Links for Everything

Being glued to the computer screen about 80% of the time that I'm up, I tend to do a lot of surfing and run into many great sites. I know a lot of people don't have as much time to surf as I do, so allow me to save you sometime by giving you some of the best sites to visit for anime and some other things. : )

This list will be updated as time goes on, so check back often for more updated links. Since I visit these websites often, I usually know if one is broken, but if I don't catch it for a long time, please e-mail me at postmaster(@)abellefeuille.com

• General
  1. Fanfiction.net
     If you want to read fanfiction for anything (movies, books, anime/manga), then go here. They've expanded quite a bit since I first joined in 2001. There are now C2 communities and forms. My username here is Cutie Blossom. Stop by and say hello!
  2. MediaMiner.org
     Another fanfic site that also has a fanart gallery. This is just like FF.net in many ways, but then again it's also different in many ways. I like how FF.net is set up better, but FF.net also has a lot of rules where MM.org doesn't. However, with little rules comes a lot of sloppy authors along with a lot of idiots. So there is pros and cons to both!
• Video Games
  1. Kingdom Hearts Ultimania
     A great Kingdom Hearts site that has all of the latest news on the series! There is also plenty of pictures, videos, and much, much more! This site gets crazy right before a new KH comes out! Makes waiting for the game even more exciting! :D
  2. KH-Vids.net
     For players of Kingdom Hearts, you'll love this site! It has almost every single video for every game of Kingdom Hearts!! They even have some from Chain of Memories! Personally, I save up too many files so I can go back and watch the videos, but thanks to this site, I won't have to as much!
• xxxHolic
  1. Room of Requirement
     This site provides the most recent chapters of xxxHolic and Tsubasa! They are all untranslated, but for xxxHolic, they do provide a script! They are pretty good on uploading up the chapters on the day they are released. Also, if you go to Chibi Yuuto's live journal (link is on the credits section of the page), she provides a lot of great news about what's going on in CLAMP world!
  2. KIMIHIRO.net
     This is a pretty good site for information on the series. If you are a newbie to xxxHolic and wanna know more about it, go here! There, you'll find character summaries, media information, and much more! You can even change the layout of the site! (Click on 'Change Skin' located above the content area).
  3. xxxENTRIC
     A fanfiction site soley devoted to xxxHolic. Most of the stories are Watanuki/Doumeki, but there is a good chunk that are not. There is a lot of good stories on this site. The purple layout with the small black lettering tends to give me a headache, but if you just enlarge the font, that should help you a bit!
  4. eXeXeX HOLIC Manga
     This is a MSN group that translate the xxxHolic manga. They do a fairly good job keeping up with the most current chapter. They are doing a LOT better in quality now than when they first started. The site is set up like a viewing gallery so you can't download the latest chapter, but hey, at least they are translated!
• Naruto
  1. Naruto Styles
     This is a French site. If you are not good at guessing, then this site might be a tad bit hard to navigate through. This site is an awesome site though! There is a LOT of media to download including FULL openings and endings!
  2. NarutoFan
     This site is chalked full of the latest info on Naruto! If you have an account with them, you can also download a lot of other things like songs, episodes, movies, etc!
  3. ImageShack - Naruto x Sakura Blog
     If you didn't see from the title, this is a Naruto x Sakura Photo Blog. If you are a hardcore Sasuke x Sakura fan or whatever, I wouldn't even bother clicking on the link! That's right! I'm a Naruto x Sakura fan! I don't even know how I came across this site, but I love visiting it often! It's updated quite a bit. Use caution though! This site has got to have over 300 images on it and even with DSL, it takes quite a bit of time to upload!
• Torrent and Download Sites
  1. Tokyo Toshokan
     One of the Largest BitTorrent Library Sites. Go here for anime episodes (subbed, dubbed, and raw), j-pop, music videos, as well as many other kinds of things.
  2. Ochibichan
     I just recently have discovered this site. You have to register, but once you do, you'll have access to a LOT of manga downloads. Go here to find rare finds like Beauty Pop, Vampire Knights, and Ouran High School Host Club. The people there are pretty nice, too! : )
  3. MangaTemple.com
     This is another manga downloading site! There's a LOT of manga to download to! You'll be amazed!
  4. Kaizoku Fansubs
     Any One Piece fan has GOTTA know this site. This is a site strictly for One Piece downloads. They mostly do episodes, but there is sometimes music and movies to download as well!
  5. Kaizou Fansubs
     Don't get these guys mixed up with the ones above. These guys deal with mostly Detective Conan! They are a relatively new group, but so far, they are doing a good job. They don't release the episodes in normal format. They release them in arcs so they tend to jump around, but if you ask me, I like this better so you don't have to wait 50 episodes to find out if a certain character's with the Black Organization or not! They also release movies! They are pretty good at releasing often and when they do, it's usually two or three episodes at a time so you get plenty to watch until the next release! ^^
  6. KazeNoKoeFansubs
     This is another fansub group that also does Detective Conan. They release all the episodes in order so there is no jumping around. The only problem with this group is that they are doing many different series so sometimes it takes them awhile to release a Conan episode.
  7. Be With You Scans
     Personally speaking, BWY does the best job translating manga. Here, you can find translated xxxHolic, Tsubasa, and a couple other series. They aren't up to date with the newest chapter, but they are well worth the wait!!
