[talk] The birdfeeder of life and death. D:

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:42:42 GMT

Well, here's what I wrote in a custom entry on June 16, 2007:
"THE ROBIN GREW UP SO QUICKLY~ Well, normally.
It was great that these guys were most active during our dinner times. The next day, we saw it here, and then half an hour later, we watched it fly off to leave forever (unless they make another nest there next year owo~). I'll never forget the sight of the parent picking up the chick's droppings right before they fell into the nest .w."

Here, you can see a dead bird on our feeder from a few days ago. No idea how it happened.
The birdfeeder of life and death. D:

You can also see the ridiculous amount of leaves that fall into our yard... and they're still falling. Take it it's amazing we haven't gotten snow yet and it's almost mid-November. (probably just jinxed it). Noooo we're supposed to have a warmer winter this year-- I hope it is!!!

Some cat videos :D

Lol you people, especially JRPG gamers, who chose to get an Xbox instead of Ps3, I feel sorry for you because all the cool JRPGs that get released on there get better versions released on PS3~~~
Trusty Bell/Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4, I'm sure there are many others...
Hmm Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope International PS3 will include dual audio Japanese/English and their release dates are the same... considering getting the US one (cheaper, and I can even do a store pick-up, in the same mall I'm part-timing at~) :o Although if there's no enticing pre-order bonus, I'd rather wait for a super discounted price xD
And are there supposed to be any pre-order bonuses with FFXIII in Japan? Not seeing any. 以外. *confused*

I've been playing Summon Night X: Tears Crown lately though. Good cast and lotssssss of voicing~~~ The one complaint I have about this series overall is that there are too many individual character endings and no healthy person's going to play the game 18??? times just to get all... 18??? endings and see the conversations from all the characters. Not only are there 9 other characters from yourself, but you can choose to be either the boy or the girl, and that changes the conversations with the other 9 characters too! At least I can do the cheap thing with the flashcard save states so I can see the other conversations, and I'm not interested enough in the girl to really play her route at all, I think. XD; Not when JUNJUN'S AROUND \o/

Too bad specifically about this game is that it lacks the humor the GBA games had. buu. :|

Other than that, going to be busy as heck for the rest of month doing lots of school projects/papers, translation projects and STUDYING, ACK

[download] Inazuma Eleven music~

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:21:23 GMT

Flutter Fubuki, flutter

[inazuma eleven]

Zips, all 320kbps with scans (I didn't bother with everything in the Maji de Kansha! CD since a previous release has the rest)

Inazuma Eleven TV Animation Nekketsu Original Soundtrack! Vol.1 (~150mb)
Music by Yasunori Mitsuda ♥

T-Pistonz + KMC - Maji de Kansha! (~42mb)

KMC - H & Maji de Kansha! KMC Version (~40mb)

Some of the DVD extras from the soundtrack: 90mb (password: fubuki)
I'm having some issues encoding certain clips from the DVD that came with the Soundtrack.
Normally, I run stuff off AutoGK for the AVS and then finish things off in megui for h264/aac mp4, but this time, AutoGK kept coming up with color issues in 1-5, 13 and 18... which I fixed by changing "autocrop(mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=10,aspect=new_aspect,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0,leftadd=0,rightadd=0,topadd=0,bottomadd=0)" to "autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=10,aspect=new_aspect,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0,leftadd=0,rightadd=0,topadd=0,bottomadd=0)" (only added "movie," there), but now the videos are interlaced like heck. I tried it on Handbrake too, and it didn't de-interlace either. How do I deinterlace this FILM stuff?~

Opening 2 creditless VOB (password: fubuki)
Current AVS
If someone can help me with deinterlacing in the AVS (the same command will probably work for all the clips), I'll put up the other clips~ (1-5 and 18).
There's non-credit opening 1 & 2 and ending 1 & 2 (unfortunately the karaoke is still on them 8| )... Although HDTV quality is definitely better (and even the scaled down encodes from the HDTV), it's nice to have non-credit versions anyway. #5 is an extra CM, #18 is a fun collection of hissatsu moves. Solved~

And then there are some more Inazuma Eleven music shares from other sources I've gathered, if you want to check them out. Game OST and other op/ed singles are up there.
Be kind to the server! Download one at a time, no direct linking, etc. And no torrents, I'll make a torrent if people ask nicely for it or something XDDD
COMMENT IF YOU DOWNLOAD ANYTHING!!!

Also using this space to declare that I plan to do what I need to do to get the anime subbed, likely after I finish Onmyou Taisenki DVD at ryuu_rogue. +_+

[talk] What else is there to say...

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:20:08 GMT

Happy birthday gokumew2~
Wow, bid for Onmyou Taisenki Seiryuu Zero Drive went up to $45, doubt anyone else is going to bid...? XD;

I made a big pot of soup concoction with tofu, small bits of pork (mostly leftovers from another dish), white lettuce, some kind of frozen Korean vegetable wonton, and a few eggs, with some touches of hotpot sauce and chicken broth... and it tasted like heavennnnnnn XD; Soooo good. Lasted me about three meals hahaha.

I'm very saddened about the cancelling for the Digimon Memorial book and what has me concerned is that HMV and 1999 don't seem to have done anything about it yet. Sigh, what a bad end to Digimon's 10th anniversary .______.; Total flop. I really hope they haven't given up!! I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS. Something tells me CDJapan just lost patience and decided to cancel orders because they didn't want to set a delay date again, which ticks me off because I didn't get to lock the better yen rate for it. I paid instantly for it back in June when the yen rate was still above 100, and now they've refunded it... *hits publishers* They can't just put out adverts like this then not follow through 8|

In the meanwhile, I've got a different order coming from CDJapan that I hope arrives sometime next week. And an AmazonJapan order shipping out Nov 4 to my lovelylovelylovelyproxy Lea you are such a lifesaver <3 Gah, EMS shipping from Japan is so ridiculous these days. One of the readings for my MPA program covered why the USPS is made out of awesomesticks in both price and speed, and it's mostly thanks to profits from stamps and stamp collectors. Now if only healthcare in the country were that awesome too. :|

[talk] LJ meme, game-related blabs

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:54:44 GMT

Updated to Windows 7! \o/
The touchpad now makes my computer do stupid STUPID stuff while I'm typing, so I'm pretty much disabling it... but I do have a habit of using it randomly (even while typing, my free thumb can use it while I type xD), so I'm taking time to get used to that. wahhh. I wish XP mode worked on it so I could use my scanner on it instead of the old one, but this processor doesn't support virtualization, probably because it's a budget line... disadvantage of buying Acer brand. XD;
I also don't care much for the whole window preview thing when you hover your mouse over the taskbar. I have a habit of keeping my mouse down there, so it's not in the way of the screen, but then the preview covers my main window and all that other crap.
Other than that, it's better than Vista, for sure. Faster, feels nicer, etc.

[meme]
LJ meme from repeats
Number of Journal Entries: This one makes 1299. o_o I don't remember, but I did celebrate 1000 sometime back... XD

Person who introduced you to LJ: I joined in through random internet surfing before invite codes were first even implemented. I was keeping a written diary before that, seriously.

Still friends with this person: yes i am still friends with myself 8( <- lol

Date journal created: 2001-04-05

How many people have you introduced to LJ: I haven't kept track. Back when the invite codes were around, I did use quite a few and most of those people are still around.

List everyone on your friends list who you have met in person: oh boy... these are the ones I've meet and spoken to in person at least... there are others who have apparently passed by and we didn't find out until afterwards LOL - hanjie, onkei_kun, coltt creoa, furoraken, harumi, curyuu, jackie26085, ksenour, ladymercurious5, maradori, nikolain, petshopmistress, raphs_mistress, mahii928, rensu, rjhudson, seraphimon_0000, seshy22, umleroi, woquinoncoin, yen_san. Taken a good majority are people I went to school with, but this list is still a lot longer than I always originally imagine. And I'd like to meet more 8D!

Three people on LiveJournal that you have known the longest: Mmm of people who still actively comment onkei_kun, hanjie and and and I guess petshopmistress during the spurts when she remembers she has a permanent account here roflll

Name one person on your friends list you would most like to meet: I WANT TO MEET YOU ALL I CAN'T CHOOSE

Ever ban someone from commenting in your journal: Not that I remember... this surprises me too :D

Number of comments: 10,152 comments received, 9,734 comments posted. My ratio of comments received/posted are definitely closing in because I participate in so many LJ communities and actually reply to f-list posts now. XD;;;;

Biggest pet peeve about LJ: I guess I'll say the occasional elitist wank too. Really, even that doesn't faze me much these days though, unless I'm directly involved? XD My personality avoids confrontation though, so it doesn't happen much.

Do you feel close to most of the people on your friends list: Moreso from the people who actually posttttttttttt and commenttttt because I DO READ YOUR ENTRIES~ I'm just more inclined to reply to fandom-related stuff and the like. The usual~

How many journals on LiveJournal do you have: Only this one, but I've founded 5 communities (2 are completely dead but that's how it is :D) and moderate fukuyama_jun. Yes. It's a pain to log off and on all the time as I do on sites like Gaia, and this one's on a permanent account, so I'll only be sticking to this one.~

Mini bidding war currently going on for Onmyou Taisenki Seiryuu Zero Drive! That auction will be ending early November, so check it out before it's gone~

Digimon Memorial Book is supposed to come out in a few days, will it actually happen this time?!?!? Considering they can announce a new CD collection coming out, they should be working on this right +___+ Can't wait \o/

[talk] Digimon Savers ~Another Mission~ Thought

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:05:01 GMT

Clips of all the cut-scenes I captured with my USB capture card~ Download here (~700mb, tell me if you yoink~) and the password is seibaazu. x264 mp4 files with aac audio (except for one small mpg).
Download the unofficial OST here

Click the color pics for full~

I had a good squee when Masaru stepped in here... XDDD *runs*

The rest under the cut~

MALE RENAMON YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
You know what, that alone would've made this game awesome. XD But I really loved a lot of stuff about this game.

Lalamon... XD

Kagura Tsukasa, voiced by Ueda Yuji.
I was hoping he'd stay a good guy but lost hope as soon as I saw that early scene with Demon. orz
He was pretty predictable after that. XD
IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF TOHMAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. …アレ

The top is... Kosaburo, voiced by Yoshino Hiroyuki!! Yocchin~~ A voice I've started to really like, both his silly and hot roles. This one definitely leans on the silly with his balls jokes. Yes, those balls. XD; And his Piyomon would mimic him, LOL. I almost want to make an icon out of it... because. What did they do in the US version with those?
What a lame excuse to say I've drawn him. I did have something else but I didn't feel like scanning it up.

It was very interesting to hear the story of Nitta though... finally, more DATS backstory! Leaves the imagination open enough for more fandom to work itself in there. Yes, yes.

The rest are all conversations I enjoyed for stupid reasons~ Links go to mostly looong screencaps:
Satsuma's secret
Satsuma: ...
Masaru: ...Captain?
Satsuma: ...
Kudamon: Satsuma is in the middle of a nap.
Masaru: So that's what the sunglasses are for...!

DATS salary (Yoshino spills the meat we all imagined XD)
Kurosaki: This is kind of abrupt, but Kagura-san, are you rich?
Shirakawa: Whoa, she's going after you.
Kagura: ...My salary's normal. :D
Kurosaki: Oh, you don't have to joke around. You always dress so casually well.
Kagura: Hahaha, it's cheap clothes.
Masaru: ...Huh? Is there a salary at DATS?
Tohma: ...Don't tell me you haven't gotten any all this time?
Kudamon: Don't worry. Your salary is being sent to Sayuri's bank account.
Masaru: Why my mom's bank account? Shouldn't it be mine?!
Yoshino: All of your salary would probably go into feeding Agumon and his big appetite anyway.
Yoshino: It works out just right if we pay Sayuri-san directly.
Masaru: Well, I don't like it!
Agumon: Aniki, it's fine. I'm happy just being able to eat Sayuri's cooking.
Masaru: I told you not to call my mom so casually!

lol Masaru manly talk
Masaru: A man's gotta risk his life on his supplementary exams! If you start fearing a bad grade, you've already lost!

more manly talk... XD
Masaru: The path a man travels on is a fighting path! The only time he should pull back is when his family's smiling to calm him down!
^- omg

versus the girls

If you don't notice, the only difference is a 100 and an 80 (100 makes it way easier though XD)
Pandamon: The older brother left home to go to school, which was 2km away from his house.
10 minutes later, the younger sister chased after him using the same road.
The older brother walks 100m per minute, while the sister runs 200m per minute. After how many minutes does she catch up?

Pandamon makes an "U~n" sound and Masaru says this
Masaru: Something going on? You're making noises like you're working hard on the toilet.

SAKEBE, TOHMA, DECLARE YOUR LOVE (indirectly, while Masaru remains clueless but goes along anyway~ <3 )
Barbamon: So you've intruded into my sacred precincts once again.
Barbamon: To be unsatisfied still, humans are living beings with so much greed.
Tohma: "Greed"? That may be true.
Masaru: ...Tohma?
Tohma: But I'll be "greedy" with pleasure.
Tohma: So that I won't lose anyone else! To protect those important to me!
^-yabee

Kurosaki: トーマ様ぁ。なんだか体調がすぐれないの…医者とし見ていただけないかしら？ (Tohma-sama, I don't feel so great... Would you do a checkup on me as a doctor~?)
Tohma: 正常です。 (All normal.)
Kurosaki:　えー、それだけぇ？ (Eh? That's it?)

Masaru: コサブローのピヨモンって、知香のピヨモンとは関係ないのか？ (Kosaburo, does your Piyomon have any relation to Chika's Piyomon?)
Kosaburo: どういうことだい？ (What do you mean?)
Yoshino: マサルの妹のデジモンも、ピヨモンだったのよ。 (Masaru's little sister had a Piyomon as her Digimon too.)
Kosaburo: そんなぐうぜんもあるんだ。ピヨモン、知香ちゃんって知ってる？ (Coincidences like that happen. Piyomon, do you know Chika-chan?)
Piyomon: 知らないですー。 (I don't know her~)
Kosaburo: ところで、「だった」ってどういう意味なんだい？ (By the way, what do you mean "had"?)
Yoshino: あいかわらず目ざといわね。 (You've got a sharp eye as usual.)
Yoshino: 知香ちゃんのピヨモンは、メルクリモンの力で心がこわれて、アグモンにデジタマにされたの。 (Mercurimon's power had broken Chika-chan's Piyomon's mind, so Agumon turned it back into a Digiegg.)
Kosaburo: ああ、ピヨモンが町を大あばれしたヤツね。 (Ah, the Piyomon that went wild in the city.)
Kosaburo: オレっちのピヨモンがまた、ワルさしたんじゃないかって、あんときは、あせったからなあ。 (I was nervous that maybe my Piyomon was up to something bad again back then.)
Masaru: そっか、ならいいんだ。知香に見せてやろうと思ったけど、ぎゃく効果になりそうだから。 (Oh, that's fine then. I was thinking of showing Chika, but looks like it'd just have an opposite effect.)
Agumon: アニキ… (Aniki...)
Yoshino: …ところで、「また」ってどういう意味？ (...By the way, what do you mean by "again"?)
Kosaburo: ヨシノちゃんも目ざといね～。 (Yoshino-chan's got a sharp eye too~)
Piyomon: ワタシはワルさなんてしません！ (I haven't done anything bad!)
Yoshino: はぁ。どうやら、テイマーとデジモンはにるようね。 (*sigh* Looks like Digimon resemble their Tamers.)
Tohma: 否定する要因がないな。 (No reason to deny that.)
Kosaburo: ひっでー。 (How mean.~)
Lalamon: わたしはヨシノみたいにダラしなくないわよ！ (I'm not a slob like Yoshino!)
Lalamon: 代わりに料理も作るし、寝相だっていいのよ！！ (I do the cooking for her, and at least I sleep properly!!)
Yoshino: 私の私生活を、バラすなー！ (Stop talking about my private life!)
^- *imagines Lalamon cooking* owo; Nunchuck sausages...

Stuff in the cut-scene clips:
Lilithmon: Fufu... Three cute men...
Tohma: !
Masaru: !
Ikuto: ?

...XD

Might have been others, I'll add them if I remember xD;
I was pretty happy with the amount of side-missions in the games, but I wanted MOREEEEEEEEE of the main storyline! Or even more side-missions or something~ Because my evolution charts are still only about half full but I don't want to just grindddd to get the rest.
I'm also very much in agreement with a review I read on the game... Putting Numemon and its evolutions on every Digimon was a stupid idea. XD I would've a different kind of variety. For example, Agumon had DORUmon on his evolution life, but none of DORUmon's evolutions ._.;
But my biggest complaint of all is... the LOADTIMES. I think this game would've been so much more entertaining if it were on the DS (and would've been so much cheaper to produce too). Nothing sucks more than waiting on loading times while waiting around the PS2 D8;

Yeah. Still... Fun stuff! GAMES BASED OFF THE DIGIMON ANIME SERIES FTW~

:o I turn 23 today.

My guiltiest pleasure until JLPT in December is drawing, so I feel like I should do some art stuff... >w< ~;;

Or I should finish up those Savers ~Another Mission~ thoughts... yes, that!! I'll say for now I've put up the clips of all the cut-scenes I captured with my USB capture card~ It's 99% of the voiced cut-scenes and a tiny bit of my gameplay... I did miss a line or two there, but nothing significant. The video and sound are kind of nasty quality, but it'll work for a $35 card. :< ~

From the 2nd Inazuma Eleven DS games...

ジミなミサンガ (Ordinary miçanga)
地味でまったく目立たないミサンガ。誰からもバトルを挑まれなくなる。 (An ordinary miçanga that doesn't stand out at all. Nobody will challenge you to battles.)

^- I thought at first this was something that would prevent people on the playing field from using moves on you or something, but it actually prevents all random battles w0000000t chouuuu tsukaeru. \o/ You get it in a treasure box on the field where Burn/Gazel challenge you (after beating the main story).

~~Must collect all the hot guys in this game and make a harem team weeeeeeee~~ Am I really 23 hmmmmmm.

Mmmk, rest of the season anime blab~

Fairy Tail
Don't have much to say from what's probably been said a lot already. XD; I'll probably keep it for a while just for the heck of it.

Kaidan Restaurant
Horror doesn't get to me as usual, but it kind of gave me the whole light Ghost Hunt aura, which I like. Just with more kids XD;; Dunno if the main blond bish can get up there on Naru scale, but we'll see.

Kuchu Buranko (Trapeze)
w00000000000t total mental acid trip. I find it amusing how they use the real life faces of the seiyuu blended in with the animation. and it feels weird actually recognizing those faces. owo;;;
Lookitthatcast. I also find it kind of nuts that Toei's doing this too.
Ep 1 was Morimori with general anxiety disorder... Ep 2 is um... Sakurai with Penile Ankylosis lololol.

Sasameki Koto
Woo, yuri in a school days setting and not some magical fantastical whatchamacallit for once \o/
The guy in ep 2 though... lolol.

Tatakau Shisho - The Book of Bantorra
Just watching it for the seiyuu so far... XD;;; The story hasn't been quite as gripping as I'd anticipated.

Yeah, some just... odd stuff this season. None of it's "OMG MUST WATCH" but it's entertaining enough for me to bother letting it run in the background. ^^;; wee. I might check out other series this season if their casts interest me. 8|

TOP WATCH OF THE WEEK IS STILL GINTAMA w00000000000t
I've also been catching up on Inazuma Eleven anime lately, but while I want to, I don't want to catch up completely and be left in suspense in the anime~~~~ even though I already know what's going to happen because of the games orz. waaaa it's such a good series to marathon though >w< ~~~

What's with this screenshot of Fubuki sticking his tongue out. XD

On the last chapter of the game too... omggggggggggg the spoilers!!! Only saying because it hasn't been animated yet. But omgggg. XD I had a big WOW at Handa though. Particularly him, haha. I'd like these cut-scenes from the DS game on computer! +__+
The PV kind of carries over in the meantime.

Err yeah. Lots of stuff to do! Time's flying by waaaaaah.

Let's try this DA embedding thing...

I11 - Fubuki Shirou by *splashgottaito on deviant ART
^- blab of a description there too

There's sooooooooooooooo much fanart I want to do, but I particularly enjoy drawing from series where I personally want to see the original art style in... another style. XDD

Sad, I think onkei_kun is the only person on my f-list who even appreciates this series beyond the limited fansubs that are available. >_>; I've been filling out the cast list on the ANN entry in hopes of getting people interested? 8|
Leopard-Raws which is the group I've been depending on to keep up with the anime has an xdcc bot in their irc chan with all of their Inazuma Eleven raws now. <3

There are a couple more perks in the new anime season to blab about later, but for now, waaaaah.
~~Gawddd I want more time for fandom why does working on a career eat so much time~~ I've got a midterm due on my birthday on the 21st x_x;~

If anyone wants to be grossed out, I found a certain pic from a mini-album of my summer incident back in summer after my sophomore year in high school...
If you don't know the full story let's just say I was attacked by a wild beast and I had to get 60 body staples and various stitches :D

Waaaaaaaa Lina was lost for a while but my dad finally found her in the deepest end of some corner in the basement after hours of searching >___>; A pipe had broken near my parents' toilet causing a pretty huge flood, and after getting lots of commercial air blowers and dehumidifiers set up on every floor of the house, Lina went into hiding. I didn't see her for over 40 hours, which was unusual since I was home pretty much most of the time... I was worried to bits and cried a bit too wondering if she'd gotten lost outside >o>;;;

*HUGGLELATCH* She's now happily cuddled up on my lap. She was so noisy and shakey when I came back from class and got to see her in the basement. And so I spent some time with her and now she's pretty much as comfortable as usual back in my room. XD;; Any sudden louder noises still set her off though. I'm sooooo glad she's back TwT!

Released the new Kimba animation Jungle Emperor Leo Special 2009 @ ryuu_rogue, check it out if you like animals >w< ~ I think that makes the longest one-shot I've translated... although timing took like 5x longer since the HD was slow on aegisub x_X;;;;

I couldn't help but want to cuddle Leo's paws during the whole movie. Lina's paws are cute and white too <3

So moeee >w< ~

A good load on the fansubbing queue now with Onmyou Taisenki, Legendz and 07-Ghost with atelier_thryst~

My first visiting patient from my volunteer program, whom I'd been seeing since March, passed away this morning... I had just seen her last Saturday.
She lived a long 90 years and I was so happy when she said she appreciated my visits back when she was still aware enough, despite her being such a private person.
May she rest in peace...

----

On a happier note, happy birthday to shadow_wolfwind, modorenai and ketsune. And ssjup81's on the 6th, eruannatel, takatofan1986, and ffxgodhand on the 7th, lina_lau on the 8th, sapphireluna on the 10th... it goes on! On my f-list the month with the most birthdays is October like me \o/

----

In contrast with that, lots of anime blab gathered from the past couple days... ._o;

Currently timing the Jungle Emperor Leo (Kimba the White Lion) 2009 special, hoping to finish that by the end of the week!

[anime blab]
The new stuff while it's still fresh:
Miracle Train ~Ooedo-sen e Youkoso~ - Ishida Akira as a dog. Same guys who did stuff like Kin'iro no Corda and Neo Angelique Abyss. I like the cast, and I do want to hear more KENN and the other cast, but not enough in these roles and not enough to keep up with a mediocre series like this. I also prefer KENN to be more fiesty XD; Dropping ^^;

Nyan Koi! - Fukuyama Jun as a cat. waaaaaa~~~
No comment about the plot itself, but I was pleasantly surprised with the animation flow and entertainment factor.
I fear that it might become riddled with cliche harem girl junk as more of the "main cast" appears, but I'll keep up with it for now.

Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee) - I likeeeee the Suga Shikao opening song. JunJun bishie is nice too. <3 I feel like it's been a really long time since I've seen JunJun in such a nice main position. Although I guess the shota's going to take over soon. Darn. XD; But I'll keep watching since he's still part of the main storyline.

Sacred Blacksmith - Main character's boob outlines are distracting. XDDD Other than that, I guess it's not bad... but I'm not interested in the cast much as it stands right now. I think in the past, I'd be terribly attracted to the main bish here, but eh, not with this series's atmosphere. Maybe it really just is the boobs. Dropping!! \o/

Yumeiro Patissiere - It's cute for now <3 ~ Might try keeping it for a few more eps just for the innocent cuteness, but if it doesn't keep my interest in more ways after that, it's going.

So that's about 3 out of 5 for now, and more later... There are a good 5 others or so right now that I won't even bother with already. XD;
Ridiculous amount of ecchi harem stuff this season. I thought Japan already hit the peak for that overproduction failplan. Oh well.

[gaming]
Inazuma Eleven 2 Kyoui no Shinryakusha Blizzard/Fire - Whyyyyyy did they pull a Pokemon on these. XD Oh well. I might end up playing through both versions anyway ^^;
I DO DO DO LIKE LIKE LIKE the addition of voiced cut scenes (the important ones) and lotssss of FMVs! NOJI-NIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Makes me want to catch up with watching the TV series raws that are lying around on my comp~ I shall, I shall!
I'd still complain that there hasn't been much change in the actual soccer playing and that ALL of the random battle 4-on-4's are EXTREMELY repetitive and tedious. Fortunately, the practice matches are available relatively early in the game, and those offer a better way to grind.

Tales of Vesperia 3 PS3 - uhh I think I should find some method to play the PS3 away from the home theatre system so that I'm not running off that projector lightbulb all the time. XD; I mean, it's AMAZING to watch it on a 7-foot long screen, but... overkill. o_o~~~ And I just realized my capture card won't work for it since it doesn't support HDTV. I only play a couple hours at a time and I've just gotten Rita to join. But eee Toriumi <3 ~

[download] Digimon Savers ~Another Mission~ OST

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:01:37 GMT

Eeeek, I'm still ever so slowly catching up with PS2 games and Tales of Vesperia and Trusty Bell (Eternal Sonata) PS3 are heading over~~ And FFXIII by the end of the year. Is Versus coming out on a later date or something?

So here's the Digimon Savers ~Another Mission~ OST ripped by mcw~ Comment if you download off PMSinfirm!
(BT if you want the unnamed tracks)
I totalllllly didn't realize Hitoshi Sakimoto was credited for the game's music (there are more people involved in the actual "music composition" but he's the main name). It was the tiniest bit in the back of my head when I heard the orchestral pieces in the game, but I didn't possibly think Digimon would bring in such a well-known composer for a game like this.
But it's him.

.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*latches onto his autograph* From Eminence's Passion CD we got at Otakon 2007... onkei_kun helped me get his autograph back then >w< ~ I've enjoyed this guy's works ever since Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on the GBA, back in 2003. Ivalice music <3 Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!
Good job~ d(>w< )

As for the cut-scene videos, I've got about 46 videos to encode, I think I'll just use x264 mkv with the aac audio, although my capturing quality sucks imo I like the filesize economy of the format, and I'll probably slap some quick softsubs on the vids, yesyes?

----

In other news, I've discovered that a whole lot of the anime stuff at my workplace is knock-off than I initially thought. XD When I had taken my first browsing at the store, I didn't look closely up at the most of the figurine toys and such... Yeah sadly most of them are knock-offs. XDDD I can say SOME of the stuff is still authentic like the random Gunpla selection, the music CDs, most of the DVDs... (one customer came in and bought the two crazy-looking Vampire Knight "complete" DVDs... HK? One of them had fanart on the cover wtfff? XD) Most of the wallscrolls, plushies and puzzles aren't official either, but they're still good quality imo. But the rest is junk you're likely to find in Taiwan and China. XD;
Oh, there's a whole buttload of Zelda, Mario and Yoshi stuff there that's good quality too, but of course they're expensive and I've yet to see people buy anything above the $8 plushies from the Mario franchise.

The other day, we brought in some hats... a Kon hat, the badger thing from Gurren Lagann, and uh... Code Geass Military Cap. I tried it on... o.O;;;

Anyway, the only thing I've myself bought from the store is a cheap head massager. Because it makes me purr like heck.

There's still lots of stuff coming in over the weeks, so maybe I'll find something else I'll be interested in getting for myself (woot for employee discount) hahaha.

hiroki_chan rec'd Arcobaleno! PS2 to me~

^- Cooking genius with a calm/cold personality

^- Troublemaker who likes to invent his own dishes

Lol hello Tohma and Masaru Otome+Cooking game version.

Voiced by the Tachibana Shinnosuke/Hino Satoshi pair. XD (they're also doing a radio show together, which I have the darnnnnndest time remembering to keep up with weekly :< )

Anybody try Lucian Bee's RESURRECTION SUPER NOVA? I LOVE the cast line-up, but for some reason the whole concept doesn't appeal to me too much for some reason. And the character designs are so-so on me too, mostly because they're uh... a little too separated from reality, heh. At least I didn't feel the appeal when I was playing the Vitamin series, and Lucian Bee's seems similar just by the summary. I've also got Vitamin Z for PS2 I could try... XD;
I do like the music for the game a lotttttt though *w*~~~ Kamen no Shita no Ballad totally sounds like a catchy-addictive JE boys hit, seiyuu style! XD;

My (real) EasyCap came in, so now I can play PS2 on my comp and make recordings!! Technically I should be able to use the PS3 on this too o______o; I'm getting Trusty Bell and Tales of Vesperia when Lea sends it over <3 ~ I love how we're shipping each other things that are more convenient to get in our respective countries XDDD; Although I think I'm much more reliant on her part ORZ *reaches*

Waiting for the Digimon memorial book now that it's been delayed-- Hmmm, I wonder if this is what the people who preordered Messiah Paranoia Paradox had to go through. I heard they kept delaying the release and delaying it and delaying it and delaying it... XD

WORKPLACE \o/
China Capital Arts in the Crossroads Mall, Kalamazoo, Michigan

There's a Haruhi wallscroll on the very left. Someone bought that today and the boss put an ugly-looking Naruto one (quality-wise) up in its place for a sale price, daww. I hope someone buys that one soon D8;;;
But I'm glad to see someone bought the Haruhi one, and that there are still people in the city who actually watch fansubs 8| (he brought up Endless Eight, hahaha.)

About that animusic, ahaha the boss even asked to buy a CD player off me so he could play music in the store, and then I told him I could burn him copies of the music he was selling..... like the Geass, Bleach OSTs, game OSTs, Naruto hits, etc. hahahaha
XD;; so I'm bringing a cd player in from the house and my animusic. I have the first of the two shifts by myself tomorrow, so I'll be playing the reallll good stuff. Wewt.

Weapons account for like a third of the sales in the store. I wish we didn't have to sell the little switch knives and such too because a lot of younger people buy or WANT to buy them (you have to be at least 18), and they're still kind of lying around for the picking. I hope that changes soon. I mean the boss puts Kingdom Heart/Death Note wallets behind the glass case, but leaves the hand-size weapons out on the open? ....... I'm very tempted to switch them around. Hmm I should've brought that up to him but I just thought of that just now and I won't see him again for a while. XDDDDD He apparently lives in Detroit.

Keyblade.

Ichigo's Zanpakutou, Zangetsu

Bankai Zangetsu is taller than me 8|

There's also Kenshin's reverse-blade sword in a full tang, it's really nice.

Ah, I forgot to take pictures of the clothes, those are also a good fourth or so of the sales. There are some typical outfits like the Uchiha clothes and Soul Society stuff, china dresses and the like. Boss had me try out the china dresses today so I could recommend them for future sales, heh. A few moments of vanity. I felt sexy.

The guy's still looking for more part-timers if you live in Kalamazoo! \o/

Backdating the anime stuff sales post, so it'll be on the first 5 posts for a while!

dfkjhsdkfjhdf Thank you everyone who voted in the Matsuri contest ToT!!!!!!!!!!! Ohhh I get a copics pic it seems~ I'm so envious of those who work with the copics~ *needs to get a set of her own one day >_>* Thank you so much <3

STILL on Gaomon on my Burst Digivice because I haven't had time and left it on Pause for ages. >_>
I was wondering what the "Feather" item on the Burst Digivice does, so I found out...
I need to draw more of these! x3

Starting grad school on Tuesday, waaaaaaaaaa back to school. Also planning to get involved with the newly growing Japanese culture department here. :D

Thanks sis for the heads up~ Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd I just got a new part-time job~ It's at China Capital Arts in the Crossroads, which is newly set up. THEY SELL ANIME STUFF. It's mostly Naruto and Bleach though, of course. XDDD A bit of Sailor Moon stuff for the girls. But they're (mostly) authentic Japanese products which makes me squeeeeeeeeeeeee. They have some interesting Final Fantasy goods, cds and wallscrolls too. I remember seeing some really nice Kingdom Hearts, Death Note anime and Suzumiya Haruhi wallscrolls. I start training this Friday.

They also sell weapons like shuriken, kunai and swords o_o;;; Some of them are just out on display for now, blades poking out. Didn't expect that. My OCD wants to add giant red warning signs around them because there aren't any around the displays. I hope I don't get cut! bokutouuuuu~ They also have a lot of cool traditional clothes, Buddha statues, charms and the sort. More than I thought, and I like it :D

But the store owner seems pretty nice. It's going to be fun, I can tell. XD asdhfkjdhf I wonder if I'll get to play my choice of animu music there too or something. >w< ~~~

[gaming]
Many thanks to nezucho and furoraken, I finally have a modded PS2, and my first game is definitely Digimon Savers ~Another Mission~! I've also started out on Shining Wind JP, Tales of the Abyss JP, Persona 4 (undub), and Final Fantasy X International (undub), but I'll get back to them after at least one round of Savers. As well as the Onmyou Taisenki games and possibly some Summon Knight games and maybe even some otome games... errrm, this is all going to take a lot of time already XD

I'm also getting an A/V to USB adapter so I can play the games on my old XP laptop or a computer, and it supposedly has software to let me record with it, so I'd like to make recordings of the Savers cutscenes, since some scenes are just... XDDDDD And fansub them too? I've got a few Thought pics already ahahahahahaha.

Dorking, I'll "re-organize" all this blab later:

But DAMN the game runs so slowly, I really wish they'd learned something from the smoother/faster flow in other games like Final Fantasy X. I played FFX way back in high school when Paul lent me his PS2 and have forgotten most of it since then, so it'll be nice to have a replay with the original audio. xD I also set it to the Japanese subtitles, and it's REALLY annoying because what they say doesn't match up to the subs at all >_>; Like Tidus will be saying 「マジかよ！」 (maji ka yo!) while the subs say　「勘弁してくれ！」 (kanben shitekure!) >___>; Or sentences will be inverted in the subs, or shortened, or just... ARGH none of it matches and it's annoying because the subs are still following the story, miraculously. Just telling in a different way... XD That just reinforces the silliness of the stories for FF, if you ask me.

When I try to play Final Fantasy XII International it won't detect my controller though, and I HOPE it's just because of the controller... got another coming though, so I hope that should work... >_> I know it's not because of the game, since I have the actual retail game, and it's done the same thing with both that and a copy I downloaded from PS2iso.

Ack still have to set up that gijinka meme with petshopmistress... XD Err I guess wait until after you're settled into your new apartment and I'm settled into... school? orz

I'm also wondering if anyone who had preordered Digimon Memorial books from 1999 or HMV Japan have gotten their books shipped yet? The release dates are all scattered and CDJapan lists September 2, while the other sites list earlier dates.

Anime stuff sale is still going!!

Don't know why, but I've been on a translating spree lately... breezed through 8 eps of translations for commission in a week...
I'm actually running low on personal translation projects, and while I want to translate Ryouta's route for Messiah, I really don't want to take the time to learn how to extract the Japanese text onto something I can actually work with XDDD
So there was that one Taito doujinshi scanlation I put up at yamachi... hmmm I want to do some ToMaTo ones maybe... problem is scans... 8|~~~
Or actually the fics too... but which one should I start with?!?!?! Mmmm.
The translation cravings...!!!!!! They're taking over my drawing ones, oddly >__>; I think it might just be a phase thing until JLPT comes in December. Mmm, 1kyuu. 勉強しなきゃっ！

ToMaTo projects are still inching along too, I think I've finally got something REALLY going for the next doujinshi, and the sequel to Cycle will get there... some day!! Maybe I'll just make it a goal to finish it for NaNoWriMo 2009 even though it won't be that long XD;;;;

[gaming]
I'm randomly starting a gaming review blog for the hell of it. I have other reasons for making that too but thaaaaaaaat's a secret. I had a lot of fun making lots of quick banners for the rotation at the top. XD petshopmistress, I used your pictures of the Dissidia pop cans for one of them, LOL. As for the actual reviews themselves... they are not much ._.; It's just for the outward appearance anyway. I likely won't be doing much on it and my fangirling's going to stay here. XD

I'm thinking about preordering Tales of Vesperia PS3 and Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume (PlayStation3 the Best) (known as Eternal Sonata in the US), but there are a couple minor dilemmas... whether to get the Japan editions or the Asian editions ($10 cheaper), and also whether to order them from Play-Asia or Yesasia. Yesasia would offer free shipping, but Japan editions from Play-Asia are more likely to come with limited edition preorder items.

My current plan is to order from Play-Asia and get ToV Japan edition and Trusty Bell in Asian edition. Y/N? >_>; SOLVED LEANNE I LOVE YOU

I still wish Amazon Japan would just ship games overseas though! orz

[art]
I think I've finally figured out the reason behind some certain things going on with my art brain, so I've decided to fully re-open art commissions. Digimon fanart will have lower prices while everything else will be more expensive. I think that'll solve the whole motivation issue I've been having @_@;!

[talk] Shining Tears X Wind DVD, Bakugan Battle Brawlers DVD

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:10:22 GMT

*laughs at overall top tracks on her last.fm*

Putting up the next round of the anime stuff sale soon~ Got some new stuff to put up on it too.

[webhost]

Also: ghey of the day

Shining Tears X Wind DVD is finally all up in the softsub section at orz media shares, and I've made new rips using h264 and AAC instead of xvid and mp3 ahahaha >o>~ But the DVD source quality isn't that awesome in the first place, so if you already have the old rips, you probably won't notice much of a difference, but I also went through all the scripts again and nit-picked scene timing and some wordings. The new rips are all also under 233mb to save some diskspace.

Also, Bakugan Battle Brawlers DVD raws are getting uploaded to orz media shares now for those interested.~ I've encoded all 52 eps, just uploading and finishing off the file listing now. No plans to sub this series... XD; I'm still on like ep 8 of watching it myself and evil Hoshi interests me the most out of everything.

Because of a recent fiasco with a butthead support staff at the webhost, the ryuu_rogue files are all down and I'm waiting it out until September at the least to start uploading them again (with the help of hanjie). :< All those files...! And there's a good batch of Onmyou Taisenki DVD waitingggg~~~ (with the new op/ed kara~~~ well they're not really new since they're the same as the tv versions XD)

[dream]
I was with a friend shopping around bookstores (hmmm familiar situation), but she was looking around for a certain gaming magazine with a special video DVD... I think it was supposed to be Tales related but I'm not quite sure. Anyway, she showed me the "original" video it was based off of, and it showed a giant dragon meeting up with a baby dragon, and then Masaru came in with DATS wear and challenged them to a fight, then they started fighting as if they were in the PS2 Digimon Savers ~Another Mission~ game o_O; Maybe with more detail, since Masaru does the whole finger wriggling invitation. ...That sounds bad

Anyway, something happened, and we went to watch the special video DVD. There, the dragon and baby dragon came BACK... as SKELETON dragons. And then Masaru challenged them in his second half casual outfit. o.o; Masaru vs Zombie Dragons!!!

But wuhhh? If I can get something like this after playing less than a half hour of the Digimon Savers game, I want to see what happens when I can actually play the rest of it!! I still want to do a Thought or two on the game~ Now that I think of it, I should do one on the movie too. Hmmmmmm

From darkryo:
1. Leave me a comment and I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
2. Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
3. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1. What's your all time favourite Digimon?
2. If there was a Digimon-based MMO would you play it?
3. What was the first anime you ever watched?
4. OTP? (I can kind of guess the answer to this though XD)
5. Have you ever invented your own Digimon?

1. Renamon \o/ Gaomon is magnificient too, but Renamon \o/
2. There ARE Digimon-based MMOs. XDDDD I tried one ages ago and didn't get very far since there wasn't much to do. I want to play the one with Savers characters, but haven't been hearing news about it lately. 8|
3. The first I probably remember anything about would be Totoro. The first anime series I really watched was Tenkuu no Escaflowne (The Vision of Escaflowne).
4. ToMaTo \o/
5. I've transferred my ideas for Pokemon to Digimon, I think that's pretty much it XDDDDD; They show up in TSS...

I actually don't feel like asking people questions this time, but if you REALLLLLY want me to, I'll try o_o;

Note to self: Anime stuff I want to catch up with first!
1. 07-Ghost
2. ~~Vampire Knight Guilty (ugh I know but Noji-nii's in it wtf......?!??!?)~~ - Done! Seiyuu orgy, you will be missed! I'm glad Hoshi had more of a role in this season too. XD
3. Inazuma Eleven

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 20:50:51 GMT

Finally playing Toradora! PSP, and... LOLOLOL Kitamura... XDDDDD Noji-nii ♥♥♥
Good, long game with a LOT of different endings. You have to get a bunch of incomplete ones before you can get the 100 point routes. The drama isn't NEARLY as whacked out as it was in the anime, thankfully, but it does get a bit tiresome to deal with over and over again to get the other endings.
I've gone through Taiga (~~holy shit, TRIPLETS?~~) and Minorin's 100% routes, kind of not interested in getting Ami's unless there's something special for completing the gallery... XD (plus you can see hers on youtube anyway)

Some of my favorite lines:
北村：「よ、よう、あはよう！いや、もう『こんにちは』な時間か？ちょっと気が早く『こんばんは』？全部あわせて『おこんちば』！！」
竜児：「お…おこんちば。元気か？北村」
Kitamura: Y-Yo, good morning! Or is it already "good afternoon"? Or maybe an early "good evening"? Or all together, "Good mornooning"!!
Ryuuji: G...Good mornooning. Doing well, Kitamura?

北村：[高須が振られただと？誰にだ？」
竜児：「おいおい。その件はもういいから！ホントに！」
北村：「良くないぞ、なぜなら、俺が女なら高須に惚れているからだ！見過ごすことなどできん！」
Kitamura: Takasu was rejected? By who?
Ryuuji: Hey, hey, that doesn't matter anymore! Seriously!
Kitamura: That can't be! After all, if I were a girl, I'd be infatuated with you, Takasu! I can't just let this matter go!

北村：「大丈夫か、高須！！俺が見えるか！？俺の乳首はいくつある？」
竜児：「ふたつ…って、北村…おまえ、なんで裸なだよ…」
Kitamura: Are you all right, Takasu?! Can you see me? How many nipples do I have?
Ryuuji: Two... Hey, Kitamura, why are you naked...

There's a pseudo Kitamura x Ryuuji ending too. XD;

It starts off with Ryuuji coming into a scene where it looks like Kitamura's about to "confess" to Taiga.
Ryuuji gets a bunch of options to stop them...

One of the choices involves Ryuuji putting on the santa suit Kitamura wore before and carrying off Kitamura, because he was just trying to find a way to get Kitamura away from Taiga.

And Kitamura takes it this way...

北村：「…おまえが想っていたのは、この俺だったんだな」
竜児：「…は？」
北村：「俺としたことが、こんなに近くにいながら、今日までおまえの気持ちに気づかずにいた」
北村：「腕ずくで奪えと言った言葉に対しての、おまえの言動。俺はいま、猛烈に感動している」
竜児：「いや、ちょっと待って」
北村：「俺が会長に惚れたのは、その度胸、男より男らしい豪胆さに魅かれたからだと思っていた。そして俺は今、会長を上回る男をおまえの中に見てしまった」
竜児：「早まるな北村、ち、近い近い！」
北村：「常々、俺が女だったらお前のような男に惚れるだろうと思っていたが…この際、男のままで、おまえを好きになってもいいだろうか？」
竜児：「…へ？」
北村：「俺と付き合ってくれないか、高須」
竜児：「え…えええええええええ！？」
Kitamura: ...So the one you had feelings for was me.
Ryuuji: ...Ha?
Kitamura: How come I never noticed? We were so close, yet I never realized it until now.
Kitamura: Your actions after I told you to take it away with your own arms. Right now, I'm quite passionately moved.
Ryuuji: *Kitamura moves closer* Whoa, wait a moment.
Kitamura: The reason I had a crush on the chairman was because of that bravery, because I was charmed by that boldness manlier than a man. And right now, I've found a man above the chairman in YOU!
Ryuuji: *Kitamura moves closer* Don't jump to conclusions, Kitamura, y-you're close, close!
Kitamura: Normally, I thought I'd be infatuated with a guy like you if only I were a girl... but this time, would it be okay if I liked you even as a guy?
Ryuuji: ...Heh?
Kitamura: Would you go out with me, Takasu?
Ryuuji: Eh... Ehhhhhhhhh?!

Of course, it's all a joke XD; There's a lot more to the ending, but this was the fun part.

It also has a mini-game where you play strip blockbreaker, and you can pick any of the girls... and one guy... = Kitamura. XD Good service, good service.

[meme]
Meme~~~ from repeats:

Instructions: List 10 different fictional characters from any fandom/s you like, number them 1 to 10 in any order you like, and don't peek at the questions until you're done. Then, answer the following questions.

1. Tohma H. Norstein (Digimon Savers)
2. Ryouta (Messiah)
3. Okita Sougo (Gintama)
4. Guy (Fire Emblem 7)
5. Daimon Masaru (Digimon Savers)
6. Takuto (Messiah)
7. Renamon (Digimon Tamers)
8. Kagura (Gintama)
9. Asato (Lamento)
10. Gaomon (Digimon Savers)

#1 Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Lancer (second-in-command), Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick? If you think the team would be improved by swapping one character between the even and odd groups, which ones would you switch?
Even: Guy, Gaomon, Ryouta, Takuto, Kagura
Odd: Masaru, Okita, Asato, Tohma, Renamon

um, LOL at these. If they had to battle each other, it would be one scarrrrry batttttol.

#2 Gender-swap 2 (Ryouta), 8 (Kagura) & 10 (Gaomon). Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?

o____o; For Ryouta, I would simply just not like him much as a girl >____>; He needs that pure manliness to work with Takuto.
Male Kagura wouldn't change much, but she's cooler as a girl. XD
Female Gaomon... lol girl harem show yes goshujinsama.

#3 Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 (Tohma and Kagura) and 5 & 9. (Masaru and Asato) (Ignore canon sexual preferences for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible? Which couple would be more plausible to people from either principal's home culture?

Tohma and Kagura would be a great laugh. Kagura would clean out his total estate.
uhhhhhhhhhhh. If Asato were to find Masaru attractive, I... I guess they would go at it?!?!?!? ohlordie*nosebleed*

#4 Your team is 3 (Okita), 4 (Guy) & 9 (Asato). The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?

Okita for the social, Guy for the mental, Asato for the physical. Or maybe Asato for the mental and Guy for the physical. Either way, the mental challenge is doomed and the social one would be quite interesting to see just because it's sado!Okita.

#5 7 (Renamon) becomes 1's (Tohma's) boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?

Hot and sexy hyuuuu hyu. o_o;;; Well, platonically that is. :P

#6 2 (Ryouta) finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's (Takuto) continuity. As far as anyone other than 2 (Ryouta) or 6 (Takuto) is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 (Ryouta) be presumed to have had in 6's (Takuto) story, and could they fit in without going wonky?

Um oops same continuity XD;;; Oh well, I don't feel like thinking about this one anyway hahahhaa~

#7 3 (Okita) and 5 (Masaru) get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?

TO HAVE THE WORLD WORK THE WAY THEY WANT IT TO. I guess that's all they need...

#8 1 (Tohma) and 2 (Ryouta) are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4 (Guy). They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?

I dunno what Code vs. Killing is either... but I think Tohma might do in Guy's brain somehow. :< ~

#9 6 (Takuto), 7 (Renamon), 9 (Asato) & 10 (Gaomon) must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?

oh noooo. XD Takuto would be doing all the flower arrangements, etc while the other three just take orders from him ._.~ Takuto and the Digimon need to watch over the kids while the celebration goes on, so Asato becomes Santa... a very awkward one going by however Takuto explains it to him... XD

#10 3 (Okita) and 8 (Kagura) are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?

Um are you kidding me
ftttttt. the latter

Digimon 10th Anniversary Odaiba Memorial

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 14:15:00 GMT

uh, my Digimon anniversary image is going to be late (hopefully I can finish it before the end of the month though!), but in the meantime...

ODAIBA MEMORIAL: THESE MUSIC VIDEOS ARE THE WIN

So it turns out I have a little bit of internet access on the anni day after all :D It's just REALLY slow though, and I've been out in Taiwan this whole time, so I still can't celebrate it the way I'd been hoping to ^^;;;;

Well.

That's what the REST OF THE MONTH IS FOR 83

[random] YES ACCESS

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:10:54 GMT

omg ACCESS TO DEVIANTART AFTER THREE LOOONGGGG WEEKS. PARTY IN MY BRAIN TONIGHT.

Give me lots of time to catch up with comments, email everything. >____>; Like weeks.

I'll also resume posting Digimon Savers Thought collages there like I had started before going to the school I was teaching in... where they blocked sites like Devart.

So uh yeah... what have I missed while I was in the abyss?!?!?!?! Although I'm still in it...

[talk] Taiwan AIDsummer 2009 pre-blab

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 01:00:14 GMT

Last day of teaching at AIDsummer 2009!!!! I've had like no time to make a proper entry, plus my personal laptop doesn't connect to the internet at the school anymore (stopped working a couple days ago), and I'm lazy to transfer whatever I had scribbled down on that right now.

Anyway, here are the pics from just my camera so far: http://splash.pmsinfirm.org/pics/AIDsummer2009/
I'll attempt to make a proper gallery with video clips, captions, stories, etc later. I made the slideshow that we're going to use at the closing ceremony today. And I'll try to record as much of it as I can on my digicam. It's going to be cooooooool~~~~~ I'm going to miss all of these Masarus!!!!!!!!! Yeah, most of them are 14 years old.
ToT

The last week here in Taiwan is a troublesome tour with half of the rest of the people in the program. I think our group has mostly older people, but there are still high-schoolers in the program, so the rules are appropriate for that as such... Meh.

My mom finally got a facebook and added me while I was here too. >___>; Good thing I only use that thing like once a week and only for a few minutes when I do so.

Deviantart, fanfiction.net and some other sites like that are BLOCKED here for "adult content". ._.; So there's been stuff I've been wanting to upload but I can't. It's comfortable working on the tablet in the teacher's office with AC~~~~

More laterrrrrr o/

[talk] Taiwan Loot

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:58:38 GMT

SHORT LIST OF MY (inexpensive) LOOTS BEFORE I DIVE INTO THE REAL ABYSS OF TAIWAN:
-Bakugan Battle Brawlers Taiwanese DVD boxsets 1 and 2 (all eps, PURELY FOR THE JAPANESE AUDIO and it was relatively cheap. I'll figure out if I want to make rips of it available or whatnot later. ANYONE EVEN INTERESTED? or am I a total lost case for kids shows as long as they have seiyuu I'm interested in lawl)
-2 Honey & Clover clearfiles (there were a lot of other really good ones from other series but I'd only end up re-selling them and have no use for them otherwise... XD)
-Newtype Nov 08, Dec 08, Feb 09
-Animedia Jan 09, Feb 09, May 09, July 09
-Seiyuu Grandpri May 09 (Mmmmmmmm Kamiyan poster...!!! XD And can someone shoot me for thinking Namikawa Daisuke looks like a frog or reptile in a cute/odd way)
-DOLLS manga volume 7 special edition (uwaaa I have to admit I'm so behind in manga in general, I've barely read this!!!! But special edition, wanted to get it while I could XDDD Even though I can't get the drama CD that getting this volume is part of...... Suzuken, Mamo, Tachibana and Sugitan... XDDDD ackkk I want to hear it, does someone have it?)

Heavy (but nice and cheap) magazines are heavy. Must watch out for packing limits...
I tried to find the latest 07-Ghost manga, but couldn't find any of the series at all. Or even Zero-Sum magazines. of course >_>;
Anyway... also saw lots of Kuroshitsuji. One store even played the opening music to Kuroshitsuji while I was there. And lots of so-so looking BL novels/manga. Was almost tempted to pick out something on a whim just to explore it (the only actual BL manga I have is G-Senjou no Neko, and then the Lamento/Messiah artbooks), but all the titles really did look sooooooo... so-so ._. I DID see the Seven Days book, but it was in Chinese. orz

These short few days with my sister and relatives were awesome. I'll up pics when I feel like it? Of all things, I've been getting inspiration to write the Cycle sequel lately, so I wouldn't count on it. XDDD 夜は祭りだから…頭の中で。実際はもう眠いから寝る。

Slowly uploading old (and some NEW old...?!?!) Digimon Savers Thought pics on my devart account as I get the time too ^^;

I made my Kikuchi Masami troll icon~ \o/

Some more Digimon card scans up @ digimon_savers~ Last release for another month at ryuu_rogue too~

Mm, had my last work weekend at Meijer before I'll be in Taiwan for all of July.~ Back in August and then it's grad school at the MPA program @ WMU~
After over a year of having low-paying jobs, this'll be a good change of pace, I hope. Hmmmm I'd love to get a paid internship. =w=;;

LINA WHY YOU DO THIS... XD
She was sleeping on the suitcase next to my backpack for a few weeks (look at all that fur she shed ahhaha... it was hot), and I wasn't planning on using that suitcase for Taiwan anyway. But I can't go without the backpack... today she decides to sleep on it. I leave tomorrow wut's she doingggg

I also find it really cute when she does this, and I found Lucy sleeping in an interesting place the other day, also during the hot weather. I was almost afraid she went there to pass away or something >_>; She hates eating dry food now, so we've been getting her canned food, which I think has been helping her regain some weight...

Renamon... 8D?
