First of all, to make it clear… Some people think “OMG, shoujo ai? EW! I don’t want to watch lesbian sex! D8″… The truth is, this has no sex in it, so don’t worry… (^_^; ) It was funny, though it wasn’t over-the-top funny – it also has it’s (somewhat) serious moments… There were a lot of situations that made Kanako get major nosebleeds, sometimes even to the point where she wakes up in the school infirmary because she almost bled dry… So, there’s a lot of fountain blood coming out of her nose, and swirling Kanako’s also seen a lot, but it’s all done in a funny way… *snickers*

The first episode already has a lot of comedy in there, so it already starts off with funniness! (^_^)/

I definately recommend this for any anime lover! (^_^)/ I’ll wait patiently for the notice for the second season…

I finished this in 2 days. It has 20 episodes, which isn’t very much in my opinion, but nontheless, it’s a great anime. ^^

Even though I saw it in english, and the graphics weren’t all that spectacular, the anime itself has a really great story, AND it’s funny as well. It starts off pretty normal, but the actual ghost stories come up really fast as well! ^^/ Satsuki’s younger brother (Keiichirou) is SO funny! *laughs* It’s not serious at all, and the only somewhat serious parts are mostly turned non-serious by Hajime… I’m not sure if the English one is exactly the same as the Japanese text, because the english text is somehow like it’s voiced-over and made parody-like or something… ^^; Though it has a beautiful ending! (^_^)/ I had a good laugh, and even though I didn’t think I’d start crying at the end, because this didn’t seem possible ’cause of the whole randomness of the series and the fact that almost everything’s made into a joke, I eventually did shed some tears… ^^;

(My favorite character came out to be Amanojaku… ^^; )

Kaoru Wada’s music was used for this anime, and surprisingly, I instantly heared it was D.Gray-Man’s soundtrack! (^_^)/ I really loved this soundtrack, so I was very pleased to hear it again. ^^

All in all, it’s really a great anime.  If you like the genres this anime falls into, I’d definately check this out… (^_^)/

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Itoshiki Nozomu is the world’s most negative person. To his way of thinking, there is no hope or meaning in this existence. Even the three kanji of his name become the two-kanji word zetsubou, “despair”, when compressed. What an ironic twist of fate, then, that he becomes teacher to a class containing his precise opposite, the invincibly positive-minded Fuura Kafuka.

Genres: comedy, drama, slice of life.

Duration: approx. 24 min. pr. episode. – 12 episodes in total. (Season 2: approx. 25 min. pr. episode. – 13 episodes in total.)

I watched this yesterday. I started it and finished it the same day… ^^/ With there only being 12 episodes, you finish it very fast. It’s really the only sad thing about it, but because there’s a second season of it (Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) it’s all good. It’s SO funny though, and through the episodes, I didn’t get tired of it at all! I wanted it to go on and on! *laughs*

It’s actually really stupid, but that’s what makes it funny and cool. Not only this, but the graphics and such are really awesome. I really suggest you watch this if you love anime. That’s really all I can say for my opinion.

 (I don’t have another photo to put in here today, so I’ll just use this one again, seeing this is my standard one… ^^; )

The title doesn’t really mean anything… ^^; It’s just the episode I’m about to watch on Shaman King… I didn’t really know any other title so-… ^^/

Anyways, I haven’t posted in a while…

I didn’t do much different either… I don’t have anything to give my opinion on or really write about…

I played some Osu! and became level 20 today… ^^ But furthermore, I only watched anime and chatted a bit. I’m already over half of the episodes of Shaman King, and I can’t quite help this glad feeling… I feel I saw too much of Shaman King at ones… So, I should probably take a break from it soon and start watching another anime. ^^/ I DID finish Wolf’s Rain and am busy with the OVA now. The OVA was the thing I didn’t get to watch yet, and until now I only got to watch the first episode of it. I love it, but I can’t bring myself to watch through it in a fast pace… >3<;

So, I’ll give it more time! ^^/

I’m still not quite sure which anime to watch, but I’ll see what pops up, huh? =)

I noticed a lot of people on MAL (MyAnimeList) have awesome counter-signatures that show what they’re watching and reading and stuff… I want one too… But I don’t know how… =3=; I hope someone will be able to help me with this soon! *laughs*

Hmm… What more?

Ahh, I was a little busy with the forums I’m admin on. I accepted some members and eventually came to change the cbox of Cruel Arcadia. People’d been asking me to change the background to black, so I did this today. Sadly, one of the members that agreed to the black background in the first place, came and whined about it immediately – at first glance. “I CAN’T SEEEEE!!”… I don’t understand how people can’t see anything on a black background. Frankly, I thought and still think of this as bullsh*t… Everyone can see things on black background but this person… >3>;   Eventually I had to make it clear I wouldn’t change it back. I can’t change everything just to fit this person’s liking. I have to think of other people’s wishes too, you know? ^^;

Thankfully, the whining stopped after a while. I don’t quite care anymore about people’s whining… My sweet, tolerating admin days are clearly over… I’m not sure… When someone is annoying and starts whining/ becoming pissed for not getting their way and such, you won’t get a wonderful reply… I help as much as I can, but that’s really it. I wouldn’t care if annoying people stayed on the forum or not; frankly, I’d rather not have them there at all… =3=;

But, I’m still searching for normal j-rock loving people that also like roleplaying that want to join, so… If you like j-rock and rp-ing, feel free to join… ^^ Just click the button on the “My Sites” list with the “Cruel Arcadia” sign flickering on there… =)

Of course, please don’t think I’m a bitch admin. ^^; I’m really only ‘non-caring’ if it’s annoying people I have to handle. To other people I’m usually nice. So, don’t be afraid to join! XD

OwO;

… My Anime List had been acting very slow yesterday… Right after they moved their server stuff or whatever, it was either very slow or a weird error popped up. Now, when I tried going there today, another error popped up saying:

mySQL Error:

This error is occurring because there’s a problem connecting to the mySQL server. Refresh this page (don’t perma-refresh please) and it should go away soon. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

… This is NOT COOL!!!! DDDD8>

I need my anime list… T^T;

Well, I can only hope that it starts working normally again later on…

Besides this, I watched Shaman King more yesterday… I’ll probably watch Angel Sanctuary too soon… ^^/

(names screened – even though most don’t deserve it… =3=; )

Another thing. Kumby’s cbox.

Kumby’s cbox is sad… really sad. You think you can go there and watch anime with a smile on your face, but the cbox right next to it is really annoying. I know there’s a “hide chat” button, but for curious people, that don’t want to read it but still want to know what’s going on, they won’t push that button. The reason why this cbox is so sad is because there are always people that say negative things… For example, they go “Ewwwww, another baby!” when they see a person under 17 years old. I don’t get this… When youngsters are this young and love anime and manga, isn’t this great? Isn’t this a good thing? Shouldn’t they put up a normal example and don’t act like idiots so those youngsters could start thinking “Wow, anime lovers are so mean!”…They say they’re ’oh-so-old’ and that ’the babies have to gtfo’ but, people acting this way are the real babies… for my opinion. Or of course, another sad thing… When people put their thoughts on an anime, feeling excited… “WOW! Vampire Knight is so cool!” and another person HAS to come around with negative comments again. “You people like lame anime – you people start off with such braindead anime, buuuuh…” <= another thing I don’t understand. Why does it matter so much what anime people look at? Isn’t it true everyone has their own opinions? Isn’t it true people have THE RIGHT to have their own opinion? Fine, some people think otherwise, but do these people HAVE to go on and on about it? I dislike arrogant people, and this one person just annoys me endlessly. “Tsh, the anime I watch are sooo much cooler.”… GOOD FOR YOU. Now stop bugging people about this. You’re ruining their mood. Another great thing is… There are people that like to start fights! Yes! FIGHTS! What’s so awesome about this? I have no idea…

Is it so hard to just obey the rules of the cbox? Is it SO HARD to start acting your ‘proud’ age? And WHERE are the freaking moderators? What are the moderators good for if they don’t check what’s going on or just don’t do anything about these things?

Blegh…

I had to rant, sorry… *laughs*

I guess this was a piece of advise, huh? ^^/ If you ever go to Kumby, avoid the cbox, because this will DEFINATELY ruin your mood.

Now, I’m going to go back to watching awesome anime… 8D;

声！

Oh NEIN!… MyAnimeList.net is offline!!! DDDD8>

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~! T^T;

I guess I’m going to have to wait a bit then… ^^;

Besides this, because of a comment by “Cello” I just got an idea of putting up a list of anime/manga that I like… So, I’m busy with that now (besides having that anime marathon xD )… ^^; I’ll probably also do this with games and j-bands that I like… ^^;

Thank you for that comment!!! ^^/

And thank you for the friend requests on LJ, people!! ^^/

… UGH, MAL has to get online again… fast… XoX/

こりゃ魔法さ☆

Yeah, Photo is Shaman King. Of course. Obviously. Right. XD;

I’m on with an anime marathon these days! XD;

This week, I’ve been watching anime dayly, though I’ve only REWATCHED anime still.

I’ve started on 2009-05-11, which was full of Wolf’s Rain… I already saw this, but because it had been a long time, I rewatched it.

So, this day, I watched episodes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Then, 2009-05-12: Wolf’s Rain episodes – 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

2009-05-13: Wolf’s Rain episodes – 22, 23, 24, 25 , also finally ended Vampire Knight – watched episode: 13 (also rewatched 12) , and also started rewatching Shaman King – episode 1, 2.

Today, I’m planning to watch more Shaman King, because I’ve only ever watched it until 18, because then the TV-channel stopped it. And hopefully, if I can do it, I’ll also finish Wolf’s Rain… >3<; Then, when I finished this, I’m planning to watch Wolf’s Rain OVA… ^^;

… I should also start watching Rozen Maiden Träumend… ^^; But I won’t yet… XD; This series make me want to buy BJD, and this is BAD… Iun have any money to spend! XD; … So, I’ll probably go on with Vampire Knight Guilty… O_O; I found out this existed yesterday… *SNORTS*

I’ll check what is in my Plan to Watch list on MyAnimeList! ^^/

If anyone here has a MyAnimeList – feel free to befriend me! (*points to sidebar* it’s in the links!)

Yeah, what a way to get through time, huh? Anime marathon, yay! XD;

Wolf’s Rain

Wolf’s Rain Summary / Information

In some distant future, it’s common knowledge that all wolves have been extinct for 200 years. However, it seems this is false as wolves have not disappeared but rather have taken human form. Kiba, a lone wolf, wanders into a city, trying to sniff out the Lunar Flowers that are supposed to lead whoever follows the scent to paradise. The source of the smell is Cheza, a girl who sleeps in what appears to be suspended animation in a lab. She and the wolves are drawn to each other, and Kiba hopes to find paradise once he finds the source of the scent of Lunar Flowers. However, once Kiba finds Cheza, she is kidnapped by a mysterious person called Darcia, and his search begins anew. Before he leaves the city, he meets 3 other wolves, Tsume, Hige and Toboe. All four wolves have very different personalities and ideas, and their friendliness towards each other is a little rough around the edges. However, they soon band together to continue to search for paradise.

So, I watched this a long time ago, and am also collecting stuff from it. It’s one of my favorite anime/manga~ ^^/

… It’s just sad it only has a few episodes… =3=; I wish they made more! Why can’t it go on and on like Pokemon?! XD

Just because I don’t want it to officially end, I seriously saved one episode… =3=; Yeah, sad right? <XD;

きらきら～！

Yeah, here I am again! ^^

I just received a letter from this school I signed up for… I know, I haven’t been to school for over 2 years now, but I already knew I wanted to study more, so-… The main thing the letter said was that I am accepted. ^^/ I’m very glad about this! The education, what it is about – Gaming. Yes people, I’m going to design games… *LAUGHS*! XD;

I love games, and I’m glad I’ll be able to learn how to do this, but the sad thing is, I’m going to have to buy a Macbook that will seriously burn a hole in my pocket. This Macbook that I HAVE to buy is over €1300… So, €1300+ for a Macbook, that I need to pay in a few months… OWO;

Oh well… We’ll see how it goes…

I’m going to go back with watching anime now… ^^;

… Ghost Whisperer will be on soon… So, in 2 hours I’m going off for a short while. XD;

YOHO~! >8D;

はじめまして。

Well, what to say! xD;

Welcome to my new blog! 8D;

I’m not quite sure yet, about what I’m going to put on here, but I do have some ideas… Scans, lyrics, reviews, links, anime/manga stuff, games, j-rock stuff… Probably stuff like this… ^^; I may also put stuff for sale on here, so… to be continued… *laughs*

My header is made by an LJ friend of mine, and it’s originally made for the roleplaying forum I created with another friend of mine (link is on the sidebar – click the picture with ~Cruel Arcadia~ flickering on it). Thank you for this!

For now, I guess this is it! ^^/

Stuff about me is at the “About” link on the sidebar. ^^ So, if you want to know more, that’s the place to be! ^^/
