Yaaay~ another talkative person. ^-^ that makes me happy since it makes me feel like my talkativeness isn't just an annoying feature.

The reason for the poll was very simple-minded. I wanted to see if my intro left a bad or a good impression and just so it's no so serious, i wanted to see how little people can take a little trick-tease with the "you get no hug" option (as if i was suggesting that you get to hug me if you say yes or no hihi)


well to put it simply, i watched black cat because i found all this pictures/wallpapers/manga and anime screen shots with these cool looking characters and i followed they're origin...to Black Cat. I watched it and i was UUUU! I was very childish but my feelings for this not-so-impressive not-incredibly-original but very-entertaining show did not change. Train Heartnet was my love at first sight to this anime. I was like @w@!! He looked so cool! Wow an elite killing machine! But then he turns into this just as cool but now with extra sense of humor and kinder person. I was in love! It was like he was some sort or silly "tsundere" type of character. Kyaa~!

lol! That pic rocks.

He's certainly one cool cat. He hooked me in too. I was randomly browsing anime and I clicked the wrong link, but decided to roll with it. I told myself I'd watch at least a little bit of the start of the episode and move on to my intended choice.. I was still watching several episodes later.

And it was all because of him, plus his interaction with Saya. I saw a lot of myself in him. I won't bore you with the details, but I really related to the character. They should have ended up together btw. I know Saya is someone dear to him the whole show and someone he carries with him, but I dunno.. doesn't it feel like he got cheated?

I guess it just wasn't fated to be. I mean, with a name like "heartnet" you know something is gonna go wrong. lol I wonder what studio exec thought that name up. One thing I think that show did right though was it's philosophy. I mean, some of those villains aren't just cut and dried "I'm evil just cuz I am" sorts. They have valid, argumentative reasons for being such.

cheated by life you mean. His family got killed and then their killer trains him to become a #1 assassin, and to drink milk xD.
Saya wasn't just dear to him, she was the one person who made him develop a feeling of "i want to be free" (lol Queen rings in my head randomly) She was more of an inspiration. After several years of hunting and murdering targeted people, someone shows him that you can achieve things without taking life from someone. He connected with that idea deeply. His partner, Creed, was rather jealous, afraid Train will change his ways, so much he removed Saya from the field. But it was rather too late, Train kept to his decision of changing his life. And so from a cool kinda sexy but scary assassin to a more relaxed, happy-go-lucky, poor and always on the road bounty hunter(hunting criminals, but not killing them).
Even as silly as he acts, he kinda acts like a preacher sometimes to several characters (especially in the manga) where he points out that "you don't have to be hard on yourself and you don't have to resort to the extreme solutions, trust me i know" and going for a cat-nap right after saying it (lol mind image)



to be honest, some names were a bit cocky but I was too "aww i love this show" to bother with them. The author and manga artist of Black Cat is Yabuki Kentaro (he had a co-designer for the anime version though) so i think he is responsable for the character names.


PS: i hope no one will be upset turning my intro topic into a discussion one

lol, I was putting it lightly, but I see I didn't have to. You and I seem to share the same views on black cat. Well, at least when it comes to Train. What did you think of Eve? She was the most confusing of the lot I felt. Made the story a bit more abstract. It's as if she was only there as an excuse for the group to assemble and to have a plot into order to drive their interactions.

She had her own character, with a valid tragedy, I'm not saying she wasn't a part of things. But I wonder if they really took her story in the right direction.

Also as to the introduction into discussion matter, I'm of the opinion it is fine. I'm not staff, so I don't make the decision, but to me this appears on topic. The purpose is a "meet and greet" where members learn more about each other right? What better why than what we're doing here?

This thread is kinda like an "about me." I'm not sure how this doesn't fit into that. Besides that, it seems relevant to the OP. We are carrying on about something mentioned there. But hey, if the mods tell us to move it, then by all means, we'll just continue elsewhere I suppose. lol

alrighty,
Eve you say? the little quiet girl with enormous potential in knowledge and power always had some backfires. For once she was naive, you could make her follow you if you say you will give her ice cream for example. the only thing she could instantly recognize though was a murderer. She would say "you smell like blood" and before she got saved and enrolled in this newly build group, she was thought to "play" with trained fighters/killers a game like catch in which she is the demon who chases and catches them, using her transformation abilities.

By the anime, she is the second reason for Train's evolution from the "black cat" to a "stray cat".

Oh btw, if you are curious just a bit more about eve, you can secretly find her disguised as Golden Darkness/Yami, in To-LOVE-ru, and it's actually more accurate to her looks because this time it's Yabuki Kentaro who designed the anime and manga (sadly, the story isn't his)

Osu
Hai there and welcome to Fakku!
Drop by the CTFG section if you have time~

Welcome to fakku Nade, I hope you enjoy your stay!

I've seen you here and there around the forums posting, keep it up!

Well isn't that cool? lol

I've never seen to love ru, but really only because ever time I start it up, something else distracts me. Maybe one day I'll get around to actually watching it. But hidden cross overs like that are always neat. It's almost like the anime version of where's waldo. Especially since I've seen a lot of anime.

In fact, I used to keep a notepad document to track where I was in various ones so I didn't lose my place. But it got too big to manage. See over time I started adding a short description, review, etc. So I couldn't just throw it out when I had completed the series. I almost started a website to house it all. I realized I was becoming quite well informed, but I lack the CSS knowledge to make that a practical endeavor so I gave it up.

Anyway, the point being, I find cross overs to be pretty humorous, since I do know many characters and can notice these said cross overs. The SOS squad from the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya is a common one for example. If you've ever seen lucky star, the layabout anime nerd of that show only is able to find work because she happens to get hired at a cos-play cafe themed after that show.

But additionally, lucky star references many such things, like the mangas the girls buy and such. They are bleeped out, but if your smart, you'll notice even gundam and whatnot. lol

New topic is just old. :|

try harder, i can't understand if you're rude, bored or care-free
your posts makes my head go 90 degrees like a confused owl.
I don't even know if i should ask this but... are you trolling? o,o
or am i just tiring for you? xD
Anyway you're very eye-catching with these sneaky short comments

back @ Maholix
i didn't get to see but a few episodes of MHS because i wasn't aware of the order mixed-up episodes and it was too confusing. And Lucky star, well i just didn't get to see the cute chibish story, i had a lot of other anime stacked up before. but now you got me more curious to see.

@girutiya CTFG? I scrolled the forum and looked for subforums to see which one is that. oooh! do you mean Chat and Games? Sure why not! ^-^

@Rise-chan thank you ^w^ I saw you around the forums as well, you seem like a very sweet person

hello. hope to talk to you sometimes.

lol, MHS is now even more confusing. There is a new and an old series of it. See, one has the original amount of episodes, but now they have a "second season" or something like that. But really it's just the same series a little bit remastered and with some episodes thrown in that didn't make the cut the first time.

Supposedly it's to add insight and to be a gift to the fans, who as evidenced by all the spin off spoofing and crossovers, simply did not get enough of the show. Even so, I think the old version is a much more fulfilling story.. the new one feels like a bunch of fillers were stuck in. As to it being out of order, that is done on purpose. Most anime characters are odd, but she, well she's special. lol

There is some debate as to if watching it out of order or in order is better. From what I am told, out of order is confusing, but fun. You get a episode or two that makes no sense, and then it will show you the episode that contains the answers you seek.. all before throwing you the next curve ball. Think of it like a puzzle.

Myself, I can't say which is better, cause I chickened out and watched it in order. Not really because I was running away from the craziness. If anything I liked it. But at the time, I was trying to work on that site I mentioned earlier, so I figured I better know what was going on so I could post it with the proper info. If you need help figuring out which episode is the real start of that show, let me know.

After that, at the end of each episode, the guy says the correct order. She on the other hand will say the more confusing order because "normal is boring." If your wanting to watch it in order, always listen to him from then on. lol


Lucky star is one I am thinking you will like form what I know of you so far. It's one of those slice of life animes, and is done well. It always reminds me of the commons at high school. They talk about the most random stuff, but you'll remember having similar convos I bet. And because they do stealth referencing to a lot of anime and such that really exists, they feel pretty real once you get past the toony-ness of it.

Be sure to pay attention at the end of the episodes on that one too. It has a little side show before the credits called "LUCKY CHANNEL!!" and though it is sometimes kinda dumb, it can be pretty funny usually.

Thank you!

Although calling me sweet is an overstatement desu. >_>
