    Watched the full 6 episodes of FLCL over the last few days – pretty wild and wacky, certainly different, bag of fun no doubt. Somewhere along the line hazy memories of Dangermouse sprang to mind – not entirely sure how or why. Furi Kuri!

    What you guys doing right now.

    Wondering if I’ve learnt anything in the last 2-3 years after having two fairly disastrous days whilst pretending to know what I’m doing. Tomorrow might just prove I was doing the right thing after all. But then again there's equal chance it won’t – there’s optimism for you :?

    What did you BUY today?

    A bonnet-hinge and 2 rear shock-absorbers – not sure I can afford such things but my poor car needs them. Should be bags of fun trying to fit them…

    What manga are you reading now?

    Half way through Aishituruze Baby vols. 1-3. Seems to casting its spell on me with the adorable Yuzuyu, plus there's potentially some deeper layers developing with Kokoro's character and past along with her relationship with/to Kippei.

    Where is everybody from?

    Fancy that..my grandparents lived pretty close to that area (Birkenhead) - number of years/decades ago now mind. I'm currently living in a village somewhere between Bingley and Ilkley.

    NANA, NANA, NANA. Finished it off in fact with my last insallment of episodes 46 & 47. Yasu with a pink afro! – that cracked me up completely, not to mention Shin in drag...that boy is just too pretty! Lol Never been sure if I could push myself to cosplay but I thought a Yasu with a big...

    Uni...again? Are you looking for a career change or improving your existing? (...not that I actually know what you do currently) Do you think £80 pounds will cover it? Wondered myself a number of times whether to go back to uni or not, but I guess I’ve gone down the self-study route in...

    Cranberry and orange cookie, proper cafetiere coffee, and my feet up for an episode or two of NANA...what else with my current avatar? (The cranberries in my cookie are completely coincidental with the above post btw)

    What you guys doing right now.

    Been loving the second opening theme to NANA by Olivia – it’s a real grower. It was growing nicely just when they switched the opening music for a third time! – “Wishâ€

    HMV Anime Day, Win Free anime for a year

    That's gotta be Beard Papa’s (I always think they have the name the wrong way round) My brother, knowing I’m a Japanese addict, took me there last time I was in London. Can’t remember what I thought of the cream puffs though – guess I’ll just have to have a few more next time I...

    NANA Ep.20+ Picking it up about where I left it about 6 months ago. Just caught the story up to where Volume 6 of the manga got me recently with about episode 25ish. Onward...

    Not sleeping....hmph. Having a look at how the currency markets are getting on and drinking a cuppa tea...as you do.

    Just a quick Hi! and wave

    If you notice, I did use the word ‘mature’ in inverted commons. As long as your posts are semi-intelligible, I'd say a sense of fun is far more important.

    ~The avatar thread~

    Nana O. from NANA - microphone in hand, on stage performing one would presume. Was overdue a change and I've just been reading the manga so seemed appropriate. Change in gender too :eek: (Not me, the icon!)

    J-Rock/Pop any fans here?

    Did hear a few tracks from the B’z – they seem to bang out some catchy tunes! One Japanese band that has caught my ears is Mucc/Mukku - on the heavier side of things, perhaps not too far away from Dir en grey. They remind me in places to the sound of the American band Korn, although this...

    J-Rock/Pop any fans here?

    Where’s Last.fm been all my life? Just been getting to grips with this and it turns out its not a half bad way to listen to a whole heap of Japanese music – J-rock, J-pop, J-whatever, anything tagged as Japanese essentially – stuff you might never have thought of or heard of, let alone...

    Just a quick Hi! and wave

    I’ll add my welcome to that. Nice to have a few more ‘mature’ anime fans on board – I was beginning to think I might be an endangered species! Perhaps it will encourage a few more to come out of the woodwork...

    What manga are you reading now?

    NANA Vol.4, 5 & 6 Simply a pleasure.

    1 word to describe your day

    Old. (33 today :?) McIcy - What are the chances?! Since I got here first, I'll just have to accuse you of stealing my birthday!

    What you guys doing right now.

    Trying to find my way around using Last.fm for the first time. Installed the software and thought some J-rock tagged radio would be a good place to start. Just wondering if there's anyway it can know everything that I've been listening to already with my ipod/itunes...
