Issue 2
From the Editor
I
t has been over two years since the publication of the first issue of KAGMAG.
Although many attempts were continue
the magazine, frequent changes in leadership regularly disrrupted the project. In
fact, no leader could be found to get the
project moving. By the middle of 2006,
the project was officially abandoned by
its staff, and KAFMAG was spoken of no
more. The project’s forum lay dormant.
However, despite the troubles that have
plauged this magazine, hopefully some
new life may be fed into this dead baby
from the release of this issue.
Although nothing public was ever released during the time of the project, a few
writers stood up to the plate to contribute
some of their own writings. Several articles
were actually written during the duration
of the team’s existence; however, I chose
to not put them into this issue because I felt
that they were not sufficiently complete
(on which I blame on the understaffing of
the team). In addition, some other work
completed by other staff members, such
as the wonderful magazine designs and
layouts of Dan, did not make it into this
issue.
Regardless, now that you are reading
the second issue, I hope you enjoy what
new effort and life has spurred into KAFMAG. This issue has been developed and
put together within a matter of a few days
through a lot of badgering of members
to contribute on such short notice. I give
much gratitude to those members who
took some time out of their lives to add
13 January 2008
something to this magazine. I would like to
also throw a thanks out to those who I borrowed articles from without permission,
potentially putting them into a bad context
(i.e. I stole Rasen’s post and tried to turn it
into a article).
As for the future? I am not sure if
KAFMAG will start to follow any release
schedule, less even publish any new issues
any time soon. The life of this magazine is
largely dependent on how much all of you
are willing to contribute on an occasional
basis. Although the original team did have
staffing issues, there was a lack of incoming articles to begin with. I would like
to encourage an environment where the
magazine is not written by its own team
writers but by members like you and me.
Given the free nature that envelopes
this magazine, you do not have to write
about anime or KAF. As you read through
this issue, you will realize that some other
topics are discussed, ranging from electronics to politics. As long as your content
is not offensive, it will likely be approved
to be put into the spotlight. And if you are
not sure your idea will pass, feel free to
drop me (or whoever the current editor-inchief is) a message.
Enjoy the read,
SK

What others had to say about you
In a special mission from SK, Betabeta went out to ask KAFFERS what they had to say about
other KAFFERS. See what they have to say By sk89q, Research by Betabeta
S
o, what do people have to say about
you? Our reporter, Betabeta, went out
to the dangerous streets of KAFC to
ask KAFFERS what exactly they thought
about others. Here we find out, from the
fruit of her research. Individuals were
selected as they came to mind.
Although Betabeta was supposed to
“write” this article, she was unable to meet
the deadline, forcing SK to do her work.
SK is sad. Lastly, remember to take these
comments lightly! No harm or offense is
particularly intended by this article.
of fun. Although she be a bit rough, she
makes up by being honest and genuine.
Like angelgurl, Bella’s Internet sucks, big
time.
Amatsu—A great guy, he is a fun
person to talk to. He is not so random or
goofy though.
Blindo—He can be very opinionated and yet still stay open to suggestions.
Overall, he is a great friend to play around
and be serious to. Ever want to talk about
signatures? He’s the man [now, dawg].
angelgurl—Angelic
polygamyobsessed KAFFER with the worst connection on KAF. Her connection is so bad that
she will probably disconnect before you
hit the ENTER key, having been outrun by
dial-up.
Asami—Relatively unknown KAFFER who used to be active, cool, and easy
to talk to. Asami tends to run away from
bad things.
BellaIllusions—Full of fun, Bella is
the light at the end of a tunnel (the tunnel
being the bad day, der!). To put it simply,
she is an understanding NUTshell wonder
Betabeta—Betabeta is an awesome
promiscuous lady. She is both the best
thing since sliced bacon and a Detective
Conan freak. In addition, Beta is the girl
who is oh so pretty that it B-B-BLINDS
your eyes! People join the chatroom just to
see her there! Her journal is followed like
someone would read a map.
Cali-chan—Bubbly, British, swimming suit. Cali is so happy and full of life
that you sometimes wonder if British food
has drugs in them! A sweet and kind person,
Cali seem to always be cheerful (you know,
the mood-lifting kind of a person) and fun
to talk and joke with. On the other hand,
Cali has this weird obsession with Tony
Slattery and can be extremely moody too.
Demonshadow—Roleplaying gangsta
of love who never disappoints and is happy
all around. He never wants to ruin the
moods of others. However, if you want to
ruin his~ two words: glasses fetish.
Don
NaciRema
Camelot
187757—Complaining, weird guy full
of negative attitude and with the longest
username on KAF. Although he can be
fun to talk to, Rema usually speaks too
negatively about almost everything, making it hard to relate to. One could say that
he needs a dose of life besides where he
lives—he is very stuck in his idea of life
surrounding only what he knows and not

the rest of the world. However, when he is
not those things, Rema can be a pretty cool
dude, despite being a bit more direct and
outspoken than most people.
Drifter—One cannot forget the Truffle
Shuffle that he performed! Drifter, a feespirited foot-obsessed foot boy who loves
the foot, he is the chicken man! He does not
care too much about what others see him
as. Chad is a silly little man who loves his
video games.
flcooly—flcooly is a watermelon from
Mars whose life is largely unknown. KAFFERs find him delicious and delectable.
Hex—Masked. Mysterious. The smex.
Black cat. Army. Uniform. Goggles.
Inuyasha’s Best Friend—A KAFC
murderer, he is fun to make crime plot
with. His signatures rock too. IBF, a thankful, honest, and cool guy, he can talk and
offer input for any conversation. He is the
kind of person to invite over for a movie
and popcorn and some laughs.
Itu—Itu is a magical tea-obsessed
person who uses a gray font and can turn
into many things, in addition to being able
to poof-ith. She is the best person ever,
always commenting on stories, writing,
and whatever and giving honest input.

rASEN’S TAKE ON
Full Moon wo
Sagashite
(story continues on the next page)
Anime Review
(Rasen’s take on Full Moon wo Sagashite; continued from page 9)
the plot
The plot itself is meticulously developed
and well told. Do not be fooled by the first
few episodes. You will not be hearing just
about a singer’s rise to fame; rather, the
story becomes more complete as it evolves
to revolve around Mitsuki’s ability to
endure all the setbacks she encounters, the
main one being her search for Eichi and the
cure for the malignant cancer in her throat.
The first half of the 52-part series tells the
aspirations and dreams of each character.
The latter half develops into a more serious and mature story. This anime centers
mainly around the genres of romance,
comedy, and drama. (Usually I watch those
Blood Splattering, Reiatsu powerup, sword
clashing animes. Now that says a lot.)
On the characters
Mitsuki
The character is voiced by Myco who also
sings all the ending songs. Mitsuki is just
one character in which you want to cheer
her on throughout the whole anime. Her
willpower to live out her life to fullest
makes you just want to watch how it turns
out. Mitsuki’s personality and determination to suceed as a singer definately drives
the storyline and makes it interesting.
Takuto
He is one of the Shinigami sent to watch
over Mitsuki. His desire to help his friends
and act on the his gut instincts is what sets
him apart from most of the characters. Even
though he is “fated” to help Mitsuki live
out the rest of the year with no regrets and
take her life at the end of her time, he ends
up helping her. I would consider him as the
hero of the story since he helps Mitsuki
deal with her emotions.
Meroko
Gawd. At the very beginning, she was
so annoying. I felt like I just wanted to
punch her out (xD). However, as the story
progressed, I definately saw the maturity in
her develop as the story progressed. As she
sorts through her priorities, she learns what
love really is and how to deal with it.
In general, there are NO bad characters
in this story. Each character is well developed and relates back to Mitsuki, the main
character of the story.
Animation
I would say the animation is average to
good. There isn’t too much for me to comment except for the fact that the characters
are well drawn and the mood compliments
the music which I’m going to review next.
Music/Soundtrack
Go buy the soundtrack! Enough said. The
soundtrack compliments perfectly with the
mood of each scene. The ending songs,
sung by Myco, who does the voice acting
too, are some of the BEST songs I have
ever heard. Myco has a very unique strong
voice compared to many J-Pop singers. Her
range and ability to handle almost any kind
of song will be very apparent once you
listen to her songs. Since this is a music
-genre anime, I would say that the songs
even compliments the story’s emotions
really well. In fact, the lyrics hold very special meaning in the story. Heck, I’m even
listening to the soundtrack as I’m typing
this review. I’ve been listening to it over a
month and I just can’t stop. Eternal Snow,
the 3rd ending song, is the reason I started
watching this anime. After listening to that
song for a year and a half, the song still

does not seem old. Myself, New Future,
and Love Chronicle are just some of the
great songs in this anime. The opening
songs are catchy, but not even on the level
of the ending songs.
Overall
OMFG. Hellspawn. I had to retype this
whole thing after the KAF server lagged
on me. Now putting that aside, it does
NOT matter what anime you’re into.
You’ll be pleased of the time well spent
watching this anime after finishing it. It’ll
give you a nice fuzzy feeling. Compared
to many endings I have seen, this one is by
far the best crafted and well done. It’s not
perfect, but most animes have a crappy
ending. This one aims to please. I’ve been
somewhat tight about giving ratings since
I don’t want to give so many ten out of
ten scores, but this one, I just can’t resist,
but just give it a perfect score. This article was not intended for

Drugs are Bad
This is Bad too
Sweet Smiley at
it again
Betabeta voted
most loose
individual
The Sweet Smiley, first
caught back in August 2005,
was found again this week
abusing more illegal drugs
By sk89q
S
weet Smiley was apprehended last
Sunday for posession of 25 pounds
of illegal narcotics and the evasion
of the police. He was taken into custody
and is now awaiting trial in a few weeks.
His lawyer was available for comment,
stating that “Sweet’s conviction is upon
false pretenses and Smiley asserts that the
police officers planted the cocaine on him
prior to arrest.”
The smiley was found on “smiley”
street when officers were patrolling
the area by car. Sweet’s activities with
another smiley appeared suspicious to the
officers, and Sweet was requested to sit
down on the sidewalk. Evading capture,
Sweet made a run for it, causing two
squad cars and a helicopter to be called
for backup. The smiley was found on foot
two miles away from where he was first
caught.
Whether the arrest was falsified or
not, this is Sweet Smiley’s second arrest
involving the illegal possession of drugs.
The future is unclear for Sweet. Should
the jury find him guilty, he will be facing
at least 10 years of jail time and a fine of
1000 RAIS$. In a survey conducted by
IBF, Betabeta came on top
as the most promiscuous
By sk89q
I
n a recent unscientific survey of KAFFERS, Inuyasha’s Best Friend asked
voters to choose the most promiscuous inidividual out of a small list of KAFFERS. The choices included Usaki Ikasu,
Rem-chan, daloveofurlife, Betabeta,
BellaIllusions, SaiyukiFG, sk89q, Kitfox,
Kiara, and Anjiru Kaze. 24 people put in
their vote. Betabeta came top with eight
votes, followed by Kiara with 4.

KAFFER’s Contribution
KAFC: Scrolly’s return
A little look at a piece of writing by our local Jayu Makusho
By sk89q
A
H, KAFC. It is where KAFFERs congregate and chat about anything and everything that may grace their mind­—from what they ate this morning to how
they managed to pair two male guys on KAF together in order to create a gay
couple. It is were members have fun, make friends, and best of all, bond. The chatroom
has served to be an important center piece to the Keiichi Anime Forever community.
However, the place can be a little hectic at times, and our fellow member Jayu Makusho
has written a clever piece on the craziness in which we call the chatroom.
Chat room, full of d00m, lose you mind in half the time!
Typos run amuck, make just one and hey you suck,
Bam bam there’s some spam, why we do it? Cuz we can.
Hey Hey, eat my mentos, do you get the inuendo,
hello all I’m so hyper, OMG A GURL LEZ CYBUR,
holy lord what’s up dude? Let’s all poke and call him noob,
F.ck all u, I don giv a damn, censor dodging? HEY your banned.
Net Ops do thier jobs, people like to steal srexob.
Poke a girl, poke a guy, Hey you can even poke your eye,
Laugh your asre off, laugh out loud, laugh all you want and be so proud,
Slap with pudding, slap with fish, everyone joins to slap the Bish,
HOLY COW Machinima, keep Sk away or he’ll burn ya,
omg Yaoizres here, watch every guy run with fear,
Guy loves girl, girl loves guy, ten minutes later they want to die.
Someone cheats, someone cries, someone gets sad tries sucide,
hey look there, he’s a pimp, he’ll tried to cyber the goodyear blimp.
Now’s it’s quiet I wonder why, AW this sucks chat just died.
You just witnessed Disconnection, Every other hour it will happen,
Woot no noobs, chat is fun, Randomness for everyone.
If being bored and tired is you, I know what you gotta do,
Come to chat right away, chat all night and chat all day,
So if you have any free time, go to chat and lose you mind. Written by Jayu Makusho, 30th June, 2005

Out-of-Date Game Review
us politics
BioShock: atmospheric, immersive,
and like a movie
US 2008
presidential
primaries
A gripping, immersive, interactive movie—BioShock is fit for
both the FPS and RPG crowds with its exceptional storytelling and exciting action By Master Sergeant Jimmy
Y
es, the special section detailing all
the games you’ve already played.
Since, I like reviewin’ games,
and, don’t necessarily have enough pocket
shrapnel on hand to buy the new games as
they come out, I tend to review games as I
play them, which, works against me; by the
time I get my hands on new titles, they’re
already several months (maybe years) old.
So, let’s look over, say... I don’t know...
BioShock?
BioShock, for, those of you who don’t
know, was the recently released, story
driven, single-player FPS juggernaut that
took both the game review and game buyer
world by storm. But, why? It had no multiplayer modes, scantily-clad women, and no
cyborgs in giant, green armor. In fact, on
the surface, feature-wise, it’s bare and only
presents to you a story mode with three
static difficulties and 50 easily achievable
achievements (most of them tied to storyrelated events) One also cannot forget the
mundane things such as upgrading your
character.
But, where BioShock succeeds is its
ability to tell a story well. This sucker
is atmospheric and immersive, and all
while—best of all—it makes you think.
What was that? A mere video
14
KAFMAG
game—that most evil of a CD in plastic
cases—actually presents to you a gripping,
morality-influencing story that certainly
puts any recent film attempt at storytelling
to utter, irrevocable shame? Well, cut yourself in half, and call yourself a Munchkin!
It’s finally been done.
BioShock firmly plants you in a world
influenced by the works of author Ayn
Rand, George Orwell, and any other four
controversial writers you care to mention. In the underwater, failed “utopia” of
Rapture, you assume control of a man who
seems to have only been put into his situation by mere chance. Atlas, a benefactor,
as one could describe him, offers to help
your character through the nightmare he
has managed to let himself slip into. You
accept his offers, assuming that you will
just help him until at least you can escape
this underwater world.
It seems pretty ordinary at first, but, as
the tale evolves, you’ll find out it is much,
much, more than you thought it was. The
excellent storytelling is supplemented
by the extensive character customization
proided by gene upgrades called Plasmids,
which supply your character various attacks and powers, such as flames emitted
from your hand or mind-control powers.
These customizations grace the game’s
cover with all their hulking, menacing,
glory.
However, the gameplay itself is barely
above-average; it’s fun, but, even with
its multiple ammo types, impressive and
useful weapon upgrades, and extensive
character customization, it just feels kinda,
been there, might not have done this, if you
can follow that.
Despite the disappoiting play, the story
and atmosphere more than make up for it;
this is a first person shooter that will even
appeal to both the role playing game fan
and the crack-addict Halo player. A summary of the results
from the recent primaries
T
he US 2008 presidential primaries
are well under way with results
for some states already in. On
January 3rd, Iowa chose Mike Huckabee
and Barack Obama with a strong lead for
both candidates. The 5th of January saw
Mitt Romney scoring well in Wyoming,
having attained 67% of the vote, versus
a 25% vote for the leading competitor,
Fred Thompson. The recent
New Hampshire primaries
from January 8 pointed to
John McCain and Hillary
Clinton as close winners.
Michigan will be having its
Democratic and Republican
primaries on January 15th, to be followed
by Nevada’s primaries on January 19th.
The last of the primaries will occur
on June 3rd Montana, New Mexico, and
South Dakota will be making their votes
in the primaries, in either both or one
party.
The Candidates
No Republican candidates have dropped
out since the start of the primaries.
Rudy Guiliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan
Hunter, Alan Keyes, John McCain, Ron
Paul, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson
are still running for presidency. On the
other hand, three Democratic candidates
have dropped out (Joe Biden, Chris
Dodd, Bill Richardson), leaving Hillary
Clinton, John Edwards, Mike Gravel,
Dennis Kucinich, and Barack Obama still
in the race. Want to discuss these candidates,
their policies, and their performance?

Down and Dirty
An interview with Kitfox
We get down and dirty with the man himself
O
r reporter sk89q sat down with the
man himself... over KAFC, and
interviewed him in this Down and
Dirty series.
Kitfox has been a KAF member since
10 June, 2006. He will be turning 18th
this coming March 2008. His favorite
TV anime shows include Hellsing,
Gravitation, Gundam Wing, Gunslinger
Girl, Loveless, and Sukisyo.
SK: So, let’s start with the basic question.
How did you find out about KAF?
Kitfox: Well, I believe it was originally
through the Os2 Anime section, after Googling for anime downloads; after a couple
weeks, I looked around the boards and
signed up. ^^
By sk89q
SK: Okay. If you could have only one
music CD ever, what would it be of?
Kitfox: One music CD, eh? ...probably a
mixtape of Wolfsheim and Edge Of Dawn
I guess.
SK: Now, if you could ask any person any
one question, who would it be and what
would the question be?
Kitfox: Tricky... I can’t think of anything.
>< Sorry.
SK: Pepsi or Coke?
Kitfox: Coke.
SK: If you could be in any anime, what
anime would it be?
Kitfox: Gravitation for the music and fun,
or Loveless for the kitty ears. ^^;
Kitfox: Usaki Ikasu, my Whisky~ ^^
SK: So, when Kit needs to have a bite of
something to eat, what does he go get?
Kitfox: Skittles!
@.@
...Always skittles
SK: Dream job?
Kitfox: Keyboard/synth player in a band.
SK: Ooh, that sounds cool. What’s your
favorite forum on KAF?
Kitfox: The roleplaying subforums, although I don’t go there as often as I used
to...
SK: Day or night?
Kitfox: Night, means more people are on
because of the time difference from there
to here.
SK: Kay... so far, what is the best thing
you’ve experienced on KAF thus far?
SK: If you could become any anime character, who would it be?
Kitfox: Hmm, tricky. Definitely the chat,
most everyone here is fun. ^^ Although the
roleplaying section is good too.
Kitfox: Shuichi Shindou.
SK: Sounds reasonable. Hug or kiss? (and
no, not from me >>... from your special
someone)
SK: What anime is that from?
Kitfox: A kiss. <3
SK: What do you do when you’re not
KAFing?
Kitfox: Gravitation.
Kitfox: I generally write for/participate in
roleplaying off-site, or listen to music. ^^;
SK: Sounds fun. If you were to create any
word to add to the known English dictionary, what would it be?
Kitfox: Uhm... I have no idea o.o
SK: Oh I see... What do you think about
SK and his bean fetish?
Kitfox: Nya~ Sk’s fine I guess, although
I’ve never really seen his bean fetishism in
action. .-.
SK: Any last words?
Kitfox: Nope, can’t think of any ^^; Not
very inventive today
And that has been DOWN AND DIRTY
with Kit! We hope you enjoyed learning
more about this interesting man. SK: Which KAFFER do you look up to
the most?
SK: Hmm... If you were to change anything about KAF, what would it be?
Kitfox: Just find a way of improving the
chat, maybe combine it with the [A/V chat]
somehow? ^^; but then, I don’t know how
it’d cope with the lag.
SK: If you were a care bear, what image
would you have on your tummy?
Kitfox: Hmm... a fox-head sillhouette?

On KAF
The hidden secrets of KAF
Various features of KAF that have fallen from public knowledge are investigated
Anonymous Benefactor
T
o anyone that has been KAF for a
while, they know that it has far way
too many features. Most of them are
for fun, but members tend to forget about
them fairly soon. Of course, this is not odd;
obsession over blinking colored bars for
a month could be a sign of insanity (the
unfortunate fate of Usaki).
While most of these amusements have
been largely well-publicized, or so for
at least a short period of time, there are a
few that only some members have had the
chance of discovering. These secrets have
made some rounds through word-of-mouth,
but the general KAFFER population is still
oblivious to their existences.
In this feature, we will be recovering
and uncovering, some forgotten additions to
KAF that make it a more unique and crazy
place. KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE.

Opinion
The lowdown on Ron Paul ‘08
On why Ron Paul is the right choice for America
R
on Paul, a Constitutionalist Conservative, has become a real factor in
the 2008 US elections, rising above
his competition with his strict constitutional
policies and firm agenda. As a member of
congress, Paul has introduced numerous
pieces of substantive legislation during his
term, many more than most members of
Congress.
(continued below the inset)
By Yoshiyuki
Paul represented the state of Texas in the
House of Representatives (1976–1977,
1979–1985) and became the first member
of Congress to propose term limits, among
other things. In 1984, Paul, a graduate of
the Duke University School of Medicine,
voluntarily gave up his seat and returned
to his medical practice. He returned to
Congress in 1996 and has since worked to
restore the constitution and significantly
or for the Patriot Act, nor for letting government intervention take control of the
Internet.
Paul made an early stand against the
Iraq war, does not participate in the Congressional Pension Program and returns
a portion of his office budget to the US
Treasury annually. Ron Paul is a strict
constitutionalist—a true conservative.
If Ron Paul were to be elected, he would
Words of Ron Paul
Aaron Russo: Do you think America is
going deeper and deeper into becoming a
police state?
Ron Paul: Yeah, I think we’re moving in
that direction, because there’s not much we
can do without permission. The absence of
a police state is that people are free, and
if you don’t commit crimes you can do
what you want. But today, you can’t open
up a business, you can’t develop land, you
can’t go to the bank, you can’t go to the
doctor without the government knowing
what you’re doing. They talk about medi-
According to his website, he purports
himself to be “the leading advocate for
freedom in our nation’s capital.”
Background
In his earlier years before politics, Paul
considered becoming a minister with his
two other brothers, but instead elected to
enter into the career of medicine. However,
before Paul could complete his degree, he
answered the call of his nation, serving
in the United States Air Force during the
1960’s. While in service, Paul moonlighted
in a San Antonio church hospital near his
base for a mere $3 an hour.
Ron’s congressional career began in
the 70’s. In the late 70’s and early 80’s,
13 January 2008
reduce government taxes. As a 2008 presidential candidate, he brings new hope to
the American democratic system.
Policies
His policies stand greatly above the
others. He has never voted to raise taxes,
for an unbalanced budget, for a federal restriction on gun ownership (which gives us
the ability to defend our rights), for a congressional pay raise (voting against raising
his own income), taken a government-paid
junket (buying a representative a day out at
a country club to discuss “ideas”). Neither
has he ever voted to increase the power of
the executive branch (presidential power),
cal privacy, that’s gone. Financial privacy,
that’s gone. The right to own property,
that’s essentially gone. So you have to get
permission from the government for almost
everything. And if that is the definition of a
police state, that you can’t do anything unless the government gives you permission,
we’re well on our way. This is something
that people eventually, I hope, will get sick
and tired of, and say enough is enough.

“a funny, romantic drama”
Saiunkoku Monogatari
Anime Review
(Saiunkoku Monogatari; continued from page 19)
O
ften translated as Tale of Saiunkoku
(literally means Tale of the Land of
Many-Colored Clouds), Saiunkoku
Monogatari follows the travails of Shuurei
Ko. The Saiun government is split into 8
provinces, each named after a different
color with purple being located in the
capital as the ruling family. In order of
power they are: Shi (purple), Ran (indigo),
Ko (crimson) [under the guise that red and
blue make purple], Heiki (turquoise), Kou
(yellow), Haku (white), Koku (black), and
Sa (brown). Only the heads of the family
and their immediate relatives are allowed
to wear the family color.
Shuurei, being the only daughter of
Shouka Ko, the eldest son of the Ko family
is, for all practical purposes, the princess
of the Ko clan. However, after giving up
their garden and money to the common
folk during the famine brought about by
the struggle for power eight years ago, her
family has fallen on hard times. She lives in
a huge house, with a pond, and what would
have promised to be beautiful cherry blossoms, but unfortunately, they don’t bloom
anymore. Nonetheless, her house is falling
apart. She shares the living quarters with
her father, Shouka, and the boy he adopted
eight years ago named Seiran, and they
barely have enough money to feed themselves much less fix up the house.
Shouka has a high ranking position as
the Head Librarian of the Royal Archives;
however, the pay isn’t much, thereby forcing
Shuurei to work as well. She is very skilled
at playing the ehru (a musical instrument
resembling a wooden ladle with a string
stretched between the top of the stick and
the wooden cup like thing at the bottom;
played in a similar way to the violin). So
skilled, in fact, that people are willing to
pay to listen to her play. She’s a very good
cook and is a determined girl with a very
strong character, which leads her to accept
the job of becoming the emperor’s temporary consort and convince him to take up
his rightful throne.
Important Characters
Shuurei is a young woman who spends
most of her time either working or teaching
young children in the temple school. She is
the only daughter of Shouka Ko, the eldest
13 January 2008
son of the Ko family, so that practically
makes her a princess, however she’s unable
to live like one. Her family has fallen on
hard times since they gave their garden,
fish, and money to the starving citizens of
Saiun during the struggle for power eight
years ago.
Ever since she was a little girl, she’s
dreamed of taking the Civil Service Exam
and becoming a government official so that
she could help the people. Unfortunately,
women aren’t allowed to take the exam,
and so reluctantly, Shuurei’s had to step
away from her dream (though she hasn’t
stopped secretly hoping just yet). She gets
a step closer to realizing that dream when
she accepts the job to become Ryuuki’s
temporary consort and tutor to help him
take an interest in the kingdom. While
there, though, she has a near encounter
with death—someone seems determined to
kill her.
Seiran Shi* is a very quiet person.
He was found and adopted by Shouka,
Shuurei’s father, thirteen years ago and has
lived with them ever since. He cares about
them more than anything else in the world.
He is about 21 and is very protective of his
adoptive family. He often provides a listening ear to Shuurei whenever she’s got a lot
on her mind, but he doesn’t confide in her
as much as she’d like. Seiran has vowed
to spend his life repaying Shuurei and her
father for their kindness.
When Shuurei moves to the palace,
he became the troubled emperor’s royal
bodyguard. He is very good at hiding his
emotions, but despite this, Ryuuki eventually figures out Seiran’s big secret. This
discovery brings them closer together, and
when Shuurei accidentally walks in on
them hugging, she thinks that Ryuuki has a
romantic interest in him because the townspeople believe the emperor is homosexual.
After Shuurei leaves the palace, he returns
to his job of guarding the rice granary,
though he will forsake that position when
certain people ask favors of him or need his
help.
Ryuuki Shi, the “useless” emperor, was
crowned six months ago. He is nineteen
years old, has shown no interest in governing the country, and is believed to be ho(continued on the next page)

Saiunkoku Monogatari?
S
o where can I get this delicious series? Geneon Entertainment, Inc. has
picked up the first series (originally
running 8 April 2006 through 24 February 2007) for licensing inside the United
States. Therefore, if you’re in the states,
you should be able to pick up the series at
your local (if any) anime or online at places
such as Amazon (for now, at least). On the
other hand, for international shoppers seeking to get the anime, fansubs for Saiunkoku
can still be found floating around on the
Internet if you cannot buy it otherwise.
Presently, a second series of Saiunkoku
has been running on television in Japan
on the NHK network since 7 April 2006.

Anime Review
Relationships
(Saiunkoku Monogatari; continued from page 19)
Online dating:
making it reality
mosexual by almost everyone around him.
Trauma produced by domestic violence
has caused in him to rarely show emotion.
Seien, the second son, was the only one
who really cared for him. Shouka taught
him basic writing and arithmetic after finding the young prince wondering the Royal
Archives. Shortly thereafter, Ryuuki’s father died from an illness, Seien was exiled,
his mother passed away, and his other four
brothers killed each other fighting for the
throne, leaving little Ryuuki alone with no
other choice but to take power. However,
once King, he did nothing, causing many
people to label him as a useless, stupid
emperor. He, of course, has his reasons,
which start to be revealed shortly after
Shuurei enters the palace.
These three, among others, peaked my
interest in the series. Though they fit anime
archetypes, they are transformed into three
dimensional characters by the plot, which
provides endless character development as
it progresses. When I sat down to watch the
first episode, I didn’t expect to find it any
different than other shows in the romantic
comedy category; however, I quickly became enthralled with the story. The setting
is the fictional country of Saiun, whose
architecture and culture resemble that of
ancient China. The opening song, Hajimari
no kaze (“Winds of Beginning”) sung by
Ayaka Hirahara is an appropriate lead in
to the show, and mixes well with the rest
of the soundtrack. In whole, the music
enhances the ancient setting because all of
20
KAFMAG
it is played with traditional instruments.
A glance at the promotional picture for
the series (full of so many beautiful men!)
coupled with the summary talking about
Shuurei’s decision to become Ryuuki’s
consort for six months, immediately led
me to draw the conclusion that the series
would inevitably end as most people
expected Ouran High School Host Club
to end (the main character being forced to
choose between several impossibly beautiful men practically throwing themselves at
her). Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised
when the series went in the exact opposite
direction. The situation that quickly becomes evident is not unique to the series.
In today’s world, several countries still
grapple with the issue. Yet, it explores this
topic with out trying to make a political
statement. It’s documentation of the state
of affairs of Saiun is almost historical in
nature; the journey documented proves to
be one of the major contentions of the first
season.
The show is not all work and no play;
there are plenty of light hearted scenes to
keep the viewer entertained. A character
I found particularly amusing was the eccentric youngest brother of the Ran clan,
Ryuuen. Dressed like a prince, he wanders
from place to place, playing his flute (so
badly that it can cause people to go insane
if forced to listen to it for prolonged periods
of time), and playing cards. He is so peculiar that people distance themselves from
him, but he is actually genius. The hilarity
surrounding his character typically comes
from his bad flute playing and tendency
to behave as if those around him were his
servants.
Though the series isn’t 100% action,
all the time, every episode, it is very intriguing and out of the ordinary. For these
reasons, it has become one of my favorite
shows. The cast is large, yet everyone
important receives plenty of development.
Saiunkoku Monogatari’s second season is
coming to a close. The series was licensed
in 2007 by Geneon Entertainment, and
slated for stateside release in August of that
year; however, with the recent shutdown of
the company, it is unsure of what will happen to the series in the United Sates. Rachelle, well known as one
of two KAFFERS who made
their KAF relationships tick,
explores how making an
online relationship work
By SaiyukiFG
O
nline, there is fantasy. We can
present ourselves to others however we want without revealing
any undesirable traits about ourselves.
Extending our imaginations into role
plays and chat rooms, we let ourselves
believe almost anything for a minute
amount of time. This is apparent when
online relationships begin.
Now, I do not think that an online
relationship can never work, but I know
from first hand and observation that
people tend to take an optimistic view in
believing that the person they have come
to care for would not deceive them because of the strong power of love. While
I agree that love may be a large part of
making a relationship work, I also believe
that those who are involved in most online
dates are blissfully ignorant and naive.
I may come off as harsh, but only so
because I know friends that have made
the typical mistake. I have been there to
listen to them during their revelations
about how the person they put so much
time and devotion into ended up being
someone completely different.
Establishing an good online relationship requires more to begin with and more
to work with than the average relationship.
There are four primary aspects to turning
an online relationship into realistic one in
the real, offline world.
Key One: Age
Yes, age. Too many online relationships involve under-aged teenagers,
generally within the age range of fourteen
and seventeen. This is problematic for
many reasons. At this point, you are neither legally nor financially responsible. At
such a young age, you are just not mature
Issue 2
enough to take a relationship from just
forums and chatrooms into the streets for
a real date. Age does have a large impact
on how your relationship will progress.
For one thing, if you are old enough, your
parents cannot stop you from seeing this
person and you will have likely already
have gotten a job to cover the expenses of
travel.
Key Two: Distance
In reality, attempting to date one person
living in another country is neither smart
nor realistic. Closing the gap of an ocean is
hard and often times a deal breaker. There
is nothing that cannot turn that ocean into
a river at the age of sixteen. Money might
make the crossing easier, but money does
not grow on trees. Being states apart is less
of a challenge, but in the end, it is still a
life-changing decision to be with them.
Being closer in proximity removes much
of the risk and trouble. At a future date, you
may think about making the commitment
to move closer to the person you love, but
it is an important decision whose answer
is most likely no given the cost and risk
involved regardless.
Key Three: Finances
Love does not buy you a plane ticket;
that is not how life works, unfortunately.
Neither will it buy gas or train tickets. Outside the Internet, we know and understand
this, but for some reason we start to believe
anything when we are talking to someone
online. Finances is not something that can
be forgotten. Undoubtedly, it will cause a
large strain on any relationship. Trusting
your mate to handle the finances is also
troubling. Entering into a new environment
without your own means and relying on
someone else can bring a lot of unnecessary stress.
Key Four: Commitment
This would be obvious to anyone, but
sadly, many times your significant other
may just not be sufficiently committed to
ever take it to the next level. They will
discuss it but may never actually work
towards the goal. Ultimately, this leads to
frustration and a breakup. If you cannot
commit to meeting a person you love, then
how can you commit to making the move?
When you come to realize that you need
more than just love and you decide whether
or not you have the other requirements then
you can decide if you’re ready to take the
risk and make the commitment.
In the end, a relationship is made up
of a lot of things and there are a lot of requirements to make it work out. So many
people online don’t think about all of the
things that make a good relationship. They
figure love is all you need. And while love
is a big important part, regrettably, it’s
not enough. Be smart when online dating.
Know the risks and know that the person
on the other end of the internet connection
may not be what your fantasy believes
him or her to be. Accept responsibility and
reality in a relationship and be ready for
the rough road ahead. In your mind it’s all
wonderful, but once you log off and go to
the airport to meet them, the reality sets in
and the real trials begin. Getting Love

ae is an American rock band I
have become fond with in the
last few months. An acryonym
for Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience
(based on a course name that the drummer
took), they fit into the piano rock and rock
genres. If you like JRock, this is surely
not for you. They play light music, mixing in a variety of classical instruments.
At first, I fell in love with only a
handful of songs. Cover Me; Goodbye,
Goodnight; Mistakes We Knew We Were
Making (love the intro background);
Someone Else’s Arm; Last Call; and
Suspension were the songs I started with.
I never got settled with some of their
other songs at first, but now they are
growing onto me too. Anything, Brink
of Disaster, Just Let Go, Paintless, Summertime, Telescopes, and The Ocean are
some of these songs. Try a listen at these
too; the style varies a bit in these.
Their discography includes three
full-length albums, five other compilations, and one DVD. Samples of their
music can be found around the Internet.
Try iTunes or any other music purchase
service to get the tracks quickly.
Who else is a fan on KAF? The only
one I have met has been Rasengandragon.
Maybe you will add to the list? Rachelle and Alan have become the second KAFFER couple to turn their online
relationship into reality and keep it alive. (Austin and Nikki being the first, married and
happy.) The two first hooked up over two years ago back in 2005, then moving into
the same apartment a few months later. The two still are happily together as partners
looking forward to a happy marriage some day.

show that. He is a relatively unknown RPing administrator who is rarely on KAF.
Touch Rais, now.
Sorano—The Living Kikyou. Inuyasha. Irish dancing.
Rasengandragon—Smart man who
keeps his cool; interesting to talk to. In
addition, Rasen is also a half naked guy
who is sometimes KAFC’s background.
Patient.
Kessi—Tiny, hyper girl who eats only
sugar for all her meals. She is very random
and always lightens the mood. In addition,
she is unbakeable and tends to breaks
chairs. As her TCG card put so, she likes to
put boys into gay love affairs!
Kitfox—Hyper Brit. Real hyper.
Too hyper... Maybe it is because he never
sleeps? He likes wine, boys, smex, and boy
smex, and some more boy smex.
Mizu-chan—A friend of Cali, Mizu
is Yet-Another-Hyper-Brit (I tell you, they
have drugs in their English Breakfast!).
Easy-going (and no, not that kind, you
pervo!). Sweetheart.
Rem-chan—Grammar nazi. Bouncy!
Riogi—Riogi is an administrator who
makes an awful lot of awkward jokes, but
he is still fun to talk to and he knows his
stuff. DOTH NOT QUESTION RIOGI.
Tater_Salad—Potato. Beard. The
man. The best man ever. Tater always gets
something cool going on and is always
there to help out with technical stuff. Likes
boobs and butts, a lot.
guy.
Usaki Ikasu—Promiscuous, smexy
man lover who is smex-crazed. Tastes like
a rainbow, but not with Skittles. Usaki is the
man who steals all the men from angelgurl.
Indeed, he likes being all smexiful. His
smexiness can’t be described with words.
In addition, Usaki is Kitfox’s raep-victim
[sic] and an art mastah. Simply, Jeremy is a
cool, chill guy, that is, when he isn’t making
smexual advances on someone. Mysterious.
Funny. Random. Full of giggles. Curious to
the max. Full of counter—raeps [sic].
Yoshiyuki—Aurora_sword.
“Allah
itu Tuhan. Bunuh Amerika. Jihad. Jihad.”
“Give me liberty or give me death.” Spy for
the communist movement. Rather insightful but he does go a little crazy with random
crap in chat from time to time. Lurk ninja of
KAFC. Channer who is overly-passionate
for RON PAUL 2008. Fun, weird, and
unpredictable. Rider kick.
Oriana—Gayest gay. Kekekekeke.
*hugs Oriana*

Tantal—Sweet.
Goddess
hand.
Photos. Unknown. Very agreeable. Smart.
Polish Machine Gun. SK likes to touch her.
*touches*
Twinblades—Really
nice
Friendly. Awesome to talk to.
Man on a Mission—Best thing ever.
MoaM loves Jojo’s Bizarre adventure and
Fist of the North Star.
Platinum Trickster Negi—RP. Robot.
P and T and N. Dinosaur riding ninja pirate.
PTN likes talking to KAFFERs in chat and
giving SK lap dances at his pleasing. Being
the fourth Terminator, he is also the proud
creator of KAF Monopoly (almost). “Eat
veggies. Or meat.”
sk89q—A bean. Canadian bean at it
too. An overly too random weirdo, SK is
the head KAF bean. While argumentative
and a tad bit on the high and mighty side,
he’s a good guy. Busy ALL THE TIME.
SK? Albert? Or the terror in the night?
And that’s all, folks! Possible cousin of sk89q
