LJ can leave you feeling really close to people that actually you know surprisingly little about. So, here's your chance to ask me something you think you should know about me... something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Okay, I am SO MADLY IN LOVE with Kyou Kara Maoh. It's adorable. The concept is so SILLY - Yuri, ordinary Japanese schoolboy, gets flushed down a toilet and ends up in a fantasy-land where he's the Demon King - but it's such an wonderful show. And today they apparently made the very common anime mistake of letting the interns do the animation e_e but it was SO CUTE. I really love anime and manga where the characters act like they despise each other but are constantly forced to acknowledge their affection/protectiveness/loyalty to one another. Reminds me of Saiyuki, in some ways. Which I've been rereading, and have noticed things - character developments, plot twists - that are really quite skillful (omfgdoctorni). Anyway, Kyou Kara Maoh. It, of course, helps that EVERY male character somehow manages to find his way, willing or not, practically into Yuri's pants. And what a name for a boy. Yuri. *snicker* I really love it, though. So much. Gwendal is like the Hiko of the show, with the >:| face and the ¬_¬ face and the "I am so damn grumpy and I hate everyone!", and he knits and loves cute plushie keychains and is all "Well, Your Majesty, if you're cold, you better snuggle up against me, because we sure can't have you being cold. But I'm gruff. Rrr." HELL yes.

It's been a while since I've had so much FUN watching an anime. I really loved Haibane Renmei and Last Exile, but it wasn't... you know... delightful. It didn't make me laugh. It was gorgeous and awesome, but not like this. Samurai Champloo is a little like this is, but without the blatant slashiness.

Whee!

You'd love Blake's 7. Not anime, of course, but there's a wonderful character called Avon (that's him in the icon) who professes to despise everyone and ends up saving their lives on a regular basis, then claiming that of course he did it for entirely selfish reasons. Stellar stuff, even though the special effects weren't very special (hardly surprising, considering the show was made on a microscopic budget) and the science truly sucked in places (oh, my word, we can put patrols just here at the edge of the galaxy to stop the Andromedans invading!). But the characterisation... ah, it was worth all the rest for that. :-)

what colour are your eyes?

[redatt.livejournal.com]

I was going to ask that!

~pouts~

Er... elaby, do you have a favourite colour? If so, what is it?

[elaby.livejournal.com]

I should so see it! It sounds wonderful ^_^

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Brown :) Root-beer colored, or so I've been told.

Hee ^_^

I don't have a specific favorite color (usually I'd say green or purple) but I like cool colors the best. So green and purple and blue ^_^

Beautifully amber-y colored root beery :)
