Uh, lovely! The shonen-ai thread prospers! I have to keep up *writes furiously*
Kase:Ah, not so monstrous... but the Gravi chat goes to the Gravi topic, right

Argh, better not to even care about flame email. People who send stuff like that aren't people whose opinions matter. (Oh? Did I really say that? And I value everyone's opnions...

)
Drat, I really can't remember that part! I will check in my manga, but maybe it will appear in later volumes? Oh well...

Rage... rage... Oh I never thought about the fact if it was a boy's or a girl's name.. not that it matters. It seems like in all languages any name can be both
okay then! I'll send the Remixes by email, when I remember(Yup I'm happy to give anything to anyone...wierd me

) The eps probably have to go through MSN or something.. but I warned you that they're
bad , not fansubs.. I think they're rips, so if you don't want anything like that...I however will watch anything

(yup I have morals..but..) but I prefer fan subs.
If you want to send me scans and translation, then thanks! Hmm... but DVDs I can't buy online... because of the "credit card, me being an idiot" -thing
Yup, Yami no Matsuei is licensed

and I have the first volume! Actually the second one is out already, but it will probably take ages till we get in Finland *frowns*
Hah! I have that same thing with looking up information about a serieses that I'm interested in. In fact that's a way to judge how much I like a series

If I'm spending my time on numerous pages... I know I'm addicted

And I also spoil myself pretty often

I realy, really don't do it on purpose. It just happens. people tend to say "you're always spoiling yourself" and I have to tell them (in vain) that it's an accident. While watching FMA's last ep I realised how "fun*, not spoiling myself can be. I was sooo excited(but that was FMA

) of course with nobody else having seen the ep either there wasn't much time for spoiling... I did spoil a few other things from earlier eps though(accident..)... but enough about that
Wierd that you're not a fan of shoujo(must be the cutesy stuff

) It
does have the most shonen-ai possibilities...
Mirage of Blaze? I might have heard of it... maybe. manga/anime? You've read it/ watched it? Sounds a bit like Eerie Queerie

. It's bound to be good then!
Izu: A Yami no Matsuei fan! Great! *dances around*. You've seen the anime too? read all the mangas?
Hmm.. I love Tsuzuki's name(it means something In Japanese, but I don't know what...)! *hugs Tsuzuki*. I mean, if he's called by his last name, then hie is... I don't actually see how it makes a difference. According to what I've seen characters just happen to choose either one. Maybe I sometimes prefer them choosing the first name, because it seems more "familiar" and makes me look at relationships in different ways...I don't know. I just heard that around here calling people by their last name is an insult.. huh? Depends of the people I guess. In Japan isn't it more polite? oh, I wouldn't know...
DarkWater Alchemist: Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't know much about animes/mangas.. I mean, I know very little! Plus you can talk about anything to do with shonen-ai, like Harry Potter

Plus, I bet you couldn't even spam..
SailorSev: hmm... I must say that I really like shonen-ai/yaoi, and really don't care much for shoujo ai/yuri, but I can't say much since I haven't encountered stuff like that. I used to feel really uncomfortable with seeing two girls kiss, (actually the same thing was with guys too) Now I don't really mind that much, but it's still not the same as watching two guys. Actually shonen-ai/yaoi taught me to not feel so freaky about shoujo ai/yuri... I might not really fancy it as a genre alone, but having it in an anime probably wouldn't bother me.
I suppose it's like Kase said. Girls and guys don't want to imagine theirselves in that position. With girls seeing two men"getting it on" gives them a chance to visualise experiences without the woman being in a lower position. Seeing two girls like that could be degrading for a girl... and probably guys don't like seeing other guys as the "weakier half"
And to the other thing... I consider myself quite religious... I suppose... Anyway, many things in the Bible are questionable to me. I certainly didn't like reading about how people would be punsihed and stuff like that. The person who made the rules kind of slew people for mistakes and favoured his own people, so I'm not going to take everything literally.. I really don't like the Old Testament anyway..makes me cry..
But I've always, always considered every true love to be acceptable, even when I was "homophobic". People talk about loving one another in the Bible and then forbid romantic love between those of the same gender? Pretty contradictory.. plus in my opnion certain relationships between men in the Bible were questionable
Oh, I wrote long again... don't be afraid.

EDIT: Kase, you
did notice the Shonen-Ai award you got in the awards thread? It proves something doesn't it? (okay, I got it too, but I think you're more deserving

) Just wondering, because you didn't comment on it there..
