...so I caved and went and ordered a subscription to Dragon Magazine, aka the Japanese anthology that series like Slayers, Full Metal Panic, and Legend of the Legendary Heroes run in. My excuse/justification is that surely it wouldn't be such a terrible thing to have a magazine full of Japanese light novel chapters to practice reading every other ( Read more... )

Also, why is Cartoon Network playing live action shows now? Stupid network decisions EVERYWHERE.
...I don't even know.
Ranks up with the stupidity of SciFi deciding to distance itself from science fiction ( Read more... )

If you haven't seen Legend of the Legendary Heroes yet, you really ought to start watching. Why? Well, I'll let the new op speak for itself....Really though it's a GREAT series if you like fantasy, and really just keeps getting better. The second half especially starts diving deeper and deeper into the layers of plot, though there's certainly ( Read more... )

Is it just me, or do people have no sense of etiquette when it comes to things like, say, escalators? That is, it's a pretty straightfoward thing- if you're just going to stand on the escalator, you stand to the side so other people can pass you! Ideally to the right, so that everyone's standing to the same side, but if you happen to stand on the ( Read more... )

I was thinking earlier about how, much as I enjoy playing out fights in RPs (as anyone who's played/talked with me would know), some threads are invariably far superior to others. And I don't just mean in terms of how impressive or flashy the characters are, but both in the sense of how fun it was to play at the time, and how fun it is to go back ( Read more... )

SO. I am officially going to Japan for about a week in a few months. :D Just in time for winter Comiket, even. :D :D

Full opening theme from The Legend of the Legendary Heroes. Kanji, romaji, and English translation; I may attempt doing a singable English version of the lyrics sometime, too.

So, it's looking like I'll be in MI for a few days in August! The current plan is to crash at aoe_knight's place for a day or two, and probably go hang out with ysadrel at some point as well, but beyond that, well, if there's anyone else in the area who'd want to do something, lemme know. I'll only be there for about two days at most, but might as well fit as ( Read more... )
