Let's see..

1. Clannad
- Hands down, my favorite romance anime.

2. Honey and Clover
- I liked how the story didn't overplay itself, and it went very smoothly.

3. Kare Kano
- Sad that the anime had to end on that part, but still romantic on an overall basis. How falling in love can never be that simple even if you think it isn't.

4. Kimi ni Todoke
- Beautiful, in a word.

5. Lovely Complex
- Hilarious, lovable and touching in a well-rounded story.

6. Ai Yori Aoshi
- I liked the premise very well, especially the first episode.

Honorable mentions:

Junjou Romantica
- I know it's a yaoi anime, but several of the story parts were too romantic to pass up. I wanted it to be on my 6 but Ai Yori was more romantic than it.

Amagami SS
- If this thourougly satisfies me until the end, I might make it my #3 and bump #6 off my list.

Shuffle!
- The anime version made me feel a bit good inside after I saw it, so I also wanted it on my list. But weighing... it's a bit lower.

A more frequent user than me ^_^

Mysterious-lookin' chap.

How about a hug?

Hug ya!

9/10... if it has Yuffie it should have at least 9 in my book.

- Cool dude to have around.
- So far I haven't seen him change his avatar, it's always the Pedobear.

Here's another six-pack divided by two. If we can make it 80 by today it'll be nice.

Currently I wear t-shirts and basketball shorts at home.

Sounds very marketable. If John Cena doesn't have the title come Elimination Chamber, hopefully he gets booked in this one.

Hugs all around!

Cuddle!

8.9/10

Green hair, and headphones. Cuteness is a given.

I'd feel mad as well if I was in your position. Sorry to hear that.

Ain't surprised a bit, some in Japan are like that. Mose likely this "San Roze" place is run by Japanese nationalists. My older cousin told me one such tale when he was working in Japan, he was once in a drinking pub run by such - he looks predominantly Chinese due to his mother, he easily blended in - and was drinking with a couple of Japanese buddies who smuggled him in. He saw the door lady was talking to a couple of black Americans. The lady kept saying sorry and showed them the door. They also had two muscular Japanese as bouncers behind the lady.

So I assumed they have this "Appearances Evaluation Personnel" in these weird places - like a checklist. I can imagine the internal dialogue: "Asian skin? Yep. Epicanthic fold eyes? Yep. Can speak Japanese fluently? Yep. Let him in? Yep." Sad but definitely likely.

But eventually these places will bend once awareness of this fact goes around and business starts stalling.

May be a sad memory, but don't let it deter your life in Japan.

It does look great, IMO. I hope they do fix it soon, just now I re-checked my profile page and it looks like this:


The profile URL is also nicely changed now (URL rewriting is always recommended, makes the page more accessible) :)
