Manga/Anime fan as well, still a 5-year old in my heart.

When I was young I was addicted to these things. I think everyone should have a point in their life where they were so obsess with cartoons. I love cartoons and I still do.
Like for example 'Tom and Jerry', 'The Simpsons', 'Mickey Mouse', 'Warner Brothers Cartoon episodes' etc..
The point is kids should be exposed to these innocent and fun cartoons that doesn't poison their minds by encouraging them to grow up quickly.They shouldn't be obsess with shows like 'Laguna Beach', 'Gossip Girl' and other mature drama. Even though now it is unavoidable. I know a young girl who is obsess with Gossip girl and when I say obsess I mean OBSESS. I don't watch Gossip Girls or any that are like that show so I don't really know the craze but these young girl who is age 8 loves it, know too much of it and supposedly have a crush on the famous Chace Crawford. It is natural to have a crush on a good looking boy but to have a knowledge on why she likes Chace Crawford and why he is appealing to girls is just plain horrible for a 8 year old to know!  I seriously would expose my kids to Anime than TV drama! 
Manga/Anime I thought that they were not really a good type of cartoon to be shown to kids but it still takes young kids to be in their own little fantasy because not all of these cartoons made in Japan are always about love, some of them are about adventure and having fun.  Like for example Astroboy or Dragon Ball or Yugi Oh etc...Then again movies in theatres that kids like always involve romance for e.g. the new movie 'How to train your dragon', 'Disney Movies' and even 'Monster Inc.' has a little bit of romance sort of thing. I mean it is not the intense type but I guess by saying these movies are ok then I pretty much said that all Animes are descent to be shown to kids.

Moreover what can I say aside from being overtly influenced by my younger sister, which was recently into reading manga scans online from Mangafox. I did missed my young days when I was crazy about these
Animes/ mangas and how I was so innocent. I thought the world was such a happy place in the end even if there are tough times. How these fantasy world encourage me to dream bigger and have unrealistic expectations when it comes to love. That is probably why I expect too much from my significant other.

Anyway read below.


When I was young these were the animes/manga that I watched:
  1. Yu Yu Hakusho
  2. Sailor Moon (all series)
  3. Fushigi Yuugi
  4. Vision of Escaflowne
  5. Akazukin Chacha
  6. Gatekeepers
  7. Flame of Recca
Now that I am older, these are manga/anime's that I still appreciate and watch because I have them at home

  1. Sailor Moon
  2. Yu Yu Hakusho
  3. Akazukin Cha cha 
  4. Vision of Escaflowne
Recently my addiction OR 'my favourite reads in manga fox' are:
  1. Skip Beat!
  2. Gakuen Alice
  3. Forbidden Kiss
Seriously I am scared to start reading another manga in manga fox because I got addicted to Gakeun Alice and Skip Beat the most!
I even skipped a day off from studying just to finish the whole entire uploads in manga fox.
What frustrates me is that all of these recent manga stories addiction are still ongoing process therefore the story is NOT finished. Which is a good thing but bad.
The GOOD thing is that it means - I am not going to feel empty and bored yet because these manga/anime are not over.
The BAD thing is that I am impatient when I am reading a story therefore I just want to know what happens next.
When it comes to reading a stories,  I just want to have the entire story as soon as I can. It will frustrate me if I can't read it thoroughly. That is probably why I don't like watching TV drama until they are out on DVDs Because of not being patient and getting too excited. This type of attitude of wanting to read it thoroughly, does suddenly makes me upset when I know that the story is over and that there are no more sequels to it.
I think one of the reason why sailor moon story didn't upset me after seeing everything was because there was so many series and generally ended happily ever after.
Meanwhile Vision of Escaflowne (VOE) was a MAJOR disappointment with me not just because of its crappy realistic-fantasy story ending but because there is no sequel after it.
I seriously just want to go to Japan and pay Japanese people to add another sequel (my version of course) just to satisfy all Vision of Escaflowne fans. It was so annoying how they went seperate ways but yet they lack romantic moments, they didn't even hold hands or kiss! Even Fushigi Yuugi's  Miaka and Tamahome  had a happy ending with a following sequel.
I know the author's comment on why VOE ended that way was that because it was suppose to be a mature way of handling that type of scenario. Plus the main character Van and Hitomi was suppose to love each other maturely not in a lust sort type of way so kissing and holding hands was not appropriate for it. BUT still! It still didn't satisfy me! I mean I reckon if they had another sequel where it is not all mature fans will be so happy even if first is kinda annoying ending.

Let me state who are the couples I want in my recent addiction

  1. Skip Beat
    The couple has to be Tsugara Ren and Mogami Kyoko!
    Fuuwa Sho can rot in hell :)
    I love the fact that Ren is a dark head and mysterious! He has a real genuine smile and a 'fake it and hide it' smile, I think it is love! I also love the fact that Kyoko fought back when Sho humiliated her by using her as his maid, not like some other girls that will try to get famous so that they will win their first love.






  2. Gakuen Alice
    • Natsume Hyuuga and Mikan 
    • Narumi and Yuka Azumi (Mikan's Mom; even though I prefer Mikan's biological father more, but he is dead so she needs to move on)
    • Misaki and Hotaru (Yes I know he is a teacher and there is a huge age gap but I just think they look cute, plus mikan's biological parents have a huge age gap so might as well do another one)
    • Ruka Pyon - waiting for Mikan until Natsume is dead (Yes I know very cruel but because Natsume's alice will decrease Natsume's life span when it is always put to use so there you go.)
    • Sumire 'Perm' and mind reading boy (I will not like Ruka and Sumire pairing, I think it does not match at all, since Perm is such an obsessive freak.
  3. Forbidden Kiss



    • Haeun and her step brother Shin
      -->Even though I want Haeun and her Oppa because seriously I think he's sweet and mature but Shin is a thick wall. Then Haeun can be annoying and use her Oppa as an obstacle for Shin becoming jealous and aggressive.
      The master is kinda annoying and I HATE the fact that he slapped Haeun on their first meeting. I mean seriously do Korean guys hit dumb and clueless girls? I mean yes they deserved to be slapped by why do it literally? I think it is degrading, instantly guys who hit girls are a big turn off for me!
      Anyway I read the spoilers and from the sound of this manga sounds like the korean tv novel called Endless Love, so my craziness for this manga might die out eventually because that Endless love kinda story sort of killed me inside. 



    Oh God these lovey dovey couple are back from my side,  I am not jealous or anything but you guys just show too much display of affection !
