Paranoia Agent 2

In case you missed it, I'm watching "Paranoia Agent" and doing run-downs of the eps here. So of course, spoilers.

Paranoia Agent 1

Reminder: not really going to be funny or anything...

久しぶりです

Hello, long time no post. First of all, I'd like to apologize to anybody who kept on returning to see if I'd written anything. Well, I'm ashamed to say that my fervor for anime had all but died out in the last year. That isn't to say that I hate anime/manga now or anything, but more that I feel that my interests are like a dog with a bone - until a squirrel runs by. Well, a squirrel ran by. It's actually still running around, but I'm trying to get back into the anime groove. I'm currently taking a class where we have to watch "Paranoia Agent" and "Welcome to the NHK," both series that I'd previously started and never finished. Since I have to finish it now, well... In an effort to bring some life back to this blog and so I can remember things, the two main things that are going to be happening here are posts about eps of the aforementioned anime. Good luck to me!

Rolling Girl~

As my anime viewing has gone down in percentage, somehow my 'regular tv show' viewing has gone up. Don't know how that happened... Anyway, since I'd like to keep this blog more anime/manga/game/drama cd/Japan focused, I made a tumblr for myself. It'll have some anime stuff, but mostly I'll probably reblog stuff from other shows and the occasional thought that is longer than 140 charas (in which case it'd go to my Twitter, since I'm crazy and have a million different social media accounts all of a sudden). But yeah. Now there's more ways to stalk me! Orz

And here's some tangentially related media, just 'cause.

Dogeza... m(_ _)m

What's this? It's been six months since I last posted? Nonse-

OH CRAP.

Merry Christmas (belated)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! :D

As a side note, Dynasty Scans are wonderful people. They always have the nicest Christmas presents! :D

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Just a heads up from me:

1. Finally finished catching up to Heartcatch Precure, so that post should be upcoming.

2. Finally started winter break, so more time to post stuff.

3. Finally stopped beta-testing a game, so more time to post stuff... Until I start playing again.

4. Finally in winter break, so Nanoha Movie the 1st post should be upcoming.

5. Finally learned something amazing, so that will be its own separate post. Or maybe part of one of my upcoming ones.

6. Finally ran out of things to say, so obligatory picture:

This picture brought to you by Tales of Vesperia. Because this Rita plush thing is so. Freakin'. CUTE.

Credit goes to this Pixiv artist, or Blowback, according to Danbooru.

Recently, it seems like I've been collecting drama CDs. I don't know why, since I'm not fluent in Japanese. But FUCK. Listening to them makes me want to learn SO. FREAKIN'. BAD.

Also makes me retarded, but meh. Anyway. This post brought to you by Procrastination! Oh, the joys of not doing homework until the wee hours of the morning...

This picture does not do enough GREAT JUSTICE to the amazing-ness of Hayate x Blade. But apparently it's the only volume 3 drama CD picture I have (even though I have at least 3 different pictures for volume 2).

Geeky As Charged 9

Yo!

The next couple of posts will probably just be GACs or other random nonsuch. I was going to seriously do a Heartcatch Precure post next, but I was a fool and took too many screenshots. As usual. So that will be on hold until it actually shows up. For those people waiting for action, don't forget to check out my Twitter feed! It's much fun. But now, to the GAC!

Today's Geeky As Charged is:

More classroom antics. In my philosophy class the other day, my teacher was talking about Kierkegaard and whatever he said in that one book he wrote. I was zoning out as usual but for some strange reason, I kept re-focusing at random times. Then I figured out that it wasn't quite so random: I always looked up whenever my teacher said 'Despair.' If you have no idea what I'm talking about after that last word, watch more SHAFT. Specifically this one. Anyway, after that, the urge to shout "ZETSUBOU SHITAAAAAA!!!" rose a thousand fold.

Here's a picture 'cause I figure you guys like it. What I really like is the Black Rock Shooter reference.

In other news, I spent about an hour making an if-my-life-were-a-video-game playlist instead of studying for one of my midterms. I'm so productive... Not. At least I found out that I have a freakin' lot of video game music...

What's also geeky is that I opened up my emulator version of Super Bomberman 2 specifically so I could take this picture.

That's it from me! Til next time!

Geeky As Charged 8

As a step towards renewing my verbosity in this blog and to keep myself from dying by homework, I've decided that my next new post should be a GAC, as seen in the title.

Today's Geeky As Charged is:

For one of my classes, I have to read some of Plato's works, specifically those dealing with Socrates. It's rather boring, not least because I'm not really interested in this. But one of the biggest problems I have is that the style of writing reminds me of a fanfic I read, called Inter Nos, which is very much in my interests. It's a Mai-Hime fanfic set in a universe very much influenced by Ancient Rome. So as I'm reading these selections, I'm constantly reminded that these people are set in Ancient Greece which just reminds me of the fic and makes me want to read it. Which I shouldn't do because I have a test coming up. So I'll just leave you guys with a random picture. Until next time!

This was a picture I found after searching for 'toga' in Danbooru. It has nothing to do with anything, but it reminds me of Inter Nos, so let's just leave it at that, hm?

Well, This is Awkward

Geeky As Charged 7

It's been a while since one of these happened, huh? Well, as I prepare to marathon what Heartcatch Precure there is so I can get screencaps for you guys, here's a GAC to keep you a little occupied.

Today's Geeky As Charged:

While helping a friend move out, my friend's friend asked for her folder and said, 'Don't look in, it's got personal stuff.' Somehow, I heard, 'Don't look in, it's got Touhou stuff.' I have no idea how that happened, but I still got a little excited... >_>

Later in the day, the same person was talking about Chiba in reference to something I don't know, but all I could think was Chiba Mamoru, a.k.a. Tuxedo Kamen in Sailor Moon. I'm such a sad person.

Something like this would've been pretty awesome.

NOOOOO

I finally finished with my exams and was going to settle down to some anime when what do I find out? Black Rock Shooter is delayed until June! DX I was so looking forward to it, too...

Anyway, as I said, I've just finished my exams, so I'm shipping home tomorrow. After that, I'll be able to start posting again, starting with a new series (and possibly more of the Magical Girl Series). And if I take a few days, please remember, it's all for the sake of the pictures! See ya next time!

This is what I was like during my last exam. Well, not on the veranda, but definitely daydreaming about what anime I'll watch now.

(The post got too long, so I'm splitting it into parts.)

It's a lovely day outside. Birds are singing, school just ended, and generally, life is good. Well, you had a weird dream last night, but you've managed to forget what it was about after the school day. Your friend(s) are all at their club activities, so you decide to go home, change out of your uniform, and go romp around with the neighbors. Except... What's this?! You've found something weird! You:

A) Run away. It could be a bomb!
B) Ignore it. Some kid must've dropped it and will be wanting it back later.
C) J-j-j-jam it in! Are too busy thinking about sex food to worry about things on the street.
D) Pick it up. People shouldn't litter! It's just a hurt animal/stuffed toy/weird toy anyway.

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!

So, April Fools' is over. I'm sure everyone could guess which of those three points I put in the earlier post was a lie, but actually...

They all turned out to be lies. I'm so happy! April Fools' is a great day. :D

Oh, and for something actually related to yuri, at least a little bit, I'm working on a post about magical girls. We'll see how much yuri infiltrates. But till then, I'm going to be enjoying my HxB 6, my Sasameki Koto chp. 31, and not moving to Canada. See ya next time!

Oh, and in honor of the new HxB, have these pics:

I wish I was savvy enough to find HxB fanart... And wasn't lazy.

EDIT: FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. DAMN IT. I FELL FOR IT AGAIN. DAMN YOU DYNASTY. DAMN YOU ALL.

GAH.

It's April Fools' Day. You know what that means?

1. Hayate x Blade is not going to come in the mail. SHIT.

2. FUCK YOU, DYNASTY SCANS. I LOVE YOU BUT I HATE YOU. At least release the next chapter tomorrow... Please? T_T

3. I'm moving to Canada.

If you don't know who Hard Gay is, make sure no one's around and check out his vids. (Seriously. Not safe for work guys.)

Geeky As Charged 4

It's time for another Geeky As Charged! And once again, it's related to a movie I watched. Well, most of it is. This is actually going to be a rather packed GAC, because if I don't do these all at once I'll forget about it.

Anyway, I went out with some family and a friend to a sports restaurant place, and the restaurant, of course, had all sorts of screens up showing different games. The screen in front of me had a basketball game, and just when I paid attention to it, it played a slow motion two pointer that swished nicely. And all I could think of was Kuroko no Basket, a manga about, surprisingly, basketball. There's a character in there who can sink a basket from anywhere on court, and I immediately thought about him when I saw that point. It was pretty sad.

I also went to see the new Alice in Wonderland (fantastic movie, by the way). As it is not uncommon to see things based on Alice in Wonderland, I had a hard time not thinking about Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, one of CLAMP's earlier works and surprisingly has no overt or subtextual yaoi in it AND IS RATHER NSFW. (If you want to see the OVAs made, head over here.) It also reminded me of a... well... Um. It is "famous" in the shadier lands, shall we say. >_> But yes, very inappropriate when you're trying to watch Anne Hathaway glide. Er, walk. Be queen-thingy.

What Alice in Wonderland reminded me of the most, though, was a lovely novel by Robin McKinley. Well, two of her novels, actually. Heard of them? Really well written, and almost yuri if not for the pesky fact that the heroines have to have children, and that universe doesn't quite have magic. Anyway, the two novels are The Hero and the Crown and The Blue Sword. Check it out sometime.

And if you want a preview of Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, please, continue.

Really, it isn't safe for work. See ya next time!

女, 女女, 女, 女女女! 少女!

If you don't know what the title of this post is referring to, go to The Original, then The Vocaloid version. If you've seen it and get all the references, see The Strawberry Panic! version.

Hello, all! The Aria post has been indefinitely postponed due to unforseen circumstances. In other words, my midterms snuck up on me, so now I have to actively focus on them. And since I don't want my flow of posts to completely stagnate (read: I'm procrastinating), today's post will be something more light hearted.

Today's post will be about... GIRLS!

That's right, girls. And by girls, I don't mean those icky real ones that are mean and kinda gross sometimes. No, I'm talking about the epitome of beauty, the wonderful personalities, the hair...! I'm talking about anime girls. Yes, those girls that you watch on the internets and love to pair together with other girls in the same show (or maybe from other shows!). Those girls that got me to see the light and yearn to spread the wisdom of yuri...!

[/sarcasm]

While I will be talking about girls today, rather than the over-dramatized position I gave above, I'm just going to go over my favorite type of girls in anime. The presence of these types of personalities will instantly have me watching the series. Whether I continue watching or not is a different matter. So, basically, this post is just me procrastinating being bored and wanting to update. If you're here just for the reviews, I'm sure Aria will be up... sometime. Now, without further ado, let's go!
