Pretty much. The rest of us only like anime with loads of blood and violence. Just kidding.

I love Fruits Basket. That's softer, right?
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Wow, another Marmalade Boy fan! That's so rare around here. I love the series -- never read the manga, though.

I like softer things, on some level. For instance, I loved Fruits Basket (anime, haven't read the manga). If something is really just romantic without drama or action or SOMETHING else, I don't usually like it. But yeah, sure. You're not the only person who likes milder stuff! :grin: It's cool.

I love Marmelade Boy. I like Piano, too, which is far softer than MB...

I love marmalade boy. I really really love Fruit baskets!! i actually read a lot of cute shoujo besides all the Shonen stuff. I get Ribon, which has a lot of cute stories. I like Aishiteruze Baby. That is really super sweet. It does have some that aren't jsut cute shoujo like Star Blacks.

I'm a big Marmalade Boy fan, as well. There's tons of fans here, we just don't talk about it a lot.

Could it be that it's a shojo title and a lot of us are males?

Oh not yet. There's like 8 volumes in all. At least it's short. Er... is it eight or is it three? Tokyopop confused me... Hey, Maramlade Boy isn't on the Tokyopop book list.

EDIT: Okay, it's eight volumes.

It's a really sweet series. My sister took my copies of the first 2 volumes. So I let her have them. I've read the whole series. It's really good.

And I think we are related on the adoption thread. Heheh

I loved the premise of Marmalade Boy: "We're going to trade wives with this random couple we met and all live in the same house! Oh, by the way they have a really hot son your age. Have fun!"

Also loved the number of relationships in that anime. You almost had to draw it out on a graph.

And who can forget their oh-so-flattering depiction of New York City?

I really want to see Marmalade boy, i've heard nothing but great things.

But no, your're not the only one who likes softer animes. I occasionally like to watch them too. Things from Someday's Dreams to Kimagure Orange Road and so far Figure 17. It's all good.
