Hiya everyone! For anyone who doesn't know me, or has forgotten me, (which is more than likely!) I'm Kairi from England, UK. I'm into lots of different anime and manga, as well as various video games. =D
I have to admit that I haven't seen a great deal of s-CRY-ed really, but my favourite character so far has to be Kanami! It's awesome how she's so young, but so responsible, and to top it off she's just so cute!
Oh, and thanks very much for the e-mail telling me you'd moved, I kinda lost the other site after I was offline for a long time, and I was wondering how people were doing. =3

Hey! Welcome.... or welcome back, maybe; I'm not entirely sure which applies in this case, what with everything having moved an all! XD Glad to know that email wasn't just an annoyance in everyone's inbox Don't know about anyone else, but I definitely rememebr you - and I still have that cute little drawing of Kanami you sent me for the site back before the move. Have you seen it on the new server yet? I'm still putting the finishing touches on the site in general, but the bulk of it is up and running, including all of the fan art... Anyway, How've you been? Still drawing? Doing anything interesting?

Hii! Welcome. I love video games and anime too. How much of s-CRY-ed have you seen?

Thank you! Yeah, the cute Kanami piccy.. I hope I've improved a lil since then! Yep, still drawing, but not so much lately as I've had some kind of "creativity block" for some reason. I can do lil sketches but whenever I try to draw anything more I mess up totally or just don't finish. >.<
I have 2 DVDs of s-CRY-ed at the moment, just having problems finding the rest in the stores over here.. Guess I'll have to order them online sometime, when I get around to it. I love what I have seen of it though. n_n Kinda got caught up in Death Note and Bleach more recently though. The mangas that is. L is hawt. >.>;

I know the feeling. I've been working on the same illustration for weeks now... given that it is complicated, but I've been totaly unable to motivate myself to put in the hours to finish it... I keep whittling away my free time with quick oekaki doodles instead ^^'
Have you tried Amazon.com? I think they do international shipping, and you can get it cheaper from some of the marketplace sellers... it's where I buy most of my DVDs ^^' Actually, shipping for you might be cheaper from Amazon.co.uk, come to think of it... but I can't comment on the prices there because I never remember the conversion rate for pounds-to-dollars.
XD My sister spent the last CTCon we went to hugging every L she could see. She'd totally agree with you there. I'm a Bleach fan myself, but I've been frustrated as of late because I've been unable to get the scanlations of it... the site I was using closed -.-' I keep buying the licensed english translation by VIZ just to be fair, but a) they're slow to release it and b) their translation absolutely sucks.

Yay, I think I'm unblocked now! I tried drawing a new avatar, and I think it turned out okay! I'll certainly check out Amazon, thanks very much for that! Yeah. <3 L, and Near is awesomely cute too! I get my Bleach chapters from bleachexile.com, you have to register though, just so you know. =3 I want to get the actual books at some point, but it's a shame to hear that that they don't translate well. =/

From the avatar, I'd say you've definitely improved since I last saw your work It's cute As for the Bleach translations... what really irks me is that once they get to the SS arc, VIZ decides to translate like, all of the zanpakutou's names, except for a few of the major characters' (i.e. Zangetsu is still Zangetsu, Zabimaru is still Zabimaru, but they changed Houzukimaru to "Winter Cherry" and Fujukujaku to "Wisteria Peacock" and so on). By the way, if you really want to watch s-CRY-ed without having to get it shipped, several episodes are up on YouTube (not sure if they have the whole series, but at least some of it). I don't generally support that sort of thing unless you buy the official DVDs, too, just for fairness's sake, but it is there... depends on how impatient you are, I guess ^^'

Aww, thank you! *hugs* I think it's a cute pic too. Just a lil randomness from my head! XD I see what you mean about the translations now, soem fansubs seem to do the same for some reason. =/ That kind of thing gets on my nerves too. I think I'll look into getting the DVDs first, and see what my funds are like before I resort to the YouTube option. Thanks for letting me know it's there though. =3 I might be lucky as far as funds go, because it was my birhday on the 8th, and all I've had so far is a CD. So I could try using the puppy dog eyes routine to get some relatives to give me the money for them. =P On a side note, is the fan works board exclusively for s-CRY-ed stuff? Just thought I'd ask, but it would make sense if it is. I'd hate to put something in the wrong place and cause the hassle of moving it. n_n;

Ah, happy belated birthday, then! I'd definiely resort to the begging 'n pleading and puppy eyes in that case XD If they're unwilling even after that, claim it's educational ^^ Interesting and thought-provoking political commentary or something of the sort The fanworks board is for s-CRY-ed stuff only, but if you want to post some other-series-related things on the OT board, by all means, go ahead! ^^ I don't mind when they have, like, a translation of a name when it first shows up, because it's an interesting bit of trivia, but when they start replacing that name with the translation, it bugs me. Actually, I don't terribly like it when they flip around names I'm used to seeing in Japanese syntax, either. Since I watched s-CRY-ed in English first, I didn't so much have that issue. Besides, many of the characters don't really have last names - (i.e. Kazuma, Biff, Unkei), they never call others by their full names (i.e. Kimishima, Kigetsuki), and some they didn't even bother to flip (i.e. Straight Cougar, Ryu Tairen - although the latter caused a lot of people to think Ryuhou's family name is "Tairen" when it's actually "Ryu." Ryu Ryuhou. Heh. ) It really got on my nerves in the manga when they flipped Cougar's name, though... but, then, most of the time the manga got on my nerves ^^' But seriously, Cougar Straight? That just sounds.... not right to my anime-acclimated ears. (And just for the sake of reminding myself... I totally have to go over to the censored words list and take out some of the stupid ones... I don't know if you noticed in my last reply, but the automatic-censor thing just tried to block out "peacock." It also, by default, censors "spoon." As in, the eating utensil. If you can read both of those normally, then it means I've edited the censored list ^^')
