Maikaru's Notebook

Edward Vs Chuck

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:07:00 +0000

Still in the unlikely and really weird feeling for Twilight, I happened to came up with these gay comment about Edward's famous quotes and Mr. Chuck Norris' possible reactions towards it.

A normal GUY would say:
I LOVE YOU.
EDWARD WOULD SAY:
YOU ARE MY LIFE NOW.
CHUCK WOULD SAY:
WOULD YOU LOVE IT WHEN I GIVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU?

A normal GUY would say:
I WANT TO BE WITH YOU.
EDWARD WOULD SAY:
I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO STAY AWAY FROM YOU.
CHUCK WOULD SAY:
I WOULD TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD SO FAST THAT I CAN EVEN ROUNDHOUSE KICK MY ASS JUST TO BE ABLE TO BE WITH YOU.

AS you leave the house...
A normal GUY would say:
BYE SEE YA!
EDWARD WOULD SAY:
HURRY BACK TO ME.
CHUCK WOULD SAY:
CAN I TALK TO YOUR FATHER ABOUT THESE DAMNED CURFEW THING? *WITH SERIOUS EYES AND CLINCHED FIST!*

when you're far away..
A normal GUY would say:
I MISS YOU.
EDWARD WOULD SAY:
ITS LIKE YOU HAVE TAKEN HALF MYSELF WITH YOU.
CHUCK WOULD SAY:
I NEVER MISS ANY TARGET AND I NEVER WILL.*REALLY MISSING THE POINT BUT HE DIDN'T EVEN CARE*

IF YOU DIE, A NORMAL GUY
WOULD FIND ANOTHER..
EDWARD WOULD KILL HIMSELF:
WITHOUT YOU IS A LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING.
CHUCK WOULD FIND YOUR KILLER AND WILL BREATHE DEATH TO HIS/HER EXISTENCE. IF HE CAN'T FIND ONE that would be the end of earth for us. HE will give the earth a full roundhouse kick that will shatter the very foundation of it until it crumble into pieces. *He didn't even bother to know what the real reason of his girl's death.*

There you have it folks, who would you love to love? Me? Of course Cullen, who will bother doing romance with Mr. Chuck... *Chuck suddenly appeared in Maikaru's very face and reached for his neck with tremendous strength. Chuck didn't bother to listen to the words from his victims mouth*

Hagane no Renkinjutsushi 2

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:50:00 +0000

*Full Metal Alchemist 2 set to be aired May of 2009*

Yes, you're definitely reading it right. Finally, the long wait will be over for the new season of Full Metal Alchemist, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, Hagaren, "Full Metal of Brotherly Love" or whatever you may call it. I'm too, was so excited thinking what would happen to Winry. Check it's new official Japanese website here.

*Winry Rockbell, in her full moeness glory!*

The anime is due to air May of 2009, and I'm hearing that they (Bones) will follow the manga 100 % because of the subpar storyline of the released anime episodes. That may cause a total restart*Don't know about that? Just hearsays.* for the anime since the mangaka's (Arakawa Hiromu) and Bones' storyline were been targets of much criticism from original manga readers. Either way, a total restart or not, me as the anime fan (don't have the time to checked the manga for myself) is very happy to have again the chance to see what will really be the ending to this seem endless tale of brotherly love and science. Yahoo to incest yaoi! Just kidding!

Sayonara Suzaku - My Zero

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:51:00 +0000

*If I knew that I might lose you, I should spend more quality time with you.*

Yesterday was not a very good day for me, I lost my only love, my Suzaku-kun, one of my only 3 gashapons *Where my other two were abandoned.* after I ate dinner in some fast food chain here. I was in the most dangerous place that time here in the Philippines, known as the "Den of the Thieves" Quiapo. Being attentive to what my surrounding were doing, I knew that I'll never lose something. But I'm so peeved cause I'm always have to check my pocket to see if everything is still in my pocket. I put Suzaku in my cellphone *As my phone's chain.* and he is outside my pocket everytime soI guess that's what triggered the thieves, my precious Suzaku! He's been an eye catcher, I know it when people staring like "Damn I also like to have that..."*IMOHO I really knew it.* But all came to worst when I found out that "my precious" was missing! That the only thing left was the chain. Poor me! Poor Suzaku! Didn't have the time to tell each other goodbyes. As I sitting in the bus on my way home, I wonder that maybe he saved my cellphone from being stolen. That he sacrificed he's own welfare for my own and by that my love for him grew even bigger. *I'm sounding Yaoi here now but I really don't care.* Wherever you might be, I wish upon the stars that everything will be okay and Kami bless me again that you Suzaku is my only price in any Gashapon machines I'll meet in the future. I don't care how many you are. *Again, Sayonara Suzaku. Gomen.*

*I guess you gave the thieves some famous "Suzaku kick".*

Random What If - Fate/Stay Night

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 11:27:00 +0000

What if...

*Tohsaka Rin never had that little problem with summoning her servant and so Archer didn't loss his memory?*

*Shirou accidentally summoned the real King Arthur in his manly glory?*

*Shirou got really scared because of his recently near-death experiences and realize that his life is precious and didn't want to join the Holy Grail War?*

*Archer beat the hell out of Berserker and able to rejoin Rin & Co.?*

*Archer being the real Shirou gained back his memory after he saw Saber and relive their unfinished love affair?*

*Sakura was the one who ordered Rider instead of his brother?*

*the outfit that put by caster was Haruhi 's bunny cosplay? what would be the right reaction for Shirou?*

*Rin did tell Shirou that she really like him a lot? that she can fight for it against Saber?*

*Gilgamesh is not just the lone surprise servant? What if there's a ninth servant and he looks like Superman?*

*What if Saber acted selfishly and didn't decide to return to her Kingdom and just let her past be ruin by any means she knew would happen if she didn't comes back?

Feito / Sutei Naito

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:09:00 +0000

*My favorite Fate Stay Night Master/Servant*

Just finished Fate Stay Night *You might be wondering, "why just now?" . Sorry but I will not go on with that details for now but if you still insist in knowing, you can read it here.* But one of the reasons is, "My buying can't keep up with my watching." kinda thing and I knew most of you suffers to these too. I don't want to go on and give you guys some reviews about it cause that may win me some and hurt some and that I don't want that to happen. *Lolz.* Instead I came up with just this;

What I like about the series...

1. The Harem feel to it. *Even though the girls doesn't exactly confess to Shirou Emiya except Saber of course.*
2. The main heroines are hot! *Tohsaka Rin and Saber are definitely "jaw drops" at least for 2d girls.
3. Got some kick-ass shounen type battle scene. *My favorite was Archer versus Berserker ~ with serious lines from archer that made my heart melt!*
4. Introductions of Noble Phantasm and the unique power of the male lead. *Favorites were Archer's and Gilgamesh's.*

What I don't like...

1. The truth about Saber being King Arthur. *I just don't get it. A girl is actually a King.*
2. The frequency of Shirou getting kicked in his ass. *Near death experiences were his favorites.*
3. Looks like they're the only ones involve in the chaos that supposed to affect the whole world. *Aside from crimes committed by some Masters and the event that took place 10 years ago, I want to see that everything is under Holy grail war's juggernaut.
4. Didn't like the first OP song and the second one is just okay.

*Is Archer really is Shirou?*

I searched for Archer's real identity and I'm really clueless that he is actually Shirou. *I know it's not new but for the benefit of the others like me, you can read it in later part here.

My Verdict:

I'm not trying to summon any of your dying passion for Fate Stay Night or to relive your any unmolested experiences playing or watching it here since time sure really passed me by, I will make it short. A good experience for shoujo/VN fans with a touch of shounen type battle scenes and some melodramatics to touch our hearts. Some flaws were tolerable.

Suggestive Versus Revealing

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:15:00 +0000

Been reading Sankaku's post a while ago and I'm a bit shocked *but in awe* with what I saw. Sets of Miku, Ranka, CC's dakimakura in suggestive poses! But not only that, they also have their own revealing poses that I guess most of you will pick over the latter. Never been a fan of revealing ones *But I also love them~lolz* cause I always feel that it taking something away from me, something like excitement I guess.

You can see some fellow otaku's view about these @ my DannyChoo.com post.

Abunai! It's a Bird. Iie, it's..., okay whatever.

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:50:00 +0000

*Shitting on humans? I think there's a conspiracy here, pigeons x bullied geeks!*

I received these pictures from a friend through email and made me laugh my ass out loud. After all these centuries of brutal acts against animals *and misunderstood love for them if ever*, I guess we should be threatened to see these leaked photos that all along, they've planning to take over our beloved planet and turn us to be just laughing matters. *Ow, what's that? Earth is also their planet?! Really?*. Okay back to reality, these sure are funny. Hope to know where these originated cause maybe there's much more pictures for our own delight.

*Ouch, that should hurt! That's what you called "Wise Banking".*

*After using their distinctive body color in our pedestrian lanes, it's "pay back time" these time around .*

*The scariest plan in these leakage, I pulled my mouse after I saw these and stick with just the keyboard alone.*

How to Banzai a Japanese Woman

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 02:07:00 +0000

*At last, I can have you Yumi-chan!~Fingers crossed~*

I found rather interesting stuffs here and here. After the scrutiny, I gone excited *as usual* and thought I should give it a shot. Speaking like it was the easiest job on earth and I'm just the perfect man for these easy job! *Thinking handsome enough... lolz!*. But surreality sure reaches it's dead end, I knew it was easier said than actually doing it and I'm getting ahead of myself! *Had a dyspneic condition.*

But before everything get out of hand, these interesting facts about Japanese women based from the read articles that foreigners should remember.

1. Most Japanese women are very picky. *These definitely surprised me cause most pron I've watched, male leads were not that desirable. As if I really watch one!*

2. Japanese women are stylish and they expect the same when they evaluate a man. *Another obvious surprise, I didn't think they really care about the look of their man. I'm starting to think that getting one would probably means a lot of bloody effort.~ What took me so long to realize it?*

3. Japanese women what to be treated as "woman" not just objects. *I think it's universal, cause most men treat women just like sex symbols. I can say I'm out from that bandwagon.*

4. Improve your Japanese language skills. *Learn some difficult Kanji and prolly you could cross Japanese crowd saying "suimasen" with right hand in chopping manner!*

5. Japanese women don't need foreign boyfriends since it's a major problem in Japan to date non-Japanese. *Really? But we need them more than anything in these world! Dammit! Lolz*

My thoughts about Japanese women with all due respect are, that they're extremely polite. Maybe because of their culture of very submissive mentality with regards to Japanese men. *You can think about the early eras where Japanese women can't walk in the same pace as men.* You *as in we* can see it *their politeness* everywhere from "health products" to "health products". *Probably money really talks and it talks louder with teens!*

Here is the summarized of these article I'm so excited about, the key for you *Gaijins* to seduce a Japanese babe. So put your game face on you motherearthlover.

1. Try not to 'come on' to a Japanese woman because that is not how her mind is conditioned. You must almost do it without really doing it. *Looks like we need Robert Langdon to decipher these but I guess one must control himself from too much obvious acts.*

2. Make sure that you praise her beauty. *I guess that was a must.*

3. Be patient. *Of course, cause patient is a virtue.*

4. Use hypnotism. *I guess I should watch David Blaine's instructional videos.*

5. Do not rush into touching, holding hands, kissing, petting, petting, etc. unless you feel that you have the most positive signal. *How can we know the signal? Another instructional video?*

6. Watch out the body languages. *I guess there's a manual for that.*

7. Make them believe that things that will happen or happened is coincidence or inevitable. *White liers will have advantage here.*

8. Take one step at a time and while you will encounter some resistance (mostly in words) but that is to reinforce what has already been described previously. *Forget about Nampa here for the meantime.*

9. Be gentle and slow and do not rush it. *Always think: You don't have to wait 10,000 Years!*

My Ancient Onna

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 01:23:00 +0000

*Hisashiburi Aniki! It has been a long time.*

The three women above made me the man I am now!

Ancient Onna (noun) - Female characters from any early anime usually aged over 20 but below 35. It's just a self produced term by the way.

Misato of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ritsuko-sensei of Jiguko Sensei Nube, Fujiko Mine of Lupin III are my favorite "Ancient Onna"s . For these week Versus, who among them is your chose?

*Disclaimer: Again, they're not the best you know just my favorites!*

The man who love the not-so-bulgar fan service! There were always there to tease you but extremely soft core! The reason why I prefer women who were not submissive, always on command and control, teachers, mini skirts and much older I guess. Hahahah.

Misato Katsuragi

The primary reason why I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion. I remembered the series was shown
here in the Philippines when I was a high school student and she alone took my innocence! Forget about Rei and Asuka, and Shinji! She was the bomb! The fact that I loved black haired woman adds to my undying admiration for Misato's beauty!

Ritsuko Takahashi

These hot woman of Jiguko Sensei Nube was my the very experienced of the scene "boobs pillow" whereas a male's head will accidentally happen to land to the boobs of a female character. A very familiar scene nowadays?! Yes, but nothing beats your first! To see it for the very first time was a cherished experience for me!

Fujiko Mine

Who said that outdated animation can't shake nerves? I'm also one of the nonbeliever, but after seeing it over every other night *I remember that local TV Network here broadcast it daily every night.* I started to become addicted of her somewhat exotic animation beauty!

My Verdict:

I can't decide with these one. They have their moments in my life as part of my transition from my childhood to manhood. I will just leave them as is, no ranking *Misato having slight edge among them.* . I guess I should post it in Mr. Danny's site so I can see what some otaku there think about they're "Ancient Onna".

My Venus Visit

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 04:56:00 +0000

Yesterday, I was in Venus *Love Planet* for my weekly visit there and I was stunned! *I'm always stunned by that place anyway.* Wandering the place, I saw most billboards with gorgeous anime babes! Not just that gorgeous, as in "gorgeous". *Yeah, you know what I mean.* How sick was that! No place in Earth *Not even in Japan I guess.* will be the place for ecchii images publicly! So you too should visit Venus to know what exactly I mean. I can't upload all the photos here cause some are just too revealing, obscene.

I don't mind walking here all day long...!

I don't mind passing these billboard by all day long...!

I don't mind cheering for these painters all day long...!

I don't mind using the escalator back and forth all day long...!

I don't mind if this building is still under construction...!

I don't mind standing here all day long...!

Obviously, I am just fooling around. There's no such place as Venus. *At least one livable place that I can visit on a weekly basis. I can't even do it in Japan for at least once a year.* Photos were only generated from Photofunia. Try it and love it!

My Anime Hair

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 06:43:00 +0000

Which hair ? Sugoi! I want 9!

It is definitely a work of art how a little bit of styling put on hair *or too much* can dramatically change one's appearance. *How wonderful.* It's not a new thing and we all knew that boys pay so much attention to it. It is also the "Crown and Glory" not only for girls but for the boys as well. I don't have a hunch about what most of you think about anime characters' hair but for me they're been the biggest influence on how I do my hair. But of course, most anime are fiction-based so some *Or maybe most* of the hair styles has been so fictitious and are difficult to accomplished *I always went on thinking how many wax or gel should I spend just to pull a certain style off.*

I remember when I was a grader I also go to school with my Trunks' Hair on *Without the hair color.*. When I was in High School, I also tried Son Gohan's *The short hair one, cause that was the simple and permitted one. I can't go to school with Son Gokou's Super Saiyan 3 hairdo! Lolz *. Time passes and our fetish in hair changes gradually as we grow older so I wanted to have longer hair *Kinda like that of Xingke ~lol*. I envy people I see in the street having punky hairstyle, I see too much Sasuke Itachi and Ryuuga Hideki in malls nowadays. So now before I suffer Male Hair Deficiency Syndrome, I will style it any way I want.

How long would it take for me to have that hair? Forever?

Eroge - Closer Encounter

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 03:44:00 +0000

"Konata's ability to play video and read manga at
the same time is beyond human comprehension"

Behold! I have a confession to make!*Neh, So much for an intro.*

I feel unworthy today. It felt like I did a crime I'm not supposed to commit. *Yeah as if there's such a crime we all can commit.*

I was in a gaming week last time and the sole reason for my obvious online disappearance lately. I will not going to mention the games here *Cause that might cause me some readers* I was religiously paying attention to my computer monitor, making use of all my might playing with keyboard/mouse buttons like it was a joystick! *I know I'm exaggerating here.* I'm not a hardcore gamer as an otaku should be but I'm actually a decent player *Even though I'm not a gaming pilgrim and not updated with new stuffs.* Last couple of months due to my shoujo marathon engagements, I decided to download a Visual Novel and luckily it was Clannad. As I researched various post and online docus about VN, I stumbled with eroge. Eroge has not been a strange thing to me since the term is pretty obvious and context clues always point you in gaming. *That's how we met. "Eroge and me"*. So I ended searching for a "decent eroge" *Is there such a thing?* My preferences were, not that "big eyed" like most characters and fully interactive *Not just simply clicking.*. I asked through Yahoo Answer and the respond went fast saying I should try "The Sagara Family and Bible Black". I downloaded the former since I've watched Bible Black and I have to say it's below the belt for me, seriously. I'm dead serious ~as part of a religious family, it's kinda extremely hardcore. *I'm not kidding.* The eroge didn't stayed uninstalled compare to the VN. I'm so curious about it. I have idea of the story. OMG! Even the load screen are not suitable for so much mature contents *Wide open big eyes.*. It offers nothing but bunch of ecchii scenes! You will not bother skipping the conversation part and I'm start thinking *This is lame.* To tell you frankly, it was my very first experience with true eroge! *I played SimBabe, a dating sim in my mobile phone long ago.*. To tell you again, I have guilt feeling that I shouldn't have played that game. *Even though it has been ancient times since I'm wondering what it is to be while playing those kind of things?* That is what making me feel filthy. Yes, I'm no angel but If I can turn back time I probably didn't bite the bait and just stick my nose with Clannad game. I don't know about the other eroge out there *I also know some VN have sexual contents but I guess that's not the same with hardcore eroge, just like most R-18 movies.* but I should never wandered that uncharted land of mine in the first place.

It is disgraceful when I see cute anime char
in sexual scenes, looks like a bondage Kotomi.

Yozakura Shijuusou 1

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:25:00 +0000

Hime's Zettai Ryouiki is FTW.

I'm not about blogging any anime episodes but since my blog is obviously about animes and a made reviews about them also makes a blog interesting, I decided to start one as well *That's is just FMHO.*. Since many have blogged Gundam 00 S2 *I don't want to join the bandwagon.*, I decided to pick from the other list and I remembered that Yozokura Quartet has hit my nerve back then when I'm looking in the upcoming anime previews.

The first episode was nothing epic, the usual introductory phase of most anime series. Story started with the introduction of Sakurashin, a town where human and Youkai can live together *Sounds familiar?*. These town is said the place of Sakura trees that was and only way of the youkai can be send back to their dimension. The Hiizumi clan, where the successor and the only human who can perform the process called "tuning" *Dispel Youkais.* came from, must act to protect human against Youkai with the intention to hurt the latter. Because the Youkai's immigration increasing annually and so with the security risk, the task of protecting the town has become organized, leaving the job to a group consisting of Youkais and the successor of Hiizumi clan.

Some Hiizumi Clan or Zetsubou Sensei?

The episode showed glimpse of how these group "Yozakura Shijuusou or Yozakura Quartet" works in maintaining the order in Sakurashin. A super-strong girl named Hime, a Dragon Incarnation, Ao, a Satori (mind reading Yokai), a conjurer named Kotoha, and a Hiizumi named Akina.

Hime, the Dragon incarnate. She demonstrated her power by...

standing still in high places,...

jumping so high with her long scarf on,

deflecting speeding bullet with her bare hand,

and crying over a overheated instant noodles.

Ao, the mind reader and probably the youngest. She's sad with the
perverted thoughts going on in the air. It's kinda hard for her.

This is how she uses her power. Looks like a scene from some H-anime!

"Much closer look!"

Kotoha, the "Language user". She can summon
things through emphasized words.

Here, she's about to summon load of ammunitions.

and with just that being said, she unleashes the firepower...

I wonder why she didn't use her power to... build her plamos?

Akina, the "Tuning" expert.

Nothing really special about him. Just your normal anime guy who dispels Youkai..
After all it's only the first episode.

Yozakura Quartet, Quar... oh. One, two, three, four, five? Okay, but sure I can count.

The culprit. The reason why I counted five. Kyosuke, the "Oni", huh?

Someone just sneaked in,but in a very obvious place and he looked familiar.

I see, that's why he is so familiar. He looks like Ao.

Oh man! What were they' doing? Siscon?

My Verdict:

Seems like my rapid cognition failed me, nothing really excite me when I watched it. My snap judgment when I first read the description of it in some anime previews really felt short cause it's totally different from what I'm expecting. The animation is just okay, the character design I can say is "Not your typical...". The art through opening and ending themes were quite amusing even though the music is not that "catchy" and I probably will skip it the next time. But since it's just the first episode like what I've said I will still give it a try but to keep on blogging it, nah these is enough. If you want some girls with unconventional character designs and supernatural powers, these probably might do the work. All in all, good anime but not that special.

Code Geass Swing Gashapon

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:18:00 +0000

You can get all of them! No sweat!

I thought it's kinda late but I will still post it anyway. Remember my first encounter with Code Geass Swing? Yes they're called swing. I don't have a clue why swing. When we happened to be back for the next con, I'm so excited cause I'm about to have my new fig *The following Sunday for Cosmania '08.* so I tried the Gashapon Machine. I'm totally wrong about it. It is not like pachincko as I said earlier in my post and you don't need to have basket of luck to win. So I bought tokens *You would be needing two and that will cost you US$ 2.00.* and my first try was a Suzaku! *I''m a bit disappointed cause I'm hoping for a Lelouch with Geass on or Anya.* So I bought another pair of tokens, put it on the coin operated toy vending machine with a prayer and wah lah! Oh Yes! Kami-Sama has listened to my prayer! Another Suzaku MF'ing keychain! Damned! But I didn't and never lose hope, so I make my way again to the counter, bought the usual stuff that I'm buying moments ago *The cashier was so kawaii! She probably noticed me noticing her. ~lol.*. Came back to the cheating machine *That's what I'm starting to feel that time, that the machine was doing tricks on me.* and did some voodooing, enchanting, sacrificing a baby, holding a charm while saying "Lelouch, Lelouch, or Anya. Or maybe Xingke will do." in Latin! Hell break loose! I saw the heaven opened, "Divine Intervention?". Maybe the gods pity me cause I spend US$ 6.00 already. When I opened the lid, my whole world gone GAINAX! You will not believe it but probably it's obvious, that I got another MF'ing Suzaku keychain fresh from the capsule! Yes, All Hail Suzaku keychains! What have I done in my past life that maybe altered the natural occurrences in these time and space continum? I wanted to ask the sale assistants if there's any solutions they can offer but I knew there's no way they can help me since the token is...ahh a long story. Discount all the overreactions (I didn't really sacrificed a baby and no animals were hurt), I just can't help but to laugh over these funny experience and maybe one of my regretful act in my life.

Almighty Gashapon Machine: "Get your filthy hands off me you lowly being".

Lesson Learned:

1. Gashapon is for little children. If you want the capsule toys, ask a kid to do it for you. And perhaps, they are more bless than you.

2. And if you still insist of doing it yourself and got a Suzaku, stop right there. Kami-sama is telling you that you're not worthy of touching the sacred Gashapon Machine.

3. If you have more than one Suzaku Gashapon and you want to sell it, the possibility of that being sold is zero! *They just think that you're an imbecile. It's relatively expensive for US$ 2.00.* So just try to be generous and give it to other. *Just like what I did.*

Anime Clubs

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:04:00 +0000

Which club will you be joining?

When I was in Highschool, I was part of Journalism club and I had fun for about 4 years in my stay in said club. But because my college days was much occupied compare to my earlier academic years, being committed to various extra curricular activities such as clubs might ruin my solemn involvement in my studies so I did not bother myself in joining any, seriously I'm dead serious in studying! But feeling of regrets is always hunt me whenever I watch anime where activities of a club is highlighted. What If I started a club like The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture, Maikaru's Brigade To Greatly Enliven the World, or Maikaru's Host Club? What would be my life then? So much for my sentiments.

I wondered if I started a Host Club back then. I guess my parents will always have to pay visit in the guidance council office.

So for these week Versus Triple Threat, if your an anime character what club would you most likely be joining in? Will you join and help Haruhi and her S.O.S. dan in their quest of finding paranormal phenomena? Or will it be Genshiken so you can share your Otaku indulgences with other fellow otakus as well? or are you going to write your name in the poster made by Nagisa because you love the big dango family *and start doing some Shakespear's?* Whatever the club I pursue of joining, just the thought of it always excites me! And if ever to recruit other character from other anime, who would that be? Your convincing power is only effective for one.

My Verdict:

I like Kyou and Kotomi of Clannad and If asked by them I'll be joining right away that would be no sweat but acting is and never became my thing. I think S.O.S. Brigade would be a nice choice. The brilliant and perverted mind of Haruhi amaze me so well *Lol* and having a leader with that kind of enthusiasm *enthusiasm?* will be a big factor! I like Genshiken but I find some of their activities quite boring so I rather go alien hunting. No offense Genshiken addicts. But all in all, whatever club you will be joining, that would be a great experience! I will ask Konata to join the S.O.S. Brigade, I always wonder how Konata and Haruhi deal with each other.

Konata after hearing my plead: Let's go hunt some aliens, time travelers and espers!

Anime to Movie Adaptations

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:50:00 +0000

Yes! Cowboy Bebop Movie... summer 2008? Why didn't I noticed it?

This is the first part of my 2 part Post Special!

The above picture is just product of Photoshop and good imagination. Looks like many animes today starting to gain popularity for big screen adaptations. Dragon Ball Movie will be out soon in most of the cinema worldwide. Ghost in The Shell, Blood The Last Vampire, Cowboy Bebop are some of the titles rumored to be also out *I can't check the updates as I'm writing these post but I knew Blood production is already finish and maybe out for next year. Korean actress Jyun Ji Hyun a.k.a. Gianna Jun portrays the role of Saya.*. Don't worry I will not tackle them, I know millions done it already. Albeit I don't know and I don't care much how this will turn out (the anime-movie thing) and since most of considered animes have proven themselves already to me and I say worth the time I'd spend watching them, maybe I care a little just for my reference sake *Like for example I can say that Blood movie suck in the future if ever.* I just wanna ask, Do you like the idea of Big movie productions (e.g. Warners) considering Mech oriented animes (Gundam Series) to have hollywood remake? If Transformers pull this one off, how come not the Japanese robots? You might find these amusing.

Saya: Aha! I got a sword. ~pout~ *The plot is simply: Run,, slash, then run.again.*

If ever given a chance to induce some hollywood minds ~ Code Geass will be my bet. ~These is a no brainer for me as I'm starting to become a Code Geass Retard now. In my next post I will give my Hollywood casting *Really love to do it anyway.* for the Code Geass~Lelouch of The Rebellion Hollywood version. I'm thinking really hard as to where to place Mr. Danny Trejo.

Memories of Childhood

When a girl give you a love letter, how a guy should react?
Image by Mr. W @ Deviantart.com

I'm a man who really despises love. I have no sympathy or whatever you call it despite the fact the Bible told us it is the very essence of God. God is love, not "God is like love" therefore love is his true persona, that makes it's quite vague for me to discern. So now if you just believed what I have just said, I got you. I'm totally opposite of the above, I'm a romantic, i guess some Florence artists blood run through my veins. I might do the same what the song of The Script, The Man who can't be Moved narrates if it all comes to that. That's how I desperately loved love~lol.

I love these post from Mr. Danny's News saying stuffs about "love letters". I reminisced my childhood days *I'm kinda into it since last Sunday after hearing so much Super Sentai OSTs that I grew up with from my friend's mp3 player*. I used to receive bunch of love letters when I was a grader, some says friendly letters but for me as more mature as compared to most students there, never considered them just like that *Their writings were so obvious.*. Not that I want to be boastful about what I've experienced before *I can say I had a bunch of love letters received from different girls~ now I'm thinking quite harem a bit~ giggles.*. I'm just okay when I was a teenager, maybe my innocent looking face drove them crazy ~Wahahah~. Now I'm starting to sound a little overboard. But seriously, I'm thinking maybe if I became a little bit of a slut and exercised my rights to collect and select, I guess I end up like our favorite harem protagonist Itou Makoto. He's character really inspired me and that is why School Days made me cry. Now back to reality.

Kamen Rider Black ~ My favorite tokusatsu superhero, just like me fighting alone.

The ever inspiring Itou Makoto of School Days~ I wanna be just like him!

These is just a senseless upload, don't mind these entry. I will be back as my normal self.

Da Vinci and Yaoi Manga - A Must Read

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:30:00 +0000

The First Yaoi Mangaka, Leonardo Da Vin...sorry wrong number.

Disclaimer: Just ignore the title.

I been reading Da Vinci Code but I can only read it in the bus on my way home *With so much things to do but with so little time left everyday.* and I'm in the 30th Chapter now. *By the way I'm an average speed reader if serious.*These is one of the most clever book I've read so far since Agatha Christie's Novels. *I'm a big fan of Agatha since my grade school days.* While I read, my head goes like, "How the hell did he know that?","I guess Dan is lying here, he can't write stuffs like these.", "Maybe he is the promised Anti Christ!~ Lol " so much paranoia going on. Since my childhood, the celebrated Mona Lisa painting always giving me the creeps. Every time I'm staring at it in the books and magazine *I never had chance to eye it personally ~ that may cause me my whole fortune ~ lol* I had goosebumps. I don't know the reason, I never been afraid of anything but religious images and icons. Then here comes these book telling me that these piece of art has connection to some hidden anomalies and dark secrets. That really will give me the scare before I'll sleep!

Isn't she creepy?

Now you might be thinking, "Why the hell he's talking about these book since the *magic* is not the same as before?", , "Your too late Maikaru! haven't you seen the movie?", "Where have you been all these time?" Yes the sensationalism done by the media to these book has long gone, so if them are over, why me bother?

Enough for my amazement. These post has nothing to do with the book. It's blockbuster material, hands down. It's just funny when people *Mostly my friends* looses their zeal about something they used to worship. *Worship. What a term?!*. I remember when they used to talk about it and man I don't have any idea what they talking about and they forced me to read it like Nazis, but now that I've read it, nobody bothers to keep a conversation about it. Why? Just because it's not the hottest item on earth?

Same with animes, when Death Note came out, all anime enthusiast I know begun to looked like Ryuk! *I mean Light and Misa.*. They're all out with the burning desire to explain and defend why Light was like these but later on went angry at him and had adultery with L. So about the other listeners will start watching it also so they can relate. That is Human Nature. The "I want it first" kinda thing. "Strike whilst the iron is hot." never gotten deeper in my nerves i guess, I don't care if all the people is watching these or that, reading stuffs and brag "I have already seen these and it's cool" maybe with the thoughts "you don't have anything that I haven't done or known yet" ~ *yes I'm a paranoid*. Ironically, someone like me who hates spoilers, never got rushing things just to watch the first *First episode, first 2nd episode, first 3rd episode, first etc."" Most animes I've watched were 1-2 years old before I laid my eyes to them. *But today I can only wait just one more month after a good anime season ends. Still a very long wait though.*. What's up with me again? Nothing serious, just wanna share laughing stuffs. I just want to share my beyond human ability. That may count as one! As an anime addict, some may find it hard to supress the feeling of "I must got it first, I must read about it first, I must suffer everything first~*lol @ the last*" just like falling in line first just to know that the line is for the eternal abyss, just kidding, for the limited edition of your SUPER Yaoi Manga. I HATE YAOI!

I Want My Figures

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 00:29:00 +0000

I command you! Buy us!

This post will also serves as my Versus Post for the week.

I'm not that fascinated by the idea of collecting anime figures. My reasons are;

1. First, they're expensive. I don't have that enough money to spare. *I rather turn my impulsive buying head to other stuff than to spend it for them, that was my point.*

2. I find most figures *the affordable ones* less detailed and their poses are quite boring for me. *That's why you need some grand to spare to avail complex version.*

3. I'm easily get tired of things I bought *Since figures need maintenance e.g. cleaning*

But as the saying goes, "Changes are the only permanent things in life."

Like what I've just said in my previous post, my friends and I went in an Anime Event which was held inside a Mall. After the event, we decided to tour ourselves and that was when I saw Code Geass R2 keychains. So I decided to buy it, but much for my dismay, I noticed that we just need token... and a basket full of LUCK! They're not for sale for god sake! They're only price for these game machine *The keychains are inside this machine with of course token slot, kinda Panchinko but I don't have any idea how to play it.* I want to try but man the line was long for the counter and it was late already.

The one I saw in mall was smaller and cuter but I can't google it.

For some unknown reason, that maybe ignited my passion for figure collecting again. I can say these is my second time around since I used to collect American Figures like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joes, Transformers, Matchboxes and my only Japanese figure was the Jets of Choudenshi BioMan (Bio Jet One & Two) which can transform and become Bio Robo. *I lied! the Bio Jets were from my friend and I remember I am more than willing to trade all of my figures just for that Bio Jets!*. I was desperately pleading to him but he just ignored me.

These was worth crying for!

So from now on, I'm determine to start all over again. Somehow, those cute little things strengthen my resolve. No I'm not exaggerating, that's what I really feeling right now. I'm thinking what should I buy first for my first figure, human figs or mechs?

If your to start collecting figures, what would that be, human or Mech?

If I buy human fig;

1. Others might think I'm a pervert. The likes of Kallen, C.C., Villeta and Cornelia figures with their seductive poses might bring up some issues of my decency.

2. On the other hand, if I buy figures of Lelouch, Light or Abarai Renji somebody might question my gender preferences.

*I'm just thinking too much!* No, I'm just playing dumb!

If I buy mechs;

1. They're much more expensive compare to the other figures.

2. I must exert more effort just by building them. I remember Genshiken's Mitsunori Kugayama sentiments when building them.

My Verdict:

I can't decide for now but maybe I'll go with the Mechs.

My Not So Busy Weekend

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 01:50:00 +0000

I wonder how Shiraishi-san spend his weekends?

Kudos Alas, it's been a short but busy weekend for me! No, I'm just kidding, I never been busy when weekends and that's why I always looking forward to that! But work is, yes I also look forward and I really love *My head hurts* work. I love doing company's *I feel sleepy right now.* stuffs. Enough with these already! See what has been my weekend that i brag so much about. Don't worry these is short.

My workplace for the past 12 months now. The reason why I love these place!

Saturday

From a very late sleep I managed to woke up, of course, late in the morning! After my usual heavy breakfast *I never skip breakfast cause Man I need my carbs for the rest of the day.* I sat in the sofa and watched *Not that serious.* Dragon Ball Z rerun in the TV *Here in the Philippines, they still broadcast it every weekends and it is in the Majinboo Saga now.*. Then I decided to sat in the front of my computer, opened winamp with Jpop Playlist playing, moments later played Warcraft 3 Defense of The Ancient and NBA Live 08. After that I watched some episodes of Lucky Star, you can start watching it from any episode without missing any part of the story, kinda Standalone Episode. It's not kinda renzoku, so it's okay to start anywhere. I never skipped the opening theme, sort of addiction to me and perhaps one of the reason I still watch it but the ending song, I don't care about it. But one time, I guess maybe I'm destined to see it, I happen to saw the segment where the real Shiraishi do some funny stuffs and sings Hare Hare Yukai, Miracle Mikurun, and Motteke Sailor Fuku, and other songs I don't know and was really hilarious. And finally I turned to the real thing, I watched Code Geass R2, I opted to wait for the season to end before giving it a shot and it did not disappoint me. I begun to love C. C. even more and Rolo's, brotherly love! Wow! *These is blasphemy. no these is Yaoi!* So I guess I spent that day on my computer for about 12 hours *Not straight cause I need to eat and stuffs, that's why I need my carbs by the way.*

Sunday

AniCon 08: Anime, Console and Online Gaming Event.

Sunday always irritates me, cause it only means I only have a whole day to finish what I need to do before I go to work for the next day. But yesterday's Sunday is a different story. My friends and I went to AniCon, an event where gamers and anime enthusiast alike gather together to play hide-and-seek! Nah, you know what it is like. One of my friend who is so into stalking cosplayer, kinda scary you might think, got me into this as we always walking slowly behind cute cosplayers then will ask for their pictures! Hahahah. So our main objective there is to get as much pictures as possible in the during Cosplay Contest Event proper and Post-Contest where we can pose with them with all our glory. Filipino Cosplayers are very kind and they are always attentive to everyone who's asking for their photos. I feel sorry for them because before contest, they're waiting, standing in the line until the event crewmen finished the set and everything was seem to be in disarray. But all in all, a nice event, so many cute Cosplayers and gals, I even endured it without eating my "proper lunch" because of my "I might miss something" feeling when going out of the venue keep bothering me.

I guess I can feature here some of these anime-related events happening here in the Philippines in my future posts out from my spectator's point of view.

My friend and Maikaru (left & right) with Discordia cosplaying Misa Amane.

That's how my weekend came to an end, but before I went sleep, I managed to finished 4 episodes of Code Geass R2, even though my body is crying and pleading to just lay my head in pillow and watch it tomorrow.

Eat All You Can't!

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 07:23:00 +0000

It's Holiday so we must celebrate! Eat! Itadakimasu!

Here in the Philippines, the government declared Wednesday as a Non-working holiday to give way the celebration of our fellow Muslim brothers' Eid’l Fitr or the end of their month long fasting. But our company gone nuts and moved that holiday on Friday so we can have much longer weekend vacation. Yeah, I've got their point but I prefer not waiting any longer to have my long sleep.

So Wednesday had come and because it's Holiday, few people took the train and I came to work without visiting our HR Department.*I'm always late in a normal day.* Not much work, since government offices were close, I'd only surf the net until our boss decided to treat us to lunch. Free Lunch! I've gone berserk just by hearing the news.

We were all set and ready to hit the road of delicious foods (we are in a eat all you can treat by the way). I took my plate and put all nice looking dish in it. So we eat, eat, chat, eat and eat *What else to do?* I finished my food and felt I'm done with eating and I'm stuffed already, but after 10 minutes, I hit the road again like it was my last. What's with that? I gone dieting, deprieved myself from too much gullotony cause wahaha my belly says it all but here I am let my guard down and let my enemy take over me!

Son Goku: Yes we can eat beyond what you can do!

I'm starting to envy anime characters like Son Goku of Dragon Ball, Kiohei of Yamato Nedeshiko, etc. They can eat all the food in the world in one sitting without having to suffer the consequences of having bad physique, obesity! I love food, you love food, we all love food, but why we must not commit ourselves too much? Damn obesity! Animes are not fair! (Of course, why did I ask that? Stupid!)

Anime Mediocrity?

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 09:14:00 +0000

I been more of an online reader these past few days, reading various posts and sensible rants around the blogsphere. As I'm doing such thing *take note* at work, ONE SUBJECT has been buggling my mind ever since, actually it has been on my mind long long ago, back when I've started researching about the anime titles before I buy, reading reviews about them from anywhere across the web just to satisfy my curiosity. Anyway that subject is; Anime Mediocrity. How can you say that an anime is mediocre? I just don't get it how other people rate certain animes to be no good at all? Same goes when someone talks good about it like the *best of all time* kinda praise so you begun wondering, why they came up with these? Do comments like that stop you exploring the other territories of anime 'cause they just say you shouldn't be wasting your time?

I find it funny when people talking like "unfortunately they didn't...", "very typical story of...", "I find *character's name* quite boring...", and "the sounds? oh you should just skip it..." and by factors like that animes are graded. What really should be in an anime you might think? Do reviewers should stick with pointing out that animes should have killer storyline/plot? Do characters be well designed and got these *out of these world* character developments? Does the music should drag your soul out from it's container for a moment, and after that will create song syndrome that will make you hum it in front of your angry professor and make him swear your ancestors?

Take for example Naruto and Bleach. Many anime bloggers are united in telling that Naruto and Bleach are bad, too bad that we shouldn't be watching them at the all. Their plot are simple *having these guy who will be the hope of mankind* and I feel sorry about that. Yes, they're suffering from "oh man I've seen those kind of thing" stuffs but who's not? It's been decades ago since the first anime was made and since then, the evolution of story became pretty significant. Plots have been recycled million times and were just enjoying some "little innovations" that these animes have inserted to give us what we'd all enjoying now. Sure some animes might serve entirely different things from what we are used to but that doesn't come very often and should not affect what we perceive others. Just like Music, lyrics have just been retold in different ways many times, the musical notes have just been rearranges many times, the way the instruments were played and stuff that if we will listen to it closely is just the same thing but still, even that said we're fond of Music and never stayed out of it's water.

I once wished that Naruto gone Shoujo instead! Hinata is FTW!

More girls from Naruto

Of course our babes from Bleach

Think about the list below;

Storyline/Plot : Lucky Star, Doraemon, Yakitate Japan
Animation: Slam Dunk, Ranma 1/2 (just outdated)
Character Design and Development: The Ultimate Survivor Kaiji
Music: Lucky Star

What's my point?

That even though these animes lack some substance (example: right storyline for Lucky Star), they're still...if your an anime lover you know exactly what I mean.

School Rumble has the tendency to compromise the plot just to make us laugh sometimes.

I remember watching Trinity Blood, and just by the first episode i had fun and decided to continue watching and man I fell in love with it. Even though I find some areas vague, I'm satisfied as anime fan. *And I do hope they make sequel* But if I say I've read it's review first hand, maybe I gone the other way, just forget about it and not be able to experience what I've experienced when I watch it. The bottom line is, reviewers doesn't really know what really interest you. But that must not work cause "ultimately, different people have different needs so different animes suit different people. It’s that simple!"

Trinity Blood is such a waste?

My Verdict

Just like what I've said, to create one of a kind anime is very though nowadays and to do such may compromise the whole thing. Some may can't fully understand the difficulties and might end up labeling an anime mediocre in the process. Needless to say, you watch or don't watch them because of so many different reasons, but either way you still have the final say and nothing should take that away from you. Final thoughts? There's no such thing as mediocre, you should just think "They just don't like it."

Lelouch Versus Light

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 01:49:00 +0000

Zero or Kira?

Another week has passed and that also mean for me to post my second Versus post. I've been thinking of what should be here after the first where Shana had the upper hand against my bet Louise through survey in Mr. Danny Choo's site. So after anime characters why not repeat it with another characters? So I thought about continuing these with Yagami Light & Lelouch Lamperouge.

No, I'm not going to ask if who's the most handsome of the two. I don't want to sound gay by doing that. Yes they're a kickass combo if we're going to talk YAOI! Eww! Just Kidding. Alright the subject is, who's is the most powerful, Light or Zero?

Powerful? I'm not just limiting these with their used of Geass and Death Note since I think Light would have some advantages over Lulu. But what I'm trying to imply here is; who is the most efficient when it comes utilizing their "resources". Not just their power alone, it can also be their logics and analysis, human manipulation, deception, and even sacrifices that they did.

It has been a diffucult debate for myself to decide who's the best since the creators has been brilliant in manifesting the kind of characters they want the viewers to perceive of them. Since I saw Death Note first, I thought Light has been the most wicked protagonist so far but then here comes Code Geass which is reminded me of Death Note, with Lelouch doing some tricks similar to Light actions . And after the first season of CG, I found many similarities between them. Both are designed to seduce the girls and gays, with the help of their kickass hairs! They both have alias; Kira and Zero. They became, as for me, cold blooded killers and chaos makers but hailed by most their hero. They have "partners" to whom they've gotten their powers. They will also do whatever it takes, even to kill their close someone just to stay unbusted.

Behind Every Success of a man there's a Monster or a Weirdo?

My Verdict

We all know Light died and we still don't know what will gonna happen to Lelouch as the second season is still on going but even though I can't rank one of them higher than other but my vote would be for Lelouch if . He has the power to manipulate girls. Yeah think about it, think about the babes of CG, using it to command them to love you, wouldn't that be cool? And now, how about the death note? You can't use it and write their names in the notebook and do what? Heart attacks? Neh, that would be irrational! And again I'm just kidding.

Update:

Episode 25 of Code Geass might be the last episode for Lelouch to use his Geass and do what the others are calling breathing! Check Dark Mirage's Episode 25 review to see what I really mean.

ToraDora

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:18:00 +0000

One of the interesting upcoming anime, Toradora.

Fall of 2008 will be exciting for us anime lovers. Bunch of new shows will be out soon. No, I will not join the bandwagon of bloggers giving their portion of their brains making predictions and criticisms about the newcomers cause I'm kinda late to do that. But for the latest list of animes and what others have to say about certain shows, you can check out that.animeblogger.net. I saw few familiar titles with their sequels; Nodame Cantabile Paris, Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae, Vampire Knight Guilty, Clannad ~after story~etc. that surely must see and should be in my watchlist.

But as i reading other anime blogs *~memories-of-eternity~* and does some reading to what should and should not be watch, Toradora rung my bell. I've been in so much shoujo lately*I call it Shoujo Overdozed, thanks to my former classmate for recommending some titles and i got hooked.* so I find the story seem kinda common in the sense of it's plot,-one school guy hoping to have a good year in the class-of course doesn't date anybody yet but have interest in going out with one and that's one of the reason he's so pumped up for school-then meet a prominent violent girl that no man would ever fall for since she is scary-definitely not the kind of girl he is dreaming about and as for the girl you never have thought that she will also fall for the guy but as usual setting goes-they end up liking each other. But I have a good feeling about these though. Why you might say? Didn't t you just say it has common plot? Well there are couples of reasons.

I didn't discount what some bloggers are saying about these since I never read the manga and i don't want them to influence me just of yet. And of course i don't want to spoil the anime version. I'll just leave it that way, that the description of Toradora is interesting so I'm going to watch it. Here is much detailed description of Toradora.

Aisaka & Takasu. Takasu, not your typical light novel male lead.

Facts:

Light Novel - Yeah, the usual genre for us teens and those young adults. I don't know if it's a plus but I find the male lead, Ryūji Takasu, is different from your usual weak, indecisive, & bored main character.

J.C. Staff - Producer behind the animes titles like Honey & Clover, Ghost Hunt, Nodame Cantabile, and Ai Yori Aoshi just to name few. It's writer, Yuyuko Takemiya I have to say is good considering her work Watashitachi no Tamura-kun which I find again very interesting. Also Yasu's character design are awesome.

Seiyuu cast - Rie Kugimiya - Rie-chan has been labeled and stereotype as the tsundere's voice since she's the voice behind tsundere characters we hated & loved (Shana & Louise). Maybe it's not a plus factor for Toradora since the main female character which is Taiga has similarities with Shana and Louise thus she could suffer just by having the similarities plus the fact that she now have the voice of Rie-chan. It may create "Oh she's just like Shana, Louise" impression which is not fair considering that she seem to be a promising "another flavor of tsunderekko"character. Although i like her voice, it just that i want to hear others do what she does. Think of Ai Nonaka and Rei Tanaka, wouldn't that be great?

Zettai Ryouiki - Maybe I have these sort of fetish *No I'm not pervert, who are you calling pervert you damn...? It just no man can and will never be able to resist them.* What's not to love about them? It's a fashion statement and loli's are best seen with their "absolute territory" open to public, for admiration.

Taiga Aisaka may look familiar but I don't care. Hot Zettai Ryouki!

My Verdict - Regardless of what others have to say and thoughts about these show, I love the fact that these is another tsundere love story and got my interest just reading it's description. My gut feel is telling me these one is a must see and that's all that matters now. Just like what I've said earlier, it's kinda unique in it's own little way.

Better Tsundere

noreply@blogger.com (Maikaru) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 05:34:00 +0000

Louise Versus Shana

Obviously, this is my Versus post. These will be a weekly basis post *at last I came up with something that I'll be posting for every week i hope I can keep up with it*. Lately I been thinking what I should write since my blog is new and I'm blabbing so much about how excited I am and thought it would be easy but i was wrong! I hope somehow these will save me, at very least. Basically I'll be featuring two from anything, it could be any animes, figures, other otaku stuff, seiyuus, cosplayers, etc. depending entirely to... me of course. From the two I will choose my pick and give my thoughts why i picked that.

For the my premiere week; who is better Tsunderekko? Louise of Zero no Tsukaima or Shana of Shakugan no Shana?

Disclaimer: This doesn't mean that the two are the best tsundere character. I only loved the fact that they have the same seiyuu and my favorite Rie Kugimiya.

What is tsundere? Most anime lovers already know these frequently used term in the otaku community. The term is used to describe a rough (conceited, spikey, combative as wikipedia defines it) personality that later on turns to be a lovely being isn't that sweet?. Most of them slowly develops feeling toward their "partner" and behave entirely different to their initial tough front. There you have it for all who doesn't know yet. Check Wikipedia for more detailed tsundere.

My Pick:

Coming Soon, Much Sooner to what you expect. Neh...
