   Ka-BOOM!!

Anime Word of the Day
Kemono (獣 or けもの "beast") is a genre of Japanese art and character design that prominently features animal-like fictional characters in human-like settings and situations. It is used widely in drawing, painting, manga, anime, and video game designs, many of which are popular in the rest of the world.Human-like animal characters in the kemono genre are frequently called Jūjin (獣人 or じゅうじん "therianthrope"; alternatively, these characters are also sometimes read as kemonobito "beast-human"). Their unique design differs from artist to artist, but in general they combine popular character design with animal traits deemed cute and endearing. However, most kemono character designs retain a fundamentally human character and personality, seldom acting like the real animals after which they are designed. As such, kemono are usually shown living the way normal humans live in the same setting: speaking normal language, wearing normal clothes, eating normal food, living in normal homes, in ways that blur their distinction from ordinary humans.

Opening Act:
Hello everyone! Well I’ve had probably one of the worst weekends… *cries* Unfortunately about mid-last week. Wednesday I think it was my computer CPU apparently burnt out! And as my roomies desperately ran around town trying to find a replacement we found out that stores no longer carry the type of CPU my computer used. Augh! So as they panicked and ran around doing stuff to try and fix it…I stare blankly at the ceiling. Hehehe Ok not quite that bad…I mean I read books and watched TV. But I really never noticed how much time I spent on this silly computer. It really is my key to freedom since I can’t do anything else right now. ^^ Thankfully last night my roomies managed to dig up a CPU that is working in my computer right now. Unfortunately it’s a bit of a temporary fix and I’m not sure what I’ll do if the same thing happens again.

Anyway I’m sorry I haven’t been to anyone’s sites!! Hmm needless to say the subject above was pretty much the only reason why I didn’t visit. I certainly had enough time on my hands! Hehehe After I finish up this little post here I plan on visiting everyone! So if you’ve updated your sites in the past week expect to see me stopping by!

New Works:
Hm no computer means no goodies. Sorry! With luck I can make up some this week. I’m thinking about doing a few Prince of Tennis ones with some scans I’ve had saved up. ^^




Epilogue:
Hmm I love all kinds of candy, but I think my favorites hang between Twizzlers and 3 Musketeer bars! I really don’t know what nougat is…and I never want to know. But I love that gooey stuff! LoL

destinyssweetman - ^^ No worries about my friends being mean on Halloween, they’re a silly group of pals and way to chicken to do anything scary on Halloween. LoL That’s why they’re coming over here. They figure they can avoid the evil stuff their other friends have planned for the night. LoL Such as sweet lil’bro! *huggles* And yup I want you to check out Death Note lots and lots. ^^ I actually convinced two of my roommates to watch the episodes I had saved and they’re completely addicted. ^^They ask me a couple times a week now if I’ve gotten anything more on that ‘twisted series.’ LoL

JungWoo – Oh I’m happy to feature English voice actors as well if that’s what you like. So feel free to suggest any of those. Just make sure you tell me English if you’re looking for a certain character’s voice. ^^ Lately suggestions have been before Japanese actors but I have done a few English ones in the past. I tend to watch both so I’m happy to explore and do research.

ElvesAteMyRamen – And yup I’m downloading the latest DeathNote animes and you’ll have a lot of variety in choosing which one you’d like. LoL I happen to prefer the TW subbing. But LiveEvil is pretty good too. Just a matter of tastes at this point really. ^^ And yup Tamaki and Light are the same voice actor… and just for you he’s this weeks biography!

DarkFaerie88 – Hmm well I’ve done a biography on Greg Ayres already so you’ll have to check my archives for that one. ^^ However I can definitely do biographies on Monica Rial and John Burgmeier.

tomieharley – Ah the DeathNote movie was completely amazing! The effects, the acting, all top notch! However so far I’ve only managed to get a hold of a Japanese version. So I don’t think any fansubs are available yet. And the copy I got wasn’t very good. LoL The joy of trying to work with video pirates!

Random Question: What was your favorite Halloween costume from your childhood? Assuming you celebrated Halloween. ^^ Or at least dressed up!

Special request voice actor! Well I first heard Mamoru as the voice of Tamaki so he’s a fairly new voice actor for me. But I was thrilled to see him doing the voice of Light on DeathNote. He does an amazing job switching between Light’s various personalities. I was quite surprised though I guess I shouldn’t have been Tamaki after all was more than just a comedic character even if he was played that way most of the series. ^^
