I finally made the Jump to Live Journal
*my new journal*

It just seemed appropriate since most of my friends are on there. I also don't play with the layout as much as I used too.
I still might post here occasionally though.
Bye bye for now!

More good new for Mega Tokyo..

"Megatokyo Graphic Novel Coming from Dark Horse in January


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following rumors earlier this summer that Dark Horse had signed with Megatokyo to print volume two of the popular web-comic (Official reports are that at the time, the two parties were merely discussing the possibility), Dark Horse has officially announced today in a Press Release that Megatokyo volume two will ship from Dark Horse in January.

Anyone who pre-ordered the unpublished book two from IC Entertainment will receive a copy from Dark Horse when it is released.

Additionally, re-prints of Megatokyo Volume 1, should also be available from Dark Horse sometime in the Spring of 2004, after volume 2. The re-prints will feature some changes and additions over the I.C Entertainment print.

Regarding Warmth, Fred Gallagher has informed us that, "they've expressed an interest in it, but I want to get MT settled and in print first before I move on to that. It's really the start of our working relationship, which I think will be a really good one.""


Wow, things seem to keep getting better for this guy. That would be really cool if Dark Horse published "warmth". I post this partly becuase my teacher asked us to write an esay on 'someone who has made an impact on your life' I'm wrteing about Fread, becuase I many ways he's an idol of mine. I always pick off beat chracters to worship. First it was Ray park, now Fred. dear me.....

well, I am now officially a member of the "cell phone" crowd. A crowd which I never thought I'd be a part of, oh well. I bought myself a new cell phone! and I love it to death. My old one worked, but it was just a piece of junk. It has almost zero features on it. My new one is a flip phone, with a color screen, and those awesome ring tones. I've already bought 3 new ones. My main ringer is on "I think I'm turning Japanese." Anyone who knows me will understand why. Then I have a Smash Mouth song, "I can't get enough of you baby" because it sounds so hip. Then for extra fun I have the Futurama them song.
the funny part is with all these cool ring tones, I almost don't want to answer the phone. LOL.

I thought I'd take a break from my homework to tell ya how college is going.
First of all, I was in almost complete denial and I was just walking from class buying books not really understanding my purpose. Then it hit me as soon as my English teacher began to talking about how difficult this class was going to be and the dedication it would need. It was at that moment my eyes bugged out and I started to hyper ventilate. I am a college student. That means I can't pull the same shit I had all though high school.
It's safe to say I didn't work all that hard in high school. senior year would be a perfect example. I know now, that lazy attitude of mine has to disappear. I can already tell it's going to be a bumpy road.

Well, tomorrow is the big day.
I start college tomorrow. Kinda scary, kinda exciting.
for the most part I'm nervous. But that's how I always feel when I'm starting something new. All I can hope for is tonight I get a good night sleep, hopefully nightmare free as well. Most of all that I get good teachers, who at lest make class interesting. I also hope I don't get lost or anything.
if I'm not to overwhelmed I'll write about it all tomorrow. Wish me luck!

ok, since i don't have anything meaningful to write about,
I'll write about anime

Remember this is all just my opinion, it means nothing.

So, about Chobits. I got to episode 15 and they finally cover Shimbo's relationship with his teacher. I mean, I was happy to see they haven't completely ignored it, but why did they wait this long? This is when I frustrated with anime. I just can't stand when they screw with a stories time line.
A manga works more like a book. Duh. Since we can separate things by chapters there can be a few plot lines going at once. That makes things more interesting. Typically when I see manga translated into anime, they have to chop it up, and lengthen segments out to make complete episodes. I don't know if they do this to make the series longer, or that they think the audience can only fallow one story at a time. Anyway, this chopping and segmenting creates a lot of dull space. By "dull space" i mean pointless scenes that do nothing for the characters or the plot. It's fluff, al just fluff sometimes fluff can be good, but most of the time it's just a lame attempt to make things interesting.

Now, There are example of anime that are based on manga that I love. As far as I have read of the manga, Kare Kano made an almost perfect translation onto the screen. It felt like I was almost watching manga. So, I know it can be done. I'm not sure why certain company's feel the need to expand an anime with pointless episodes. I think it's just a waste of time and money, when they should just focus on the important stuff, and spend more time on that. X has a similar problem to Chobits. I agree that X/1999 is a complicated story with to many character for it's own good. But I didn't see the reason why they had to create a back-story for almost every signal one. I felt it delayed to story line, and didn't help in clarifying anything. And once again, they do thing out of order and add pointless things in. My favorite example is Katori's obsession with Indigo. Who cares?

Anyway, it's not like I know anything about making anime, I just like pointing out things that anoy me.
