Ace Attorney Posters

I never knew there was Ace Attorney posters until now. Here are the two posters I have for it. I don't have room to hang these two but I will make room once my interest in this game rises. This is my first time blogging here. I guess this place will be my anime blog. I will be posting up web banners to make this site look better and all and advertisements. Don't mind them I guess. You can click the web banner and it will link you to other websites.

Last day of busing home

YAY! Today is wednesday, sept 10 which means its the last day I have to bus home from summer school. No more 2-3 hour rides, waiting for the bus, putting up with the weirdest people, rushing to get the best seat or at least the one out of the sun, and no more fishing out coins XD. WOOT!


Meanwhile, I should really be studying for the chem final but ehhhh....sooo lazy.

New banner and avatar

Alvin-kun aka Rarutos was so kind as to make me a new banner after the old one no longer fit the template I chose. I must say, his work exceeded my expectations ^o^.
As a bonus, he also made me an avatar which I found really beautiful, simple, but beautiful. Of course the images were taken from doujin style, where Touhou reigns. XD



For those who don't know, my banner and avatar are based on the Touhou Project, a series of games that are curtain fire/rapid shooting in which you evade patterns of bullets that can number in the hundreds while attempting to kill various bosses. It helps that the graphics are insanely beautiful and they have really cute characters. My banner's character is Hakurei Reimu, a main character of the series, and my avatar is Youmu Konpaku, my favorite character. The picture below is an example of a stage in a touhou game(Imperishable Night) where the pretty light things are the bullets you have to dodge X_X.





*note* this pattern took me forever to get used to and beat it without using more than 2 bombs.See that girl at the bottom of the screen? Yea, you're her and you have to dodge the bullets and defeat the freak who actually shoots these patterns.


The next picture is another but with a more defined pattern that is easier to play.


So for any who are curious, try Touhou, it's a really fun game and a good way to kill time if you are bored. It also has some really good soundtracks which make repeating levels worth it.

Fall Anime 08

Well, I was going to have this posted on a friend's blog since he's the one who follows these things more closely and he has the pictures and summaries all ready. However, I can't get a hold of him so I'll just list what I think of the series that are coming up. There are certain anime I am so disinclined to see that I am simply passing it without further thought.


Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka: It looks like Ranma + Key, except more KEY less Ranma. Unfortunately, since its in the Fall lineup, I've already gotten my fill of harem anime in the summer(ie: Sekirei, Guardians etc). Might give the first few episodes a try but I'm not likely going to follow it.

Battle Spirits: Yu-gi-Oh mirror. Then again, I had the same feeling about Nabari no Ou and Naruto and was pleasantly surprised it wasn't so. I will give episode one a try but if I see/hear ONE word about friendship and heart of the cards, I'm going to drop it forever.


Bihada Ichizoku : OMG! DC HAS INVADED! no wait, its worse, at least DC doesn't focus on frickin beauty contest. Not even going to bother with it.

Casshern SINS: Cool name but I need very good reasons to watch futuristic-type animes and this sounds like I Robot. Not that I hated it, but sci-fi anime can do so much more. Will not attempt to watch this.


Chäos;HEAd: I agree with the others in that this feels like Higurashi, but also reminds me a little of Fafner. Although I enjoyed both series, whats really drawing me in is the art and the cool looking weapon that girl is holding (present in Tekky's picture not mine). As one who is fascinated by weird and new weapons, that alone convinces me to give this series a try.

Clannad ~After Story~: I am definitely watching this. Having watched the anime(several times) and movie, I feel they are still somewhat lacking compared to the game itself. Hoping this meets and exceeds expectations.

ef - a tale of melodies: Watched the first season in one day (thanks Tekky) and was definitely pulled in by the story. I really want to see the stories of the other pairs that were not in the first season or didn't have their own storyline. Here's to hoping this will match the first season in depth and plot.

Ga-Rei -Zero- : NOooooooooooooo! I loved Bleach w/o the fillers! I was hoping for a similar anime but again, sci-fi takes a bit of convincing for me to try since I've had low success rates in finishing series in that genre. It would be nice to see some shounen anime without the eroge part though. I will try the first episode and see where it takes me.

Gundam 00 Second Season: Hmm, loved the beginning of the first season, then began to hate the characters, especially Sumeragi. Since I could not even manage to force myself to finish the first season, I will give this a pass. WIll forever love episode one of Gundam 00 though.

Hakushaku to Yosei: Not a big fan of the time period, but the art is pretty and while the summary reminds me of an rpg game, I think it might have potential. Will give episode one a try.

Hazama no Uta: Pretty. Since I know nothing of this series, I can only say the art will not be a negative factor in deciding to watch this anime.

Hokuto no Ken - Raoh Gaiden Ten no Haoh : Ironically, while Tekky is the one who watches the gar anime, I will watch this once I've finished Fist of the North Star. It feels a bit like following Ryu's story then Ken's in street fighter and that was an awesome game. I digress, back to Hokuto no Ken, although I have not yet finished the anime, I am going to add this to my "to watch" list as Fist of the North Star was pretty awesome.

Hyakko: Pass.

Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae: Watched the first two seasons. I enjoyed the first season but the second not so much. Still, I am willing to give it a try.

Junjou Romantica Second Season: I watched most of the first season and it was pretty good in terms of character development and plot for yaoi. Since I have no problem watching yaoi,yuri, or anything in between I'm willing to give this a try. ^_^.

Kannagi: Plot seems very cliche. Might attempt it depending on whether or not I'm bored.

Kemeko DX!: Final Approach that has been twisted and put into another setting? I've been getting tired of arranged marriages because they've been getting pretty cut and dry. Pass.

Kurogane no Linebarrels: Mixed feelings about this. Again, mecha and other stuff in sci-fi genre has a hard time getting my attention but the premise seems somewhat promising. I'll give episode one a try.


Kuroshitsuji:It has a nice art and Ciel sounds like an interesting character. I'll give this series a shot.


Kyou no Go no Ni (TV): Kids and ecchi... OMG NAGI!!! jk. Giving this a pass because it's just not drawing my attention.

Macademi Wasshoi!: Meh, if it shows to have a good plot I'll give it a try.

Michiko to Hatchin: Pass.

Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter: Still need to finish the last episode. Although Nodame Cantabile was interesting I don't think I will be watching this since its one of those animes where I have to literally force myself to go through the first several episodes before being interested.

Noramimi 2: Depending on feedback from other people, I may or may not watch this.

Ride Back: Seeing the picture immediately puts to mind Sakura Taisen but less dramatic and hilarious. That, and its the other direction of time. However, it doesn't sound very captivating.

Rosario+Vampire Capu2: Could not sit through season 1, will not torture myself with season 2.

Shikabane Hime: Aka: Reminds me a little of zombie loan. The summary shows it has potential but it can either be a big disappointment or an anime I can follow to the end.

Skip Beat: Hate the main character. Pass.


Tales of the Abyss: I suppose I'm a bit biased since I played the game but I am going to watch this, and finish it. Even if I somehow hate it, I will finish this. The game was awesome though it paled in comparison to Tales of Symphonia. If it closely follows the game, the intricate plot and crazy developments will not fail, though I might be watching it differently since I already know the story.

Tears to Tiara: I love the art and it reminds me of old mythology stories. Feels a bit like an rpg game though. I will give this a try.

Tentai Senshi Sunred: Sounds like a comic book. Pass.

Titania: Sounds like Code Geass gone galactic. I have reservations about this, most likely giving it a pass.

To Aru Majutsu no Index: Summary confuses me a bit about the plot but it seems somewhat interesting. Will give it a try if I have time.

Toradora!: Pass.

Vampire Knight: Guilty: Preferred the manga to the anime, but I cannot deny that the anime is beautiful. Very beautiful. However, I'm sticking to the manga if I feel like continuing where I left off from.

Yozakura Quartet: Doesn't seem too terribly interesting. However, I don't run across anime like this very often and after having tutored kids for over a year, I will enjoy seeing others suffer having to put up with those troublemakers X_X

Kinda sad I'm not reliable but I try not to be unreliable! As for the intellectual part, its what I aspire to be though not sure I am that intellectual otherwise college wouldn't be kicking my ass X_X.

On another note, I added a chat box because it looks good. Yes, scattered brain is me. The quiz lies not.



On another note for some who were curious, I am economically conservative and socially liberal. Apparently I'm centrist rather than liberal or conservative. Oh well, nice to know.
