What is up, transgendered Bronze Saints with wet vaginas? ....... My apologies.

It's been a while. I've been busy with college and stuffs. I'm on my last week until Summer break, so I'll be able to post more. Isn't that JUST. FUCKING. GREAT?!

I've watched a few anime. Here you go.

Dance in the Vampire Bund - We finished the whole thing. I like how Mina is arrogant, but occasionally gets put into her place (kind of, but not really..) The twist near the end was interesting. Unfortunately, the anime just ends with loose ends. They could have made a second season to wrap things up, but they haven't so far nor do we know if they plan to. We watched the English dub, and it was pretty good. Monica Rial and Eric Vale did a good job with their roles. I liked how Mina wore a different outfit each episode. The school uniforms were also sexy, which goes without saying.

Eden of the East - We (anime club) finished this one too. Well, sort of. We watched all 12 episodes and the first movie so far. We are going to watch the second movie on Thursday. I really liked the anime. The story was very good and it kept me interested. Akira Takizawa is a pretty smart dude for having lost his memory. The dub was also good. I highly recommend it.

Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - I finally finished it. The series was mostly fighting, but it's more about the characters and less about what's actually going on. The voice cast was also nice. Takahiro Sakurai and Ryusei Nakao were both in it. My only gripe is that the series ended. I mean, c'mon! Seriously? This isn't a TV anime. It's a freaking OVA! Aren't they supposed to have higher budgets? Oh well... Here's hoping for a third season.

Saint Seiya Omega - The new series started, and so far, it's pretty good. It seems to have more story to it than both the original and Lost Canvas. Again, it's more about developing the characters, but it's still pretty good. I was skeptical when I heard that Hikaru Midorikawa would be playing Koga, but after I heard his performance, he sounded good. I'd recommend it if you don't like Saint Seiya.

Fate/Zero Season 2 - My favorite anime from last year picks up right where it left off. The anime is just beautiful. It could pass off as an OVA or maybe even a movie. The voice acting is also top notch. No one gives a dull performance. The music is also good and intense. Even though I already know how it all ends, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

Fate/Prototype - It was okay. It was essentially a 12 minute trailer for what could have been Fate/Stay Night. Takahiro Sakurai did a good job for what few lines he had. The feature didn't start off well with me when they showed the Saber's servant attempting to decapitate a bird. Harming animals is a no-no. Seriously. I hate that. The designs for the servants were good, arguably better than how they are in Fate/Stay Night. The subs I watched with, however, were terrible. It was as if they were translated using Google Translate or something. They got the point across, but the grammar was off. There were some interesting ideas, but I'm glad Fate/Stay Night turned out the way it did.

Saki Episode of Side A - My favorite school uniform wearin', lesbian lovin' anime started up with a weird spin-off/prequel combo. From what I've gathered, Episode of Side A takes place both before and after the first anime series. They throw so much at the viewer is the short amount of time each episode has. I swear, it's like they wanted to make a movie, but were told not to. The pacing of the series makes everything seem more intense, which I suppose is a good thing. So far, there hasn't been any lesbian stuff, but this is Saki we're talking about, so it's bound to happen at some point...

Inu X Boku SS - This one is a breath of fresh air, in a way. I'm not sure why, but watching it relaxes me. Ririchiyo is such a bitch, though. I get that she has a reason why, but every time she acts like a jerk it comes off as being forced. I feel that it's more of a flaw with the voice acting than anything else. Her actress is a good actress, but she doesn't do a very good job of making Ririchiyo's "bad habit" sound like a relfex, which is what I think they were trying to do. Soushi is funny. I like how he is so understanding and forgiving of Ririchiyo. I also liked Ririchiyo's wardrobe. I don't know why she thinks wearing a white lad coat to school is cool, but whateves. I haven't finished this one yet, but I'm half way there. I'll keep watching.

Recorder and Randsell - This show is wonderful. I love the silliness of it all. Even though the episodes are short (very much like Morita-san wa Mukuchi, who makes a cameo), they are filled with gags and interesting story bits. Ryotaro Okiayu does a FANTASTIC job playing Atsushi. He makes him sound like a child, even though he is clearly in the body of an adult. Okiayu even talks like a child. Some of the best Japanese voice acting I've seen in a long time. Oh, and Takahiro Sakurai is in it too.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - I know this isn't an anime, but it's good, dammit! Nick, AJ, and I started watching it on Netflix, and I was hooked. The animation is so fluid, it's super pretty. The voice acting is also good. My only gripe with the acting is that I feel Rainbow Dash sounds too exaggerated. I think Rarity is my favorite. I've had a boner for arrogant, pompous girls ever since Holo from Spice and Wolf. The songs are also kind of cute. Even though the plot and lessons of each episode is cliche and predictable, it's still a fun watch. It's just a light-hearted series for happy people.

That's all the anime I've seen as of late. Now onto games. I think I'll try doing a similar format.

Dark Souls (PS3) - I've made even more progress. I beat Gravelord Nito and the Four Kings. I was thinking about doing Lost Izalith next, but the Demon Ruins proved to be a little tough. I got to the boss, but he does a crap ton of damage. I think Dark Souls is best played in small chunks. I think I'm going to grind some levels and stuff. With that said, if anyone needs to do the Depths, let me know. :D

Warriors Orochi 3 (PS3) - This game was good, despite being 11GB worth of space. There weren't any English voices, so I had to get used to the Japanese voices. Takeshi Kusao did a good job as Yukimura Sanada. I still stand by my view that Kayuza Nakai doesn't fit Xiahou Dun, but I can see what they were doing with it. Nobunaga also seems to like to add "-zu" at the end of half of his sentences, but I assume that it's some Japanese The game is just like the previous ones. I skipped Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends, so I got a chance to use the enw version of Xiahou Dun as well as the new characters like Pang De (I know he's not technically new, but whateves) and Guo Hia, or whatever his name is (Cao Cao's strategist.) The banter between the characters is also interesting. If you are friend's with me on Facebook then you've probably seen some quotes here and there. My team is currently Xiahou Dun, Muneshige Tachibana, and Nobunaga Oda. Good game, I just wish that it was an actual retail game for PS3 instead of being on PSN only. Xbox owners are lucky, as is the rest of the world.

Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave (PSP) - I know I've been quiet about this one, but I've actually been playing it a good amount. I'm on Cheria and Asbel's story. I think what I may do is beat all the serious scenarios and then do only the silly ones that I like, such as Flynn, Luke, and Asbel. Nick wants to borrow it, so I'll probably do so and move on to something else.

Voice acting is the usual. I turned in my lines for both Mermaid Melody and Fate/Stay Night Abridged. I got feedback on Mermaid Melody, so I redid the one line. I talked to Syclone after sending in the Shirou lines, and he seems to have liked them. I haven't heard from him in a while, so I don't know if he wants me to redo them or not.

That's pretty much it. I don't know what else I can say. My Summer is coming up and I hope that everypony has a good one too. ;)

Good evening, hot blonde bitches. I'm starting to run out of names to call my viewers.

It's been a while. How are you all? I'm good. Tired. I'm ready for summer. Thankfully, my school year ends in April. I plan to be worthless for a good few months while I rest for next year.

While I'm at it, I should note that I made a Facebook page for my dog, Charlie. It was intended as a joke. It's one of those jokes where if you don't find it funny you simply don't understand it. Friend Charlie, if you want.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003635598130

Anime wise, I haven't done much. I finished Hetalia with Nick and AJ. I don't care what anyone says; Hetalia is a funny show. It's beautifully racist. No race/country is save from being made fun of by Hetalia. If you are sensitive or "ignorantly proud", then  Hetalia probably isn't for you. On the flip side, watching Hetalia can teach you to take things with a grain of salt and learn to laugh at yourself. The outtakes from the movie were hilarious. Season 3 had outtakes too, but they weren't as funny. My favorite episodes were the ones involving Japan and America. I find it interesting to see the two countries in human form interact, since American and Japanese culture are very different. I recommend it if you enjoy history.

I've been doing a bunch of games. For starters, I've been playing The Sims: Medieval on my PC. It's pretty fun. I named my kingdom Derpshire. The dialogue is funny and the game is just fun to play. I also finished the English version of Radiant Mythology 1 on the PSP. I never finished the English version, and I'm glad I did. I feel complete now. More importantly, I started up Dark Souls again. I actually made some progress. Not only did I beat all of Darkroot but I also beat Sen's Fortress and Anor Londo. I also beat the Skeleton Dragon guy and got the sword and shield there. I plan to use the sword, called Astora's Straight Sword, as my main weapon. I need Twinkling Titanite to upgrade it, though. I'll have to head back to Anor Londo to get some. I also got Tales of the Abyss 3DS and Tales of Graces f. Both are good games. I'll talk about them more later.

Voice acting is fine. I did a Sims thing which got me a role as Kaito from Mermaid Melody. I had never even heard of the show before. I saw the first episode, and it wasn't that bad. Other than that, not much else. I still need to do the redos for Fate/Stay night Abridged. I plan to do it this weekend.

That's pretty much it. I'm too tired to type anything else. So bye.

That's how I remember the phrase back in my younger years. Yes, I know it's actually "Catch-up", but I don't give a flying fizzle fushi.

How are you all doing? I'm pretty good. Nothing really major as far as my well being goes. Everything is good right now.

I've been having a few dreams lately. I figured I should share them with you. Naturally, I had two dreams about SoulCalibur V. I don't remember too much about them, besides one that had me playing as Patroklos in a third person action game, kind of like Soulcalibur Legends. I also had a Dark Souls related dream. I get those every now and then, but this one was different. The last Dark/Demon's Souls related dream I remember having is of a volcano fiery level. Ironically, there is a volcano fiery level in Dark Souls. The recent one was me playing the game and trying to beat this one level. I got stressed trying to figure out how I was going to beat it when I suddenly saw another player beating up the boss. See that he was going to kill the boss, I explored for a little bit and found another one of the same boss. Then a slug killed me, and I woke up. Another dream I had literally last night was one of me receiving a sort of Tales of Graces f  limited edition set, which came with a coolio black case with the logo on it, a poster, and some new Tales cards which my mom apparently used in a game and won. I dunno what's going on with my mind to make me dream that. There is also the obligatory anime/video game shop that I have every now and then. Usually, the dream is about Blockbuster and is about either trying to get something they are selling but having to do something other than paying for it, like  write my name or dig up some hole (the two most recent ones) or just browsing the selection to see amazing things. I don't know why I have those dreams, but they make me feel nostalgic in a way that I don't think could be understood unless you rented movies/games in your youth. I also have dreams that I turn into stories, but that's a story (teehee) for another time.

One dream in particular stood out from the rest. I sometimes have dreams that have more meaning to them, or at least I just interpret them as such. This dream was one of them. I'm in a grocery store and I get lost. I don't know how a 19 year old college student about to get his license is able to get lost in a grocery store, but I did and there was no clear way for me to get home. Thus, I had to resort to going home with some girl who seemed to be a junior in high school and her mom. I stayed over at her house for what I'm assuming was a few hours, but it felt like days. My mom and sister came to pick me up, and I left. Apparently, the girl and I had become buddies, so we hugged and she gave me a kiss on the cheek. When I got home, I had one of those weird feelings you get when you've been away from "home" for a while. You've gotten used to the new situation and atmosphere, so having to go back to what your situation was before makes you feel weird. I was prepared to start living with the girl and her mom. Maybe I could help out? Maybe I could do a few chores and such? The feeling I got when going back was borderline sickening. I'm a homebody by nature, but I was getting used to my new situation. The feeling could be called confusion or even relaxation. It's hard to explain. I think the message of this dream was to be thankful for where you are and what you have and treat it preciously.

Okay, that's it for dream stuff. I've been wanting to talk about my dreams for a while, but I held off on it. I guess I was just waiting for the right time.

Anywho, I haven't been watching too much. Lemme tell you all what I saw at my anime club, plus the one show I'm watching personally.

Spice and Wolf - I need to get this on DVD. We watched episodes 3 and 4 since everyone had seen 1 and 2 last semester. The story is interesting, but I don't like how it becomes more like an economics lesson. Still, the show is interesting and Holo is still awesome. I plan to buy the DVD soon.

Wolf's Rain - I remember watching this show on Adult Swim, but I never got into it. Now that I've actually seen it, I can appreciate it a bit more. Johnny Yong Bosch's performance of Kiba is great. I feel like this is the role that got him noticed for that voice we all know and love. Overall, it's not bad. The only thing keeping me from liking it any more than I do is the fear of any puppy killing scenes. I have no tolerance for that kind of thing, and I don't like seeing puppies or dogs getting killed, hence why I refuse to watch Elfen Lied and Ginger Snaps.

Samurai Seven - It was okay. I didn't care about the story. I'm sure the rest of the series will have some cool action, but I didn't care much for this show.

Eden of the East - My impression of this show was the same as it was before. It was pretty good. The story is interesting enough to make you want to watch the rest. Another I need to get on DVD.

I've also been watching Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, but not as often as I'd like. I tackle an episode or two each week. Now I move onto manga.

Dragonball - I'm on the last volume of the entire series. It's a shame that there is no official continuation of the manga, but I still have the TV series to watch again. Surprisingly, I was able to handle seeing Bee the puppy get shot by the blonde guy with the rifle. This was probably because Hercule beats the crap out of the guy. This is probably Hercule's most badass moment. One thing I found was neat was the fact that they took a little time to mention that #17 was resurrected as well after Gohan killed Cell. It has been a great read, and I recommend it to everyone.

To Heart - I read the first volume back in middle school. I never finished it, so I decided to finish it before moving on to Berserk after Dragonball. Not too bad. It's just your average slice-of-life/romance story. Read it if you like that stuff.

As for games, I've been playing the following:

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology (PSP) - I never finished the English version. I'm on the last mission, so I'm almost done. I made a fighter. Playing it now after playing the two sequels makes this one seem better that it actually was.

Soulcalibur III (PS2) - In preparation for SoulCalibur V, I decided to play my favorite. I also figured out how to fix my corrupted file! Yay! Since then, I've been doing Chronicles of the Sword. It's fun an all, but it's really hard too. Hyle is a cheating douche. I hate him. Still my favorite, though. The game is just unbalanced. Extremely.

Voice acting is okay. I got the new script for FSN Abridged, so I'm good to go on that. I offered to play Gilgamesh for the few lines he has too. Hopefully I do a good job.

That's pretty much it. Keep an eye out for new videos on my YouTube channel. Here is a link if you aren't subscribed yet.

By the time this entry is up, I will have SoulCalibur V. Actually, wanna know a secret? I've been playing the game while typing this. LOL! I'll give my thoughts in a video later.

Bye, and may the force be with you, for it is cold outside.

What is up, cunk-a-dunks? I have no idea what that means nor why I said it. Don't ask me about it.

Before I begin, I should note that I made a mistake. No one is subscribed to the feed for my blog. There are some for my gaming blog, but not for this one. With that said, I'm grateful to anyone who reads my blog. I notice how a user named yaminokaitou has commented on several of my posts, and I'm thankful for that. I hope you all continue to read my stuff.

I saw some new anime at my college's anime club. Lemme go over them.

Toriko - It was the first and the last show my anime club showed. It was interesting. Seeing all the food that Toriko eats will make you hungry. His goal in life is literally to make the perfect full course menu. When the anime came out, it took Dragonball Kai's time slot, and I can see why.

MM! - This one was weird. It's about a guy who has a masochism fetish. He likes it when girls beat him up and say mean things to him. He goes to a some therapy club at his school where he meets a girl who appears nice at first but is actually a jerk. She's one of those nice jerks that have a soft spot. She's pretty funny. She swears a lot, and drops the F bomb a few times. I also like the uniforms the girls wear (derp!) I think I might watch the rest if I can. I think Sentai Filmworks released the series on DVD.

Level E - Some alien story. The show had a retro feel to it, even though I'm pretty sure it came out in 2009. Dinn't really care too much about it.

Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - I decided to pick this one back up and finish it. It's pretty good so far. The action is awesome, and Tenma is proving to be badass. He's sort of like Yusuke a little bit. Speaking of which...

Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie & Eizou Hakusho - It finally came in the mail. It was pretty good. It felt like an episode, but because of that, I felt the movie was too short. The acting was solid for the most part. Yusuke kept yelling and screaming whenever he would use his Spirit Gun or when he would get hurt. That got annoying after a while. The original cast from the TV series returned and they all did a good job. The animation also looked good. For some reason, everything looked cleaner and updated. Nick and AJ couldn't tell a difference, but I could. After the movie finished, we watched the English parts of Eizou Hakusho while I watched the Japanese versions on my own. Not bad. I don't see why they couldn't dub some parts, but they didn't for whatever reason. I saved the epilogue thingie for last, since it was an epilogue. I felt it would be nice closure to the series. I'm pretty sure there is a second movie, but I'm not sure if FUNimation will dub it. I hope so.

That's all the anime I've been watching. Now onto manga.

Tales of the Abyss: Asch the Bloody - This is really the only manga I've been reading lately. It was pretty good. It followed the story of the game well, but it was told from Asch's perspective. Everything about it was fantastic. My only gripe was that the story ended on a cliffhanger and that it was only two volumes.

That's pretty much all I've done this past week. I learned what was keeping Fate/Stay night Abridged delayed. We seemed to be lacking actors for Archer, Lancer, and Gilgamesh. If anyone is interested, or knows someone who may be interested, send me an email with a clip of your work. I would greatly appreciate it.

Alright, that's it! Bye for now!

Good morning. What am I doing staying up this late? I don't fucking know.

I apologize for the lack of posts. I've been bust relaxing on my Winter Break (and yes, I capitalized it. I did so because it's important. Sue me.) Stan and Ryo are also making me play DFO with them. The Male Fighter came out, and I promised that I would do a run with them until I hit level 31. Once I do, I plan to never look back.

Before I begin, I just want to note that I've started my NaNoWriMo project. I know I'm late, but I don't care. My novel is about Dark elves and why they have such big penises. Just kidding. You'll read it one day (I hope.)

I passed all my classes. My lowest grade was in my Religion class. I put zero effort in that class. I think my highest grade was Acting 101. I made the entire class crack up with my performance. I was originally going to call Stan during my performance and have him act with me through the phone, but he couldn't make it, so I had to talk to an invisible person sitting in a chair. I was told my students felt as if I was really talking to someone. I think I did a pretty good job.

As for news, I'm feeling kind of lazy. The VGAs and Jump Festa were recent. I heard that the Episode of Bardock anime was being streamed on Bandai Channel. I think I'm going to wait for it to get subbed. Someone is bound to have been recording it for the sake of subbing. As for VGAs, I learned two important things: 1) Metal Gear Solid: Rising is now Metal Gear Rising: Revengance, and  2) Hideo Kojima is a dick. However, that is a story for another day. Tales of Graces f has a release date, and I am going to buy it. Nuff said.

As for games, I've mainly been playing Skyrim. I already gave my thoughts about it in video form. Basically, it's a fantastic game, but the plot doesn't amount to anything, the game has some glitches, and there was no color wheel. I have two files: an Imperial spellsword and a Dark elf twin swordsman. I plan to play the game a little differently with my Dark elf. I killed Paarthurnax on my Imperial file, but I'm going to keep him alive on my Dark elf file. After I do the main quest and save Paarthurnax with my Dark elf, I plan to finish up the Mage's Guild and then move on to Dark Souls. Hopefully I can finish Dark Souls soon, or at least beat Anor Londo. I beat Radiant Mythology 3 finally. It was good. I was playing Ys Seven before, but I let Nick borrow it. I got to the Wind Shrine, but I'm stuck. Anyone know what I'm supposed to do? I arranged the organ thingies to have wind pouring down them, but I don't know what to do next. I'm going to finish Star Ocean: Second Evolution while Nick is playing Ys Seven. I'm near the end. I have to do the Trials. I'm on Claude's story, for those who care. I don't plan on doing Rena's afterwords.

I finally finished Omamori Himari. It was good, but a little cheesy at times. I also finished seasons one and two of Hetalia: Axis Powers. The show is beyond funny. I don't know much about history, but I assume that there are several jokes to be heard. They even poke fun at the cultural differences between Japan and the United States. Eric Vale's performance as America, as well as what he said in the commentary of season two, change my perspective of his acting ability. He is superb. Some might find the show offensive, but that just means that you are either too sensitive or you need to learn to laugh at yourself. Fuck, I make a fool out of myself every chance I get! Fate/Zero and IdolM@ster are still going strong. I believe Fate/Zero is going to be broken up into two seasons, and we are close to the end of the first. So far, it has been amazing. The animation, music, colors, and voice actors are fantastic. This show is practically perfect. IdolM@ster is also good. I like how the girls actually wear different clothes each day. Plus, one of the episodes proves that "slice of life" animes have depth. I recommend it, especially if you are a fan of idol groups, such as AKB48 (who are, ironically, getting their own anime) and Morning Musume.

Voice acting is easing on. I was told that the redo of the script for Fate/Stay Night Abridged was finished and that I needed to record my lines. For this project, I feel I should expect recording twice. Not that I mind. I also got cast as another minor character for the Kobato fandub I'm in. I still wish I had a bigger role, but it can't be helped.

That's pretty much it. I plan to do more videos while I'm on my break, mainly updates on things I missed out on while my account was down.

Enjoy your break, and happy holidays!

Greetings, fellow slayers of the winged lizard! How are you? I'm actually pretty good this time around. School is pretty stressful, but I'm at least not overworked.

Before I begin, I just want to say that I am taking part in National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. I haven't started my novel just yet, but I will soon. I've been exhausted from writing due to having to write so many papers. Any college student will tell you the same.

I got my account back! Yeah! It's about friggin' time, too. Basically, what happened was that Sony Music of Japan claimed copyright on one of the Top 15 DEEN Songs videos. The problem was the fact that it was the entire song. Had I only used a short portion of the song, I would have been fine. They also claimed copyright on a fan-OP that I did using the Tales of Eternia anime and the song Rain by SID. The song wasn't even out yet, so I can understand why Sony would claim copyright on it. Those two claims were legit. The third claim, however, was not. Some association of Japanese music claimed copyright on another one of the DEEN videos. I looked them up, and Sony doesn't even associate with them! I don't know if the group who claim copyright on videos get anything from doing so, but I'm pretty sure Sony would rather do their own work, not have some association do it for them. Those, I filed a counter thing, and got my account back. I also removed the entire DEEN list, the Anime OPs, and the Anime EDs. That way this won't happen again. My Tasuke channel was not just a channel for uploading content, it was also my personal channel. Losing access to that account meant that I couldn't have an account anymore, not with the email I was using. I resorted to updating my second channel with the info I had and the subscriptions that I could remember. I also posted three new videos: one announcing that my channel was down, one about AWA, and another that was just a simple update video. I also downloaded Google Chrome for the sole purpose of accessing my alternate account. I started using it for a while, and then I got my account back. I originally said that I would remove the videos I uploaded during the time my account was down and re-upload them to my main account, but I have decided not to. They will remain on my second channel, but I will try to put up more gameplay videos in order to overshadow the ones I put up during my downtime. Since I have my channel back, allow me to tell you what I have planned for future videos.

GameFly Game Review - This is what the My Thoughts on [insert game I got from GameFly here] will become. I plan to start it off with Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows. In order to avoid confusion, all previous videos in the series will be renamed.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai and MegaMan X Commentary Series - Like the Super Butoden series of commentaries before it, I have decided to do commentaries on all of the Budokai games. This will include Burst Limit. Unfortunately, I will not be able to do the Shin Budokai games, due to my lack of a proper way to record PSP games. I don't want to hack my PSP either, so that's out of the question. As for MegaMan X, I plan on going in a certain order. I've already done X4, so I'm going to do X5 and X6 next. After that, I will do X7 and X8, then finish up with the first three.

In case you are wondering: yes, I will do commentaries on the Budokai Tenkaichi games afterwards (including Raging Blast, Raging Blast 2, and Ultimate Tenkaichi), and no, I wil not do the classic MegaMan series.

Let's Play River City Ransom EX - It will continue at some point. Doing Let's Plays tire me out, so it will be a little while before it picks up.

My Thoughts on Dark Souls, Ultimate Tenkaichi, and Skyrim - This goes without saying.

LifeLine Commentary 2 - Now that I own the game, I can do more videos on it. Nick might join in too.

EverQuest II Commentary 3 - Now that I actually know what I'm doing, I feel that I should probably do another video.

Those are the new ones. At least all that I can think of.

Other than that, I've just been watching anime and videos on the internet. Fate/Zero and The Idol M@ster are the ones I've been watching. I never finished Omamori Himari, but I plan to soon. I'm two episodes away. When I got my account back, I celebrated by watching a Let's Play on Titanic: Adventure Out of Time, a game from my childhood. It was one of the earliest games I can remember playing. My family, and by family I mean my mom and my two sisters (I think my dad may have played once or twice, but generally isn't interested in games), played the game together. Back then, the music terrified me. It just sounded so errie. I can handle it now, I think. I'm planning on downloading a torrent of the game. I have the actual disc, but only one of them (there are two). I'm also downloading VirtualBox in order to play it. I'm pretty sure it won't work on DOSBox. I might do a video on the game.

That's pretty much it. I'll probably do a video update this weekend explaining the things I mentioned here.

Good night, mon ami!

What's up, all? How are you? I'm alright, just a little pissed off. You'll soon learn why.

To start off, I was at AWA last weekend. I had a blast. It was nice being in a place with so many anime and video game fans. No one would judge you based on your opinions and such. I think there was even a guy wearing a white gothic lolita dress! No one cared. I sure as heck didn't.

Naturally, I took some pictures of several cosplayers. I'm not picky on how well the person looks in the costume. I only cared about cool costumes.


There were other Tales cosplayers, but I didn't get a picture of all of them. I saw a Luke, Guy, Jade, Yuri, Dist, Leon, Lloyd, Estelle, and Asbel, as pictured above.

There were two things that made this trip for me. The first one happened on the first day.


Yes, that's me. Yes, that's Vic Mignogna. He seemed to be a nice guy. I showed him Fullmetal Alchemist 3, and he signed it. He asked me if it was "Dream Carnival", which I replied no. He acted surprised, but I don't know if it was just that, acting. One thing I liked was that, apparently out of instinct, Vic opened up the game case and signed it with a silver sharpie, which is exactly what I wanted. I was expecting to have to ask if he could sign the inside, since I've seen celebrity signing videos where they would take the cover out and sign it. It was nice meeting him.

The second thing that made the trip will make certain people awe. The following photo is a testament to the statement that the Dealer's Room is basically Ebay in physical form. Warning: if you receive an erection from the following photo, I am not to be held responsible.


OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I got a copy of Phantasia on the Super Famicom. I was planning on getting a copy for collecting purposes, but I saw it, and my mind was blown. Literally bent over and screwed over. Among other import/rare games I saw were a Rurouni Kenshin fighting game for PS2, Tales of Xillia, Clock Tower for the WonderSwan, Star Ocean for the Super Famicom, Battle Stadium D.O.N. for the PS2, and Berserk for the PS2.

Other than that, I went to some panels. The first one was Anime Hell, which was hilarious. I also went to the FUNimation panel, where they revealed that they were doing the new .hack OVAs. they also cleared up the whole Geneon thing. Apparently, they haven't finished the merger with Universal Japan yet. Once they do they are supposed to tell FUNimation what to do with the titles they have from Geneon. Other than that, they just showed off some trailers for shows they were dubbing.

I saw some anime these past few weeks. I'll also mention the shows I watched at AWA.

Fate/Zero - I almost forgot about it, but luckily I didn't. Aniplex did a simulcast for Nico Nico Douga in several different languages. The animation was crisp, and Saber gives her trademark line at the end of the episode. When the episode opened, my mind was once again blown. They revealed who Kiritsugu Emiya was married to, whom I won't spoil. The episode was pretty much everyone preparing for the Holy Grail war. Some good news is that Fate/Zero will be on Crunchyroll, so I won't have to pay to watch it.

Spice and Wolf - I was surprised. This show was actually really good. I love Holo. She is awesome. I love her voice too. I believe she is voiced by Brina Palencia. Fantastic job! To think that she is also Chaotzu!

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - I had heard good things about this show, and I can see why people like it. The designs for the monsters are interesting, as it's not animation, or at least not anime animation. Like Saki, this show suffers from lesbian teases here and there. The images I found on the webbernets don't help either.

Oriemi - This one was weird. It's about some guy who figures out that his sister is an otaku who plays little sister video games. That's pretty much the gist. Would have been better if the sister character didn't look like my sister.

Rurouni Kenshin OVA - I finally got a chance to see it. Pretty good. It was the first time I had ever saw the Japanese version of Rurouni Kenshin. I see what they were doing with Kenshin's voice, but it doesn't sound right. I prefer the English version. I found it interesting to learn about Kenshin's past. I can actually sympathize with him a little more. It made me want to watch the anime again.

King's Thorn - I had never even heard of this series. It was pretty good. I'm not really one for apocalyptic series, but tthis one was interesting. The story was sort of confusing. Kind of like Inception.

As for gaming, well, Dark Souls. It finally came out, and guess what? It's friggin' hard as balls! The enemies actually have brains and know what they are doing, so they don't follow an exact pattern. You may have to form up a strategy for every enemy you face. Simply doing trial and error won't work. I almost get a King's Field feel from it. The setting is very grim and dark. The music is also good. Very good, actually. Overall, the game is good, but can be pretty cheap at times. You may have to grind a bit to get anywhere. I only reccomend it if you are a gaming pro or have long hours to kill.

That's pretty much it. I at least don't know what else to talk about. I'll see you guys next time.

What is up fellow champions? How are you all doing? I'm fine.

I recently downloaded the LiveJournal app for my IPod Touch. I thought it would be cool if I got it so I could write entries on the go. I imagine using a tablet or a client for my laptop would be easier, but I look at my IPod as my mini-computer, so I think it is fitting.

That's really all I wanted to say. I'll see you guys later! You can expect these IPod entries to be a good bit shorter than my usual ones.

Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

Hello, everyone. How are you doing?

I'm alright. My YouTube account was suspended due to getting three strikes. The first strike was legit, but the second and third I feel are not right. I've sent an email and a counter thingy. I'm also going to send a letter. I'd rather not talk about this, so I'm going to change the subject.

Firstly, it has come to my attention that some people follow this blog. Yeah! According to the RSS Feed, which I completely forgot I even had, two people are subscribed and follow my blog. I just wanted to say thank you for taking time out of your day to read my blog. My writing and grammar aren't perfect, but it pleases me to know that there are people out there that enjoy what I have to say.

I got a chance to watch some new anime at my anime club. I also gave an anime a try on my personal free time.

Chaos;Head - Not bad. The girls were attractive, and I like their uniforms. However, the story didn't make much sense to me. This is due to the fact that the protagonist is an otaku who plays an MMORPG and collects figurines *shudder*. He is often seen in his "room", which I put in quotes since he practically lives in some weird cellar box, with his favorite anime character in a sort of hologram form. This leads me to believe that he doesn't have any concept of what's fiction and what's real. IT really makes you wonder if what happens is actually happening, or if it's just in the protagonist's imagination. Some might consider this a brilliant plot point, and it is, but it's straining for me. I'll probably only watch it if the club watches it.

Clannad - This show is extremely popular. I enjoyed it. We watched the English dub, and it was really nice hearing David Matranga as a different character from Orphen. It had a nice story, and I would love watching it again.

(Quick side Note - Yes, I know there is going to be a new Orphen book, and that he is going to be in a new game called Heroes Phantasia.)

Blue Exorcist - Initially, I tried to avoid this show, since it dealt with religious matters, but once I watched it, I was impressed. The show made Christians look like badasses. They took out bad guys in seconds with cool spells. I didn't like the Satanic themes that were in the show, but overall, it was pretty good. Besides, the fact that the main character is a demon who wants to basically fight for Jesus Christ is pretty epic.

Saiyuki - This one I watched on my own. I've always been interested in Journey to the West, and Chinese mythology in general. Once again, David Matranga was in it, but what made this show so funny for me was the fact that the main character's name was Son Goku. Yes. No, no, your monitor is not crapping up, his name really is Goku. Even though the show is based off of a Chinese story, the Japanese names are used, which is why Son Goku is not called Sun Wukong, although I think calling him the latter is more fitting. Goku is based off of Wukong, and just from this anime alone, I can already see the similarities. For one thing, they both love food. I'm trying to get Nick to watch the first episode to get his input, because I'm thinking about buying the first series on DVD.

Also, I'm going to AWA this year. This will be my first anime convention ever. I'm just going to go as myself. If anyone is going, and wants to meet up, shoot me an email at flamzeron@gmail.com and I'll give you my number so we can meet up at the convention. I will be bringing my PSP and 3DS, so we can do multiplayer if you want.

TGS apparently started this week. GameTrailers is already on top of things, and is uploading new videos by the minute. One interesting thing to note is the Fire Emblem 3 remake for the 3DS. Of course, there is also the Final Fantasy X remake for PS3 and PSVita. For me, however, the biggest reveal was the Ys IV remake for the PSVita. AWWW YEAHHH! This game looks friggin' awesome. Adol looks like a stud. I now have a reason to buy a Vita.

Obviously, I've been keeping with with the Tales news. A remake of Innocence for the Vita, and Tales of the Heroes for the PSP was revealed. I don't care that much about the Innocence remake, but Heroes looks interesting. We don't have much to go by, so we'll have to wait on any further news.

As far as personal gaming go, I'm still playing Radiant Mythology 3. I'm getting tired of playing it. I'm tempted to switch to a different game, but I've been told I'm close to the end. I've also picked up Dead Island. It's an okay game. Naturally, I'm playing as the Korean waitress. I don't know what else to say about it.

Voice acting is stale. I recorded all the lines I needed to. A Tales of the Abyss fandub popped up, so I think I'll audition for Luke and Asch.

That's pretty much it. I'll see you guys next time!
