Anime, Japan and Garuda

July 25, 2010 | No Comments Posted

Life... is going pretty well for me. Nothing bad to say except for the fact that my car is still busted; I still owe the university 1.5k; and that I haven't exercised in two months. Overall nothing too serious. However, there are also major ups in my life and I guess thats what the main topic about today's blog will be about.

Anime

Now considering the fact that I'm on this site, it's pretty safe to assume I'm a fan of anime. And I must say that 2010 has not dissappointed me so far. Although Angel Beats' ending kinda threw off my groove. BUT! I will not let that lead my passionate soul into ruin! The Winter 2010 season possibly made me for the first time actually consider being gay about a male character. Baka to Test's "hidden suprise" support character Kinoshita Hideyoshi. My instincts then gave way to another favorite of the winter season, Hanamaru Kindergarten. Produce by Gainax its one of those shows that you watch, and then you demand a figure of every cosplay Hii-chan. When I heard that Kugimiya Rie and several other of my favorite seiyuus where cast in Ladies vs Butlers, I knew I'd love it. And it was true. Several other releases also made this a very busy season. Hellsing Ultimate Vol. 7, Aki Sora, Katanagatari, Halo Legends and Dante's Inferno.

Spring followed up with another massive dose of favorites. Heroman, a combine effort from Stan Lee and studio Bones was a suprise with its characters and settings being all American. Something that you don't usually see in anime or manga. Angel Beats was a product I slowly was pulled into. With the media comparing it with Haruhi and even one of my friends ranting about how awesome it was. I must say that the show up to the last episode was really well done. Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maou, the harem anime, the first episode almost had me believe that this was going to be something similar to Zero no Tsukaima. Oh, how wrong I was. Besides the blatent fan service and cenorship, I honestly loved the characters. Working! Another one of those anime where you see the cast and have a gut feeling you'll like it. Yes, yes I did. K-ON season 2... if you watched season 1 and loved it... well theres no need for words then. KissXSis, I pretty sure the phrase "Incest is best" is right for the tv version of one of my favorite mangas. Unfortunately cenorship got there claws on this one and it was only mid way through the season that I found a slightly less censored version. Gundam Unicorn... a UC Gundam anime? Yes please! I don't care how long it takes I will wait paitently for episode 2 of this OVA. Negima is that last piece of my spring season and it was every bit delicious as the manga is. Also my Evangelion 2.22 dvd is my most precious possesion in my room currently.

I won't say much about the summer season as it is still in progress. However I can at least tell you about the anime I'm currently watchin. Katanagatari, K-ON!, HIgh School of the Dead, Amagami SS, Mitsudomoe, Heroman, Asobi ni Iku yo. Okami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi, Seitokai Yakuindomo, Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~. Oh and Black Rock Shooter just came out today.

Damn talking about Anime really took up alot of my time. So, I just leave it at that and next time I'll talk about my plans for my Japan trip 2010 and how Operation Garuda Shield went.

Back at it again...

Two years since my first blog for the site and not much ha- Fuck it, a lot has changed. From my commander in chief to my addiction with wow, the world around me has changed. Is it for better or for worse, I'll give it another year before I figure it out. Since 2008 I've done many things, went to Germany to help with NATO, went to Japan twice and even got to attend the 76th Comic Market, and was able to kill the lich king. Okay, so that last part isn't true but one day I swear... One day! Anyways back to topic starting with Germany.

Going to Germany was my first trip to the European continent. My unit was on a training mission assisting NATO forces. Thats all I can and will say without going into too much detail cause the anti-terror class we had recently is making me paranoid. Like burn any papers I get from the government paranoid. I think the census was one of them. But I will say this about Germany. Best. Beer. On. The. Planet. And it comes in gallons!

Japan 08/09 trips. Oh Japan... I fuckin love that place. My 2008 trip wasn't anything special. Got a few figurines from Akiba, visit maid cafes, went on tours and got laid at a massage palor... Moving on. The 2009 trip is the best time I had in Tokyo in the past 4 years since I've been going. I mean, I got to attend Comiket, bought doujinshi from the actual circles, saw awesome cosplay, figured out where the best maid cafes where, got a membership card from my favorite hotel, bought myself a SUICA card, went to another massage palor, bought the new Eva Unit-02 movie edition, and got to see my new all time favorite movie. Evangelion 2.0 in theaters. Who cares if I'm not fluent enough to understand Japanese, I know enough to get the gist of it. (Not to sound weird but all of a sudden my depth perseption has failed me...) Hopefully 3.0 will top this and if it comes out in the summer or winter, I'll definatly go and watch it.

My local life has been... Ok, nothing too bad, nothing too good. Wow has been pretty much reduce to Wed/Fri/Sun deal. Tried out the other college on island. Operation Garuda Sheild, now I don't know much about the overall mission but I do know that my platoon will be heading in to build some structures. Oh, almost forgot gonna start up airsoft again till someone buys these damn guns. Until next time, later.

Also I'm gonna start writing again, yea!

Most of this blog will be in regards to the recent advancements DS has made as a... hmmm... I wonder how we should categorize this site. I mean, we do fanfic. So wouldn't that put us in the same regards as FF.net? No, that would be a disgrace to us. However, we put a lot of emphasis on our authors. I mean, look at this, we can blog now. What else fanfic site let's there authors blog? Hold on a sec... -goes to check if FF can let there authors blog- I was right! Haha!

Now, let's see. A few things that is going on with my life right now. My parents are threating me to get a job right now or else they'll throw me out on the streets. I'm scared to find out if there serious or not so I've been looking. Maybe I should just go active and spend my days assisting the rest of the active duty members of my unit. That sounds so boring though. So, I've been checking the hotels mostly and been applying. -sigh- I just wish I could be a hikikomori and just stay home. Well that's all I got for now. Oh yeah, got a FTX in a few days so I'll be heading out. Later.
