*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 2:07 AM

Yah prolly same here. xD
I just... Find girl with boy couples easier to understand and relate to. And cuter... >.<

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 10:36 AM

Haha, thanks guys!

I'm probably the only fangirl here that doesn't like pairings at all. My motto on the subject is 'shipping is for packages, not bishies'. But~ I totally respect others' opinions, especially since I'm the odd one out. :3

*Trots over to the Kenshin FC to join*

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 10:52 AM

LOL. I don't usually appreciate made up shippings. But the relationships already in a story are fine. Otherwise shoujo would have no story. >.<

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 10:57 AM

Well, yeah, canon pairings are fine 'cause they're part of the story. I just don't go around 'supporting' them or thinking how cute they look together or those types of things. :3

One thing that bothers me is when people interpret any sort of tension or other form of love (like brotherly love) as sexual. That's just ridiculous, and frankly disrespectful.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 11:05 AM

Haha. Yah I more focus on the individual characters. Though I find myself being more opinionated when there's a love triangle. Dunno why. Haha. >_<
And I only have one or two favorite female characters. So I mostly remember the dudes anyway. -_-

Kotowari July 2nd, 2009 11:11 AM

Thank you Kinarii, and I highly agree with you. Some people should just stick to the "canon" pairing. >_>
Pairings like Elricest (Edward Elric x Alphonse Elric -FMA-), Twincest in general really, bother me a lot. Even regular pairings that make no sense. D:
I'm a girl who sticks to the canon pairing. Rimudo x Takiko, because they are so mtb... and it's highly posible that Takiko will die (highlight if you've seen/read the original Fushigi Yuugi)... So, well, I'm quite anxious. RimudoxTakiko and Dark x Rika (DN Angel,Anime) are the only pairings I 'support'. However, I do prefer some pairings in Fire Emblem-Blazing Sword over others. Like LynxRath or ... that's basically it. XD I might end up pairing Eliwood with Ninian. But frankly, I can't see any Ninian in Roy. =/

Also, I know some anime that have great Female leads. Kou Shuurei (Saiunkoku) is one of them. And for one, she likes the emperor (who's madly in love with her) but turns him down each time he asks her to marry him. She likes him, but doesn't love him. I find that quite unique for a Shoujo.

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 11:13 AM

Yeah, it's hard not to have at least some opinion if there's a love triangle.

I, too, don't really focus on female characters much. It's more fun to fan over a character that's what I want than one that's what I am.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 11:23 AM

I don't like those kind of pairings either. I mean really... There's a point where it becomes ridiculous. If it could never happen, and you write a fanfic about it or something like that, you would prolly have to change the people's characters. A straight guy doesn't just suddenly become gay because you wanna see Sano flirting with Kenshin or something creepy like that.
O-O I just disturbed myself. I'm sorry Sano!!! ;.;

Kotowari July 2nd, 2009 11:29 AM

*raises hand*
I have something more desturbing. Don't open the spoiler if you don't want your eyes to bleed. It's just text, no worries. Go to dA for real artwork. *shiver*

Spoiler:

Hiko Seijuro x Kenshin Himura


I just can't believe I wrote that. ._. It's disturbing. D: I know he raised him and all, but still. Eeew. And btw, you can find what you wrote on dA as well, Sakura.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 11:35 AM

I know. But come on! It wouldn't happen! It's not fair to Sano or Kenshin or Hiko.
Besides, wouldn't that be like... A father/son type of thing. Since he raised him.
THAT'S NOT COOL!!
;~;

Kotowari July 2nd, 2009 11:39 AM

No it's not. Deffinitally not cool. *urgh* I hate seeing my favourite characters being "abused" like that. >_> I don't see Hiko doing that anyways. XD

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 11:39 AM

I think the pairing that tops all others in terms of unfathomable wrongness has to be:
Spoiler:
Ed Elric x Al Elric from FMA, otherwise known as 'Elricest'

Kotowari July 2nd, 2009 11:43 AM

I just mentioned that pairing a few posts earlier. One can't be thinking of it in the first place. ._."
A younger brother always (certainly in stories like FMA) looks up to his older brother. Brothers have a bond that can't be broken... but please, not one of that kind. ._.u

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 11:46 AM

Especially since they're like 14 and 15 years old for God's sake. DX

Anywho, the subject needs to change. This is gettin' creepy even though I was the one who brought it up in the first place >.>;;

Kotowari July 2nd, 2009 11:48 AM

Haha. XD Yeah, we need a new topic. Let me think. What could be a topic....
I have actually no idea ._.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 11:53 AM

Ah. This was like a bishie integrity massacre... ._.
New topic... I dunno. Something not so disturbing.
Like do you like the stronger or weaker bishies? Or blond or dark hair?
Something innocent at least...

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 11:58 AM

That sounds good.

Normally I prefer dark hair (and I prefer it on IRL guys as well. Dark brown is my fave), but lately it seems most of my bishies are blonde, namely my 3 new ones, lol. Red hair is good on bishies, too.

I prefer strong ones that still have weaknesses, 'cause then I can still imagine myself helping/protecting them even though I'm a weakling XD

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 12:02 PM

LOL. My top bishies all have fairly dark hair. But there are a couple up there with blond hair. And red hair too. >,<
O.O... Strangely, I think all the guys I've ever "liked" in RL have had dark hair. But that's only 3 people. xD
I don't fall for real guys easily.
Somehow though a LOT of bishies catch my attention. T.T

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 12:08 PM

Lol, I haven't fallen in love with too many IRL people, mostly 'cause I try to avoid it since the ones I like never like me back >.>;;

But that's what bishies are for! They can't reject you and you don't have to feel guilty fantasizing about them >:3

One thing that's interesting is that I prefer IRL guys to have facial hair, but I prefer bishies not to (for the most part).

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 12:15 PM

Haha. That's sorta funny. Well actually, in real life I find facial hair cute. But most guys my age obviously don't have any. xD
And I've noticed most bishies are pretty clean-shaven anyway. >,<

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 12:22 PM

They are, aren't they. Maybe that's why?

Yeah, I guess at my age guys with facial hair are way more plentiful. It makes them look more like men and less like boys, which I guess is why I like it. I prefer stubble or little goatees or something simple over like, beards and such though.

But, this is a bishie club, so enough about IRL dudes.

How about long hair vs. short hair? I tend to prefer it long.

Kotowari July 2nd, 2009 12:31 PM

Enseid does look good with his beard. He looks more like giant teddybear. XD I love Ensei. If I'd have big brother, I want him to be like Ensei.

Koyuu <3 He's got no sense of direction. Poor boy.
Spoiler:
Kouyuu was adopted and raised by Kou Reishin and his wife. For some reason I can't remember correctly, his foster mom moved the furniture frequently, confusing the young Kouyuu tremendoesly. This ended with his sense of direction being completely destroyed. He looses his way when he needs to take 30 steps. D:

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 2:04 PM

Oh wow, my post went through. PC just like, died while I was submitting it and only just came back. At least I got to watch some Kenshin~

Haha, for some reason that beard looks so out of place to me. I guess 'cause I'm not used to it? What anime is that, anyway?

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 2:15 PM

MMMRRG. (i dunno what that was. A growl?? xD) I hate when PC just dies...
Okay. Kinarii, on the hair length thing.
I LOVE guys with longish hair. Maybe medium length, as in not SHORT but not LONG. LOL. I dunno.
But then again, they're often not as plentiful as shorter hair or bushy spikes and stuff like that. Depending on what kind of anime/manga you're partaking of (T.T?) i guess...
I don't even know. I have a lot of different types of bishies on my list, but almost anytime there's a character with like, shoulder length or a little bit shorter than that hair, I almost always love him. Just by default. >_<
I sorta just like all lengths. O_o
And Kotowari. O_O beard!! You don't see an anime guy with a beard very much. Haha. I like it. It does make him seem somewhat teddybear-ish. I_I

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 2:25 PM

Haha, yeah.

My auto-love hairstyle is the straight, shoulder-length style, like... uhh... I dunno who (but it's rather common). Red or some medium-shade color is best with it.

I'm actually not as fond of shorter spiky hair, at least if there's another character in the series with longer hair that isn't a villain.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 2:30 PM

(?un)Fortunately, I pretty much find another fave bishie (oh gosh sometimes 2) every time I read a new manga. Or watch anime. Considering I've read 120-somethin manga at this point... O_O Lotsa boys. That's why I end up liking all different types.
But in the stupid stories, I'm too disgusted and busy scoffing to notice if a guy is good looking anyway. T_T

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 2:40 PM

Yeah, I've been plowing through a whole bunch of animes I hadn't seen before to do just that - collect bishies. I need more, though. MORE! 8D

So any anime with bishies in it that I haven't seen, do recommend, by all means. Though, I will say I'm not into sci-fi or mecha anime at all. I like fantasy or adventure stuff most. I'm too old to fawn over high-schoolers, so those types are out, too.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 2:46 PM

LOL. I'm not so much into the sci-fi or mecha stuff either. T_T
Kotowari has some anime prolly that would be interesting. I find I tend to read more manga. For some reason I find it easier to find time for. *shrugs*
And it makes sense about the high school boys thing. Which basically rules out most shoujo. >_< LOL.
Hmm. If you had to guess, how many bishies would you say you think you really like?? At least at the moment I guess. >,<

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 3:10 PM

Lol, yeah, though I never was into shoujo even when I was 15. I liked DBZ and Ruroken, and that was more or less it. XD

Zombie Loan's kinda shoujo, though. Most of the characters are teens, and the art style's pretty much shoujo. I read manga, too, especially since some series (like Zombie Loan and D.Gray-man) stop the anime in the middle so if want to know the rest, manga's all there is. I sort of prefer anime, just 'cause animation's sometimes easier to follow along with what's happening than still images, at least for me.

How many bishies? Well, at the moment, since I'm watching Ruroken again, I'd say I have 3 'top' bishies. Kenshin's one, then Gourry and Bekko.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 7:12 PM

Man I love how you can narrow it down that much. >,<
It's so hard to choose. I guess Sano is my current tops.
But I can't really rank the rest... Too many. T.T

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 7:27 PM

Well, normally I go one at a time, so focusing like that is kinda natural to me, I guess. XD

Since I'm watching Ruroken a lot today, Kenshin's got the top spot at the moment. Same for the others when I'm watching/reading their respective series. That's more or less how I'm doing it right now. :3

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 7:30 PM

There's always those special bishies that stay more on the top for me. Like a few from a couple of the first manga I ever read... The timeless few. xD
And yah. Usually if you're currently reading/watching something, those bishies will be more high up cus their awesomeness is most vivid. >_< Haha.

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 7:37 PM

For me, Kenshin is one of those 'timeless' bishies, since Ruroken was my first manga as well as one of the first animes I watched.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 8:01 PM

It's the same for Train Heartnet with me. Black Cat was like, my second or third manga, and my first anime. Oh besides Pokemon.

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 8:18 PM

But of course. Pokemon was everyone's first anime~ |D

Ash was actually my first bishie, but I was like, 10 or 11, so what did I know?

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 8:22 PM

Haha. Brock for me. LOL. Ah I got some better ones nowadays though. >_<

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 8:25 PM

Me too. Yay for improved taste! :D

This totally needs to be a social group. I bet if I made one a bunch would join. Should I?

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 8:34 PM

Yah! I'd join. Social Groups are fun when people actually post in them. >,<

Amaruuk July 2nd, 2009 8:38 PM

I think it'd be best if, supposing I make it, I either keep the pairing-related talk in it's own little thread or discourage it altogether. How would that sound?

Yeah, social groups are only fun if they're active, but with them you can have lots of discussion threads rather than just one where people more or less have to pick up where the last poster left off. Bishies are a huge topic, so it'd totally help.

*hylian*sakura* July 2nd, 2009 8:48 PM

Prolly a good idea. LOL. >.<
Yah and I think there're a lotta people into bishies. So it should be good.

Kotowari July 4th, 2009 2:20 PM

Ok... Pc is back. And my post did get through? ._. Amazing. PC died the moment I posted it. Okay, well. Uhm, seems I missed quite some things.

1) Kinarii: That Anime is Saiunkoku Monogatari (Tale of Saiunkoku/Colorcloud Palace, go watch it in Japanese though), which is a Shoujo anime. There are currently 2 seasons of each 39 episodes, an I can't wait for the 3rd season. =O (I truely hope there will be one, since I love it a lot, and it's kinda of a cliffhanger... Too bad I can't read the novels... since my Japanese is as good as Nihil)
It takes place in the land of Saiunkoku (Fictional, however has lots of resemblances with medieval China), where Kou Shuurei is asked by the Grand Advisor of the Emperor to become the emperor's consort to whack some sense in that man. Of course that's only the beginning. There's much more to come. 8D And the characters are amazing. Ensei (beardman) is one of them. ^-^
He also exists beardless... XD He's great anyway.
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/2679/saiunkokumonogatari731bl4.png

Just how hard is it to find decent Saimono pictures. -sigh- I wonder how it comes that this Anime/Manga/Novelseries has such a small fanbase... despite it's awesomeness. ._.


2)About Bishie Ranking. Dark's been my number one since 2 (?) years now. Yes, two years is hightly possible. I'm sure of his possition. But those that follow him, are not quite walking in a straight line.
I have many characters I like, but most of them I start fangirling over when I get involved in their series again. Gareas when I read CFG, Rimudo when I read Fushigi Yuugi GK, Kenshin... well, Kenshin's an alltimer. XD Ichiru when I watch VK... basically like that.
You could say that Dark and Kenshin are my two permanent fav characters. =/

3)social group... I'm not that into social groups, so I wouldn't know; ._.

Amaruuk July 4th, 2009 5:23 PM

And I don't pay attention to club threads, so now we'll get everyone since we now have both. :3

That seems like an interesting series, Kotowari. I can't read Japanese at all, so no novels for me, either XD

I'm still on Kenshin at the moment, but once I'm done I'll go look for that.

I've actually, for the most part, outgrown the fangirlism that I used to have as a teen, so even my favorites fall under the 'I like them while I'm involving myself in their series' category. I just happen to be involving myself in a lot of anime lately X3

UraharaSteph July 4th, 2009 5:29 PM

I find that when you're like 13-15 you have so many Anime crushes that you can't keep up with their names! but now I'm 16 I've kind of grown out of it very slowly. I think i'm interested in real guys now haha. Although I'm still chasing Urahara Boi >___> Me and my friend were figuring out ways to find out his name~

(He's so kawaii <3)

But anyway! I think at the same time, I'm not completely grown out of the fangirlism... I just am not as crazy as I was when I was 14 to be exact. Right now I think I can't be bothered with something that doesn't exist... yet I still like new anime characters such as Xerxes Break... and yet I still have a fancy for the older anime characters like Kisuke Urahara~ And I could probably go further back to when I was a kid crushing on Bakura from Yu-Gi-Oh :P But he has too many fangirls so I don't like admitting that I'm one too xD if that made sense please tell me XD

Amaruuk July 4th, 2009 10:22 PM

Haha, yeah. I got my first boyfriend at 16 1/2, so that was more or less what calmed my raging inner fangirl. I've been single for what feels like forever now, though (which is only a year really), and bishies are about all I can turn to these days as I keep falling in love with dudes that don't like me back D:

I'm actually glad to not be the same creature I was before. I'm surprised anyone could tolerate my crazed fangirlism then. But now I'm a matured, more civilized fangirl :3

UraharaSteph July 5th, 2009 5:01 AM

Lolz~ You see I think for a big chunk of my life I was a 'Fangirl In Denial' XD So I tried to hide my monster side :P

But I've recently broken up with my boyfriend ): well he's my EX now heh. And then next guy I see that I have a crush on is a guy who looks like Urahara from Bleach -.- NOT GOOD~ But I think when you don't have a real boyfriend... fangirlism does take place :O

Kotowari July 5th, 2009 5:03 AM

Seeing as my Anime fandom actually began when I was 16,5, I kinda missed the period you mentioned earlier, UraharaSteph. My highpoint was when I was 17,5 I think. With Dark of course. x3

Amaruuk July 5th, 2009 10:34 AM

If you count the non-anime cartoon characters and live-action characters I crushed on in the years before I liked Ash, the first anime character I liked, I've been a rabid fangirl since age 5 ._.;;

But I have to say that ever since that first boyfriend, I almost have to force myself to be a fangirl, as it's no longer natural for me since being 'tainted' by having real relationships. Now bishies are more or less like aspirin for the headache that is boy-failure IRL.

*hylian*sakura* July 5th, 2009 6:48 PM

LOL. I dunno. I turn my "fangirl-ness" on and off.
I'm naturally pretty mellow so I'm not just like "OMGosh OMGosh! BISHIE!!!!" all the time.
And I had a... BLEH boyfriend, but I don't turn to anime/manga to forget guys. Though back when we broke up, if I had even known about it, I prolly would've. But I've only been into the stuff for a bit over half a year.
I'm just not interested in any guys in RL anyway. Cept maybe one... But maybe not... *epic confusion* O_o
Anyway! I guess I consider being a manga/anime/bishie fan as a simple hobby??
Not that I wanna give it up or anything. >_<

Amaruuk July 5th, 2009 7:11 PM

I don't turn to it to forget my exes. :/

I turned to it recently because I fell for someone who doesn't want me in the first place. I can't avoid falling in love, so the best I can do is try channeling it elsewhere until it (hopefully) goes away. 'Hobby' is a good way to put it. If people are frustrated with things, don't they turn to hobbies to keep their mind occupied?

*hylian*sakura* July 5th, 2009 9:51 PM

Yah, that's it. ^,^
I do all sorts of things to distract me. From lots of stuff, boredom or stress or whatever. :\ And this is definately at the top of my list. T.T It's prolly a healthy alternative to a lotta stuff.

Amaruuk July 5th, 2009 10:50 PM

I find that fangirling is a lot healthier than pining over real, tangible human beings that simply don't want you, especially if you're a big-hearted emotional type like me who loves with all her heart even when she doesn't want to.

With bishies, you know they don't actually exist, so you can imagine whatever you like and not feel guilty, plus they can't reject you. They can't love you either, but I'd rather be not loved because the guy in question is fictional and therefore can't have an opinion anyway than because I'm not what the guy wants in a woman.

Of course, there comes a point where fangirling isn't healthy, but I've long since outgrown that :3

*hylian*sakura* July 5th, 2009 11:04 PM

LOL. Yah when fangirling obstructs normal, positive behavior, it's prolly a sign to pull back. >,<

UraharaSteph July 6th, 2009 4:10 AM

Hmmm I think I've been very obsessed at one point with Kisuke Urahara. I'd get annoyed/jealous of other fangirls. That was a sign for me that there was something wrong with me. So for a while I took a break from anime and manga. In that time I got a real boyfriend xD. So basically whenever I had a "Obsession" point I take a break and find a real boyfriend. And If I can't get a real boyfriend, I think I just flirt lots XD.

Amaruuk July 6th, 2009 11:42 AM

Well, ever since my first boyfriend, I haven't had the obsession problem (at least with bishies, anyway).

You make getting boyfriends sound easy, lol. I don't even flirt. It's not my thing. Since my last breakup over a year ago, I've been happily single, but twice since then I've fallen in love with guys that don't want me, once last fall and once in January, and the latter I just can't let go of.

To be honest I'd rather not be in love at all, but love is something you can't just force away, so I'm trying to channel it towards bishies instead.


Oh, but enough of me being emo.

Watching Ruroken again, I realized there're a lot of hawt bishies in it~

Kenshin, Hiko, Aoshi (when he stopped being a jerk X3), Captain Sagara's ghost, and that friend of Sano's (Katsu, I think? He's not mentioned in the Wiki article D:) are my faves at the moment :3

*hylian*sakura* July 6th, 2009 6:09 PM

I still love Sano. >_<
But Kenshin has been growing on me too. I dunno why, but at first I just kinda ignored him. O-O
But he can't beat Sano. I like the more mouthy types. >,<

Kotowari July 7th, 2009 2:58 AM

Rurouni Kenshin bishies. <3
I like Aoshi from the moment he appeared. :3 He had something around him that made me like him. He still can't beat Kenshin and Hiko though. 8D
Picture time~


About that Boyfriend thing... I haven't had one -yet-, so I have nothing but bishies to fangirl over. |D [/sad person]

Amaruuk July 7th, 2009 9:31 AM

Yay piccies~ *w*

That reminds me. I ought to fire up the clunky old Dell that's still got my hoards of bishie-pics from the olden days on it. I call it The Museum of 5 Years ago, when Kina was a True Fangirl also she didn't have any friends

Kotowari July 7th, 2009 12:00 PM

Oh, I'd love to see some pictures. Pictures are awesome. 8D

*hylian*sakura* July 7th, 2009 12:17 PM

Ah Ruroken pics. Yay!! <3
Oh wow I started watching Fullmetal Alchemist and EEEEE. Yay. A couple bishies there. Haha. I like Ed's eyes and hair. He's just a lil short. LOL.
Anyway. Love those pics Kotowari. >,<
Especially the 2nd with Sano all... *whooshy* (>,<LOL) and with his wrist bandages in his hand. And then Kenshin's all... *grahhh* looking. Intense eyes there.

Amaruuk July 7th, 2009 12:41 PM

FMA's one of my faves~

Lol, by the time I bothered getting into it, I was already much too old to fangirl over the Elric brothers and too young to fangirl over anyone else. I like FMA more for the story and stuff than the bishies. None of them really caught my attention for being bishies X3

@Kotowari the third pic's my fave, where everyone is all 'whooshy'. Lots of smexiness up in there. Also Hiko's faaace~ |D

*hylian*sakura* July 7th, 2009 12:43 PM

I agree with the story being even better than the faces. But they're not so bad. LOL.

Amaruuk July 7th, 2009 12:48 PM

Oh, I don't think they weren't attractive. Plenty of them make good bishies, but they just didn't strike that chord with me, I suppose. Sano kind of falls under that category for me, actually.

*hylian*sakura* July 7th, 2009 12:54 PM

Haha. Well of course everyone has different opinions. >,< LOL.

Dang this thread is slow lately...

Lucy Lu July 15th, 2009 8:35 AM

Hey guys! I been kinda following my bishies. Yeah I never though that the mangaka or animation director can make them cute and hot. To me, they are a bit cuter in the manga than the anime. But sometimes I think vice versa. What do you guys think?

Amaruuk July 15th, 2009 9:14 AM

Wow yeah. This thread was starting to collect some dust. D:

Good topic, Setsuko. I think for me it depends on the series. For some, the style of the mangaka is more appealing, but for others the way the animation studio adapts the style makes the bishies more attractive. I can't really say for sure which usually appeals to me more as a rule, though.

Snivi July 15th, 2009 11:54 AM

I tend to like characters better in the manga as well.

Kotowari July 15th, 2009 1:12 PM

Oh, yey. It's alive again. 8D

Anyways, he're is my opinion, with pictures.
It really depends on the style the manga-ka is using.
Nobuhiro Watsuki (Rurouni Kenshin) has a style that uses lots of of hard shading (black) and outlining.
His Kenshin in "Hitokiri"-mode appears to me a lot scarier than the Anime version.
I think Anime Kenshin is cuter, Manga Kenshin is not really cool, not really cute (not that I don't like him), and OVA Kenshin is awesome. 83
But that's not to the point.
I find the manga characters more scary than their anime counterparts. But it usually is that way in Shounen Manga, no? And thus I think, for Shounen, that I'd prefer the Anime versions.

As for the shoujo's, I think it's vice versa. The shoujo manga-ka have a very smooth way of drawing. They can go overboard with little details (what shounen usually lack, they focus on action), Girls want something for the eye, and includes bishie eyecandy.
Usually when a shoujo manga is animated, details get lost.
As an example, I'd give you Dark Mousy (D.N. Angel). Yukiru Sugisaki's style is amazing. *_* The anime seriously lacks here and there.
To talk about Sugisaki again, her manga Candidate for Goddess is a Shounen manga as well, and I prefer the anime style. XD
*scratches back of head*
Saiunkoku Monogatari is the other way, I greately prefer the Anime style over the Manga/Novel Art style. Although you won't hear me say it's ugly, it's pretty, but the anime has something more which makes me prefer it.

Oh, I found myself a Novel scan goldmine. 8D



I can't say which one I like best. There are pictures I like, and pictures I don't like. o3o"

Snivi July 15th, 2009 10:13 PM

Do you like a few bishies or are you like me & seem to like way too many? XD

Amaruuk July 16th, 2009 8:05 AM

Back in the day, when I was a 'true' fangirl (see earlier posts), one at a time was the only way to go for me. These days I'm just grabbing a bunch of them at once, as I no longer get really attached like I used to, due to having had real relationships, and thus attachment can now only happen with real people.

Kotowari July 16th, 2009 12:21 PM

Kinarii, you coming back to the Rurouken Fanclub? D:
Kenshin's been sleeping for a while now. o3o""

Also, I've been attached to some bishies for a while now. I stick to the bishies I like, but the list keeps on growing. But there are some I really grow attached to, such as Dark, Kenshin... The ones I like the less, are on my list, but that doesn't mean I do things with them. Such as saving pictures or drawing them. I only draw fanart of the things I really like.

Amaruuk July 16th, 2009 2:36 PM

@Kotowari Well I don't have a reply to your last post, nor can I think of another topic to start. What about the other members? ;P

Lol, even when I was really into certain bishies, I rarely tried drawing them. I don't draw people well at all (especially males), and I'm afraid of not doing them justice. Every once in a blue moon I'll draw a chibi or draw them as something easier to draw, but other than that, I don't draw them much. My picture-hoarding days were over like, 4 years ago. I just still have most of them, that's all. :3

Kotowari July 16th, 2009 3:38 PM

Ah, well... then.. I'm just happy you bumped. 8D

Well, I love drawing... Not a day passes that I don't put something on paper. I love creating my own characters as well. XD I don't know if they are truely bishie, but I like some of them a lot. (can you love your own characters?)
One day, someone from my class said: "you should concentrate on Bishounen!" And I was like: "o... kay?"
It's a fact that I love drawing guys, though.... I can't draw girls that well. D:
This is one of them, Phyron... I first made it as a doodle somewhere, and now redrew it properly as I liked it very much. I like him as wel, a lot. D: (coloured with copic markers)

Amaruuk July 16th, 2009 4:19 PM

Ooh~ I like him. Long red hair FTW X3

Yeah, I'm all about making my own characters (see my theme). I've been doing so for at least 5 years now. They used to be just fan-characters (like a Saiyan and a Pikachu), but eventually I just made my own originals. I can't draw people (or things shaped similarly to people), so mostly I draw dragons and sometimes other creatures like foxes or something. If I could draw people, I imagine I'd come up with my own bishies, too XD

I can kinda draw girls, hence the old Saiyan character (who was more or less a sue XD). If I could draw man-bodies though, oowee~!

Kotowari July 17th, 2009 4:11 AM

Nihaha~ :3
Yes, long, red hair is awesome. 8D

That little dragon returns a lot in your themes/dA doesn't it?
Dragons are great tot draw. ^_^ But I just can't make them cute enough. XD Nor can I make them seem "real" enough. -sigh- I'm stuck in between. D:

Hehehe... XDDD

Amaruuk July 17th, 2009 8:38 AM

Well, she's the current OC that I represent myself with, so yeah, I draw her most. I can't make my dragons realistic, either. I have a very watered-down, minimal style. It bothers me that I can't seem to get any detail out, but at least I can draw cute things sometimes. :3

Lol, this is getting off-topic.


...BISHIES!

UraharaSteph July 17th, 2009 9:03 AM

OMG~ I haven't posted in a while... I'm such a sinner... anyway, recently I've been playing tooooooooo much SSBB (Super Smash Bros Brawl) And I have a slight obsession with Ike from Fire Emblem! HELP!

Kotowari July 17th, 2009 9:24 AM

IKE 8D
Then come over to the FE club... then we can spazz about everyone FE-related.
XD

Talking about FE bishies, I found myself another one, Stefan. 8D OMG, he's so awesome. 8D

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p156/DragoniteManCommander/Fire%20Emblem/stefan.png

UraharaSteph July 17th, 2009 9:41 AM

XD I want to watch the Fire Emblem anime! But... butttt I can't find a place to watch it T_T
Stefan is OK! actually he's gorgeous! but I got to keep to Ike! OMGosh I even drew like a Chibi Ike eating a giant COOKIE! ~^^~
LOOK AT IT!!!!!
:P

Kotowari July 17th, 2009 10:31 AM

I dropped you a comment. =D He's so eager. =)

Are you planning, or have you already did it, on playing the games that feature Ike? Such as Path or Radiance? Or Radiant Dawn.

http://www.fe-online.co.uk/gallery/albums/offical%20art/fire%20emblem%208/group2.jpg
It's not just Ike, but you might like it. XD

UraharaSteph July 17th, 2009 10:44 AM

I plan to play them :) My friend from Scotland is sending me the Wii game Radiant Dawn. And I dunno what console those games are on~ DX!
(I'm new to FE ): Well I was borrowed the game cube one but I played it so much it suddenly stopped working before I even got far on it ROFL! and I had a short game on a GBA one)

and Thanks I'll look at the comment!!! <3

Kotowari July 17th, 2009 11:04 AM

I see, well, I can help you with the FE games. I (and it's not just me) shall reply to all your questions in the FE club. I will tell you what consoles the games are on. And if you don't have those, you can always get the roms, (like me). I'm on my second play-through through FE9: Path of Radiance, Ike's game.
And I love it. o3o
And since there are lots of bishies in the game:


Actually these pictures are from Radiant Dawn. o3o But they're mostly the same as in Path of Radiance, but 3 years later. XD
I want RD so badly though. -3-

And now the cherry on the cake: TIBARN. 8D

UraharaSteph July 17th, 2009 11:21 AM

Ooooooooh I'll have to post on FE club then because I wanna know where I can get the ROMs from (Is a complete n00b I always buy my games XD! And FE is sold out EVERYWHERE over here. RD I'm getting from my mate, and I was going to buy the DS game today for £25.... but Urahara called me and I was just like :O KISUKE~~~~~)

I love Ike in SSBB


Ahhhhhhhhh But I remain loyal to Kisuke URahara And Sir Aaron! But Byakuya from Bleach is pretty awesome!


Kotowari July 17th, 2009 11:55 AM

Bakuya's kinda cute. o3o
But I won't probably watch Bleach, since it's way to long. XDD

I give you, General Ike. 8D Promoted from the Ranger Class (as he is in SSBB)

UraharaSteph July 17th, 2009 12:21 PM

SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
Can I not tempt you into Bleach with sexy guys? I'll give you pictures of Bleach guys! See if you like them ;)

Spoiler:

Kotowari July 17th, 2009 12:26 PM

Glasses guy and Bakuya are cute. o3o
Renji looks cool... and Ichigo... well his hair is wierd....
It's wierd how much of their names I know... Since I don't even watched/read Bleach. XD

UraharaSteph July 17th, 2009 12:42 PM

XD! Well thats liek me with a few anime! But I'm not surprised you know their names XD even I knew there names before I started watching it... and then I was like
OMG! WHOS THE SEXY BLONDE IN A HAT?!
And it was Kisuke Urahara <3

UraharaSteph July 18th, 2009 7:08 AM

(AH! Bugger I didn't mean to double post ¬_¬ Thought it'd merge into one)


OMG! Something Terrible happened! Kent came into my life!!!!! XD
Kent from Fire Emblem.

Kotowari July 18th, 2009 3:37 PM

Wahaha. XD Kent is awesome. o3o
Were it not that Sain usually has the better stats when I have to decide which which Chevalier I have to take. So, I usually end up using Sain, and not Kent. Although, in my last play-through (before I started a new file, I blame it on ^), I started using Kent again later in the game. :3 Chevaliers are awesome units. 8D But... when it comes down to horse-riding people, Nomads beat them any day. o3o Rath, you rule your class.... even if your daughter and fellow tribesman can't really keep up with you (at the moment).



People on horses, wyverns and pegasi ftw~ :3

UraharaSteph July 19th, 2009 1:27 PM

Ah well... I move on quick and in the world of Fire Emblem I have strangely enough felt Erk to be awesome. (There aren't good enough pictures of him XD so I can't post them). I'm not even sure why I find him good looking.... I think it may be because he's just someone I use like LOTS in the game.

Kotowari July 29th, 2009 2:58 PM

Erk owns the game. 8D If it weren't for Pent or Soren, Erk would be the world's most beloved Mage or Sage.

Also, I have finished two other Anime, Sengoku Basara and Seirei no Moribito (Guardian of the Sacred Spirit).
Seirei no Moribito's drawing style isn't fit for bishie material, in the true sense of the word. No flowy hair or dazzling looks, no Seiribito has a strong story and an even stronger cast. Strong OST and Strong drawing style. Deffinitally word checking out. ^_^ Tanda is cute, but no bishie. XD

The other one, Sengoku Basara, is an anime that can compare to "The Law of Ueki" in sense of pure crack level, but it's much more serious (but still includes the crack).
I found myself liking two characters, one more than the other, Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune.
They both are awesome, Yukimura because he's cute, and nice, and huggable... XD
Date because he's cool... (He's even got a pimped horse for god's sake (nehe, god's sake (as in the rice-wine)).....) And his constant blabbering in gibberish Engrish makes him funny. XD
He can be serious though. o3o The One-Eyed Dragon of the North and the Young Red Tiger of Kai are awesome. I can't wait for the second season. ^_^
The Right-Eye of the Dragon, Date's right hand man, is great as well. =O I am ashamed having to say I forgot his name though. It's Kuro-something. =B



Date = Blue, Sanada= Red. :3


Also, it never occured to me that Sanada Yukimura looked a LOT like Sanosuke Sagara from Rurouni Kenshin.
But when I saw this fanart:
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w194/AkiraWaShikiNoUke/Sengoku%20Basara/sengokubasara-yukimuraB.jpg
I had to think of this:



Also, I've started Kuroshitsuji (on Raiyna's recommendation) -or whatever you write it like) and Hanasakeru Seishounen (on Angela's recomendation)

Snivi August 1st, 2009 4:45 AM

Thats a really nice fan art.

Kotowari August 6th, 2009 2:37 AM

I thought so as well. ^_^

And, by the way, thanks for telling me about Hanasakeru Seishounen.. I like it very much. =D I just watched episode 8 today... It was hilarious. XD I already have my favourites, and I hope they'll answer to my wishes. -shot'd-
Li Ren is cute... o3o In a cool way. Rumati is cute, in a cute way. Eugene Yuuji, not my type. XD

Snivi August 20th, 2009 4:02 PM

This club seems to be a bit dead.

What animes have you guys been watching - that have hot guys?

Lucy Lu August 20th, 2009 7:06 PM

Well right now I am watching some Bleach and Naruto...maybe. Well not really..lol. But I found some guys that are pretty cute. Ichigo, Renji, Naruto, Sasuke, and Rock Lee. *sigh* I need to go back watching some anime. Oh...nice pictures everyone. ^^

Kotowari August 22nd, 2009 3:34 AM

Anime that I have been watching... that have bishies in them?
1) Hanasakeru Seishounen 8D
LI-REN, you are awesome. Rumati, you're cute. x)

2) Kuroshitsuji
Sebbastian, you are... intriguing... Greill, you're hilarious.

3)Saiunkoku Monogatari again
Everyone, you are awesome

Picture time~


UraharaSteph August 28th, 2009 2:01 PM

Sebastian from Kuorshitsuji is an absolute WIN!~ Ah and what have I been watching? Haruhi Suzumiya actually haha!. Let's find some pictures of Kyon and Itsuki Koizumi.

*hylian*sakura* August 28th, 2009 4:00 PM

Whoa I've been gone so long. Well it seems this thread is still less than lively. But whatevs. LOL.
Ummm. Anime I'm watching right now... Death Note and Full Metal Alchemist. >,<
Particularly, there aren't a huge excess of bishies in either of those. But I've always liked L. More for his cute quirks than anything. And Yagami Light is cute before he's crazy. Even when I read the manga, those were prolly the only 2 guys I ever saw that seemed cool.
Oh and in Full Metal Alchemist! Roy Mustand and Edward Elric are epicly awesome.
But those are all pretty obvious ones...
I've been catching a ton of new manga and manwha bishies lately though!! ^.^ Happy-ness. I prolly read manga more than watch anime.

UraharaSteph August 31st, 2009 1:41 PM

Ah!!! *hylian*sakura* how can you not find the idiotic Matsuda from Death Note cute?! He's adorable!... um in his own little way.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd250/007_Bondgirl/Death%20Note/Matsuda1.png

*hylian*sakura* August 31st, 2009 1:47 PM

Oh my gosh!!!! I didn't even think of Matsuda! He is so cute. And naive. He's the only one who completely trusts Light. And his stupidity brings a lotta laughs. >,< I love that pic btw.

UraharaSteph August 31st, 2009 1:54 PM

Me too! :3 It's wear he becomes a man!!!!

Ah but yes he is really stupidly naive. But that's what makes him epic.
