Winter Lineup 09/10

2010-01-04T15:58:00.000-08:00

Seems like there's a lot of people ranting about the crappiness of this Season Lineup. In a way I agree with their opinion, with the paradigm of anime shifting to panties, oppai, oshiri, and lolis (though I don't mind with the last one), and with the stench of fanservice reeks from miles away, it seems this season is heading to oblivion. But, what's worse is quality animes is somehow overshadowed by these shows and lost its shine. This season is not all craps and more craps, there are some that I thought should be noticed, and that some is . . . . . .(Alphabetically)

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu

The setting is a definite cliche', the concept is not so out-of-the-box, but the humor is something that I actually crave lately. That's what I get from reading the manga, though there'll definitely be a slight difference between its anime and the manga, I'm sure it's not so much that it'll leave me undesired for this series. I also heard the light novel is doing great. So a decent animation is all it needs to be one of the favourite this season.

Dance in The Vampire Bund

The atmosphere of the story really befits SHAFT style, where harsh reality strike with a little hint of naivety, despite the lack of quirkiness in most SHAFT's works, it fills in with the profundity of the story. Then again, maybe I just want to see SHAFT handle more action scenes, and it's good to know that it balance between deep dialogues and action sequences. Lastly, I just hope they'll do something with the character design from the manga a little more, with that done it'll be Perfecto, wait they did.

Durarara!!

Not much to say about this series, except the comeback of what I hope process-over-ending story that is applied in Baccano. Same author and same studio, so you can probably expect the same chic and suspense style of Baccano, which is rare to find nowadays.

Hanamaru Youchien/Hanamaru Kindergarten

HYPER PEDO!!!!!!!!, just kidding though. What needs to be understood from this anime is that it's definitely not another KonoJi, in fact it's nowhere near that, I mean it's kindergarten for God's sake, then again it's Japan. The things that should be appreciated is the gullibility of the story, just imagine Rugrats, if the setting is at school and with a Japanese touch added to it and a pinch of genderbending, and then wala it turns into Hanamaru. Not just that the jokes are actually funny and something to look forward to.

Hidamari Sketch

Hidamari Sketch, have always been my haven out of all the anime I've watched. The story is simply enjoyable to watch, that I don't mind watching it over and over again. That reason maybe due to Akiyuki's influence, which leaves quite a different impression from the 4-koma, and it's really interesting to see Akiyuki's style implementation in other works that are not so gloomy.

Katanagatari

First of all, my favorite author NisiOisiN, and Second the studio that brought us "Tears to Tiara" which actually have exceptional animation, but it falls short on the story aspect, which is quite a shame. Other reason is seeing the peculiar character design put into play. If all the aspects are coming together quite nicely, it'll surely be a hit.

Well that's all my thought this season, sorry for the lack of bedazzle, but please do enjoy.

At last ( T_T)

2010-01-01T18:52:00.000-08:00

Renai Circulation Full Ver. is out. It's about time, while waiting for the long awaited 14th episode my patience have been stripped away piece by piece each seconds T_T. Until I found my salvation.

Listen to it after the link...

and from other OP as well

Sorry if it's late, cause I've been in hiding for a while ~_~;. But there's a possibility that it's only a rearrangement that a fan do o_0.

GE -good ending-

2010-01-01T02:31:00.000-08:00

Another manga you shouldn't miss, basically the story is about a guy chasing a girl, your typical romance manga. But what makes it different is probably how much you can sympathise with the main character. I'm sure a lot of Otaku can relate to his situation and probably go through what he does (except having a bishoujo helping you along the way). Anyway read more for some spoilers.

Ironically man-tearing (T_T)

This is the first time I actually see this kind of thing in mangas(doujin and eroge adaptation not included). It's rare to see these situation, where the main chara feelings is actually stomped upon because of another guy. So this is a really fresh situation even in romance mangas, cause romance is the synonym of harem in an Otaku's dictionary, and for the girl the main chara is chasing to have another feeling for another guy before she is completely rejected or the main chara is completely taken(married) is somewhat a taboo and could be said a repulsive thing to do. If you have any boredom in the usual harem situation you should read this manga to refresh your harem heart.

NisiOisiN

2009-12-24T10:23:00.000-08:00

I've been impressed with NisiOisiN's works lately from light novel ("Zaregoto", and "Bakemono" series), to manga(author of "Medaka Box"),and to anime(author of "Bakemonogatari", and the coming soon "Katanagatari"). His story is refreshing, despite the similarities between other works, but to be more precise it's his delivery that makes him standout amongst other author.

I really enjoy the large array of character he portray in his works, especially the certain quirkiness each character possess. You could notice his tendency of making a main character with a great sense of uselessness. Alhough it mostly happen in almost every shonen story in japan, Nisio's main character forte are saved till the very end making you gripe in anticipation till the most critical moment of the story, and sometimes you didn't even realize that they have the potential to do those things. Nisio's tendency of naming his characters should be noted as well, cause even characters that only appear on 2 pages only was given a name, or maybe he just like giving quirky names.

It's really enjoyable to see Nisin's characters facing all kinds of drama that really tickle my fancy. In addition, the quirkiness of the characters are added to the whole chemistry which makes, a plain monologue into something quite intriguing. His works are a shame to be missed, if you have the time you should read, or watch some of his works, then maybe you'll see a glimpse as to why he is one of my favorite author.

Happy Birthday!!!

2009-09-20T23:53:00.000-07:00

Today is my birthday, and it turns out to be not that bad. The best I have so far actually. Though there is still something missing it is not that bad. I should entertain you guys, but laziness have always been my nature. Anyway thanks for reading it. And here's a little nothing.

My PC is fried, literally

2009-09-05T02:10:00.000-07:00

I was in the middle of playing sauerbraten when suddenly my PC went poof, and a smell of something fried coming out of the power supply. The problem is all my materials for the blog is in that PC. I have some great news though.

By the end of this month I'll get a notebook which means I will start to actively posting again. But the weird thing is I can't access blogger from my college hotspot. You don't need to worry, cause I know a way around it. And here is a reward for listening to my pointless rant which actually getting annoyingly more often these days.

I thought a college themed video would be good, cause I'm in college or anything nevermind. Hope you enjoyed it.

Possible Hiatus

2009-08-29T06:45:00.000-07:00

Sorry that I've been posting nothing this week. I'm entering college this week, and I still have no notebook to access the hotspot at my campus. So to everyone who visit the blog while I was away about 50 people I think, and I have 409 visitor as of today. Which is quite impressive. If I average it out, it's about 15 view per posts. And I have to say I'm really proud of this since it's still at an early age. Thanks to all who see and comments this blog, and don't worry the blog will officially in full prime in 2 months max.

But I'll still post at least one every week, cause that's the time I'll come back home. The 2 post per day post will most probably stop for a while.

And follow my twitter or follow the RSS, so you'll know when I update my blog.

That's it for now, and again thanks a bunch for the support.

Male ver. of "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari"

2009-08-21T03:33:00.000-07:00

There's another popular song that have been male-fied and it's "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari". Don't know how to react to this, but it's bound to happen. Watch it after the link.

Do anyone else feel the difference in arrangement, or maybe I'm imagining things. The male vocal could be better. I just wish it would be more melodic, the voice that is. Please do comment if you have the time.

stop /mot/ time

2009-08-21T00:36:00.001-07:00

Watch it at least until 1:58 and you'll know what I mean which will probably means nothing. Anyway I'm here to bring you another batch of /mot/ and here it is.

The last one is my creation just so you know. Please do comments if you have the time, and sorry if you've seen most of them.

The blog just went Pooh

2009-08-19T09:49:00.000-07:00

Oh noes whatever should I do

Can't believe my blog just went like that. I even change the template because of that. And after I did various thing, I found out it was because one of my post. What a pain, though I find a better template in my opinion. So everything is good, and for listening to my rants here's a PV of "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" by supercell feat. nagi.

Thanks again for reading the whole thing, if there was someone reading it.

Finally moving on...

2009-08-19T08:06:00.000-07:00

Goodbye Ranka, never would have I imagined that there was a day that I found something more wonderful than DECULTURE!. And that day is when I heard the ED of Bakemonogatari...

Wait that's not the real reason it's because...

I heard the full version of it O_O!!!

Just a little fact the vocalist in this song is not from supercell. Actually supercell don't have any vocalist the singer is actually nagi she is famous for her many covers on Nico Nico Douga. And supercell is actually a one man band(if I'm not wrong), the person who did everything except the singing in Kimi no is actually a person called ryo he is famous for Melt and The World is Mine. Supercell just sign a deal with major label which resulted in the culmination of Kimi no. Let's just hope nagi will continue work with supercell cause I love her voice >_<. And here is some of supercell old works.

Canaan 07: Holy ****

2009-08-19T01:25:00.000-07:00

I don't have much to comment on this episode, but there was a magic trick that happen in this episode. And that magic trick just makes this episode to have a dear place in my stomach.

Now you see it...

OMGWTFBBQ, where the **** did the dove go?!?!?!?!?

It's so amazing, they even use the word "holy". Best trick I've seen so far even my mind is baffled by it. I mean how the heck did they do that O_O?! But there is one event that almost leave me as confused as this one, and that is....

wait for it...

lost for words

That's a wrap people, just remember kids don't ever think of skipping grades.

Something to waste time on

2009-08-17T04:58:00.000-07:00

or not XP

Sorry there isn't any updates lately, been dealing with sickness and desktop set up not that anyone care but I'm going to give you some mots for you to look upon. Hope you'll enjoy it

A wise word indeed

This just simply crack me up

kyonkun denwa, a must see

2009-08-05T12:47:00.000-07:00

You really have to see this video, there's a surprise in it, be sure to watch every single second of it cause if not you'll definitely miss it.

The first one might not really have a big surprise but this second one definitely have it, I mean why would I post two videos with the same purpose.

Goodbye Haruhi, Hellooo Yuki <3

2009-08-05T10:54:00.000-07:00

*hiks hiks, one of my dreams have come true

Am I the only one happy about this? I've been way too familiar with Haruhi-ism, and I can't seem to be so much in love with it. But I'm definitely crazy about Nagato-ism (*ehm ehm lolicon >_>). Could this be the answer to my frustration against the lack of loliconness available in TMoHS, or just simply my miniscule ray of hope in liking TMoHS again. To be frank it is both, I know there isn't much character without bust (TWO!!! excluding the male gender) in TMoHS, but when you put Yuki as a main character at least that frustration have been supressed by it. And to sweeten everything up is the expression of Yuki that you have been dying to see in the TMoHS series, even though it's kinda awkward. But then when everything is going supremely well....

*dun dun dunnn Noooooouuuuuuwwww

OK, WT* is that? Maybe I'm a little over the top, but this just -_- me. Can't it just go like the way that I want it to be. Whyy Whyyy Whyyyy, please tell me why!? While I recover from my trauma you can enjoy this trivia.....

who's that pokemon... I mean girl

And here's something to visualize my feeling

Anime /mot/ Forum

2009-08-03T01:01:00.000-07:00

can't help it XD

I've been busy lately checking out the Anime mot forum at CrunchyRoll, it updates pretty fast and my progress now is still on the 2008 part (T_T) and that's on the 200th something pages. The one I'm checking right now is actually the 2nd Anime mot forum, the first one was banned because of the over PG-13 content that they have posted there, and they ban it at the 1716th pages. And now the members are trying hard to achieve their previous glory, which I'm actually quite amazed by their efforts. So if you think about it or when I think about it, this forum is actually 4chan before puberty so LULz will most probably ensues, and things aren't as hectic as 4chan so you can relax. I'll post some that I've saved lateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer on (when I feel like it XP). And here is a mot to remember what are they trying to achieve again.

Ironic, indeed '~'

Naruto 458

2009-07-31T11:28:00.000-07:00

geez, at last '3'

I don't really like naruto all that much, but I think of it as obligatory reading since this is one of those manga that my friends are actually interested in. Though I have to admit it's been quite interesting (hinata confessing) and things actually go full throttle right now. But all that have been revealed until now is not a surprise, except for the fact that danzo have a sharingan. Might as well make Naruto have it

and everything just seem so emo

do what o_0?

Must Read O_O

2009-02-14T15:34:00.000-08:00

I want to recommend this manga, to those who haven't read it yet I advise you to read it! This manga is really funny ^0^, and don't let the cover fool you o_0.
The summary is: The story is of Kitano Seiichirou, a very kind and pure-hearted young man, with a horrifying, monstrous face. People being what they are, they think he's a terrifying delinquent, and there are plenty of chance misunderstandings (coupled with Kitano's convenient inability to understand what's happening around him) that propel him into the position of "school guardian", a.k.a. head thug on campus. (from Onemanga)

I promise you'll hurt your stomach when you read this.

To be frank I don't really exactly know what to say (^ ^;). Anyway, I should introduce myself. I'm Bimo Horizon, 17, and living at indonesia. And this blog will mostly probably about anime, manga, tokusatsu, OS, and such. So to those who are ICKY to these things shouldn't be in that much interest in my blog.
Oh yeah, the picture up there is my desktop since I don't have any other thing to show right now, but please look forward to my blog _(._.)_
