I have been watching some seasonal here and there. I just started school, so I probably won't have time to watch much anyway.
Some of my fav songs from BP are Lovesick Girl, DDU-DU DDU-DU, Whistle and Playing with Fire.
Much more than that actually and it's been a while since I read any manga in English. I even had to go out of town recently, working hard for something I ordered online as of late. Going out of town is cool because of different stores that I get to go to sometimes plus thriftier pharmacies (some sell water cheaper than others). I go to a free Wifi zone while waiting for my bus sometimes where my Motorola would be useful.
Hobby-wise, I'm more focused on the Japanese dialogue of Wild Arms 2. Lots of retro RPG fans say that the translation from Sony is really bad. In other words, people have to have 7th grade level Japanese to actually enjoy it.
Reading the Japanese dialogue makes more sense than waiting for a retranslation which will never happen. Once the Tokage guys (Liz and Ard in the American copy) make an appearance, the translation from Sony goes to waste as they attempt poetry, haiku more specifically. Other than that, I hope to master jōyō kanji via that heavy dialogue by the second half of disc two. That way, I'll be ready for RAW manga and my future college degree.
40 hours? My penpal from Georgia told me that she worked about that long. Truth be told, I moved to Mexico some time after graduation where nobody works that long. Though bakeries and taco shops have the habit of working at night.
Other than that, tomorrow will be a very big day for me. Sometimes, I'm expected to cook organ meat for neighbor dogs, but at least I get paid without having to go out of town all the time.
I never read Blast of Tempest and I've been very busy recently. Busy with replaying Wild Arms 2 in Japanese, busy with getting full jōyō kanji, etc. The only manga that I'm interested in reading this year is Silent Möbius QD, the sequel to that other manga by Kia Asamiya.
As for Mandarin, I only know that I'll get mine to about sixth grade level after replaying said retro game in Japanese. Jōyō kanji is the equivalent of grades 1 to six Mandarin according to some Chinese American.
Maybe I'll check out this Ushijima-kun manga after Silent Möbius QD which I easily put over battle shounen, family life and manga that that are too mainstream for me. The most mainstream manga that I read as of late was Trigun Maximum and I just love Yasuhiro Nightow's character designs. Another manga that I'll read eventually is Pluto which my long time xennial friend loves.
Truth be told, I'm more familiar with Astro Boy than Pluto. I relate to that classic manga easily because I grew up with old superhero cartoons.
With the help of this awesome online dictionary called Nihongodera.
It can translate almost any Chinese character to hiragana, romaji and English. As simple as copying and pasting. So yeah! It's totally user-friendly and that's why I love it. Now jōyō kanji is no longer that confusing. I should have learned Japanese a long time ago.
Other than that, what do you love most about Akira Ishida?
My semitomboyish friend from North Carolina knows him as Athrun and yes, she grew up with Gundam SEED. She's usually crazy about historical and sci-fi manga. She's kind of a bibliophile, but I read books too, though out of urgency (I want a PhD so it's anything goes).
Even crazy about Rose of Versailles, her absolute favorite shoujo manga.
I feel like it's been ages since I last heard from Romi Park.
I totally forgot about that last message I sent you and I feel like it's been ages since I last read School Rumble.
Lately, I've been studying Japanese arduously and I'll learn as much Japanese as possible so that I'll enjoy Silent Möbius QD a lot more (thanks to the late Boyé-sensei for getting me started).
I look forward to replaying Wild Arms 2 in Japanese also. It appears to have a story so deep that Sony couldn't understand.
Well, if you aren't a fan of monsters of the week, you probably wouldn't like PreCure. The series does use that. It uses it well, imho, but it does use it.
Here's what defines a good instalment of PreCure though:
Endearing characters
Loads of Lesyay
Actual action sequences. A lot of magical girl stuff will have stock magic attacks but Precure has actual punching, kicking, body slamming and other physical stuff with the stock footage magic attacks being used as finishers.
& Redeemable antagonists. Every good Precure series I've watched has had some antagonists, usually not the big bad but some of their generals, have redemption arcs that are interesting to watch.
Nanoha StrikerS would come close. As would Doki Doki Precure and Madoka. But if I had to pick a favourite magical girl series, it would be Sailor Moon Stars.

The American copy sucks and I'm not biased.
