...I know what you are thinking from the title. 'This is old news! You did that nearly 2 years ago (oh shit)!' I hear you cry (in my imagination. I seem to do a lot of imagining on this blog.)
However, I mean I have graduated from my manga/anime to JAPANESE DRAMA. Now I can sound cultured by watching Asian popular Television Shows, rather than feel slightly ashamed of how much I immerse myself in what is quintessentially Japanese comic books and cartoons. Not that this will stop me from reading said comic books and watching said cartoons, but rather that I have expanded by horizons some what.
I have watched 4 so far, Mei-chan no Shitsugi (which I watched right after finishing the manga), Zettai Kareshi (which I will read the manga for but MY GOD did I cry - I want to now just thinking about it), Nobuta wo Produce (people who know me, if I start coming out with weird things, namely to do with bicycles or hand gestures that go 'KON', it's probably from this) and Hana Kimi (which was enjoyable even though its a manga I have been avoiding). I just get super pissed off with the pop up adverts on the site I watch them from, especially when it is a French radio station that only starts 5 mins after it has opened and takes you unaware as you cant understand where the French is coming from in the middle of a load of Japanese.
I'm slowly picking up more and more Japanese though. Watching the news about Japan and I could pick up snippets of what the people were saying without the translator, which I think is exciting. I wonder if you can learn Japanese purely from watching anime and j-drama?
....
And its just occurred that I am posting a load of SHIT again.
Gomen nesai.
Its horrid about this whole thing with the Japanese quake and tsunami. You may have seen my twitter rant a few days ago. I read not too long ago that they have just found 1000 bodies, which is so sad. Its just good that Japan was relatively prepared for such an incident, although it doesn't make it any more heart breaking.
Anyway, I'm off now to make okonomiyaki for dinner.

Old Obsessions Die Hard
Just a quick post to share something that nobody but me really gives a crap about.
Remember when I said a few posts ago that I would try and turn craft into my new obsession seeing as my old one seems to be dying out? Well, dear blog reader, I must inform you that apparently I am not apparently ready to fully let go of my manga/anime obsession yet, apparently. Having finally got up to date with Shinobi Life, I've started on Barajou no Kisu, and now feel as sucked in as ever.

41 Titles in 9 Months
In my last post, I mentioned how I felt that my Manga/Anime obsession was fading fast, so I thought I would look back over the past 9 months at what I have read/watched, and sum up my opinions.
Yes, I realise nobody gives a crap but me, but this is my blog so deal with it.
CARDCAPTOR SAKURA (Manga.Anime) The one that started it all. I still adore it.
TSUBASA RESERVOIR CHRONICLE (M.A) Hooked from the first scene. Got really confusing though. Team Shaoran!
xxxHOLIC (M*.A) I enjoyed the manga more than the anime for the Tsubasa references, but the soundtrack <3
CHOBITS (M.A) It was alright, the anime bored me though.
VAMPIRE KNIGHT (M*.A) Love it, love it, love it. Still get excited when new chapters come out, but I prefer the earlier stuff. I want Kaname and Zero.
BLOODY KISS (M) Short but sweet.
KARIN (M) Not hot enough after Vampire Knight, and I wasn't a fan of the art, but I still enjoyed.
HANA TO AKUMA (M) Awwwww. I loved this, but the end actually broke my heart.
SHINIGAMI LOVERS (M) Meh. Didn't like the girl.
DENGEKI DAISY (M*) This is awesome. Reading new chapters right now :D I want Kurosaki.
MIDNIGHT SECRETARY (M) Meh.
BLACK BIRD (M*) LOVE! Have read twice. I want Kyo.
LOVE MONSTER (M) Love! Have read twice. I want Kurou Tenma, but not as much as Kyo.
YOKUJO CLIMAX (M) Love! Have read twice. I like the girls character.
LOVE CELEB (M) I liked Gin as a character a lot. The girl annoyed me.
MOE KARE (M) Cute, but the characters looked too young to be doing what they were doing....
SENNEN NO YUKI (M) Lovely story, but was not impressed with the art.
HAPI MARI (M*) I liked this a lot, but its not released often enough.
REN-AI SHIJOU SHUGI (M) It amused me greatly. And made me want to learn karate.
SUKI-TTE LI NA YO (M*) Sweet, but I find it slow.
BEAST MASTER (M) I have nothing to say about this one, it was OK.
KYOUSOU HEAVEN (M) I enjoyed, and will probably re-read.
AKUMA NO EROS (M) I enjoyed, but wouldn't re-read.
REIMEI NO ARCARNA (M*) Predictable, but enjoyable. The setting reminded me of Tsubasa a bit.
HONEY X HONEY DROPS (M*.A) Manga was awesome, anime sucked.
HAOU AIREN (M) I cried like a baby at the end.
MITSUIRO DEVIL (M) Ummmm... I cant remember what this was about.
MIDNIGHT CHILDREN (M*) I don't remember much about this one either.
ASURA (M*) This had such promise, but disappeared after like 2 chapters
KAIKAN PHRASE (M) Good, but didn't hold me consistently.
KISS X SIS (M*.A) I'm too western for this. The twin sisters are in love with their step brother. Yeah.
FUTARI ECCHI (M) Bored me and didn't like the art.
KAICHOU WA MAID-SAMA (M*.A) Love this so much. I want Usui Takumi.
MOTTO OSHIETE (M) Didnt stand out. From a selection of shorts with the next few, I think.
SHOUNEN NO SUSUME (M) I haven't a clue what this was.
MIDARA NA SENRITSU, HIWAI NA YULOSAKI (M) That's a long name.
KIMI SAE MO AI NO KISARI (M) Ummm.
FASTER THAN A KISS (M*) Soooo cute ... if not a bit wrong. I mean, she's married to her teacher.
OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB (A) Easy watching but didn't really hook me.
WATASHI NI XX SHINASAI (M*) Ok, not a fan of the art though.
SHINOBI LIFE (M*) If I ever finish it, I'll let you know...
* = ongoing.
I guess what I have realised from writing this post is that the manga/animes that I have enjoyed the most are the ones where I fell in love a little bit with the main character. The Japanese just portray their male heroes to be so ... cool. I literally have no other way to describe it. I wish real guys were like that. Sigh.
