Ciao! ^^

Hello! ^^
I'm Shainareth and I'm Italian. I like manga and anime, and my favorite series are Mai-HiME, One Piece, Saint Seiya, xxxHolic, Bleach and so on.
Recently I watched Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny and now I'm in love with those anime and especially with Athrun and Cagalli! ♥
I'd like to make friends with many AsuCaga fans like me, so I hope to enjoy in this forum.
Please to meet you and thanks to Aya-san for the message she sent me yesterday. ^^

P.S. Sorry for my mistakes, but I'm not very good in English.

Hiya Shainareth. Great to see your first post here on the board ! ^^

Heheheh, I see you're a victim too of my somewhat unluckily chosen nickname. My nickname logically indeed makes you think I'm female, but I'm 100% male (I hope that's not a disappointment for you, hahahah XD). No worries, a lot of our other members thought I was female too when they had just joined, so you're far from the only one.
Actually, I based my nick on Aya, the redhead from Weiss Kreuz, but euhm yeah, that wasn't the best choice after all. ^-^'

Ah, you're from la bella Italia. I've been there once (sadly only once so far), and I love the country ! And as a huge Eurobeat and Italo Disco fan, it's logic too that Italy has a little special place in my heart. ^^

Cool, another Saint Seiya fan !!! Who's your favourite Saint(s) ? Mine are Saga and Kanon. Oh and be sure to check out the pics of my Myth Cloth collection. They're in the Chat Lounge, in the topic 'Show off your anime collection'.

I have absolutely no, but really NO doubt that you'll make a lot of friends here. Actually, we're like one big family, and it's great you're gonna be part of it from now on.
The forum's activity is currently on a bit of a low level, since we're all pretty busy at the moment. But hey, maybe now with you on board, life might return a bit. And I promise I'll be more active again myself as from this summer, cause then I should be having more spare time again. So yeah, don't worry if there's not all that much response at the moment. ^^

No thanx. ^^ I'm more than glad you enjoyed my message. A warm welcome is one of the most important things when you're new to a forum, and I'm happy to see I was able to give you one.
I'd say, when you have a spare moment, take your time to read the rules at ease and discover the place a bit. If you have questions, remember you can always pm me. And as for the rest I'd say, have lots of Asucaga fun here !!!


PS: Nah, there's nothing wrong with your English. We all make mistakes, and doing so is nothing to worry about here. This is a carefree site, so no comments on how good or bad somebody's English is (unlike on other forums)

Oh, my God! I'm really sorry for misunderstanding your nick! Please, excuse me!
(Well, now you know that I'm very airhead. XP)

I love Italy, but... well, I'd like to change too many things (especially in politics). I really love the Italian history, art, landscapes and... food. XD
Really, I'm very gluttonous. Maybe it isn't a good thing.

My favorite Saints? I like Shaina (read my nick), Marin, Aioria, Milo and Kanon. Oh, and I hate Saori. XD I haven't gashpon or action figures about this anime, but I like to see them when I go to the manga conventions in my country.

Aya-san, you said me "No thanx", but you're so kind that it's impossible, for me, don't say "Thank you again for your warm welcome". You're make me happy with your words. ^_^

Well, I already read rules, so as soon as possible I'll read topics and reply too. And, if you want, I'd like to post some beatiful pictures (scans or/and fanart). ^^

Welcome, Shainareth!
Don't worry, I bet Aya's been getting the gender misconception a lot! Hahaa. It really is such a feminine name. XD

And well, the forum has indeed been pretty lifeless in a long while. But with a new addition to the family, I'm sure we'll be up and lively again soon!
Oh, I'd love to see what fanarts you've got.

tanth's right, that misunderstanding's absolutely no problem at all. In fact, it gives me a good laugh each time, seeing how dumb I've been picking that name for my nick If only back then I had already come up with my OC Kuro, I would've picked that name instead (or one of my other OCs' names).

Yea, I understand. There's so much things I'd love to see changed here in Belgium as well. Just like you, the politics for one, cause right now, the Belgian political landscape is one big wreck. But also the general position of anime and manga here should drastically change. Us manga fans are still looked at as some sort of freaks here, manga is still so unpopular, and no matter how hard I try, I simply can't convince my superiors at work to give our company cartoon man a slightly more modern manga look. *deep sigh*

Ah yes, the Italian food, I love it ! I'm a very big pasta lover. Whenever there's something with pasta on the menu, I'm as happy as can be. Of course, the Italian kitchen is more than pasta only, but like I said, I really enjoy your way of cooking.

Ah, how dumb of me. Yeah, looking at your nickname I should've known that. Cool, you're a Kanon fan too. And yeah, I like Milo as well. After all, he's kick-ass, and he's the Scorpio Saint, and I'm a Scorpio myself, so ...
Well I have 9 Myth Cloths (so far that is ): Saga, Kanon, Milo, Ikki, Io, Sorrento, Poseidon (Deluxe version), Eaque, and Thanatos. Next on my wishlist are Camus Hades version, Hypnos and Saga Hades version.

Ah, well I'm glad my words made you happy. That makes me happy too *hugs*

Perfecto ! Can't wait to read more posts from you. Oh and yes, of course you can post those pictures you mentioned. With all pleasure ! ^^

hello Shainareth ^^

Sorry for the delay, I'm very busy with my exams! >_<
Thank you very much for your welcome. ^^

@tanth - I found some blog with beautiful fanart, so I'll post them with the link where I found them. ^^

@Aya - Pasta! I like it too! But one of my favourite food is the pizza! *_*
About the Cloths, I found a Shaina's one at a manga convention in Naples, in April, but it's very ugly! O_O I found Saori too, but I hate her, so I didn't buy her figures. I'd like to buy a Milo or Ioria's one...

Ah, best of luck with your exams !!! ^^

Well, I like them both, but I still prefer pasta. Most pizza over here doesn't come close to the quality and great taste of authentic Italian pizza. Pasta usually does, and I enjoy making pasta dishes myself every now and then.
Heheheh, well you indeed shouldn't buy something that looks ugly, or one that you hate The Milo MC is good, but not the best of all those I have. Saga and Io are really cool looking ones !

Thanks a lot, Aya-san. ^^

Do you read Saint Seiya - Episode G and/or The lost canvas? I start to read the first one, but... I don't like it so much...

o__O!! Omigosh... This is site is still active... I thought it's already inactive anymore.... *sigh* Hahahahahaa... gomen *bows*

Nywayz... Welcome and I'm baaack hahahaha..

Ahah! XD Thanks Toumarie and don't worry: we already met in another AsuCaga forum. ^^

I read The Lost Canvas, yes. It's a very good manga, and the graphics are great. I can't wait for the release of the anime series based on it ! ^^
I tried out some volumes of Episode G in the shop I buy most of my manga, and I'm also not really fond of it. The graphic style is a big turn off for me, and I find the panels too dark and cluttered, which makes it harder to follow the plot and action.
But I recommend The Lost Canvas !

Thank you. I'll read the scans of The Lost Canvas, then. ^^
