Doctor Who Fanime

OtaKing77077 has been working his butt off to produce perhaps one of the most exciting fan projects of all time. He has scripted, pencilled, shaded and animated his way towards making a Doctor Who fan-anime, which so far is looking amazing.

Watch his in-progress videos here, at his channel. ^_^ It's amazing work, he is to be thoroughly congratulated.

I for one am greatly anticipating the finished product.

High School Debut Movie Has Been Greenlit!

Word is a High School Debut movie has been greenlit! This is one of my favourite manga, so I'm happy to see it will finally get a screen adaption. I had been hoping for an anime series, but movies are usually quite good, take the Love*Com and Death Note movies, for example. Maybe Death Note isn't a good example, as it's a shonen manga and not a shojo like HSD or L*C, but still, it's a great manga-turned-great-movie.

Ito Ono is starring as Haruna Nagashima, and Junpei Mizobata is playing Yoh. I haven't seen either of them in anything before, but their appearances roughly correspond to the characters.

But, as we all know, it is not the appearance of the actors that truly matters, but how they convey the characters and fit the role. I hope that Mizobata-san and Ono-san do well in their roles, for us, the fans, and so that they can further their careers. I wish them both luck. ^_^

Hey Everyone (Though I Doubt Many People Will Ever Bother Coming Here... ^_^ )

Hi everybody!

I figure my short "about me" section isn't very in-depth and leaves out a lot of things, including my gender. Heh.

Well, first up, I'm a girl. I'm seventeen and I started with anime when I was six, my first crush was on Astro Boy. I didn't get fully into anime (or even realise Astro Boy was not an American show) for many years. The first ever manga I read was DNAngel by Yukiri Sugisaki, and I read/watch both shonen and shojo manga/anime.

Anime and manga is not my only obsession, I'm known to enter a rage fairly quickly if someone talks while I am watching Doctor Who.

I am the second of three kids, my parents are divorced and each have new partners now. I like their new partners, so no trouble there.

I will be attending my third convention at the beginning of 2011.

I like lolita fashion (though I have never worn any) and I like finding out new tidbits of info about Japan.

This blog will mostly focus on anime and Japanese culture, but sometimes I'll throw in other things too.

So, I guess that's all for now.

I hope to see you round! ^_^
