Hmm been a while since I updated this… I finished Death Note, The Wallflower, and .hack//SIGN. I ended up starting One Piece afterward, and now am up to episode 121, though I still havent been watching much at all. Maybe two episodes a week. Hopefully I’ll be motivated to watch a bit more…

More "How I Did It" stories
How I did it: With a couple of friends becoming more interested in anime, it was easier to get recommendations, and we often watched anime during our regular video night (in lieu of a science fiction series). It does help with learning Japanese, although the language is not necessarily in common, daily usage in Japan (especially in business). Read how I did it…

After having enjoyed very much watching Whisper of the Heart the previous week I decided to watch another anime by Studio Ghibli today.
And again, while very different, this was very enjoyable. They’re so good at capturing subtle moods.
Funnily enough again I have a little back story on this: When it first came out in ‘93 I was asked if I could translate the title. And since there was kanji involved I was very proud to have come up with “I Can Hear the Ocean” for “Umi ga Kikoeru”. I see it’s now translated as “I Can Hear the Sea” or even “Ocean Waves”.
But finally having seen it now I still like my title better <g>.

- I was reminded of a certain summer vacation several years ago
- I remembered having read Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women on that vacation and having liked it a lot
- Now the reason I brought this book in the first place is because talking about it with a friend some months before that, I found out I already knew the story
- Turns out I had seen Little Women in an anime version long before I knew it was based on a book
- Yesterday I was on Wikipedia looking at these things and saw that the character designer that did that, Yoshifumi KondÅ, also did Whisper of the Heart
Easy ! lol
So I’ve just finished watching it and it is a very beautiful movie.
I forget how heartwarming these can be. Good stuff.

laurashambles is a Lifelong Learning Reinventing Builder, apparently.
I’ve finised NANA (I’m back reading the manga as well) and Genshiken and I’ve started watching Monster again but I don’t think I’ll finish it for a while. (It’s long and intense and amazing so I want to savour it.) I’ve watched some Fruits Basket, but I don’t think it’s really my thing. Not sure if I’ll continue. There’s also a web series called Eve no Jikan that I’ve really been enjoying… I just wish it didn’t take so long for the episodes to come out. =[
but i want to watch much more. ive only finished a few series and i would like to finish up the 14 series or so i have started and then watch a whole bunch more XD. hopefully i can work in an episode or two a day.
Anime i want to finish in the next few weeks:
- Death Note (23/37 complete)
- The Wallflower (17/25 complete)
- .hack//SIGN (13/26 complete)
- .hack//Roots (10/26 complete)
- TOKKO (6/13 complete)
Anime i want to start soon:
- D.Gray-man
- Code Geass
- Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl)
I really like anime but haven’t been able to see much of it lately. There are a few I want to rewatch (Trigun mainly), some I want to continue watching (Bleach, Naruto and One Piece), and some I want to watch for the first time (Hellsing, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Elfen Lied, Ninja Scroll, Akira, Full Metal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin, Grave of the Fireflies).
