It's Rei. Don't deny it. It's still pretty good though. Your eyes are well done too. For a good training tip, visit the link below and try drawing every eye you see there without tracing. You'll get a brilliant feel for them as a result. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYHzcM32 ...

RahXephon currently lies on my pile of unifinished anime. Usually when it gets there it means i never got the motivation to continue watching it. Just remember you're supposed to be entertained by this stuff. There's no committee sitting over you telling you to finish watching it all and then...

Whenever this little argument happens i always like to refer people to Fruits Basket. Find the episode when they speak of that 'America anime' featuring the mouse who always outsmarts the cat and realise that the japanese don't distinguish it in this 'special' way that we westener types do. In...

I would go for a mix. Overall it's easier for them to make high scale series on a lower buget nowadays, but as a result the storyline is usualy very stock. That's not to say there isn't great work nowadays, just a lot of junk that looks good to filter through. Then on top of that, the work i...

Can't say i've ever had this problem. Most i've had to pay was twenty quid, and that's usually for the manga that comes out before tokyopop attacked the market (stuff like Ranma /Blade of the Immortal/Akira). What annoys me is when they don't complete the series! Samurai Deeper Kyo got to...

I present to you moderate anger, but then i'm guilty of online reading at times too, though i tyr to prevent it as much as possible (though i have unfortunately absorbed the entire of Gantz through online viewers (i was an accident i swear, you know how that series works. I was on the third...

Did anyone ever stop to question if Eva ever had any philosophy to it whatsoever. The more i think back on the subject, the more i get the awful feeling that it was made up as they went along and just occasionally quoted the names of biblical angels and mixed in with kids going angsty. I...

I'm glad someone finally appreciates the trouble i make with that name. Most just willfully ignore it, though i can't say i blame them.

It would be scary to own all of that, imagine the one long line on your bookcase. Same with Jojo's bizarre adventures. What is the longest running manga of all time? I never actually went out my way to check. I get the feeling it is Jojo, but i remember my japanese professor telling me of a...

Yay! another Kyo fan. Finally. Alas, the anime is terrible. Plots are warped. The cannon fodder gets replaced with generic demons and long term story arcs are wrapped up quickly and badly in order to speed things along for the short run of 27 episodes. Most unforgivably, they get Takehito...

After three months? Sheesh. I studied at uni for three months, dropped out after losing it over relative clauses and spent the past three years trying to pick up the pieces afterwrads. Now i'd say i'm okay and passably fluent but i still find myself shying away from japanese manga because i feel...

I fall for this every so often. The last time was Tokyo Mew Mew. Before that was Detective Loki and before that Demon Diary. It's reassuring in a way. It tells me that i can't just watch any anime and like it regardless. And that there is quality to some of the crap i do watch and enjoy.

I've been careful never to fall to the urges of these. I honestly don't see the point of buying expensive felt tip pens. I'm sure to man there is such a major difference but in the end it's just another way to get colour onto paper. I had the same thing with black markers. I went through a...

ooh, my first topic. Time for a pretentious effort of making my ego feel big through demonstrating my large collection of silly little comic books. What's your largest collection of one particular volume of manga (can include reduxes of the series i/e Shaolin Sisters) and what made you...

Mainly because there was nothing definitively wrong with what was being shown. There's never actually any full frontal nudity or scenes of sexual intercourse throughout the book, strands of hair over nipples notwithstanding.
