I usually love anything with cats on, but this thing is creepy.. The only character I can think of that is worse, is NOVA Usagi (the mascot for the company I worked for) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...bwhaVRQ3c&NR=1
    Blue and white cat thing? I'm drawing a blank... which anime is this? o_O
    Do you have a picture or video? I'm curious to see this cat. XD

    Aw, I thought the Nova Usagi mascot was cute. ;^_^

      Dag blast it! It nommed my comments. But yeah, that thing looks like the abominable love child of a furby and the Noid.

      Maybe Cardcaptors?

      Yeah, it's a shame when a series just fizzles out. It's like all that work was for nothing.

        I haven't seen Trinity Blood yet, but I had a similar experience for Neon Genesis Evangelion... the last episodes sucked so badly, because they ran out of funding for the anime at the end. I hate when good anime fall apart at the end. u_u

          NOVA Usagi was the bane of my existence in Japan.. the beast must die!!!!

          I had written it wrong. Turns out it's 'Doraemon'



          You see him on signs outside of schools and posters telling kids not to climb or whatever. You see all kinds of plastic crap with him on and stickers and stuff.. Seems quite popular but I just don't get what is so special about him. Thought maybe he was from anime.

            I so just watched the first episode of Sailor Moon on my Wii (through youtube). I keep hoping one magical day I open up my Netflix and there it is! Sailor Moon! XD For now I'm satified with The Doctor on Doctor Who. <3 Le sigh.

            My favorite loved Animes is Gunslinger Girl, Death Note, and Eygro Proxy (sp?). FYE in my area had closed down on me before I could finish collecting all the DVD's for Death Note. I was quite sad....now I have to finish them through online shopping. I only have 3 DVD's left! Oh and some punk STOLE my live action Death Note movies from my previous apartment. Did not know this, until AFTER moving out and AFTER unpacking.

            I have to say though, I really did like Blood: The Last Vampire movie. They game close to the style of Blood +.

            Le sigh The Doctor...and Sailor Moon. I so want to get the collection for Salior Moon. I miss the show so much! :'-(

              I have not seen Doraemon, but most likely it's a "kodomo", a children's anime or manga. I tend to like the genres for teen boys and men. Though, two "shojos" like Fruits Basket and Ore-sama Teacher. And one "magical girl" anime, Sailor Moon! ^_^

              Which reminds me!!! I haven't announced my favorite anime/manga here yet!!! o_o
              I love the following: Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Darker Than Black, Black Butler, Paranoia Agent, Blood + (also Blood: The Last Vampire), Full Metal Alchemist (the movie, first Funimation series, and Brotherhood), Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost In The Shell (the movie and the series), Samurai Champloo, Witch Hunter Robin, Eden Of The East, Fruits Basket, Eureka 7, Devil May Cry (the short anime ever, based on one of my favorite video games), and anything Studio Ghibli. ^_^

              I was into the Naruto manga for a while, but long lost interest in it. Same thing happened with Bleach and Inuyasha.

              Well, I hope the thief or thieves is written into Kira's death notebook then. ;^_^
              That happened to me once, of dvds getting stolen... but it was Lord Of The Rings trilogy! I had to buy them all over again and I did. But what a pain! >_<

              Oh, Blood: The Vampire is the first movie of the manga I believe. Blood + is a spin off of the movie. ^_^

                Early sailor moon is so very expensive right now, it was cheap for a few years, after the copyright ran out, but I think someone must have bought it and clammed up...

                I had my bakaretsu hunters OVA (sorcerer Hunters.) stolen from my car along wioth all my CD's (it was there for transportation) and I have not found a new one anywhere. The manga much better than the anime, but the OVA was awesome.

                  Oh that sucks.. I love the live action of Death Note. I wasn't quite so keen on the anime. Amazing tale and very clever, but too drawn out. The way they re-wrote the ending on the live action was perfect. We recently bought these because Forbidden Planet has them in their two for 10 pound collection!

                    This could also go in the "Things that make you LOL" Thread, but I wanted to put it here.

                    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

                    merely results in Grey." -Ville Friman

                      Hahaha, that someone actually had to learn that, is impressive commitment to comedy!

                        Showed the video to JP and he ruined it for me. He said it was just bits of the dialogue strung together, albeit very cleverly cut.. Now we're even after I ruined his three legged donkey joke I guess...

                              Coolies! I love Princess Mononoke! My favorite in that one are the Kodama! ^_^
                              And Cowboy Bebop is really good! I once made a fan site for Radical Edward, when I was age 21... in fact, it's my email addy still, after all of these years (I'm 32 now). Edward is my favorite, she's a goofball like me!
