Mataku da. I should pay you a visit with my boomstick for that. Be ashamed! Burn! BUURN!
You needed to be lucky to find pr0n your brother downloaded? Damn, if my brother ever got his hands on my computer for those purposes, he need only be able to see :/

@blur
That Twitter account seems to be advertising false internet products and is thus obviously an impersonation. The real Meiling would be infinitely more endearing. 
C&#039;mon blur, you gotta at least be able to name her to call her a favorite character T-T</description>

		<description>Right off the top of my head... I&#039;d say it&#039;s that chick from Umi Monogatari. :p
I have to admit, I&#039;m not particularly good with names.

I wasn&#039;t too sure who Hong Mei Lin was, so I did a little googling. Lol.

Her twitter came up... Lol.

		<description>Back when I was younger all we got was a 2400 baud modem and a bunch of BBS access and if I&#039;m lucky enough I can find a stash of pr0n that my brother downloaded from the adult BBS...

Yes, pretty much that goosebump feeling when I hear it. Especially if I haven&#039;t heard it in a long while. Agreed with you on Black Rock Shooter. Though I lean more towards Melt and I MELT whenever I hear that song; kek, awful, awful pun.</description>

Oh man, that is eerily coincidental. And also cheesy. 
I wouldn&#039;t call it shallow; these characters ARE designed to be aesthetically pleasing, after all. More often than not it really is the looks that strike a chord first.
I guess I&#039;m of the luckier half then, with 70% (or so) of the internet being erotic materials ^^; 
Miku plays on other themes besides coolness I suppose, because of the nature of her voice. Though Black Rock Shooter is pretty damn slick.
Is that feeling you got in any way attributed to goosebumps? Hello, Planet gives me goosebumps every time. 


@Lyli
Yes, why only show love for them on one day, right? Valentine&#039;s Day&#039;s feelings should be perpetual. You&#039;re right, in the city-face of things, they have lost their charms. Still, one can make their own out of the holidays, and that would be plenty charming. Set up a Christmas tree, hand-made presents, the like.

Hooh, surprising! You were able to pick out a definitive favorite as well. I thought you&#039;d have troubles like many others, given how many characters you like ^^ But arriving at a conclusion is good too.

@Katsura-chan
I agree too. It&#039;s quite unideal to make so much out of a single day when one is supposed to be showing their love everyday. Still, I think valentine&#039;s chocolates &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; cute. 
I&#039;d thought it&#039;d be impossible for most people. Characters are meant to have all sorts of points that attract people, and different characteristics that one enjoys would be on different characters. I&#039;m still surprised as to how I so definitively have a favorite character.</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t agree more with Lyli on this one, when you love it&#039;s all the time, a continuous series of good attention during the year.
Well for now i&#039;m single so a i welcome your toast with pleasure :)
And i completely despise the amount of mediatization around events like Christmas ... boring.

For your question ... i just couldn&#039;t decide which characters is my favorite. Impossible lol :)</description>

		<description>Happy late Chinese new year and happy valentine.
St Val is not a very important event to me because when you love someone it&#039;s Valentine everyday. Moreover i think this is way too commercial just like Christmas, New year and so on... Their charms as fadded away. 

My most favorite character is Clare from Claymore. Simply because i like her usual self, and her deep look. :)</description>

		<description>@Tim: Yeah, funny enough I was typing my comment here and then the figure skating commentator on TV when I was watching the Olympics was saying that &quot;the stars are aligned&quot; for this pair or something like that... I would&#039;ve spit something out if my mouth was full. Very coincidental, lol.

I worry that by liking a character through aesthetics make me feel shallow, lol. And wow, I think we&#039;ve discovered H around the same age then... Except it was still limited back then for me ^^;

I do like a lot of Miku&#039;s songs, but somehow her voice wasn&#039;t cool like MEIKO&#039;s when I first heard her in Sorekara Bokura no Justice. It gave me the same feeling when I first heard Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis.</description>

Thanks! People use it as an expression? Seriously? Wow, they&#039;re either professional actors or very dramatic people...
My only memories of Tomb Raider consist of perpetually drowning in the first PS1 game.  

It&#039;s not as if it wasn&#039;t just another day for me, either :p Can&#039;t have many spectacular holidays here when it&#039;s just me, all day, seven days a week.

Why not be charmed by aesthetics? When it comes to fiction it&#039;s as good as any reason, right? Ayanami Rei was also an infatuation of mine maybe when I was about ten. Yeah, that sounds a little extreme, but I remember her being in the first doujin I ever read. Whew, could&#039;ve potentially gone into a very dark place in my childhood. 
Wait. 

Saber was the same for me too; the armor design was what pulled me in. I think I was about thirteen when it was the &#039;time of Saber&#039; for me. I went as far as to have &#039;SABER&#039; carved into my bed. Hmm, maybe I should reevaluate my childhood.

That&#039;s a very romantic reason to like MEIKO for. I&#039;m pretty sure my obsession with Miku back then started with her character design.

@FaS
Ikan! You are unfamiliar with the songstress? 

Start here. It always starts here nowadays &gt;.&gt;

&lt;object width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;340&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/jwgiEyFIjm4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/jwgiEyFIjm4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;340&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;

Miku is conclusively a voice synthesizer program, but a great character design and how people can still ingeniously compose awesome songs with her despite her limitations has made her very popular. Of course, being a perfect doujin implement due to lack of canon helps as well.

And no, don&#039;t stop at World is Mine, Ryo is a great composer; continue onto his other works, like Black Rock Shooter, Koi wa Sensou and Hajikoi. Then branch off to other groups like OSTER project, and fan-favorite songs like Saihate. I recommend Scissorhands right now, off the top of my head.</description>
