Most of the time I appreciate the UN because it is like a sign of humanity's progress. Then my hope get shot down by events such as Rwanda back in the early 90's and what is currently occurring in Darfu Sudan.

Moving on: there's a list of things I want to talk about in more detail, but no time, so short sentences it is (not in any particular order).

+ Kingdom Hearts 1 (the ending is kind of meh.)
+ Hajime no Ippo (still one of my all time favourite anime series; Miyata and Volg in the same room would drown anyone in angst, and everytime I re-watch the series I am reminded of the coolness that is Sendoh.)
+ Suikoden V (the recruitment process is slow and painful.)
+ Final Fantasy 12 (the ending is LOVE! So MUCH love! Fran and Balfear should have hot sex, except I kind of don't want to think of them having sex either....)
+ I am in the painful process of writing a coherent article on JoJo. The coherency is rather lacking but I am coming up with pretty descriptive titles fro each part.

One more thing; who on my flist likes Hajime no Ippo? I need to fangirl so much about this series (I always feel like fangirling about this series after re-watching it. Hmm, I will eventually post my proper fangirl post about the series sometime in the future.)

amei, d00d, you rock. Much love, beer and tissues.

I'm so behind on all my shounen reading (GB is different, one day I might even attempt to explain it but today is not that day). I have come to the realisation, actually I have realised this awhile back but never actually verbalised. Anyways, the realisation: I'm following Naruto not because it is a kick arse story or because I have an urge to see what happens next or even to see how the characters turns out. I'm reading Naruto for the sole purpose of keeping up with good Naruto fanfiction. This says quite a bit about both the series and about myself, neither of which I feel comfortable in thinking to deeply on. (This is to say, I'm a fanfiction whore, and it is sort of sad that K-sensei have this awesome cast of characters and a semi interesting plot, and the only reason I'm following the series is because of fanfiction. No chemistry or at least not enough to keep me interested. In hindsight, the only time Naruto made me really interested was when Orochmaru first appeared, during the fight between Neji and Hinata, and the conclusion of Naruto chasing Sasuke.)

G-Defend is ghei, ghei, ghei, ghei, GHEI!

perseid, the series is such brainless fluff, not terribly funny, not terribly heart wrenching (just addictive.) Shame on you. (I need more. More I tell you.)

Need to re-read the rest of Get Backers, the Card arc is still the most amusing. Ban in a CLAMP get up (all flowing robes and bizarre hats) and doing the kissing is an experience worth re-visisting.

Something I forgot to mention. nekomancy, you probably would like to know that I sat through ALL 26 episodes of AishiteruZe Baby in a day. It was an experience that should not be repeated. Like all shoujo it is damn addictive, and the dodgy aspects of the series disappeared after the first few episodes (thank the gods). I found myself liking every character though I admit the younger brother is just PERFECT! 'I am the Prince of Darkness' indeed.

On the gaming front: Kingdom Hearts is cool. I continue to kick arse. Either this game is easier than I thought or it is somehow clicking with me on every level possible.
