Re: Back for the Holidays~

hi tiff!

happy 2012!

How was your year? I'm sure someone has already asked you that but seeing how popular your thread is... I don't wanna scroll back It feels good to be back home after tedious work in a foreign country, and especially feels great that I'd been able to go online again! After ages! And it's taking me DAYS to get my manga downloads back on track- I haven't even begun reading to catch up!

how about your manga reading for this year?

Re: Back for the Holidays~

Welcome back!

Nobody's asked me about my year yet, actually, so no worries there (am I really still popular? xD). To be perfectly honest, last year was kind of a blur, especially August on. A few really good things happened, like finally getting my own permanent store to work at and being able to host a really fun mod meet. But overall, I can't say that 2011 was one of my favorites, unfortunately. I'm hoping 2012 will be better... and that we get a 2013. xD

Manga reading? I almost forget what that is. I've barely read any manga at all for months now. It's so bad that I'm not even caught up with the big 3... I'm about 3-4 chapters behind on each one of them. I'm only caught up with HxH out of all of my usual weeklies. It's not that I love it any less, I think I need to get my routine back... or something. It's hard to explain.

What are you going to read first?

Re: Back for the Holidays~

Ah, being behind by two months and following a little less than a fifty manga, you can imagine the whirlpool I'm in right now trying to keep track of where I left off on each one.

I'd been slaving for days, and it's worse that my internet connection is below average speed.

I'm still hoping we can meet in 2014 in Brazil, hehe.

Re: Back for the Holidays~

Yes, yes, I love your avatar's comeback. It's been too long (you were global). I had a feeling it would return *Psychiiiiic*

Don't you keep a reading list somewhere to organize? Like a MAL or on MU? I'd never remember where I was with anything without it.... especially now that I don't even read my regularly scheduled releases right away.

I wanna meet~~

Thank you, thank you. Had to bring it back with the sequel. This is one of my top two favorite avys I've ever used (the other being the Ling avy I used to use way back when <3). Seriously, though, it's quite popular. I used to get multiple PMs daily asking where it was from. xD

Re: Back for the Holidays~



I get that too, but it makes sense that female avatars attract people more, hm?

You should totally bring back Ling sometime. I really liked that avatar too.

Have you watched episode 1 yet?

It does around here, yeah.

Thanks, I might someday. I actually miss that avy a lot. I had some of my best times at MH when I was wearing it. :3

Have you watched episode 1 yet?

I have not. Just downloaded it, actually. Planning to watch it sometime tonight after dinner, which I'm going to go grab shortly. Have you watched it yet? If so, what'd you think? (no spoilz of course )

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Back for the Holidays~

I watched early this afternoon. I fanboyed. Everything you liked about Bakemonogatari is back, though I would say this episode was basically a prologue to the new series. I'm already craving episode 2.

I will say that episode 1 would not make a damn bit of sense to anyone who did not watch Bakemonogatari. There is not even the barest of attempts to introduce the franchise to the uninitiated.

Still no word on when Kizumonogatari will be in theaters

 

[baboysai]

Re: Back for the Holidays~

I'm having second thoughts about that prologue- since what I really wanted was the sequel, lol.

so this uh... reading list. how does it work, exactly? haha. Well, I just open my folders one by one to see where I read last.

My system goes: I have a "TO READ" folder where all downloads go. and as I've read from this folder I transfer them to my archives which are organized as complete or ongoing. Each has subfolders of series and one-shots. Then series are categorized according to demographic.

Sounds like a good system....all these online lists exist only for people to brag IMO

I know we already talked about this on IRC, but I watched the first ep and loved it, too. I found myself feeling very nostalgic. <3 I thought it was kind of nice to have this little prologue, actually, instead of just jumping right into the real story. But, like you said, if you hadn't seen the first series, you'd be totally lost. I haven't checked to see if ep 2 is out yet or not, but I think it should be soon, no?

Boo for no word on the movie yet.

That does sound like a pretty good system, actually. The online lists have a few extra benefits, imo, like letting you make a wish list of what you want to read in the future as well as letting you know if there are newly scanlated chapters that you haven't read (in MU's case). The second one is why I finally switched over to using MU exclusively. Much more useful, especially since I'm always behind on everything. You can also make custom lists using MU, but I haven't ever taken the time to sit down and do that. I may in the future if I ever get the motivation to do so. Currently, I have a reading list, on hold list, completed list, wish list, and unfinished (dropped) list.

What are you reading right now, btw?

I suppose it's nice to be able to show off a little bit, but I don't even link to mine anymore. How do you organize/keep track of stuff?

Update on a weekly basis I suppose...or sth

 

[igotthegoods]

Re: Back for the Holidays~

I update as I read, but not necessarily chapter-by-chapter if I'm reading in larger batches. How about you, bene?

I don't have a list....

Well...I have a list here on MH with my top 25 manga, but that's all...I am relying on my memory and my browser's pin tab ability to remember what to read...

But even so I always forget, so......

Re: Back for the Holidays~

Not reading anything new. But rereading some old ones.

I just read Hot Gimmick again and I really enjoyed it a lot.

Now I'm up for rereading Hana Yori Dango (which I hope you would read), Ranma 1/2, and Genshiken.

Ah wait, I also started on A Girl By The Sea.

I was only half-kidding. I used to use MU's list, but now I don't even use that. I guess I don't really organize/keep track really, but I do something similar to what BB does.

Re: Back for the Holidays~

haha, Genshiken is win, hands down, tiffany. You should read it
