Many months ago I switched accounts to fletrir but then decided another move was in order so now I am as you see me: varices. Originally I was going to come on here awhile ago and say that I had moved to rhoecus but seeing as how I love this place and have worked hard to keep it maintained, I am offically announcing that I am

I have yet to watch Ao no Exorcist-what is that all about? Is it another anime about fighting demons/ghosts, etc? Also, does its main theme lie in the mystery category because I am a sucker for mystery/horror/paranormal anime genre's (though half of them end up being the same so idk why I keep watching them, hahah). Sorry to bombard you about this, but a lot of people have been talking about it on my livejournal as well as through other sites I inhabit that I wonder if I'm missing something. (Of course, I end up being a late joiner of fandoms, taking for example my late entering of the Tiger&Bunny fandom.)

Seriously? You are a man after my own heart-you have listed almost everything I love (and cherish from my childhood, though I'm still nineteen so I have no idea why I talk as if I'm thirty). I'm a Food Network lover, and I adore Musical Theatre, though I am also a fan of Mystery Theatre as that is where I can watch shows like Wallander and Sherlock (both the new BBC version and the old versions for kicks as they are in no ways awful). Game of Thrones I'm half-way with because I adore the fantasy/fantasy(esque) shows, but as per HBO standards it has enough sex in it to ruin the plot for me at times. It is an interesting show though for the most part, but personally I'd recommend the books more (though Sean Bean makes a good Robert).

I'm glad you enjoyed it and that I could prod some fandom squeeish from you (and introduce you into some fandoms as well)! We do not have to be friends if you are not friending at the moment, but it was nice to talk to you and sorry for the ranting, hahah.

Ao no Exorcist is about a teenage guy named Okumura Rin who seems to be living a normal life until suddenly, Satan comes in and says that he's his son (Rin also has a twin brother named Yukio but for some kind of anime-esque reason not to question logic of biology in anime, the demon gene didn't transfer to Yukio but went straight to Rin). Rin doesn't accept this until a priest that's been caring for the boys, tells him the truth. Not to give much away, Rin now is attending this academy (in which, to Rin's surprise, his twin brother is teaching there), in order to become an exorcis in order to exorcise Satan once and for all. It's kinda like Bleach in a sense that you have a main protagonist who wants to protect his friends and defeat the supernatural (it also helps that both Ichigo and Rin are 15, LOL). You also have likeable characters like the very older looking Suguro Ryuji (seriously, he looks like he's 20, LOL!), and the adorkable and loveable Shima Renzou just to name a few. Sadly, this is a monthly manga and it'll take ages to get to a story. There is an anime adaption too in which has 25 eps. This reminds me, I need to catch up on the manga, LOL!

you have listed almost everything I love

Aww that's very nice~! :) I love the Food Network and I love Theatre too. BBC's Sherlock is amazing (I even remembered watching the classic Granada series with Jeremy Brett back in Theatre class in High School and those were great as well). I need to read those Game of Thrones books one of these days because I've heard they're really good. :)

I really did enjoy this meme and I'm thankful enough that you've made it. :) It's okay for the ranting, it's quite interesting, LOL~ :D

Thank-you that helps me a lot! I know I could just (in essence) wiki this stuff but I like hearing it from people who have watched/read the series themselves. It is often true that you get no where questioning biology in the anime world. Half the time it just leaves you in confusion. Wow he does look like he is 20. Hahah some people's maturity genes (did I really just say maturity genes? Ugh, I mean hormones) just kick in a bit sooner than others I suppose. I will probably watch the anime first (lazy) before the manga, but I'll be sure to read the manga when times allows!

Yes I remember that show! This was not on Theatre classics but I use to watch Murder She Wrote too. Good times, good times. Man that makes me want to watch that show now. Game of Thrones is a fairly good book that while most fantasy/sci-fi novels leave me a bit ehing, GOT has a decent writer (who knows what grammar is), though his writing can at times come off being a bit dull. However, the characters are what really get you in GOT like most stories do, but it also has some really interesting thoughts/descriptions such as, "...We hold to the belief that the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die. One day, Bran, you will be Robb's bannerman, holding a keep of your own for your brother and your king, and justice will fall on you. When that day comes, you must take no pleasure in the task, but neither must you look away. A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is." When you actually watch the series you'll see it briefly mentioned in the show but not to this extent (sadly because it was a great quote, though if real people went on such long tirades about ethics in an action/fantasy based tv series most people would just die. I'd be fine but I'm not most people).

You are quite welcome! Hahah it is a sickness in my case (take the paragraph before as an example).
