[jadey]

okkkiii...ive noticed that we have had a new wave of new people. its true they do come in waves. DONT BE SHY!! ^_^ and because ive been relatively inactive figured maybe its time to do a little catch up.

how bout all the new members give a shout out so i can recognize names and avas etc..and all the old veterans just wave a bit so that they recognize u too..

so how bout doing the old im from such and such and i like such and such manga...etc etc

sooooo without further ado ill break the ice

Im JADEY.

im from snowy Connecticut USA.

Im 17

I dont do anything for this site except read their wonderful works and provide some comical relief when the occasion arises

Mangas i like: anything by kaori yuki. everything on this site....shonen ai yaio...and ive been known to dabble in the sugar coated shoujo

so thats me in a nut shell...so dont let me down folks...lets all come out of our holes..shake off the snow (in my case at least) and say hello! ^_^

[LiL dEviL MiNeE]

Hi everyone! *waves* well, i changed my name, it was "lil devil minee" before ^^ I think i should stick to this name now. keke..

Well, let's see...

You can call me Lilo or Minee..
I'm from S. Cali USA
Turned 2o this year

Mangas i Like are Love Mode, Cain, Viewfinder and pretty much anything Shounen Ai and Yaoi. I love everything on this site and my list shall go on to name all the mangas. ^^;

I would love to translate but i'm barely learning Kanji so i can't... *sigh* Well, the forum is awesome, everyone's so open minded, i love this forum. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

[Shia]

*joins in since lady elanor might be the only one to still remember me anyways*

Hi, I'm Shia, 21, from Austria, studiing psychology in real life, and... erm... I feel that's already it.. not much to say about me... *thinks hard*
oh, hm, yes, I'm (like most Anime and Manga fans) taking Japanese lessons, and I'm already up to the point where I can understand enough of a conversation to go completely nuts out of curiousity ("eternal? He said something about "eternal"!!! damn, I wish I could understand the rest of that sentence as well!!!!")


I like.. hm, everything by Kaori Yuki, Angel Sanctuary beeing the absolute favourite, I love Yaoi Stuff, and as much as I dislike to admit it, I also like sugar sweet Shoujo Stuff, specially Hanakimi [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
talking about anime, I really really do love Get Backers and Peace Maker Kurogane ^^

well that's it ^^

@Ayska: about the custom avatar thingy: in the "my profile" option: on the left side there's this text, starting with "choose your own avatar... *blah*" and at the end of the paragraph there's the "click _here_ to upload a custom avatar"... first click this button to upload an avatar from your pc, and then choose the "custom" option in the box to the right, should be the second from the top..
that's all the help I can give on that topic, if the problem does not lie within these steps... ^^ sorry ^^

[Lady Elanor]

Hey, how can we ever forget Shia and her Angel Sanctuary talks? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, I'm Lady Elanor or just Elanor. Don't call me Lady, it sounds like a dog's name. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I live in the south of Austria, you know, the small state in the middle of Europe. Actually I'm doing nothing spezial. My likings are all Manga of Kaori Yuki and some shonen-ai stuff. But I don't like yaoi. Apart from that I love Fruits Basket and in a strange mood I read good old Lady Oscar.
Animes? Not really mine. IMHO the black and white pictures and the possibility to imagine every single voice by yourself makes more fun.

Hmm what else can I say about me? Ah, yes! I do writing stories and poems and also try to do paintings in photoshop. Look at my deviantArt gallery: http://elbenlady-elanor.deviantart.com/

Just one final important thing about me: I absolutely love Tolkien but hate Peter Jackson's movies. ^__^

[Ayska]

*shakes off snow* hello everyone!!! I?m Ayska and I?ve been on this board for about a month? maybe? I really don?t remember, ach too much school and work. But Florida is calling me!! Right now actually, I leave tomorrow, woo!!!

Ok ummmm anyways I?m from Wisconsin the cheese capitol of the US? which is a total lie because California is actually the leading state in producing cheese? weird hey? Sorry useless information sticks with me like a bad? damn forgot how the quote goes.

Ummm I?m 18 about to be 19 in May and I?m still into anime and manga of just about any sort ^_^ going to college for Vocal Performance (gonna sing in operas and whatnot) and have been riding horses (dressage) since I was 3.

I also, like Jadey, don?t do anything but read the pretty manga on this site? wish I could help but I suck at scanning and I can?t translate anything except Bonjour (5 years of French, pathetic) but I might look into taking a course on Japanese. That would be pretty awesome hmmmmm
Mangas I like: hmmm this is gonna be a long list? um just about anything by Clamp is wonderful, Yuu Watase is another favorite, I tend to like shonen mangas too like Naruto and Hikaru no Go and Devil & Devil, Gravitation, Fake, and my favorites from this site are Boys Next Door *sobs*, Hotaru no Mori *sobs again*, Unjyo Rokaku Kidan (so so cute), and my ALL TIME FAVORITES *drum roll* Yami no Matsuei and Love Mode!!!!! *feints from excitement*

*revives self with a red sharpie pen and a pair of glasses* (don?t ask I?m very tired and that?s all I see around me now except the computer) well there you have it, my shout out ^_^ oh while I?m here I?d just like to thank all the people who are involved with translating/scanlating/anything else having to do with putting this site up!!!! Thank you thank you thank you sooooo much!!!! K toodles everyone!

P.S. I?m a moron so could anyone tell me how I can put the little picture up by my name? It says in my profile to pick ?Custom? from the list? but it?s not there? thanks again!!

P.S.S. thanks so much I think it just didn't like me before and wouldn't upload...

[Seraphim Hargreaves]

*waves grinning* ^^ Hello everyone. I am new here and I have an account in both deviant art and fanfiction.net! (I am a total anime obsessed person and EVERYONE KNOWS THAT) Here's this stupid thing that happened:

My teacher's brother from Japan: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT JAPAN?

*random idiots whisper about telephones and such*

Me: ANIME AND MANGA!!!!!!!

Class: O_O What's THAT????

Me: T_T *dies feeling stupid*

*~*~*~*End of Idiotic Class Scene~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yeah, that's me in a nutshell. I'll be attending Anime North, a cosplay convention. I am thinking about going as Emmeline Rotterdale from Count Cain but I don't have those long dress thingies. Any suggestions of what I should wear?

(Can't go as Cain cause I don't have those long detective coats! T_T)

My age is unknown because I seriously either act too mature for my age or too childish for my age...........PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THAT!!!

Fav Anime/Manga: I am TOTALLY obsessed about any Manga faturing a bishie that's evil and smart. (That's why I ADORE Kaori Yuki). I love all the mangas on the site and I don't mind yaoi. ^^

I would like to greet everyone here and glomp and give an extra thanks to all the wonderful scanners, translaters and editors of all the beautiful manga! I love you guys!^^

All in all I am an obsessed otaku. Bye!^^

[Mika_kitten]

Hello! My real name is Serina and I live in England in the UK! I'm kinda newbie!

Um...I'm 16 (17 like in weeks time today!) and I'm still hooked on manga! People thought I'd grow out of it...but NOOOOOOOO!! It's just got deeper...darker...and more scary in my lust!! MWA HA HA! *does a Muraki cackle*

Me love my Yaoi! ^_^ (L) Um Shonen-ai! Gravitation (I got books 1 to 4) FAKE (books 1 -5) Demon dairies (1 - 4) No money (1 + 2) Fushi yugi, and Kenshin!!

I have desendants of darkness(YnM) DVD, Inyuasha box set 1 and 2 and Saiyuki box set 1 and 2, Fruit baskets complete seires, Hellsing complete series, FLCL, Samurai X ....AND THAT'S IT!!

I love all the manga here! It's introduced me to so much and I hope they stay alive forever! I love everything by Yuki Kaori and Count Cain is my favorite of her's! And I love Love mode! And I will shout! And Yami no matsuei!

[crystalgryphon]

::Waves:: Hi, I'm Gryphon, an old curmudgeon of a fanfic writer who's going to turn thirty this year. I suspect I also subsidize the local comic shop, since I generally drop in excess of $300Cdn a month there. My collection of anime DVDs and VHS tapes covers pretty much an entire wall of my living room. And despite what it does to my finances, damned if I'm ever going to outgrow anime.

[tenjou_sama]

Might as well jump on the bandwagon too....

Err...I guess I'm one of those 'old veterans' Jadey was talking about...but I'm not old! XD

Currently I'm the resident scanner and editor for the recent Kaori Yuki works. (Count Cain, Ludwig Kakumei, Blood Hound, and most likely any other stories she puts out). But I also scanned and edited Alichino and have done a few edits in Yami (a loooong time ago XD). Often times you can catch me in the IRC channel (when I'm not working that is -_-;;; [img]wink.gif[/img] I'm sure my partnet-in-crime, Risu-chan (who translates the Kaori Yuki works) will pop up eventually...she's all sorts of crazy busy lately. One of these days I'm going to kidnap her and make her have a whole day of fun XD

And I'm in South Carolina, and YES computers exist here XD

I'm not as big a yaoi fan as half the people on this board, since I like to read about gorgeous guys who look at ME and not my date XD

I like Kaori Yuki (mainly Count Cain), Pet Shop of Horros, Fruits Basket, Akuma de Souro, Koi Suru 1/4, Love Mode, W-Juliet, Fushigi Yugi, (Seeing the trend here? XD), Psychometrer Eiji, Full Metal Alchemist, Shoujo Kakumei Utena...and there's probably more, but those are the ones I can name off the top of my head.

Anyways, welcome to the board all you new people!

[Terra--kun]

*glomps everyone who likes Fruits Basket* My fave anime!

Anyway... I'm joined this forum a few months ago and since it isn't too busy on a regular basis I come by and lurk now and then... Now for my stats, ne?

Age: 19, I'm turning 20 this summer... this makes me feel old...

Anime/Manga owned (My personal collection):
Please Save My Earth Manga Volumes 1-3
Fruits Basket Manga Volume 1
Fruits Basket DVDs 1-4 (COMPLETE!)
Rurouni Kenshin DVDs Tales of the Meiji (all of 'em)
Samurai X DVD Reflections
Saber Marionette J Again VHS Dubbed Box Set
Fushigi Yuugi VHS Dubbed Box Set 2
Mermaid's Scar Movie VHS Dubbed

Current Fan-sub/Scanlation obsessions:
Peace Maker Kurogane Anime
Full Metal Alchemist Anime and Manga
Naruto Anime
Twin Spica Anime
Full Moon wo Sagashite Anime(Seen it all now, still love it. It takes #2 place under Fruits Basket) and Manga
E's Otherwise Anime
Hunter x Hunter Anime and Manga

Sakende Yuruze (I WILL SHOUT!) Manga

I like my anime/manga to have many many bishounen (or at least one) and really good characters and engaging stories. I also like stories with tortured individuals... My favorite scenes in Yami no Matsuei anime were when Evil Tsuzuki chopped up 'Hijiri' and the flashback to when Muraki cursed Hisoka... For my hentai/yaoi I like Bondage....

I like changing my Avvie, but I'll edit my sig to say where it's from when I do.

I'm a real oddball and one day I can be saying one thing and the next I'll be saying the opposite sometimes... I like colouring manga and doing my own online comic Sprite Show! which is currently starting into a new arc where it will be shounen-ai... umm... I like reading online comics too... and I'm very obsessive... My anime list is almost to 250 series...
