*jumps off cliff* woo hoo! i can Apparate! *squish*
it is nice when people are brought together by an interest... especially when it's a book... the alien form of media in our electronic world. ^_^

thanks for posting on my thread!
as with many popular series, there is always something better. but... still many people like them and read more. yay!

thanks for posting on my thread!
haha.. my sister's into Naruto (she's not on this site, though). books don't really become mainstream, do they? they stay contained in their own little worlds... *hint hint nudge nudge* read more! *cough*

thanks for posting on my thread!
cults? there are Harry Potter cults? now that's a little freakish. yes people... there are other books. *smile*

thanks for posting on my thread!

thanks for posting on my thread!
i will attempt to pressure you into reading Harry Potter now... the movies truly don't do it justice. ^_^

thanks for posting on my thread!
yes... i would like a Harry Potter toothpick. *grins*
to me, it just looks odd when something from a book appears with a TM symbol next to it. but whatever. copyright laws are necessary, i guess. fro uncreative people who can't think up their own stuff.

thanks for posting on my thread!
the more Potter-fans, the better!

thanks for posting on my thread!
gah... those sceptics...

thanks for posting on my thread!
i hope the corporations are not taking advantage of J. K. Rowling... i just think that if i were a famous author, i would not want people constantly trying to make products out of my work, but that is just me, i guess. hopefully the movies and the books are kept in separate worlds.
if one thing brings people together so much, then it cannot be bad.

thanks for posting on my thread!
i do not understand this whole "Harry Potter is evil and magic is the devil" thing. that is a little too extremist. people are learning to read from Harry Potter? that's good. *cannot imagine being illiterate*

thanks for posting on my thread!
i do not get how people cannot like Harry Potter... it just appeals to so many people, which adds to its popularity... unless those people are against Harry Potter because it is so popular, which isn't a very good reason.... eh. but i used to think like that. rebel without a cause.
i like your userpage. ^_^

thanks for posting on my thread!
there is something addicting about Harry Potter... perhaps... it is truly magic...
yes, our family fought last year over who would get to read the fifth book first... this year it was a little calmer, though.

thank you for your views on my thread!
popularity definitely has its upsides and its downsides... i like what you said about Star Wars being ruined before Lucas got a chance to... Phantom Menace seemed to be lacking something. i felt like the characters were saying the same things over and over.
yes, but back to Harry Potter. i wasn't really accusing J. K. Rowling of stealing an idea, i was just curious if this was true. (after all, no idea is unique.) but regardless, Harry Potter is definitely a good cultural phenomenon if it has encouraged people to read more. like you and i do already. ^_~

Quote by UltraMarineThis topic brings back memories....I was a huge fan of the series some years ago. I ended up spending $$$ on the artbooks, trading cards, etc. I first got interested in it when I watched a fansubbed version of the anime . Too bad it never had a second season to continue on the story. I ended up getting all 27 volumes of the japanese manga to find out what happens up til the end. It was worth the purchase.

hehe. i'm glad it was worth it. there are trading cards? i think i'll have to walk over to the asian market near my house and try to find those, and keep spending $$$.
see you around!

Quote by sailoruniverseyes.. basara is my greatest manga. it is really good. I suggest people who are just gettin into anime and manga, to read basara. Its for the normal people that believe that manga and anime is childish . But i do suggest any fan at all to read basara. it is really reallly good.
So Read Basara people!!! the best manga out there.. truly touching

thanks for posting on my thread. ^_^
i used to be a bit of a moonie myself... sailor mars is the best. ^_~
well, see you around.

thanks for replying to my post...
i never really thought about things that way... i mean, i understand the whole Yin Yang concept, but sometimes i forget that there has to be both good and bad in the world... and... get caught up in dreams of a perfect world, but maybe our world is perfect, just the way it is, flawed like it should be... anyway, thanks.

and your userpage is very pretty. ^_^

Quote by IcyFyrenope! lol! sorry but thats not my favorite number! nice guess though! thx for writting on my thread!

but it is my favorite number... ^_^
happy to post on any random thread you can dish out.

more than glad to join your group. ^_-
yes... i have read Imadoki!, Ayashi no Ceres (i need the eleventh one...) and most of Fushigi Yuugi.
and my avatar is from Kodocha (along with some other random images)... definitely one of my favorite manga, and the first one i read in its entirety (except for Sailor Moon).
you have just inspired me to *attempt* to customize my userpage. yay!

^_^ uhh so ur not from where i came from? well, i was just curius..wat
kind of mangoes did you like from our country? uh and may i ask
permision 2 b ur friend?^_^

sure, you can be my friend! i'm not on this site too often... but soon final exams will be over and it will be summer vacation! yahoo!
hmm... mangoes... the carabao kind, i believe. i dunno... it says 'from the philipines' on the package. heh. my crazy band friends call the mangoes 'cocaine' because they can't stop eating them. ^_^

Quote by DarkRhainyo, thnx...i was kinduh touched 'bout wat you said(i the forum) mostly
'bout the "suffering is what unite us all" thing...the way i lok at it,
it true..thnx again...^_^

thank you for making me think! i should try more of that...
that concept is mostly from i heart huckabees, which is a bizarrely hilarious deep movie. (that i highly recommend... ^_-) apparently i can't think for myself... but it is still the truth.
i try my hardest to get through to people... and i guess it works sometimes.
phillipines, eh? the mangoes i like come from there... *that's all i know about the country. sad little thing, ignorance is...*

Quote: I love Tsubasa! Such a great manga! And I
know what you mean about wanting to cry (I didn't feel like crying, but
it was sad). Fuu is really neat, too...she is really clever; the way
she tricked Ferio into accompanying the three girls was pure genius!
And as a couple, Fuu and Ferio rock! You made a great choice in reading
that series...MKR was my second series, and it remains one of my
favorites! Koryu is so funny! The way he picks on Kohaku is really
amusing....it's his own way of showing how he cares. And his reaction
to Kohaku and Shuichiro (sp?) is so funny! He always gets mad and
flustered...another really good series! Ruri and Hari...gosh, Clamp
comes up with so many great characters!
Anyway, nice to hear from you after so long, and thanks for posting in
my thread! See you around, and 'bye for now~

yeah.. i'm back. i couldn't stay away for too long...
it's not that my life has gotten less busy, it's that i'm wasting more time on the internet.
CLAMP does come up with awesome characters... i think the thing i like best about all their series is the "pure love" aspect of it, which is hard to accomplish in this "teen angst shojo" world we live in. they're like manga fairy tales almost...
i must go to a bookstore very soon. my money must be spent.
talk to you again... soonish...
