ANIME?

[fonchen]

Hello...I looked in the avatar library and chose this one.
I'm pretty sure someone else has it but if you ever watch
the Anime style programmes, the whole 'family' usually
looks quite similar...although various rainbow shades of
hair seem an important feature. Think of me as your
Anime 'sister' or 'twin' or possibly even a 'twist in the
plot' . My kids are into these cartoons, they grew up
with Pokemon , Sakura, Dragon Ball Z and others...
It's certainly an interesting style of drawing but just
sometimes it looks a bit funny, like the kids show where
no one has a nose...thats been perplexing us

[sparrow]

Yeah and how all the girls seem to be stick figures with unusually long legs? Or maybe I'm just jealous? Who knows. Great choice, fonchen. I like anime but yeah ... the whole no nose thing is a bit creepy.

P.S. Our kids are into this stuff too. They go off it for awhile and then it all comes back with a vengeance.

I like pincachoo know not much about anime ,...ummm no noses hahahaha!!

I love the smell of roast so no wonder they got long skinny legs

nice fonchen!!

[bottlecar]

Ahhhh Sakura, I remember that stage

Daughter recently had a bit of a craze on Avatars (TV and online), i have no idea what it was, but TG she's over it.

I have to admit I've never liked those Japanese drawings, it's a bit on the freaky side.

"The smell of roast and long skinny legs?"

Misilon, perchance, are you the witch in Hansel and Gretal, and do you have Fonchen caught in the cage, fattening her up for the big feed? Come on, fess up? ;D ;D ;D

[misilon]

I do like to bribe with a lolly or so
and I can only wish, for that house of sweet goodies
fonchen needs fattening for the hundy trail ho!
her skinny legs, will never make it, poor tootsies
so me and my broom and that girl in that room
will go back to trademe primed as she should be
just give me a moment, and a lolly or two
and she will be ready I promise you

Anime .. I was looking for desktop wallpaper once and clicked on Anime and what came up was semi porn pics.
When I first saw the cartoon programs being called that, I thought, what the ?
I realised I must have clicked either above or below Anime on that site .. or is there two meanings for it? I've never been game enough to go back and have another look,
Graham might wonder what I'm into to if he is looking for something in History ;D

[maire]

As for the cartoons, I'm an oldfashioned cartoon girl, when those ones started, I lost interest, so did my youngest.

[kokonutwoman]

lol Maire, I check the history on my comp just to make sure the lads are behaving themselves so far so good.

I Like the current cartoons, as a kid could never really get into the Disney mickey mouse etc toons.

[maire]

I use History to open up other sites eg, I just used it to load the seagull pic onto Tinypic then here.
I don't know of any other way to open 2 or more sites without the first one closing.
If there is a way, I'd love to learn it

I know what you mean about the unusually
long legs, Sparrow, made more noticeable
by the seeming obligatory sailor costume
or schoolgirl outfit.
I think this style has quite a following with
adults (not just the costumes...lol.) but theres
comics, conventions and movies.

Oh yeah, Misilon...I love the way the kitchen
smells when a roast is cooking!

Hiya Bottlecar...I think Sakura translates to 'Cherry Blossoms',
I enjoyed watching that one...lol...certainly some creative
costumes involved.

I agree, Cailz...it is an odd looking style...but it grew on me.
I also think the 'Emo' look has it's roots with the Anime style,
The hairdo's...the skinny leg jeans...theres just something
about it that says 'Anime'.

It might have been a 'Manga moment', Maire
I think they can get quite 'adult'

[maire]

Cheers for that Fonchen, I'm not very clued up on expressions etc in use today.
Lol have just remembered an occasion when one of my young nieces had to explain to
me what one "naughty" expression meant. I thought then, the young seem to learn more a lot more quickly every generation.

Another recall .. the word manga is one that is used in a game I have on the computer,
Kyodai Mahjong. Pictures of manga girls are on the side of the board, but those ones are fully clothed ;D
