Admittedly there seem to be stranger and stranger pokemon, not all of them good (seriously, the starter pokemon are laaaame, except for maaaaybe the snake), but have you seen the legendaries for the 5th gen? OH. MY. GAWD. They are beautiful. I think the only thing they've been consistent with good quality are the legendaries!
And this pokemon is okay (weird name though):

Pokemon 5th Generation
You know, I wish Pokemon would stop making new Pokemon. They recently released pictures of some of the new Pokemon in the 5th generations. None of them have been at all interesting . The mouse thing was kinda cute, but not in an interesting way.
I thought they could sink no lower than Bronzor: the poker chip with eyes.
I was wrong. Now they have a Pokemon that looks like a gear with eyes.
STOP MAKING SUCH STUPID NEW POKEMON! There weren't even many good ones in the 4th generations. STOP ALREADY!

Full Metal Alchemist Finale
So, I went on Deviantart and saw a picture of Winry hugging Ed and Al. The caption said that FMA was done.
I went O_O
and dashed to the nearest manga sight. Sure enough, the last chapter was up.
FMA IS DONE!!!! Oh MY GOD!!!
The whole time I was reading the ending I was like
TT^TT
But in a happy way!! Aww!
I like the 2nd to last page where they show all the snapshots and you can see what happens in the future. Aww! YAAAAYYYYY!!!!
So, don't look at the pictures if you don't want spoilers. I just had to put them up!!!!!

Cartoons
There aren't any good cartoons on anymore. Everything on Disney is pretty bad. They should play some of the old Disney cartoons! What else is the Disney Channel good for?
All the cartoons are so 2 dimensional. There's absolutely NO skill involved in their drawing. And the little I've seen of them looks so STUPID. I swear, it's gonna scar the kids that watch them. My cousin said it perfectly: It dumbs kids down.
Rugrats
Hey Arnold
Wild Thornberries (I used to love that cause the girl could talk to animals)
Chalk Zone
Doug
Spongebob was OK at first, but now it's just as bad as everything else.
Those were fun to watch! There's nothing like that on anymore. I wish they'd re-run them!
Stupid, mean, immature.
Some level of stupidness can be fun. Same with immature. But these cartoons nowadays are NOT the good kinds of stupid and immature.

The Smallest Dragon Boy
I read this short story, "The Smallest Dragonboy," in 7th grade. It was in a big textbook full of short stories. I think it must have been tweaked slightly to make more sense since it was based off a long series of books (The Dragonriders of Pern).
This story, I think, is the roots for me being so much into dragons. I never disliked them, but that story really fascinated me. And it took a while after it for me to REALLY love dragons as much as I do now. (I'm not sure what the exact turning point for THAT was, but it was only a few years ago).
I haven't read many of the Pern books. I read that short story, the harper series, and then the first 2 books in the main series. I've heard that the books bog down after that, though I'm not sure. The one about the white dragon seems interesting.
Back in middle school, I started planning to steal the color-scheme setup of the dragons. I had planned to steal a LOT of stuff back then. Blatant thefts. Not even discrete ones (Most authors do minor thefts). But anyway, I have my own dragon system now! Take that! And no, I didn't steal the telepathy thing from Pern. I got it straight form the source - the Animal communicator that I know.
It was a couple years ago that I decided to go on a search for "The Smallest Dragonboy." I looked it up and found it in a book of short stories. I bought it. I don't like any of the other short stories, but at least I have "The Smallest Dragonboy!"
I recommend it and the harper series. The harper series starts a bit slow, but it's interesting.

Manga vs. Books
I just had an epiphany for the ending scene of my mask book! It's been bugging me for a while because I didn't know what the heck to do with the climax! So, I was sitting, staring at the computer screen for a couple minutes, and all of a sudden, BLINK! There was the idea!
I thank my guardian spirits, and even my imaginary friends! Hahah! My Idea Spirits.
Oh, at fanime, I got a REALLY good idea for a story too! As usual, I'm really excited to write it, but there's so much I'm working on right now that I won't start anything until I finish up some stuff.
So, what I'm currently working on: The Mask Story.
My Pokemon Fanfic
My Zelda Fanfic
And once I finish "Under the Masks," I'm going to need to do some MAJOR editing one it.
And then (Or at the same time) I need to start typing up Shadow Split. Since I finished Shadow Split, I haven't written more than a few solid pages of story. I don't mean notes, but actual text. It's convenient to have a binder that I carry with me when I'm writing, but to hand write a whole story that's over 200 pages... and then to have to type it up and edit it, well, that's just too much. I'm not going to hand write any more stories like that anymore. It's too much. If I'm really inspired, I'll write a few pages. That's find. Just not 200.
SOO, to the title of my post.
A couple days ago, I started thinking. And I blame this entirely on Ellen and Nicole, who started it! Manga and Anime. First of all, what is it that gets people so hooked on them? Well, anime aren't like a solid movie. Since they come in episodes, they keep you going and into the whole thing for a much longer period of time than any movie or series of movies. And unlike a lot of american cartoons, a lot of anime follow a general plot as opposed to being entirely episodic. Also, anime tend to have really awesome characters! That goes for manga too. Manga, instead of "competing" with movies, "compete" with books. Now, books come in series too. But they don't have pictures with them! (I've heard that the idea for american comic books was taken from manga! Hahah!)
So, like I said, a couple days ago, I started thinking. Writing books, and writing manga. Manga can be so enthralling! They're so different from normal books. For a moment, I thought that manga would be a better thing to work on than books. I should get into that instead of writing. I sort of mentally gave myself a smack . Of course not! First of all, I would NEVER have the patience (nor likely the skill) to illustrate an entire thing like that. And the only real writing that is shown in the manga is the dialogue. The rest is shown in the images.
But more importantly, I really LOVE to just write! To try to place my images and thoughts down for others to see and be touched by. Yes, good manga can be really good. But they're not books. Books are good too! They cna br great! And they also allow the reader some degree of freedom to let their imagination roam.
I like to write books. That's what I'm sticking with.
However, if anyone ever wanted to turn my stories into manga, that would be awesome too! Assuming they did a good job. Like Ellen, who started doing a couple of pages of "Moon Dragon" in manga form! You should do more of that!
And the manga version of Maximum Ride was really good too.

Fanime
^-^
Thanks, Steph.
We're gonna come and visit you at the restaurant! I've convinced Mom and Dad (or at least Dad) to come since Ellen and Nicole aren't out of school yet. Anyway, I really want to try ramen, because the only ramen I've ever had is the one packaged brand, which is pretty good. What kind of ramen would you recommend? (I don't like miso in soup though, so not that). And we even got Japanese food when we went down for fanime! There was ramen on the menu, but I didn't get it. And now I wish that I did.
Fanime was fun! I like to look at all the booths. But I can really only stand about half an hour of masquerade before I start feeling really BLA and wishing I were elsewhere. Except all the shops close, so I can't look around and I didn't bring a book while Ellen, Nicole, John, Daniel, and co were at Masquerade. So I had to sit and feel really ugh. I don't like loud (and immature) stuff for too long, and most of the skits in masquerade are exactly that.
Anyway, except for that, I did have a lot of fun! One day was plenty for me. The whole weekend (last year) was a bit of an overload. And this year I knew more anime things, so I wasn't QUITE so lost.
I got an Ed figurine. And after I got home I realized that it was the first time that I bought a figurine of a human. Almost all of my figures, statues, plushies, pictures, etc, are animals or strange creatures, or even animal-ish humans (fairies, ex). There have been occasions where I've bought a pack of things that had humans in it, but I didn't get the pack for the human figures I got it for the other figures.
So, my Ed figurine is a first. In the figure he's not wearing his jacket though. Which is too bad. I really like his jacket. They had Ed's jacket for sale there at fanime, but it was over $60. Sigh. Where would I wear it, anyway? Even if it is really cool!!
So, yes, I'm rambling about fanime. And it's taken me several days to post because I just got back from Yosemite today with my family. It's very pretty up there! I need wings to fly up to all the peaks! I have decided that the Magic-Earth Yosemite will host flocks of Anjels (the winged bird people) in one of my upcoming stories. I dunno which yet though. I just really want to do it! Though dragons would be awesome there too!
