Queen Asuka

[color=crimson][size=1]No offense or anything, but I think it's sort of ridiculous you are encouraging people to watch anime that is low-quality just because it has panty-shots. That sort of frightens me actually. I know that I wouldn't ever want to see it just because of that.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Vaughn finally fell asleep and Arianna gently slipped out of the bed, frowning sadly. She walked over to the window and let the wind blow her shimmering raven colored hair behind her. The breeze felt refreshing on her face and she closed her eyes. She was surrounded in the aura of moonlight and she begin to remember things from home. It was all so complicated now, with Vaughn, proclaiming his love to her. She wasn't certain what to do. But in her mind, she could still feel the love she had carried for someone else. His face was blurred in her memory and she got angry with herself for forgetting. She hated to harbor feelings and not understand why. She looked down at herself in her nearly transparent silk and white night gown. She backed away from the window and left the room. She found her way to the outside and to a tiny pool of water. She knelt beside it, little white flowers growing in the moonlight around her, and sighed deeply. What was she going to do?[/color][/size][/i]

[color=crimson][size=1]I would say to carry anime that's not widely known and isn't really mainstream. If you sell the same stupid mainstream stuff like DBZ and Tenchi, then you're not really doing yourself or anyone a favor. Help to expand people's horizons and get good stuff![/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Arianna looked down at Vaughn and saw the tears in his eyes. Although part of her was telling her no, the other part couln't resist. She jumped from the window and he caught her, his wings folding around her momentarily and then spreading out again. She gently wiped the tears from his cheek as he wiped away hers. She smiled and didn't say anything.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=crimson][size=1]I HATE Asuka's dubbed English voice. It's so horrid. I cant' believe they actually AIR Eva on Network television! That is a freaking disgrace! ARGHGHGHGHGH!!!!!! *Runs off and starts killing innocent sheep or something...* ANYWHO! Well, if you want to see true Eva, and I suggest you do, PLEASE PLEASE go and buy the DVDs and see it subtitled and uncut. It'll probably be so different from that edited network crap that you wont even know what you're watching.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Just as Vaughn was leaning over to kiss her, Arianna suddenly pushed away from him. He frowned at her, wondering what was wrong. She wouldn't look up at him and she just stared down in her feet in desolation.[/i] [b]Vaughn:[/b] Arianna, what's wrong? Did I do something? [b]Arianna:[/b] No, it's not that...it's not that at all...It's just that after talking with Hitomi, I've been having flashbacks from home. My memory is still incomplete, but little bits and pieces keep coming to me. I remembered...him.... [i]She became very silent and he could see the tears coming to her eyes once again. His heart leap to his throat as he thought that there was already another in her life. He didn't say anything for a long moment but finally just took her in his arms. She didn't move or respond, but stood there almost lifelessly.[/i][/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]No, I'm not hating you because you like DBZ. That would be a stupid reason to discriminate. I just don't agree with your opinions. And how old are you anyway? I dont' feel like looking in your profile just to see... Now, another anime series I can tolerate dubbed is Ranma 1/2. I LOVE Shampoo's voice. ^_^[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Arianna smiled and decided that he was right. She didn't have to buy him anything to make him happy. And that made her content. She sighed happily and waited until nightfall when the ball would be held. Then she would get to meet other people from this world and maybe one of them could tell her what had REALLY happened to her and help revive her memories. She slid a strand of her silky hair over her shoulder and twirled it around her fingers.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Arianna lay beside Vaughn as he was being healed. He told her that he loved her, but she didn't know what to say. She gently fell asleep. She dreamed that she was on a boat in the middle of murky waters and she had no idea where she was at or what was going on. She cried and cried for help but no one would come to her. She could only hear the empty echoes of herself. Eventually, the dream ended and she slept peacefully.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Arianna didn't know what had hit her. One minute she thought she was about to die and then the next Vaughn lay in front of her, bleeding and unconscious. She screamed for help, but it didn't seem as if anyone was going to come. Finally, Queen Celestia came running. She saw her son laying there and then she saw Arianna in the white dress, covering in Vaughn's blood. She immediately called for help and Vaughn was soon taken away. Arianna just stood there all alone as everyone rushed back inside. She looked up at the gray sky as it began to rain upon her.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=crimson][size=1]I LOVE the little toys that come in Kid's Meals! I used to beg to go to McDonalds for the little Barbies. I can't think of a toy that I didn't like when I was a kid. Me and my sisters played with everything. We had like mini-rpgs that were like Ninja Turtles meets Barbie or something. It was great. I miss the good ol' days.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Arianna was immensely confused, but was comforted to know that already someone cared for her and was going to be a companion and protector for her. She wept silently in his arms, not knowing what to think and hoping that the reason she cared for him so much already wasn't because of her heightened anxiety and confusion. She slowly slipped out of his arms and walked silently out of the room, not having a clue where she was going, but wandering aimlessly down the halls. She wasnt' sure if he was following her or not, but she was lost. She just kept walking, not saying anything.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=crimson][size=1]In my opinion, being the officer is SUPER hard. You have to choreograph and everything and that is just so complicated because you don't want to steal everything that's already been done and you can't repeat stuff that you did the year before or everyone will know. It DOES count. Plus, you have to go through the pains of trying to watch everyone and tell them what they are doing wrong and fixing it and then watching them make that same mistake over and over again. It's so stressful, but it's so worth it. And you made the team and you are the Captain, so you should be proud. Like me. I'm so happy with myself because I never thought I could do it.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Arianna stood in the white dress, which constransted magnificiently with her black hair. She felt as if she were glowing. She had listened to everything Vaughn had said, but suddenly he was staring at her in awe. She felt herself blush and looked down to the floor.[/i] [b]Arianna:[/b] Hearing you talk about me saving Gea frightens me. I don't remember what happened to me before I came here. But I know that I'm not on Earth anymore. [i]She picked up a silvery veil and placed it upon her head. The silver glimmered across her forhead. She sighed once again. That was one thing Vaughn could tell....Arianna wasn't happy in the present with her situation. She just stood there, wringing her hands.[/i][/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]I LOVE TO DANCE! Dancing is a big part of my life right now. I'm one of the Captain's of my Dance Team at high school and we are such an awesome squad. People have asked us if we took professional lessons, which we dont. I used to take Scottish aka Highland dancing when I was younger, back in Middle School. It was fun, but I couldn't master the technique. Just watch those dancers at the Highland Festivals..it'll blow your mind.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]She stared at him for a moment as he invited her to the ball. She fought the urge to break into tears again and gently wiped the remaining ones with her hand. Both Vaughn and his mother were very beautiful and she was so very confused. Her brain was muddled...[/i] [b]Arianna:[/b] Yes, I'll go with you...as long as you can supply me with something to wear. I'm not sure my school uniform would suit your purposes... [i]As Vaughn broke into a slight smile, she found herself smiling as well. Then she started to weep once more. She needed answers and she wanted to know where she was.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=crimson][size=1]If you love DBZ so much, then why are you worshipping it here and not in the DBZ forum? There aren't really many people here who like DBZ, and many of us can barely tolerate it. I cringe when I hear it spoken of, that's how much the series digusts me. And yes, I know that there is cussing in the original. And yes, I know that Master Roshi is a perverted idiot. And yes, I know that this series is much older than you and there's no such things as a new episode of DBZ. And the last season of DB is DBGT. That's IT.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1][i]Arianna all of a sudden couldn't remember where she was. She remembered seeing a bright light, but that was it. She slipped a strand of her silky raven colored hair over her shoulder and sighed, feeling a tear begin to slide down her cheek. She knew she was lost beyond anything she had ever known. The foreign world surrounded her and it looked as though she was in a garden of beautiful flowers. She sat down on a nearby bench and wept quietly, hoping someone would find her.[/color][/size][/i]

[color=crimson][size=1]I hate it that America's perception of Sailor Moon has been ruined by useless dubbing and editing. Seriously, Kevin, the plot is not that bad at all. It's just that after the companies get a hold of it and get ready to put it mainstream, that's when the trouble begins. Read the manga. It's a beautiful storyline without Usagi's annoying whining. I love the manga. I love Sailor Moon. I just HATE the dubbed American version.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]MOVIES...well, I am more a series person than a movie person. But I do like the Ranma 1/2 movies. I like Galaxy Express 999. Alot of people are turned off by it because it's so old, but the storyline is classic and deep and it just really appealed to me. Especially because I like Science Fiction so much. Also, Green Legend Ran was an interesting one. And for series, watch Neon Genesis Evangelion!! It's the absolute best.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]You're not supposed to link to other websites via the Otakuboards. But anywho... I don't draw manga necessarily as in the whole storyline/comic thing, but I do draw anime characters and such and I read manga. :D Okay, that was stupid. The hardest part for me is hands. It used to be clothes, but after practicing, I've gotten folds pretty good. Just look at a picture of a REAL person and copy what you see. That helped me out alot. I love to draw and watercolor though and you can look up some of my artwork at my website, the link of which is in my signiture.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]I heard that it was a big hit from my English teacher, if you can believe that. Her son who is a college student is big into anime and recommended it. If I see that it's released in theatres here, I'll definately have to go and see it.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]And it's usually always the people who haven't seen subtitled or whatever who like dubbing and wont bend their prideful wills to see something better because they know they are going to be proven wrong. Alright then, let me get started. Dubbing sucks because, like you said, the voices don't match up and their just plain stupid. It also sucks whenever they change voice actors from season to season, making it confusing, unclean, and even more stupid. Now, editing. Let me see here. If they have to edit it so much from the original that the only recognizable thing is the series is the name of it, then it's not fit to be aired on television anyway and they have no business ruining the series. When you edit an anime series, you are taking away from what it really is and conforming it to stupid American standards. If that's the case, keep it off the networks. Now, there are some tolerable dubbings that I like. Such as Fushigi Yugi, Nadesico, Trigun, and some others. But to take up for DBZ is INSANE. That show sucks beyond belief, and I think it would dubbed OR subbed. NOW, if you didn't realize that DBZ had a plot and storyline and you are a fan, then you really are naive...aren't you?[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]I like Mindless Self Indulgence and I don't know but one other person besides me who does. Oh well...[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]We are so off topic, but oh well...*laughs* I just want to say one last thing and then we need to move on from Pokemon bashing. I liked Team Rocket. They always made me laugh and I thought James was just the cutest thing. And I also liked Misty, and her sisters. They were so pretty to me. I always wanted Misty and Ash to get together, but I guess that was stupid of me to think...ANYWHO... I think something that is overdone is the theme that love conquers all. I mean, it's good sometimes, but I like it to get dark every once in a while. Like Evangelion did...[/color][/size]
