PLEASE WATCH THIS NEW MOVIE BY HAYAO MIYAZAKI! ^-^ It is called "Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea" by Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki, who is known for his movies (just naming off a few on the top of my head..) : My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind, Spirited Away, and many more! :3 He has an amazing imagination, and this is possibly his second-to-last film. The story begins with a young fish named Ponyo who has ran away from her home in the sea. She meets or is "captured" by a five-year-old boy named Sosuke. They grow fond of each other, but Ponyo is soon found and taken back to her home by her father. Sosuke is distraught and he constantly wishes he could see her again. They eventually meet again; but how? ^^ (the ending was so heartwarming, I thought I was going to cry :P) Please watch the movie! I highly recommend watching the original Japanese film with english subbing. This is purely my opinion: I find that in Miyazaki movies, the actual Japanese voices seem to understand the concept of the situation and emotion of the scene more than the Disney translated versions. Therefore, I watched the Japanese dubbed film. It was an amazing movie with exceptional art you can only find from the imagination of Hayao Miyazaki, the music was AMAZING (Please listen to other songs by Joe Hisaishi), and you couldn't help but fall in love with the characters. It was definitely worth all the money and I enjoyed it fully.

Alritee.. I apologize for erasing all my dear friends/groups on IMEEM, but I am completely violated from making friends/groups on any website (in other words "talking to strangers," but anyways..) Again, my deepest apologies for not notifying anyone (not that anyone really cares.. -_-) and just wanted to let everyone know about the big changes around here..?

Yeahyeah.. discussion time over, I need to go beat up some irritating people in FFX.. (tidus=♥ ^^)

::I, Nekozawa vi Britannia, command you to become an animanga addict! ^.^

Haii everyone! ^_^ It's been months since I've made a blog post, so might as well make one now. I'll just tell you a few more things about myself.. x3

So.. a question and answer session?

Q: Do you like music?
A: YESSSSSS! -fangirl shriek- Of course I love music, you moron... T_T (Question asker: ..jzz.. SRYY..) Lemme see.. I enjoy listening to K-pop and J-pop the most. I'm not a huge fan of American music. My top five favorite Korean groups/soloists are 에픽하이, 동방신기 (DBSK/TVXQ), Tae-Yeon of 소녀시대 (SNSD Girl's Generation), Younha, and Big Bang. I listen to a large variety of K-pop, but these are probably my favorites.. ^_^ My top five favorite Japanese groups/soloists... TOO MANY.. I enjoy listening to the OSTs of anime, as well as regular albums. I LOVE BoA, Hitomi, Orange Range, Flow, Jinn, Access, Ali Project, Sunset Swish, Buono!, Kawabe Cheiko, Nana Mizuki, Kanon Wakeshima, ON/OFF, Ritsuko Okazaki, Stephenie, and the list goes on.. Music really makes up my life. I never leave my house without my iPod ^^

Q: Do you enjoy sports? Going outside?
A: .................... [Question asker: ...o_o;;;] Well, I happen to enjoy some sports. I love swimming and ice skating. I'm alright at tennis (taking lessons this summer) and badminton. I'm AWFUL at running. Basketball gives me nightmares (every year, I get hit in the head by a basketball.. it's an annual tradition T_T) I'm horrible at mini golf/real-life golf. I'm almost a pro at Wii golf (Irrelevant, I know..) I never tried boxing (never will). Decent at arm wrestling. Apparently, some people think I'm decently strong.. o_O (I was in shock for a few minutes there..) But, I enjoy walking outside on nice days. My definition of "good weather" is (pickyyy): Sun hides behind clouds in a light blue sky, so it's not too hot. But there's a slight breeze so the trees sway little by little in every gust of wind.. I enjoy lying on high, grassy hills during this kind of weather.. (daydreaminggg -drool-) Right. So next question?

Q: Uhh.. next time? This is kinda dragging....
A: -throttle-
