Shugo Chara! Won an Award~!

[fuyumaiden]

Okay, I really just woke up (even though it's one PM here). Heh, I'm a master at getting sick.

But I feel the need to make journal entries when I see certain news on ANN and this is one of those occasions!

Shugo Chara! won Best Children's Manga at the 32nd Annual Kodansha Manga Awards! Celebrate with me!

Series like Fruits Basket and Honey and Clover

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This made my day.
It's pure AWESOME!!! Yep, yep. xD
So happy...

We should hold a party and stuff and stuff. x333

Congrats to Peach-Pit and SC!
Hope this means an extension on the anime (Satelight, you better be listening!) and all that other good stuff. Yes~... x333

I know! Isn't it just completely awesome news? It's probably too late for volume 4, but I expect that Del Rey will be publishing volume 5 with "Winner of Kodansha's Best Children Manga in 2008" or something printed on the back. The companies like to brag when they license something good.

Yes! A party is entirely necessary! Grab some balloons and some cake and ice cream as well!

It better mean an extension if Satelight has any intelligence at all. Shugo Chara!'s ratings keep going up, the merchandise is selling really well, and now the award for the manga. If they don't extend the anime...they have no sense at all.

Gah, I still have to order all the volumes out right now but I don't think I'll do that until after volume 5 is up for pre-order since the scans and most of the translations for the chapters in volume 4 are available online. Plus, I always order volumes in one big go (and I can't stand myself at times b/c of that). :/

And play DDR to Buono! songs and cookies and have a karaoke contest and more ice cream &&&... xDD;;

Yea, they'd miss out on the chance to get more money from so many die-hard fans (you don't even need to know business to know that). And while we're at it, we should totally discuss new potential stuff like the SC! movie and OVAs and omg, the list is endless! *happy!* xDD;;

All at once...whoa. I always go to Borders on Sunday or Monday and pick the books up early because they're always there since no one expects them to be out (Borders never pays attention to manga release dates, they just put them on the shelf as soon as they get them). But I am going to be ordering six volumes of the special edition of Shugo Chara! from Yes Asia all at once...once I have enough money. They each cost like 15 dollars plus crazy shipping. I think it's even too expensive for even me to think it's worth it...but I'm doing it anyways.

Yes! DDR (ha, even though I suck) and plenty of ice cream. And...heh, well we can watch the anime too (if theres time amidst all the madness).

A movie! I would love that! Actually, an OAV would be even better because I'd have to wait extra months to be able to watch the movie. Heh, but if by some miracle I won the lottery I would totally go to Japan just to see the movie in theaters (Amuto on the big screen! I can just imagine it!).

[xiao_jie88]

That's what I love about Borders (plus, they have more manga, too). x3
But wow, 6 special editions, eh? Cool (oh god, the shipping *shudder*)...I need to learn how to read Japanese so I don't have to buy the English version. Sometimes their translations just make go ugh. -.-;

I would ordermyminionstobringthetheaterto meh xDD;; love a movie, even if it's just major filler (a lot of them are like that). But if it's going to be a good movie, Ikuto must have at least the same amount of screen time as Amu.
...Amu should like get another egg (I saw a FLOW card of one on GW forum and its been stuck in my head for quite a while now). There, that's good starting material. Satelight (or whatever good movie studio), get to work! xDD;;

[fuyumaiden]

Heh, I'm going to Border on either Sunday or Monday to get my Shugo Chara! volume. Heh.
I'd probably still buy the English version even if I learn Japanese just because...it'd be easier if I want to read something quick...and I doubt I'll ever become and advanced reader or anything. Too much work.

The movie would probably go away from the main plot entirely though. But I can imagine there being another egg that would somehow just disappear by the end of the episode just so it doesn't disrupt the actual episode. That's how movies generally work. And Ikuto would probably show up more than he does in an episode of the anime anyways because movies like to just put every character in there as much as possible. So...someone needs to make this movie! It has been demanded!!!
