When I Watch Japanese or Korean Stuff XD

     Just a quick post here. I dunno, I'm in the mood to post a lot lately, but then I scrap it or something, but right now I'm like f-it! Imma post this!
     And right now I'm watching the live action version of The Wallflower, which was first a Japanese manga and then an anime and then a drama. So I already watched the anime, in the English dub and I liked it, but it wasn't my fav. It is sorta in the vein of Ouran High School Host Club... but more strange and a bit different animation style. Overall, though, it was funny and mostly light hearted but it still tackles a few "serious" topics. Like Ouran, it goes over the top a lot though.
     As for the drama, I'm only on episode six of ten and, as usual it puts the drama in the drama. I notice this a lot with the difference between manga, anime and dramas. The anime is usually stylistically closer to the manga, but the dramas can include a lot more of a mix from the manga if the anime didn't get to it. Usually the manga is longer and the anime doensn't always get to finish all the story in the manga. I also notice that the anime usually is more... fluffy? Like, the anime usually seems more light than the manga, but it depends. And then the drama likes to ad random characters and random drama into it that the manga or the anime never had. I notice that a lot. Usually the drama does that for romance though. The dramas are more tailored to the romance of it all, where the manga and anime may only hint at something and not fully commit, ya know.
     Anyway! The whole reason I started this post was not to review it XD But it was just to mention that I used to be super into both Japanese anime and dramas and I used to study the language (same with Korean stuff) and so now when I watch, especially the dramas, the language and usage comes back to me and I start using expressions XD And now, since I've seen a lot of Korean and Japanese stuff, I mix and match and I'll think or say something in both languages XD I think its funny. I dont even realize it until after I said it XD
     Yeah, it usually goes away after a few days, or maybe a week or two, unless I pick up another anime or drama, but its fun while it lasts XD So, if you ever meet me and I mumble somthing that doesn't sound English, its probably a common phrase from a Korean or Japanese drama XD And I say drama because I doubt real people talk and act the same as in dramas.
     Anyway! Toodles for now! ^_^ I'm going to bed!
