Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess

I finally finished my big paper, but I still have two exams tomorrow, so nothing big today. In fact, I'm just going to talk about this coming season.



Haven't heard about any new yuri-ish anime this coming season, but apparently there's another freaking season of Koihime Musou. I'm not sure if I'll watch it yet, but I'll probably end up doing so because of bouncing breasts completion's sake. Actually, on the topic of Romance of the Three Kingdoms remakes, there's another Ikkitousen coming out, which leads me to this question: Should I watch it or not? I'm not a big fan of service + guys (hence why I can watch Koihime Musou even though there's lot of service - there are not, in fact, a lot of guys). However, I do like martial arts, and there are yuri parts... somewhere. Or so I've heard. Actually, following this logic, I shoud've watched Queen's Blade, so maybe I won't end up watching Ikkitousen after all.

For stuff I actually will watch, definitely Black Rock Shooter, K-On! 2, and, uh, that's it. Huh. The rest of the stuff I'll probably not watch/catch up on later. But yeah, back to studying for me... Orz See ya next time!

Oh, and an image for you guys. I was going to use it in my Hidamari Sketch post, but apparently I put it in the wrong folder... Whoops! ^_^;;



Yuri and dinosaurs. Can life get any better?

EDIT: WHERE'S MY SECOND SEASON OF SAKI?????????? That is all.

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!

Geeky As Charged 3

It turns out that the Aria post I was going to make will have to be delayed about a week or so, as I somehow am very busy this week. -_- Anyway, I don't want to leave you guys on a lurch, so here's a Geeky As Charged post!

Today's Geeky As Charged: I went to see a local band and their keyboardist had a KORG Triton series keyboard. This pretty much instantly reminded me of Tsumugi from K-On! Here's a couple pics...





From what comments were posted on these pictures, it seems like Tsumugi's Triton is top of the line. Of course, the one I saw today wasn't. I wish I could remember the exact model... But yeah, that's it for today. See you next time!

Mini-Aria Post

I'm too tired to do a real Aria post with pictures and stuff at the moment, but I had to vent, so have a mini post!

Final Fantasy XIII... Well, sort of.

This post based on what sporadic videos I watched and what sporadic Japanese I know. Please read at your own discretion. If you do not wish to be spoiled, even by a little bit, stop right here and wait for whatever post I do next. Thank you.

Sora no Woto

While I'd rather wait until the season is over or at least mostly over, I'm not watching anything old at the moment that I can review. This means that, in order to keep this blog from being a lonely place, today I'm going to talk about new series Sora no Woto. There's only six episodes out, so far, so there's not a lot I can say about it. There will be spoilers though, so if you haven't started watching yet and intend to, reader discretion is advised. Thank you.

SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILER (And Mahou Sensei Negima)

SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILER

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LATEST CHAPTER OF MAHOU SENSEI NEGIMA. PLEASE DON'T. I'D HATE TO RUIN SOMEONE'S READING. AND IF YOU HAVE OR JUST DON'T CARE, PLEASE DON'T SPOIL SOMEONE ELSE FOR ME. THAT'S JUST NOT COOL, MAN.

Hidamari Sketch

'Sup? Long time, no see, eh? Well, this month is sucky for me, so you probably won't be seeing a lot of me. But it's OK! 'Cause I have watched something yuri~ I don't know why it took me this long to watch Hidamari Sketch. I think it was just that by the time I heard about it, 1) I couldn't find any subs, 2) I was busy... somehow, and 3) I found out that SHAFT directed it and was a little leery of them after they DIDN'T DO THE AWESOMEST ARC EVER IN NEGIMA. GAH! SO. ANGRY. AND SAD. I mean, after Xebec absolutely ruined the first season, I thought the second season would be better... Which it was. But it still didn't have the Mahora Budokai arc, which was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I want to see it animated so badly. T_T But anyway! We're talking about Hidamari Sketch. Yes.

All's Quiet on (My) Yuri Front

*sigh* Besides the continued broadcast of Kobato (YES.), I haven't heard aaaaaaaaaaaaaanything about new yuri stuff. I guess this means it's time for me to rewatch old stuff, huh? Even my manga fixes are pretty scarce. What a terrible season. Also, probably one of the biggest things on any yuri fan's watchlist, the MAHOU SHOUJO LYRICAL NANOHA movie came out a couple days ago, and I have heard nothing about it. T_T I WANT TO SEEEEEEEEEEEE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! Gah.

But yes. Let us move onto my actual point. Today is another Geeky As Charged post! Yay...? *cricket noises*

...I guess I'll just move forward, huh? So I'm taking an acting class this semester and all I can think about throughout it is manga like Skip Beat and Glass Mask. I wonder if reading/watching stuff like that will actually end up helping me...? But anyway, that's it for today's Geeky As Charged! Oh, and I suppose I should put a picture up... Hm. I'm hoping for this in the Nanoha movie:

I know it's unlikely, but a fan can hope, right? ...right...?

Pokémon Platinum

Some good news! There's finally a good DS emulator out there! Hooray~♫ It's for Windows, which sucks, because I have a Mac, but I somehow manage to make do with my Windows... emulator. >_> But anyway. The first game I got on my emulator was Pokémon Platinum! While you might say "What does this have to do with yuri?" you're too naive! Of course there's yuri involved! XD In this case, putting aside any knowledge you (or I, for that matter) have of the Pokémon anime, the yuri couple is Hikari x Shirona (Dawn x Cynthia). I have no idea how they emerged as a couple, just that the fanart of them can be pretty cute/funny. XD Plus, I hear that they get a date in Platinum... Who knows if that's true though.

.....................................*girl is doing research*...........................................

So apparently, the manga is a likely suspect for where this pairing came from (although there is still only a little subtext). I don't really mind except that NO ONE FREAKING SCANLATES THE POKÉMON MANGA. *sob*

Oh well. Have some pictures of the pairing (plus a really cute one I found~):


All right! I admit it! I got a Turtwig solely because of this picture! BUT IT'S JUST TOO DANG CUTE.
