Greetings, and welcome to the 2015 Winter / Spring Edition of the Namine's Café Newsletter
First, I would like to thank everyone who has joined the cafe, as well as those who actively support us. After being open for less than 18 months, we are closing in on 5000 members and 100 affiliations. And Namine's cafe just recently passed the incredible milestone of 8000 pages of chat comments (that's 160,000 comments), the first club in MAL to ever achieve this goal.
We have an amazing amount of things happening at the cafe: First, we have three major competitions coming, including an Anime Couples Competition, a Voice Actor Competition, as well as the 2nd Annual Namine's Cafe Best Girl Competition. We'll also be having several other small competitions along the way, including an Anime Scavenger Hunt, a Best Scene Competition, a card making competition, plus many more. In addition to our competitions, there some big news at the cafe. First of all, Skype is back!!! While we still have a dedicated IRC chat, we've brought back Skype, and it's as popular as it ever was in the cafe. Also, member card editions are returning to the cafe shortly, with some of the best card makers in MAL signed up to help make wonderful cards, so stop by early and often to see what cards are available.
The details for each of our event sare listed in the below spoilers:
Namine's Café Anime Couple's Competition
Following the success of our previous competitions we held last year, we've decided to follow that up with another competition. Last month, we held a vote on what type of character competition we should hold, and Couple's Competition won.
Here's how it works:
The competition takes place in two phases. The first phase is where everyone gets to nominate a couple for the competition. You can nominate up to 3 anime/manga couples. They must be a real couple in the anime (no wishful thinking here :-)), having at least dated or kissed in the anime as a minimum. You rank your nominees from 1 to 3. The ranking determines how many points each character gets, like so:
#1 choice is worth 5 points
#2 choice is worth 3 points
#3 choice is worth 1 points
The points each character gets from each members nomination are cumulative, and when the nominations are over, the points will be counted, and the top 32 couples will compete in a double elimination bracket style competition where then members vote on them in one on one, er... two on two, competitions xD.
The nomination phase will last 15 days, starting on Sunday, 2/15/2015, and will close on Saturday, 2/28/2015. The first voting competition will start on Tuesday, 3/3/2015. A new competition will start every day, and each vote is open for 2 days. If a couple wins, they move on to the next round. If a couple loses, they move to the single loss bracket, where they will face off against the other match losers. If a couple wins their match in the second bracket, they will move on for another match in the second bracket. If they lose a match in the second bracket, they are out. This means that even if your favorite couple loses, they still have a chance.
Here are the rules:
As stated above, you can nominate up to 3 anime/manga couples. It can be less than 3, but it cannot be more. Any couple over the first 3 will be removed.
The couple must be a couple in the anime/manga. If they are not, but are a couple, or have kissed or dated in a LN or VN, then they will be accepted (proof must be provided in this case). Straight, yuri, and yaoi couples are acceptable. For threesomes and love triangles, make a choice on which pairing to nominate (or nominate both separately :-)).
List the full name of both characters in the couple to be nominated, as well as an anime that they are in. Hot-linking the characters to their MAL page is welcome, but not required.
Only one nomination list per member, please.
Namine's Café Second Annual Best Girl Competition
Our first competition last year, the Moe Competition, was an incredible success. This is the second annual competition, but instead of just moe girls, all girls will be allowed to be nominated.
Here's how it works:
Similar to last year's Moe Competition and the Couples Competition, this competition also takes place in two phases. The first phase is where everyone gets to nominate supporting characters for the competition. Since we're allowing all girls, we're also increasing the field of play. You can nominate up to 7 anime characters, listed in the MAL database. They can be your favorites, or just characters that you believe are the most cool. You rank your nominees from 1 to 7. The ranking determines how many points each girl gets, with special bonus points for #1 & #2 pics, like so:
#1 choice is worth 10 points
#2 choice is worth 7 points
#3 choice is worth 5 points
#4 choice is worth 4 points
#5 choice is worth 3 points
#6 choice is worth 2 points
#7 choice is worth 1 point
The points each character gets from each members nomination are cumulative, and when the nominations are over, the points will be counted, and the top 64 girls will compete in a single elimination bracket style competition where then members vote on them in one on one competitions.
The nomination phase will last 15 days, starting sometime in March (exact date TBD). The first voting competition will start shortly after the nominations have been closed. A new competition will start every day, and each vote is open for 2 days. Because the field will be double the size of the other competitions, the best girl competition will be single elimination and not double elimination.
Here are the rules:
As stated above, you can nominate up to 7 anime girls.
The nominee must be listed in MAL, and must be in at least one an anime - sorry, but no pure manga girls allowed. Furthermore, nominees must be female - no traps allowed.
List the full name of each character to be nominated, as well as an anime that she is in. Hot-linking the character to their MAL page is welcome, but not required.
Only one nomination list per member, please.
No double nominating. Meaning that the same character is nominated as your 1st and 3rd choice. If this happens, the 2nd listing will be removed.
Namine's Café Voice Actor Competition
Another competition we'll be having is the Voice Actor Competition
Here's how it works:
The competition takes place in three phases. The first phase is where everyone gets to nominate Voice Actors the competitions. You can nominate up to 5 Japanese Voice Actors, and up to 5 non-Japanese Voice Actors. Following the nominations, there will be two separate competitions: one for Japanese VAs and one for non-Japanese VAs. The VAs must be listed in MAL. You rank your nominees from 1 to 5. The ranking determines how many points each character gets, like so:
#1 choice is worth 5 points
#2 choice is worth 4 points
#3 choice is worth 3 points
#4 choice is worth 2 points
#5 choice is worth 1 point
The points each VA gets from each members nomination are cumulative, and when the nominations are over, the points will be counted, and the top 32 Japanese VAs and the top 32 non-Japanese VAs will compete in separate single elimination bracket style competition where then members vote on them in one on one competitions.
The nomination phase will last 15 days, starting sometime in April / May (exact date TBD). The first voting competition will start shortly after the nominations have been closed. A new competition will start every other day, with the Japanese and non-Japanese matches alternating, with each vote open for 2 days. Because there will be two separate competitions, the field will be double the size of the other competitions, similar to the best girl competition, so the VA competitions will be single elimination and not double elimination.
Here are the rules:
As stated above, you can nominate up to 10 Voice Actors - 5 Japanese and 5 English a/o non-Japanese.
The VAs must be listed in MAL.
List the full name of the VA, as well as at least one to two characters they've portrayed (so that others know who they are). Hot-linking the VAs to their MAL page is welcome, but not required.
Sometime witin the next couple of months, we'll hold an Anime Scavenger Hunt. There will be prizes for the winners.
Here's how it works:
The scavenger hunt will actually be a series of hunts, differing in levels of difficulty. Every couple days, a list will be pulished at the cafe for a new hunt. The list will contain objects, characters, quotes, etc. The job of the hunters is to find what anime the items on the list come from.
Here are the rules:
Each list will contain a set of items that need to be identified from specifica anime. The list will also include a MAL user account
If an item on the list can be found in multiple anime, listing o ne of the anime is acceptable
Teaming up is allowed
When all the items have been identified, a PM needs to be sent to the user account identified on the list. The first PM, based on datestamp, that correctly identifies everything on the list is the winner.
Namine's Café Best Scene Competition
Another competition the cafe will be having is the best scene competition.
Here's how it works:
The competition takes place in two phases. First, anyone can nominate up to two scenes that they like in anime - either it's really funny, sad, kawaii, uber-erotic, etc. To enter a nomination, members will need to make a snippet of an anime containing that scene and turn it into a video. Scenes can be up to 5 minutes long. The first 50 scenes will be accepted. If turnout is high, that can be increased. Once all the nominations are in, the compettions will begin. Each week, 5 scenes will be selected at random and added to a poll therad. The top vote counter will win that week. The #2 vote counter will also stay alive. Follign the 10 weeks of voting, the 10 2nd placers will compete in 2 weekly votes, with the 2 winners added to the 10 1st placers. The 12 remaining scenes will vote in 4 separate votes of 3 random scenes each, with the winner going to the final. The championship will be a week long vote of the final 3 scenes. The one who submitted the winning scene will win a major prize.
Namine's Café card making competition
Namine's cafe will hold a card making competiton, where anyone who wants to try to make a card can join. Once the competition starts, there will be a 2 - 3 week period where everyone can make and submit a single member card. The cards (exact number TBD), will then be pitted against each other in head to head competitions. Don't think you can make a card - don't worry so much. Try your cand at making a card and who knows, if coul dbe amazing.
Namine's Café Skype Group
The cafe once again has Skype. please Click Here for more information on the Skype Group, and to get an invitation to it.
Namine's Café Official Steam Group Activities
As many of you are aware, the Cafe has it's own Steam Group. Please click here for more information on the Steam Group, and to get an invitation to it. We are currently planning some possible Steam game tournaments in the future, and feedback on this would be awesome. Also, we may be getting our Minecraft server back, as well.
Ohmygod. Noiz. ❤ He's the guy with the blonde hair and insane number of piercings right? I could've downloaded the game for him alone. Clear intrigues me, just what kind of dreamy bishie is underneath that mask of his? *-* Haha, thanks for advice, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with EVERY single route! If that's possible. :P
You can end up with the dog?!? (◉_◉) Okay, it's Japan, I won't question the game. And because you said that even the dog's route was good, I'm guessing the game does not transcend into bestiality. I trust your words!
Nope. Totallydidnothavealife. And even if I did, that'd be fine because: Life < addicting games containing an insane cast of bishie boys
I'm pretty sure a lot of fangirls would feel the exact same way. I don't care if it's even hardcore or not, just give me kiss scenes and I'll be more than happy! ^-^ The first episode did look promising in the BL department though with Koujaku and Aoba's conversation! Hopefully, this will turn out to be a half decent adaptation! But don't keep your expectations too high because we all know how well BL games have been translated into anime form before.
OHMYGOD, I'M GOING TO DIE FROM ASPHYXIATION. I think you are seriously trying to kill me off before I manage to install the game. Poor Koujaku!! Haha, that's gold! xD
Welp, I ended up downloading Dramatical Murder because you hyped it up big time for me! After watching that first episode, I just feel like I'm going to be missing something if I don't... xD
If I am not on MAL for the next month, my parents have probably murdered me and worst of all banned me from the internet and all other forms of technology. But don't worry, my spirit will eventually come back to talk to you and of course finish off Free!
My eyes hurt because it's 3 in the morning, and my dad has a habit of waking up in the middle of the night, so I'm guarding the computer paranoidly. (⊙‿⊙✿) 3 hours left downloading time!
Nope, I've actually heard it. Well, part of it anyways. It's in the new preview for Book of Circus! I tried searching for it too, but as far as I know it's only in this video:
Just send me a friend request, and I'll send a trial right your way! ^-^ (I only have the short ones though, I don't know if they get longer or not the more I send out)
AH, OKAY I'M SORRY, I JUST COULDN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!! I MEAN, I CAN'T JUST LET YOU SLEEP THROUGH THE NEWEST EPISODE OF FREE WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE IS FANGIRLING AND FAINTING FROM BLOOD LOSS! ;-;
(And for the record,I'm pretty sure that you secretly loved me for keeping you up those 20347 hours. ;D )
Oh my god...maybe that is it. And hence Rin's look of: "OH MY GOD HELP ME, HE'S BACK AND I THINK IM GONNA FAINT RIGHT ON THE SPOT" And the smirk is almost giving me the impression that he isn't quite as stoic as we thought. More narcissistic...HMMMM...maybe a stoic narcissist? Is that even possible?
I didn't think it was possible, but the OP is even more amazing than the last one. The beginning where it flashes between the team underwater and then the bird's shadow is my favorite part. (And zoom in of smiling Mamakoto!♥ ) *aggressive fangirling* http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liu5infKLj1qit92oo1_500.gif
HAHA, THOSE PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS BECAUSE I DON"T KNOW HOW THEY CAN JUST SIT ALL CALM WHEN THEY HAVE ALL THESE TONED HALF NAKED GUYS ON STAGE. LIKE, I'D BE THAT ONE GIRL WITH THE SWIM CLUB FLAG AND MEGAPHONE CHEERING HER ASS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A DEAD SILENT ROOM FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
OKAY WE NEED A NEW SHIP NAME!!! HOW DOES RINMAKOHARUNAGITORIREISOU SOUND?? IS THAT A BIT OF A MOUTHFUL? ANY BETTER SHIP NAMES?
Gou's kawaii fangirling was intensified by over 9000 this episode. *-*
I REALLY WANNT KNOW WHO THAT IS BADLY. I'm thinking it's either Sousuke or Haru. ;) The jacket seems to look like Iwatobi's, but I'm not too sure. I think the coloring on the sleeves may be a little too dark. :( But, for all I know, Haru could just be wearing a casual sweater. BUT, from what I've seen, it also seems to be the type of thing Sousuke would wear, and something just gives me the impression that this mystery guy is more heavy built. What about you?
Haha, sorry for sending you three messages. Buuut, I forgot to ask. ;-;
Do you happen to have a Crunchyroll Account? I happen to have gotten a membership, and if you ever want to catch the newest Free! episode as soon as it's subbed, I can give you trials. :)
OH. MY. GOD. DON'T READ THIS BEFORE YOU WATCH FREE! EPISODE 1 BECAUSE... O.O
I HAVE NO CLUE WHO I AM EVEN SHIPPING ANYMORE. RINHARU?!? MAKOHARU?!? SOURIN?!? RINTORI?!?!? HELP ME I'M CONFUSED!!! RINHARU INTERACTIONS WERE JUST SO INSANELY CUTE! PARALLELS BETWEEN RIN AND HARU BECAUSE OF THOSE LITTLE SHITS THAT RAN IN FRONT OF THEM. RIN CRYING WITH THE POOL FULL OF SAKURAS. EMBARASSED MAKOTO! MAKO'S AND HARU'S HAND FALLING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER IN THE OPENING!! THE OPENING!!! O.O AHHH!!! A PART OF ME REALLY WANTS RINHARU TO BE CANON BUT THEN SOUSUKE CAME WITH HIS F*CKING SMIRK AND I ALSO JUST ASDFGHJKL!! SOUSUKE IS BANNED FROM SMIRKING FROM NOW ON, ESPECIALLY AT RIN, BECAUSE I CAN'T HANDLE IT!!AND THE ENDING!!CUTIE FIREFIGHTER MAKO AND SEXY COP RIN! RIN BEING CAPTAIN! ;-; RIN IN GENERAL!! OKAY I AM NOT GONNA RAMBLE ABOUT FREE ANY MORE BECAUSE I AM COMPLETELY ILLITERATE.
No. I haven’t just manga for me. But I want to try one! The only problem is me getting my hands on one… ;-;
Gah!! I love Regret too! The lyrics are pretty depressing (naturally), not as bad as SOME songs though… (I’m looking at you Taion)
HAHAHA, oh my god, I didn’t even know those songs existed. xD That’s hilarious. Maybe they translate into something less disturbing in Japanese? O.O …I hope. Actually, Burial Applicant, and Cassis are two of my favorite songs. Looks like you get to survive for today… :/ Those two and Vortex.
Have you ever heard of a band called Man With A Mission? Can’t say they’re as attractive as the Gazette (and by that I mean I really can’t say because they always wear masks), but their music is amazing, especially if you’re looking for lighter, happier J-Rock.If you haven’t heard of them definitely listen to “Higher”, “Emotions”, “Fly Again”, and “Take Me Home”. Oh, and give Asian Kung-Fu Generation (again, not nearly as attractive) a try too! They have a pretty neat punk rock sound. I can’t stop listening to “Haruka Kanata”
Twilight… -_- *shudders at awful memories of middle school self* I haven’t kept up to date with the Kuro manga, but apparently we have some more pedophiliac yaoi subtext to look forward to : Involving a bath and Ciel exclaiming “What’s happening to me??”
Ohmygod yes. First person games are absolutely the worst. Amnesia. That is all. Just wait until we have virtual-reality versions of these horror games... O.O Have you ever played Dream of The Blood Moon? O.O
YOU CAN’T EAT SUSHI WHILE YOU’RE PREGNANT?!?!? WUT?!?!? WHY??? :( Like, I understand chocolate and alcohol and stuff, but…SUSHI??? WHAT DO THOSE BABIES HAVE AGAINST RAW FISH??? Picky little things… -_- Yup, looks like its 100 cats for me too.
Are you sure? You don’t seem to be really fond of it. xD
You mean Zero has been replaced? *gasps* Oh my god… LUKA… THAT GUY GAVE ME AN OBSESSION WITH CUFF EARINGS ON GUYS. And his eyes… *melts*
No, I haven’t, but I really want to! >.< I keep on seeing it everywhere, and I feel like I’m really missing out… ;-; But I need to find a way to play it without my parents finding out. From what I’ve seen of it, it’s like a yaoi with really dark elements? Tell me if I’m wrong. xD Where did you download it from?
Open world Zelda would make my dreams come true! No more running into pointless walls. *-* My only problem with the new game is that they were talking about the temples having no order, and that kind of scares me considering that’s basically been a big part of Zelda since forever. I’m a little worried that it’ll ruin the puzzle solving of that is general a huge part of Zelda. But at the same time, it is Nintendo after all, and they rarely disappoint when it comes to their games. I thought the exact same thing when Pokemon X and Y took the jump to 3D but they’re now my favorite games in the series. I already spent that much when Wind Waker HD came out. xD And of course the anticipation of SSB. Hyyyypeee. It’s honestly not really worth even owning a Wii U now though. The library just isn’t big enough and it’s been sitting collecting dust for a looooong time now.
And you can’t forget: “Master, it appears the batteries in your wii remote are nearly depleted” YES, YES YOU TOLD ME THAT FIVE MINUTES AGO AND TRUST ME I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN AND I JUST REALLY WISH THAT I COULD PLAY THIS GAME WITHOUT YOU INTERRUPTING ME NOW. PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME GET ON WITH MY LIFE.
Haha, no need to apologize. But if your wii is still operational (unlike mine) and you’d like to try out a new Zelda game, buy it from the E-Store! It doesn’t disappoint! (But then again, I have a thing for post-apocalyptic save the world before it falls to doom race the clock games.)
I SEE YOU FINISHED IT TOO. I can’t wait either! ^-^ But I’m actually kind of dreading that there won’t be a third season at all, because so many anime stop at episode 50. And if there isn’t I will never be able to see my favorite psychopath Akashi animated in all of his glory...Is it just me or does the zone make them all look a billion times sexier?
On the other hand it could be called being highly motivated to not do anything. ;)
Yes I had my exams, and ummm…I guess I didn’t fail any. xD I’m pretty sure my math went down the drain, but that’s to be expected from me. I kind of gave up a lot while studying and decided to watch Naruto (Hence, why I have watched 50+ episodes the last three weeks), and I seemed to spend a lot of the time in my exams blankly looking at my page but most were multiple choice and I surprisingly got over 80 in most of them. I almost died from exhaustion on multiple occasions. O.O How about you? I’m guessing you had your exams as well! ^-^
And I also noticed you started Haikyuu! What do you think of it???
As you can probably see, I came home early. (Thank the lord or whatever other majestic deity gave me rain, oh my god) It poured for five days straight where we were camping and my family decided that they did not want to spend another couple days stuffed in our camper without internet connection and all that other good shit such as breathing room that comes with a house. I tried my best to act sad, but that’s not the case at all. (Rain is my best friend after all) So we can express all the fanfeelings we want when Free airs! As I am typing this free is only 20 minutes away from being released in all its subbed glory on Crunchyroll. *-*
I had to notify everybody that I know that I am no longer available on Wednesdays. The watching of Free! will no doubt leave me with immense blood loss and feels for the rest of the day.
I did too! When I first saw his sketch I thought his coloring was going to be similar to Makoto’s but with gold eyes or something. (But apparently Rin has a thing for dudes with black hair and blue eyes, eh? ;D) Possibly, or maybe he was the type of guy to slap Rin and keep him in line when he was about to do something adorably stupid. xD
And you want to come visit Canada? I think you just might die. I MEAN, NO WHO AM I KIDDING CANADA IS NEVER THAT COLD IT’S NEVER ON AVERAGE UNDER -365. NEVER. OH AND ALL THAT SNOW IS NOT ACTUALLY SNOW, IT’S ACTUALLY SALT. THAT’S WHY IT NEVER MELTS.
Speaking of water, my town is actually in a code of emergency due to flooding! SANDBAGGING FOR MY WEEKEND, HELL YEAH.
Unfortunately the episode count does not live up to that name, 13 episodes. ;-; At least it’s one more than last year. I’m wanting a third season already. Actually, when Rin asked that, the first thought that came to mind was: “JFC Rin, you didn’t know?!? Of course, they’re gonna get married.” And then when Rin said to Haru: “I’m going to make you hot” *dirty thoughts* I AM NOT ASHAMED! My fangirl mentality seems to constantly blind me to the fact that this show is, in fact, a sports anime, not a BL. But yeah, later the line actually clicked in and then I was suddenly saddened by the fact that those boys might actually dare split ways after this season, and go off to college, and to the Olympics, and to solitary lives in the bathtub. And then thoughts of Makoto going away to Tokyo on a train and Rin flying away to train for the Olympics…I can’t deal with this… ;- ;
I still can’t believe that Makoto’s seiyuu sings both openings. He has such a growly voice when he sings and then when he’s Makoto, he just…doesn’t. O.O
Speaking of amazing OPs, did you hear Kuro’s new opening “Enamel”? Gah, SID. ^^ What a pleasing sound to my ears.
Heeeeey, High School Slice of Life was practically safe until Clannad rolled around. ;) I wouldn’t doubt that. A riot…and perhaps with safety cones… O.O Resuscitation scene involving Rin? >:D Okay, but it ACTUALLY HAS TO HAPPEN THIS TIME. I DON’T WANT NO TROLLING FROM YOU KYOANI. BEHAVE YOURSELF.
You like Suzaku?!?!? Finally! :’) I swear, everybody hates Suzaku, but now I’ve finally met somebody else who likes him, and gah! You like Alois and Suzaku, I am so happy. ^-^ Don’t know why people hate on the poor bby.
Haha, I agree. I have to admit, for the longest time I couldn’t get over Code Geass’ art style because I thought they all looked like noodles. But then I fell in love with the god known as Lelouch. (And Kallen :P )
OH MY FUCKING GOD FREE JUST STARTED!!!!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD THE OPENING IS AMAZING!!! OKAY, I AM GOING TO POST THIS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW (POSSIBLY) AND I WILL RESPOND TO EVERYTHING ELSE LATER!!!! I AM SO EXCITED I THINK I AM GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!!
The saddest thing is I probably won't even be able to fangirl over the first Free episode with you because I'm going away camping that week... ;-; WHY?!?!? YOU COME BACK AND THEN I HAVE TO LEAVE. WHY, WORLD, WHY?!?!?!
Arghhhh, I'm so happy right now and I can't even put it into words....I'm so glad you're back! ;-;

SO THE CAKE COMES FROM DMMD?!?!? HOLY SHIT, WHEN I FIRST SAW IT I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS AOBA.
OHMYGOD, I'M GOING TO DIE FROM ASPHYXIATION. I think you are seriously trying to kill me off before I manage to install the game. Poor Koujaku!! Haha, that's gold! xD

It starts around 1:09. ;D
And the ending sounds pretty amazing too.
Just send me a friend request, and I'll send a trial right your way! ^-^ (I only have the short ones though, I don't know if they get longer or not the more I send out)

It airs subbed at 11 AM for me *cackles madly*
Makoharu and Rinharu may come and go, but Reigisa is forever. ♥ Oh my god. Speaking of Nagisa, did you see this in the opening?

I didn't think it was possible, but the OP is even more amazing than the last one. The beginning where it flashes between the team underwater and then the bird's shadow is my favorite part. (And zoom in of smiling Mamakoto!♥ ) *aggressive fangirling*

HAHA, THOSE PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS BECAUSE I DON"T KNOW HOW THEY CAN JUST SIT ALL CALM WHEN THEY HAVE ALL THESE TONED HALF NAKED GUYS ON STAGE. LIKE, I'D BE THAT ONE GIRL WITH THE SWIM CLUB FLAG AND MEGAPHONE CHEERING HER ASS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A DEAD SILENT ROOM FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
OKAY WE NEED A NEW SHIP NAME!!! HOW DOES RINMAKOHARUNAGITORIREISOU SOUND?? IS THAT A BIT OF A MOUTHFUL? ANY BETTER SHIP NAMES?
Gou's kawaii fangirling was intensified by over 9000 this episode. *-*
I REALLY WANNT KNOW WHO THAT IS BADLY. I'm thinking it's either Sousuke or Haru. ;) The jacket seems to look like Iwatobi's, but I'm not too sure. I think the coloring on the sleeves may be a little too dark. :( But, for all I know, Haru could just be wearing a casual sweater. BUT, from what I've seen, it also seems to be the type of thing Sousuke would wear, and something just gives me the impression that this mystery guy is more heavy built. What about you?
*wipes tears from eyes and slow claps* :')
What a piece of art. They've captured Sebastian and Ciel's relationship so beautifully and realistically. 3 thumbs up! 7 stars! 15/10!

No problem. xD I actually don't mind these rapid fire Free discussions at all!
Do you happen to have a Crunchyroll Account? I happen to have gotten a membership, and if you ever want to catch the newest Free! episode as soon as it's subbed, I can give you trials. :)
I HAVE NO CLUE WHO I AM EVEN SHIPPING ANYMORE. RINHARU?!? MAKOHARU?!? SOURIN?!? RINTORI?!?!? HELP ME I'M CONFUSED!!! RINHARU INTERACTIONS WERE JUST SO INSANELY CUTE! PARALLELS BETWEEN RIN AND HARU BECAUSE OF THOSE LITTLE SHITS THAT RAN IN FRONT OF THEM. RIN CRYING WITH THE POOL FULL OF SAKURAS. EMBARASSED MAKOTO! MAKO'S AND HARU'S HAND FALLING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER IN THE OPENING!! THE OPENING!!! O.O AHHH!!! A PART OF ME REALLY WANTS RINHARU TO BE CANON BUT THEN SOUSUKE CAME WITH HIS F*CKING SMIRK AND I ALSO JUST ASDFGHJKL!! SOUSUKE IS BANNED FROM SMIRKING FROM NOW ON, ESPECIALLY AT RIN, BECAUSE I CAN'T HANDLE IT!!AND THE ENDING!!CUTIE FIREFIGHTER MAKO AND SEXY COP RIN! RIN BEING CAPTAIN! ;-; RIN IN GENERAL!! OKAY I AM NOT GONNA RAMBLE ABOUT FREE ANY MORE BECAUSE I AM COMPLETELY ILLITERATE.
No. I haven’t just manga for me. But I want to try one! The only problem is me getting my hands on one… ;-;
Gah!! I love Regret too! The lyrics are pretty depressing (naturally), not as bad as SOME songs though… (I’m looking at you Taion)
HAHAHA, oh my god, I didn’t even know those songs existed. xD That’s hilarious. Maybe they translate into something less disturbing in Japanese? O.O …I hope. Actually, Burial Applicant, and Cassis are two of my favorite songs. Looks like you get to survive for today… :/ Those two and Vortex.
Have you ever heard of a band called Man With A Mission? Can’t say they’re as attractive as the Gazette (and by that I mean I really can’t say because they always wear masks), but their music is amazing, especially if you’re looking for lighter, happier J-Rock.If you haven’t heard of them definitely listen to “Higher”, “Emotions”, “Fly Again”, and “Take Me Home”. Oh, and give Asian Kung-Fu Generation (again, not nearly as attractive) a try too! They have a pretty neat punk rock sound. I can’t stop listening to “Haruka Kanata”
Twilight… -_- *shudders at awful memories of middle school self* I haven’t kept up to date with the Kuro manga, but apparently we have some more pedophiliac yaoi subtext to look forward to : Involving a bath and Ciel exclaiming “What’s happening to me??”
Ohmygod yes. First person games are absolutely the worst. Amnesia. That is all. Just wait until we have virtual-reality versions of these horror games... O.O Have you ever played Dream of The Blood Moon? O.O
YOU CAN’T EAT SUSHI WHILE YOU’RE PREGNANT?!?!? WUT?!?!? WHY??? :( Like, I understand chocolate and alcohol and stuff, but…SUSHI??? WHAT DO THOSE BABIES HAVE AGAINST RAW FISH??? Picky little things… -_- Yup, looks like its 100 cats for me too.
Are you sure? You don’t seem to be really fond of it. xD
You mean Zero has been replaced? *gasps* Oh my god… LUKA… THAT GUY GAVE ME AN OBSESSION WITH CUFF EARINGS ON GUYS. And his eyes… *melts*
No, I haven’t, but I really want to! >.< I keep on seeing it everywhere, and I feel like I’m really missing out… ;-; But I need to find a way to play it without my parents finding out. From what I’ve seen of it, it’s like a yaoi with really dark elements? Tell me if I’m wrong. xD Where did you download it from?
And you can’t forget about THIS hairstyle:

Whatever it is… O.O
Haha, I wish my brothers were cool like that. Nope, all they talk about is Minecraft, which I really don’t understand to be honest. :/
Or he could’ve travelled to the future and traded places with alternate timeline Link for THIS babe ;)

Open world Zelda would make my dreams come true! No more running into pointless walls. *-* My only problem with the new game is that they were talking about the temples having no order, and that kind of scares me considering that’s basically been a big part of Zelda since forever. I’m a little worried that it’ll ruin the puzzle solving of that is general a huge part of Zelda. But at the same time, it is Nintendo after all, and they rarely disappoint when it comes to their games. I thought the exact same thing when Pokemon X and Y took the jump to 3D but they’re now my favorite games in the series. I already spent that much when Wind Waker HD came out. xD And of course the anticipation of SSB. Hyyyypeee. It’s honestly not really worth even owning a Wii U now though. The library just isn’t big enough and it’s been sitting collecting dust for a looooong time now.
And you can’t forget: “Master, it appears the batteries in your wii remote are nearly depleted” YES, YES YOU TOLD ME THAT FIVE MINUTES AGO AND TRUST ME I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN AND I JUST REALLY WISH THAT I COULD PLAY THIS GAME WITHOUT YOU INTERRUPTING ME NOW. PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME GET ON WITH MY LIFE.
Haha, no need to apologize. But if your wii is still operational (unlike mine) and you’d like to try out a new Zelda game, buy it from the E-Store! It doesn’t disappoint! (But then again, I have a thing for post-apocalyptic save the world before it falls to doom race the clock games.)
I SEE YOU FINISHED IT TOO. I can’t wait either! ^-^ But I’m actually kind of dreading that there won’t be a third season at all, because so many anime stop at episode 50. And if there isn’t I will never be able to see my favorite psychopath Akashi animated in all of his glory...Is it just me or does the zone make them all look a billion times sexier?
On the other hand it could be called being highly motivated to not do anything. ;)
Yes I had my exams, and ummm…I guess I didn’t fail any. xD I’m pretty sure my math went down the drain, but that’s to be expected from me. I kind of gave up a lot while studying and decided to watch Naruto (Hence, why I have watched 50+ episodes the last three weeks), and I seemed to spend a lot of the time in my exams blankly looking at my page but most were multiple choice and I surprisingly got over 80 in most of them. I almost died from exhaustion on multiple occasions. O.O How about you? I’m guessing you had your exams as well! ^-^
And I also noticed you started Haikyuu! What do you think of it???
As you can probably see, I came home early. (Thank the lord or whatever other majestic deity gave me rain, oh my god) It poured for five days straight where we were camping and my family decided that they did not want to spend another couple days stuffed in our camper without internet connection and all that other good shit such as breathing room that comes with a house. I tried my best to act sad, but that’s not the case at all. (Rain is my best friend after all) So we can express all the fanfeelings we want when Free airs! As I am typing this free is only 20 minutes away from being released in all its subbed glory on Crunchyroll. *-*
I had to notify everybody that I know that I am no longer available on Wednesdays. The watching of Free! will no doubt leave me with immense blood loss and feels for the rest of the day.
I did too! When I first saw his sketch I thought his coloring was going to be similar to Makoto’s but with gold eyes or something. (But apparently Rin has a thing for dudes with black hair and blue eyes, eh? ;D) Possibly, or maybe he was the type of guy to slap Rin and keep him in line when he was about to do something adorably stupid. xD
And you want to come visit Canada? I think you just might die. I MEAN, NO WHO AM I KIDDING CANADA IS NEVER THAT COLD IT’S NEVER ON AVERAGE UNDER -365. NEVER. OH AND ALL THAT SNOW IS NOT ACTUALLY SNOW, IT’S ACTUALLY SALT. THAT’S WHY IT NEVER MELTS.
Speaking of water, my town is actually in a code of emergency due to flooding! SANDBAGGING FOR MY WEEKEND, HELL YEAH.
Unfortunately the episode count does not live up to that name, 13 episodes. ;-; At least it’s one more than last year. I’m wanting a third season already. Actually, when Rin asked that, the first thought that came to mind was: “JFC Rin, you didn’t know?!? Of course, they’re gonna get married.” And then when Rin said to Haru: “I’m going to make you hot” *dirty thoughts* I AM NOT ASHAMED! My fangirl mentality seems to constantly blind me to the fact that this show is, in fact, a sports anime, not a BL. But yeah, later the line actually clicked in and then I was suddenly saddened by the fact that those boys might actually dare split ways after this season, and go off to college, and to the Olympics, and to solitary lives in the bathtub. And then thoughts of Makoto going away to Tokyo on a train and Rin flying away to train for the Olympics…I can’t deal with this… ;- ;
I still can’t believe that Makoto’s seiyuu sings both openings. He has such a growly voice when he sings and then when he’s Makoto, he just…doesn’t. O.O
Speaking of amazing OPs, did you hear Kuro’s new opening “Enamel”? Gah, SID. ^^ What a pleasing sound to my ears.
Heeeeey, High School Slice of Life was practically safe until Clannad rolled around. ;) I wouldn’t doubt that. A riot…and perhaps with safety cones… O.O Resuscitation scene involving Rin? >:D Okay, but it ACTUALLY HAS TO HAPPEN THIS TIME. I DON’T WANT NO TROLLING FROM YOU KYOANI. BEHAVE YOURSELF.
You like Suzaku?!?!? Finally! :’) I swear, everybody hates Suzaku, but now I’ve finally met somebody else who likes him, and gah! You like Alois and Suzaku, I am so happy. ^-^ Don’t know why people hate on the poor bby.
Haha, I agree. I have to admit, for the longest time I couldn’t get over Code Geass’ art style because I thought they all looked like noodles. But then I fell in love with the god known as Lelouch. (And Kallen :P )
OH MY FUCKING GOD FREE JUST STARTED!!!!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD THE OPENING IS AMAZING!!! OKAY, I AM GOING TO POST THIS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW (POSSIBLY) AND I WILL RESPOND TO EVERYTHING ELSE LATER!!!! I AM SO EXCITED I THINK I AM GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!!
OH NO TRUST ME THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE. I'm just so happy, all I seriously want to do right now is hug you until you have trouble breathing. ;-;

The saddest thing is I probably won't even be able to fangirl over the first Free episode with you because I'm going away camping that week... ;-; WHY?!?!? YOU COME BACK AND THEN I HAVE TO LEAVE. WHY, WORLD, WHY?!?!?!
Arghhhh, I'm so happy right now and I can't even put it into words....I'm so glad you're back! ;-;
