You appear to have missed a title here. Go ahead and add it, it is only four letters.


I'm not sure I understand. Is it the comma after complete? Because if it is then that's what the book is called.

@Alan45

Anime smile + sweatdrop I read the first few chapters many years ago but I didn't keep going because I'm a lazy reader. I've used the name Atreides on another forum because I thought it sounded cool and I decided to reuse it here.

But I can read it all the way through if you'd like me to.

Nah, I wouldn't ask that of anyone not an enthusiast. I read the first book of the series when it came out, but by the time the sequels came out I wasn't interested. The name and the quote sort of jumped out at me is all. I did consider the possibility that you might have been a fan of the movie. However, you had to have read the book to understand that.

It's okay. I'm just sorry that I didn't reply earlier, I have this unfortunate habit of procrastinating Anime smile + sweatdrop I will certainly enjoy my stay, and I will do my best to catch up on anime and manga titles I've been missing out on. Pretty soon I will be one of those people who won't shut up about completing a marathon-read of One Piece Laughing

@Psycho: Yay, Nutella Very Happy
@Paul: Wink Enjoy your stay here dear. There are no rules for how fast and how often you have to post. Anime and manga are meant as entertainment and so their forums as well. No need to feel pressured.
At least... that's my take on it. If Psycho says otherwise, just ignore him.

@影のありません: You just came to say hello?

Hey, guys. While I'm not new here, I felt my old introduction was kinda garbage. So, here's a questionnaire I found on the Madoka Magica wiki that I filled out. (I tweaked some of it, with some of my knowledge of the Japanese language.) I hope you enjoy..?

1. "Please tell us your name." I'm Akane the Catgirl. My real name is [REDACTED].

2. "When is your birthday?" May 22, [YEAR REDACTED].

3. "Your blood type?" I dunno.

4. "Please tell us your three sizes." I don't know the exact numbers. You could say I'm a bit on the rounder side, though...

5. "Tell us about your family composition." It's me, my mom and dad, an older sister, and a younger brother.

6. "What's your occupation?" I'm currently a student at [NAME OF SCHOOL REDACTED].

7. "Your favorite food?" Sweet pastries. I like mousse cake in particular.

8. "Favorite animal?" I like cats. Cats have good personalities.

9. "Favorite subject?" Um...lunch? If that doesn't count, I guess English or social studies.

10. "Worst subject?" I'm a pretty good student, but I don't really like anything else.

11. "Is there a boy or girl you've been thinking about?" Why can't I have a man like Tamaki Suoh? If not that, why can't I have a woman like Holo the Wise Wolf?

12. "Do you enjoy school?" Not really.

13. "Are you in any school clubs?" Nope.

14. "What's your motto?" I don't have one. Was I supposed to?

15. "Your special skills?" I guess I'm good at writing? Also, I can bake a mean batch of cookies.

16. "Tell us about your prized possession." Do not touch my cell phone. Ever.

17. "Describe yourself in one word." Shy.

18. "What are your strengths?" I try to be as nice as I can.

19. "Your weaknesses?" A lot, unfortunately...

20. "Do you have any memorable places?" Disneyland is always fun.

21. "What is your favorite drink?" Ice coffee is SOOOO good.

22. "How good can you swim?" I can NOT drown. Is that good enough?

23. "How fast can you run in 50-meters?" Not a lot. I'm slow as a turtle.

24. "Are there any trends you're into?" Not really. I tend to wait these things out.

25. "What's your least favorite food?" ONIONS. I HATE ONIONS. HATE.

26. "What do you want most right now?" A new sketchbook.

27. "Are you afraid of heights?" I don't have to deal with this most of the time, but yes. I don't like heights.

28. "Are you scared of thunder?" I wasn't until I moved to the Mediterranean coast. I don't like thunder anymore.

29. "Sunny weather or rainy weather?" I like rain more. It gives me an excuse to stay inside.

30. "What writing tool do you use at school?" Old fashioned pencils, baby.

31. "What do you eat for breakfast?" Usually, all I have is coffee.

32. "Do you believe in ghosts?" Not really.

33. "Can you play any instruments?" I used to play piano, but I forgot. I can sing pretty well, though.

34. "Indoors or outdoors?" Indoors, all the way.

35. "Do you fight with your siblings?" Sometimes. Don't most people do that?

36. "Do you have a cell phone?" Yes. IT'S MINE.

37. "How long is your commute?" I have a taxi that takes about twenty minutes to half an hour to get to [NAME OF SCHOOL REDACTED.]

38. "Do you have enough friends?" I could always use a few more.

39. "What is your favorite sport?" I don't like sports.

40. "Can you cook?" I can bake a little. I'm still learning how to cook right.

41. "What's your favorite color?" Black.

42. "What do you think is most unforgivable?" People who force their opinions on others.

43. "How tall are you?" I guess...170 centimeters? So five and a half feet.

44. "Shoe size?" Big.

45. "What do want to do when you're older?" Be an author or a critic.

46. "What do you look for in a (wo)man?" Hopefully, someone who's nice and understanding.

47. "Are you bad with hot drinks?" Yep. I don't like having my tongue burned.

48. "Do you like bitter coffee?" I have to have sugar and milk with my cup o' joe.

49. "When do you go to bed?" Late.

50. "When do you wake up?" Earlier than I want to.

Well, that's the first half. I'll post the second half next.

63. "Summer?" FREEDOM.

64. "Fall?" Cold weather.

91. "How long do you study each day?" Not a lot.

93. "What do you do on school breaks?" NOTHING. It's great.

94. "What would you like to be reborn as?" A cat. Cats have it easy.

95. "What do you feel about the school rules?" They don't bother me that much.

96. "What do you eat for lunch?" My school has good schnitzel.

97. "How many friends do you have?" I don't know. I have a lot more on here than in reality, though.

Hello, I'm FerrisGump. Despite not watching much anime, I consider myself a big fan seeing as how my favorite film and TV series are anime. I'm developing a group for anime enthusiasts around the globe called International Anime Enthusiasts, that will hopefully have an awards show this year for the best anime films and shows of 2015 in Japan! I can't wait to be a part of the Anime News Network community!
