WARNING : These are all my drawings. Please comment and do not hotlink.

Notes : I drew these from November 26 up until December 7 of 2009. At that time I still don't have an internet connection that's why I spent the time drawing. 

My favorites (art not character) are Rikkai dai Fuzoku's Kirihara and Hyoutei Gakuen's Shishido Ryou. I think I pretty messed up Rikkai dai Fuzoku's Jackal Kuwahara and Sanada Genichirou. I didn't manage to finish all the Hyoutei characters but I am still planning to. After Hyoutei I'll definitely head to Shitenhouji. I'm thinking if I will still draw Higa Chuu. 

Anyway, I'm still a beginner and I admit that I'm really no good in drawing. I just want to see how I improve in this aspect. Since I am an otaku, I should learn how to at least draw.

Lastly, forgive the awful pixels of the camera and the way I took the pictures. The sketchpad is too large for our scanner that's why I preferred to use cellphone camera.

SEIYUU TRIVIA - Suwabe Junichi

Since there are tons of characters that he gave his awesome voice with and my blogger starts crashing after trying to post the list of his characters played, just search for his roles in Anime News Network. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=48696.

Review:

As I've said, he is one of my favorite seiyuus. I first noticed him in Prince of Tennis as Atobe Keigo. It made me realize that he's the one behind the voices of Greed (Full Metal Alchemist), Archer (Fate/Stay Night), and Akatsuki Kain (Vampire Knight). Little did I know about him so I tried searching more of his character roles and watched some of the anime where he's in it. 

I started searching for more of his songs after becoming a fan of him. I also checks his blogsite everytime I open my own blog. You can click on the image of Suwabe-san on the right part of my blogsite and it'll directly link you to his. It's in Japanese format so I'm so sorry for those who can't really understand Japanese. 

One of my favorite Suwabe Junichi songs is Riyuu as Atobe Keigo. If you're a huge fan of Prince of Tennis, you'll definitely fall for the lyrics or maybe if you're like me, make you cry. If I am not mistaken, the song hit the billboard at top 8 and made an accomplishment for all the Prince of Tennis character songs.

Meme 2

 What anime are you watching now?

I'm currently watching 5 animes right now. I'm completely into Soul Eater (even though I'm the worst because I just started watching it 2 days ago), X, Clannad, following Inuyasha:The Final Act, and Kimi ni Todoke.

• And your favourite place?

Infront of laptop

• Your favourite OST?

This is kind of difficult. I like Tsubasa Chronicles, Inuyasha, 07 Ghost, Cardcaptor Sakura, Soul Eater, Bleach, Naruto, Prince of Tennis, and Harukanaru Toki no Naka de OSTs.

• What is the most difficult anime you’ve ever watched?

What exactly does the word "difficult" here means? I don't know, I haven't encountered such problem before. 

• What was the first anime you remember watching?

Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball Z and Lupin III. I remember them watching in Filipino dub though.

• Do you have a comfort show that you re-watch?

I can watch Prince of Tennis over and over again if you want me too. Just give me tons of time.

• What is the most erotic anime you’ve watched?

Erotic huh? Hn? I don't know, maybe it's DNA^2. I used to fast-forward those scenes and just focused on the story so I can't say that I really watched it.

• Which classic should you have watched?

For me, I should watch Miyazaki Hayao's animes. I watched some but I got to forgot easily the titles.

• Which series did you never want to end?

Of course, the Prince of Tennis. I was just thinking if the 3rd years graduated what will happen next but I don't want that to happen too. I'm a bit, err, REALLY biased here because it's my favorite anime

• What is your most overrated anime?

Just like everyone else, it'll surely be The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I just forced myself to watch it until the very last episode of the first season because everyone's fussing about it. I managed to watch some episodes of season 2 but I'm really disappointed with the first few episodes especially the DEJA VU part. They should've aired it in 2 episodes then concluded everything in the 3rd airing.

• Which character could you have an affair with?

What affair? I want to have him!! Of course, it'll be Atobe Keigo. At this moment I'm more into Yukimura Seiichi but thinking that he can use yips if I did something wrong it's kind of scary and we both have illness so I don't want to be bothered by his disease too. Besides, Atobe Keigo is rich and like me a BIG character so maybe we're really for each other. *laughs*

• Who is your favourite character?

As of now, I like Death the Kid of Soul Eater since I'm watching it now.

• Which character do you most dislike?

I hate...? I don't like Kikyo of Inuyasha. My sisters like her but I'm getting irritated when I see her in the series. I jumped with joy after learning that she died in Inuyasha. I think she's the true antagonist in the series not Naraku. *evil laugh*

• Which character do you identify with most?

This is an easy question, IZUMI KONATA. Who can't identify her?

• Which anime changed your life?

Anime that changed my life? It's definitely YU YU HAKUSHO. Since it's the first anime that I remembered watching, I got the idea that Anime is wonderful and I want more.

Go through the list and check off the titles you have watched. For our purposes, "watching" a title means that for TV and OVA series, you have to have seen at least one episode. For one-shots, you have to have seen the whole thing. At the end of each genre/category, add up your sub-total. At the very end, add up the sub-totals to come up with your grand total. If your grand total is 80 or over, congratulations -- you are an obsessive anime watcher!

GRAND TOTAL - 97 ANIMES!! (Is my addition right?!)

Comments: I know all the anime titles listed here it's just I don't like some of the stories and the genres. No Shoujo-Ai nor Shounen-Ai involved huh? The only Shounen-Ai that I've watched is Kyou Kara Maou that's why I didn't check any at that part. For the romance animes, I think the creator of this meme should put more title since it's the one I've been searching always. Shounen Onmyouji and Harukanaru Toki no Naka de is not in the Historical and Alternate History Section.

All in all, the meme is fine but I'm still pretty disappointed with my results. Am I only at this point of being an otaku or I am just only 15 years old and still have lots more to work on? Mada mada ka? As long as I passed this meme/quiz, it's fine right? Considering my age and everything.
