I recieved this link from one of my friends and followed it. You should do so
too! It gives you the opportunity to create adorable anime avatars. Appears to
be the English version of a Japanese based website. Have fun!
I've made so many already and sent the link to all my friends. :P
They shouldn't have put it there no matter what. Honestly, did they think no one
was ever going to mod it? What was the purpose of leaving it in - especially if
they KNEW they left it in? The game is controversial enough as it is. Puh maybe
they wanted the publicity. "Any publicity is good publicity."
Quote by DarkIngramYOUR lucky in
having that kind of hair
color!!!
Quote by meiohsetsunaPurple for me,
hands down! I have an
obsession with the color!
Hmm.. my hair is purple right now... does that make me an anime char
already??
I just love the color.. love to dye my hair purple..
I consider myself a spiritualist. I've had people call me athiest because I
don't believe in God, but thats wrong because I believe in something. I always
say I don't know what it is, but it's there and I know its there. ^^;; Oh and I
bellieve in reincarnation. I kinda blend lotsa religious ideas, the ones that
make the most sense to me.
Religions like Christianity are more of a philosophy to me. Good ideas and
guidelines to live by, but totally corrupted when they are brought into a power
setting.
I have no idea. My first guess was the mention of Ichigo's hair. He said people
always picked on his because of his hair, so I guess that meant he was just
special. What else could be special besides being a Shinigami?
Then of course the author could have no idea what bleach means. Sometimes
Japanese ppl use english words cuz they 'sound good'. But I would imagine he
would look it up in the dictionary and see that the meaning of bleach is "
to make white or colorless" (dictionary.com). So yah it could very well be
a metaphor for the job of soul purifying.
Or maybe, after all, the author himself didn't know what to call the show. He
wanted to make it stand out because he had an awesome idea planned and he wanted
it to last. So he thought up a bizarre name. People are more likely to go,
"Hey what's that manga about?" when its got a weird title. And then
you keep reading to find out why. Just like we keep watching in hopes of finding
a reason why.
Wow I wrote a whole paper on this topic for my final this last semester. I
thought it was a good one actually... (^^;;) I learned about how cartoons got
their start, and that they were never intended for children to begin with. And
even now they still aren't. So I suppose if you wanna read a bit of history and
shove it in someone's face and say, "It's all Hanna-Barbera's fault that
you believe that!" then by all means read my article. :P
I've had my share of blunders. Like the last time I made Banana Bread... I told
my boyfriend "Ok _I'm_ done" and i hadn't put flour and something else
in just yet.. he thought I was done, and I meant to say I'm too tired/lazy to
finish it, you do it! SO he put it in the oven and it turned out interesting...
Then there was the time i made nikujaga (meat and potatoes stew japanese style)
and I thought the recipie said 5cups of shoyu (soy sauce) and I thought,
"Hey that's goota be too much.. I'll just do half that.." Hehe well
cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons are all different... hehe.. ^^;; I'm such a
dunce that I read CUPS when it was tablespoons! Yes I am a spaz case...
But actually despite my occasional blunders I tend to make good desserts... and
I make some tasty curry! My boyfriend does more cooking than I do, but when I
actually cook something he gobbles it up so fast I can barely hear him say
"fankju" between his mouthfulls.
Oh, and the secret to my awesomeness tasting brownies is to add a bit of vanilla
extract when mixing. ^_^
I'd love to but its summer so I know I am lazy and my schedule is unpredictable.
Even during school its unpredticable. Ahh I wish I had all the time in the
world.. I actually played with a subtitling program on my own and discovered it
is quite time consuming, especially if you have to do the translations
yourself... o.O
I first got into DAI when Inuyasha used their song Fukai Mori as an ending
theme. Then I did more digging up on and them and discovered they are cool. I
actually haven't heard any new stuff from them for a while. Shame.. they are so
good! Their music videos are always artistic.
I'm a girl so I'm gonna answer the question more like "Do you prefer
shorter or taller guys?"
My current boyfriend is maybe 2 inches taller than me at the moment. It feels
like we are at the same height. I am comfortable with being almost the same
height. I did once date a guy who I was about half an inch taller than and I
didn't find a problem with it but he seemed to prefer tall girls. But
what I do feel bad about was this guy whom I would always tell him, "You
are so cute! I would so date you if you were taller!" He was like 5'0"
and I'm almost 5'8". When I think about it that was a mean thing to say and
I was blinded by the height issue. Maybe we would have dated if I hadn't have
kept saying that, and I knew him to be a really cool guy. I find myself
attracted to taller men or men of the same height, and I think its some
psychological thing we have ingrained in us. That the man has to be the
protector or something, so he has to look like he can protect me. In no way do I
honestly believe that still stands, I'm just saying it might be something that's
been ingrained in our skulls since hunter/gather days when women did all the
work and all the man had to do was offer protection. It's
too bad I didn't take a chance on a shorter man. If there is ever a next time I
hope I won't be blinded like that.
Haha! I thought that this was some kind of commercial when I read the topic..
"Smooth hair... how do you do it?" I almost expected to see some
endorsement for shampoo/conditioners.
Guess I should pay more attention to where the topic was posted.
At that age I wanted to die, and I at one point attempted to take my own life.
My opinion about death hasn't changed at all, I just know now that other people
want me around a bit longer. I'm a firm believer in reincarnation and when
someone dies young like that it was kind of a fate thing, and its not something
to be sad of really. While it may seem like a ridiculous way to die, I think it
happened for a reason. Some lesson to be learned perhaps, or a lesson already
learned, or his soul sacrificing for the good of others. We may not see it
now... but say that this young man who dies so akwardly somehow touches
someone's heart and then they do something that sets in motion a movement. It
doesn't have to be a huge movement (and not necessarily physical), but if it
taught someone the value of life better then his death was not in vain. Often
times I think that the young ones who die are actually older, more experienced
souls and that is why they die younger. Because they are serving the purpose of
teaching someone else a life lesson. That's what I think its about, each life we
try to overcome obstacles and become stronger souls. I am not a firm believer in
God, but I think its still possible to believe in God and reincarnation theories
at the same time. If you're interested in reincarnation theories I would suggest
the books "The Case of Bridey Murphy" and "Many Lives, Many
Masters." Both are based on hypnosis sessions that actually occured. In one
of the books the hypnotist 'discovers' that his infant son died shortly after
childbirth because it set into motion a different path for him, one that he
needed to follow. So basically it hints that if his son did not sacrifice his
soul then his father would never have been able to learn an important lesson he
needed. Seems farfetched to the nonbelievers, I know.
This is the basis as to why I don't always cry my heart out when I hear about
these instances. Yes I get sad and cry about it, I think that its a human
reaction to feel such compassion, and yes I am saddened to hear of this story.
But after the tears dry I think about it this way, to give that person's death a
greater meaning. I cried when reading stories about the tsunami. Rather than
thinking they died in vain, I'd like to think that some greater force had
planned it and that its not the end for those souls. Because I believe in
reincarnation I know that they will be back on earth someday.
Man I must sound like an idiot.. I normally don't tell people these thoughts I
have because most people around me have highly Christian beliefs so I don't want
to cause arguments... hope I didn't offend anyone...
Yep, definately want to go to Japan. In a roundabout way that's how I became
interested - via anime. Altho living in Hawaii has LOTS of Japanese
influences... so it wasn't just anime for me. I practically understand their
culture already. Af far as learning the language, been doing that for quite a
few years now... practice on your own if you can! I'm planning on going to Japan
next sumemr after I graduate college, (with a double major in Communication and
Japanese studies) no matter what!
Something funny I ran across the internet once described that there are 3 types
of ppl who typically try to learn Japanese. 1) the obsessive anime fan, writes
anime smilies on everything and speaks uber kawaii - very scary! 2) the person
with a japanese girlfriend/boyfriend/etc who likes to tell the teacher
"thats not what my girlfriend/etc says..." and 3) the deer in the
headlights... the person who doesn't really know how or why he/she got dropped
into the class, but there they are and there they struggle because they have no
clue about japanese! ^_^

I wrote a paper on this exact topic last semester for my final paper. Feel free to read it if you want a history of cartoons and anime!

A sex scene isn't exactly unused dialogue... its crossing the line and shouldn't have been developed...
They shouldn't have put it there no matter what. Honestly, did they think no one was ever going to mod it? What was the purpose of leaving it in - especially if they KNEW they left it in? The game is controversial enough as it is. Puh maybe they wanted the publicity. "Any publicity is good publicity."
Ahh when I was real young it was Mamoru from Sailor Moon. Then I used to have a thing for Tamahome in Fushigi Yuugi. ^_^
Hmm maybe now I'd like Ace from One Piece... he's hott. ^^;; Oh anyone who's hott.. Zoro is, Sanji too.. hmm.. Ichigo from Bleach..
Too many men to pick from! o.O
I just love the color.. love to dye my hair purple..
6th year at a university...
Purple for me, hands down! I have an obsession with the color!

"Sorry Mario, but our princess is in another castle!"
If that's not oldskool, I don't what is!
Chi looks way uber cute. Sakura is cute in that toothache way, it annoys you. Chi rox and wears these cute sexy Lolita outfits.
I'd dress us as Chi anyday, I know it would fulfill alot of men's fantasies. ^^

It's too good an ending to spoil by just explaining it all. :P
Just know that its a happy ever after, and you can sleep well at night!

I'd say officially it was SailorMoon... rahrah Sailor Moon!!!
Unofficially was like Transformers when I was a tiny wittle kid watching Saturday morning 'toons...
Only played FFX to be honest...
