never thought about it before, but I don't think I've ever seen an anime character use an OK sign.


AFAIK what is an OK sign to most of the world in Japan means "money", since it has the shape of a coin. Or something like that

Yeah, it means all sorts of things all over the world. I heard that the "ok" sign meaning okay is actually fairly modern too, starting from the space race. In most countries it's an offensive gesture of varying nastiness. Actually, a rule of thumb all globetrotters learn is that pretty much every hand gesture used in north america is inappropriate outside of north america. LOL.

I'm already a person who's unable to stick to one avatar at a time but after seeing this week's nanana I HAD to make Saitama faced Jugo my avatar.

Not only was this reference so awesome and fitting but the episode in of it self was really good for the show which I was honestly getting ready to drop.

ARISE, SLUMBERING THREAD! ARISE!

In honor of a recent poll, I've decided to reuse an old avatar of mine.



You go, Kuko.

Damn she looks sexy. Why couldn't she have worn glasses all of the time?

That character reminds me rather unpleasantly of Kokonoe from Blazblue--which probably means she is better off without the glasses.

It came to my attention that my last icon freaked some people out. So here's the scene where we discover just how hard a misnomer "Toothless" is from the first movie.

Also, I am very excite for How to Train Your Dragon 2 in case you couldn't tell.

Thank you, this one isn't trying to jump out of the screen at you.

@A Mystery
The same small dragon. However it was more 3D and seemed to be attempting to crawl out of the screen. It gave me the creeps.

Wow, my last post for the last time I changed is still on the same page Confused Oh well, because I've been progressively liking nanana's buried treasure less and less with the passing weeks I kind of felt like I had to change it to something else so I figure this image of a small Frankenstein wearing arale glasses would do the trick. Hopefully I'll stay with this for longer than two months....
