(Really Late) Top 10!

Alriiight... Finally found the site :D so anywaysss... Top 10 ok heeere we go (btw, all mangas I still haven't had time to watch anime, except Witch Hunter Robin, also #1 is pretty set and definite but #2-10 are always changing and switching around so this is just right now) :)
1. Paradise Kiss - Amazing. I loved the art and the storyline was awesome. I've reread it so many times and I've seriously fallen in love with the characters (Yukari is kinda... irritating at times, but still, she's kinda like that super irritating older sister... not that I'd know as an only child. don't judge).
2. D. Gray-Man - Awesome story and really original concept. Also love the art (I'm pretty simple, all of these are going to sound similar. You've been warned)
3. Ouran High School Host Club - I'm pretty sure you all know this already so I'm not even going to bother (thanks for the spoilers) -_-
4. Claymore - Yay strong female characters! It's actiony and awesome but it's not all about the guys (very few strong male characters actually)
5. Trinity Blood - BEAUTIFUL art. I love the storyline and it's a cool look at vampires that's not so typical (thanks a lot Twilight...)
6. Full Metal Alchemist - Well I'm assuming most of you have read this so I don't really think I need to explain... for those of you that haven't, well, just read it
7. Death Note - Pretty much same as #6
8. Naruto - Again... #6
9. Bleach - Aaaand... again (I'm totally just lazy)
10. Skip Beat/Fruits Basket - This is a tie! I couldn't pick :) Fruits Basket is a really cute, happy (mostly) shojo series. It's a good way to introduce someone (probably a girl, not to be stereotypical or anything) to manga/anime. Skip Beat is just hilarious :)

Totally just realized how generic this is... wow I fail (but not really because these are bomb)

ANIME CLUB 8/10

Ok guys, so, here's what we talked about during the meeting today.
We're going to do sweatshirts, recycling the logo you see on the blog, and on one arm you can put a personalized iron-on patch to make it individualistic to you. Keep in mind, THIS WILL PROBABLY BE YOU'RE SWEATSHIRT FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS. So I hope you like what you're ironing on!

Next, we'll start watching Totoro next meeting, which will be provided by Crystal!!! Yaaaaayyyyy! And we'll make our way down the Miyazaki line al the way until PONYO!!!! YAAAAAYYY!!!

And finally, we have the first page of our manga! I really like the story idea, so I think we can all agree this will be our first mini-story about the character and the first page in the overall bigger story!

Story:

Yuuko sleeps in bed, drool running down her mouth and the light from the just risen sun filtering through her window blinds. Then, a huge dark shadow moves along her wall, getting closer and closer, until finally it looms over her sleeping figure, eyes shining in the darkness. Then there's a flash of teeth and....!

Her pet panda (name TBD) holds up, her head in his/her mouth as he/she affectionately mauls her. She slowly wakes up and looks in the direction of her huge panda, and then proceeds to smile, pet the panda's neck, and say good morning just as affectionately, thanking the panda for waking her up.

This is what we all agreed on, right?

I hope so!

So, we'll talk about layout and who'll draw in a few meetings. However, if you want to do a layout of the page yourself, (just stick figures and sketches), please do! And then we can tweak it, the story, dialogue, etc. ALSO, please, for those of you who like/can draw, come up with a character sheet for Yuuko and any other characters we've discussed. I believe there is also a boy (name TBD) and her twin sister Yuuka?

Ok guys, great! We're actually getting somewhere!
Awesome job everyone!


And I know I've said this a lot, but AMAZING job during the food fair1 You all were positively wonderful and deserve five billion cookies!

Now.

Go read Kaichou wa Maid-sama and Dengeki Daisy if you haven't already started.

And 1/2 Prince.

DDDDDOOOOO IIIIITTTTT!
