Anime Relations: Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon

It's been a year since I updated this small blog page and I have to admit I've been busy for the past 12 months. I'm graduating this summer, of course with NO flying colors. Soon I would join the ranks of working men and women. I hope I could get a good paying job soon so I could support my anime hobby. I don't mean to brag but I got a job position waiting for me when graduate thanks to my extensive (*Izayaface*) connections. But the pay is not that large though.

So basically what am I doing recently?

I'm playing both Cybernations and Nationstates after I was inspired by Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon. A politics-maniac friend of mine also infected me with his obsession and now I want to become more politically aware than I used to be.

Other than playing online games, I played a couple of VN titles, mostly Japanese, like "Tropical Kiss", "Henshin!!!", SSSS, Photokano, and Born Freaks. The list fewer than the usual since I'm working more in my academics since this year will be the "final sprint" of my college life.

Finally, I'm postponing my VN making ideas for few more years. Yeah I said "postpone" not 'abandon". Making a VN someday is one of my goals but right now I don't have the skills to make a VN yet. I have yet to learn how to make a code or produce music. I'm not satisfied with my drawing skills yet. Finally I have to study well to improve my writing.

That's all for now and I really appreciate people reading this blog (as if someone would read it).

PS: Next time I'm going to write something more interesting.

Last time I posted what anime OP's which are my all time favorite. This time I'm going to post my favorite anime ending themes. Koi no shirushi is my favorite and I got a separate playlist for all the versions, lol.

Koi no Shirushi - The World God Only Knows

I love all versions.

My Fellows - Carnival Phantasm

A typemoon fag like me is expected to like this ending theme, lol.

ZZZ - Nichijou ED1

I'm a sucker for bossa nova. I like all version, still.

Neverland - Ore Tachi ni Tsubasa wa nai


Dango Daikazoku - Clannad

Clannad have touched our hearts. Hearing this piece makes me emotional and somewhat fuzzy. My 4 y/o brother can sing this , lol.

Yakusoku - The Idolmaster ED

I realized that my list is getting sadder or emotional. This particular ending is really touching.

==================

With nothing new to watch this week, I decided to create this list of OPs that I liked. I never get tired listening to them especially the Kannagi OP and Zoku Natsume OP. Princess Lover OP made into the list just recently and I rewatched it.

Hyadain no Joujou (Nichijou OP2)

-----------------------
No original Kannagi OP on youtube so I had to use Chihaya's version, lol

For some time, I become artistic and itching to make something creative here are my musterpieces,lol
Made everything with sai paint because I'm not good with photoshop.

Very first one. I was advised to put lighting, shadows and whatsoever by my roommate. Original image came from a rough sketch of early design of Izuna of the DS game. I had to make my own outline thus its a hard work for a first one.



My favorite yet one of my first few works. Patchouli is my favorite character and I like the way I outlined it with cartoon style. Coloring is smooth cause I mainly used layering. Image came from one of Zun's books. I think I overdid in the weight and thickness of the outlines and adopted a cool style. But as this style is time consuming, I had to adopt a new technique.



Next one is about KuroKanon, Elsie impersonating Kanon. Had the trouble to put background. I really wouldn't want to put this here but oh well. I messed up with layers.



This one's from the special chapter of TWGOK. I love this art not only because Kanon is in swimsuit but I loved how I ended up with this. I colored everything to my liking, like the mic and the swimwear while keeping other things like hair, eyes and the ribbon the same. This is my wallpaper for the longest time. I also colored the stars and it kinda remind me of Marisa Kirisame, lol.



Haqua fever!!! While I didn't like tsundere (except for the few), I liked her for having red eyes and purple hair. I was going to color the other one (swimsuit) when I realized that this is better. I based everything from the original. I retained the background since this is not my forte.



You guys, can use my works for whatever reason but be sure to never steal them.
