I really liked Samurai Champloo... To blend such modern day culture with the Edo period was fantastic and great to watch. Afro Samurai seems more dark than Samurai Champloo was (as it was hilarious as well). Right now, I still like Samurai Champloo better than Afro Samurai, but Afro Samurai's animation and fighting scenes are very well done. Maybe when all the episodes are shown, I'll be able to say which one I prefer.

How often do you buy anime?
I don't really buy anime. I download them... Don't have to pay anything! XD But fake dvds of anime I do buy now and then. Either its because I am unable to download the anime or because I am too LAZY to download it (also because it is cheap!) :]
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
I have been anticipating this game ever since it was announced. BUT I do not own a copy. Because there were no Wiis left on sale in Australia, I didn't buy the game. Plus, I couldn't find the game for Gamecube. TT___TT
Judging from reviews and gameplay segments, this game looks fantastic. I don't know if it's as great as Ocarina of Time was, but I still have very high hopes for the game... whenever I am able to play it. I'm really disappointed I can't play TP right now... Probably in a couple of months (when Wii isn't all sold out everywhere).
Languages !
I would like to learn Japanese. It looks like a great language to speak and write. Maybe also be fluent in French. ^^
Is anime that much better than manga?
I like manga more than anime. But I prefer reading manga in book form, rather than viewing pages on the computer (as it hurts my eyes and takes longer to read). XD
Buying manga
It depends how much money I have. If I have enough to buy 5 volumes, I would usually buy only 2. But I read in the book store as well... I tear the plastic cover and read them. HEHE. If I'm broke, I would read them at the book store or just download them online. But they are overpriced where I used to live, that's why I don't buy heaps.
What was the first anime you ever watched?
Mine was probably Sailor Moon. =/
How do you feel about the reinvention of the samurai genre
Yes, they have been different (Samurai Champloo, Afro Samurai), but I think that the originality of the anime is what people are interested in. I don't think people are bored of watching "traditional" samurai anime, but I think these new anime just something new and original. Some people are interested in more moderny anime.
Take Samurai Champloo for example. These "modern" samurai anime usually contain elements of modern-day (hip hop) culture into the music and themes. For me, it's enjoyable to see something so culturally contrasted blend seamlessly (and very, very humorously) with the Edo Period.
Shoujo-ai/Shonen-ai?
I don't mind watching shoujo-ai/shounen-ai themed anime. As for yuri/yaoi (what's the difference, really? - I reckon it's more extreme stuff...) I don't mind either. To be honest, I do watch some yaoi anime.
[MP3s] Amuro Namie - Paradise Train (Groovy Mix) + Rurutia songs
Namie Amuro - Paradise Train (groovy mix) @ SendSpace
I have uploaded the song onto SendSpace. Hopefully, you'll be able to download the song from the link. If not, just post here again, and I'll reupload it elsewhere.
Here are also the RURUTIA songs (all uploaded onto SendSpace). ^_^
Utada
I have all her albums (and songs). I especially like her MTV Unplugged performance. That was really good. As well as her music, I like her personality. It's so fun (TETRIS!! =P).
Trance
I like listening to trance music. Electronic music is hawt all together (including techno, etc). Thanks for all the websites that everybody has posted. ^^ Finally, more sources of trance. :]
Any Love Hina fan's out there?
Oh yesshhhh. I love Love Hina too! <33
One of my favourite manga. But I've never seen the anime... I just can't be bothered ><" But I may watch it sometime soon... Because I also want to watch the OVAs.
Naru is my favourite manga/anime female character. XD She's smart, pretty and hot tempered. Haha that's what I like about her.
New anime 2007
I heard Code Geass is good. Some of my friends are watching it, and they enjoy it heaps. I'll give that anime a try as well.
How do you prefer to watch anime?
Definately subbed with Japanese dubs. I prefer the Japanese dubs in most anime. There are only few dubs that I like... most of them sound so dull with no emotion. Another reason why I prefer the subbed versions is because of the way names are pronounced in English dubs. They sound horrible (most of them, anyway). :<
What if you're gf/bf ask you to stop watching anime or manga?
I wouldn't stop watching/reading. I'd rather be with someone who supports my interests, not someone who doesn't.
Korean Music
I listen to some Korean music. My favourites include Se7en (<33333333), DBSK, Eddie and Shinhwa. I dislike BoA... She annoys me.
[MP3] Ayaka Hirahara - Reset
Ayaka Hirahara - Reset (Okami ED)
I hope this is right. :]
First love-utada hikaru
I love the song. It is one of my most played songs on my iPod. I actually learnt the lyrics to this song (Japanese version), even though I don't know how to speak the language. hehehe.
The album is also great. Hikki-chan ftw!!
Do your parents read manga?
Nope, my parents don't read. My mum thinks it's a waste of money when I buy volumes... which I guess is reasonable, due to the overprice of them over here. D:
How does your friends feel about mangas?
Only a few of my friends enjoy reading manga. I've introduced some people to it, but most of my friends don't read manga (or watch anime). But I guess they accept the fact that I read manga. =P
New anime 2007
There's a 5 episode anime called Afro Samurai that is new this year. Only the first episode has been released.
Although there are only 5 episodes, the animation so far is fantastic, as well as the fighting. Another plus is that Samuel L. Jackson is doing the voice acting (all the other voice acting is also great).
In addition, I'm also looking forward to more Death Note episodes. Hmm... I don't know much upcoming anime for 2007. Thanks for all the names, everybody. :]

Anything spicy - I'll eat it. Even if its burning my mouth to the point that my ears are hot, I keep on eating. Mainly because chili has a thing which is like nicotine... so addictive. :]
I grew up eating spicy food. Could eat them from wen I was really young.
Give me a raw chili, and I'll eat it. keke.
