OMG, I <3 you. This made me giggle before bed.

On another note, I've never read One Piece.

I'm glad I made you giggle :D

Oh, when you have the spare time you should read One Piece. It's so much fun, and the characters and a lot of their powers are hilarious.

Well, it was implied that Chiaki and Nodame already slept together so it's really hard for them to have more squee after that. Maybe if Chiaki actually proposed marriage, or something...

Of course there's hope for your love life too! *hugs* THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE.

And that's coming from me, one of the most pessimist people in the world. Tee hee.

Nice icon, by the way. :D I love how Alphonse seems to have expressions on his face, even if it's all metal. Really great drawing style...

Full Metal Alchemist 100. Just, way to punch me in the gut, Arakawa.

It's interesting, Roy *is* a kind of secondary hero, but he's not a very independent one. If she dies, I question whether Roy can lead a country without her. I bet he has similar doubts - she's been his failsafe this whole time, and so I guess in a certain light, this can be looked at as a necessary test, but... I REALLY DON'T WANT HER TO DIE. *screams, runs into the night*

Yes, I know what you mean! Absolutely! *tearful bambi eyes*

I never thought about that... that Roy can't lead the country without Riza. I mean, he probably could, but he'd be feeling guilty about it the whole time. I mean, to claw your way to the top... with your success paved by the bodies of your dead friends. Ugh. This is very emo-inducing.

Any manga you want especially for Christmas? I go to bookstores and there's too much to choose from.

laurie_bunter November 5 2009, 14:08:15 UTC

:D Wow, my computer is working. *keeps my fingers crossed* Okay, I did some thinking and... pick anything from this list ( ... )

HMC> I've got the 1st tanko in English, the second in Chinese. I think I'll get the third and fourth in the original and in German, respectively.

After Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi aka Spirited Away, HMC's my favourite Miyazaki film to date. ^-^

LAURIE-TWIN~!!! I'm so sorry that I had to miss this while I was on hiatus for a bit. >_< The truth is, I'd read NodaCan around the same time as I told you that I would wait till your review of it to be out before doing so. Couldn't bear not knowing The End. >_<

What I am glad 'bout is that the mangaka had brought Chiaki and Nodame-chan back to the time of Noda's Mozart recital. It was pretty nostalgic. But even so, I'm still expecting the bessatsu NodaCan to give me the Chikai/Nodame piano concerto. ^_^ Aren't you glad that there'll be more?

I wonder if the mangaka will ever venture into a next-gen universe. Leopard-print kimono banzai!

Steffi <3

P.S. I've been missing ya. Is everything okay in Manila atm? I heard that there was going to be another typhoon passing through. >___
