Getting married online??? This feels so creepy. It almost feels as if you can also marry any character you like or play etc. and one step further you would not even need a real person but only your imagination. Whatever, but really dating with someone from OB may be nice since there are not many people around with the same obsession and/or not to see this as weird... Yet, never tried. indeed never even thought about it 'cause i have my little group of anime-lover friends that we often meet. Even if i date with one of them it will be only after spending some time in the real life environment...

I watched fruits basket 3 times already and i can still watch it. It gives me a warm feeling and makes me feel to try my best. Other than that gits:sac is another series i like to watch as well as its movie. I love the plot,and the evolving story, the philosophy behind and also the drawings are perfect. I like the way it makes my never-cartoon-watcher friends' faces turn into.. :) Whenever the movie ends they sit still thinking hard for some time with a conclusion that wow i don't want to watch any other anime for some time not to destroy this one's effect.

[quote name='Delta]Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series. ... [spoiler']killing off GITS:SAC's most lovable characters (the Tachikomas and Hideo Kuze including)[/spoiler][/quote] I know what you mean, with those are gone i felt really depressed, and i sort of half expected that they would come back in the movies somehow... :animesigh And for some reason i cried in fruits basket as well, when momiji-kun explained about his relationship with his mother. Indeed i cried in this part everytime i watched it. Also at samurai x, in trust and betrayal, i cried like crazy [spoiler]when tomoe died seeing kenshin like that[/spoiler].

I would want to be with shigure from furuba :) He is funny, carefree, seems to be lazy and a pervert. It would leave me no time to get bored i guess ehehe

I could not decide on the best part, but my favorites are definitely samurai x, ngevangelion and elfen lied. The reasons i think were already explained for samurai x and ngevangelion, but noone mentioned about elfen lied. Elfen lied's story feels so complete despite the fact that it was a 13 episode series. The characters are diverse and interesting each with a sort of tough childhood period. Questions about friendship, love, being a family fills the air while tons of blood spills around. Each episode is breathtaking, never slow, never too emotional. I especially loved the way they did not over-dramatized what happened to mayu. One of the best things was also they didnot make the main characters to be complete evil or saint-like. I would love it even more if the "bad" people of the story could be explained more (like how the son got those horn like things as lucy). The ending was one of expected and yet it was never boring and dissappointing.

Given the fact that my dreams are what keeps me on my feet in life, strong and determined, i would choose my dreams. But of course a part of it includes finding love and yet it is only a part and not the total picture. My dreams are only meaningful when i have my friends, family and someone special to share them with me. Love in that sense is not a must, but a companionship is what i require. Personally i do not believe in the "the one" search of other people, as i do not believe that there exists a such person. But to dream is to hope, and hopes make us go on...

I could not decide whether the paper is the technique or the weapon she uses, by she i mean yomiko readman from ROD (also with the codename the paper), she can use papers to protect, attack, fly and basically to do whatever she wants. Besides her knowledge given the amount of books she reads is terrific, which saves her life many times. So that's why i could not decide. Whatever, i believe paper is the best of all weapons i've watched so far (compared to katanas and such)

i think i would be kousaka from genshiken (The society for the study of modern visual culture). He is handsome, carefree, cheerful, honest (too honest i think: ) ) he has a wonderful room full of with games, mangas and animes and their posters and noone can beat him in the video games.

I should say pokemon was the cheesiest of all first it was far too long second it was sort of pointless third my little brother loved it so much that we used to watch it twice a day if we want to eat alltogether as a family both during breakfast and dinner god what a torture it was...

I would love to be ed from cowboy bebop He seems to be so free and happy all the time, lives in a world specific to him he is so good with computers plus he has a superb dog :)

My favorite character is daisuke niwa from dnangel as despite his age he has a mature side and he is so considerate, loving and thoughtful as well as being clumsy and a total disaster in his relationships with girls which makes him even cuter :)

I say metallica for this one. I keep listening to them for so long and still every time i hear their songs, i feel as as if i can listen to them till i die.

[B]Daddy[/B]: I think it would be so nice to have someone like kouta from elfen lied as father. He has such a gentle soul, protective and thoughtful and nice as well. [B]Mommy:[/B] It would be fun to have someone crazy, self-determined and successful at what she does so i say faye valentine from cowboy bebop. [B]Brother:[/B] Definately momiji from fruits basket. He is so cute, thoughtful and full of life. [B]Boyfriend:[/B] I think this is the most difficult part. If he was to be older i would choose niwa daisuke from DNAngel as despite his clumsy ways he is considerate, thoughtful, strong and so modest, but he is so young :animesigh While he is growing up, for the time being i think i will choose sesshoumaru from inuyasha :D he is really strong, he seems not to care about anything else than his wishes but that is not true and he is really handsome [B]Pet:[/B] Blue from wolf's rain, she is considerate and protective over her owner and besides she is half wolf :)

I have this habit of watching an episode of any anime during breakfast in the mornings and if i cannot watch it i feel as if the day has not started and it does not matter if the anime is something i have already watched or not. Also i am addicted to tea and coffee, if i cannot drink tea right after the dinner i cannot sleep as i feel as if i can not digest any of the food i eat. Of course, internet.. if i pass even a day without looking at my mails or opening msn messenger i basically suffer. :animesigh

siren has a point, and i agree that retirement homes are not that bad. But for some reason elderly people have a tendency to think of them as some sorf of a jail. That is so wrong, most of the people that started to live there did not want to go back to living with their families later on, because of the friendships and the comfort they found there. One should make them understand that they are not thrown away once put in a retirement home, and they shall not be forgotten. Daily calls and weekly trips would make it sure, i believe. After seeing things in my family and hearing things from you guys i started to believe that when i age instead of living with my son or something, i should fix a nice place to stay. I don't want to be a burden on my family, i just want their love and respect and of course to see/feel that as well. I wonder old people get selfish without even realizing it ( by the way for your grandma i see that she was an expert to ruin things all the way long, so i was asking in general)

I used to watch sailor moon a lot and i must admit that i didnot have a favorite then. Yet, i should say sailor jupiter stands closer to being fav, because she can cook really very well and in an episode she was skating on ice so elegantly. :)

Well, after seeing my great-grandma (grandpa's mother) i understand what you mean perfectly. She was the perfect proof that mollier's plays can actually be true (both in terms of money and sickness :) ) But she was really old and i was really small so all her complaints and orders (bring me water, it is time for my pills, clean my glasses etc) used to make me feel as if she was born to torture me as all i wanted was her to shut up for a while (at least till thundercats or sesame street ended) But one day we got a telephone, and she was dead. Now more than 10 years have passed and i feel kind of ashamed for thinking like that, as i never listened to her, not even once. We lived together for some time and i knew nothing about her life, except for the fact that she refused to sell her house just because she knew how much we loved the mulberry and cherry trees in the garden. It is in our tradition to respect the elders as well, but holding yourself not to shout or speak badly is not respect, first you've got to try to understand each other and really try to talk. It is really hard as it feels as if different cultures are clashing, but now looking at my grand-parents i believe it's worth the effort. I should also add that no matter at what age a really sellfish person is forming a relationship with them is so hard and most of the time sort of a "waste of time" as it takes too much and gives too little. But family is family and you cannot throw them away. Empathy can work miracles sometimes though...

I have already known and loved in flames, but i haven't listened to the children of bodom until today (with the children of decadence this period is over :) ). I must admit i was surprised as i wasn't expecting something this good. Yet, i think it is too soon to switch the gears to CoB, so i say in flames..

Most wellcome :D Now thanks to you i know what kind of music i should be asking in the metal store next time i go there (it feels stupid without the subgenre names if you are not going directly to buy a specific group especially given the way mr-know-it-all in the store stares at you and talks sarcastically all the time-the conversation becomes really painful with such sentences like: you see i like sepultura and manowar very much but i am also looking for something like demons&wizards kind of stuff :animesigh well what do you suggest :P) Avant-Folk Metal,Gothic Metal,Scandinavian Style Death Metal and Symphonic Metal ( i think this list of sub-genres is the perfect evidence that i am growing old plus especially looking at the playlists of the last few months which is full of with blind guardian, apocalyptica and metallica :animeswea )

We create new terms,words etc to express something that we cannot express with our daily/regular vocabulary in general. If some people need to call names to some kind of things i believe it is because they feel like something is lacking under a more general definition/term. So it is quite understandable when i feel like evey kind of hip-hop sounds the same to me if i am not really interested in that kind of music.It only means "I" do not have any need to differentiate the genre into sub-genres. But even if i don't care i really do respect the people who do. By the way i think it is great to have such a deep knowledge so that relating every subgenres to a specific band :) -thanks to you i have new groups to listen to now jake of bodom :animesmil

I've never seen the manga but the anime despite the interesting plot bored me to death sometimes, especially the search for the underwear store, the never-ending monologues of hidaki and chi's irritating behaviours. And yet i could not just put the anime out of my reach of sight as well, because chi is really cute and the neighbour shinbo too. I am determined to watch the series as a whole but if it goes on like this it can take ages. Hope the anime gets better...For the manga i became really curious as how better it is..

I would definately date with Kouta from Elfen Lied, he is so considerate, nice and cute, never tries to take advantage of the girls he is surrounded with :) I would definately not date with Inuyasha, he is too rude, too full of with himself and he has already 2 women :)

[QUOTE=MommySkullFish]I know personally I am already getting my son into it, and he's 5. I think a lot of us will do that with our children, and therefore it will not die. [/QUOTE] Indeed thanks to my mom, now i am a fan of animes. we used to schedule our meals according to candy, clementine, voltron and so on. :animesmil we still watch movies like cowboy bebop, and miyazaki's together.

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal i can not think about any other anime that made me cry that way. [spoiler]The way tomoe dies is so awful i think, thinking that she betrays her love by falling in love with his killer unwillingly. She desperately tries to hate kenshin and cannot do so and even worse she falls for kenshin so that she could not follow her path of revenge. But i believe in the end she really took her revenge by making kenshin kill her. The never-healing scars in his face always remind him of his guilty conscience for taking pure souls. He fights his way to be able to accept and forgive himself, for this reason reminiscence is also so sad. [/spoiler]

[quote name='MommySkullFish'] I love to see the romance between Sakura and Syaoran evolving, and I like Syaoran's bravado in this series.[/quote] i must admit that during ccs i felt as if most of the time syaoran was something like an annoying mr. know-it-all type of little brother, but in tchronicles watching a really considerate, brave and mature syaoran feels quite good. I love to watch the series when i see that characters really learn and evolve.
