I would recommend 'Skip Beat!' and 'Princess Tutu'. The first is a pretty accessible romantic comedy about a girl who wants to get into showbiz.... to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend. The latter, is a magical girl anime, although the magical fights aren't so much fights but magical ballet competitions; and it has an incredibly deceptively simple looking yet rich plots in an anime series.

@, No worries, and I'd still be interested in a sig please, if you don't mind. I'd like my sig to have this pic on the left: And this pic on the right: And if it could read: "Welcome to my Nightmare I think you're gonna like it!" That would be super awesome.

Reading a book on martial arts....

This is very true, as music is expressive in nature. Meaning it would be quite natural for a person to like pieces of music that range in tone from happy to sad and anything in between; as that reflects human experience.Although the danger I fear is if someone listens to one type and tone of music exclusively, as I would be concerned for such a ones well-being. We all will have almost a "base tone" or "key" if you like ( mine would most certainly be a minor key ), but being incapable of enjoying other types would be problematic. I remember reading once how in Traditional Chinese Medicine this was in effect the view, so listening to music of different "tones" was healthy; while the alternative could become detrimental to ones health and mental state.

I remember listening to that as a kid at my Grandmother's house on cassette tapes no less. I suppose I liked it at the time, and it certainly is interesting to hear that it went on as long as it did. Going by what I remember, it was much better than other stuff aimed at a younger age group ( with the exception of Veggie Tales back in the day).

Name: Blake ( but if you wish to call me Virgil that's fine... just don't call me Shirley) Age: 25 Country: Dallas, Texas, USA Dislikes: I'm rather bad at small talk, so I'm not big on conversations like "How about team so and so", if you get the general idea. Likes Music: Bach, Mozart (I mostly like Baroque era classical), Chopin, Gilbert & Sullivan, Alice Cooper, Bob Dylan, The Who, Queen, Jethro Tull, Jimi Hendrix ( most 60-70s rock honestly), I do like some jazz in particular Dixieland and Bebop; I'm fond of older musicals ( only newer one I really like is Les Miserables); Folk music of a wide variety. Books: ... I read just about anything under the sun it seems sometimes. As an example I might at one time go back and forth between a Theological work (normally quite old), Philosophy, some history, cultural studies, an old novel, or perhaps some shojo manga (I'm a sucker for light romantic comedies okay ). Movies: well to give you a good idea of what I like in this area.... My top 5 favorite movies are: Whisper of the Heart, My Fair Lady, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Amazing Grace ( its a biopic on William Wilberforce ), Princess Mononoke. Art: I generally prefer Renaissance Art, but I like some Romantic period stuff as well, Impressionism to some extent, and I like some surrealist artwork. My favorite Artist is Gustave Dore. TV: I watch some Anime ( a show called Princess Tutu is likely my favorite) of different genres but mostly of the comedy/slice of life/ romance sort I suppose. I will watch darker stories but they have to have a very good story and some type of moral to justify any violence or what have you for me to watch them. I also will watch some sitcoms and the like ( my taste in anime genres generally carries over to 'regular tv' ), but I do like the occasional crime drama ( I like the 'who done it?' type stuff), travel shows, and some other educational programming (particularly of the historical variety). Hobbies: I'm student of Kung-Fu ( although martial arts is more of a lifestyle than a hobby); I'm trying to run a RP on another site to help me get started with my writing, which I would like get into and hope to use the RP to refine my skills as a writer. I also, collect Vinyl records btw. Other info: Reformed Baptist ( but don't worry, just cuz you're not Christian doesn't mean we can't be friends. I sometimes find myself preferring an honest Atheist/ Muslim/ Buddhist or what have you over many supposed Christians at times), I help teach 3rd-5th graders during Sunday School, and I'm currently working on a BA in Biblical Studies. I might be something of an Anglophile and a Japanophile ( odd combo I know ). Also, if there is probably a bunch of stuff I didn't list under 'likes', because I seem to pick up interests like a kid picks up seashells on the beach; so, feel free to start a conversation about something even if I didn't list it .

Brotherhood, has the best weapons, move lists, and best balanced side missions/ actvities. 4 was much better on having side missions, but Brotherhood tied them into the game play better I think. Location was also more interesting.
