This is my little kinda' everything page (as the title sez). There'll be alot of stuff about anime over here, so you'll have to bear with me..this page will always be under construction, coz I'll be trying to find ways to improve the way it looks and all, so expect to see it have a few different looks every year (hehhe....it should have a different look every month...but I'm really busy with school and stuff, so I'll do what I can with it). I should update it at least once a month, I'm thinking, but I can't guarantee anything, but yea, I'll do what I can.=) Enjoy your time here!

So sorry I haven't updated for about a month and more!!!I think that I'll have to say here to not expect more than one update one month because I'm becoming increasingly busy with a whole ton of exams. Anyway, just wanted to say that I've added an 'Akuma na Eros' page, dedicated to Shinjo Mayu's newest series.
Aaaaaah!!!!Gomen, gomen, honto niii gomen nasai!!!Suman yo!!!-_-;I'm so sorry everyone!!!I haven't updated the page for like 2 months or so!!!*tones down a bit*Its got something to do with my mock exams, ton of art h/w, and schoolwork, and also Pagebuilder taking a damned long time to load. Anywayz, I'm back, and while I'm at it (takes a deep breath) Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Chinese New Year, Happy Chap Goh Meh and Happy Valentine's Day!!I realize that my Sign Guestbook link hasn't been working -_-;damn, took a much too long time to figure that out!!!I've fixed it now, so you guys had *better* sign it!!!
I'll update as much as possible...what I'm wondering now is how to get all my song stuff up for you guys....oh well....I guess that you'll just have to settle for Napster, coz my connection's too slow for me to upload stuff on to the Geocities server..You'll be able to find me as kouri_kurayami there.
I've just finished playing Final Fantasy IX;it was absolutely fantastic, you have *got* to play it, (please don't discriminate the game just because of the size of the characters!!) Zidane and Dagger look sooooo great together!!!^_^
I've been bz downloading a whole ton of Japanese rock and pop music of the net ^_^.I've got all the Fushigi Yuugi novels now, its just a matter of time of scanning them and putting them up here. Btw, the FY gaidens are being animated right now, and you should be able to watch them on SKYPerfecTV in Japan.^_^Alriiiiiiite, baby!!!Its just a matter of time as well until fansubbers pick it up to subtitle, or until somebody licenses it! Can't wait!
If you want to talk to me on message boards and stuff, you can find me on ffonline.com and FF:WA as kouri, and on thelairboards.cjb.net as kouri kurayami.
On ffonline, you'll find me most on the Anime Discussions board, and sometimes in the FFIX board. In FF:WA, you'll find me on the FFIX and Anime board again-->I frequent FF:WA most frequently, so PM if you want to , just to talk to me about Anime, my site, or FFIX. On thelairboards, you'll find me as a mod for the FFIX board there. The 'thelairboards' are still partly new, so just come and have a look-see for yourself!! firedragon is currently looking for some mods on the other boards there, so you might be able to get yourself a place if you hurry!!^_^
I should be putting up a links page pretty soon, so you don't have to scroll through all my links and stuff just to find a site that you want to go to. I've also gotta archive some of my rants and stuff soon. Just don't expect too much out of me coz I've got a load of schoolwork to cope with among other things, and I most probably won't be able to update next weekend because I've got a Bio field trip on!!So...ciao for now!
Updates done today
Johnny's Junior page
Sign Guestbook link fixed
Weird text on FY novels page fixed
Waaaaaaaaaaaah!!!Noooo!!!I just found out that two of my pals are gonna be leaving skool to go to Australia (like forever!nooo!!!)next year in January!!!It's kinda put me into a kinda deep funk, right now..*brightens up* on the other hand, I've scanned some pix of my fave celebrities in the Japanese industry over here, and I'm also gonna create a page *just* for the Fushigi Yuugi novels here. I should be able to get everything up by tonight, I guess;I've currently got the Chichiri, Tasuki, Hotohori, Nakago, and both the Eikou Den novels.I'll be getting the Nuriko and Amiboshi/Suboshi novels this weekend-->they've both arrived too!^_^;But I'm becoming increasingly broke here, what with buying the novels, and also Japanese magazines, and my subscriptions to Sho-comi. I'd say that its worth it, tho!!^_^I'll try to get the Arashi single files up soon, and I'll c'ya'll around!!!
I've finally found a Mp3 encoder, and I'll be putting up mp3s for your listening pleasure soon. I am only putting them up for you to sample, ok?Please delete them within 24 hours if you do not own the CD. Today, I'm gonna be posting the new single from Arashi, called 'Kansha kange ame Arashi', the theme song from the drama 'Namida o fuite'. Enjoy!!!Click here to get to the Arashi single page that I've put up for it.
Whoo! Just got back from skool like half-an-hour ago, from Mufti Day. I'm still in my *floating* mood ^_^eheeeheh. I'm really happy that I got to see my old pal Ann today, and also b-coz (hehehe) I got a picture taken with my -uh- boyfriend's (at least that's what all my friends are calling him, and also my pet brother's saying the same thing---not that anything's actually -happened-, and nope, we're not going out yet tho), hand on my shoulder, (both with my friends, and just the two of us alone)and it felt---good---^_^--ehehe. I'm sooo happy ^_^mmm-->and my friends and his friends are kinda making fun of us (I guess that's to be expected). He also won 3 prizes for the Raffles draw, and was grumbling about how unfair it was that all the people who bought only a few raffle tickets got the best prizes (hey, the PSX 2 went to a Primary kid!!!)and stuff. My pal Gurmeet was one of those mentioned-->she only bought one ticket, and she won 3rd price!!A camera!!!!Geez--some people get *all* the luck (hmm....I do too!!!In love!!!) My hands are now all orange, from doing Henna paintings today, and its kewl!! Anywayz, I've found *yet* another nice Ayashi no Ceres site-->its kewl<--and its right over here. Hm....I'll be getting back to my college applications, the Playstation and also Final Fantasy VIII now (yes, I -still- haven't finished it!!!), so I'll update the next time as soon as possible!!!Hmm...I've changed the layout-->like it???Tell me what you think!!!
Waaaaaugh!!!I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating this page for sometime!!!(so sorry so sorry so so so so so sorry!!!)I've been trying to sort out things at school, and also sorting out my *so-called* lovelife (my friend/crush/big like, asked me out to prom on Monday, and I've been kinda -floating- on Cloud 9, to say the least, and we've been trying to sort out our feelings for each other the whole week long)^_^ being really happy rite now. In the process, I've also started watching Weiss Kreuz, and I've been all over the net, reading fanfics and stuff and all, and finding info about Weiss, and downloading mp3s and winamp skins. I've found 3 really good winamp skins on www.winamp.com at the Skins-->Anime-->Weib Kreuz section (you have to type it in the search box) or Aya, Omi and Yohji (zat how you spell his name?).hehehe, so you all have to bear with me while I'm still in my floating mode....^_^
Ok, ok, I take that back...I've been bz doing my friend's belated birthday present of Squall (first try..looks terrible...help!!!), and I haven't finished typing up HSK (read 10th Nov. rant), and so, it isn't up yet..But, since you guys dun wanna be scrolling all over the place for the link to http://www.lizzard.net/Escaflowne, I've decided to include the banner here, for Webmistress Lizzard's site. I recommend you to go visit it, it is absolutely great.
Just thought that I'd add a few links that I've found particularly interesting during the past few days....
1)an amazingly excellent kinda re-write of ShinSeiki Evangelion (Neon Genesis Evangelion) to Neon Exodus Evangelion. Almost totally the same cast (seems that there's no Shinji *in what I've read so far*, no Kaworu -_-*aw man!*and 2 new characters who are the 4th and 5th Children)..what can I say, you have to read it by yourself, and trust me, it is absolutely amazing. Click here to get to this site
2)a totally superb Ayashi no Ceres site, with episode downloads, winamp skins, stationery(yep, you read right), wallpapers and icons. The layout is totally cool and unlike some sites which have video episodes that you can't download to your computer, this is *finally* one site at which you can. Click here to get to this site.
Update
I'll be adding the first translation of "High School Knights"by Natsuo Kume sensei. I'm almost done with it, just a couple more pages to go and typing to do..with luck, it should be up by tomorrow; I'll add pix of the characters as soon as I have time to scan, and go on the net some more.
Hey pple!^_^, just thought that I'd put a little chibi of Ayanami Rei up here that I was drawing in B.M. class. I'll get it coloured in as soon as I figure out how to use Photoshop (scratches head absently while clicking around on Photoshop). In the meantime, go to Anipike.com for a whole list of sites on a load of anime!!!^_^I'll update again soon...
Hey everyone!!I'm back again with some more stuff. I'm so happy ^_^ coz I got my Eikou Den Fushigi Yuugi novels, and also my subscription to Shocomi yesterday. I've scanned the Eikou Den covers for ya'll so enjoy a look at them!! If you want to use the pix, please ask me first, more often than not, I'll let you use it, but if I surf to your homepage and find my image there, and happen to know that you haven't asked me about it....you'd better watch out. Ask me at this address: [email protected] The cover for Eikou Den 1 is here, and the cover for Eikou Den 2 is here. When I get around to reading it, I'll put a summary up and I *might* consider scanning some of the pix in the novels-->when I get the time!!!I didn't get to download any AnC episodes on Saturday -_-
my cpu didn't seem to want to download anything, and GetRight messed my computer up, and kept terminating the connection!!!Oh well, guess I have to wait until that's subbed too...
Let's yak about Shocomi-->I can't believe that Kaikan Phrase is *finally* coming to an end *phew*, its been getting worse and worse (n/o to the Kaikan Phrase fans there;heck I'm one too!!)coz its like in every volume of manga that's been out there are definitely sex scenes in it. I've been tired of skipping pages and pages and pages of it, its getting boring...also, I'm wondering where the e.mu, and the other characters have disappeared to...its like one minute they're there and the next they're gone!!!How weeeirdd....I wish that Shinjo Mayu sensei would finish that part of it up....I'm also getting sick of seeing so much Aine and Sakuya....I think that anime is better(from what I hear on the KP mailing list..). I'm so relieved that the next issue of Shocomi will mean the end of Kaikan Phrase. The real bands that were gotten out of the anime are really cool tho...
Lucifer's songs are really rockish..^_^mmmm!!!For info about the real-life band, go to Natsumi's page, its the most informative page on Lucifer in english that I've seen so far on the net. No links have been seen on e.mu yet, but I've been looking around...oh well.
For info about the manga/anime, go to Riven's page-->presently its got a kewl Yuki layout. I've got a page on Kaikan Phrase too, but there's like nothing on it, so I won't give you the link for it.
About all the other series running in Shocomi, I like Yuu Watase sensei's 'Imadoki!'(she is da bomb mangaka man!!!No one can compare to her!She does great storylines, and great drawings too!), Iori Shigano sensei's 'Ijiwaru Darling' (so kewl her drawings!!I luv 'em all!!), Aqua Mizuto sensei's "Milk Crown High",Aya Oda sensei's ''Magic Tower Pass' and Yuna Anisaki sensei's "LUV~Ai to ka, koi to ka.~". I also like stuff from Natsuo Kume sensei-->I've only seen 'High School Knights' from her so far...I like it tho!!There's this one guy who kinda looks like Allen from Escaflowne, come to think of it!!!^_^
I've got fanart and stuff too, that I've done, and some personal art too...I'll put them up now. I've got a Ceres one done in paint and pencil here, and one of my own artworks here. I've got some more somewhere...just need to go and look for them ^_^That's all for 2day!!!
Allright babyyyyyyyyyyy---!!!I've found a page which sells anime!!(Incidentally, its the same page where I tried to download the Escaflowne movie but failed. Talk about weird.o_O)If you wanna try your luck with downloading the movie like I've tried to, go to this page http://www.citeweb.net/autelanime/escaflowne/movie.html. And to buy anime? Here. The person (gomen!!!I don't exactly know the webmaster/mistress' name!!!)has anime on VCDs, DVDs, VHS and also on CD-ROM form. As far as I know, VCDs, CD-ROMS, DVDs and VHS all cost the same: US$7/10$ Canadian.
Shipping rates;I think I'll just list them here, if you kinda want the info now, and can't be bothered to go to the person's page to look at the stuff (the real info is on the person's page, tho, I give full credit to that person, and I will say that the following info is not mine!)
Europe
1 to 4 CDs:US$5
5 to 8 CDs:US$7
9 and above-->now you'll have to visit the site to get the webmaster's address.
Canada(the price is charged in Canadian dollars)
1 to 4 CDs:CA$2
5 to 8 CDs:CA$3
9 and above-->contact the webmaster
1 VHS:CA$3
2 VHS:CA$4
USA
1 to 4 CDs:US$3
5 to 8 CDs:US$4
9 adnd above:you should know the drill by now, huh?
1 VHS:US$4
2 VHS:US$6
Other countries
Basically the from around US$4 to US$12; no specific stuff said for which country tho...you'll have to inform the person (which is what I'm about to do now!) which country you live in, and she/he will be able to tell you how much it costs.
The person has got a *really* wide range of stuff, from the Record of Lodoss War, Tenchi Muyo, Neon Genesis Evangelion and (of course), Escaflowne. So yea, I guess I'll go and get all the info from the person first, and if its not too expensive, I'll buy the stuff..
What else is new? Well, other than me having updated the page twice today (just these updates tho, nothing else around the page yet), I've found a site for the downloading on Episodes 1-5 of Ayashi no Ceres, its Petit Charat Anime (yes!!I can finally watch AnC!!!).Wonder just how long it'll take to download one ep -_-;...
On Wednesday, we had field events @ school; I took discus and javelin. I got 6th place (-_-;)for javelin, and 2nd for discus(^_^)-->first time in my life that I've won a medal...pretty lame huh?=)heheh.
You can tell that by now I'm a heeeeuge anime fan. I've watched:

Ah! My Goddess (both the chibi version and the original)
and also a few other animes that I've no idea of what the names are, coz I didn't know Japanese back then.
I also read a lot of manga too! I have a bi-weekly subscription with Kinokuniya to Shoujo Kommiku (a.k.a Sho-comi), and I've got over 40 manga in my room alone, without counting all the phonebook like Shocomi!

Cya guys!!!
Hi everyone!!I'm back after about a week of not updating anything!!As mentioned, I do have a lot of school work, and exams coming up pretty soon, so I'm kept quite busy.
Anyway, I finished the Escaflowne series on Wednesday night...kinda sad ;_; since it ended, and I hate the fact that they can't be together!!!Just why can't they be together, anyway? Geez.....well, anywayz, I've been looking all over the place for a site at where I can download the movie....wish I'd been in U.S when they had that Anime Convention!!!Damn!!!this is so unfair!!!!Does anybody exactly know when they're gonna release it on DVD in Japan or anything?Coz I cannot wait to see it. I've been trying to download it on this page, but it doesn't seem to work.-_-;oh crap!!!Well, guess I'll just have to wait for it to come out....I can't even get the soundtrack here!!!!!AAAAAAAAagh!!!
But I've found a really good link on the Escaflowne movie, thanks to visiting Venkarel's page (fyi, it isn't about Escaflowne, its a whole mixture of stuff, so don't just go barraging through it if you want to find Escaflowne stuff, coz you won't be able to find all the info that you want there!!).
The page is http://www.lizzardnet.com/Escaflowne . Its the best page that I've seen so far on the net that has a review, a sypnosis, and also the mp3s for the movie soundtrack. The layout is pretty kewl too, and yea, everything is basically just really great =)
Cya'll soon!!!!
Added Van's profile to the Escaflowne Characters page (no spoilers). Click here to get to it. Still watching Escaflowne, 4 more episodes left to go. Yay! Folken's back on the good side again!!Ureshi ureshi!I'm pretty happy right now, as you can see ^_^.I enjoy editing this page, its fun =).Yikes, 1 more day until mid-term break ends -_-, and then back 2 school, homework, and tests..ack!!! Then I won't be able to update this page so much!!!nooooo!!!! *Sigh* longing to get my grubby little hands on the Escaflowne movie sound track, and I'm waiting for the Escaflowne movie :A Girl in Gaea to come out on DVD/VCD....wish I could have been at the Anime Expo 2000!!!!Sigh.....now I've gotta wait for the subs to come out ......oh well...
Escaflowne Rantings-Love triangles/Love lives in Escaflowne/the topic of loneliness
"Nee, aishitara, dare mo ga konna kodoku ni naru no?"
"Hey, does everybody feel this lonely when they're in love?"
Technically speaking, peoople in love shouldn't feel lonely right? People in love are supposed to be happy and all coz they're in love right? I mean, its like, love, where you've got someone who you love, and someone who loves you back right? So what exactly do the lyrics of the opening theme of Escaflowne mean?
Well then, think again. There's the returned love (what was mentioned above), and then there's the unreturned love which happens more often than not. You see this kind of situation happen quite a lot in Escaflowne. People might think that Escaflowne series is a sappy series because of what I just said. I assure you that it is not. In no way is it sappy. It contains a whole load of wars and stuff, and giant robots(yea yea, I know, its not the correct term, but pple out there who have never watched Escaflowne won't understand what a guymelef is rite?So there1=p)=>actually, kinda like the Evas that you see in Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is one of the best animes that I've ever seen, and a lot of people other than me would tell you the same thing too. Well then...let's go on to my ramblings!!!click here
Copyright for Escaflowne goes to Bandai Visual, Emotion, Sunrise, and all the respective copyrighters to it. I claim no right to the Vision on Escaflowne, so don't sue me!!!^_^, besides you probably wouldn't gain much!!!
