la vanille 1 Report post Posted July 12, 2009 Hi, Julia! I'm Kat, and I just wanted to welcome you here. Just curious--did you start reading the manga before watching the anime? Cause you're pretty far off with the manga chapters. XD I watched the anime before reading the manga, you see, so after a few tankoubons, I stopped reading the manga but am catching up with it. Anyways, see you around! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DetectiveConanfan 4 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 Hi! yeah... i read the manga ALOT more than i watch the anime, but once i'm done with the manga i'll spend my time watching the anime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

la vanille 1 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 You're so young! O.O I'm only turning 20 in a few months yet I suddenly feel so old. XD How did you come across Detective Conan? Seeing as you read the manga first, maybe you read the English translated DC (or Case Closed) by Viz? Or maybe you read it online? XD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DetectiveConanfan 4 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 haha. yeah... most of you guy are old... hehe and yeah... i first found it when my mom suggested it for me after she found it at a library. then i looked it up and started reading it online, since the library only has vol. 15-24 right now, but i think they're getting more. You live in CA right? me too. Where are you?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
la vanille 1 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 San Diego. You? Oh, and it's great that your mom was the one who actually recommended it. XD Although my own mother encourages my love for books, she tries to keep me from manga and anime, as she thinks I don't get anything from it. Ah well...it's too bad that I love it. XD And no, we're not old, lol. You're just young. XD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DetectiveConanfan 4 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 I live in Placentia, in Orange County. Small place. yeah, but i think my mom regrets it. XD She probably thinks i'm obsessed with it now, always reading it online, and says i'm getting fat, sitting in front of the computer all the time. XD Lucky, your mom encourages you to read. My mom always says i read too much and like limits my reading times, or tries... and my other family members don't really approve of me reading manga. poor me.

Maurice 274 Report post Posted July 18, 2009 Hello Julia! Yay, you finally registered! Do you actually prefer the manga to the anime? or are they both more or less the same to you? =o I was planning to start reading the manga (I'm mainly watching the anime right now). I just need to find time, heh. Oh and there's no age for appreciating a good manga/anime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
la vanille 1 Report post Posted July 18, 2009 Lucky, your mom encourages you to read. My mom always says i read too much and like limits my reading times, or tries... and my other family members don't really approve of me reading manga. My mom says that reading widens my knowledge about the world (not to mention my vocabulary), so she lets me read as much as I want, only with the exception of mangas, so I do have to pay for my mangas with my own money, which I really, really spend a lot on. And she never did mind me reading as long as I kept my grades up, which I do, so we get a win-win situation. And I really don't get what people have against manga/anime, seriously. My father doesn't like it and says it's childish, but oh well...they really can't do anything now since I've already grown up loving it. XD Oh and there's no age for appreciating a good manga/anime. LOL. I definitely agree. XD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sister makes teases me and my dad says it's childish, like your dad, but then he says that about everything i do online... :roll: But sadly for me, i'm not grown up yet, so they CAN do somethings about it. My mom doesn't like me reading, cause i only read fantasy books, and she says i don't get anything from them. I have good grades though! Oh and there's no age for appreciating a good manga/anime. i totally agree too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katiokid1412 1 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 Hi I'm new here and I am 11 and I tottaly agree you are not to old or to young to watch anime, or read the books personally I like the books better because I can take it on the go. The great thing about that is you can bring it to places that you think are boring. I only have book 1and 3 but I am getting more and I do belive you get information from Case Closed or Detctive Conan. They give you information about what happens when something like that happens and how people losing there loved ones feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
