Welcome my little corner of the Otaku!

Thoughts and Impressions is where I record the wonderful adventure that is life

.
Here's my little bio :)
Animation has always been fascinating to me, I never quite grew out of cartoons. I actually like and watch American cartoons more than anime, but Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, any film made by Miyazaki, and Tekkon Kinkreet redeem the genre. As for manga, I only love and collect two series: Hana-Kimi and Rurouni Kenshin.
There are so many American cartoons I love! Family Guy, Venture Bros, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Danny Phantom, Teen Titans, Invader Zim, X-Men Evolution, Tom and Jerry, and Robot Chicken.
Then there's the whole list of animated movies! Treasure Planet, Road to El Dorado, The Chipmunk Adventure, anything Don Bluth (especially Rockadoodle and Thumbelina), most classic Disney movies, The Iron Giant, The Paigemaster, Persepolis, The Incredibles, and so many others!
As for non-animation some favorite TV shows are: The Office, Scrubs, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Firefly, Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Batman (1966 Adam West), Red Dwarf, The Red Green Show, and BBC Robin Hood.
Of course, there's movies too: Muppet Treasure Island, any version of Treasure Island ever, anything Jane Austen, Secondhand Lions, Death at a Funeral, Noises Off, Newsies, Singin in the Rain, Dr. Phibes, Stargate, Star Wars (ep.4-6), Psycho, and so much more.
My favorite Asain drama right now is Young Warriors of the Yang Clan

In case you were wondering, yes I do have a life outside of watching TV and movies. I am a sophomore in college and a theatre major. Some of my favorite plays are The Rehearsal, Titus Andronicus, August: Osage County, All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, The Producers, The Big Bang Theory, Doubt, and Proof. I find time for reading as well, and I love The Artemis Fowl Series, Treasure Island, anything Jane Austen, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, and Jekyll and Hyde.
When I am not reading, drawing, or being hypnotized by the TV, I am out gallivanting with my friends, spending time with my twin, antiquing/thrifting, doing homework, at rehearsal, going to the nearest Jane Austen Society meeting, being with my wonderful family, daydreaming, drinking green tea (which I love immensely), taking pictures, wasting my life away on the internet, playing arcade games, and traveling.
Random: My two favorite superheroes are Batman and Spiderman. Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Gambit are my favorite X-Men. Celebrity crushes are Hugh Jackman, J J Feild, Harry Lloyd, Fahrenheit members, Christian Bale and Sean Patrick Flanery. My favorite spoof is Yu Gi Oh: The Abridged Series.

Art Trades and Requests

....are miss/hit with me. It honestly depends on how busy I am. Please forgive me if I forget and PM me with reminders so I'll remember.
If you want a request, most anything from any of the lists above will do.

Alas Poor Yorrik! I knew him.... IN AMERICA!!!!

Internet Fast

So I'm fasting recreational internet activities, so for 30 days I won't be on this site. It's a religious choice, I need to focus on other things now. To those few of you who actually read my post, I'll miss you and please don't abandon me while I'm gone. Thanks.
Good news is, I'll have lot's of art to post in 30 days, hopefully.
Sayonara for now
Have fun otaku-ing

I'm beginning to be alive again

So I actually managed to get some art up. We'll see how long this keeps happening. Once Comedy of Errors starts, I don't foresee much free time. I'm still working on my manga, however, and might be able to keep doing that because I don't require the use of a computer. This is going to be a very long few months.

Casting!!!

So, after an unusually long casting process, the cast list for Comedy of Errors finally came out last night! I'm Dromeo of Syracuse . Kind of fitting that I'm get to play a twin, no? I'm still waiting for another cast list, The Bald Soprano, to come out; however, I don't think they'll double cast me. That's really a lot of stress. Still, the actor in me says, "Bah! You can do it!". Har Har. Plus this is my first time ever attempting Shakespeare, so we'll see where this all goes.
Speaking of acting....bahahaha.

New Style

So, I have decided to make a new style for myself. This doesn't mean my old style will be thrown out the window or anything. I just feel like right now it's a little generic looking. So I'm making a new manga out of this style. However, don't hold your breath, because I don't plan to have pages out for a while. This is due to me exploding with the sudden conviction that I depend on computers far too much to make my art look good. Hence, I'm attempting to do everything by pen, down to the last detail. Okay, so I'll edit with the computer still. Yup. So I'm going to kill myself on this one.
Oh yeah. Side note. Mark Hamill rocks my socks.
So do the Beatles.

Have fun otaku-ing!

4TH SEASON!

So I just thought, for the meager few of you who actually keep up with my posts, I wanted to let you guys know that the 4th season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) is coming out!!!! In case any of you were fans and wanted to know.
If you aren't fans, I highly recommend this anime. It's amazing.
Here's a pic.
