On to the Twilight Manhwa…when I first heard of it I was furious. I’m really rather tired of Twilight taking over every aspect of an EVERYONE’S life. From an Author’s stand point, while well written, it lacked any actual plot or moral value, it was just a love story that in the end, was rather predictable. At one point, I enjoyed the books, but since then all of that enjoyment has been killed by these fangirls that have jumped on the Twilight bandwagon just because everyone else loves it. They are obsessed and if you say one word against Twilight (And God forbid, the “perfect” Edward Cullen) it’s like tempting the damn apocalypse. I really find myself just wishing the entire series would go away, it infuriates me. And the fact that they are taking that an giving it an adaptation in my snug and happy Otaku world has angered me beyond belief. I feel that the anime/manga universe and the American entertainment universe are two spheres that shouldn’t touch. I do not want to hear obsessive fangirl rants over the Twilight Manhwa when I can barely handle Twilight as it is. The entire thing just angers me in so many ways it’s unreal. And the fact that Stephanie Meyer is so wrapped up in the project kind of pisses me off too. If I were her I would want nothing to do with it and rather be sick of hearing about the success of my own story right about now….Okay, second rant over.

And on to Inuyasha! I’m so excited for this! While I’m not as dedicated to Inuyasha as I once was, I truly love the series. It was among the first anime I watched, and along with Sailor Moon, tempted me into the entire Otaku world. I was rather upset with the way they ended the original series, so this adaptation is going to be great for me. I doubt I’ll keep up on it regularly though, I’ll probably just wait for it to finish and then go through and watch the entire thing. ^.^

I know it’d messy, but I’ll color it if you like.

For adaptations, I basically just feel that if something can reach the same conclusion with the same sort of “feeling” behind it, it’s okay. Agh…hard to explain, but I hope you get what I mean.

I immediately went into Twilight disliking it somewhat I think, before the rabid fanbase evolved the way it did because it was being called “The Next Harry Potter” and I was obviously skeptical, since “Harry Potter” was the first book of its kind. I was right since I read the back of the book and immediately wanted to barf. I hate romance-focused books. They always come out horribly mushy and just “bleh” to me.

Karen: THat’s exactly it! The movie had its flaws, I’m just more willing to forgive this time because it was so damn fun. But yes…I missed the kissing scene where Harry just goes for it in front of the whole Gryffindor house.

Kotoni: Aww…a non-Harry Potter fan. But I have to say, that’s the one thing I appreciate Twilight for. Everyone realizes that there is much worse out there than a slightly childish series of books with a corny good vs. evil story. Sparkly vampires are much worse on the cornball scale. As is almost any romance-focused book.

Haha~ They do both love kitties~ That’s a great thing to add. I’m keeping it in mind.

Amutofan123: Same for me. One of the few I like because there’s enough girls (and romance~) to offset all the boring action!

Kelly: And even better! We’re both willing to admit it! Too many fans abandon the anime that really brought them to anime.

Seinime: From what I read it’s picking up where it left off, right until the end!

Murasaki: Yes, they did. But I always knew we were getting 1-3 memories at most. The ring was explained away easily as “his mother’s ring” so I think it’s okay. I’m only wishing that the last memory was included as well, with Voldemort asking for the job.

I wonder how you even cosplay as them aside from adding gross amounts of body glitter. It’s just regular clothes.

Snowflakes: Ah. Well, it kind of does. I’d say it’s really half and half. But it was so much fun. and since it’s the last movie at school, I feel like you can let it slide.

Xiao Jie: My crazy fangirling has subsided as well. But…well it’s like a little 12 year old starts jumping around inside me whenever something new comes out. Except when it was the books, I still adore those. You just have to admire how much thought was really put into them. So much foreshadowing and…ah~ It’s beautiful. That is why I get offended whenever someone compares Harry Potter to the Twilight books which apparently each were based off of a dream and took mere months to write. The HP books all took about a year each, plus all of that planning JK Rowling did for the whole story beforehand. Bah…Twilight.

Oh god yes, the plaid too~ (And I second Spring! I have Fall to tide me over until then, so SPRING!!!)

Of course. I’ll dust it off and bring it with me to NYAF. No disciplining when I’m Nagisa though. Part of my elitist nature requires me to act like the character I’m cosplaying.

They won’t be coming for a couple of months…I think my earliest right now is September.

Yup, I’m coming in August AND September. August for “research” (and my birthday~) and then September for NYAF.

It’ll only be for three days, I doubt I’ll get to see much. Most of the time will probably be spent just trying to survive (I have a horible sense of direction).

mo0on12: Well it was a wonderful MAD of course~ And it just hit both of my biggest weaknesses (for series~) at once.

Well, it turned out that I didn’t have the time to blog it this week, but the reaction via Twitter: “I SAW KUKAI AND UTAU STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER IN THE PREVIEW!!! There will be much fangirl spazzing next week.”

NinjaSheik: You only have to wait until Fall. Lucky, eh?

Choux: Oh~! Now I want to see~! *waits anxiously patiently*

Mikey: It must be my special fangirl magic.

Well, if you watched the dub first, that’s enough of a reason. I might still have preferred the dub if Kagome’s voice didn’t start bothering me to no end.

Ah! Maybe I’ll see you at NYAF then. You may just be able to spot me wearing my easily recognizable Amu outfit or as Nagisa.

warriorhope: *sigh* It did make more sense in the movieverse, but I’ll miss Ginny’s jokes and…stuff. Well, like I said, her “spunk” but the movie version Ginny is still pretty good.

Oh god, I almost don’t want Little Busters! because there’s already so much!!

blossomgirl101: Ooo, maybe~ Let’s just say that I had that in mind all along.

I’m starting to realize now that it’s an accomplishment that I did finish the series. Every single filler and everything. I’m just glad they made it worth it in the end by deciding to finish it off after all.

I will second that! I think it’s partially because female manga-ka won’t worry about making it all pandering for the boys. The male lead doesn’t have to be a complete loser, because the female manga-ka knows that girls don’t really like complete losers. Obviously.

God, most shounen have insane amounts of shipping, so when I was a newer fan I went into them expecting something like InuYasha, but there was barely anything to ship with and I never latched onto any couples…because there weren’t any.
Ohoho~ There is going to be an awwwsome scene (and if you get shot for that pun, I need to be too, because I’ve used it far too much )

OH GOD THEY WILL! But then they’ll attach themselves to popular series like Shugo Chara…and I’ll have to kill myself.

7: Psh. No it won’t. I’ll be taking care of all the Sora no Manimani images myself!

Rin: It’s long if you’re not reading it weekly as it’s published. That way it seemed to go by fairly quickly for me. Just five minutes to read it once a week.

I’ll refrain from saying anything about your camp counselors. Honestly, people just overreact about every movie because they loved the books so much. Compared to the past, this one was done very well. It’s different from the book, but this time it was still entertaining and kept the overall mood.

No, I think you misunderstood me. No one is going as Twilight characters yet. There’s the fear of them going because there are currently graphic novels being written for them.

Um…and I’ll be my elitist writer self for a moment and say that the book was really good in an entertaining way for writers. I wouldn’t call it “really good” from a literary standpoint.

That new Harry Potter movie. I heard from the camp counselers that it was a total let-down. I’ve only read 4 of the books so I don’t really know what happens, so I’m being lazy and depending on the movies.

It’s awfully surprising that people are going as Twilight characters at an anime convention. That’s totally stupid. Twilight is a book and or movie that is more popular than it needs to be that was created by an American author(I don’t consider anything created by American authors as anime). There aren’t even graphic novels for it. It’s just a really good book that was turned into a horrible movie. I wonder how people were able to pull off the sparkly skin part though.

Also…more lack of pictures makes Fuyu a sad girl. Where’s my Sora no Manimani images, guys? I could spam them 24/7!

Hopefully, that will soon change when I launch my screencapping site.

Anyways, wow. After all these years I thought Inuyasha was completed and done with. But it really isn’t surprising. I was a fan of Inuyasha, but I never finished the series. >_< But anyways, it sounds good. ^_^ And an OVA just from manga material? It really is a shounen miracle.

I never knew it was by a female mangaka, but that makes it all the more better. For some reason I think female mangakas are better at making the romance more believable and well, just better (there are some exceptions I believe though). Hence why shoujos are usually made by females. xD They make it more consistent. Probably why a lot of females love Inuyasha too. It’s got that nice romance tied into it, rather than just the side stuff like most shounen. I shouldn’t be stereotyping though. xDD Hope I explained that okay. :/
But anyways, omg~ the promo pic looks like there’s going to be an “awww”some scene (*gets shot for terrible pun that was originally unintentional*).

Whoa, that is pretty creepy. o_o

More reasons to fall in love with Fall, the winning season. ^^

Kyaa!~ That SC M@D video was terrific! *fangirls over all of it* Hmm…cosplaying as one another, that sounds interesting. xD

Will be looking forward to your posts as usual~ ^_^

Grr… When I first heard the news I reacted with multiple emotions, lol. Sort of ._. first, then O_O, then “Nuu!!!111″, and now just D:< rage~ It's just upsetting how much closer it is to the anime fandom. Next thing you know, Twilight fans of the manhwa alone will be considering themselves "real" manga fans…somehow. Um, I don't get how they would cosplay as Twilight because, like you said, they dress up in normal clothes. -_- I guess they'll use it as an excuse if they don't cosplay or something. But it would definitely be a totally lazy cosplay.

Mamas ftw!~
