Through the eyes of an Otaku

Katawa Shoujo

2012-02-03T16:47:00.000-08:00

Since I watched a few episodes of "Welcome to the NHK" and "The World God Only Knows" and a few others, I have to say that I'm quite interested in japanese video games, specially galge games or bishojo games, visual novels, and eroge.

A galge or bishoujo games are sub-genre of dating sims, where you as the main character interacts with a single to multiple of anime-style girls.

Visual novels are
"consists of text over an anime-style background image and is accompanied by background music. Throughout the game, the player usually has to answer a few questions which will have an effect on the story, thus playing a visual novel a second time while giving the other answers may result in an entirely different plot." (vndb.org).

Eroge are like galge games but has adult or erotic content.

Katawa Shoujo developed by 4 Leaf Studios and is by far the best visual novel/eroge I've ever played. This game has some great story arcs and very interesting heroines. You have the choice to disable adult content in the "options."
It can get boring with the long detailed texts time to time but you can withstand it, don't worry you can just click a couple of times to move to the next dialogue or the main character's thoughts.

It starts of with a guy name Hisao (high school student) and he had an heart attack when he being confessed by a girl he likes, in the winter and was hospitalized for four months and discovered his dormant heart condition so he have to go to a disability school which is like any ordinary school but with both normal and physically disabled students, of course he was sadden and shock but he had changed his perceptions of his new school and met great people.

And the story begins by meeting the disability girls and depending on Act 1, you will end up one of their routes.

I have one scene left to get 100 PERCENT, GRRR.............

But overall the game is very good, I myself feel sympathized on few scenes and give a tear or two.

Give it a try if interested or have a chance.

Sopa and Pipa + we're screwed

As most individuals may know about these bills, they are "to make harder for especially sites outside of the U.S to distribute or sell pirated copyrighted material such as movies and music as well as physical goods such as counterfeit purses and watches,"(Larry Magid)

Through my knowledge that in my business view, companies are losing money because their products are sold or distributed by other people without consent or a piece of the profits and some sites sell counterfeit products.

But in my views as an good abiding citizen, that these bills are unlawful to our rights and internet use.

Okay to be honest I'm not too well informed or educating myself of the depth of the issue but just the surface and I'm on the computer all the time.

Then the biggest impact was when I saw Wikipedia on protest and Google had a black box covering its logo, for a day or so.

I was like wow and I gotta contact the congress to not pass the bills, but I didn't, didn't know what to say or write. I'm just a little man (metaphorically, I'm not short).

But I read that their servers were crashed with so many calls or e-mails, so many people contacted them. The way they try to speak out against the bills was admirable.

I guess the SOPA and PIPA will be delayed for now but sooner or later it is gonna be passed (maybe), Congress and the President is always passing these bills restricting our rights bit by bit with those small prints that no one notice before signing it, I still don't like the way TSA operates and how they use those scanners to take a snap-shot of our bodies, NAKED. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to issue that everybody need to implant a transmitting chip into our arms but I might go on a riot or go mad.

So, everyone keep on fighting and be always informed and self-educate yourself and be careful, the SWAT team might come to your house and arrest you with no apparent reason, really it those happens.

Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai - emotional

2012-01-11T20:24:00.000-08:00

I left this anime after watching episode 2 or 3 of it during the spring or summer of 2011.
Then I came back and finished it today, it was 11 episodes in total.
I think there have been a few drama-like, sad, teary anime here and there like "Clannad" and "Kanon."
This is one of them.
First off the bat from the first episode, I expected to have some sort of sad parts and climatic parts but I don't know why I stop last year, probably there were other anime to watch.
I'm one of those people who can't stand watching scenes that when the characters that is being humiliated severely, tortured or anything of that nature but sometimes I pause it, walk around a bit and then go back and play it and be prepared and overtime I'll get over it.

Dang, I'll become real teary eyed at last few episodes, wow...
It's really something, it is nice to watch a tear-jerker anime time to time and get that out of your system.

Kill Me Baby / Nisemonogatari Ep.1 Impression

2012-01-07T17:46:00.000-08:00

After going out to eat with my sisters in the afternoon and then the mall , when I got decided to watch "Nisemonogatari" which I been waiting for and "Kill Me Baby."

There been a few new anime coming out early in the January, but let's talk about these two.

Nisemonogatari

At the beginning of the episode it started out Koyomi being handcuffed in a building that Senjougahara is reposible for it and then they both have their usual conversations of antics.
Then the show takes to the day before he got captured where at home his friend Hanekawa was too busy to tutor him so Koyomi decided to visit Sengoku and try to get his sister Tsukihi to tag along but no good.
So on the way to Sengoku's house he met Hachikuji and spent some time with her and tell her about his problems. Then they depart and end scene.

The first episode was like an introduction to the characters and I really enjoy it, so what will happen next?
Can't wait for more.

Kill Me Baby

"Kill Me Baby" has an interesting story, so here's the summary :

Kill Me Baby follows the comedic life of a typical school girl Yasuna and her assassin classmate Sonya. Sonya's attempt to fit in often fails when her natural assassin instincts kick in and Yasuna's attempt to be more friendly with Sonya often gets her hurt or intimidated.

When I watch this it had a similar feel from the anime (in my opinion) "Mitsudomoe" it had some sort of art likeness and the the characters looks like young girls instead of high school kids and watching the characters everyday life similar to "Lucky Star" in one way or another.
It is funny and amusing, I be waiting for more.

Recorder To Randoseru Ep.1 Impression

2012-01-07T10:38:00.000-08:00

So, "Recorder To Randoseru" had released as an anime on Jan.6 2012 , the story is unique but I should expect hilarious situations.

Summary:

The story revolves around Miyagawa Atsushi and his sister Miyagawa Atsumi. Atsushi looks like an adult at 180 centimeters (about 71 inches) tall, but he is actually an elementary school boy. Atsumi looks like a little girl at 137 centimeters (54 inches) tall, but she is actually in high school.

I was surprised when I started watching it, that it is a 3 minutes episodes, so I guess that wouldn't be much of a story but funny stuff.

At the beginning Atsushi is starting to practice his recorder and his 5th grade music sheets and two girls are observing from the distance because they thought he was handsome or something but he played it so badly that the girls ran away. At that time Atsushi is very concerned with his recorder playing because he has a big music test on it. Then after that scene back at home I assume, Atsumi (his older sister) dress him up because it was cold and they went on their way to school. They departed and Atsushi met one of his classmates and stuff happens and their is a sign says something LIKE "Child Molester Beware" or something. There is a woman who thought Atsushi is a molester than call the cops and he got arrested and then end scene.

I will say the ending is kinda funny but I somewhat feel bad for him that he looks like an older adult but he is actually a 5th grader. I wonder how he gonna get out of this one?

It was short but interesting.
Give it a watch, it is only a few minutes.

Code Geass R2 - C.C by Banpresto

2012-01-05T18:41:00.000-08:00

I been waiting for this day to come ever since I order it, which was last week.
Right after school I felt the tension and been waiting and waiting and waiting......
I check the window almost every moment to check if the UPS truck came by but....
Then night fell upon the sky. (Winter = less day light)
It is almost 6:00 pm and while my hope seems blink, I check the tracking on my package and it says...
Left At:
Pouch

I was like "WHAT!!!" I rush to my front door, ignoring the cold climate and there it is, the box.
The box, I'm been waiting for and I went get back to my room, where my dad was relaxing on my bed watching the military channel showing a show about WWII, that channel shows a lot topics about WWII.

I cut open my box and there it is C.C from Code Geass, a lot larger than my other figures.
But the box was in a less than average condition and there is discoloration on the hair of the figure.
I saw an unknown spot, but at the end I was satisfied, it has been 4 years since it was release and anything could happen in 4 years but the description of the product on the site is soooo false.

For now I want to preserve it.

Sorry for my poor photography, I have no skills with today's cameras, I'll work on it.

Again, even it is not in the best condition, it is alive and still existing. Did that sound right ?

So, I planning to put posts of AMV (Anime Music Videos) and MultiAnime Openings time to time and hope you enjoy it,

if you want to suggest an AMV or MultiAnime Opening please leave the title and URL of the video into the comment box and publish it.

Till again next time.

"Good Grief"

2012-01-04T14:35:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is the day I will get my figure but today was troublsome.

I had done a new template yesterday for my blog then today was crazy, if I have ever change anything on my blog like changing the layout or change the width, I would have to change everything.
I couldn't get to my post the way I wanted to, my experience on "blogger" is that when you create a post, it turns out very differently when you view on your blog. I constantly have to push some words or sentences around, make my images a bit smaller, readjust the width, and preveiw it every single change if I get it right Grr...........

but it turn out okay, I hope so....
I might've exergerated a bit, so what's done is done.

Well, that's that.
Do you have a problem like this when you write something or create something but did not turn exactly what you wanted to ?

Dec. 24 2011 order

2012-01-03T18:22:00.000-08:00

YAY!!!!

It has arrived today,

I been reading a few blogs and posts and some related to what the writer or blogger recently own or gotten like their figure came through the mail or what they purchased from conventions. So, I decided to do one myself.

I have made a lot of purchases before and may or may not show them individually but maybe soon I give a snapshot of my collection.

What came through the mail today is my....

- Comptique 12 December 2011 ($20.80)

- High School of the Dead - Rei Keychain ($4.00)

that I order from Akadot.com , I had made some orders from there and they do not disappoint me.

They have some nice import magazines and other goodies.

Also, this came with the magazine

It is a special reversible pillow cover of Inui Sana of "Mashiro Symphony" there is another part behind it, I didn't show it because I thought it might be indecent to young viewers or readers but if you can see it clearly on the photo of the magazine cover on the top, there is the other part close to this view of the cover I photographed.

The cover seems smaller than the pillow I'm sleeping with, don't get the wrong idea, it is just a normal average pillow.

Now I'm waiting for a figure that I order from amazon.com, it was the last one in stock and it seems very rare and she is from one of my favorite anime, which I will tell when it delivers at my house.

Sorry if I'm a bad photographer and thank-you for reading.

New Years but......

2012-01-02T08:23:00.000-08:00

Well, Happy News Years everybody around the world.

YEAR 2012!!!!!

I had a one week winter vacation and back to school tomorrow, which kinda sucks.
Is not that I hate school, is just that I'm lazy but I still care about my education (other than not disappointing my family).

I hope the world is not gonna end because there are some things I want to do other than not having bills, debt, regrets in life when I get older.
I see the U.S.A is not doing great in economic terms and still feeding crap to the U.S people.

What a sad year......

OTHER THAN THAT CAN'T WAIT FOR NEW ANIME SHOWS COMING UP THIS YEAR!!!!!

A couple examples

Nisemonogatari

Black Rock Shooter

Again Happy Years and let's do our best!
I wonder what will be in store for us ?

Denpa Kyoushi review

2011-12-30T19:22:00.001-08:00

I was reading "Denpa Kyoushi" by AZUMA Takeshi, today and it was godly, hahahahaha.

To other people it seems average or interesting but I really like it.
I have finish 6 chapters and continue to wait for more.

Denpa Kyoushi Manga
Summary:

Kagami Junichirou was known as a physics genius when he was a teenager, and he was even published in "Nature." However, after college, he suddenly lost all interest in science. As a NEET, he's devoted himself to his anime blog and nerdy collecting habits. He claims he has a serious illness called "I can't do anything I don't want to do." Desperate to get him to do something with his life, his little sister manages to get him a job teaching physics at his old high school. He's certainly an unconventional teacher, but he becomes fairly popular with the students. After helping a girl who's being ruthlessly bullied, Kagami finds that he actually likes teaching. Will he continue his career as a weird teacher? Will he go back into physics? Or will he end up back where he started?

I, myself really interested when reading or watching anime or manga when it tells a story about other otakus or anime/manga lovers but that's me, but I don't search every anime or manga to find such a story.

I really enjoy the characters and how Kagami Junichirou interacts with other people, having ADW ( (A) Able to (D) do what he (W) wants to do) is problematic.

To have a teacher that lets you play video games must be great.
I don't see much of Kagami Junichirou character development other than his passion in his hobbies.
To me the art is average but the story is good.

Conclusion: It is really good, give it a read.

Give any input of this manga or your opinions if possible.

Total War: Empires Review

2011-12-13T18:33:00.000-08:00

I bought the game last week and the game was ... great.
Really it was great, so of course you need a steam account and it took 1-3 hours to download all the neccessary stuff.

I played right through the night and then one time it freezes.
So, I reset my pc and back to the game, it was one small screw up.

The graphics are real nice except when I have one of my scholars to battle another, the cinematic or scene, motion picture or whatever is kinda slow so I close it to cut to the chase to see who wins.

I like the battles on land and sea, I was able to get the hang of it to move my soldiers to any position.
The sea battles is kinda difficult for me, not because of any glitch it is just that I not good at maneuvering.

Keeping the people happy is kinda difficult to me to manage many regions.
Currenty I have a few regions in Europe, one region off the coast of India and 4 regions in the Americas.
Oh yeah I'm currently playing as United Province.

Sorry for a vague reveiw:
Total Score: 8.5/10

If you are planning to get this game or any other total war games, make sure if your computer has fast loading capablilties, make a steam account before hand but be carfeul of buying anything from their site, read other reveiws of the site.

Now you have it.

PC games - some doubts

2011-12-04T09:38:00.001-08:00

Just recently I wanted to purchase a PC games but more particularly Empires Total War or Total War: Shogun 2. I played the demo of Empires Total War through steampowered.com and the gameplay was nice, graphics are good but there are lots of bad reveiws about steampowered.com like they save your account numbers and personal informations and misused them, I take lots of reveiws by heart so I got worried, before reading these reveiws I try to purchase Empire Total War twice but both said that my credit card had decline my purchase and that was a feeling of relief but it is possible that the my credit card is just holding my funds until they give the "A O-K" and I was like holy-sh*t.

I will say the game itself have some good reveiws but both Empires Total War and Total War: Shogun 2 have so many issues with it, like crashes, screen freezes and others. You need to have a steam account to play these games and downloading or installing could take more than a day but I guess it depends on your computer.

So, I have be being conflicted to buy or not to buy one of these games. I like the idea of moving your units tactically and conquering but there is so many issues.

I need a professional's help of these games, if anyone have any problems with these, how do you overcome them? I think of buying one of them myself but if the game is a total bust, I have just wasted my time, money, and resources for this broken thing.

I decided to go to the store and get one ( Empires Total War) until further notice I be back and tell whats happening, wish me luck.

I might be an idiot for not learning mistakes from others but I might be missing a game once a lifetime to play.

Most Shocking- "End of Liberty"

2011-11-27T12:07:00.001-08:00

After watching this video it was stunning, horrific, and shocking.
The end of the American way of life could end as we know it.
Some people may think that I am crazy, over exaggerated, I'm as well be one of those guys holding a sign in the streets saying "the end is near."

I don't know if there is an end of the world but I do believe there is a possibilty there will be a economic crisis like in greece or italy, will soon happen to United States of America too.
Actually riots doesn't sound that bad but I don't want that happening in my neighborhood.

Ordinary people who watches these entertaining shows, watching singers, dancers, MTV, cartoons.
I'm no diffferent than anybody else being born in a system, raised in an educational institutions saying getting a college degree will get you a job.
I use to believe that but I know that some people even without some sort of degree can be successful.
Just because they never finish school doesn't mean they cannot mount to anything.
I personally saw in school, people with bad grades were really smart but choose to let their grades slip by and then I realize that grades ain't everything but I can't help myself to get good grades or at least try my best.

So the movie or video, if you have any free time go and watch here:

For those living or any plans migrating to the U.S, after watching this video and still do not believe or have at least a little concern then go look through your window or visit the one of the most dangerous slums part of your town or city or on the internet and tell me that there is no poverty, there is no gangs, there is nobody on the street pushing carts and collecting cans, there is nobody sleeping on the ground or park benches,holding signs, and trying collecting change, foreclose homes, out of business buildings, unemploy citizens, or protesters then tell me there is nothing wrong with this country.

Maybe this kinda thing happens anywhere at anytime, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
Maybe we can't avoid this, maybe everyone cannot achieve happiness.
But that doesn't mean that we cannot change our behavior.

Personally after watching this video, I am afraid of the future.
More regulations, more corruptions, more unhumane acts by the government.

I don't want to live in this kind of future, Do You?

The World God Only Knows

2011-11-19T20:58:00.001-08:00

"Kami Nomi Zo Shiru Sekai" or "The World God Only Knows" is an anime and manga that I really enjoyed. I am still inexperienced with writing reveiws and I writing reveiws of my favorite shows and such, I will try new things, but let's talk about "The World God Only Knows."

It first came out (to my knowledge) as a manga.
I read the summary first and I have gotten really interested in it. The first
chapter was great, Keima-kun accepted a contract with the devil to
capture evils souls or souls of a demon (boooh) or he'll lose he lose head.

Now you are confused about why devils or demons trying to capture there own kind, well let's say there a new hell and old hell, old hell is gone and "new" devils and demons banish old demons and devils and now they escape with no bodies.

So, the souls moves in to someone's heart because there is a void in it like an emptiness. If you don't get it out soon, it will stay in there sucking and growing the negativity of the host and when the host is pregant or making someone else pregnant the child will be the reincarnation of the evil soul and you don't want that. A demon child like the movie 666 or something. He used his game experiences to fill the emptiness of the hearts of girls with love and kick that demon out and Keima's buddy capture it and sent it back to hell.

How cool is it to use stuff from games in real life, I wish I'm able to do it, maybe I should act like an assassin (from: Assassin Creed series) and jump house to house. Hmm....

So, Keima and his buddy Elsie (a demon) continue their adventures to hunt down loose souls, play games, and going to school. Being a gamer is so much work.

The anime is pretty good, love the opening and ending, the voices are great, the games in the anime could be great in real life, and the characters are awesome. This anime is not one of those other anime
with scenes with panty shots or main characer falls and touch the heroine's breasts and there is no love interest between boy and (any) girl. I will say overall the content to age appropriate is neutral per se. I recommend this to anyone or everyone of any age.

I had read every chapter of it (continuously waiting for more) and watch season I and season II and waiting for season III.

Here is another summary for more insight.

Summary: Katsuragi Keima is known on the net as the "Capturing God"
because of his ability to capture the hearts of girls in virtual dating sims.
But in real life he’s known as 'Otamegane' and hates all '3D' girls,
believing them inferior to girls of the game world. After unknowingly
signing a contract from hell, Elsee, a devil from Hell who has heard of

his legendary girl-capturing skills, comes into Keima's world and tells

him about the contract he had made with hell, which is to capture

the loose souls who escaped to earth. These spirits only hide in the

crevices in women's hearts, and the only way to get them out is to

make the host fall in love so that the gap in the heart will be filled.

Keima unwillingly accepts the challenge, because if he doesn't, he

will lose his head.

ONLINE SHOPPING

2011-11-04T21:23:00.000-07:00

There is good and a bad side of online shopping and I had experience both sides.

Let's start how I started shopping online, it was right after I experience Anime Boston I feel compelled to purchase more goods to feed my obsession. Of course, I drain most of my money and time on the computer. I'm (half) aware of the dangers of online shopping. Before going into clicking "check out" or "send order", I usually check the online stores. I would use the search engine on other people's reviews of experiences of that store ( it is a good source of opinions and personal experiences). I guess the best source of info of how good or bad of an online store is, if you experience it yourself, but you have to sacrifice your wallet for that information. "Ouch"

Another way to check out the store is contacting it by either by phone or e-mail to get up close and personal to know more about it. Then you will decide if this is the store you want to conduct businesses with.

I have a pretty good business with a few online stores (which shall not be named), the experience was simple and clean. When I shop online I would feel thrills or excitement when looking at nice products, hopefully others feel the same. I pick my selected products and choose the shipping method I want (with the right price) and click "send." I keep all my reciepts and if there is a question or problem I would contact them (e-mail) and they respond back and they did, and no electronic voice involve. The response seems to be from an actual person. Got my stuff and it putted a happy smile on my face.

Now, the bad things... I recently been very aware of products being badly made, bootlegged / fake, or used.
There are some stores saying that some of their products are used and had been cut down in price because of it. Good for them to letting us (the consumers) know but some may not.

I was shock when I learn the anime figures or merchandise can be fake, I watch this video about how to watch out for them and I learned a lesson or two ( labels, how the products are made, boxing, etc.) I took a look at the stuff I bought and it is authentic but who knows.

One thing I'm afraid most about online shopping other than stealing account information is not getting what I paid for even it is a fake.

This one store, my little sister wanted a poster from that place, she gave me the money and bought it. Next week I got an e-mail saying that the product I purchased was back-ordered or pre-ordered.
I was like, " what the F**k !?!"
The online store store did not display or warn that the product is back-ordered or pre-ordered, and I have to wait 1-2 weeks and they will send a e-mail that they have send the product.

Two weeks later, no message or contact had come up, so time for action, I build up a lot of courage and the call the place. The people seems polite and organized and I ask them for my money back and they comply. So one week then two weeks pass, and my money (little sister's money) has not return.

I'm planning to dispute this matter with a phone call but I'm not sure they will not give me the money back or any kind of offers.
Call them and fight or give up to another trap?

Lesson learned, but I feel this is unfair even though I talk to them on the phone but I guess businesses and a human heart (metaphor) could be as cold as the ice caps.

There are stores that is good that provides authentic products and good services and bad ones that are shameful, greedy with no remorse to us consumers.
But the same can say to the consumers of being bad.
A Message To The Consumer:
" Shop safely, conduct research, and respect to the shop owner and fight the man (or woman) for a refund if there is a problem."

A Message To Any Shop or Online Store Owner:
" Capitalism is a beatiful thing BUT there a horrific and dark side of it, I know that businesses are meant to make a profit but it did not justify for any of you to use evil methods to make money. Respect your customers, sell good quality products, and ... Well that's all I got"

So everybody take care.

Hyperdimension Neptunia

2011-10-29T20:32:00.000-07:00

Hyperdimension Neptunia is a JRPG ( Japanese Role-Playing Game), it was released a while back.

The short view of the game is that a world is torn apart because a battle between 4 goddesses which each one governs their own landmass and monsters are everywhere and a mastermind is behind it.

It is your typical RPG with the good vs evil but you play as one of the goddess and with a couple of companions with you to fight, there are funny scenes and the graphic and art are great, if you like anime well the art is in the eyes of the beholder, right. The battle system is similar to the Xenosaga series and Final Fantasy series, with the turn by turn system where characters and enemies take turns of attack There are dungeons and monsters and interesting characters. The only problem is that I can't endure the tedious work getting the other goddesses to join, but I'm glad that I beat the game.
Give it a good try, you have the chance (clicks links below).

The Rich just got Richer

2011-10-27T18:52:00.000-07:00

I notice this article yeaterday, and it refers to that the top 1% percent of the American population, that is consider the wealthiest people just made even more money. For the past 3 decades since the 1970s to 2007 their household income grew 275% and the middle class and lower incomes have stagnated. Personally that is messed up real bad, if the today's economy became similar to the "Great Depression" then the richest will be the only ones to afford a slice of pizza excluding from the people who makes them. There are good working people out there in the fields and where's their share? Watch if you like, it is about the 1%, ( I DO OWN OWN THE VIDEO AND IT IS RESPECTELY BELONGS TO ITS OWNER) As of heard, there is a protest at Wall Streets, the protesters are like representing the other 99% of the people, they are fighting for what is right but personally I think all of them have there own reasons and their own beliefs but fighting for a single cause. I personally hope them good luck and stay strong.

My First Anime Convention

This is my first anime convention, I was planning to go to Anime Boston 2011 Aprill 24th with my two sisters. I have to stay a couple of nights at my Grandma' apartment where my older sister lives but my Grandma was at the nursing home at the during that time.
IT WAS SO BORING STAYING IN SMALL APARTMENT, thank god there's a computer to use. So the next morning I was so hyped up to hurry up and go, we set the coordinates on the GPS, took a while for parking, follow a couple of cosplayers to the convention.
By the Way this will be my first time seeing real cosplayers other than online. Pay for our admission and boom, got in. The dealer room was close at the moment but we saw a long line, we got on it without knowing what it was, and it was for cosplay chess. This my first time seeing cosplay chess, it was good and funny, love it. Then the dealer room is on top of my wishlist to go, SO many booths and goods, I brought a limit of 300 dollars to spend. ( WEEP WEEP) wish i brought more money, got a couple of new figures (kos-mos and haruhi nendroid, FIRST TIME OWNING A FIGURE) , a couple of doujinshis, a code geass pencil board, a t-shirt, a mystery bag ($20), and etc. My lil sis made a plushie. The last we did is listen to karaoke, it was very nice.
Then go home, and explore my treasures, the experience is the changing point that change my life, I became more into anime and manga and spend money here and there (weep weep). But I dont regret it. The experience is great, saw interesting people, and I'll never forget it. Wish that I brought a camera to record it. THIS IS THE WHOLE COSPLAY CHESS, I DO NOT OWN THE VIDEO AND THE VIDEO BELONGS TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER!

Persona 4 the Animation

2011-10-23T10:26:00.000-07:00

I can't believe of what I saw on the listing of the new anime for this fall and
winter and one of them is Persona 4.

One of my favorite games just got there own animation. The show is base on the game
but they cut some scene and a few modification to make it shorter to fit the time slot but
it kept the overall story and characters and of course you can't play the character. LOL
It got the the same music for background, I like the opening and ending.

Here's my short summary of the show: Highschool Student move to uncle and cousin's
house at the country side, got mean homeroom teacher, new friends, and in his dreams
or otherwise made contract with old guy with long nose and he has an assistant. And strange
things happen in town and and he has a special gift and with his friends went inside TV world
to solve a murder case.

That's the jist of it, I guess there are other sites to tell you more in detail.

I would personally recommend the game Persona 4 to play before watching,
but if you want to skip all that goodie stuff in the game then thats fine.

Now I want to talk about the game, love the game, bought when it first comes out. Just
like the other persona games, I make a name, form a conract, build up my
friendships, fuse my personas, and interact with characters. I like it when I choose the
mutiple options of phases to respond to the characters if needed and it effects of relationship.

This is by far, the best video of corrupted America is and how it affects us. Watch this video and educate yourself. It is educational and entertaining. This should be shown on national TV or at least have millions of hits.

10,000 free trips to Japan

2011-10-19T15:31:00.000-07:00

just a heads up, this a bit old news, like a week or two. I guess the diaster in Japan like the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear plant incident during the summer, the tourism revenue has drastically gone down. The only way to make money is through tourism but foreigners are to afraid to visit. So the goverment will give away to 10,000 foreigners free trip to Japan. I guess the requirement is to that you are planning to go to Japan in the beginning for 2012 and that you own some sort of social media or network, like a website, blog , newspaper, or something and you have write about your trip to Japan, you know how it is safe and all good and delicious food and such.

Vocaloids

2011-10-18T13:38:00.000-07:00

Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer application, then the company (Yamaha Corporation) created character designs for their singing synthesizer, for example named Hatsune Miku.

I became a great fan of Hatsune Miku after watching a concert of Hatsune Miku and other Vocaloids.

Watch It and Like It. Behold your eyes for something you never experience before.
(sidenote: I respect other person's opinion, and I don't mind if the song is created by a synthesizer.)
