Mint, choki and anime!!!

[Mint]

U r just getting Yu-Gi-Oh series Krum o_o They've been out for a long time here. ^^ I dont know...there are so many shows that have ppl batteling with cards <.< they are all starting to look the same.

Meh, I should find more time to watch some more anime. Lol - its really funny, ever since the "On Demand" channel came out - I stopped buying any sort of anime =D yey i no longer need to go broke XD

[choki]

it's really funny....nowadays I don't watch so much anime hahaha probably due to the lack of time and tha absence of free anime to watch. Not to mention, Dino V2 (my 8 mth old pc) had an internal CPU problem which cannot be detected unless a specialised check is being done...for no more downloading...and I hate to scan thing using laptop!!!!
Because of the USB limitations...only 2 ports...brrrrr...

[Mint]

did u fix ur computer yet Choki?

^^ I actually watched anime this weekend o.o Witch Hunter Robin and .Hack//Sign. Both very good, though i liked robin better (may be cause its a new concept)

[choki]

it turns out to be the monitor fault -_-

no time to watch anime...haha been busy with a lot of things lately

[Mint]

same here <.<
Guess what though, got an email yesterday that the first true Anime Network is up in US o.o haha 24 hours anime XD My service doesn't cary it yet, but it definitely will soon. ^-^ Then all I have to do is turn TV on when Im eating or smth XD instead of watching randomness I can watch an anime show.

Am I the only person who likes to watch TV when I eat o.o haa, probably ^^

[Krum]

I like TV and I like to eat...Or download smth and watch it and eat

[choki]

erm...I eat while watching movies in a cinema...and I eat at home when watching TV...LOL....you can roughly know my size! Super Size Me

[Mint]

its ok Choki - food is good ^-^

I have like strict rules now -_- No food after 8pm, no chocolate <_< and so on -_- suuuucks.

Lately I have only seen one Pretear episode o.o so pretty ^-^ and bought 1 manga (Suikoden III vol. 2 - very good!)

Eh, my spendings are waaaay down with this free anime tv lol, I dont remember when was the last time I bought a dvd ^-^

[choki]

Haha me too...I wonder what am I busy with... must be the Hong Kong drama serials

as for Suikoden III manga I have up till Vol 3...I shall wait for the discount season to get the rest (up to Vol 6 perhaps)
either way...manga is cheaper here than in US

[Mint]

T_T so unfair!!!!! lol

$10!!!! for a little comic book that takes minutes to read -_-

How do you like it? I remember you said that u weren't sure about getting it since it might be the same as a game. I really like it so far *-* but that is because Chris is one of my top fav game characters And u have up to vol6? o.o wow, i dont think vol.3 came out in here....

And Hong Kong drama serials ! Thats interesting *-* (do tell more)

[choki]

LOL, that's way too true...US$10 for a 15 mins reading time
Anyway where have you been all these while? It's getting quiet in BaO lately.

The reason why I bought Suikoden III - Well, I have never played Suikoden III in PS before, and judging from my previous experience with the Suikoden I and II...Suikoden III should have a good storyline and indeed it was! I only have Vol 1 to 3 so far but Vol 6 is already available in the stores. You know...too much interests and too little money

Mint, you're interested in Hong Kong serials????
I mean...wow hahaha do I sense another world domination step, a thread called Mint, choki and HK serials.

Basically, there are two broad spectrum of HK serials
1. The ancient drama (based on historical events, legends, stories from the past)
2. The modern drama (based on family dramas, sci fi, and many more)
(LOL...it seems like most shows are split into these 2 categories anyway)

[Mint]

Uh, work, projects,...taking lots of my time.

I am going to be away also for next 2 weeks for vacation.

Suikoden III - The plot was awsome. I can't wait till volume 3 comes out. Who is your fav. character so far?

You know couple of years ago I remember flipping channels on TV and I saw what I am now sure was an ancient drama ^-^ haa I think someone was trying to poison the emperor but he had a guy to taste his food and that taster guy died instead o.o

It seems that here we only have modern dramas. Hee - they have Sci Fi drama too? ^.^ Is the only thing that survives the time is HK? ^-^

oh wait o_o I think I saw a little piece of an episode of modern drama too. But I don't know what that was about.... A poor girl working as a maid at this rich mean lady's home...And some other 2 women were trying to steal jewelery...At least thats what it looked like to me. I was just thinking how pretty the house looked.

Lol, Mint, choki and HK serials sounds good. The closer we get to the world domination the better!! XD You can write about your fav. shows ^-^ What sort of shows do you prefer by the way? Ancient? Modern?

[choki]

I guess for now, my fav character is Chris Lightfellow. I mean the first 3 volumes focused more on her than Hugo.


Lol...but that is weird...for a non-chinese to watch those HK drama esp those ancient/period drama because of its historical events
(China has over 5000 years of history and with so much dynasties having stories of their own - there's loads for the scriptwriter to write about)

hmmm...because of my extensive knowledge about history (compared to my peers) I find ancient dramas more appealing to me but of course if it is crappy I won't like it. And all those kung fu skills hahaha I wonder when will I master the ability to 'fly' the way those experts.

Sci-fi...well, it is a minority and I doubt it is that well-received. HK serials got less of superheroes if you know what I mean

Modern shows are usually about family oriented stuffs or business rivalry often involved in family matters. If the plot is good, I don't mind watching

[Mint]

yeey, Chris is my fav. too!!!

Its good that you r watching serials that have a lot of history in them. I mean, you can learn things while you watch them ^-^

I dont really watch much tv in general lately x_x serials that i do watch means basically that i see 1 eps. in a month

Choki - if you ever learn how to fly like that......tell me?please? LOL

By the way do you have scary shows like X-files o.o

[choki]

You mean does HK serials have horror shows? Of course, but not so much on aliens...they are more of the supernatural type such as ghosts, spirits.
Seriously, if you ask me to compared horror movies between Hollywood production and the Asian production, I would say the Asian ones are scarier because they deal with ghosts - something which is deeper embedded in our asian cultures because most of us believe there are such things in the world.
Example, The Ring (japanese version)

Hmmm, there is one thing I find weird about kungfu movies that made quite a big name in the West. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...seriously...I have no idea what the movie is about except for its nice martial choreography ooooh and their qing gong (the inner qi force that they can use to fly!!!!)
