**FYM Notice**
It's been brought to my attention that some of the links/images don't load correctly. Sorry, but there's nothing I can do about that. The best thing to do would be to reload the page. I don't know why, but sometimes the server just doesn't seem to get all the images/links loaded on the first try. It could also be that I was updating when you were trying to access it, because I don't like to take down the pages when I update since I update fairly often. The images and links themselves do work and are set up correctly because I always check them after I put them up. So, just try reloading, and if that doesn't work, then the best thing I could say is try again later because it could be something wrong with FortuneCity (heaven forbid! ^^;).
**TAIWAN ANIME/MANGA INFO**
Added: July 24, 2000

Well, since I'm vacationing here and can't really update my site much, I just thought I'd give everyone some anime/manga info that I've picked up here. Basically, it's stuff I've seen/read here that I recommend to FY/other anime lovers.
- I've read the first 5 volumes of Mint na Bokura by Wataru Yoshizumi, and it's sooooo good! But the last volume isn't out yet...grrr. But I highly recommend it!
- For Ayashi no Ceres fans who read the Chinese versions, so far the manga's only been released up to volume 12 here that I've seen. Hopefully, the last two will come out before I leave!
- FY fans, I've bought a whole bunch of Watase Yuu's other manga lately...a really good 2 tankoubon series is called something like "Eptransu Mai"...sorry I can't be absolutely certain about that, but if you go to a Watase Yuu fan page I'm sure you'll be able to find out the correct name.
- What's really great here is that they play loads of anime on TV!! So, I've seen a bunch of anime that I might not have seen otherwise, like:
- Saber Marionette J: this is such a great anime! I've seen around 10 episodes now, and it's still good! Lime is still my favorite character. It's so funny! I also really like the music...I've gotten the second soundtrack of SMJ and this 2 CD Saber Marionette Best (including SMR, J to X, and J) set...very good! And the characters are very well-drawn...well another highly recommended.
- WeiB Kreuz: I've seen 3 episodes of this already, and will be watching 2 more tonight. I still think it's kinda dark, with lots of killing, but it's pretty good compared to some other anime I've seen here...I think a bunch is targeted toward kiddies ^^;. Anyway, I love the seiyuus! ie: Seki Tomokazu (Chichiri) and Koyasu Takehito (Hotohori).
- Ghost Sweeper Mikami: This is an okay series...I think it's pretty old, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the premise is the beautiful, strong, money-loving female main character is a ghost/demon/monster fighter, handling jobs for money, the more the better! Her sidekicks include a blue ghost girl (Okinu-chan!) and this guy, I forget his name, but his focus in life is to see Reiko Mikami w/o her clothes on! Well anyway, it's ok, kinda like the Sailor Moon premise where there's evil to fight and they fight it, but I think it's up a level from Sailor Moon, which I personally can't stand. Sailor Moon fans, I don't mean to upset you, it's just my personal preference. So I'm not gonna apologize for my likes/dislikes, but I hope you're not bored/crazed enough to flame me. ^^;;
- Hana Yori Dango: I'd seen up to episode 28 of this anime before coming to Taiwan (English subtitles, from Sachi's Distribution), but I never mentioned it. It is really really really really great...I just thought of it again since it's playing on TV here, and I bought 2 manga volumes too. Currently, the Chinese version of Hanadan has been released up to volume 25. Definitely try this anime! Though, I have to admit, it's not for everyone. Some ppl can't get used to its different animation style, and it's also more serious than some other anime I've seen. I still thought it was really funny, though it's a different sorta humor than characters going SD all the time.
I'll add more when I see more!
