Sorry it took me so long for this, but I had to learn lots of Kanji and didn't really have the time to translate anything. But now I finished it finally. It has not been properly proofreaded, so if you find some faults, just post them.
But for now, enjoy!

For Direct-Download Links for Ch. 01 and 02, go over to sscans (they're friends locked though).

Yay, I started a new project (*inner voice: finish the other one first!*) and I finally finished the first chapter. It's not perfect though as it hasn't been proofreaded by anyone with English as their first language. So, maybe some of you guys can point out the mistakes (if there are any). And now: ENJOY! Yay!

Grimms Manga Chapter 1 in English
	Grimms Manga by Kei ishiyama

So yeah, I've just seen the Bucket List (good movie) and decieded "Hey, I need to do such a thing too!" and so I will.
10 things I want to do in my life (and trying to keep it as realistic as possible)

1. Make as many people and beings happy as possible.
I think this point belongs on everyones list even if it sounds totally cheesy.
2. Work for some animal rights / rescue thingie.
Yeaahhh for real, I always wanted to do that - why not do it in Japan? As long as it's not Peta.
3. Getting a comic published.
If I would finally start to practice my drawing and think of a story this wouldn't bee too much of a problem...
4. Visit *takes a breath* the US (especially my family there), China (some parts at least), Thailand (once more), Japan (definately :D), and Kim in Australia (need to go to a Metal concert with her). Actually I want to see as many places as possible. The earth's big and beautiful. It's too much of a waste to not see a smuch of it as possible. ^^
5. Getting all the My little ponies I want and give them as a gift to little girls and collectors before I die :D
6. Visit the Osamu Tezuka museum (since the guy's already dead and so the "get a Tezuka autograph in my BJ Hardcover book" is quite impossible. Damn >.<)
7. Riding a horse somewhere out in nowhere (and do some camping.)
Hey, horses are kinda cool and I only sat on them twice and never for long, so I need to change that.
8. Get a "Dr." title in whatever subject I manage that. Dr. Amstalden. Awww that sound~
9. Find the guy of my life.
Would be cool at least. Otherwhsie I'll have to do all those points on that list myself :D
10. Make my parents proud~

Soo that's it. Some points are farely easy to do if you really want it - but it was intended to be realistic after all.
So, and what about you guys? I wanna know! Everyone post! I know you read it!

And it fits with ma glasses XD

Fits quite well (except for the sports thing. What the hell! :D)

Happy Birthday! Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! Omedetô! Bonne anniversaire!



I hope you have a nice day :D

Finally my first Scanlation is finished. It took half a year, because I did everything myself ^^'

Osamu Tezuka (yes, the one that's also called "the God of Manga") is well known for his huge variety of short stories that have been collected in 20 manga volumes so far. I'm starting now with "Roros Journey" because it's my personal favourite. I will do more. Maybe even all, if many people want them. But right now, I'll stick to my favourites.

If you like tragic animal stories, this one's for you.
But please don't upload anywhere else without asking first. Thank you.

Normally, I'm not really fond of german comedians but I don't really think that it's suitable to call Pispers a comedian anyway. Abour most things he talks about I can't even laugh. But anyway...I loved his historical crash course about terrorism. I don't like anti-americanism (I am part american after all) but his lecture is just too interesting (and often too true) to care about the few imho unfitting and exaggerating phrases about naive americans at the beginning.

I just love how he connects everything and doesn't always state his opinion as a fact. Of course he formulates scentences in a provoking way. But it makes you thinking and that's all that counts after all.

(Now I finally understand that part with the guy who had to flee in "Persepolis" the graphic novel about a girl in Iran ^^')

I recently got my Italian Kaze-Ki DVD and thought I'd give it a detailed Review so that others who are interested might buy it as well.



First of all, the Italian DVD is the ONLY DVD release worldwide. It's not even out in Japan yet, even though they released all other Takemiya Anime over there in a box, they somehow left out Kaze-Ki. I have no idea why and I don't know if there is a "why" anyway. So I couldn't wait anymore and got myself an Import from Italia :D

And now, on to my review with lots of pictures!

( Read more... )

Well, some higher force just seems to be against me having a cat. First Gizmo (who got run over by a car) then Bostich (who never came home again), then I became allergic to cat hair, which did not made me stop to get Pistache...awww. He was so cute. Sadly the veterinary found out he had FIP (Feline infectious peritonitis), so they did not wake him up from the operation anymore, but made him sleep forever.

What's really evil is that Pistache was a very, very nice cat. He listened perfectly to his name. (He even came running from the fields if you called him out of the window. Kinda like Lassie, lol.) He followed you everywhere so he could place himself beside (or on) you. Sadly it wasn't meant to be. Ironically I told him yesterday that we will be soon back for him. Luckily he doesn't understand words. I hope. Because I feel really bad that he, who is so uncomfortable amongst strangers and always needs to be close to loved ones, had to be all alone in his last night.

( *sob* )

It doesn't really fit the cute kitteh post I made before, but I have to write it down.

First, my Grandma isn't very well anymore. Well physically she is, but not mentally. She is very paranoid and evil to other persons. I never had a very tight bond with her - but I can't stand how it gets to my mother. Especially not because I'm not the person who can cheer others up and do all the sentimental stuff like hugging and such. So I just go into my room, act busy and let my mother cry in the kitchen.

Second, a friend of my parents is dying. He has cancer and is pumped full of morphine now. He wont make it much longer and he's only 58! I'm not well befriended with him, put talked to him from time to time and it still gets to me a little bit. It's not a death I would wish to anyone. Much less to him.

Third, (and worst) my cat has...a problem. Well he has been wierd for about 3 weeks now. Like depressive and he barely touched his food. We brought him to the veterinary and finally we got the phone call. Uhm...my cat's stomchis full of excrements. Don't ask me HOW this is possible. But of course this explains why he didn't use his toilet for the last two days. Even the doctor is clueless. They still wait for the blood results so of course they can't really say what's going on anyway. But honestly, this really made me crash emotionally. Let's hope it all will be okay.

I guess this must be the cutest anime of 2008. Yeah it's only april, but it's very hard to top, really ;) I've been waiting since last year for this anime. Finally it's here! Chi no anime, hajimoyo!

It really has not much of a story. It's just about a kitteh which gets lost and finds a new place in an ordinary human (Japanese) family. But that doesn't matter. Every kitteh-lover (or animal lover, for the most) will love this show ;)

I thank Darklight for the Laserdisc Rip. It's almost DVD quality and if you know the story anyway, I suggest you to watch this one.

I also have another OVA made from a Takemiya Keiko Manga, "Natsu e no Tobira". If you like the style of Kaze-ki, you might enjoy this one too. It has only a little bit of boys love in it. The only sex-szene is het (and...well maybe you could call it shota).

Just kidding *g*

My MP3 player's dead, my PC crashed and yesterday I even had to bring my bycicle to the store to get it repaired...and I still have no Job!
Well...it's not as if I need any money, oh Geass no! I prefere using my sister's boyfriend's* crappy Laptop over buying something new anyday! It's so much cooler.
Not to mention I can't even watch my weekly potion of anime anymore. And if my life wouldn't suck enough already, I have cought a fucking cold as well! (How ever this was possible since I never left my room anyway).

Man, just give me a break! Next thing that might happen possibly is that our house will burn down with my whole collection or something like that. Or my cat gets run over by a car.

At least I had lots of time drawing Fanart. I now have some Kaze to Ki no Uta pictures that look pretty okay. If now only I could scan and color them in Photoshop...-_-






*No, honestly I'm grateful I have at least something *g*

Yes I dit it. I'm so sorry, my poor poor PC. ;_; I will never cut you off from electricity till you've shut down properly again, I proooomise! ;_; But why, oh, why did you have to play with my patience that much?

Geez I hope I get it to work again quickly and that I haven't lost any stuff XD
And Laptop-keyboards suck.

Yes, yes I hardly talk about anything else these days...

I have all manga volumes now. But I'm still missing something. Nooo, not the Anime (we talk about that as soon as a DVD is released lol), but the Artbook!
*_*



The cover is pretty 80s and...French? lol But in the Inside... *_*




Mhh...somehow August Beau was quite "beau" as a boy o.O At least in this picture.
As an Adult I find him rather unattractive. ^^'

Sadly the artbook isn't exactly "easy to find" and "cheap". Okay it popps up every once in a while on yahoo auctions.jp but it always ends around 5000 Yen. Meh... ,_, *goes and saves money*

Yeshhh, finally I came to take pictures of all my new stuff *_*

First of all my Kaze to ki no Uta manga. All first edition AND first print~
I bought the old ones because the newer editions all are in bunko and bunko is really too small for those pictures.



I love them. Really. It's such a great story and sooo well drawn. *bows down to Takemiya-Sensei*
Speaking of Keiko Takemiya, I also finished the american version of To Terra:



And of course I couldn't live without a KeithxMatsuka Doujinshi~

Then we have my new Death Note RAH Light.
He's already loved by my cat~





And don't forget the bunny ears~



Poor Light *g*
Well that's it for now. Now I'm officially broke.

Yeah, a new (and short) AMV I made the last two days. It's meant as a summary of the series...well more or less. I'm quite happy with some of the timings I did. Well, overall, I like it, even if it's short and still far from all those veeery good AMV creators ^^

Beware: SPOILERS! ;)

Scanned some Black Jack Boys Love Doujinshi (yes you all should know what a BJ nut I am) and I thought it's better to post them on my LJ instead of only keeping them on my PC. Both are not work safe and only for adults, so...

This one includes 4 different stories by various artists.

This one is by my favourite BJ doujin-circle "diabolism". I love their/her work. x__x

If you find dead links, just tell me.
Wuah, my poor Doujinshi...scanning sure isn't good for those poor things! XD

And it fits me kinda well I think. Okay I'm not really the one to judge that XD

"Penguin
Genera and species: Aptenodytes patagonica
Collective Term: A colony of penguins

Description
Now you see it, now you don't. Aggressive yet gentle, outgoing but shy, stable yet flighty -- everyone sees the penguin in a different way. It's that black and white thing -- the penguin only reveals the side that it wants to you to see. So, whether you like this darling-devil or not, you have to concede that it's a fascinating and enigmatic individual.

For penguins are birds condemned to live out their days on the ground. Unable to fly, their excess energy has no outlet save their creative talents and emotional outbursts. Penguins are poetic, artistic, and intellectually gifted, and as writers, penguins have no equal. But, if unable to channel their impulses in a positive way, the resulting turmoil proves damaging to their relationships and careers.

With a natural aptitude for languages, penguin personalities dominate the world of publishing as writers, editors and journalists. A strong sense of drama draws them to the theater and cinema, although unlike typical bird personalities, they avoid the spotlight unless they're able to hide behind the characters they play. Once on stage however, they prove to be excellent performers with their multifaceted personalities conveying the full gamut of emotions.

However, a lack of confidence affects their work and penguins tend to give up too easily. So work never dominates their lives and they always put their families first. Those intimate with their penguin personality are impressed by their unswerving loyalty. They are sentimental at heart and always remember anniversaries and the birthdays of nieces and nephews. With a strong compassion for others, they place their family's needs ahead of their own but often end up being taken advantage of.

In matters of the heart, penguins connect poorly with other bird personalities who look down on them because of their terrestrial connections. Mammalian personalities also treat them with suspicion too, finding them to be flighty and unpredictable.

Since penguins have the coldest feet in the animal kingdom, it's no surprise that within its conflicted bosom there beats the warmest heart of all. Unfortunately, most of us will never experience this gentle compassion, for penguins ration their love only to family and close friends."

Ich bin ein Loser ;________;

Das ist glaube ich alles, was ich dazu zu sagen habe.
Man sollte eher gewisse Menschen verbieten oder Wesenstests unterziehen.

OMG! Undead Kitten!

Meine verlorengeglaubte Katze Pistache hat nach 10 Tagen doch wieder ihren Weg nach Hause gefunden! O.O Wir haben ja nicht wirklich geglaubt, dass er noch lebt, aber er ist putzmunter! Naja....abgesehen von dem leichten Trauma, dass er zu haben scheint. (Sobald man sich wegbewegt fängt er an zu Miauen bzw. zu Krächzen, wiel er nicht mehr miauen kann ^^')
Er stinkt nach altem Öl und ist selbst nach nem Waschgang sehr dreckig. Aber Yeah! Kitty is back. Wer sagte nochmal, dass Freitag der 13. ein Unglückstag sei?




Er hat übrigens trotz seines Zustandes als erstes wieder meine Quietscheentchen vom Wannenrand ins Bad geschmissn...

Yay, welcome home Pistache.

Ich konnte leider nicht widerstehen, passend zu Ostern meinen Black Jack zu quälen. :D

Tjaja. Passt ja leider auch noch, aber was solls :D (Ich und kindisch? Phö.)
Und bald Semesterprüfungen. Ich sterbe *_*

Seit Ewigkeiten ein LJ Account und noch nie nen Beitrag verfasst? Wie peinlich. Nunja, wollen wir das mal ändern.
