  1. I cry so much during Conan. I think I just cry easily >>;.

    The latest case I cried in would be a certain Kappa case:

    Where the inn owner was holding his child's drowned body ;_;

    That part was sad, too. Though it is very sad, but... because I have a cold heart, I didn't cry. But it did touch my heart and I- I- 0eeeff42.gif.

    As for the episode that made me cry... the last episode that made me cry would be The Scenario of the Steaming Locked Room episode (598). The part where Haibara put red pepper in Conan's underwear th_015_orz-v2.gif...


  2. Chigatta yo, Kaoko-chan, the next lesson will be 'NU' th_092_.gif

    Gah, my mistake ali_115.gif.. sorry ali_021.gif!

    oh, for "ne", you should use Nenene Sumiregawa, from Read or Die TV.... there's this great scene in episode 1 where the paper sisters are meeting her at the airport, and they have a sign, and she walks up to them and says "my name is Nenene, that says 'nununu' "... and Michelle says "Nenene... nununu... ah, la la!" They screwed it up in the English dub by having Michelle say "nanana" u_u

    Lol! That would be awesome! It would be really perfect for lesson 'ne'. I guess I should watch that... ummm.. Die TV? Before I can come up with a story. Thanks for the awesome suggestion, Southpaw!

    Nenenenenene...

    Waaa! I'm late! (again)

    May i join the class?

    Welcome, Koukou ali_072.gif! And of course you can! Anyone can! It's never too late ;-)

    May I join, Kaoko?d16c4689.gif I promise I will be a good student and study hard! th_096_K.gif

    Alicetamaaa~~~~!!! Welcome! Welcome to our Japanese Classroom!

    Of course, anyone can join~ You may ask anything regarding Japanese language here, as well as to follow our lessons... we are currently doing the Hiragana characters ali_116a.gif. So if you are still new in learning Japanese, and not yet familiar with the system, I highly recommend you to begin with learning the characters. You know, right? In Japanese, there're 3 main writing system... Hiragana, Katakana, and finally, Kanji (the hardest of them all).

    Check out the first page for more details. And you'll see that our lessons are indeed really interesting and fun!

    I'm only the... uhm... more like a senpai ali_032.gif (most members here calls me 'sensei' though ali_027.gif). Our teacher is Kenny ali_106.gif. But he is currently busy, so I am the one's who's currently taking over the control ali_031.gif.


  3. Thanks for your answer Kaoko.

    Well it depends on the point of view. I don't think it so saddening... I'm still happy to read DC for what it is. And appreciate it like that. I still believe in it a little. I mean, my favourite coupling reunited. But I won't have bad surprise if that doesn't happen. And it's the same about the plot with the MIB. Do you understand?

    Of course. I did all these stuff and analysis for myself and my website. Nothing official but I tried to do it with some references.

    I am glad you think of it that way ^_^;.

    Ummm... what's MIB by the way? :o

    My article is in french: http://naniwa.e-monsite.com/rubrique,les-couples-fandom-japonais,755658.html

    As I said in this article, there is no official survey about "the most favorite couple in DC" in Japan. So, I did 2 differents analysis of the japanese fandom.

    The first part is about the doujinshi production. I visited 6 different shops in Osaka and explained what a DC doujinshis' departement looks like. To explain it quickly, you can have one hundred or more BL doujinshis in a shop for only 8 or 10 doujinshis of BoysxGirl couplings. They mostly are about ShinxRan and I merely saw some CoxAi doujinshis.

    The second part is about the number of internet websites made by fans.

    I don't have time to translate it but I think you can understand the result of the tables (second analysis).

    I visited 4 Web search engine about DC and I compared the number of websites in each search engine. Of course, I separated the websites by couplings. The result is very interesting and not so different from the first analysis result.

    Well, I hope you understood it. Tell me if there is something you don't understand.

    And that's all for today because I'm really tired tonight. See you!

    Sorry for the late reply, Kazu! I thought I would reply after I'd finish reading the article (I hadn't the chance to read it just awhile ago)...

    Boy, it was really INTERESTING! The site was so neat and in order... even... I mean it was really organized ^_^;.

    I enjoyed reading the analysis. It was really cool~ <3

    In the net, I only see little of doujinshi. Do they really sell it in... stores in Japan? I mean... do they allow it?

    And I suggest you should also put up Shiho x Hakuba in your site, Kazu... that would be really awesome :lol:!

    PS. I love your site. I would check into it more now! Thanks a lot by the way!

    And see you around soon!


  4. DCTP released the english version of this file very quickly :lol:, and can I just mention that Sonoko was absolutely awesome in this :mrgreen:

    I was surprised myself. It was really quick!

    Yeah, they did. I already made a wiki page for that unknown guy. Here it is, for those interested in it. Here you go! Any of you who want to help and pitch in can. I thought he might be a very important character in the future, so I decided to get the page started. As more info piles in, I'll update it.

    Wow, I checked it and it's awesome!

    How creepy. I'm the first to vote on this poll, as on your DCTP topic for this. O.o

    Anyways, on DCTP I voted 'just a new chara' I voted 6 options for this:

    Just a new character

    Shinichi's new rival (for love <3)

    Haibara's hubby (just in case she and Conan don't end up together. ^^)

    Akai's little bro

    And two others.

    Akai's little bro makes the most sense for me. Why, you ask? My thesis:

    - they both have the same thingy with the eyes

    -He's coming back to search for his brother, knowing that Akai is still alive, and for revenge

    -He knows Conan's name. Now, I know that it seems highly unlikely, but what if- just what if- Akai told him about Conan during the investigation?

    Yeah.. not many points, but you get the picture. (Hopefully)154218d4.gif

    I just made the poll not long before you voted th_102_.gif.

    I just read the file, and I can't suspect anyone other than that lady. So I voted for her...

    As for who might the Jeet Kune Do character is... I chose the same options that Alicetama chose 154218d4.gif.

    And your theory is cool, partner! I sorta agree with you ali_005.gif ~ <3


  5. looks cool, thanks

    You are welcome :-)!

    Is it bad that as soon as I saw this character I immediately thought that it was someone else in disguise? Anyway, I don't think it'll be any of the the ones in the spoiler box 'cause...

    as far as I know Yukiko and Kaitou Kid don't know any martial arts. Vermouth is possible (not sure 'bout her to be honest) but she looks like she's in her twenties so it'd be hard to disguise as a male teenager like the new character seems to be. 'Course I could be totally wrong 'bout that. I also totally doubt it's Bourbon, for one thing we already have the suspects for that and also because I don't think a teenager would be able to build up that kind of reputation in the BO (and anyway, why would they want him to get close to Ran, I thought that Kogoro was no longer suspicious after the thing with Hidemi and the bug) :mrgreen:

    So I suppose it's possible it is in fact a brand new character who happens to be interested in Conan. Well, as long as the plot around him isn't too close to what happened with Eisuke I suppose it could be okay. I'm interested in what 'kind' of rival he'll be though... :mrgreen:

    Oh, and here's a link to the chinese file if anyone's interested:

    http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=1019607500

    That's really interesting. I also thought that he was someone in disguise at first... Satou is the first person that came to my mind. Umm... judging from the title, he may be Ran's rival in Karate, or Conan's rival in deduction (I will put my money on the latter).

    Anyway, I will be waiting for the English release.

    Thank you for the link by the way ^_^;!


  6. LOL 071.gif!

    Anyway, the only thing I don't like in this opening is... they didn't future most of the characters. Only Ran, Conan, Shinichi, and Kaito who were ever shown (if my memory is correct). As for the dancing, I think the more I see of it the more crazy I go over it (because of the super awesomeness). I don't know but, I think the dancing is really, really cute and cool th_095_.gif074.gif.


  7. I appreciate the collection! I will find homes for them when I am not being drowned by wicked deadlines.

    You are welcome, Chekhov! If you need any pictures or photos for the wiki, feel free to ask me! I will do my best to get the best pics and shots.

    Oh, and I will try to get more of Vermouth and Vermouth related photos. ;-)


  8. I am going on with Sandii, Crawler, and Maurice for this. I do not think it's necessary to delete ones account because they didn't log in for a long time. Not most life is easy as it it maybe looks. And it's inappropriate to call them 'useless' just because they don't join conversations and things and such. They have things more important... Maybe they prefer just to lurk rather than joining in conversations (like most people). Doing so (deleting accounts), makes DCW more unwelcome. If I were to be a lurker and read this... I will be offended.

    I know some quite people that they had joined long time ago and just has been active recently.

  9. Ni-Yaa...にゃあ! !(This is nothingsillyp1.gif)

    Oke03.gif..i know what it is about...

    『に』is used when talking the time,right...Kaoko-tantei-san??

    Yeah, it can be used as particle in sentences, indicating particle for indirect objects; to, particle for location; in, particle for direction; toward, particle indicating a passive agent; by, particle indicating purpose/intent; for; to, etc 044.gif.

    I think the next lesson will be the 『NO』greedy.gif

    Desho,Kaoko-Tantei san??

    Chigau wa yo JFBQ00230070730A.gif, the next lesson will be 'NE' 023.gif. 'NO' is after it 023.gif.

    Tnaa-chaaaaaan~~~kiddy.gif!!


  10. They're all good. The last two (kidnapping Conan and getting threatened by Conan) would be great for the timeline.

    I had uploaded more of Vermouth's pictures and some others that may be related. I hope you don't mind but... I stuffed them all and put them in a gallery box I created in your user page (so it would be easy for you to locate them) under the title of 'Vermouth's Pictures' ^_^ .

    Speaking of pictures...

    This is just something that has been bothering be for a while. I noticed that a lot of the characters have older pictures. Gosho Aoyama has a new style now, so I was thinking maybe we could update the pictures for the characters. Not just the main pictures, but the small pictures that appear on the Character page as well. This was just a thought, I was planning on updating a few pictures myself. But I need some help, so if anyone else wants to update the pictures, be my guest!

    That's exactly what I have in mind, too. That's why whenever I find new style versions of characters' photos I replace them with the old styles (I had replaced Jodie's, Vermouth's, Gin's, etc.). I am able to take some snapshots from new episodes I have in the computer I am using now. You can list all the characters with the old styles design (create a new thread for it) <3 and I will see what I can do to help ;-)

    orz.jpg

    I don't mind either way, Kirite. Just repost all of your drawings <3! I understand that you are busy and that you don't have time for drawing at the moment, so I'll wait patiently th_098_.gif <3 But next time, you should probably create a manga th_099_.gif <3

    *Stalks watches Kirite in dA*

    See you around in dA~ <3


  12. pronunciation assistance again:

    the "i" in "nick" is a soft i... as there isn't really a soft "i" in Japanese, I think you mean something more along the lines of a hard "e", like "neat"

    also, it's less than optimal to make an example of the word "ninja", since most English speakers probably also pronounce it with a soft "i"

    Owww, thanks!I was confused for what I should put... so I just put anything random that came to my mind. Thanks again for your assistance ^_^;! I edited it and put the word you suggested.

    can i join?

    when you start the class?

    Of course you can! Anyone who is determined in studying Japanese are welcome ^_^;;.

    The class is always open, members may ask questions, participate in Japanese conversations, etc. And there'd always have lessons that pops up once in awhile. We are currently learning Hiragana... you may want to start from the first lesson -> http://japanese-ken.blogspot.com/2011/01/hiragana-lesson-1_02.html


  13. Sorry, but there's no witty story this time~ <3

    ______________

    YO-ON

    As you may still remember from 3 previous lessons (Hiragana: Lesson 7, lesson 12, and lesson 17), In the Japanese language there are also contracted words called 拗音 (yo-on). They are made up of two letters written together. A hiragana ending with ‘i’ such as ki (き), shi (し), etc... followed by a small ya (ゃ), yu (ゅ) or yo (ょ).

    The yoon’s for 'ni' are:

    1. にゃ/nya Ex. にゃあ (nyaa -> cat mewing)
    2. にゅ/nyu Ex. 牛乳/ぎゅうにゅう (gyuunyuu -> milk)
    3. にょ/nyo Ex. 女官/にょかん (nyokan -> court lady)

    Task: You shall write 'に' 50 - 100 times in your textbook. Don’t just write with your head blank, memorize the shape, the stroke order, the sound, the pronunciation (echo the sound of the character each time you write it down), etc.

    And after you finish with that, write 'な' and 'に' one after another, repetitively (な, に, な, に, な, に, etc.) 50 times (100 if you have time).

    Facts of today~

    NINJA!

    Ninja were people provided with special techniques in the art of war, and flourished in the Sengoku era (1467-1568). They are also known as shadow warriors. The Ninja were very spiritual people, and their beliefs became an essential part of Ninjutsu (the art of stealth).

    Ninja could sneak into enemy territories and spy on the enemy's war tactics. They sometimes assassinated enemy leaders. Some of the Ninja techniques are walking on and submerging into water, scaling walls, walking without sound and disappearing suddenly without any trace.

  14. That's an interesting point of view, Kazu. But at the same time I think it's saddening... Let me reply in order.

    When I read the manga I'm thinking of the point of view of the character and it seems that Heiji is in love with Kazuha. I wrote a big reflexion about this point on my web site.

    I will be checking this in your site after I finish with this ^_^;;

    But I'm fan for 10 years. And I don't think about DC only from the point of view of a fan. I also have acquaintances who are working in animation studio in France and in Japan or who are comics drawers, and I know the world of mangaka and the world of the animation studio is not so fantastic as people (especially manga fans) imagine it.

    Wow, that's pretty cool (to have a member that's connected to our Gosho :D). But I don't really imagine it fantastic... I have read quite a lot about it in many websites. :-|

    I translated in french some interview of Gosho's working life (one part is in the Conan Drill) and I realized how hard is his job.

    Wow, so did you translate those officially or... for your website? I guess it is really hard... but...

    I also know Gosho doesn't decide everything by himself. The DC publisher decide a lot of points in DC universe. Did you know for example that Heiji's appearance in volume 10 was not the original idea of Gosho? He originaly planed to draw the first appearance of Haibara. The publisher decided that he should create a new character (a friend rival) in this volume and Heiji was created.

    Well, it's true what you just said, and I've heard of most mangaka having some general plots, or some of the main characters... <- is not the mangaka' original idea. Mostly from the editors and the publishers. For instance the series Naruto. If I recall correctly, Sasuke Uchiha... he has become one of the main character as well as one of mos popular characters in the series.

    I got this from Naruto Wiki:

    sasuke%2Buchiha-orochimaru%2B4.png

    When developing the original Naruto manga, Masashi Kishimoto (the mangaka) had not initially intended to create Sasuke. After speaking with his editor about the future of the series, he was advised to create a rival character for the series' protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, which resulted in Sasuke's creation.

    See? Even though he wasn't exactly the original idea of the author, he became one of the main thing in the Naruto plot.

    So knowing all this informations, my point of view is a bit different from an usual fan. That doesn't mean I'm true or something. But just I don't think about DC in the same way as you may do it.

    Well, I would rather not give it much thought about it and I will just continue enjoy watching/reading.

    So now that's true, I'm thinking about the Boys Love point of view. I'm sure the publisher doesn't plan to make it official or something but they consider the popularity of the BL for the readers. And they give them some fan service scenes. Doing that, the fans who love canons are happy because BL or CoxAi or what you want will never be official, and the fans of non-canon are happy because there are still fan service scenes for all of them.

    Hee~~ You sure know a lot, Kazu. That's very interesting.

    I'm pretty sure the only reason Gosho accepted to draw Kid in DC was for the fan service (and because the editor asked for it). Kid doesn't have any other role than the rival and without girlfriend (in DC), he is the perfect candidate to be the BL lovers of Shinichi. In Japan, in the FANS WORLD (that's not true for normal readers) the most popular couple is ShinichixKaito. ShinxRan is the third couple, just next to HeijixShinichi. (I made an analysis in my website. I don't think you need to speak french to understand the graphics results. If you are interested, you can ask me)

    Wow, really? I am really interested in learning this facts... so mind you telling me?

    Sorry, this answer is a bit off topic. But that explains why I consider the interest of the publisher when I think about the possibility of the developpement of the main plot or the romance plot.

    It's OK, I got to know so many exciting and interesting new facts. But I am pretty sure Kazuha and Heiji will be reunited. Although that they don't receive that much time in the series... I doubt that Gosho, the editor, or the publisher will toss them in the end just like that -_-.
