I don'y like their music at all. It is ok at first, but they are overplayed a lot. They got real annoying real quick. I just don't like them.

Writing Original "anime-esque" fiction [Mature for language and violence]
Japan replied to Syk3's topic in Creative Works
Ooh!!! Very good Syk3, very good! I am glad that I inspired you. I like it. It has a lot of action which is what I like. A very good read. It was very well done...so far. Anywho, I can't wait for the next part. -
Hey everyone! Japan_86 here. I wrote another fanfic. My second one in fact. There is one thing you should know. Practically all of the characters are members here at OB. They are as follows: Charles, Chris, James, Sara, Shy-Josh, Syk3-Greg, Adam, Lady Maciadoh-Debbie, and Neoclone-7-Colin. Their actual names and characteristics are true.... Hope you enjoy!!!!! [i]"Hi, my name is Chris. I am 21 years old. I am tall with brown hair and blue eyes. As you can see, I am a skateboarder. I got accepted to a college here in LA, so did my best friends James and Charles. We share an apartment. I am mostly into winning skateboard competions and paying attention to my girlfriend, Kayla, whom I met in a bar a couple months ago. Kayla is a beautiful Blonde with almond shaped green eyes. Both Charles and James have brown hair and brown eyes. Though Charles is more into video games and James is more into making websites. Charles and James skateboard too, though not as serious as I. Little did I know it, my life was about to change." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hey Chris get of the phone! There's something you gotta see!" said Charles in an excited voice. "Come on! You can call Kayla back!" "Alright!" said Chris, he returned to talking into the reciever. "Sorry Kayla, I have to get off the phone and see what Charles wants...but it will only be a minute...come on Kayla, I'll call you right back...I promise.. love you to, bye." Chris hurried downstairs into the living where Charles was standing impatiently. "Look at this! A skateboarding competion this weekand. You should enter, and look at the prize you get in first place. They get $5000 dollar check and a Sponsership from Billabong." "Sweet!" said Chris, "That would be awesome! I am going to call Kayla back and tell her the news." She wasn't as excited as Chris thought she would be. "You're going to enter a what kind of competion? I won't stand for it. I thought that we agreed that you would take me out to dinner and a movie. Oh, and not to mention helping me shop for a new pair of shoes." "But, I can help you with that after, or before." "No! What am I going to do all weekand? Just sit around and be lonely?" "You can come watch..." "I don't want to watch some silly competion. I don't want to get sunburned." "How about you go to the mall with your friend Sara? Go shoe shopping or something. You'll enjoy that." "Oh fine, but I have to go. I don't want to be late for my hair appointment. See you later honey." "bye." Chris hung up the phone and threw it on his dresser. He plopped down on his bed and closed his eyes. Someone knocked on the door. "Who is it?" asked Chris. "James," replied the voice on the other side of the door. "Come in," responded Chris. Chris got up and was now sitting on the edge of his bed when James opened the door. "Where is the cd case? I want to listen to some music while I work on my website." "Over there in the chair in that corner." Chris pointed to the chair that he was talking about. "Thanks!" replied James as he went out into the hall and closed the door. Chris laid back down and fell asleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris went downtown to sign up for the competion the following day after his classes. There was many people in line. It was about a half hour until Chris got to the front of it. There was a yonug woman with long beautiful red hair with green eyes. On the name tag that was pinned on her chest was the name Debbie. "Your name please," said the woman. "Chris" "Age?" "21" "Skateboard or vert?" "Vert please..." "Alright, you will compete 10 AM this Saturday. Good Luck!" "Thanks" Chris walked away with a big grin on his face. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later that night, Chris, Charles, and James were taking turns skateboarding on the halfpipe at the skatepark five minutes from the apartment. Chris was trying to do the 900 for the competion Saturday. He kept on falling. Charles was drinking from his water bottle at the top of the ramp. James was just watching Chris fall on his back, knees head and feet. Finally Chris took a break after wiping out trying to do the new trick for the fiftieth time in a row. "I'll never get this trick in time for the competion!" Charles looked up from his water and said, "I hope you finally figure it out." "Yeah," added James, "It will be pretty hard to win the competion without it." "That's why it is important that I can be abled to do this trick . Otherwise, I can just lose this competion and forget about ever turning pro." Chris took a deep breath and drank some of the water front his bottle. Charles and James went into the halfpipe and started taking turns doing grinds and nose grabs. After an hour, Charles and James walked back to the apartment. Chris stayed behind to work on the 900 some more. He almost got it, but there was something missing. He couldn't figure out what though. It started to get dark, so he picked up his skateboard and waterbottle and walked back home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was now Thursday morning . Chris was getting nervous. He had less than 2 days to be abled to do the 900 trick for the competition. Kayla and his Professors weren't making it any easier. She kept on bothering Chris about not getting much attention, and Chris' professors at the college were piling up the papers that he had to write by Tuesday. Right after his classes though, Chris grabbed his skateboard and was back at the halfpipe. He wasn't any closer than he was before. He kept on wiping out. About 2 hours later, he went home. He was very sore. His back hurt and his knees were numb. When he got back, he found James and Charles playing the Nintendo 64. They were playing the racing game Mario Kart 64. James was racing Mario and Charles was racing Luigi. So far, James was winning. There was pepperoni pizza on the table in the kitchen along with a 24 can pack of Pepsi. Chris helped himself to a couple aof slices and a Pepsi out of the box. He walked out into the living room and sat in the recliner behind where James and Charles were in bean bag chairs. Chris started to eat his pizza and watched them play. "Yes!" exclaimed James. "I won!" "Yeah so you were just lucky," said Charles who was now pouting, "2 out of 3?" "Sure," replied James. He looked up and saw Chris in the recliner slowly eating the pizza, and every now and then, drink from his can of soda. "Let me guess, no luck with the trick?" "Nope," said Chris gloomily, "I keep falling and I don't know what I am doing wrong." Maybe it is the distance you put yourself from the board," said Charles taking a break to take a bite of pizza. "Hey," said Chris, maybe you are on to something." He ran out the door and hurried back to the skate park with his skateboard in hand. He ran up the steps of the half pipe. It was starting to get dark, but Chris didn't care. He put on his gear and slowly went to the edge. He gave out a long sigh and dropped in. Chris started to gain the speed he needed . When he was ready, he brought his torso closer to the board, and executed the trick that gave him so much trouble. He landed perfectly. "Yeah!!" exclaimed Chris, "WooHoo!!!!! I did it! Chris jumped off his skateboard and jumped up in the air in triumph."I am so going to win this competion." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saturday morning finally came. Chris was very confident, but still very nervous. Three voices could be heard over the loud speaker. "Hi I am Josh," said the first voice. "I'm Greg,"said the deep second voice. "And I'm Adam," said the third voice, "We are your announcers today and we would like to welcome you to this years vert and skatepark competion." "Yes," said Greg, "And boy, I have never seen such a bigger crowd than this. It is one of the biggest I've seen in years." "There are also a good prize of $5000 check and a sponsership from Billabong. I wish the competitors luck." added Josh. "I would also like to tell you about our sponsers for this event," said Adam, "It is brought to you by Gatorade, the Thirst Quencher, and Right Guard." The first guy to go on the half pipe for the competion was a guy named Carlos Martinez. He did a nose grind, a 720 and a bunch of other tricks. He ended up getting the score 87.5 after the first his first round. Chris was next. He walked quickly to up the half pipe. He went to edge. He was ready. The horn blew, and he dropped in. Chris did a 720, a tail grind, 360, a nose grab and a few others. The horn blew again. Round 1 for Chris was over. He stepped back on the platform on the top of the half pipe where he had started. He looked impatiently up at the scoreboard for his score to show up. Sweat dripped down his face. 92.8 Relief came over his face. He was currently in first palce. Seven other people went. Thanks to the guy, Colin Jones, Chris was bumped back second place. Colin got the score 95. The second and final round had now started. Carlos Martinez fell trying to do a 360. Colin Jones go another outstanding score. His final score was a clean 97. The rest of the contestants couldn't even match even close to Colin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ James and Charles were on their skateboards hurrying to see Chris in the competition. They were late. James stopped abruptly. Charles stopped not far behind. "Why did you stop?" asked Charles. "Look!" whispered James, "Isn't that Kayla that just walked into that cafe?" "I think it is, let's go see, " said Charles. They walked quietly over and peered through the window. It was Kayla. She was making out with this other guy. Chris saw James and and Charles running towards the halfpipe. Chris thought that they could wait. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was now Chris' last chance to get first place. He moved to the edge of the halfpipe, his heart beating madly. The horn blew. He skated on the ramp. He had thrity seconds to do some tricks and the legendary 900. He moved smoothly doing a 720, 360, nose grind, and hand grab. "Looks like Chris is gaining speed," commented Greg. "I wonder what he is planning on doing," added Adam Chris finally gained the speed he needed. He brought his body closer to his board, and started to turn. He did the 900 with such grace. Now all he needed to do was land, and land he did. "That was so sick!"yelled Josh, "Amazing! Chris, at his first major skate competition, did the 900. Chris jumped up at the side of the ramp. He lifted his board over his head full of triumph. The announcers were yelling with excitement, and the huge crowd was cheering madly. Charles and James ran up the steps to where Chris was standing.They were both out of breath. Charles was the first to speak. "Chris...Kayla...we...saw her cheating." "Yeah, added James, "We saw her making out with this one other guy just now. "Oh, she is going to get it!" said a really mad Chris.Charles, Chris, and James walked down the steps back onto the ground . Chris was given the $5000 check and a gold medal. Colin was given siler and Carlos, despite his fall, was given the bronze. Kayla came up to Chris all innocently. Apparently her make out session in the cafe was over. "Oh Chris!" said Kayla excitedly while kissing him on the cheek. "Get off me!" said Chris while looking at her with cold eyes. "It's over! I never want to see you again. You cheated on me." "What!?! How did you know?" "My friend James and Charles saw you. Good bye!" She stampered off very displeased with herself. The lady who asked Chris for his sign up information walked up to him. She was wearing a black sundress. Her red hair shined a magnificent glow in the sunlight. She was holding a clip board in her left arm. "Hello Chris. Let me introduse myself. My name is Debbie and I am a representitve for the skateboarding gear company, Billabong." "Hi!" responded Chris nervously. "Billabong would be honored for you to join the people we sponser." "Sure I'll join, thanks," said Chris. James and Charles walked over to the Hot Dog stand to get something to eat. Chris and Debbie were now alone. Chris blurted out before he could stop himself. Would you be interested in going to dinner or a movie sometime?" "Sure!" replied Debbie, "I would love to." Chris sighed with relief. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am so very happy now. Well there is that issue of Kayla cheating on me, but oh well, she was a bit over demanding. Anyways, I am now a pro skater and I earned a bit more cash. Another year of college paid for. Debbie wnt out on a date two nights ago. We had a blast! We went to a fancy resturant and then to a late night movie. As for James and Charles, James now has a very popular message board that has over 5000 members, and Charles helps him out by being second in command. Well, I better get going. I am competeing in the X Games and I am next. So see you around .[/i] ~*The End*~

[COLOR=darkblue]I don't really like to stero type me either. If you do sterotype me there are many things that people call me and have called me in the past: [b]Depressed Chic[/b]- My freshman year, I was always depressed because I didn't have many friends and when I tried to fit in with the Drama crowd, they ignored me and that was why I was always so down in the dumps. [b]Quiet/Shy Girl[/b]- When I was depressed, or with a group of people I don't know, I am really quiet and shy. [b]Crazy/Hyper[/b]- I am like this online a lot and when I hang out with my friends [b]Punk wannabe[/b]- The title says it for itself... I have a lot of punk friends. [b]Brainiac/nice girl[/b]- I am really smart and nice People call me the last four because I am no longer depressed, or so it seems...anyways, those are the sterotypes that people give me...some are annoying, but I am getting used to it.

I thought is was ok. I thought it was a little lame some parts though. My friend let me borrow the first 2 manga. It was cool some parts too. My favorite characters are Kish and Ryou. Even though it isn't my favorite, I still think that it is funny...

here is another. It is the top of my school binder. The colored pictures are the ones I drew.

Here are one of my drawings. It is of Chi and Black Chi from Chobits. If you want more, please reply.

This is a month after the fall of Naraku. Scene: Kagome's Living room. [i] "Do you know where Kagome is?" asked Kagome's mom. "She went to Fuedal Japan," replied Kagome's grandpa. "Again!?! That girl!! Even though she collected all of the jewel shards, and defeated Naraku, she is still spending a lot of time there. She is goin to miss more school." "There is nothing we can do, we can't go get her." "I just wish that she would pay more attention to her studies. That's all." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile in Fuedal Japan, Kagome and Inuyasha are walking along in the forest with Miroku, Sango, and Shippo sneaking behind trees listening intentively. "Inuyasha, I was wondering, is a full moon tonight?" asked Kagome. "Yes!" spat Inuyasha. Kagome, who knew Inuyasha well enough, knew not to be bothered by his attitude of being half demon, said, "Well, I was wondering if you would like to come to my world and do something." "I guess so, but if I don't like it, I am leaving." "Fine!" Meanwhile in the bushes nearby, Shippo was talking to Sango and Miroku. "Did you hear what they said, their going to do something in Kagome's world." Miroku put on his serious face and said,"Maybe they want to make a child." POW!! Right when Miroku said that, Sango punched him in the back of the head. "You pervert!!!" Miroku fell backwards and Sango ans Shippo chatted excitedly about what Kagome and Inuyasha would do in Kagome's world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That night, Inuyasha transformed into a human, and he and Kagome made their way to the well. They jumped in to it and out into Kagome's world. They went into her house and up to her room. It was still day light outside. Kagome checked the time on her new clock, 4 PM. Inuyasha was the first to break the siliece. "So Kagome, what are we going to do?" "I was thinking of going out to dinner. So, how about it? "Diner sounds good." "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You need to change before we go anywhere." "Change!?!" "Yes, change. Here, this used to belong to my dad, but I think that they will fit you. I will step outside so you can change." Kagome closed the door. What she had given him were baggy jeans and a black Tokyopop t-shirt. He took of his clothes and threw them on Kagome's bed along with the Tesiaga. He put the strange clothes on. Kagome yelled through her bedromm door. "Are you finished yet Inuyasha?" "Yeah!" Kagome opened the door and looked at Inuyasha. "You look nice." "I do?" "Yes" They walked down the stairs. Kagome's mom stopped them in the hall right when they were about to go out the door. "Kagome, you need to study and stop spending som much time in Fudeal Japan. Now I want..." Her voice trailed off when she spotted Inuyasha behind Kagome. "Now, who is thisthat was in your room?" Kagome responded, "Inuyasha." "How can that be Inuyasha? I don't see white hair or dog ears." "I'll explain later mom. We're going out to dinner." "So that explains the clothes that Inuyasha is wearing. Alright have fun, but I want you to study for an hour after you get back." "Ok" They went to the front door. Kagome gave Inuyasha a pair a shoes, while she put on hers. Inuyasha looked clueless. "Here, I'll help you," said Kagome taking the shoes out of Inuyasha's hands and helped him put them on. They finally made their way out of the door and towards the train station. They went on the next available train downtown. Inuyasha looked kind of scared. That's right thought Kagome, he's never been on a train before. "Don't worry Inuyasha, this isn't scary." "Who said I was scared?" snapped Inuyasha. Several people were staring at Inuyasha thinking that he was weird. The train gave a jolt and started to make its way downtown. Inuyasha was amazed that the outside was moving so fast. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They walked down the steps of the train station. There were so many people and moving cars. Some girls laughed as they passed by. Three girls walked up to Kagome and Inuyasha. They were Kagome's friends. They were surprised to see Kagome for she is always gone. "Kagome!" all 3 girls exclaimed. "Hey guys, what's up?" "Nothing really, except that your guy started to date another girl because were always sick and turning down dates..Wit who is this guy?" asked the first girl. They finally noticed Inuyasha who was blushing cherry red. "oh, this is Inuyasha, Inuyasha, these are my friends," said Kagome. Big Grins started to show on each of the friends faces. "So this is the guy you are always talking and thinking about," said the 2nd girl. It was Kagome's turn to blush. She looked at Inuyasha who was blushing even more. "Um, well, we better get going," said Kagome who was at this point, just as red as Inuyasha. "Alright then!" said the third, "Have fun on your date." Ack! thought Inuyasha. Did that girl just say date? What is this about Kagome talking and thinking about me all the time? She never told me that when we confessed our love to eachother. They continued down the street to a burger fastfood resteraunt. They walked in and Kagome found a seat. She told Inuyasha to stay there while she got the food. 5 minutes later she came back with 2 sodas, fries, and cheese burgers. Inuyasha was hungry, but he had no clue what Kagome brought him. Kagome unrapped her cheeseburger and bit in. Inuyasha cautiously followed suit. When he bit in, he was so relieved and exclaimed, "This is good!" "I know." "Um, what were your friends talking about? " " What do you mean?" "About your guy and you always talking and thinking about me." "Oh, that guy that they were talking about was the guy that they've been nagging about, and wanting me to date him. I also never stopped thining or talking about you." "How about now?" "I still do..." This answer relieved Inuyasha. They finished their dinner and made their way back to the train station, and back to Kagome's house at the family shrine. They opened the door and went inside. They took their shoes off and went upstairs. Kagome let Inuyasha change back to his clothes. "I'm finished," he said. Kagome walked in. Inuyasha took his testiga and put it back into his belt. His hair started to change back to the color white. He was back to his demon self. "Inuyasha, do you want to go back to your world now?" asked Kagome, "I have to study for an hour." "Yeah sure, but after you study, will you come back?" "Yes." "Alright," said Inuyasha. The next thing that happened, happened so, but it felt like it was forever. Inuyasha and Kagome were in eachothers arms kissing. They finally parted. Both Kagome and Inuyasha were blushing. Kagome was light headed, but happy. Inuyasha was very happy too. Inuyasha opened the screen door and stepped outside. Kagome watched him disappear into the shadow of the night. He... he...kissed me! thought Kagome as she slumped into her chair at her desk to study. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inuyasha jumped out of the well into the Fuedal Japan side. Shippo was right next to it. He was surprised that Inuyasha jumped out of the well so quickly. "Inuyasha!" said Shippo, "Don't scare me like that!" "Me!?!" said Inuyasha, picking up Shippo by the tail, "What do you think you are doing here by the well? Trying to see if you could attack me once I got back?" "No, no!" replied Shippo, "I just wanted to know what you and Kagome and you were up too." Inuyasha smelled the air and turned to look at the a bush nearby. "It is none of your business!" He threw Shippo into the same bushes that he was looking at earlier. Sango and Miroku spilled out behind it. Inuyasha looked up into the sky. "Can't I ever get any privicy around here!!!!!"[/i]

I've only saw one episode. I watched last night on the action channel. It was a bit strange. I thought that it was funny though. I just didn't really get it. The show is still good though. By the way, who is that one guy that has blades pop out of of his arms, and what is he?

I own some of the manga, I think that it is very good. What do you guys think? Is the anime just as good as the manga?

Anime (US/CAN) General thoughts and ratings for .hack//SIGN 25, "Catastrophe"
Japan replied to Shy's topic in Otaku Central
[b]8.5/10[/b] I thought that it was slow at first, but it got better every minute. Maha died!!!! T_T I miss Maha! That was very sad. I thought that BT was a bit sneaky in this episode. She was mean. Sora killed her HaHa!!! As for the Crim vs. Sora fight. I was on the edge of my seat! I like both Crim and Sora very much. The drawing of Crim's eyes and hair was exceptionally good! Sora just as funny. I liked sort of how Crim made fun of Sora. Crim won the the fight...Sora didn't die! It works well both ways. Tsukasa finally used some magic...amazing! I thought that I would never see the day! Though that isn't attacking per say, it still is an improvement. Morganna was mad....oh boy...I think I won't get to deep with her at the moment. Oh, and the very end of the episode was a bit on the scary side, with Tsukasa, Subaru, and Mimiru goig through that mysterious gate I mean. Crim not really being upset that Subaru let made me kind of mad. This episode was still pretty good though. -
[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by AkumaAoshi [/i] [B]All I have to say about Chobits is that 1) people under the age of 12 should NOT read it. 2) It's full of nakee people!! 3) It's just plain nasty and perverted. 4) But if you like it, rent or buy GolGo 13!! NAKEE!!!!! [/B][/QUOTE] I disagree with 2 and 3. I have read 1-6 of the manga and it is not full of naked people! Persocoms are human shaped computers, yeah there are guy ones too...plus little plushie doll ones. Anyways, I bet you know about the trash thing pretty well by now. It is pretty much about Chi finding out about her past, and finding her and Hideki's true feelings toward eachother. Yes, it is a bit on the mature side with some nudity and language, but it is very funny at times. I most certainly recommend it to anyone!

Oh this is hard! I like a lot!! I guess I'll pick Kamui from "X." He is just awesome and I love his English and Japanese voice.

I change my answer....the last movie that made me shed one tear was the movie, "Black Hawk Down." It was gory, but sad for those few American soldiers that died.

There is one song that fits me perfectly is none other than "Adam's Song" from Blink-182. That fit my personality and what was going on in the world around me.

I had a few teachers that weren't necessarly bad, but they were very annoyiing. My Spanish teacher was so preppy. I refused to take another Spanish class after that. Then there were two English teachers. One was a group work fanatic and the the other was a homework fanatic who loved giving out loads of homework.
