		<description>@otou-san: Thank you! Especially for inspiring me to organize our blog! XD I&#039;ve only been semi-spoiled regarding TTGL, but I know there&#039;s soo much more in the series, which I won&#039;t experience till I watch it :)

@Kabitzin: I probably wouldn&#039;t have thought much about joining 9rules if it wasn&#039;t for your pimping, so thank you very much! XD</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;@usagijen&lt;/strong&gt;
At first, to me that&#039;s true. xD
It&#039;s interesting to learn it coz we&#039;re also very much interested in anime/manga.
But I think as time past by, we start to like the language as is coz it really is interesting to learn. x&#039;]
&lt;del&gt;(When I was in the Philippines, I was reading the kanji/kana&#039;s I see wherever I go. Lawl xDD)&lt;/del&gt;</description>

		<description>Oh. I already have a year of Beginning Japanese under my belt, so I know how hard it is to get stuff (which is &quot;not really that hard&quot;), so it&#039;s okay. :P</description>

		<description>That was neat. I know next to nothing about the Japanese language, especially written, so I&#039;m envious. 

Congratulations on your much-deserved acceptance to 9rules.

And definitely finish TTGL, lest someone spoil the awesome things yet to come in the series.</description>

		<description>Thank you guys! and now for the &#039;personal&#039; replies :P

@issa-sa: kanji exam! I somehow I wish I had one of those so I&#039;ll be pressured to study lol.

@Diego: I&#039;ve been a weeaboo for as long as I can remember, and no other etymologies have interested be as much as the Japanese, it seems... I have to be more interested in English so I can improve more orz.

@Caitlin: hehe, glad you found it interesting, despite all the confusing-ness! XD

@hazy: the Japanese language, especially. Fascinating, yet really confusing :? 

@Panther: I say don&#039;t focus too much on getting the hits, and enjoy it as it comes. It&#039;s more fun and fulfilling that way ^-^

@Wija-chan: lol, sorry, hope you didn&#039;t run out of blood from reading all this :P Learning Japanese becomes really interesting because of the anime and manga interests we have, which makes us see it as something fun.

@Omisyth: I still hope you got something out of those confusing kanjis I wrote :P I don&#039;t really deem myself worthy to advice about 9rules, but I do believe that the moment you find that certain &#039;voice&#039; and passion that commands you to write, it won&#039;t be long before .

@Ryan: Glad you liked it! Knowing that there&#039;s much sweet raburabu in TTGL on top of the awesome action and GARness makes me put it on top of my backlog watch list. Hopefully I&#039;ll get to watch it after I finish Nodame Cantabile XD

@TheBigN: please don&#039;t let my confusing and sucky Japanese explanation skills scare you away :? It might even be simpler than I make it seem like! Well just keep on learning the language for fun and you&#039;ll eventually find yourself getting a better grasp of it :)</description>

		<description>Congratulations on both the hits and 9rules. 

And this is just more proof that getting a good grasp on Japanese might take a long while for me. :P</description>
