends assures me that it gets better in the second half. In fact, he says it's one of his favou...

*nodding* Ah soo desu... Well, I have compiled the opinions of my friends and it seems that everyone is in favour of me going to Anime USA rather than go to an Otakon Staff meeting. And my friend and her sister have confirmed their intention to be at the con, therefore it's cemented my presence at t...

If I was still in London, I would be. I went to a few meetings, but they really were not showing stuff I was really interested in seeing. Had I been more socially involved with the people there, perhaps I would have gone more frequently. I borrowed some of their videos - their lending library is lar...

This situation just came up, and I don't know what to do. And I thought I'd add some intrigue (or something) to the BBS. ^_^ Okay, as some of you know, I'm on staff at Otakon. I'm second-in-command of the Press/Publicity department (there are 4 of us total). My boss, the Dept Head, wanted to have a ...

[DiGi Charat] Waaii! I can't believe people actually listened to me, nyo! I feel special, nyo! =^_^= [/DiGi Charat] Ahem. Does this mean I actually made sense? ^_^; Well, anyways, good luck on your new position, Thalia. And you as well, Dee. ^_^ [hr]samus -- [s] "If people who do not understand each...

I don’t know why I care, as I’m not even in St. Andrews, but I do. ^_^ I can only guess the identities of some of the committee members on the board, from their handles, and how they comport themselves on the BBS. The others, I don’t have a clue. It occurred to me that perhaps others who are posting...

This sounds suspisciously like the second OAV of Rurouni Kenshin. It takes place after the TV series has finished. The first OAV, which was utterly brilliant, takes place before the TV series, when Kenshin was still Batoussai. In this OAV, Kenshin acquires the scar. [hr]samus -- [s] "If people who d...
