Quote by riku-chanEphie.. ^^;;;; Haven't talked to you in ages!

Check this out.. http://www.ntv.co.jp/tantei-q/2006/index.html
Tantei Gakuen Q in live action! o-o Have you heard about this? Just thought it was interesting even though I didn't like the movie much..

Lols. Yea. Sorry about that. Been busy with all kinds of stuffs. In fact I'm pretty sleepy right now. O.O''

Yeah, Tantei Gakuen in live-action. I saw the cover of the dvd once in a store. The characters don't resemble the original characters in the manga at all. But I think I know which one is Ryu though, gah, he's so just cool.

By the way, I've got my hands on the final chapter. T.T It's just plain touching. To think Mr. Dan passed away because of some unknown illness. *sobs*

Owh yeah, talk about live-action dramas, I just happened to watch Hana Yori Dango 2 few weeks ago. Now that is really some touching story. And I think I've fallen in love with Utada Hikaru's Flavour of Life.

Hi Riku-chan! How have you been? We have talked for ages.

Sorry, I wasn't able to reply your last post in the guestbook, have been terribly busy trying to be alive in college. But NO MORE, for now. Ehehe.

Did you just say Nodame Cantabile Live Action?! I'M SO LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THAT. I managed to watch the anime few weeks ago after my friend lended me the dvd and I thought "OMG. This is just so goood. Classical music is <3"

And when I thought the anime was pretty nice, I caught a glimpse of the live action review in a blog and MAN, that's just HILARIOUS! I told myself it's a must watch and I'm desperate to watch it now~

I had a friend of mine to download them for me. ^^ Not sure if he's done with the downloads though.

Hi there. Thanks for your comment on my ink drawing. You mentioned TRC? I'm not familiar with that artist (?). The whole design of the horse is actually one I usually only use for my dragon work, but I decided to adapt it in different way. I'm glad you liked the result ^^

Thanks ^^ I actually have yet to see TRC or most of CLAMP's recent work...I should probably take a look.

Thank you for adding "Destined to Love" tp ur fav ^^

Have a nice day~

Quote by riku-chanWell if you're one who is satiable by story and not artwork, would you think its worthwhile watching the 2006 version. I saw about 3 episodes and gave the rest a miss.. ^^;

It's very dependant on personal tastes. If you watched the first 3 episodes and didn't like the style or flow of the show then I'll point out that it doesn't really change. In terms of the storyline it is rather slow paced however the emotional parts don't come until a bit further into it.

In all honesty, if you didn't enjoy the first couple of episodes then you could probably give it a miss, but at the same time if you watch it through you might reach the end and have changed your mind ^.^

Quote by riku-chanVery creative and the colours work very well with the scan as well. There's a nice flow to it, very nice complement to your story. Keep it up!

Yeah, tis complement the story so well...

Thnx for the nice comment!

Hi^^ I'm here to wish you a very

Welcome to Arina Tanemura Fans...

Quote by riku-chanNice work cleaning. ^-^.. the Maria-sama ga miteru OVA was not bad at all. And we finally have desktops to celebrate it. I was planning to make something similar, but seeing this there's no need too!

Thanks for retaining the quality, the image doesn't get pixelated even on a higher resolution screen.

Thank you very much! The first Marimite OVA was indeed lovely, wasn't it? ^^ And we can never have enough Marimite wallpapers!

You're welcome, glad it turned out well and that you like it~! :3

Quote by riku-chanI believe it was the novel translations~ However, the complete translations are up to volume 6 on wiki.

The novels actually have a radiance of their own, definitely worth a read. I think spoilers won't affect your watching experience too, they can even be used for comparison if you're worried about that.^^ I actually do comparisons for the Maria-sama ga miteru series.

I just downloaded Volumes 1-3 in pdf format from the Wiki guys. In fact they also showed me how to print them and bind them into a softcover book too haha.

Hi ^^

Thank you for add me to your WL

See Ya

Quote by riku-chanHaruhi-ism has shown through ~ xD;

I wonder what material they will use though.. since the novels have already been animated. But seeing as their original material in the first instalment was great.. I suppose we will see more eye-candy come 2007.

Only the first novel and small parts of later novels has been animated, lots of material to use still...probably enough for 4 seasons if they really really wanted. xD

Quote by riku-chanHaha ^^; I was seeing as from the translated work on wikipedia which all were covered in the anime. I've never read the actual Japanese novel. (Though I'm learning Japanese, the novels aren't readily available and my skills are mediocre) Thanks for correcting me though.. I believe there are 5 volumes? I wouldn't mind if Haruhi became a long-running series like Bleach too.. 4 seasons WOULD be nice. xD;

There are 8 short novels...and I think a 9th in the works right now. The wiki you looked at...was that the novel translations? They've got almost all 8 of them finished so far. I haven't read them myself but I'm considering it.

Allo Allo!

Quote by riku-chanxD;; Ephie is a fan of Jay Chou? ^^

I love the rationale behind this, the design also resembles that of a Chinese painting. The patterns are very beautifully used and there is a sense of flow. Very nicely executed!

YEESSHH! ^^ His music is just too original~ <3333

Yeap, now that you mention it, it does looks like a Chinese painting. I wanted to add fancy old Chinese fonts but I don't have Chinese Star. But glad you liked it. ^^

Quote by riku-chanVery nice landscaping indeed, the planets, clouds and ripples are all to perfection. I would have liked to see Ruri blend into the wallpaper more (perhaps remove her outline) ^^;;; but thats just me, great work on the concept, keep it up!

Thanks for your comment on my Digital Fairy: Hoshino Ruri wallpaper, riku-chan!
