True Tears Anime Review

2010-02-10T13:11:00.000-08:00

Here is an anime that has not gotten the attention I believe it deserves. A romance, comedy and drama, this anime was great, enjoyed it all the way through, the plot really had me going the whole time (and yet again another memorable OP theme). So here is to hoping you will all enjoy it also. The anime of this week is: True Tears.

Shinichiro is a student living in what would be a dream come true for most high school boys, but for him is mostly a frustration. A well liked girl in school named Hiromi has lived in his house for a year along with his family. Her father was a close friend of the family, and when he died they immediately took her in. She is popular and well liked, always smiles, is talented in sports- but Shinichiro knows there must be tears inside her. Having an artistic tendency, he makes watercolours of her and thinks about wishing to ease her tears. Yet he cannot bring up the nerve to talk to her even in his own home. She, too, is quiet and withdrawn in their house, quite unlike at school. Shinichiro is also distracted by teasing from his friend Nobuse for watching Hiromi from afar, a curse of bad luck from a strange girl named Noe, and being forced to perform Muhiga dancing. By helping Noe he hopes to ease his own problems, yet he seems to have difficulty helping himself.

First-ever marriage between man and videogame character in Japan: Nintendo DS "Love Plus" "Sal9000" and Nene Anegasaki, a character in the Nintendo DS dating simulation game "Love Plus."

So...if he breaks the game, is that considered murder?

haha, wonder if he would be pissed if one of his friends said: "Hey, can i try?"

Does that mean I can marry Pyramid Head from Silent Hill??!?!?!?!?!?!! Yessssss!!!! haha

But seriously, let people do whatever they want to. If he wants to marry a videogame character, let him! It's his business. So don't judge.

Pics Of The Day

2009-07-30T12:37:00.000-07:00

OMG, what a wicked cool picture of Kenpachi from Bleach. If you look closely that isArnold Schwartzneiger face. No, Arnold don’t do cosplay. This was actually done with Photoshop. Its very good. 2 Thumbs up!

Halibel serves as the 3rd high-ranking Espada as Ulquiorra serves as the 4th. They are both quiet in nature, preferring to think before they act.

While Ulquiorra's mask can be readily seen, Halibel's mask is covered by her coat and colar. Her mask extends from her nose down to her breasts.

I didn't want to place this cosplay on either of my other 2 blogs because of the amount of skin being exposed. However, Halibel has never been portrayed so accurately, and Ulquiorra rivals the first cosplayer I featured. Excellent job!

sumomo mo momo - Take Me

2009-07-13T18:04:00.000-07:00

sumomo mo momo

I just got finished watching Sumomomo momo. I loved it. It was funny and touching. Here the story. The series centers around a young girl, a strong martial artist, who wants to marry and bear a child with a boy that she believes to be a strong fighter. Momoko is a strange and hyperactive barefoot (but she starts to wear shoes to school after Kōshi buys her a pair) young girl who is also a martial artist in a special form of martial arts that only members of the twelve Zodiac Masters of Japan can learn. She is associated with the dragon of the Chinese zodiac.

Every episode she tries to seduce this guy. Whom they during the course of the anime began living together. Story is around the life of Kōshi Inuzuka, a normal high school student who is aspiring to become a prosecutor after graduating

Rejected again! Kōshi initially wants nothing to do with Momoko or the martial arts war that he has been thrown right in the middle of. He instead focuses even more on his studies so as to keep his mind off of being targeted for assassination. Gradually, he seems to develop a greater appreciation and caring for Momoko.

Oh yes, every man's nightmare?

CLANNAD: The Visual Novel - part II

2009-03-14T23:09:00.000-07:00

I have to salute to Key for this one…

It’s a friggin’ complex routes (@_@) one vital choice wrong and poof~ and You wouldn’t know until further back~ and there’s always different story appearing for almost every single choice. No wonder people said it took 300 hours in average to get the whole scenario~ yeah 300, Three hundred hours!!! It’s not a typo. Now I’m really salute to the translator and people in AOI for making the patch.

But throughout the stories (in exception of the bad ending) the joke, the drama is really touching (the bad ending very irritating, but also felt challenging) and the stories impeccably woven throughout the scenario. Even in the side scenario of Sunohara, I got my eyes wet a bit. I also have settled down the Fujibayashi Ryou route but nothing really dramatic happen on her route, so I’m starting to doubt that that’s the Ryou’s “true” route.

(click for much larger image~)

Voice Patch download status: 55.1% of 1.02 GB (>_<)

I’ll put more spoiler and screen shot ahead, open at your own risk~

And in the middle of Sunohara route, (BTW there’s no such thing yaoi stuff route!!! so put away that wild imagination~! XD ) I got a date with his sister (probably almost fifteen, 3rd year junior high~) btw I’m telling you, I’m not a lolicon XD~ but she is really KAWAIIIII~

Mei cling to him on the “date” arghh~ Kawaiii~

I just a bit curious to try getting the Kyou route, but instead I got Sunohara ending (TT__TT OMG my first good ending route is actually Sunohara’s ROFL) but I don’t really regret it. The small drama about friendship and siblings in this route is not bad at all. As I say previously toward the end it’s really-really dramatic, so much that my eyes got wet a bit. If the scenario continues a few years ahead I definitely get her sister kukuku~ I can still hearin Mei calling “Onii-chan~” XD

Though stupid he’s a good friend, I wonder if there’s a person like that.

And since I felt guilty for playing around with Ryou (to get her older sister), I finished up her route~ dating and stuff~ It’s funny but nothing dramatic really happen (I tought the drama is gonna be the rumor for going out with Kyou) which quite surprising~ the end is only a small kiss scene and that’s it~

All hail kurokami

2009-01-22T17:24:00.000-08:00

The manga comic Kurokami (black god in the us) finally gets an new anime. About damn time if ya ask me. Those who don't know the story here's a bit of back story.

kuro kami is about Keita Ibuki is an independent and struggling freelance computer programmer who, with two of his friends, is developing and trying to sell a video game program to big-time video game companies in Tokyo while trying to stay afloat and survive financially with money being given to him by his 21-year old childhood friend Akane Sano. He had a chance meeting on one night with a high Mototsumitama named Kuro while eating alone at a ramen stand. He gives her his dinner, a bowl of ramen, and tries to protect her when she is attacked in an ambush by an unknown Tera Guardian. Keita loses his entire left arm during the fight between the Tera Guardians, but Kuro was able to save his life by exchanging the amputated arm with her own left arm since she has enhanced healing abilities like all Mototsumitamas. This creates a contract between them, which makes her more powerful than before. However, Kuro warns Keita that they need to be together all the time in order to be at their strongest.

As Kuro stays with Keita and gets acquainted with him while meeting with other Tera Guardians and their human masters, they are targeted by the strongest Tera Guardian clan of the East, the Shishigami (Lion God) Clan in an attempt to kidnap Akane and bring about the destruction of the coexistence balance, which Tera Guardians are supposed to protect. Meanwhile, Keita is determined to find out why his mother had died after seeing her double as a young boy and find out who is responsible for trying to destroying the coexistence balance on Earth.

Now you know what make this anime special.

The anime adaptation of Black God is to be produced by Sunrise, which would be directed by Tsuneo Kobayashi with Reiko Yoshida as the series' supervisor and Hiroyuki Nishimura as the series' animation director and chief character designer.

Among the seiyūs involved in the upcoming Sunrise production include Noriko Shitaya, who will play as Kuro, and Daisuke Namikawa as Kenta.^[11] Other seiyū who had already been announced for the production include Sayaka Ohara as Akane Sano, Yukari Tamura as Excel and George Nakata as Steiner. Its title is called Kurokami: The Animation or Black God: The Animation. The date for the anime to air on Japanese TV is on January 2009. It was announced officially by Bandai Entertainment that Kurokami: The Animation will air first on January 8, 2009 simultaneously in Japan on TV Asahi and in the United States on ImaginAsian, followed by South Korea on January 9, 2009 in AniBOX.

in other words as this air in japanit will simultaneously air in English. I'm excited about that. so i advise everyone to look for this anime.

A storms a brewing!

2008-10-22T21:57:00.000-07:00

People November fourth is the day a storms comes....And ULTIMATE storm three days away from my birthday. A storm of shuriken, scrolls, summons and Ninja clad in orange. That's right Naruto: ultimate ninja Storm hits shelves and the PS3, with the force of an hurricane...Or a rasengan

Character of the day,

2008-10-22T21:29:00.001-07:00

Ok, Naruto has his four tail kyubbi state, and ichigo has his vizard state. Now while both of these are cool and powerful.. They're not enough to make them the favorite of the day. No..today i give props to monkey d. luffyin his one in a life time state..NIGHTMARE.

Here's a rundown:

A form of Luffy that is powered up by one hundred shadows, manifested physically by Moria's Kage Kage no Mi, implanted into him.^[52] With Luffy's strong spirit, he is able to contain one hundred shadows within him when most normal people can only contain two to three. In this form, Luffy is several times bigger than his normal self and his skin completely turns to blue.^[53] He is roughly the same size as Moria and his body is similar to Chopper in the Heavy Point. Luffy also talks differently while in this form.

While in this form, Luffy is capable of using the combined strength of the shadows within him. With this strength, Luffy is even capable of stopping a large giant sized Gomu Gomu no Rifle attack delivered by Oz and of delivering massive attacks onto the zombie behemoth.^[54] Because one of the shadows belonged to a swordsman, Luffy also got the ability of fighting with swords, something he never knew before. This form however can only last for ten minutes. After that, all of the shadows within Luffy will return to their original owners.

Truthfully i don't know why i like Nightmare so much.....it might be the strength..the fact that heactually a bit more bad ass the usual...or that he is blue..but you have to admit he's damn cool.

Tales of the Abyss

2008-10-22T21:07:00.000-07:00

Now if your a fan of The tales games. You'll be happy to know that there has been an anime adaption to the ps2 hit "Tales of the Abyss" (my personal favorite in the series). The anime so far has four episodes. The opening is an lyrical opening to the original opening. I recommend you take it out soon. Now those who do not know of this game...BAD BAD person!

Here a small overview of the plot.

Tales of the Abyss takes place on Auldrant, a planet composed of elementary particles called Fonons (フォニム, Fonimu^?, Fonim in the Japanese version). For much of Auldrant's history, only six fonons were known to exist, representing the elements of Shadow, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire and Light; but eventually a seventh fonon, controlling Sound, is discovered. Its discovery brings great chaos: using this newest Seventh Fonon allows one to read the future. One such Seventh Fonist, Yulia Jue, puts in place a future for the world for thousands of years to come, with the promise of unlimited prosperity at its end. This prophecy of the future's set path becomes known as the "Score" and is documented on "Fonstones" scattered throughout the world. The nations of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear and Malkuth have fought over the fragments of these tablets for generations, each uncovering them and hoping to discover the future before the other. Meanwhile, a holy order emerges dedicated to the reading of the Score and the keeping of the peace. This "Order of Lorelei" is headed by a Fon Master and maintains both religious/political and military branches. Finally, the Score and its promise of prosperity lead to a dangerous complacency within the general population of Auldrant; the slaughter of an entire people living on the island of Hod and the destruction of that landmass are countenanced because it was predicted in the Score.

As the game commences, Luke fon Fabre, the son of Duke Fabre of the Kimlasca Kingdom, is 17 years old. He is the Light of the Sacred Flame who is destined to bring prosperity to Kimlasca. Since being kidnapped seven years ago by the Malkuth Empire, he has been kept confined to the Fabre family mansion. The shock of the kidnapping has erased all of Luke's memories prior to the event. One fateful day, a mysterious woman breaks into the mansion and sets off a chain of events that drag Luke into the center of a massive conflict between those who would do anything to see the Score carried out, and those who would see it broken forever.

Now go watch it ok. Now.
