Denpa Kiyoshi Anime Wishlist

2012-01-13T14:18:00.000-08:00

I'm starting out this new segment. It's an anime wishlist of movies, novels, manga and comics that I would love to see in anime version. Since we've already seen Blade, Iron Man, and even Winter Sonata getting the anime treatment, who knows what they'll animate next right? Denpa Kiyoshi Anime Wishlist
Kagami Junichirou was a once an awesome Physics student at the University. He was so good that one of his thesis got published in several science magazines and was so incredible it could win a Nobel prize. But after graduation, Junichi went off the radar and stayed at home to be a NEET immersing himself into otaku blogging and collecting anime figures. He claims to have an illness called "ADW (A)Able only to (D)Do (What he Wants to do. -Sounds like just a lack of motivation to me. His little sister who was desperate to straighten him out got him a job as a teacher in none other his old school. He got accepted easily because of previous achievements even though he didn't like it at first. But with his unconventional teaching and some pretty interesting students, he learns he might really like teaching after all. I'm very interested in these kinds of anime. Otaku main characters have been popular in the past since he'll be someone the viewer can easily relate to. Plus having an extremely brilliant otaku professor who hates teaching but has so much potential and gets into all kinds of interesting and funny situations that turns out to inspire the people around him have always worked for anime like Negima, and Kami Nomi "The World God only Knows", both I realized just happened to be of the harem genre. Right now it's only in manga version. But the way the story is going, it won't be long before an anime will be made. Can't wait to watch it if does.

Another: A ghost story

2012-01-11T00:32:00.000-08:00

Every school has a ghost story and this show is about one. The show itself is beautifully animated and colors are amazingly vivid.

The World God Only Knows Season 2 Review and It's Coming Soon OVA

2011-06-28T01:55:00.000-07:00

The Season 2 of TWGOK animation and story plot that are more improve than the manga. Well I'll try to make a short summaries of this and each heroine for this Season.

The Fifth Heroine(in the continuaton of TWOGK) Kusunoki Kasuga is A Strong Heroine and like anything cute but Denied it because of her responsibility as a Martial Artist however when Keima Conquered her, soon realize that she can be stronger by accepting both her Feminine side and Martial Art.

Well her Story seem a bit tsundere or just plain and simple cute, Anyway she on the average level than the manga portion.

Specking of Average, The 6Th Heroine Chihiro Kosaka is a Average girl with a average life and always criticize Keima however she eventually get to like him in the middle of the Conquest (where Keima help Chihiro getting a guy). After her Conquest she eventually create a Band where her life is no longer a sad average life.

Well the Anime certainly make her story plot dramatic that she seem the most saddest heroine I saw in TWOGK because of this she is one of the most popular TWOGK heroine.

Next Heroine... or one of the main character Haqua du Lot Herminium or Haqua for short, She is old friend of Elsie also part of the Runaway Spirit Squad and a Chief District. She was an honor student back then in hell but after join the hunting Squad, she keep failing from capturing spirit and eventually controlled by one, however Elsie help to break her from being controlled with Keima's advice and succeed to capture a spirit.

Well her characteristic in the Anime are surely amazing that I feel her superiority persona when she first show up but soon enough she become Tsundere when Keima easily blackmail her or overpower her in many ways.

Next the last(for this season)/7Th Heroine Jun Nagase, She a Teacher Student that just recently become the Runaway Spirit host. At first she try to help Keima to turn him a good student but later her past reveal that some people can't take her Ideals that make her give up on certain point, but Keima help her to realize that never to give up what she believe and become a better teacher in the future.

Well she the first Adult Heroine that Keima Capture in the TWOGK series that give another perspective for older women. Some of her action is childish yet show a bit seduction on certain point of view (like this pic).

Well At The last Episode they show another galge character "Yokkyun" that Keima become so interested with it, the Title of the game "One Leaf". It's drawing is really childish in everyway but the story plot seem a bit like Clannad or Kanon(at least the theme song sounded great than the last season crappy song). Its Company"B's wares" Ask Keima about an advice to create another galge but in the end, he reply and ask to make it a good game.

At the ending Credits show potential heroine by its coming OVA this September(sorry about taking it with the Credits).

Tsukiyo Kujyō The girl who like's the moon

Minami Ikoma, An Indecisive Middle Schooler

Rieko Hinaga , a close neighbor of Keima's grandparent

Sumire Uemoto, the sweet ramen girl

Tenri Ayukawa, A childhood friend of Keima and the Key character of the deeper plots of TWOGK

Well I do not know how many OVA they will make but one thing is sure that this is just the ending of the anime but the story in the manga continue on. If they don't announce a third season or a movie of it lol^^.

Epic Anime Time's Gak Attack

2011-06-25T06:07:00.001-07:00

Meet Toronto's Yung Lee also known as "Gak Attack". He an amateur videographer and a self-proclaimed "man of action" who created the recent YouTube hit "Epic Anime Time" at AnimeNorth 2011.
Lee has no formal education in filmography or special effects work, which hasn't stopped his "Epic Anime Time" video from becoming one of Canada's most-favorited Film & Animation vids for the week of June 20 on streaming site YouTube. The video features cosplayers (like Naruto, One Piece, Dragon ball Z ant etc.) from this past May's Anime North convention in Toronto, who take turns beating Lee up.

From Watching this Video make me Laugh so hard and amazed how he made it so good, so he have my vote in "like" on Youtube. To watch more of his Video Click Here^^

Mini 3D Hatsune Miku Projection

2011-06-21T05:55:00.000-07:00

Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) demonstrates a concert-style 3D projection of the virtual idol Hatsune Miku except it's on a tabletop that called "fVisiOn".

fVisiOn is a novel glasses-free tabletop 3D display. The developed novel technique canfloat standing 3D image on a blankflat tabletop surface, and allow multiple viewers to observe the 3Dfrom omnidirection of 360° in seated condition. It is designed to be a friendly interface for multiple users for varied tabletop tasks by featuring our glasses-free method and observation style.

For generation of the 3D images, fVisiOn employs a newly developed special optical device as a screen and a series of micro projectors arranged circularly. The combination of those devices reproduces a light field in a certain volume on the table. The light field represents a bunch of directional rays radiated from surfaces of objects which are assumed to be on the table. The light field of our method is optimized for observing in seated condition. In other words, the fVisiOn’s viewing area occupies an oblique position above the table. Additionally, our entire 3D imaging mechanism is installed underneath the table. It keeps the tabletop area clear and does not disturb collaborative work and natural communications. For example, fVisiOn can display virtual 3D images beside printed documents and physical mock-ups.

The developed system is a prototype to validate a 3D generation principle we proposed. It employs a conical-shaped optical device and 96 projectors, and covers the viewing area of approximately 120° around the table, though it is 1/3 of ideal implementation. This primal prototype can float the 3D images of a height of approximately 5 cm on the tabletop surface like a centerpiece in the center of the table.

By using fVisiOn on Hatsune Miku, The People can view Hatsune Miku dancing in 360 degrees from any seat around the table, since it uses the current fVisiON 3D display prototype developed by NICT's Shunsuke Yoshida. No glasses are necessary to view the display in person. If they succeed to make this Mini Hatsune Miku bigger, they might put this on her next concert^^.

Here the Video of it:

"The Best Anime & It's Characters This 2011 According to Foreigners"

2011-06-17T00:11:00.000-07:00

Its more like "Foreigners Best Anime Choice Award" goes to what Anime they think is best.Well I'm also a foreigner so my choice are simply the over-popular Anime like Fate Stay as such. Anyway here the Chart of "the Best Anime Tournament" or just a simple voting which anime they pick to win.

Well it surprise me that most of the new anime are easily defeat and the older anime are tougher than I imagine in the end, the one who won the Best Anime Title is "Evangelion!!" Reason why it won? Well only thing I think of is Evangelion 2.0 become more popular and sale high and it the most trivial anime in history.

If the Foreigners think which the best anime, They also think about the Character too. So lets go to the next Tournament entitle "The Fight of Character" or AnimeClash. Only the winner will get the title of Best Character of 2011.

Well It seem Eva won twice a row and Rei Ayanami popularity pawned them all. This mean most foreigner's are Eva Fans or like Eva the most. Well I like Eva too not because its over-popular but its got a Excellent Story plot.

Gainax's Dantalian no Shoka Anime Adaptation

2011-06-15T23:48:00.000-07:00

studio Gainax is producing the anime adaptation of Gakuto Mikumo's "Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian" (Dantalian no Shoka) light novel series. In this story, a young man, "Huey Anthony Disward" in 1920s London to inherit his grandfather's property and meets a girl name "Dalian" who handles the Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian, the forbidden books of demonic wisdom also know as "Phantom Books". Together they collect all the "Phantom Books" that Huey's Grandfather lend when he's still alive.

Gainax co-founder Hiroyuki Yamaga already revealed at California's FanimeCon last month that his studio's next work after the previously announced television series Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt would be more "refined" and set in 20th-century Great Britain. He then added in an ANN interview that it is based on a novel set in 1920s England and revolves around a boy and a girl who collect magical books. An April job listing had already revealed that Gainax is working on a new anime production from May to October, and the job listing indicated that the project is set in Great Britain from 1900 to 1930.

Reading the Novel and Manga was very interesting. Its like Index (Toaru Majutsu no Index) being able to be so useful by lending the Books to someone else and not saying it from her mind, only problem is she need a key to unlock it. The anime will premiere on July 15 2011.

Well here the Trailer of it:

Bleach 452 : Ichigo's Truly Complete FULLBRING

2011-06-15T20:46:00.000-07:00

Well seeing Ichigo's new outfit(the Complete Fullbring) give a lot of disappointment. The Clad like or the Black Shinigami outfit give better look like a samurai, however this new outfit seem more ninja style and the sword gone shorter. This make me wonder why did the Author change him this way or this is just another level of power that shape him as a Fullbringer and not a Shinigami Representative. Anyway the Fullbringer are closes to hollows so that might be one of the reason why is white more than black. Well next chapter is about get exciting again^^.

Coming Soon Loli Basketball Anime "Ro-Kyu-Bu!"

2011-06-14T06:11:00.000-07:00

The anime adapts of Sagu Aoyama's Ro-Kyu-Bu! light novel series. The story centers around a high school freshman boy named Subaru Hasegawa who joined the basketball team, but the team stopped playing due to the captain being suspected of being a lolicon. Subaru somehow ends up as a coach of an elementary school's basketball team with five girls.

Well I can't say much about a story of a high school coach teaching five little girls that might lead A Lot of misunderstand if one of the girl are in love if him from a point of view, but it might have a nice story plot like comedy romance genre and a bit drama or slice of life. Anyway the anime be out on July 1, 2011.

Here a trailer of it:

New Gundam Series "Gundam AGE"

2011-06-14T05:41:00.000-07:00

The new series "Mobile Suit Gundam AGE" will be set in a new timeline with three main characters piloting the Gundam AGE-1 each at a time fighting against an unknown attacking enemy to defend Earth in a "One Hundred Year War" an apparent homage to the One Year War of the first Gundam series. The series is set in A.G (Advanced Generation) Year 115, and as the war's name implies, its storyline is set to span across one century.

The first pilot is Frit Asuno, who developed the Gundam and its AGE SYSTEM that allows it to "evolve" and gain access to its three forms from experience in battle, Normal Form, the faster SPARROW Form and the more powerful TITUS Form. The second pilot is Asemu Asuno, Frit's child, and the third and final protagonist is Kio Asuno, Frit's descendant who inherits the Gundam. Further information about the series' plot is yet to be explained, but it was noted that this Gundam series have its character designs and merchandise oriented to younger audiences in contrast to previous installments of the franchise.

Well from watching the PV of it, It like all the Gundam Series I know (W, X, G, 00, SEED and its 2nd Series or Movies) are put in together in one Dramatic Kiddy Anime series.

Vocaloid 3 : Improve Realistic Voice Synthesis

2011-06-14T04:07:00.000-07:00

Yamaha Corporation Announced in 2009 about making Vocaloid 3 in the Future. This year they issued a press release formally announcing the next version upgrade of their popular singing synthesizer application Vocaloid 3 and its release. It is being claimed as their most “realistic voice engine yet.” In my Opinion it sound smoother almost like a Real Singer's Voice.

Vocaloid 3 Features:

More realistic voice synthesis
User-friendly interface
Improved editing tools – listen to the separate tracks of a song as you compose
Library import tool for Vocaloid 2 soundbanks
Editor and Vocal Library sold separately
Additional language support; including Chinese, Korean, and Spanish
Vocaloid 3 is slated for release September 30th.
and Etc.

Here the two Announcement they made(No sub, Just Raw):

Here the Sample of the Korean Vocaloid (Made for Vocaloid 3):

Amazing isn't it...

Well every Vocaloid Song need a Character for it. So they draw this Vocaloid:

Well tell you the truth this Character is seem best in Galge / Eroge (many fans comment this), She not even close to the Korean Vocaloid Song "I - Fantasy" because of her very Cute look, no Cool factor at all or those Korean Characteristic. Anyway I hope they bring out an Amazing Vocaloid with a human like voice on September 30^^.

A Japanese project Neurowear showcases an Moving Cat Ears and its called "Necomimi" (a stylized romanization of the Japanese term for "cat ears") prototype this week. Rather than a standard headband with cat ears on it, Necomimi claims that the product detects the brainwaves emitted by the wearer and moves the ears accordingly twitching, folding down, or perking back up. The footage was taken at Smile Bazar [sic], an event that is taking place in Shibuya, Tokyo from April 29 to May 8.

Neurowear also launched the following commercial(The First Video), which reveals that concentration will cause the ears to perk up, and relaxing results in them folding down.
