I've had the same layout/icons for a while now and it really felt like it was time for a change.
My layout is all new and sparkly clean. I wanted something light/bright after how dark the last one was. It's a nice change of pace, you know?
I've... put off the meme for a while now, but I guess I should actually see something through for once. So I'll go ahead and at least attempt to get back on track. I'm not doing all 14 days at once though, that'd be silly. So I'll just do day 2 for now and call it good.
Day 2 - One of your Favorite anime you’ve watched so far
Favorite anime out of everything I've ever watched ever? You don't want much from me, do you meme?
See, I find it nearly impossible to answer this question because I'm really more of a "which genre am I in the mood for?" type person. So my favorite depends on my mood and which genre I want to watch at that moment in time.
So ultimately to answer this question I looked at my still rather incomplete MAL anime list and went "Which one of these series would I watch over every other series on that list?" and that's how I came up with the answer.
Record of Lodoss War OVA
This is probably one of the first if not the first anime that I ever watched in it's entirety. After all, back in the day my parents didn't approve of anything animated that came from Japan and since I was a youngester it was harder to get around them to watch things. (my internet access wasn't so great then. Young people these days have it so easy!)
How I got the approval for watching this one, was kind of ironic really. It was during the school year and my family had arrangements to go for a vacation in Colorado for a week/week and a half. I actually begged off because I didn't want to miss that much school and for once my parents agreed to let me stay behind. Feeling unnaturally generous, they agrreed to let me rent a couple of movies for the week. (My parents knew even then that I'm too much of a goody two shoes to throw wild parties while they're away) Luckily for me, the step-dad was the one who took me out to go rent the movies. And so I asked him if I could get an anime since no one else would be home. He agreed basically because I was already 17 or so at the time anyway and "what did it hurt if I wasn't tainting anyone else in the house with my anime ways" not that he said it in those words.
Anyways, onto the anime itself now that my nostalgia is out of the way. Record of Lodoss War is, ironically, based off of someone's DnD (or a game like it) campaign. So it's actually got a pretty typical party set up. You've got the young adventurer Parn who's a total green horn but has a good heart. The old, grumpy dwarf axeman who's really a softy if you can find the right spot. The well meaning cleric, the wizard/sorcerer who wants to fully master his craft, and the hot elf chic who's good with a rapier and can summon nature spirits too. The characters are enjoyable, there's not a single one of them that I dislike. The minor characters can be pretty amazing as well even some of the villains aren't bad. The plot's pretty standard for a campaign I suppose. It's got evil kings trying to conquer and unify areas of land, secret sects who want to revive ancient goddesses of destruction, and a rogue witch from an ancient civilization who watches over everything and moves the characters around like their pawns on her cheeseboard.
Otherwise known as it's bloody fantastic and you should all watch it. Not Chronicles of the Heroic knight, that's a totally different series and mutilates some of the characters. Not Crystania either, that's another unfortunate spin off.
So now onto finding a new mood theme and updating my icons. :D

I was beginning to think I was the only person ever to watch it besides Mom.
no subject
Damn. Oh well, I tried. Anyways yes still
But yes, you're certainly not the only one Ariiiii~
no subject
But yes! AAAAAA sohappy. This pleases me greatly (and lmao Deedlits icon).
no subject
That's because it's my Deedlit journal, be kinda weird if it didn't have any icons of Deed on it.no subject
too true. /gets distracted watching her ears flickno subject
XD I love that icon, it's too cute.no subject
I actually have to dig out my
bootlegVHS's and rewatch the whole series again though. Haven't rewatched it in yeeearsTotes isno subject
rofl, it's so much easier just to stream it online though and so much better quality half the time.Then again that goes for Deedlit as a whole. ;A;no subject
well hello. 8D This is indeed and bright and wonderful. Bonus points for sparkly Asianses everywhere.
......I know nothing about this anime, but hiiiiiii *nerd waves from the back* =w=
no subject
Who is this stranger and why are they showing up in my journal? DDD:I'm kidding!Co-Ed School. I am obsessed with them. If you haven't seen their music video for too late you have to watch it. D: It involves awesomeness and butt shaking, and sparkly Koreans being hot over everything.
no subject
I AM A STRANGER and I am ashamed. ;w;Koreans never stop sparkling, watch the hell out. ♥♥
no subject
You know, my momma always told me to never talk to stranger. Maybe I shouldn't talk to you. ._. Are you a nice stranger or a bad stranger?... okay, I'll stop the Persona 3 references now. I swear, I've probably gotten a bajillion times nerdier since the last time you talked to me as hard as that might be to believe.
This is true. *_* I feel like such a pedo. Most of the guys are legal ,but the guy I've been slightly obsessing over's only 17. Better than my roomie's pick, she's all for Sungmin who's like... 14. I've been teasing her about being a Shota-con.
yesss do watch. it's awesome korean hip hop/pop thingy that's just fantastic and rotting my brain. And they're all so cuteeee
fffff gtfo out Yongy, no one wants you or your ahoge around here.no subject
I am the best kind of stranger ever, do you doubt me and MY sparkles? :CNerds are great, I am not worried~~
Shota man, it happens. 8|a It's all part of their plans.
WHAT WHYYYYY. AHOGE CRUELTY.no subject
Yes, because your sparkles originated from Korea or some shit like that I bet. ._. Though I guess it's not so bad because at least they're not knock offs from China... I don't think I can fit too many more Hetalia-inspired stereotypes in that strikeout.
Random other people on my f-list who see this I'm totally not racist okay, it's totally just a joke. ;A;I've also been much more video-gamey playing too. Also I've moved, did you know that? XD; I hear you did to though. Hyne we really should catch up on things sometime.
Yeah it does. Shota happens man, nothing you can do but accept it and move on I guess.
Because it's fun. >3... Aaaaah noes not that anything but that. ;A;
no subject
China-hyung wishes his sparkles were as good as ours. >8| rofl political correctness what is that /ruined by Hetalia foreverI heard you moved! But yes we really should, holy crap.
Do not be afraid, it can be your friend. (●`ヮ´●)೨
no subject
Unless you're a frog. Stupid frogs.No not even then. XD Even if mum and I have both gone "ehehehe we are British let us randomly quip about frogs to fill out the stereotype", neither one of us actually means it ever.Unless they're smelly frogs.Yeah, it's certainly been a while.
My msn hasn't changed fyiAhhhh I don't want something with such a huge ahoge to be my friend get it awayyyyy
no subject

Please tell me I didn't just get groped by a prehensile ahoge. D:
no subject
Like your layout. It's clean and simple.
no subject
It is! I really wanted somethig that was clean and simple, bright and refreshing after how the last one had been kinda dark and gloomy.
no subject
And hey, Chronicles of the Heroic Knight was kind of mediocre, but it sure had a beautiful opening sequence. If the show itself had at least looked that amazing it would have been more forgivable.
no subject
Oh no, don't get me wrong! I love Kiseki no Umi! It's one of my favorite anime songs of all time!
