Welcome to Sakura Land! :) I'm Sakura Tachibana, the creator. (of course.) It's a pen name. Anyway, here you can find a blog that gives you a tiny peek into my weird and wonderful world. Enjoy! :)

Notices

  • I have started a Madoka Magica doujinshi called Zaubermädchen Anna Magica. (Anna Magica 4 short, ZAM 4 shortest.) If u want 2 check out v story so far, feel free. Whaddaya think of it? Please let me know. (I'll give u v link when I find out how.)
  • I have also started putting up pages from my old school sketchbook if any of u r interested. Seeing how I used 2 draw could b interesting. Search 4 "Sakura's Art Book."
  • Oh, and readers of earlier posts may know that I found out how 2 make a Pactio Card from Negima. (basically, a card that reveals magical details about a person) Well, I should've told u way earlier, but 4 some reason v picture wasn't loading on v software, so it's back 2 v drawing board 4 a while.
  • Crimson-Rose asked me why I had v letter v all over my posts. If u c a v on its own, it will often b a substitute 4 "the". Just say what u c.

A Hetalia Overload?

Just got told off by Larxy V Strange 4 saying stuff from my point of view on Letters Of V World. (It would've made 4 some good comedy. :( ) That's right, Me-hi-co is officially in EL CASA! (The house!) (Have I got v gender wrong?...) I.e, 4 those of u who haven't read my earlier posts, (I got a PM this morning saying ChinaSan had subscribed 2 me. Xie xie!) (Along with Ni hao, that's v only Chinese I know.) I've joined Larxy V Strange's World (Letters Of V World, a World in which u can make up your own Hetalia country & write diary entries 4 them) as v fun-loving Mexico. Check it out! (Sorry about v crapness of my 1st post. I was a bit tired.)
On other Hetalia-related news, u know Wallace & Gromit; The Curse Of V Were-Rabbit? (It's claymation, not an anime.) Well I have come up with a Hetalia version! Basically, v lovely Hungary (who 4 some reason has a big house & even bigger gardens) is hosting a fair/Giant Vegetable Competition, (which Japan is growing a daikon radish 4) which means that v Axis Powers (Germany, Italy & Japan) (it's v present day, but 4 some reason they have decided to set up a humane pest control team 2gether) have their hands full trying 2 keep a strange plague of rabbits off everyone's veggies. But that's not all. News of an infamous "Were-Rabbit" spreads round v world and it seems 2 b true. Austria asks Germany (this is where v conversion gets a bit weird) 2 kill it 4 him & Germany agrees because he thinks it might help rekindle v love between Austria & Hungary. (Peeps who know about v 1st World War will know that Austria & Hungary were v same country @ 1 point, appropriately named Austria-Hungary.) However Japan, who is annoyingly suffering from a throat infection that has robbed him of his voice (does this remind u of anything?)is v only one (or perhaps Romano could help 2) who can stop Germany as the truth behind v Were-Rabbit could shock him 2 his core if he kills him.
See if u can guess who is a country by day... and a Were-Rabbit by night! (Put v answers in spoilers, please.)

How 1 Person Can Make Your Heart Sing

Just got back from school. 2day was an interesting day. How was Independence Day? Would u like me 2 make a Happy 4th fan art? Ended up visiting theO yesterday, but wasn't sure what 2 do about the 4th as a Brit visiting theO @ that time could be like a German visiting on Remembrance/Holocaust Memorial Day, if u c what I mean.
Also, have started watching Negima online. Asuna sounds higher than I expected. Also saw OVA 1 (whatever that means) of Magical Star Kanon 100% a day or 2 ago. BTW, what's an OVA?
V creator has an Ume Aoki (character designer of Madoka Magica, I think.) -esque sense of style, i.e. TOTALLY CUTE & AWESOME! KYAAAAAAAAA!!!
It was pretty cool.
But, I'm posting mainly about v last lesson of v day, ICT. 4 our end of term project we had 2 do a PowerPoint on any topic we liked (provided it was appropriate, of course) and put stuff like hyperlinks & custom animation in it. Well, it so happened that I had an attack of presentation-maker's block. I eventually decided on Negima (yup, my desire 4 a Pactio, as well as my crush on a certain someone that A-san knows who, has gotten big enough 2 leak in2 other areas of my brain.) with help from friends and TA's. But what was really nice was that v person sitting next 2 me was doing Hetalia. I knew she was a fan of The Legend Of Zelda and Animal Crossing but I never knew she was an otaku. This led 2 me doing a couple of Italy impressions, including a rather loud, hammed up version of v "Please don't shoot me" bit (I was trying 2 capture Italy's distress. (^^') ) & "PASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
It's nice 2 know that you're not v only otaku in da house. Also, another girl was doing Studio Ghibli. (^-^)
Bye 4 now. Apparently it's time 4 tea.

News of v day. BONGGGG!!!!!

BONGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some 1st things have happened TheO-wise. Yesterday (or was it v day b4?) I got my 1st dedication, (it was on a wallpaper called Pretty Paws. THANK U VANILLA CUPCAKE! ;-;) And 2day I got my 1st medal. (4 participation in TheO Internet Battle 13 Shame I didn't win. I know v art could've been better. Maybe I'll draw myself in a military-style uniform 2 celebr8.)
BONGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile, have just been watching Episode 10 of Hetalia online. FRANCE, WHY DID U PROPOSE 2 ENGLAND @ V END?!!! O-O Oh, and Hungary, you're cruel.
BONGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
And @ school, we had another PSHE morning. We did some stuff on safe sex in v 2nd half. I think v most embarrassing bit was when v boys got in2 a circle on v inside & v girls surrounded them with an outside circle. We had 2 pretend we'd Done It unprotected with the boy we were facing. We had 2 say where it took place & give it marks out of 10. V process repeated twice more with 2 more partners. Then v visitor leading v workshop told us th@ 1 of v girls had "clap". (She didn't actually.) So her "sexual partners" had 2 join her on v other side of v room. And their sexual partners had 2 join them. And so on. So basically, we'd all caught imaginary gonorrhoea. T-T V guys leading v workshop were a bit TMI 2 b honest. But they did a good play on safe sex. (with no actual sex scenes).
V 1st half of v morning was about social media.
BONGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gonna do some work on my botched card and hopefully Mum'll allow me 2 play on Skyward Sword. (She's hogged v TV 2 watch Wimbledon. -_- )
See y'all l8r! #YOLO!

Sakura's Newsround of v week: Turning over a New Leaf Gamewise

Okay, so 4 starters my little brother got back from a French exchange, which was pleasing because I missed him. (Mainly bcoz I'd gotten stuck on Skyward Sword and needed his help, but u know. ^w^) Also, I bought Animal Crossing: New Leaf 2day. Li'l bro let me use his 3DS 4 it! ^-^ I think it's an excuse 2 gloat at how he has a 3DS and I don't, but I'll play on 4 now. (Did any of u guess that this game would b involved when u saw v title?)
Also, just been watching Hetalia online again. (Allies, was it really wise 2 send Italy back in a box with v F-word on it? There could b children watching v programme. >: ) It made me laugh all v same. Also, when Germany's phone rang @ v start of v show my parents thought it was an actual phone ringing! :D
Germany is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!!! ^^
Also, v "they fed me hamburgers" bit was really funny. ^^
Oh, and f*** you Austria, u harsh child-labouring poo. >:( (C Chibitalia 4 more info.)
Gonna play on Skyward Sword now.
Until next time,
Sakura

I've Been Tagged!

My 1st tag! By Zuzu Uchiha. I feel honoured. Thank u! (^-^) Oh, and Zuzu, sorry 4 pestering u with PM's asking what tagging is.

DA RULES OF TAGGING:
RULE 1: POST THE RULES.
RULE 2: ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THE TAGGER SET FOR YOU IN THEIR POST, THEN MAKE 11 NEW ONES.
RULE 3: TAG 10 PEOPLE AND LINK THEM TO YOUR POST.
RULE 4: LET THEM KNOW YOU’VE TAGGED THEM

1) have you ever been tagged before
Nope.

2) What would your top 5 anime be
Ooh. I'm more of a manga person. Probably:
5. Redakai
4. Inazuma Eleven
3. Pokemon
2. Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds: Road 2 Destiny
1. Madoka Magica

Sorry, v only animes I have seen r stuff I've seen on CITV (my brother's choice) except 4 Madoka Magica, which I watched online last yr.

3) Do you believe that a zombie outbreak will occur sometime soon?
Sounds very far-fetched & impossible. Hopefully not.

4) What would your weapon(s) of choice be
I want 2 make my own Pactio Card (if u haven't heard of Negima then ignore this sentence) 2 stick up on my introduction on Sakura Land and obviously I'll need a magic weapon. But I can't really think of 1 @ v moment. Perhaps a simple sword? Or a magic book & writing implements? Or a cute Magical Girl staff? Sorry about this.

5) Have you seen the movie or the trailers for The Purge?
Never even heard of it.

6) If so then do you think that would happen? (If you haven't seen the movie or know about then just skip this question)

7) If you had the chance to see your one favorite anime/game character what would you ask them?
That's tough. If I was typing this in Year 7 it would probably b Dawn from Pokémon. Perhaps I'd ask her if she gets stage fright during a Contest or something? Sorry 4 v lameness.

8) Would you find these questions a bit odd?
Not really. Tricky though.

9) If you were to have the one thing you wanted in the world... what would it be?
Oh crap. These questions r really hard! (>-<)
Perhaps a doorway 2 a magical world?

10) If you could rule any anime/game which would it be.
Oohhhh... the Magic World in Negima?

Right. I'm gonna tag...

And now v questions...

1. What's your favourite colour?
2. U r taking a random walk outside when u notice a cr8 of tomatoes lying outside. When u tip it up 2 investig8, a voice, seemingly coming from inside v box claiming 2 b v spirit of v tomato box, tells u 2 leave it alone. What do u do next?
3. Fave type of music?
4. How many languages do u speak?
5. U r at a meeting in which everyone is getting their composure back 2gether after things got a little bit rowdy. A cute but retarded guy then shouts "PASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!" after being asked if he has something 2 say. What's your reaction?
6. Fave weapon? (It doesn't have 2b mundane. It could b a magic book or a wand or something. Let your imagination go wild.)
7. Fave manga/anime?
8. Fave season?
9. Imagine u were some sort of God and u had the power 2 create any sort of world. (but just 1) Briefly describe what it would look like, who might live there & anything else about it.
10. What's v weirdest dream u remember having?
11. If Kyubey asked u if u wanted 2 b a magical girl would u say yes? And if u did say yes what will u wish 4? (4 those of u who haven't read Madoka Magica, Kyubey is a cat-thing who turns girls in2 magical girls who have 2 defeat monsters called witches. In return, he grants them 1 wish.)
Good luck?
P.S. How do u provide a link on a PM?
