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.

Other places to find me:

Toyhouse: KebaFox
Art Fight: KebaFox
Tumblr (kind of inactive): kebasirota

Discussions

Hey, people! I'm back with another post. This particular post is just me kicking some ideas around as to how best to generate activity here on theO. My first thought was to do some kind of monthly discussion topic on the front page. Another was to make new users welcome by giving them some tips on how to best use theO. My final thought was about the "moderator World" that I was going to make. What do I call it? I'm open to suggestions....

P.S.: I guess my "Six Fanarts" was a bust since only four people gave suggestions. Oh well. I've been drawing other stuff, anyway, and I hope to post something soon.

[UPDATE] Six Fanarts

I'm considering attempting the "Six Fanarts" challenge thing that's going around. Of course I'd keep the post strictly to theO, since I'm not very social with social media. So... should I do it?

Update: I've decided I'm gonna do it! Hopefully I can get six different people to help me out. Hit me with as many suggestions as possible. I don't care if your list is 20 characters. I actually want a lot to choose from. Even if someone has already suggested a character, you can suggest it too. Go on and list all your favorites!

I'm A New Mod

Well, as the title states, I'm a new, full-fledged moderator here at theO. This means I have access to front page announcements, reports, editing user settings, and the like. Now that this has transpired, I'm here to serve you. Please let me know what you need. Keep in mind that I'm not the bossman, so I can't fix bugs or modify code in any way. Having said that, I will do anything in my power to help you, even if it means contacting the team with issues.

Now that I've made my announcement, let me leave you with a question and a request.

The question is this: do you want me to make a separate "Mod World"? I remember one of the mods did this back in the day, and I loved reading it. It made theO feel more transparent and in-tune with its users.

My request is that you spread the word about who to come to when you need help with the site. I don't have as many subscribers as a lot of you, so if you could make a World post linking to this post, I would greatly appreciate it.

Being Social in Isolation

Hi guys! How is everyone doing? I know times are strange, to say the least.

I'm in the process of drawing a picture. I haven't really gotten that far into it. Still, something's better than nothing.

Now that I have so much time to myself, I was wondering if I should open up for art trades. As you know, I take a lot of time to make my art, so I'm wondering whether trades are a good idea or not.

Heyo~!

I haven't posted since last September! Time to brush the dust off of this blog.

To be honest, I don't have many creative endeavors going on. I haven't drawn a thing yet this year. Part of it is lack of inspiration. Part of it is lack of confidence. I'm at a point where drawing just isn't all that enjoyable. Sometimes I wonder if this is what it means to be an adult. Or it could be a case of depression. In any case, I haven't been drawing, so that explains my lack of activity. I do patrol theO daily, though.

I'm also watching a lot of anime. I've picked up a lot of series this year, though I haven't completed any of them yet. Check my Anime-Planet watch-list if you like. It's easier than typing out everything that I'm watching. Plus, it's a little plug for Anime-Planet, which I've been recommending to all the anime fans in my life. I'm actually starting to get to know people there.

To end this post on a more positive note, does anyone have any music they recommend? I gravitate more towards rock and alternative, though I'm willing to listen to anything except religious or country music. I'm mainly looking for albums, since I have Spotify, but if you have individual song recommendations, I'm open to those too. Thanks in advance! ^_^
