I'm feeling a bit of the collection hunter inside me, has plans  ; )
But we will see , what happens 

So how do you take care of your collection ?

I'm really curious about that .
I love to see others photos or ideas how you best take care of you collections ^^

 ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣ☸ڿڰۣڿڰۣ☸

Myself have most of the manga, books in bookcase, bookshelves.
Just now I haven't the room for all, so its a bit chaotic with manga books and magazines in the bookshelves.
I know, but I have a very large collection , especially when it come to the manga's & the magazine's .Those take up space indeed.
Here is a photo on the many manga's, magazine, dvd, vhs I have.

I think I perhaps need a other bookcase just for the fact that the collection is still growing. but also for I want the Vhs tapes, dvd, dvd boxes need their one space.


The other item I have in a closet,cabinet, most put in plastic and boxes. Just to keep it safe.
In a black large box I have the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin collector figures.
Some say I need to clean up and put the merchandise there you can see the item more. But I guess I'm a bit to careful. And I have to cats that like to explore. Better safe then sorry, as they say.
Mine favorite card, with Sniper I have in a platstick card sticker. I know that were made for Hockey, but it goes aswell with ginga cards.
When it come to card collection there are so many idea what you can do for the collection you have.
I still have some plastic boxes that I use to mine collection.

I can make a suggestion when it come to the merchandise: as cards

I have got this ones.
It's hold and protect the cards.
Not so expensive get and a safe way if you want, really want to take care of the cards.
The others like GNG sticker,magnets, other cards I have in folder, files. .




I have plans to frame the poster, card and other tings that I got in the collection. But that are a other project, I guess.

Character or Gender

So I will talk about  something that have bother me for a long time.
I have hear the discussion, debate,argumentation for years now.
I guess the start of this were in the year 2005 or 2006 when it come to: Yoshihiro Takahashi being sexist.
The gender,argumentation criticism about  (like some call it ) weak females.

Beware of some spoilers and a different view

First I think that are way easy to start to whine, grumble, complain and sometime I feel like some people follow the complain squad: this I mean with out to even think by themselves.
Just follow the pack, more or less. 
Don't get me wrong, of course everyone can have a opinion .We have different taste and view on thing.That is true
But that is a different to have a view,opinion or just follow along to just complain just because for the other doing that.
Why is that that everything need to have a woman in the story , perhaps force to have a female role in the story or the movie just to be political correct.
It seem like non care or forget there is different field, direction or audience with mangas
Some focus on younger people like teenager, there are some mangas that have a more older fans.
There is manga for female (Shōjo manga) ,manga for male (Shōnen manga) and so on. 
There is a large market and different audience.

Most of the so called Ginga manga's have the category ; Shōnen
And Shōnen is manga aimed at a male audience. 
I think people forget or don't know that .
But this don't forbid others like females to read, be fans or like the manga just because its Shōnen. But IF other think about this, perhaps the grumble and the complain will be a bit lower.


My thought go to two author, writer that are well known: S.C.Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien .
When it come to this  Ginga argumentation

If there is discussion, argumentation about Takahashi why not look on those two authors.
I like and love to read their books, like Bilbo; the Hobbit  and Lord of the ring by  J.R.R. Tolkien.
But that main thing is the focus on the male, the men in the story.
Perhaps “boys-only club” as a blogger write a time back. Sure way not.
Today we have series on tv with feminine point of view, magazine, movies books and so one.
So why is that we cant allow a author to write a story with a man's, males point a view?
Before someone take out the torch and scream ; Sexist!

Can we same that same if a woman write a story about just females ?
Is she sexist too in this case ?

I see myself as a nerd and I most of that time love the books before the movies.
If you have read the book; The Hobbit , by J.R.R Tolkien and seen the movies as : "An Unexpected Journey","The Desolation of Smaug" and I just wait for the last of the trilogy "The Battle of the Five Armies".
You probably know that there are many changes from the original story, the book to the movie

! Bewere of some spoilers!

The big problem I had with were character Tauriel ,from the movie "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"

"Tauriel is a fictional character from Peter Jackson's feature film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
The character does not appear in the original book, but was created by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh as an expansion of material adapted from the book, and first appears in the second film in that trilogy.
She is a Woodland Elf whose name means "Daughter of Mirkwood", and is the head of the Mirkwood Elven guard. "
~Quote from Wikipedia
 For me it's strangest to feel the need to create a character that wasn't in the original story. I know that filmmakers do that, changes to create a movie. But If this character were create just to please women point view, that  something I dislike ,really dislike.
Sure that made that story different , like that face Legolas  wasn't in the book.But he show up int the movies .....
For me the Tauriel girl were just boring , if someone have the need to create a character why not a interesting one. Then boring one.

When you look on the trilogy Lord of the Ring, even the elf Arwen got a bigger roll in the moviesthen she have in the book. If I remember right Arwen show up in the first book "Lord of the Rings" and are not so much in focus until the end of the trilogy The Return of the King,
But like Tauriel , Arwen got a bigger roll in the movies .

Why ?
Do we human have a need to throw in female in story's just to feel better ?
Why can we just enjoy the stay with the characters and forget this crazy gender focus .

Perhaps the trigger is that fact Tolkien’s stories lack a feminine point of view
But to me those book are more focus on men,males.

So is this Wrong ? Can you call the author a sexist ? 
Just because the author, artist write or create a story from his mind , his fantasy ?
Shall we censor,censorship just because there is society correction

Do we not make the female character weaker by demand more females genders?
By force we take in gender just for we think; this is needed.
But then will those characters fill the purpose, will they be a part of the main story or do we need to change a manga story/book story just so some people feel good.
Do we really need to change so much that when we go to see parhaps the movie (that are built of the book/books)many thinking are different in a bad way ?
Do we really need to change story so we shall feel better in a dream world there evertyning seem to be fair. Besides from the author, artist that create the story and their world  in the manga, book or movie, tv serie.

When it come to S.C.Lewis there is a character name Aslan in the Narnia books .There is a thing that I find strange in the book and older movie of; The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe
When the war against the evil witch tha human girls aren't allow to go to war.
Aslan says to Lucy and Susan that they are more needed to take care of those that are wounded then to fight like their brothers in the war .Sure this is perhaps a strange view, but that is a view the author have on his story.
Right ?
Sure the different ideas or view can annoy us.
But who are we to bark and complain than actually read the book or books.
If I don't like it, then I don't like it.
Can you hate a other person just for this one have a different idea or view.
Still I said I find it strange, but I don't think it can help to complain loud about that.
How it should be or shall be

I guess I have a different opinion, view on this

That I don't agree to by force place female character in a story, manga or a book just for the need to.
An author or in this case a manga artist being called a sexist just irritation of others.
This person write from his mind, ideas and dreams.
Why should a person be punish and name called just for the face that some other don't like his idea or story's ?
Really ?

This whine, grumble, complain getting to old people.
I wish that the large amount just could stope , just a bit.
At same name call, it just childish and disrespect for the manga artist, the author .

I just want a interesting Character , I don't really care about the gender.
The more important thing isn't the gender for me.
It's okey if you like a character if that on is a male or if that is a female.
But really I wonder how a story manga can be interesting just for the gender then the adventure, challenge, friendship/enemy the main character meet.

That fact that Yoshihiro Takahashi being smash in the face for being called sexist is something that annoy me and have for a time now. 

Rumors,Harassment and Bullying

 !  Warning should be advise !
This is a topic about sensitive subject and can contain thought, experience and ideas, that others can find offend .
Perhaps even images can look provoking or violent ?
If you are sensitive for this you should walk away form this blog topic about;  bullying, harassment, rumors and so one 


This is mine thought , ideas , experience.
As the always in in this blog.
But just in case I had to put a waring.

Thank you for the attention

--------------------------------------

This is a hard subject to take up, really.
But I think necessary to speak about.
Yes it's about indeed the : Rumors, harassment and bullying

I know that similar and ideas, subject haven been take up on other blog
Like : Elitismi Ginga-piireissä : Elitism Ginga circles  by Urumi
And : Gingafandomin  By Satanica

How can there be differences fans and so called elit fans ?
Why do fans act up on each other ?
The silence about the subject ?

But also Anttu have take up though and the approach. Ovatko suomalaisfanit kiittämättömiä?/ Are the Finnish fans ungrateful?Myself mention about the subject time ago.
Hey  & Here comes updates and some plans

The thought I have been wondering (for a time), if WE fans can sound or act ungrateful ?
Especially where you see sometime on the board, forum how some people can throw out their frustrate or idea's how a artist, author shall write or for that mater paint.

Don't get me wrong here, sure others can have opinion, view and be critical.
There are their right of view.
But yet, is there really a point to smash a artist / author on forum.And list the bad things with the story's, manga's , art he have has done over the many years? 

"Nothing good comes from hiding in the Shadows. But you will be surprised what can happen if someone dare speak or ask question.
That few seems to dare ask. But either where few dare to take a stand.  

Weed seem to be topic to like or to dislike.
For some more hate subject.
Often Weed Anime vs Weed  manga topic ?

To talk about certain topics may make it more opened, more  maybe even friendlier environment for the fan community.

I guess one of the many things make the fandom community, bad environment.
Not just the smashing of Yoshihiro Takahashi and his many work.
But the nagging , dragging out allt the bad with the series and the character/characters.
How it should be, shall be, or even how realistic some things is or aren't .
And if other/others have an idea or want to discuss something.
Sometime that can turn out to a argue.
And then something can badly lead to other things, like this subject here on the blog.
The rumors,harassment and bullying.

 
When the subject on bullying and harassment the community of fandom ,(as ginga) , mine
opinion and the experience that kind of thing are ; silencing down.
Like the quiet will eat up the bad tings happing.

Or just this subject that happens around the forum, board weren't serious


Sure there are many thing all over the Internet and the community of different fandoms that have problem with just harassment, bulling and for sure rumors.
I think the atmosphere are harder since seven.,eight years back. Just to take a example.
Well aswell the atmosphere and what other allow at community.

With community I think on Forum,Board, Message board, if you wonder 

Ginga Nagareboshi Gin Doujinshi  Michin.
Beautiful fan manga

There are really great, talent fans out there. There is different way to express as art, writing or just be social with other fans. There are a good,great side of the fan community.
To bad ther are oftan or time to time shadow by the bad side. 


When that come to some forums, boards there have been talking about the elite, the veteran.
Who is the true fan and so one. Like there are a competition.

A long time ago ( I feeling to old)  there were some fans that thought they were better then others.
Just for they discover Ginga elderly then then others.
It's same with a music group I like, I were late to discover the group (according to some others at the board) and there for not a pure fan .....
What ?
Come one, that sound so childish
Or that I hadn't all the Cd that the music group released, not been around on the concern , or had the items that you could buy or could. 

O_o  The words are  lost when you heard , seen this in text at the current forum,board
And the admin didn't do noting or little at all.
This meant that the bad fandom for the board got a bad rumors.
Bullying, even harassment , the admins, mods favored some people/users
With this you get is bad for any board, forum.
And people left ... the only left for a time were the so called elite.

That were a long time ago and one of mine bad experience.
What can happed if the  Rumors,Harassment and Bullying rules.

I really hope that non any fan board, forum or fan community see it like that.
There wrong to put fans and others fans in different category. 

Friendly, and opened minded are great condition for a community. As well as tho have a more respectful or friendly  way when it come to discuss.
Don't take your bad mood on others.
And the rumor thing , I'm so sure there are other things to talk about , gossip aren't to any good thing really.  
Why there are drama or fight needed on some places I don't really understand .  

It's Hurtful is when people more want believe rumor  and create wrong/mean reputation to a other person.
Especially when "there are always two side of the coin ".
And I guess it more easy to disbelieving a other person if you don't know everything or anything of the other person.
The reputation it's self can crush others and the way too. 
But with drama and bulling it's hard to sort out what happened and see if it can be sorted out.
It's way to easy to hurt other people feeling, when you are not : face to face with the others.
Then again there are those people; "who don't care or seems not to see others feeling".
Aswell the future communication.

But some perhaps just believe,  swallow what a other or others say.
Without thinking by yourself. 
So ; Don't listen to others all the time, think for yourself , sometime.
It can't hurt, so bad. Can it? 

“Strength lies in differences, not only in similarities”

There are also talk or rumors that if you are a ginga fan you mot have items,merchandise.
Or if that are believes ? 
It's sad when I hear people who can't afford merchandise or have bought to much items that they are broke.
Sure it's great to have some merchandise .
But to what price ?
The first thing you need to know that things can't buy happens.
Sure you are the one to talk,you have large collection.
So many times I heard this before , over and over.
To tell the true, I have work for this.
Even it' seems that some can't believe it.

But at the bad side, negative side so to speak to be a collector can have it's one addiction. And the can be a evil spiral. For some can fallen in to identify themselves with the items, the collection. Like a obsession that can take over.
I know this for sure, for I have been there myself.
The obsession to find merchandise, compare with others or just seem to compete.
Sure you can do that, compare but in a healthy way.
Ask yourself do I really need this ? Will this make me feel alright?

Sometime I have meet people who thinks that to be a fan you most have ginga
merchandise. That is't ture.
If you are a fan to
Yoshihiro Takahashi or any of his series with ginga. You are a fan, admire .
It's simply as that. 

I'm not just a Ginga fan or fan to Yoshihiro Takahashi.
Just so you know : I'm insane collector too    ;  )  
I don't belong to any category or some veteran group.
The only thin is that I perhaps belong to a generation that were lucky to grow up with  Silver Fang / Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin when it came out on vhs tape (rent vhs tape) , Outside Japan.
That is the only thing I can think of if you most put me in a box ? or in a category.
And yes perhaps I'm older then others.
 
Not I don't think fandom of Ginga have any line how old you shall be or how long you have been a fan.
That just silly, really.


But aswell there can be a differences with discuss and perhaps argue.
It's so easy to criticize, judge and misunderstand others.
Therefore this is so important to take up , talk about. 
And perhaps find a ground to make a different, together. 

Sure in some or many community the atmosphere can be good, but also bad.
And in some cases really bad.

That is why I left many forums, board . 
Especially some owners, admin, mod don't want to know about things that connect to bullying, harassment
Even worse if you are ignore, or bullied.
That hard to handle or know to handle.  

Sometime the passion and the argue can over the line and when you have the emotions, the temper rinsing even that best (I guess) can do mistakes.
But then what ?
Can this be sorter out or shall the be so often more others that follow and keep on going to offensive and give insult . The respect for others can flow away

Image From; Injured workers support.org.au

Where shall we draw line about harassment and bullying ?
Can we draw a line or even stop rumor spread ?

Do we even want somekind of  protection, security against bulling?

Many times I wonder why or how can some tings be so allowed, permissible at the different community. 

Can it be that people today shall tolerate more ?
And don't take things so serious .
But what happen when a small argument, dispute , there there are people who misunderstanding each other . And we all know that situation like this can grow larger.
So in worse case there are bulling, harassment and rumors flowing around .

Hurtful world, being frozen out, and people making sure that you hear, know that you are not welcome here.  There are other people that ganging up to others  .

All like you were back ( like in my-case) in school.
 
The hardest part. isn't the bulling, the harassment itself.
Not so much like that fact that other know what going on and don't want to be bother about it.
Like teacher.
On site :US : University of Sussex there a great information text about :
FAQ about Harassment and bullying
What is the difference between harassment and bullying?I think this is really interesting to read about and reflect.For on the Internet there are sometime like the wild west.There you can do what ever you want and say what you want. 
Without consequences.



The problem, issue I have been having here on the blog is ; comment , mean , attacking comment . I guess some have some issue and take what I can write/writing personal. 
Or they have a boring day
I have non idea 
But before the comment can be post I need to authorize, approve. Just to avoid that , with seem to be personal insults. And not forgetting spam. 
Sad but the true.

Anyway, back to topic. 
In the Internet world most of the board, forum have Admin , so called; administrator or administration.

 Quote from; Wiktionary: on Admin

Admin (admins) 
A person who has specific controls to a forum/website/etc. that allows them to control the forum/board website/etc.
The admin changed the forum settings to make more users happier.

Most of the community of forum, boards have them and also mod/mods, moderate that shall help to a working nice environment for us users . 
So there can be discussion,conversations with others users.

The problem, issue is that this can be hard to oversee if you are a Admin or Mod.
Especially to not take sides .
There can be times that even the mod or admin jumping in and follow the flow with bulling or harassment. And ho to prove it to the support forum/board is hard.
And I guess some haven't even hard to look at the harassment and bullying like going on at a board, forum.

I just want to say ;
" Just don't
Don't treat people like numbers or things. There are people too
Fans are equal .
Don't put them in a category and don't say some are more valuable then others .
Just don't .......  please"

And Don't follow the others , think for yourself. 
Somethings there is people who need drama, some that need to take out negative from themselves and blame of someone els.
 
As the writer, author George R.R. Martin says in the book ; A Game of Thrones

“Some old wounds never truly heal.
And bleed again at the slightest word.”

For to order to change and stop this bulling, harassment we must admit there is a problem, issues here.
Take a stand against those kind of things . 

Other nice and thoughtful quote by  Mother Teresa
 “I alone cannot change the world,
but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”

Here comes updates and some plans

So I have been taking a break , let us say a Long vacation from bloging.
I had a lots of computer problem for a time and aswell problem with the scanner .
And I'm not a experts on those thing's .
So at same time I just taken easy from thing as well the collecting front  
But also I needed a break, new job,work took up and still take up a bit of mine time.

So I'm not dead , at lest not the blog ^^
I will be back, I hope soon  with Ginga, collection updates

Other blog upcoming thing
I working to update my collection site : My Bravestarr
I have got some questions about that site .
First ; Yes
I'm My Prue have created both of  the blog and the collection site  and they are connected .
I created first the collection site, just to keep a track on mine collection .
As you know I have a large collection, just the many manga of Yoshihiro Takahashi takes up space for mine bookshelves, bookcase.

And also the site aren't just for only ginga , Yoshihiro Takahashi related items.
I guess I have been or still are a bit of a guinea-pig, that collect many things.

I are planning to do a big update on my collection in November, December this year.
I feel that I need do do that , so I can keep more track on the items.

A mail came to me with some question, matter about to be a Ginga collector .
So I were thinking to answer that ans give my thought and advice in upcoming blog
I just feel this is imported to give advice and suggestion as a older , perhaps veteran collector ;  )


Bullying  and harassment over the internet
What you perhaps wondering,how did this subject came up with collector of Ginga or Mr Takahashi ?
Well it's mostly with all fanbase , if that are anime series, manga or so that are common that bulling, frozen out people come up.
And the so callad ginga fanbase, Yoshihiro Takahashi fanbase are not an a exception.
This is from mine own experience as a fan to GNG, Ginga, Yoshihiro Takahashi over that many years I have been active
Most be around the year of 1995 - 1999 (some year around there)   and 2000- until now I guess .
My plan is to list some help site for those who being bullying  . around the world.
If you want to contribute with links , site , fact ; where you can get support and helping site and so one
You are welcome to send me a mail  ^^

This idea were created, and been a project for me since the start of the year.
And Yes I haven't been so active on this . That I need to or hopped

The clube that working activ with anti bulling, support are those three.
Which I'm a member on aswell ;
 
Scarsbybullying.deviantart.com/   

Against bullying.deviantart.com/

Road to Recovery.deviantart.com/

Well there are just three gropes that I mention here now.
But I'm sure that are much more out there

I think that this subject are important to take up.
The attitude against bullying need to change and take more serious then it's does now.

And NO there will not be hang out site, forum, board, persons or community
It's more talking about the bulling subject , my own  opinion, view with the experience.
And a good with to bring some light with link to help site , place were you can get support  if you are bullied or know some one beeing.
Or you perhaps will end bulling that happened in front of you  .
The sad thing that Bulling isn't just in school , it can be in the work place, at home , on the internet and so one.


Alright that a heavy subject
Other then the place I guess the update on mine Ginga , Takahashi collection will take some time. And also to take photos
But I have been planning and will write about those who inspire Yoshihiro Takahashi to create Ginga Nagareboshi Gin.
I thinking about Yukio Togawa with : King Fang
Jack London with : Call of the wild, White Fang 
And others 

Some perhaps know that I'm a big fan to Jack Londons books  and have been since I were very young child.I think the first more grown up book I ever read were; Call of the wild. 

But years back I fallen over Mr Togawa woth on King Fang
I have a small collection of  mangas. books , the anime vhs and others 
I adore a bit Yukio Togawa and Ishikawa Kodansha for that manga they created.
Even that I can't read so much Japanese or understand all just the images are wonderful to follow 

I have been planing for a time to write and ask others : 
How do you keep care of your collections ?

This isn't just for ginga collection, just collection in general .
Were do you keep the books, manga ,the more fragile items  ?
And so one

For I are thinking to do a update on how I keep mine collection.
But also give tips, advise , idea 
Love to hear from other to  ^^

Then the many other story's that aren't Ginga relate
The other work of Yoshihiro Takahashi I hope to blog about to   ^^


Oh my I have so many plans, ideas to work on this blog.
But I need to fix the computer at first ...


By the way if you have idea's or request you can send me a mail, note 
Or just contact me ;

" Mail :  mybravestarr  @ (dot) com
mybravestarr  add the  @
and the hotmail (dot) c o m With out space , naturally
 
Or send me a note on deviantart.com my user-name there is prudance there
Be kind and write what it's about and then we can talk some more " 



Take care ^^

Badges & Keychain

Anttu ask me about a Yamato keychain  that she got from at auction .
Since I have some other Ginga key-chain
See, read more at here blog: Japanin paketti 
The language is in Finnish

Let's see , in April 4, 2012 I uplode some photos on ginga items :
Keychains and Badges from series Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Ginga Densetsu Weed
But even from Ginga Densetsu Weed: Orion (badges, so far I have seen)
You can read more at : My Deviantart_ Some Ginga Merchandise

As I said at deviantart I think the three keychain, badges are charity items for what happed in 11 March , 2011. 
When tsunami hit Japan
Then there are also other badges that I have seen that are different then those on the image
For those who were made just for charity items have text on the image

But for the lets say ordinary badge's have just the text : (C) Yoshihiro Takahashi 
The others have other text on the images
I guess those with text can be from "Yokote Masuda Manga Museum" (the Akita prefecture).

If you look at the different badge's here :

 Then mine badge & and key-chain.
You can see one mine have Japanese text and like the others (C) Yoshihiro Takahashi

Sorry for the bad scan

There are also some are sold at the site : Creation Advance : badge

So on the key-chain then 
On the backside on the keychain it look like this :

And you see the text : PAT.PENS , PEND. PAT
Dependent on how you look


To mine collection I have got two more from ; Urumi    ( A Finnish site )

I'm so happy to have a item with the mad bear Akakabuto
He is for me the biggest, insane, but deadly villain have have seen.
And I guess got to know with Ginga Nagareboshi Gin series  

I really love to see more merchandise, items with Akakabuto and the other bears ^^
As same a other character from a other series that I like; Yamato

So a close up on the Ginga badges & keychain then  ^^

You can also see the fan made badge from my early blog : Silver Fang Dvds
With he Swedish release dvd's in the year 2007, the cover got a new look with the artist  Alice Engström , miss-collie , from Nosebleed studio
Who made the first Weed box design aswell .
I guess that fact were a bonus from me  ;  ) 

I hope to get on hold on Yamato badges and perhaps keychain  ^^
Like lucky  Anttu did
Who knows ^^
