Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.
Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.
KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.
So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

I was so pumped for starting the Countdown event, but now I'm kind of stuck. I have most of my list assembled, and I know I could finish it within the day, but I have one problem.
That problem is depression.
I know some of you guys know firsthand how debilitating depression can be. You don't feel like doing anything, and when you realized you haven't done anything, you feel worse.
There are at least 10 different otaku-related things I have hanging over my head, and I can't seem to get into any of them. Maybe it's the lack of stuff going on regarding theO. Hardly anyone is posting, and even fewer people than that are commenting. Although I do comment on various things, I feel that I'm still a member of this guilty party. Plus, a certain wound in theO's side has been reopened, which is probably what's getting me down the most.
I sincerely apologize for this post. I try to hardly ever post anything this down, but I really have to vent a little. Thank you for your understanding.
I'm starting to think about my neglected Worlds, namely "Wanna-Be Rock Star Diary", "CD Collection", and "Wanted!". I'll dedicate a paragraph to each one, and what I want to do with it.
Wanted!: If you don't mind, I think I'm just going to delete this one. Although I liked the concept, and thought it would be helpful, it never really took off.
Wanna-Be Rock Star Diary: I never update it. In fact, I think it's been about a year since I touched it. I'll either delete it or make it private until I actually have some musical experiences. Like gigging with a band.
CD Collection: Here's where the title of this post comes in. If you've noticed, "CD Collection" doesn't have any posts at all-- just an intro. It doesn't even have a master list of all of my CDs. This is because I'm self-conscious about my musical taste. I know I have no reason to be; theO is a supportive, friendly place, after all. I'm just afraid that I might anger some people. I have some strong opinions on certain albums, and I've been known to get into arguments about them. Also, in some cases, my opinions are uninformed. I'd like to learn more about certain artists/bands and their music, but I'm afraid to do research, because music is a loaded topic for me, and I might make myself upset. If anyone is still interested in reading my album reviews, speak now. I might delete that World as well.
I'm just livestreaming out of boredom. Join me!
No one came. *Cries.*
Barnes and Noble is having a "buy two get one" sale on manga soon. I think it's on the 19th. I have the last two volumes of a series that I intend to buy, but I might as well get a freebie while I'm at it.
So, now I turn to you, my fellow Otakuites. Got any recommendations for a good manga? Suggest anything you want, and I'll check if my local B&N has it.
I know you guys haven't heard from me in some time. That's because I haven't felt like writing much. But now I have inspiration.
I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I came up with a new story idea about 15 minutes ago. The set-up is that there's this girl who's kind of a social outcast, that reads comics to escape from her lonely life. One morning, she finds the hero of her favorite comic, fully materialized, in her room. At first, it seems like only she can see him, but it turns out that this same phenomenon has happened to other people who are reading the comic series. And that's mostly what I have in terms of the idea. Oh, and the people who can see these characters can only see the ones that they've read about.
I just wanted to jot that down in case I forget.
Seriously, though, I'm coming up with too many complicated ideas. I still have The Rebels of Planet Aadau and Destination to write. And then there's that plot-less story about mythological creatures. Plus, I have to come up with the next arc in Survival Instincts. So basically, my plate is pretty full in regard to story ideas.
