CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Hiya, CAA people!

I guess this is an introductory thread of sorts.. so.. woo!

Hmm, hmm.. well, I was actually a member of CAA a loooong time ago, back when it was not much more than a yahoo group or such, if I recall! :p Probably went by a different name back then, but.. I certainly recognize a name or two! :] I also made this account a while back, but guess I never got around to being all that active... until now! :p

Oh and and.. I am, in fact, a Christian! Non-denominational by design, I study on my own, with friends, and often times with a li'l Church out of Arkansas via web stream, forums, and some local TV air time they buy up. Wanna know exactly what I believe - go read the Bible. It's all there.

Hmm, I'm also into art & design a bit (working on the July coloring contest right now! ^^) but I don't have all that much up on teh net at the moment, but I hope to get more and more up on my SA site (assuming SA isn't going to be down forever >>) which can be found here: ArtShapedBox.SheezyArt.com

I also play bass in a band, and starting to try my hand singing (what am I thinking ).. guess I have some potential, but I think I'm far from great at the moment! xD Heh, our band also doesn't have much up online at the moment, but we are short a drummer and either a vocalist or bassist.. depending on which I end up doing, unless I get the hang of doing both at once. :p Anyway, we'll be updating and adding songs to this page as we get stuff around: www.myspace.com/UnEvolved

I guess some of my favorite band/musicians would be.. Blindside, Demon Hunter, Chevelle, Amy Lee/Evanescence, umm.. pretty much anything by Yoko Kanno, and random J-pop/rock and some techno-ish stuff.

Umm, and YES! I love anime! xD Heh, I guess the kinda stuff I like is considered by some "girly anime" ..like, lovey dovey romantic-comedy type stuff. BUUT, I like stuff like Bleach and Naruto and Death Note and what have you as well!

Some other anime I like as well, off the top of my head: School Rumble, Fruits Basket, Trigun, Chobits, BECK, His and Her Circumstances, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Love Hina, Full Metal Panic!, Cowboy Bebop, .hack//Everything, Ai Yori Aoshi, Onegai Teacher, Pretear, Tsukuyomi Moon Phase, umm.. and many more I'm forgetting, no doubt. >>

Hehe, anyway.. I guess that's a "quick" description me and my interests. Sorry to all who actually read through all of it hoping to find something interesting.

Annnnd yes, I must now forever live with consequences of a sticky shift key.. being forever known as ArtShapedBOx instead of ArtShapedBox.. ooh the shaaame! ^__^;

Anyway, take care all, and God Bless! See ya 'round! n_n

hello and welcome to CAA. hope you find your time here enjoyable.

Welcome back to the Nuthouse!

Greetings, salutations, and whatnot! As for the shift key incident with your username, it's not so bad, really. I mean, at least you didn't mistake a Q for a G, like, er, somebody I know... <.< >.>

Have a banana!

*gives you a banana*

Hello and a very warm welcome to you. I hope you enjoy it here and drop by the chat sometime. ^_^

Hey thar, and welcome!^^

Thank you all for the welcomes! ^^

Feels good to be back amongst my anime crazed brothers and sisters!

Haha, and yea.. I guess teh capitol "O" isn't such a big deal.. hehe. I suppose I could have made a qreater mistake than that.

Oh - thanks for the banana.. it's good to see people taking potassium seriously around here! I'll put it under my pillow for good luck!

yaay!! Welcome to CAA! ^_^

you should get a DA account too. :3 that's a nice place ^_^ and it doesn't crash as much as SA.

You are coloring the july coloring contest?! AWESOMe we could use some entries! ^^

can't wait to see your artworks

Hiii!! Thanks for the welcome! And yes, I should get a DA account as well!

Oh, haha.. I just went there.. err, and I'm logged in. I guess I did make an account a while back, but didn't upload anything.. kinda forgot about it, hehe. But yea, I'll just have to start posting art there as well.. might even start liking it better! Hehe, I was kinda "forced" to start using SA a while back by Depth Charge from SA.. she threatened my very health!!

And, YES! I colored your line art for the July coloring contest! It's actually posted now.. was a lot of fun! I could color nice line art like that all day and night. ^_^

Hello and Welcome!

ooooh I just checked it out! It looks great! ^_^ Thanks for coloring it! :3

XD it wasn't THAT great I noticed an error in the fairy's ear XD but you did a good job!

I am Christiankitsune over at DA so I will add you as a friend! I hope to see your art over there soon...

Thanks for the welcome, Ayato! Hello to you too!

*gasp* And there's an error in the fairy's ear? *deletes it and starts over* I'll get it right this next time!

Hehe, thanks though! Feels good to know the one who did this actual line art liked my coloring attempt, even thanked me, hehe.. and you're welcome! Anytime! I really did enjoy coloring it!

And woo.. my first friend on DA! I'll try getting some art up on there in the next few days.. sadly I don't have much of my old stuff anymore.. and some I only have on SA.. oh, which is FINALLY up now.. hehe. ^^]some [/I]stuff, at least.. even if it is old. :p

I mean in my lineart XD

Oooooooooooooooh, hehe.. oops! xD

I think you did a really good job with the line art!

It can take a lot of attention to detail to get every little thing just right.. I almost always find li'l errors in my stuff when I'm looking at it later on.

I actually prefer using vector based lines to 'ink' my scanned sketches.. but, yea.. tis a lot of extra work. :p

Hello new member of our food supply....uh, I mean! Welcome to the board.

*Hands out Chocolate Pocky and Ramnue Soda to our new member*

If you ever need to talk to someone, just send a pm.

You can call me Bradley or Roy Mustang or just Roy or Mustang


Col. Roy Mustang

Welcome back... the sound in your avatar freaks me out.

Welcome to CAA! Hope you enjoy the experience!

Hehe, thank you all for the welcomes! Glad to be here! ;D

And woo, chocolate pocky and ramune soda! Good to see no one goes hungry around here!

Hehe, and I wasn't aware my avatar had sound, mechana2015.. unless you're referring to the "noise" from the super duper color reduction and compression I used to make it meet the max files size limit they have set for avatars..

Otherwise it would look like this:


But, oh well..

And heeey, wait a sec.. half of you are just copying and pasting the same generic welcome you give everyone... weak. I may as well have just said "Hi" for my whole intro thread.. hehe. Ehh, but oh well.. gotta get your post count up somehow, and at least give the the impression of being friendly and personable! Wouldn't want anyone to actually put thought into their welcomes.

Hehe, but thank you to those that did give me a genuine "welcome!"

Hey Jeremy! *dizzy from long intro j/k* Well since you asked for a non-generic greeting--

Hey! I'm Darkelf. Welcome to CAA ^^

Cool! You have myspace? I do too! My favorite song from Evanescence is Lacrymosa. I don't like girly anime XP. My sister likes Naruto but I'm indifferent--Kakashi is my favorite character. Oh--I like .hack//everything too as you can see by Balmung my avatar and Haseo in my sig (except I don't play the games because I don't have a console). I think Fruits Basket is boring XP.

Well, there you go, hehe. God Bless and see you soon! : )

Haha, yeah... guess my introductory post was a bit long! ^^;

And woo ~ yes! Thanks for a real welcome, DarkElf!! Feels much more welcoming than some copy & pasted stuffs.

Ahhh and yea, I do have a myspace! :p I don't use it too often, but it is a nice way to stay in touch with friends 'n such! My favorite Evanescence song is.. I don't have one! I like too many of 'em.. all in different ways. ^^; Hehe, and yes.. I don't know why I like "girly" anime.. just a sucker for romantic/love stuffs.. I can't help it, I'm probably defective 'n such! And I do like Naruto, but not so much the English dub.. guess it's that way with a lot of anime, for me. And yes, .hack//everything is soo cool :p I also don't play any of the games.. but I'd like to try 'em out sometime. And yes.. I love Fruits Basket.. again, probably because my brain is broken or something! ^__^

Woo, hehe.. well thanks again for the non-generic welcome!!

God Bless, take care, and see ya 'round as well! ^^

Hello and welcome to the CAA! Hope you enjoy it here.

Ahh, thank you Mr. KeybladeWarrior sir! I'm sure I will. :]

I'll try to avoid my forum lurking tendencies, and be an active part of the community.. but we'll see. Often, lately, I don't seem to have enough time for much more than lurking.
