The recent flooding some parts of the country have been suffering reminded me of this great fear I had when I was younger. The fact we lived on the high ground of a hill/moor side didn’t seem to be any comfort. Only when older and understanding that it’s river valleys and low lying...

Staring at my computer screens feeling a bit lost. Musing at the god-awful-miserable weather outside my window that’s flooding certain parts of England at the mo – I’m thankful I live on a hill! Hi back to Lupus Inu & Manga Girls – couple of people not forgotten me at least –...

Spotted this a while back whilst checking out the London MCM Expo website – like the sound of it. Thought there was possibly more to tickle my interest at this expo so think I might just have to make the effort and pay a visit. Perhaps also thought there might be less chance of being...

Samurai Champloo Vol.7 – it’s the very series that got me started with Anime last summer – its taken me almost a year to finish it off whilst I’ve been busy checking other stuff out with the slow dribble of rental discs I get every month. Got a little bit bored with the episodic...

Kill Me, Kiss me Vol.5 – mostly since I only had to buy this one to complete set rather than being persuaded by the riveting story. Should be fun enough read though I reckon. Then suckered by FP’s 3-for-£15 I had to find 2 others...decided to start my Fruits Baskets collection slightly...

On here after a hiatus of sorts - catching up on what everyone has been dribbling on about in the last few months. Also flicking around the various bits of coverage of Glastonbury on TV at the same time. Hello to anyone that remembers me (and/or gives a s*** :wink: )

Finally finished off Last Exile with Vol.7 - definitely been a solid series that takes you on a good journey - think as a result I had built up my expectation for the climax - not exactly disappointed with the ending, but perhaps felt a little "...Oh...So...it's ended then..." But tbh, not...

Recently acquired Kill Me, Kiss Me Vols.1-4. Read 1&2 and now into 3. Bit of fun no doubt; laughable combination of cross-dressing, mistaken gender/identity mixed in amongst gang to gang fighting, conflict, territorial disputes – you know, the usual stuff. Brings up that familiar dilemma...

Azumanga Daioh Vol.4 - this was one of the first series I saw when I first discovered anime last summer – I was totally swept away with the humour, cute-fluffyness, Japanese-ness and sheer novelty of it all back then. So onto Vol.4...The gag-hit-rate is not quite as high as the early...

Hard not to snigger at those two :D “…must have taken someone hours…â€

Think I'm in much the same boat as you - not bothered with any Naruto before now; put off in part by the 100+ episode count and all the talk of filler - just didn't sound like an efficient use of time, so I've been curious as to what all the fuss is about. This Shippuden business sounding...

Not read the article but I think I get the general gist. Strikes me its much like the wining and winging that goes on when talking about the British film industry (although this has improved of late) or maybe even the state of the British motor industry. I think part of it’s like some sort...

:shock:...Now there's a homework list for me! Lol. I've yet to check out Lupus Inu's suggestions - must get my act together! Thx both anyway :)

Repeating many already mentioned – but this would be my indispensable list: (roughly in order of appearance I think) Monty Python Faulty Towers Young Ones Black Adder Bit of Fry and Laurie Alexei Sayle’s Stuff Red Dwarf Bottom Father Ted Black Books Mighty Boosh Honourable...

Ahh...just a pair of numbers aren't they. There's times when I don't feel like I've progressed much from being a 12 year old :? I can play guitar better now mind. 8)

Stumbled across this useful overview to Korean Drama for anyone interested - http://www.koreanfilm.org/tvdramas/index.htm Has some considered reviews to some of the prominent series from the last 5+ years. Got through the 24 episodes of the Goong series a short while back - very enjoyable...

OMG - why didn't I see Toadie before now - its so clear! :wink: Here's one below of me trying to hide behind a pint of beer. I can only apologies for the lack of hair – in defence, it was cut very short at the time. Perhaps I should do away with it all together, put a pair of shades on...

...And some that are older...say no more. If you must know, go dig up the old age/gender thread :wink:

Not sure I could have put it better myself. (perhaps minus the bishies - not qualified to comment on them :wink:) As far as comparing manga to books; with the combination of words and pictures I think a well-written manga often provides a more vivid experience – books can seem a bit fuzzy...

RahXephon Vol.5 – I thought this was finally getting to the stage of giving me some answers after the seemingly perpetual suspense of sci-fi mystery that runs through this – I may have forgotten what the original questions were :?. This could well turn out to be a series to benefit from...
