Why I love manga, #1:

[edited to correct my bad spelling and other grammar stuff)
Mely: DINOSAURS!
Oyce: I know! I want more dinosaurs! Why is there not a giant subgenre of dinosaur manga?
M: I was so disappointed when they turned out to be metaphorical dinosaurs. I thought the series was going to be about human reincarnations of dinosaur scientists who set up a moonbase.
O: OMG! It so should have been!
M: Well, there is the mpreg human-looking dinosaurs live among us series, but I never got past v1.
O: O_o
O: Wow.
O: And I thought Sex Pistols was the only mpreg human-looking animals living among us series out there.
M: In retrospect, that was somewhat naive of you.
O: Truly, it was.

Why I love manga, #2:

Several of us thinking Nobuta wo Produce was a shounen-sports-take manga on a boy working with all his might to restore a grocery store, when in actuality it is a shoujo-Pygmalion manga drama.

Suddenly, the "wo Produce" part of the title makes that much more sense ("wo" signifies an object, so it is "Producing Nobuta" sort of a la producing a movie).

Still, I am sad there are no random cabbages or other vegetables of DOOM.

Why I love manga, #3:

RAISED BY PIGEONS!

(Yes! The pigeons still amuse me!)

Your turn! Tell me what has entertained you today!

I shall finish s1 tonight. My love for Zuko and Sokka is deep and abiding. Don't remotely get the Jet love. Am depressed the bounty hunter girl won't be back. Uncle Itoh rocks. Am concerned at the idea of "Aang" and" Shipping" being used in the same sentence.

Qwan is great fun. I wish I could find icon and pimp post fodder online.

Sokka = teh awesome. I am less fond of Zuko, but that is because I mercilessly mock his emo. I LOOOVE Uncle Itoh. And one of my other favorite characters gets introduced in S2.

Well, mocking Zuko's emo is kinda half the point of the character...it's emo, but it's FUN emo...

S2 character...hmm...I know of Toph, Mai and Azula. One of them, or one I don't know of?

Toooooph!

Toph is full of win and awesome and I have faith that you will think so too. :D

Well, as far as I know, we have the same opinions on everything else so far...(I went back and read non-spoilery stuff in your avatar posts earlier)
