D. Gray-Man and Books

Just today I finished the D. Gray-Man anime...yeah, I know, the anime finished a year ago...actually about 1 year, 1 month, and a few days to be exact o.o; I just never took the time to watch it...mostly cause I started bawling once I found out...which was a week after the anime ended -shakes head-
It's too bad they ended it after the whole HQ invasion arc. I wanted to see Kid Kanda and Lavi D: so cute~<3 <3 <3 but then, ending it before it is kinda...a better kind of ending I guess o.o -sigh- why does Katsura have to injure herself so much D: Look at Reborn! It's still going, and the 2 series started around the same time...in manga time, not sure bout the anime ones.
Anyways!! It's so sad to watch it D: SO NOSTALGIC!! I believe I stopped watching it while it was still the Ending 6 one. Yeah, I remember loving that song a lot xD

But to think...there woulda been like 42 new episodes if the anime didn't end D: and like 42 new chapters too!!! BUWAH!!! Then, again, there's been like 40 chapters since the chapter where the anime ended (chap 157). Course, they didn't do the chapters 158-170 or they wouldn't be able to end it that well I'm guessing...

Aside from that, I made a D. Gray-Man OC :3 Well, I had 3 before but...there not really that good >.>;;; I really like my new one though...I'm gonna have her appear in the Istanbul mission, the one they talked about it chapter 186. My OC, Sayuri Wu (she's half Japanese and Chinese) works at an inn there and stuff. Yeah, she's adopted. I dunno what language they speak there @.@ Now she's gonna be even MORE bilingual. Maybe I'll her languages be 'English, Cantonese and French'. It was originally 'English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese' but...too Multilingual @.@ Took our Mandarin cause I'm guessing Cantonese was more bigger than Mandarin back in the 19th Century and Japanese because...even though this is a JAPANESE anime (duh), the Black Order was originally in ENGLAND (dunno bout there new home though) so...they obviously speak English >.>; ...I think...England's English right? @.@
Sides, Japan was taken over by Akumas so...no need for Japanese eheh...
I put French cause I THINK Istanbul speaks 'English, French and German' so says Wikipedia...And German...ehhhh...I pick French -sigh- Well, SHE'S adopted so her adopted mother will speak to the customers @.@

Aside from that, her mother is Japanese and her father is Chinese (which is why she has a japanese first name but a chinese surname). She's an orphan cause...of whatever reason.

When Allen, Lenalee, Kanda, those two Third Exorcists (forgot Goushi and Tokusa), Link and I'm guessing 2 Finders go there, they go to the inn where they meet the innkeeper (Sayuri's step mom). Then, they meet Sayuri and all. Blah blah blah, they look for the Exorcist around the area (there's been reports that someone has been destroying Akuma there). Then, AKUMAS attack @.@ You see Allen, Lenalee and Kanda pwning them all and etc. Uh something happens, and Sayuri realizes she's an Exorcist and all.
Everyone doesn't understand anything since it shows Sayuri had the Innocence all along but she never knew it was an Innocence, or that she was an Exorcist so everyone's confused as to who has been destroying the Akuma. The 2 Finders stay at Istanbul to check things out while the Exorcists, Third Exorcists, Link and Sayuri go back. Allen, Lenalee and Kanda go get patched up and etc and Sayuri has to be seen by the Gatekeeper (unless he's not there since they changed HQ so I may have to change this part) and the Gatekeeper screams 'Akuma Blood' and Sayuri goes all 'wai-what?!?!?' and Allen, Lenalee and Kanda are surprised but since they are injured, Lavi goes out to fight her. She gets all confused and tries to only block the attacks, since the only way to activate her Innocence, she needs her blood and the only thing around to cut her are rocks which could infect her...after a while she goes all 'oh screw it!' and gets herself and counters back which shows that she is using an Innocence and all.
She then becomes an apprentice of Winters Sokaro, who she is actually scared of, and is seen training her stamina which she seriously lacks.

that's the whole I've got o.o;; Well, I've got more but they're little parts from different parts of the whole story...eheh. And they include many spoilers. Sadly, I still haven't thought of the Innocence's name...orz...


Aside from that, yesterday I went to Chapters yesterday since my friend told me you can manga there. It's actually true; they've got a small section for manga. A small section as in, one bookshelf =.=;; And there was no D. Gray-Man D: D: D: D: hm, maybe I shoulda just bought the D.N. Angel ones sine I can't find D.N. Angel online...but I've only actually watched the anime...scratch that, I skipped like 8 episodes...I watched the first like 15, then just skipped to the last episode eheh...actually I only watched a part of the last episode...lol

So, I bought some 'How to draw' books there. There was some How to draw Figures and How to draw Landscapes. I got them...the Figure one creeps me out though. There are naked people in there @.@ and yeah, I know, I'm 14 now seriously, but still...uck...I only bought it so I could draw anatomy correctly. And hands...I still can't draw the 'outstretched hand' position. And I don't think it's on there =.=;; I need a real life person and take a picture of it...-sigh-
I bought the Landscape ones cause it will probably help me with my Background problem D: Now, to input those skills into manga styles..lol
The last book I bought was 'How to draw Manga'. One thing I absolutely HATED at the 'How to' section was that ALL the 'How to draw Manga' related books are NA CREATED!! SERIOUSLY!! I REALLY wanted to find a 'How to draw Manga' by a JAPANESE person. You know, where manga originated from!! They OBVIOUSLY are gonna have better skills in manga, no offense to the NA drawers. But seriously, it's the japanese manga that's being sold the best. The pictures in the book just screamed 'comic' to me rather than 'manga'. -sigh- but it's got a variety of stuff to teach in it. The other 'How to draw Manga' book I found that was pretty good was 'How to draw Shoujo Manga' xDD It's pure shoujo wins. But technically it's telling you what a Shoujo manga has. Like, super magical girls (plus teams), the friends, the crush, the guy, the lil bro (this part is SO true though...at times), the evil dude and etc. Oh and the 'magical creatures'. I didn't get that book though xD I'm sure it was made by NA people too though since it was also a 'Complete idiot guide' (the Complete idiot guide is also on the 'How to draw Manga' one). And it's quite obvious it was MEN that drew it. Personally, I don't care if it's a guy that draws Shoujo, but most of the time, it's women that does shoujo, since it's, you know, SHOUJO!! Do men REALLY wanna draw girls having a crush on that popular guy, with her blushing and all, and then showing the kiss scene? @.@
Of course, women draw Shounen manga as well (coughKatsuraHoshinocough) but still!

So all in all, I should probably ask my friend Emily to buy me a 'How to draw Manga' book from Japan when she goes there next summer (yeah, NEXT summer -rolls eyes-). Course, it will be in Japanese but..I'll figure out how to translate it somehow lol...and there are still pictures in it -shrugs-
Maybe I'll also ask Emily to buy me the two D. Gray-Man novels. Course...I'll needa learn how to read Japanese, but hey!! One of em is about Lavi <3 <3 <3 <3

Lastly, I shoulda looked for a 'How to draw freakish evil murderous monster' book. I can't draw monsters D: Yeah, why would I want to draw monsters? Well, monsters are cool o3o Have you seen Katsura's akuma?! ...yeah, the Level 4 is seriously creepy (I find that Level 5 will be a kid-looking akuma but then, that's may be too obvious) but it's a monster @.@ I also shoulda looked for an 'armor' drawing book. I can't draw armor as well D: oh well...

mmmm, guess that's it.

Oh wait! Happy Thanksgiving to those in Canada, LIKE ME!! That's why I had no school today~ Got to sleep in...actually not really. I kept waiting every four hours cause of a ahem, woman's problem...I totally hate it. I was having a dream. Then, woke up. Then another dream. Then, woke up. I don't remember my third dream though. All I remember is the first dream had some kind of obsessive dude and I first played the girl, and then later the boy o.o; The second dream was about Sailor Moon somehow...Something about, the something is protected by the Sailor people thingys. Then, it's like Sailor White and Black...? And then it's the 3 Dragons...and I somehow become one of the dragons o.o cept the dragons turn to human form when weak so...I was in Human form. I'm sure there was the first dragon, ice dragon and something else...I was sure I was the ice dragon, but then I can see another one of em like, frozen but still moving so THAT one is the ice dragon right? o.o; so confusing -sigh-

yeah, later...
