Title: Ohakonbanchiwa~
Description: topleka returns after...a long time
topleka - June 9, 2005 06:31 PM (GMT)
Ohakonbanchiwa (AIR refernence >.>) minna-san. Chances are you don't remember me, as I was active in the Zoids fan community ages ago (AKA about two years ago). Proof of this is my half-dead site Zi-Factor, which I have been inspired to start working on again ever since watching Zoids Genesis.
I like nearly all forms of animation, and I'm a huge Justice League and Teen Titans fan. My favorite anime series include but are not limited to Zoids (obviously), Yu Yu Hakusho, Angelic Layer, AIR, Bleach, Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime, Spiral, Detective Conan, and King of Bandit Jing.
As an anime fan I enjoy cosplay, writing doujin, and voice acting for fandubs and radio plays, which I also produce.
My favorite Zoids characters are Irvine from CC/GF, Jamie from /0, and Luke from Fuzors. I haven't quite chosen a favorite from Genesis yet, although I'm leaning towards Ruuji.

Welcome to the one and only Zoids Evolution Forum. Please store all carry-on in the overhead bin, and fasten your seatbelt securely. :D
Enjoy the forum, and post regularly... or DIE!
Join the RPG... I wanna see some half decent pilots joining the forum. :D :P
topleka - June 9, 2005 06:53 PM (GMT)
Half-decent. ^_^;; Isn't that being mean to some of the pilots there already? I'm related to one of them, you know. XD Nah, S'okay. I know what you meant. ::stows baggage in overhead compartment::

topleka - June 9, 2005 07:08 PM (GMT)
Ah, so desu ka. I'll have a look, then. ^-^

Yes, that AIR. I can't remember if it was in the anime or not, but Minagi says it in the PC game as her typical form of greeting.
Scottfab - June 9, 2005 08:22 PM (GMT)
hi. or, ohayo, konnichiwa, and konbanwa.
i'm an anime fan too, but I just watch it. :P
Sky Dragon - June 9, 2005 09:04 PM (GMT)
A Titans Fan, huh?
Whoareyouwheredidyoucomefromwhatisyourfavoritecoloranddoyouwanttobemyfriend? (or something like that anyway...obscure reference XP)
No seriously, Favorite Titan(incl. all the obscure ones)? Favorite Bad Guy(ditto)?Which is funnier, Starfire or Beast Boy? Favorite Episode from each season(There've been 4 so far, with a 5th one on the way)?
Two years...DANG, just before I got here...
Anyway, Welcome back? I think?
...
HOW RUDE OF ME! I forgot to introduce myself!
My name's Will, I'm ZE's Official Glomper of Rhyss (Back off, she's MINE! *glomps Rhyss*). I'm also the Second Rockman.EXE fanboy (tip of the hat to DrkX/Fuz), and a Teen Titans fanboy with a severe liking of Batman and all versions thereof (excl. the 3rd & 4th movies and anything drawn by Frank Miller)
Anyhow, hello and welcome back...sort of.
I didn't see enough CC to have a favorite character, although I liked Raven, Jack and Naomi were my faves for NC/Z, Amy and Blake in Fuzors, and I still don't have a fave in Genesis yet...as for GF, well *points to avie, glomps Rhyss again*

...You're kidding...right??? Even though you don't even watch the RAWs or know what Stream is??? I think "wannabe/amateur" fanboy works better...
......Plus you forgot all about Hetman, DarkEnsui/Rain, and Tenken/Freezeman...that would place you at fifth...
Anyways... yay, another Genesis fan!!! w00t, aren't you excited for Seijuurou's appearance. It's funny that in two anime series I'm watching at the moment, both ninja duos from their respective series premier on the same day. (Rockman.EXE Stream will have Dark Miyabi and Shadowman returning after a LONG time while Zoids Genesis has Seijuurou and the Soul Tiger. w00t!!!)
Yes, I am a ninja....*posts a pic sometime later.* ^_^
Anyways, Konnichi wa, welcome to the forum, don't get eaten, and stay alive....
ZeRoRaVeN - June 9, 2005 09:35 PM (GMT)
hello and welcome and enjoy and blah blah blah
I think I've heard of air before somewhere.....
Drk-X - June 9, 2005 09:44 PM (GMT)
^ maybe because it was in Mr. Guy's sig....which appeared in more than a 1000 posts??? <_<
ZeRoRaVeN - June 9, 2005 09:47 PM (GMT)
I wasn't talking about that, I think my friends has a Japanese copy of the book....
Shadow Tigress - June 9, 2005 10:16 PM (GMT)
Hi, topleka. ^.^ I replied to a topic post you made but forgot to reply here, too. Glad to see you back.

...someone's not a true fan if they haven't seen the original version or all of a show? Not everyone has access to raw Japanese episodes or fansubs. Maybe they even like the dub.
And Sky, Rocke was here and Riese-obsessed before you, far as I know...she's just not here often any more :p.
topleka - June 9, 2005 10:45 PM (GMT)
I feel so welcome. ^o^
Let's see...
Sky Dragon: Earth, walked, red, and sure. My favorite Titan is Robin. I don't know if that's cliche or what, but I've always had an affinity with the no-power human ones. Favorite Bad Guy is hands down, The Source (AKA Nufu). Too bad Cyborg ate him. He cracked me up. As for who's funnier, Starfire is definitely cuter. Beastboy has his moments. I guess he's more funny in the usual way, but Starfire's so cute. Darnit. Okay, Cyborg's the funniest, if only for the (so-so) episode Crash in which he went on a rampage eating everything.
My favorite episode from season one is Masks, for obvious reasons (or if they're not obvious, it's because I think Robin rocks no matter what, and it was a very deep and thought-provoking episode).
My favorite from season two was Date With Destiny. It was hilarious, and I enjoyed hearing Will Friedle in another DC show (since he was Terry in Batman Beyond).
Season three's best was Haunted. That episode spooked me out so badly it was great. The ending felt like somewhat of a cop-out, but it was pretty good overall.
And from season four, I'd pick Employee of the Month just because The Source is in it. "We are nufu. It is our waaaaay."
Thanks for the welcome. I'm also quite a Rockman.EXE fan. I actually
fandubbed a scene from the first season (I voiced Enzan).
I am quite fond of Riese as well. She always was an interesting character. I won't glomp her though, so no worries.
DrkXFuZion, thank you for the welcome. Haha, I know what Stream is, I can sing part of Hikari To Doku Bashou with my sibling, Doobee Dowap Communication cracks me up, and I like Saiga Mitsuki. Do I get bonus points? XD And yes, I am quite excited about the upcoming ninja goodness, although admittedly, my favorite navi is still Blues.EXE
ZeRoRaVeN: AIR is a
PC game by
Key turned into a beautiful
anime series quite recently. There's another one in production at the moment, AIR Summer which focuses on the summer story arc of the PC game. It's very beautiful, and if you like deep stories or modern fantasy, I'd recommend you watch it. It's another series that I've been slowly fandubbing, actually.
Shadow Tigress and Tilly. ^o^ I remember you! Whooooaaa...cool.
Atrophy Within - June 9, 2005 10:56 PM (GMT)
I just NOW realised your name is Topleka... I thought it was Tapioca... That pudding stuff, however you spell the bloody thing. How funny... x.x

...he said Rockman, not Megaman. That means he was referring to the original.
Lolz, I love singing parts Doubee Doowap Communication at random....the Engrish parts that is... (We Bubbling!!!! Love and Peace have just begun, universe becoming one!!!!) Lolz. ^_^
How many episodes have you seen? I've seen all episodes 1-56 of EXE, Episodes 1-40, 42, and 44-51 of Axess and episodes 1-35 of Stream. Episode 36 of Stream airs this weekend btw. It's the episode where (spoiler tag): Rockman is framed by DS Rockman (Shademan's reincarnation) and he is arrested. Yuriko and Dark Miyabi work together to reveal DS Rockman and get Rockman freed. w00t, we'll definately be seeing a lot of Shadowman and Needleman action as well as finally see DS Rockman...w00t!!!(end spoilers)
Meh, sadly Blues has not been getting any action in Stream and in Axess, he's Dark Blues for most of the series. In Stream, Blues has only actually fought in episode 2, where he gets owned by Forte, episode 3 against Asteroid Beastman, he unleashes a sonicboom from Variable sword against Asteroid Desertman in episode 5, attacks Asteroid Flashman in episode 7, and defends Rockman in episode 31. Otherwise, it's either R-Blues or nothing at all. I don't like R-Blues' new design. The ponytail isn't as neato and Blues' seiyuu sounds nicer in battle. Lolz.
My favorite navi in Stream is pretty much Asteroid Napalmman. At first I used to hate him since he was extremely cold-hearted and such when his original version was working for Gospel. But I love his Asteroid version. He actually doesn't wish to be evil like most of the Asteroid navis and he wants a better world of peace. Also, he's incredibly powerful and shows a lot of emotion when you consider he has no mouth or eyebrows. Plus I love how he constantly argues with his operator Nenji. They argue over the most pointless things although that's what makes them so close.
You wouldn't happen to be a member at REO, PMM, or EXEHQ would you? I'm a member at those forums except for PMM under the exact same username although I use a Zero avatar and sig at REO. Well, if you were then you'd probably know me as I'm pretty much one of the few people who do avatar and sig requests. Lolz, while you might think "awwwww, lucky!!! I want fame!!!" I can assure you it's not fun. Look what it's done to me :P :P :P :P :P :P
*places you as the #3 Rockman fan on ZE.*
Rockman Fan Hierarchy:
-1: Me of course.
-2: Dark Ensui/Rain....seeing as she actually has a valid reason for liking Forte other than "omgz, bass is sooo kewl!!!" :P
-3: You. You actually know what Stream is so you get a promotion!!! ^_^
-4: Tenken/Freezeman. He introduced me to EXEHQ last year back in the day where I didn't know crap past making godly strategies in the games. Now I'm a staff there.
-5: Chaos...only because he doesn't suck at the games :P
-6: Sky Dragon
Enjoy!!! :P (btw, have you heard Hikari Todoku Basho De ~ Yuujou no Shiroushi??? It's the new Stream ending after episode 26.)
Dark Ensui - June 9, 2005 11:22 PM (GMT)
Welcome to the Zoids Evolution forum, topleka. It is a pleasure to see you here--though, admittedly, not thoroughly unexpected.
In any case, welcome to the forum.

Mainly because I told you I'd rejoin this place last night? XD
Nobody heard that. >.>
Anyway, DrkXFuZion, I haven't really seen nearly as much as you have. Maybe half that at the most. I watch it all raw, so some of the storyline tends to elude me, since I've only been studying Japanese for a short time, and watching raw anime is "helping me study." I'm not a member of those boards you mentioned, unfortunately. My board memberage is rather low at the moment because of school and other commitments. Hmm...number three on the list. I feel special. Ensui-kyoudai is one above me. XD Althouhg in all honestly, Dark Ensui really is a bigger Rockman.EXE fan than me. Oh yeah, and I haven't heard that song yet. Ensui-kyoudai downloaded it, so I could get it.

zOMG even better.
I've wanted to play the AIR PC game for quite some time though. I'm currently however waiting for the english fantranslation of it to finish as I don't like to use Oh! Text Hooker. Can you read Japanese that proficiently in order to understand the game?
The only other Japanese game I've ever played is the insanely popular Fate/Stay Night and am currently waiting on the english translation of TYPE MOON's first game, Tsukihime.
Since you like Angelic Layer, do you favor any other CLAMP titles? I personally liked Chobits and Card Captor Sakura a tiny bit better but still enjoyed AL.
topleka - June 9, 2005 11:49 PM (GMT)
I have the translation patch for the AIR game. It's not complete, but it covers most of the All-ages version, so that's how I play. My Japanese reading skills are on par with Mugen of Samurai Champloo (AKA non-existant).
As for CLAMP, I enjoyed the Magic Knights Rayearth manga a great deal, although the anime disappointed me. Same goes for Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. Chobts and CCS were also quite good, including the anime series in these casee. CLAMPs recent work just hasn't interested me that much, though. I've been trying to get into Kobato, and it's not that good, in my opinion.
König Warrior - June 10, 2005 12:02 AM (GMT)
This intro thread grew quite big, and I have yet to see it, unusual, but not unheard of..
Hello Topleka, I am one of your resident admins on this forum.
You as a new member have to undergo the obligatory initiation. This requires you to lose your soul, and sanity.. like mostly everyone else here.
*Steals your soul.*
The process used to be longer.. but it's simple enough... My freind Vega, if he is still alive, will come by eventually to make you crazy.
Have a nice day.
topleka - June 10, 2005 12:17 AM (GMT)
Hmm...losing my sanity should not be an issue. If you want my soul, you'll have to ask Yami Bakura about that, though. He got it awhile back, unfortunately, and I've been trying to duel him for it ever since. I hope you have a nice day as well. ^-^
Flying Shadow - June 10, 2005 12:29 AM (GMT)
OMG Yay Topleka's back!! *glomps* ^.^ how could we not remember you :D
topleka - June 10, 2005 12:33 AM (GMT)
Great Scot, it's Flying Shadow! Ensui-kyoudai mentioned that you rarely come out of hiding these days. I feel so honored. ^o^
Flying Shadow - June 10, 2005 12:37 AM (GMT)
Lol XD you should feel very honored XP. Since I don't know what persuaded me to come back at the moment.
F/A-18 Super Hornet - June 10, 2005 12:39 AM (GMT)
Wilkommen.
It's me, Bit. I really remember you. Heh. Wilkommen back, ja. :)
((My German stinks.D:)))
topleka - June 10, 2005 12:43 AM (GMT)
Oo, Bit! Or F/A-18 Super Hornet, as seems to be the case now. I remember you too. ^-^ Ooo...nostalgia...
What ever happened to you anyway, FS? Dark Ensui/Li/shadowfox missed you. You Hiei fans need to stick together. XD
Flying Shadow - June 10, 2005 12:49 AM (GMT)
Eh, I'm not really sure what happened, I run alot of websites now a days, I'm part of many RPGs and now I'm caught up in chat room drama. I'll start coming back, and this time I'll try to keep my promise.
topleka - June 10, 2005 12:52 AM (GMT)
Hehe, I know the feeling. I completely forgot about Zoids until the new season came out. College does that. O_x Even my Wizard fansite is in serious need of updates. But yay! You'll be coming back. ^-^
Flying Shadow - June 10, 2005 12:53 AM (GMT)
Yep, I be comin' back ;). I haven't really forgotten about zoids, and plus my brother (Zelos) has been driving me crazy woth talk of the new season.
König Warrior - June 10, 2005 12:54 AM (GMT)
Wait.... your a returning member? Yet you post a new introduction...
I can't steal a soul of a returning member... I thought you were new..
FS.. your back... again... where do you keep disappearing.
Flying Shadow - June 10, 2005 12:57 AM (GMT)
*looks around* Konig! ^.^ eh...hmmm, good question, where do I keep dissapearing too ^-^;.
topleka - June 10, 2005 02:27 AM (GMT)
Umm...I'm sort of a returning member. I don't actually remember Zoids Evolution. I was active back in the day of the Soaring Dragon forums. So it's sort of a return, since a few of you probably remember me, but in theory I'm new to the forum.
JammerLea - June 10, 2005 04:38 AM (GMT)
OMG TOPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! *FLAIL*
Hi! =D
I remember you of course. XD
I'm now one of the admins here now, but I'm still the same old O'Connell obsessor. X3
