Semi-update

It is been awhile ever since I last entered my own blog.. and this update will be pretty short..and sweet. :D

I have been on an attachment as part as the school curriculum, the incoming week will be the last week for me, then I will go back to school. I have also recently joined a fansub group as a Chinese-English translator for anime. Looks like things are going to get busy. Kesenai-Fansubs. :)

Will post more next time, cannot think of anything to post right now.

I'm glad

Well, I'm so glad that I can finally stop taking my medicine and see how my condition goes. Still busy with work..=/ Until then.

*Yes,I'm suffering from a condition called epilepsy, when it happens, it is said to be scary*

Busy busy

As mentioned in title, as well as a tad lazy. Working is really horrible in one way or another, isn't it. Just want to share a drawing done by one of my friend for me quite some time back.

Star Ocean : Second Evolution

It's been like around a week since I have NEARLY finished this game with bare minimum equipments and levels. All right, with all that being said, I will like to talk about how I came across it and literally enjoyed it.

I was wondering in gamespot.com around January for some PSP games to pick up and stumbled upon the countdown time...for this game. Thought it might be interesting and waited until it came out and yeah, grabbed it. The story goes about how the main hero, Claude, gets involved in a bizzare incident where he finds himself on an entirely unknown planet(to him). Over there, he saves the main heroine, Rena, from a savage beast and the story develops, where he is thought to be the "Hero of Light" destinated to cleanse this planet known as Expel from the nefarious meteorite known to them as "Sorcery Globe".

The parts I like most are the opening song which is performed by SCANDAL - Start, and the various beautifully animated cutscenes for the game(although the subtitles were uncalled for since the dialogues were in English already) The English voiceovers were OKAY as compared to some other games I have heard before, though I think the Japanese ones should be much better. Gameplay and storyline comes after that, and oh, must I mention I am a sucker for those lovely-dovey storylines that comes after the game ends? :P

Sorry for the dust..

Sorry to all that visits my blog often, or at least once in awhile.

It has been a while(again) since I have post a decent length entry. Currently, I am busy with school and constant anime series and manga. To add on, a tad laziness kicks in and blog entries are delayed for a long time. I, too, have been running out of ideas on what to blog about, since I am still rather 'new' to world of blogging.


To end, one swordswoman art I found on the web which I think is very detailed and nicely done. I will do up another blog entry soon..er or later, at least after my exams! (people who see this, could you please leave behind topics in the comments so that I can write about them? Thanks!)

Crazy Shrine Maidens...

It has been at least nearly 2 weeks since I have finished on this series, 'Kannagi', and finally found some time to talk about it.

The series mainly revolves around two characters, Nagi and Mikuriya Jin, where Nagi is a goddess that takes the form of a girl which Jin crafted using part of a fallen sacred tree. A comedy+slight romance based title, I would say this is rather a lighthearted show to watch after a day of hardwork.

Somehow, Jin enters room '301'


"What's this?"(Like DUH?)


Akiba Meguru, you got that right. Since its on the cover.

Guess Jin made Meguru repeat it once too many, and made him mad.

The one with the 'Lucky Star' part is probably because the director for this series was the director for 'Lucky Star' for episode 1-4 and got swapped out. Hence perhaps he wants to show his..'gratitute'?

Red Cliff 2 and..

First of all, I will like to thank the one who picked up my EZ-link card and passed it to the control station when I dropped it this afternoon at Dhoby Ghaut station. (I have a very bad experience with losing ez-link cards/ID cards.)

Well, today, I decided to be naughty and skipped my lessons from 1-3pm. I went ahead to watch Red Cliff 2 at Cathay with two of my other friends. As an epic/war-movie lover, I will certainly NOT miss out on this movie(since I have watched part one). As expected from director John Woo, action is plentiful, effects are of massive(but a little fake as one of my friends has pointed out).

On the anime note.. I have watched at least..1month and 2weeks worth of animes. So if you count as 1 anime episode as at least 20~25 minutes, imagine the number of series I have completed. On the other hand...



That's it..for now.

Compare and comparison

Well, some people told me that both pictures are actually Lelouch.

However, if you're telling me that too, you're absolutely wrong..! The one on the right is certainly Lelouch(with his usual black cape and white..scarf?). The one on the left is actually a character from Special A, a supporting character, Ogata Aoi.

Interestingly, this character is the supporting character for Lelouch's VA( in S.A, who is Takishima Kei). In other words, Ogata Aoi supports Takishima Kei(Fukuyama Jun, Lelouch's VA)

Uncanny resemblance isn't it? Or has Japanese people ran out of styles of draw of..? Maybe the former.

PS: Hi George, if you happen to see this, please refer to the previous post's comment.

Countdown!

Time seems to pass fast, perhaps a little too fast. Today is the last day of the year 2008 (yeah,I know it is kind of obvious), but nevertheless, many things had happened within this year, be it happy or sad stuff. Live life to the fullest, regretting the past is futile. So here we say...

Hello 2009! Goodbye 2008!

Picture above has little to no relations to the topic. If you can find the relation, you must be a genius, or one who thinks too much.

What a Christmas..

Belated Merry Christmas to all, whoever is out there reading my blog.



It's kinda late and.. well, Merry Christmas..!

'Holydays' are here!

Vacations are here! And one week has passed already!

So far I have been on a gaming + anime marathon for the very week. Let me recall the following anime series that I have watched this week..


1.Strawberry Panic
This anime.. has no GUYS in it, I mean it. All-girl-anime, not a single male. I pretty much guess yuri-lovers will like it. Girlxgirl actions too. 26 episodes of pure girl love.


2.Ginban Kaleidoscope
How will life be if you're being possessed by a Canadian ghost? Watch this to find out! Full of awkwardness for the both the poor ghost and Tazusa when she does something the ghost doesn't want to see(hint hint...no hentai though. :P) It focuses on Tazusa's ice-skating representation of the country and her daily life as well. 12 episodes of fun.



3.Yotsunoha (2episodes OVA)
A simple OVA which depicts life of 4 friends when they have lost contact with each other for years, to unite again as like they promised before the transfer of school for each and every one of them.


4.Special A
3 more episodes to finish the series, so I'll leave it as it is.
*edit*
Interesting anime, with famous amos(yummy) I mean famous seiyuu like Fukuyama Jun(All Hail Lelouch) and Goto Yuko(everyone's favourite, Asahina Mikuru). I like Fukuyama Jun's VA, it is VERY entertaining and I mean it. However, this anime is directed at..er.. females.. haha.

Haven't found the motivation to write up on the AFA, guess I'll drop it. harhar. *edit* I WILL drop it. :P

Firefox?

One of the last thing I will ever want to hear is..

"What's Mozilla Firefox?"

With that being said, I shall now cast away all IE-fan(or Firefox haters) from this place of mine.

Long before I started using Firefox, IE was only available to me(or rather,known to me). It crashed, it closed, it does all sorts of things. It was never stable, nor provided good RAM management as it lagggggs the hell out of me. Until God knows when, I stumbled upon Firefox! That was when my computer saw a glimmer of light. With download-able plug-ins, it ran as intended. But be forewarned, too many plug-ins may cause this fox to be fat and not run as fast as before.

Here's some love for Firefox.

PS: Studying too much cranks me up, needa blog(?) to de-stress.(Okay, more like the need to add more post to my blog, lol)

Examination week!

This week is the starting of the tests! I will update my blog as soon as possible after my tests are over. Oh, and about the recent AFA2008.

PS:I enjoy playing Valkyria Chronicles.

'Games' Day

Well, today I am going to write about 2 PS3 games I am looking forward to this month.





First up, we have...

Blazblue(PS3) - A 2D, arcade fighting style game

The story's rather cliche(one man against all), but otherwise nevermind. Graphics are literally up to standard(Guilty-gear makers, ya know).The guys are great,(Sol and Ky....just kidding) Ragna-Lover has also talked about the game. The girls are even better! Okay, back to the game. There are some gameplay videos, which really shows it is a game to be looking forward to. Beautifully done art, sound quality to add on.

Here's a trailer :



Valkyria Chronicles(PS3) - A tactical strategy game, with a touch of 3rd-person.

Another 'rather' cliche storyline(3 sides, a FFA war), but yet again nevermind. Graphics are made with SEGA's CANVAS graphics engine, which made it look like watercoloured animation. As a fan of such strategy games, I love deploying troops and play turn-based style(Yggdra Union,anyone?). This game also has 3rd-person shooter(or in other words, 'Target-Mode') added in. A bold move by SEGA, with their never-seen graphics renderer or should I say, unique? The game engine which uses BLiTZ(Battle of Live in Tactical Zone), which I would say, fascinating.

Lookie :




So..er...yeah..

New Look,new start

Hello all!

I have finally decided to start blogging again and gave it a new 'look'. Hope you all like it. It's kind of late now, so I'll end my post here, for now.

Renewal?

Ah well, perhaps its time to CLEAN this blog of mine..?

Might start writing again, if time permits.
