Always the case with MCMs, but then the guests is possibly the least of the reasons we attend - with certain exceptions*, we don't bother with the scrawlings of the famous or panel's by them... we go primarily for the shopping, the comic artists, the steampunks and cosplayers, plus the social...

Durarara! vol 1 (now that the Book Depository have finally delivered vols 1-4, all sent the same day, all individually packaged...) Just as weird as the anime.

Yes... used to be a regular thing if I'd missed the last train after a gig, I'd head back to the office and crash there for the night ¬.¬ HYE droped a slice of toast and had it land butter side UP??

Roll-up, roll-up! Get yer mangas 'ere! I had a sort out the other evening and decided that a bunch of manga on my shelves fell into the 'read once, never going to re-read' category (and it's taking up valuable shelf space), so I'll be listing it here over the next few days. All vols in good...

My 2 fave albums from Bright Eyes, I'm Wide Awake, it's Morning! and Cassadaga. 2 great albums full of songs that uplift one track, then bring you crashing down into the depths of despair the next. From the beautiful fragility of Lua to the gloriously raucous Road to Joy and then the...

:eek: That bus stop is about 5 minutes walk from my desk... Waiting in the Summer, Ep1 Rather enjoyable SoL (with a bit of sci-fi), engaging characters, set the story up neatly and nice to look at. Made me want to watch the rest of the series asap (but that'll have to wait until the...

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead :D

Started the journey in with some Sweet Sweet Lies(awesome band from Brighton), followed with Leeds-based miserablists I Like Trains.

Yes.... but I'd need so many chains... plus keeping control of that many would be... problematic. HYE gone cold turkey in a shed in Albuquerque??

Mmmmmm... so looking forward to this, looks beautiful from the trailer. And I really want to see this on the big screen, hopefully the BFI will have a screening, as they've done with his other movies.

Re: I struggled with the Thees and Thouests of OoKu. Loved the story and art prithee, loathed the language... reminded me too much of forced Shakespeare at school. Physically... those daft 4-vol compendiums of series like Chobits... how on earth are you meant to read those properly without...

So am I, which can only mean that I must like torturing myself... :oops: In similar vein to Banana Fish is the Korean manhwa Let Dai - gangland tales with some shonen ai mixed in there. Almost as good as BF. More recent, so more likely to find it. 14 vols complete.

This. Definitely this. Been there, done that. Not good for you, definitely not good for your mental health. @Joshawott: It takes courage to tell another that you have feelings for them, but how will you know if those feelings are welcomed, even reciprocated, if you stay schtum?? You could do...

Thanks folks. 'tis nice here, will definitely be sticking around and participating. Heh... yeah. Max watched 5cm/s a while back (I think I've nagged most of the NEO regulars into watching it) and he found it hit rather close to home (as indeed, it did with me), so now he gets horrible...

5cm Per Second (well... I'm nothing if not predictable...) but if you liked the anime, the manga version expands on the final part, with more background. There's also a nice 'whatever happened to Kanae' epilogue which ties up that loose end. Single vol. Banana Fish gritty New York gangland...

Bunny Drop Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Wandering Son Kokoro Connect No. 6

Yes ;) HYE danced with the devil in the pale moonlight??

Yes. Snowdon. In March. Wearing a kilt... HYE forded a stream?? ;)

You youngsters.... :P 44 last time around, and 45 in about 7 weeks time. In some ways I've 'grown-up' (job, house, partner) but in many ways I still feel young and carefree. I still enjoy doing many things I did when I was 20 (music/gigs, comics/anime) and just having fun. Some good things...

I watch most on my own, though I have tempted the other half into watching something with me a couple of times. (She's into certain manga series, so there's my foot in the door, so to speak!). But, where I prefer watching subs, she'll only watch dubs (and then moan about the voice cast...
