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.

Announcing the Otakuite of the Month Project

I'd like to announce my idea for a new feature on K.A.A.M.P.! It's called Otakuite of the Month (OotM), and I need YOUR help to make it work. Either PM me or leave a comment about who you want to be the Otakuite of the Month. You can nominate as many people as you want. The one who gets the most nominations will be the Otakuite of the Month for January 2014. But here's the catch-- you can't vote for yourself.

So, what does the OotM get besides that fancy title? Well, I'm going to feature the Otakuite's Fan Works on this World. Not only that, I will PM the lucky winner and invite them to a private Chat interview.

Nominations go to the end of the month, so pick some friends to honor now! The winner will be announced next year (which is only a few days away).

Edit: I'm refreshing this post so more people can see it. So far there are five different nominees, each with one vote. This might mean that I have to pick at random. Also, I'd like to give a shout-out to the anonymous person who PMed me literally just minutes after I posted this up.

Voice Meme (Now with Music!)

I hope this works. I uploaded my voice meme to Google Drive. Here is the link. I'm afraid you'll have to download it in order to listen to it. Also, the file is kind of big. If, for some reason, you can't hear it, let me know and I'll do my best to fix the problem.

You can listen to my songs on my Tumblr page. Let me know if you run into any problems playing them.

Below are the questioners. Check the comments if you want to see the answers to their own questions.

Suggestion Box

2013 is coming to a close in about two weeks, if you didn't notice. In the coming year, what would you like to see me post on this World?

I'm going to list a few of my ideas. You can tell me which ones you like.

  • Otakuite of the Month
  • Voice actors
  • Japanese names vs. English names (this can go in a few directions)
  • Anime fan sites
  • Plotholes (so far, I have only one in mind)
  • Comedy vs. tragedy
  • Things involving my original stories

I apologize for being intentionally vague. I just don't want anyone snagging my ideas.

Feel free to suggest other topics. Please keep them otaku-related, though.

Finally, I created a new World called Wanna-Be Rock Star Diary and I'm not sure what to include within it. Any suggestions would be helpful. I'm thinking about creating a few more Worlds in the coming months. One will be a music review World and another one could possibly be a home-base for a "manga troupe".

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Heck, thanks for reading even if you don't have any suggestions.

Note: Please do not drop coins in the suggestion box. Failure to heed this warning entitles me to keep the coins.

All I Wanted Was a Little Closure

Since I found the original FMA's ending so dissatisfying, I worked up the nerve to watch Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa (or however you spell that) with a sinking feeling that I'd be wasting two hours of my life. Well, guess what? I was right; I wasted two hours of my life.

At least when I watch "Brotherhood" I can do so with a clear conscience.

100 Subscribers!

It took me 4.5 years, but I finally have 100 subscribers! I'd like to give a shout-out to my 100th, GummiKidd. I'd give a shout-out to my very first, but I think they deleted their account. Instead, I'll give one to LGA775 because he's one of the first people who subscribed to me and is still active on theO. Heck, I want to thank all of my friends, new and old. Thanks for the support, everyone.
