Leefa would work cause she already looks like you. but I still would have thought you would have said Rei.

Hahaha the 100 ep animes get on my nerves! Why must they be so popular!! They have too much filler.

Most of the libraries I've been to in Melbourne have manga available to borrow. Its good that its more accessible now.

Welcome back, Linds. You haven't been here on ages funny how you're back when I was about to catch up to your post count hahaha.

Oh yeah, I have heard of Nadesico but I never watched it. It was one of those old anime that were on VHS and when I would watch Evangelion on VHS there would be an ad for it

Cruncyroll or you can download it as a torrent on Pirate Bay or you can buy the DVDs.

Idina Menzel is very talented. I have known about her for years and seen her acting and singing in RENT and WICKED. So happy that more people know about her now because of Frozen. My favourite songs are definitely For The First Time In Forever, Love Is An Open Door, Let It Go and then Do You Want To Build A Snowman. I really disliked Lion King 1.5, this is because I was hoping it to be a continuation of Lion King 2. I wanted to see more of Kiara!! I am a bit nervous for the new movie - I don't get how it can be about Simba's son????? Where was his son in Lion King 2??? Or was he born after Kiara grew up? It's pretty confusing.

You have great taste with Disney movies. Do you like Tangled as well? Everyone seems to love Frozen, the songs are so great. My favourite character in Frozen would definitely be Anna. I am also a big fan of the Lion King and I am looking forward to seeing the musical next year. Did you also like Lion King 2? Are you looking forward to the new Lion King movie/TV series?

Yes, I dislike ebooks! I will always prefer physical books until the very day that they are no longer accessible to me. My boyfriend keeps trying to convince me to own an ereader, he has even offered to buy me one but I said to him that its not the same and I would never want to own one. I don't care that an ereader is lighter and can store many books on the one device, its just reading books are not the same if I am not changing the pages with my own fingers! I am really going to be sad once ebooks fully take over

I definitely agree. I am surprised the amount of information that my boyfriend's parents know about me - all because of my boyfriend's siblings being my Facebook friends and them telling my boyfriend's parents what both of us are up to. Sometimes things can get confused as well - like there was one time when they thought they had been ditched for my friends because there was a pic of my boyfriend and me having lunch and we had to cancel dinner with them - it wasn't because we were with friends, lunch had happened earlier in the day but my boyfriend couldn't turn up to dinner due to other unforeseeable commitments. Even if I don't post much on Facebook, others will still find out more about me due to other friends tagging me in pictures or statuses. I don't mind people knowing what I am up to as long as they don't get confused. I think social networking sites are an excellent way to keep in contact with people - it has definitely helped me keep in contact with online friends' lives.

Or maybe it has more to do with there being a lot more newer anime fans out there who would have not watched the older animes.

Asuka from Evangelion of course!!! Mainly because she is already has a similar look and personality to me already. Another anime character I would like to be would be Lacus from Gundam SEED since I have always admired her and she is also very perfect too and I really like being perfect whenever possible though its impossible to ever truly to be perfect.

Showed my boyfriend one episode of Angel Beats the other day.

Hi Nights, Welcome to the forum and all the best of luck with being forum manager. I am sure you will do an excellent job. My name is Caroline. I am from Australia and I am the forum's global moderator. It is surely exciting to get new members on the forum and also, have a new staff member especially since most of us have been part of AN since it first started, so its always nice to see a fresh face! Toradora is a great anime. I enjoyed it very much but admittedly my favourite character in this series was the bird Glad to see that you like romantic comedies. Some of the romantic comedy animes are the best I have seen. I would highly recommend Lovely Complex if you haven't watched this already. Also what are your favourite Disney movies?

Have you watched the anime version?

The other day I finished rewatching Anohana. Wow still such a good anime, still makes me feel so sad!

Well I guess there are people who still care about all cartoons and anime we just don't know the other fans. Most of the shows I know are still well remembered by others - I guess I will go with Chrono Crusade? You don't see many websites about that anime or many cosplayers.

I really do not buy physical copies much anymore. If its a TV series I really like then sure I will buy the DVDs. CDs I don't buy at all anymore unless they are Taylor Swift and Delta Goodrem albums. I do still miss the days of the physical CD single. There were more CDs to collect and getting a CD signed at an instore is more interesting than getting a poster signed. Fortunately some singers still let you buy singles at instores that they have released just for that day.

New trailer! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-06-26/sword-art-online-ii-long-promo-video-reveals-sinon-stakes/.75996 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CKER1uSzV8

Yes, also known as Oreimo. The anime is based on the light novel series with the same name about a brother and sister that are not close. One day the brother discovers his sister is obsessed with anime particularly with sister related anime and games where the brother falls in love with the sister. At first he helps keep her hobby a secret but soon he helps her find friends that also like anime and also helps their family and friends accept that she likes anime which is considered very taboo to them since the otaku seem to have a bad name in Japan. I really enjoyed the first season. It showed some of the flaws that there are in the anime business when creating new anime (this is explored later on in the season, I won't mention this too much since I do not want to spoil anything). Season 2 is alright but not as good as season 1, I felt the ending ruined season 2 completely but it is definitely still worth watching.

Yes, I am a fan. I watched the anime and loved it. It was very suspenseful that is for sure. I have also watched the live action movies.

My favourite chocolate I went to the Enchanted Maze in Arthur Seat yesterday. Lots of fun there were many mazes including rope mazes, Japanese garden mazes and a 3D maze. The 3D maze was a bit trippy though since there was a bridge. The bridge would turn sideways and it was pretty scary. One of my poor friends just froze on it and it took a while to convince him to get off it since he was so scared. I also went on the tube slide which is a slide where you have to sit in a big rubber tyre, I was very scared but my boyfriend convinced me to go on it, I rode it twice. Pretty scary both times! It looks not scary while watching others do it but being on it is a different thing!

About time there was a blog I look forward to seeing it. I bet it is about your recent Japan trip?

Nice to see they are adding new items onto their menus. What do you think of the chips? What types of dipping sauces are there to choose from? How healthy are these, I wonder, could they ruin the healthy reputation of Subway... hmmmm. I really don't eat much at Subway but if I do, I get cookies! What's your favourite Subway bread and toppings?
