Decided I wanted to buy a comic today, so I went to the Comics Connection in Bedok and bought Gunslinger Girl vol. 1. I've known about it for quite a while already (since like before June) and was planning to get the manga 2 weeks ago, but in all honesty I didn't know the price - and for good reason too. One book - Chinese version - costs $9.15 (Compared to less well-known ones which go for about half the price). I'm going to totally wipe out my savings if I want to make a collection.
But it is GOOD. The drawings are like "whoa!" and the guns are very detailed down to the last notch on the side of the Fabrique Nationale P90. But the story is the best part. xD But I can just see my money disappearing.
That's all for today.

Hiatus.
I have not posted for a year already (I went off blogs a year ago). As proof that I am still alive, besides totally recreating my blog, I shall now post as I deem fit.
My current theme is, most unfortunately, not cross-browser. Once I have found the problem I will then tackle it and attempt to make it cross-browser compatible (seeing as IE sucks).
Go for Opera or Firefox. Honestly.
NPCC sucks now - ironing the freaking uniform is tedious, putting on the buttons is irritating and the worst part is pinning on the badges. Great contrast to that post down there.
DeviantART still rocks, though they changed their theme. Now it's more streamlined and makes for easier access.
Well, what have I done in the period that I was away? Well, mostly I got hooked on anime... though it's not really the more popular ones like Gundam Seed (well, I'm hooked on that too.) What I do like are more of the romantic kinds... xD Something's wrong with me.
More info on my favourites:
Maburaho - harem/magical girl genre
A guy, Kazuki Shikimori, with a real limited magic capacity finds himself the object of affection for three sweet young things: Miyama Yuuna, Rin Kamishiro and Kazetsubaki Kuriko. Nothing new here besides the underlying theme of magic. Still, the character design and effects are pretty good.
Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ - romance genre
One of my favourites, Mahoraba is about a guy, Shiratori Ryuji, who moves into an apartment in Tokyo to enrol in an art school. This apartment is Narutaki-sou, a charming little villa that looks very out of place surrounded by the skyscrapers of modern Tokyo. Here he meets the landlady, Kozue Aoba, whom he takes a liking to, and the other eccentric tenants... very refreshing storyline, but the male and female leads are REALLY boring. But that's why I like them, because they so resemble real-life people. xD
Kanon - supernatural, romance
Actually a relatively old anime. The original story came from an eroge by Key games, but it is actually very good in terms of plot. The main character is Yuuichi, a guy who returns to Hokkaido after fourteen years, and moves in with his cousin, Nayuki, and her mother. Along the way he meets other girls, most of them having met him during his last visit fourteen years ago. Slowly as his memory returns, he finds out that most of these girls harbour secrets he never knew about. A very moving anime, and the main character is not at all boring, because unlike male leads in most female-dominated casts, he actually has a personality and a tendency to be rather mean. xD
AIR - romance genre
Still in progress. xD
Zero no Tsukaima - romance/magical girl genre
Set in a alternate world where there is such a thing as magic, Zero no Tsukaima centres around the two leads, Saito and Louise. Still in progress, actual screening hasn't even finished yet. For more info just Wiki it.
Other animes that I watched:
- Gundam SEED Destiny
- Fullmetal Alchemist
- Ai Yori Aoshi
- Naruto
- The Melody of Oblivion
- Monster
- Ragnarok: Mythic Detective Loki
Remember, Wikipedia gets you anywhere. xD
