I don't understand how people miss deadlines. If I say I want to join a roleplay I make a character before I do anything else. That way I not only reserve a spot but I don't make other people wait. But then again that's just me.
Also, adding my own anime obsession to the list. I was at an anime convention a week ago and I was dressed up from a series called Hetalia, so I'm kind of high on it right now. Its a fantastic, goofy little thing that's surprisingly educational. Its about the countries personified as people and you actually learn world history from it. It helped me pass a world history test in school.
I'll also give some love to two lesser known series that are absolutely amazing. Casshern Sins, which is depressing and beautiful a the same time. And Phantom: Requiem For The Phantom. The ending kind of sucks to that one, but the rest of the series is really good. And it only sucks because its left to the watchers interpretation. Which I believe should never be done in an anime. Or anything for that matter.
