My Top 10 Favorite Anime OPs/EDs

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 20:14:43 -0700

Yoo~~! I'ma do a countdown my all-time favorite anime songs! I rated these based on my own personal preference on the actual song (and... maybe a little anime bias, who knows?). I absolutely ADORE every song on this list; it was so hard having to put them in order, but I managed. But... I do kinda consider the top 3 to all be tied for the number one spot because I actually couldn't decide on an all-time favorite! Enjoy~ :)

Number 10

Number 9

Number 8

Number 7

Number 6

Number 5

Number 4

Number 3

Number 2

And my Number 1 Favorite Song is...

There's my top 10! It was so hard to narrow them down, but I feel a bit more organized now that I can say "Oh yeah, I know what my fav OP is..." Hope you enjoyed my list! I wanna hear what your favorite songs are in the comments! :D Do it and I'll give you magical blueberry pancakes that give you the power to turn people into penguins. :D Honorable mentions:

WIHTST Archive ~ August-September 2011

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:14:54 -0700

Summer's come to an end and now I'm beginning my first semester in college. Wowie. How's that gonna work out? Check it out below to see just What I Had to Say~

Catherine has got to be one of the hardest video games I've ever played. Fun though. Workin' on all the endings.
An update for everything Starry Sky! I finished uploading everything on youtube for Spring. (I need a new video subject now...) After Autumn was released recently in Japan, so CG's are slowly drifting towards the surface of the internet. No news for any English patches at the moment. BUT! A kind and dedicated soul on Youtube has begun uploading In Summer with their OWN PERSONAL translation of the game! O_O That's AWESOME. At the moment, I'm staying FAR AWAY from those cause I wanna be able to play it on my own time, with my own decisions (I didn't check to see what kind of a run that person was doing...). BUT BLESS THEIR SOUL~ They are making a wonderful contribution to the Starry Sky fanbase and for that, that person is a god. :) Well done, my friend. Well done.
The only reason I'm exhausted with college already is the fact that I'm stuck here all day doing absolutely nothing without a laptop, no friends, no cozy little dorm to hide in, and not even a butt-load of homework to keep me busy. It's just... walk around all day, sit in awkward classes and not take notes, go find a corner in the library to hide in, rise and repeat.
Arghhh, I'm behind in everything. I just saw that Acid Town had like 2 volumes worth of scanlations uploaded but I'm too lazy to go check them out! >.<
I'm kind of glad I didn't watch Catherine in Japanese... I wouldn't have like Toby very much at all. I'm not a Lowenthal fan, but this was the first time I actually listened to one his roles. He's got a cute voice... he just tends to not do as well as the seiyuus. :P Except this is an exception cause Toby's seiyuu is the guy who played Durer from Enzai. -_- Total opposite. Bad memories. Just a plain ole WTF. Too bad for that seiyuu dude (whose name I forgot)... I can't appreciate any of his other roles without thinkin of Durer. >_<
Anyone bilingual out there? I wanna learn a new language. Persuade me to learn your awesome language. ;)
Goshdarnit, MAL. I typed out a huge paragraph of a story here, but it got "un-saved" cause of a glitch. -.- Gahhhhh don't feel like re-telling it so tl;dr A girl I knew is a real life Disney princess now.
I saw a real life Otani today! He had black hair... but STILL. He looked just like him. :3 So cute~
Just realized... most of the shows I'm watching all star Hiroshi Kamiya. I guess I instinctively went for those 'cause of my Miyaji deficiency. ಠ_ಠ Goshdarnit.
Can anyone name a cool Travis Willingham role that doesn't involve the name Mustang?
LE GASP! So that No. 6 show... it's not listed as a shounen-ai..... but I'm already seeing signs around the webz that it is. =o Oooooh~ I need to cheeeeck this thannngg ouuut~ :D
Trumpets are sexy.
Holy cheese balls! When did that Steins;gate show get a 9.04 score!? :O Is it that good?
Thanks for the spoiler pics, Zerochan! I know what anime I'm watching this weekend. :3 NO.6
Good gawd. Crazy spammers have taken over the MAL blogs. Go check for yourself.
Dannnng, Natsume is on a ROLL! 4th season announced! Wowy jee. It's getting a little too popular now... :/ Ah well. More Kamiya-san, so I'm good. -3-
Saw a real life Risa today o_o Geez, who knew the whole cast of LC goes to school with me?
Ho snap~ Might be going to a con for the first time ever? Maybe... just mayyybbeee.
That man. That imaginary man. He is ruining my life. He does not exist. At least the druggy kid was real. He does not exist. You're never going to meet him, Cath. He does not exist. He's a man made of pixels who originated from the deviantart page of a grad student. He does not exist. You've never even met a real life tsundere anyways. Hell, you've never even met a Scottish person before! He does not exist. Get your frickin head out of the clouds, girl. HE DOES NOT EXIST. <_< >_> o_o Save me.
Lol at the Xinil hack.

Rec of the Month Archive ~ Cencoroll

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:54:42 -0700

Cencoroll~<3 Type: Anime Genre: Action/Sci-fi Length: Movie (25 min) MAL rating: 7.55 My rating: 9 So, I just watched this since I was bored. I was initially interested in the character art and the overall look of the anime. I wasn't expecting anything really big, but I ended up loving this short little movie! It's very simple and I loved that. Everyone in this movie sounded very monotonous and calm, but not robotic; that was awesome imo. There was all this crazy action going around these kids and yet they were behaving like it wasn't anything big. That was frickin' cool. I hate overly hyper girls and obnoxious guys (but that's pretty much every anime for ya). There wasn't a crazy soundtrack or anything, it was very quiet and ambient. I loved the song in the credits, too! This, the characters, and the art are what I've been searching for in an anime for a LONG time. I'm so glad I found this little gem. Oh right, and there was the story, too. haha Sorry. I loved the plot, too! It was unique and it had just the right amount of slice-of-life and sci-fi at the same time! I LOVED that. Now, I understand why this anime got a 7 score; apparently all those things I said I loved about the movie are hated by quite a few watchers. "Y U NOT MOE LOLI? Y U NO BANKAI?1" etc, etc... Ehhh... people who know me well know that I like things nice and simple. Nothing over-the-top. Thats what Cencoroll was: nothing too big. And that's why I loved it. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes what I described above or anyone who needs a nice little 26-minute break from Bleach or whatever the kids are watching today...

What Makes a 10 in my Eyes ~[Brainstorming, incomplete version]

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:45:43 -0700

It aint too much, I'll say that. But, I don't throw them out like crazy either. You see... MAL ratings and I... we have a bit of a, uh, complicated relationship. With most things I rate, I usually end up over-rating them. Pretty much everything I've seen has an 8 or above, so I come across as someone who doesn't take rating things seriously like most critics do. I'm definitely not a critic (I've kind of got a bone to pick with most critics actually). I consider myself someone who picks out the good things from something and then focuses on those only. Hurrah optimism. So yeah, my scores tend to be a couple points higher than they should be (including the whole "enjoyment bias" that I pretty much consider it's own rating system). But I do focus on negatives too and I take those into consideration when I rate. It's just uhh... most of the time I get carried away with just how much I enjoyed something and I end up throwing out 9's and 10's when really the show probably deserved a 7 or something. That's just how I am: I like keeping things high and positive. But, you know... not "OMG NARUTO IS DA BEST. 100000 SCORE WOOO" stuff. Naruto's a 7 in my book. :P But anyways, I made this to analyze what I have listed so far in my anime list as "masterpieces." Some aren't... but they have their reasons. I give out different types of 10's. To be honest, I can't really think of a true masterpiece off the top of my head. Have I even seen one? Hmm... I'll get back to you on that one. Here are some of those "types of 10's" I give out:

Favorites (They probably lacked in some departments, but HEY! I loved it too much to complain!!! <3 Notable examples: Lovely Complex, Soul Eater)
Inner Fangirl (These probably kind of suck actually, but... I just can't help myself~ -insert kyaaa! moment here- Notable example: Junjou Romantica)
Heart-Pounders (If a show manages to actually make me get on the edge of my seat, with my face-to-the-screen, heart pounding, and occasional audible reactions, then wooo that's impressive! Notable example: Higurashi no naku Koro ni Kai)
Actual Masterpieces (These are probably in the Top 40 or completely unrecognized gems. Works of art! Notable examples: Clannad: AS, Mushishi, Aru Tabibito no Nikki)
Moral Boosters (Hmm... if I rate this as a 10, that's one way of recommending it to people... It's an underrated show, but... maybe not 10 worthy. I just made it a 10 so that people could give it a shot! xP Notable Examples: PPGZ, Romeo x Juliet. pssst, it's 9-worthy, but it's pretty 10-worthy, too!)
Pretty Frickin Awesome (aka, everything else. I love all my 10's, you know? There's something awesome about them all! Notable Examples: Kimi ni Todoke, Cardcaptor Sakura)

Most of my 10's end up overlapping into different types, but you get what I mean, right? Just to give an idea about how my mind works when I give out a 10, here are my opinions on the last two 10's I gave out: Soul Eater and Ano Hana.

Soul Eater: From the first episode I watched, I already knew I was going to love the show. I fell in love with the characters, the art, the style, the fights... I was loving everything about it! But... 3 big things kind of got in the way of this "perfect 10 rep" I was hoping for. 1) I think most could agree: the final 20 episodes kind of lacked. Probably because the entire arc was different from the manga's storyline completely, I heard? Dunno how to explain it... but everything felt different from episode 30 on... I honestly don't what it was exactly. 2) Even though I loved this show, for some reason I did NOT get hooked. When I say "hooked", I mean I pretty much just start marathoning it. I'm SO into it. The entire time I watched Soul Eater, I kept wondering why the hell I wasn't hooked to it. Everything about it was fantastic... but it still took me several weeks to finish it all. Dunno why. Maybe it was so amazingly awesome, that I couldn't comprehend it's awesomeness and get hooked to it...? Dunno. 3) Soul Eater would have just been PERFECT if there was just a teeny, tinyyy bit more... romance. Heh. ^^ There were indeed some awesome hints toward couples... but juuuust not enough. It was real close to being a satisfying amount though! Kudos to that! (PLZPLZPLZPLZZZZZZMANGAPLZPLZPLZPLZHAVESOMEROMANCEFOCUSPLZ)
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai: Just finished this beauty! First off, let me say this; when I first saw this anime on MAL, I knew right away: it's another "After Story". :P At some point or another, I was probably going to bawl my eyes out watching this, cause apparently that's what all the 10's for it meant. Sooo, I dunno why, but I started it earlier than I meant to (probably cause of the delicious 11 episode count). I watched the first episode, liked the atmosphere, made some predictions, got annoyed with the main girl, then put it on-hold for a couple weeks. I started it up again today... I don't know if it was episode 2 or 3 but I was definitely HOOKED by episode 4! (who wasn't hooked by that ep's ending!? xD) I somehow managed to keep dry eyes for the whole 11 episodes... but...

This was a beautiful show... I could go on as to why, but it's almost 5 in the morning and I'm all lazied out now. :|

Blogging mood over. ಠ_ಠ Shucks. I still had more stuff to say. Aint feeling it though. I wanna sleep. Hope you got my point? Did you even read all this crap? Thanks if you did. You win a free pet space-penguin and a coupon for a Blizzard at DQ. Share it with the penguin. Ciao.

Aww yeeeaahh~ more countdowns. :3 Here, I'ma list my top 10 favorite lovable losers. Please remember, this is my opinion and all hater comments will be removed. But, do feel free to tell me about your favorite losers! :D And by losers, I'm going by the following guidelines:

Lost a fight and died
Everyone hates them

And hey, you might disagree with those guidelines, but the pop culture community might say otherwise. xP Either way, I love 'em and they're all winners in my book. :3 OH, and I couldn't find enough anime/manga losers, so I had to resort to movie and TV characters, too. Haha, so expect some non-animated losers here as well. :D HUZZAH, here we go~!! Oh, expect spoilers, too.

Number 10

Number 9

Number 8

Number 7

Number 6

Number 5

Number 4

Number 3

Number 2

And the Number 1 Loser is....

If you think I left any amazingly lovable losers out, let me know! I wanna hear~ :)

WIHTST Archive ~ Summer 2011

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:59:22 -0700

OIIII! I uploaded Starry Sky ~ In Spring (visual novel in english) on Youtube! Check it out!
New favorite movie = Megamind. <3
Done with high school! Holy bahjeebus.
Being popular on Youtube kinda sucks. Specially when it comes to being constantly bombarded with illiterate questions that I don't feel like answering for the 20th time.
Playing some awesomely dorky otome games! Dis one and dis one.
I'm only giving Sekaiichi Hatsukoi a 10 if Hiro-san makes a cameo. :trollface:
GRADUATED~ woohoo
I wish MAL had like a quick-edit feature for the anime/manga lists cause someday I'm gonna have to reevaluate how I rate my stuff and that's gonna mean a lot of dumb backtracking. Lawl run-on sentence
Once upon a time~ Otani was my all-time favorite character out of all characters.... well... time for him to step down FOR I HAVE FOUND SOMEONE NEWWW-- well not really new, but NEW TO MEEEEE. <3 Three words, ladies and gentlemen.... The Office. Jim. ... That is all. ... ... :)
Weird dream last night. I was hanging out with this man after school. Couldn't tell who it was. Shadowy dream figure... We were in his living room (it was actually my living room, but whatev) and we were just having a nice time. We were eating these apple pie stick thingies (sorta like the ones at McDonalds except NOT disgusting). The man said that I should bring him some apricot flavored ones over the summer and I agreed. The pies made us really sleepy all of a sudden, so I sat down on the couch and he sat real close to me. *cue doki moment* I was dead tired so I laid my head on his shoulder and nestled around his arm. This moment... was what I remember the most. It felt so real. I felt my face against his shirt sleeve and his arm was wide and very muscular (in reality, I was just snuggling with my blanket). It was very relaxing.... But after a while, the doorbell rang and I saw that it was my dad at the door to pick me up. The man wistfully got up and went to answer the door. End of dream. Soooo.... I think this dream was supposed to be like a fatherly dream, ya know? Tomorrow's father's day and that dream fit the mood extremely well.... BUTTTT, me being the hopelessly hopeless romantic that I am, took the dream by the heart strings and turned it into a romantic shoujo moment. Nothing wrong with that, but you know... the previous preceding would have fit more (its kinda like... my dad showed up at the door at the end and was like "HEY!! THATS MY DAUGHTER! GTFO.") I liked the dream, nonetheless. I got an idea of who the mystery man was, too. I'll just say this... I have a HUGE urge to catch up on reading Dengeki Daisy now. ;]
I think Otani and Jim need to have a face-off. ಠ_ಠ *considering re-watching LoveCom...*
Found another pretty cool otome game called Magical Diary: Horse Hall. I ended up buying the whole game (25 bucks lol. Gotta spend that grad money on somethin :B). It's pretty good though! Wish there were more guys to go after though. lol Think theres only two, I think... most likely a third but I don't know how to activate all the crap with him. :/ And I thinkkkk you can go lesbo in the game, too. Haven't tried it yet (don't really want to... but whatev, gives me more to do I guess. This game has a decent trophy feature that motivates me a little more :P CHEEEEVOOOOs). Anyway, I love Donald in the game; he's cool. Dat other dude... xP my gawd... his story is just.... LOL. Aint spoiling that crud. Heard this game might get a sequel; ME WANT. BUY THIS GAME, PEEPS. Yes, it's overpriced... but it'll be a mistake worth making! :3 mwuhahahahahehehehhohohoho edit: OOOOH, I found out how to get with "Snape" xD His story was pretty awesome, surprisingly. But UGHHHHH I still haven't a CLUE how to get with either of the roommates o_e lol I think they want me to find some crazy and stupid plothole to slip my way into in order to even start the whole relationship possibility. I'm gonna have to try again. -_-
While on the subject of visual novels, Togainu no Chi has a partial version for the english patch up, full patch coming soon this year. I have NO idea what the plotline in this game is except that there is gore, yaoi rape, and some good seiyuus. I got too curious for my own good and downloaded a (very good) torrent with all the CGs in it. Didn't know you could choose your guy :3 hehe~ I might go ahead and try this one out when a full patch comes out.
Re-reading/catching up on Dengeki Daisy.... AGAIN (4th time now? -.-). Aw well, it's awesome. <3 A little too awesome though so I can't really immerse myself into the manga like I sorta do with a lot of others. Anyways, I need to catch up! I keep running into spoiler pics and end up closing my browsers (most of the time filled with a dozen important tabs; thanks for the warning, Chrome. -_-). Hope there's a nice stack of translated chapters for me to read once I get there. :]
Coming up next on Youtube: Yoh's scenes and some tips, tricks, & walkthroughs for Magical Diary.
Holy fudge nuggets! I'm watching Soul Eater. And... it is awesome. :3
Sooo... I'm trying to watch Fullmetal Alchemist (not Brotherhood). Thing is, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find any good torrents for it. After searching through a million Brotherhood torrents, all the original FMA torrents are either gone (due to a big crackdown on copyrights and crap) or have no seeds. At all. -__- UGHASDFGHJKL I'M NEVA GONNA BE ABLE TO WATCH THIS CRAPPPPPP. FMA is still easy to find on streaming sites, but the quality.... >_< the qualllllliiiiiiiittttttyyyyyyy ;_; I actually was able to download a dual-audio torrent sucessfully.... turns out there weren't any subtitles. I DUN WANNA WATCH THE DUB. GRRRRASDFGHJKL ╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
I am unsucessfully downloading a FMA torrent with no seeders. (hey, maybe if I hope hard enough, a magical batch of seeders will show up and it'll download! TEEHEEE~ not) BUT! I found FMA on Hulu and that's actually decent quality. I don't really like the layout, but it works. Wish I had a nice fansub though. Curse you Brotherhood >_> I will discover your magical awesomeness eventually.
For those keeping track, Otani won the duel. (Oh gawd, flashback of the snowball-fight episode. XD)
Hulu, you have gained my respect. Thank you for being cool.
I'm trying to play some new visual novels... Too bad there aren't many good ones translated. I got a few I'm willing to try... but I bet you I'll regret it. I got my eye on this one called Enzai (there's an OVA for it on here... heard it was bad). I've never played a Ero visual novel before, so that's gonna be awkward. -_- I'm really looking forward to the full patch for Togainu no Chi coming soon though. This'll keep my yaoi appetite satisfied for now...??? ....maybe. UGHPROBABLYNOT. ALLTHISSTUPIDGAMEISISRAPPPPPPEEEEEEE >____< GAWD I HATE ERO VNS.
So... Enzai. That's some f-ed up stuff. I feel stronger after playing it though (my first time actually dealing with shotacon torture pron stuff >_<). :/ It's a cool game though. Typical that the guy I like best in the game is named Evan. -_______- (of all the names....)
I hate long-running series'. I HATE them. I.e. Naruto, Bleach, Conan, etc. They'd be a lot awesomer if they just capped them at SOME point. Right now my focus is on the Skip Beat manga. They should have just kept it around 120 chapters and found some awesome way of ending it but nooooo~ it's like at chapter... what is it now? like 170? NOTHING'S HAPPENED YET. UGHHHHHHHHH I would have given it a 9 or something if it actually had stuff going on (at one point, there WAS progress in the romance storyline, but not so much anymore) but now it's just UGH. I cant even bother with it anymore.
OH MY GOD!!! So I finished Enzai, ya know? Like I'm completely done with it. I got all the CGs and endings, got the secret character, all that stuff... Well, today I went to look up the seiyuus for everyone and I couldn't believe what I saw... FRICKIN JUN FUKUYAMA DID THE VOICE FOR THE SECRET CHARACTER AND I DIDN'T KNOW!?!?!?! AHHHH WTFFFF O_O I mean, yeah, he ended up becoming my fav character and I loved his voice but I didn't even CONSIDER the idea that it was Jun. DX omgomgomomgomg I thought big-name guys like him didn't do that kind of stuff >_> holy cow.... I should have realized it was him... There was one single part in the story where his usually calm-sweet self ended up blowing up and yelled at this one jerk. I remember being actually shocked by the sudden voice change... so I was like ".... =O ....wait a minute............ eh..... that was weird." WELL, I should have realized that that one, little outburst.... WAS JUN'S TYPICAL ANGRY YELLING VOICE!! (which I'm more accustomed to than his kawaii uke voice) Goshdarnit all.... now I think I'm gonna have to replay his whole route. -_- But, boy oh boy, now THAT is a secret character worth fighting for. :P hahaha
Kimi ni Todoke + Bokura ga Ita + Doukyuusei + Sora wo Daite Oyasumi = Mars.
Starry Sky still doesn't have subs out for the last 4 eps. I've been extremely patient (pfft, I've been waiting for the goood stuff ;P like the novels) and I know StrawberryMint's having some staff issues... but this is just frustrating as fudge. o_o Come ONNNN~ >_< Which reminds me.... I still need to finish uploading my Starry Sky vids on youtube. >_> hehe whoops.
I wanna play Catherine, but I don't wanna spend 60 bucks on it. :[ Hmmm....
Finally finished Starry Sky. x_x My gawd, SMS subs you have failed me. So much for "making the world a better place" , instead you just made a bunch of SS fangirls upset. >:[ Luckily, there's a very unknown sub group called BAB who did the subs for WHO KNOWS how long ago. So I watched them instead! :D YAYY!! I also gave them their first thumps up here on MAL and left a comment. :D SHU-WEEEET
I was bored and ended up thinkin "Hey... I wonder which Starry Sky character has the most favs?" so I went and looked it up. Tsubasa won. >_> He has almost double the amount of what the second most faved had. xD Suzuya got 2nd. And I forgot who third was.... everyone started having around the same number then. BUT WTF, NAOSHI HAS THE LEAST OUT OF THE 12 DUDES!?! O_O GAHHHH I LOVE NAOSHIIIIII. y'all are stupid.
I got a weird thing for redheads. In my opinion, like 75% of male redheads are pretty frickin cute (95% in anime world) and the other 25% are frickin creepy lookin. >_> Hrmmm....
I don't have any details, but I think Bokurani Matsuwaru Etc is being translated and coming to the US! :DDDD That's AMAZING~!!! US knows where the good BL mangas at. :) Now if only Doukyuusei could be brought over...
OMG. I didn't mean to but I fangirl-screamed at the Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 2nd season news. xD That's pretty frickin sweet! Hybrid Child's gonna be animated too! I haven't read it yet (Im totally gonna do that now tho) but WOOHOO! The only thing that would make this better is if Junjou got another season. :P
GOOD GAWD. Hybrid Child is gonna be SAD. ToT GAHHHH ITS FUYU NO SEMI ALL OVER AGAIN!!!! ;_______; That was the first Nakamura manga that wasn't filled with sex either... Kinda weird actually. BUT STILL SAD. D: GAHHH~ First thing I'm doing once this anime comes out: recommending Fuyu no Semi. That is chapters 3 & 4 of HC... but with sex and more in-your-FRICKIN-face tragedy stuff. o_o good gosh get your tissues ready.
The people on MAL are so frickin ignorant. I hate it. Especially all the morons that have to post on EVERY news article. "Oh look! Something that I don't care about. I need to post my indifference and dislike on the front page." Shut up. I hate it so much. NOW, to get on what I MEANT to say... Why the hell is everyone flaming on the Hybrid Child news? 90% of the posters haven't even READ IT. And hey, I'll admit, when I first saw the manga, I thought "Okay. It's yaoi Chobits. Probably lots of sex and crap. Typical..." ANDDD, I went and read it, and I was WRONG. Not a drop of sex, folks. It had STORY. I was actually a little disappointed in the end cause I jumped in, ready for the smut, but I got heartwarming stories of tragedy. Took me a while for me to actually appreciate it. I was up for a yaoi-readin night, but I got turned off with the depressing ending. Now I can't do anything happy for the rest of the night. Haha.... To sum it up: People need to shut up and Hybrid Child is more than fan service. Y'all are in for a surprise, morons.
So... I found the man of my dreams. He's a video game character. -___- Goshdarnit. Kill me now. Y'all should go play Lucky Rabbit Reflex. It's a pretty awesome otome game. Just.... stay away from my Shuppin. ಠ_ಠ <3
Goshdarnit. If I decided to make a shrine on my profile of my favorite male anime character, I would oddly not feel ashamed. Not the same feeling if I made a shrine for a character from a dating sim game that nobody knows about. -_- This pixelated man is slowly ruining my sanity. ;_; Go take your guitar/violin-playin' , supposedly hot Scottish accent, tsundere butt back to Glasgow and gtfo before I start makin that shrine or worse.... ಠ_ಠ
You know, I think there are only four reasons I would ever consider giving Haruhi Suzumiya a third chance: I could imagine that the 2 main guys are just Kanata and Suzuya hangin out, believe that Haruhi dies at the end (she apparently disappears in the movie? OH BOY.), possibly discover a clue as to why so many people like that rubbish, and hopefully be able to make it out saying "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger." But good gawd, the day that pigs fly and I find a boyfriend, THAT'LL be the day when I even remotely think about watching that garbage again. :B
LMAO sooo one of my recommendations got taken down cause I pretty much spoiled a huge plotline from both. XD Whooops~ I uploaded a new one without spoiling anything this time.
I keep forgetting about character songs! :O Those are so fun! I just found the Soul Eater ones and had a bunch of fun listening to those. :D Let me know about any other cool animes that have character songs!
You know, if I could just somehow control my writing style to be more organized and focused, I'd probably start writing reviews on here. I like reviewing series in a sentence or two, but that won't get me known on here (I aint one for being dubbed a troll either). Putting my feelings into words is one of my biggest faults. It may not seem like it now as you're reading my profile, but I really am bad with words. :/ Hmmm~ maybe college will help? ..... oh gawd. -.-" Whatever you do, Cath... don't think about writing essays... DON'T DO IT.
AWW YEAHHH I added Shibutaku to the MAL database :B Finally he can get some lovin~ (lmao somehow he got added as a MAIN character though!! xD What the heck. I fixed it)

Rec of the Month Archive ~ Starry Sky

Fri, 13 May 2011 20:43:24 -0700

Starry☆Sky~<3 Type: Anime (org: Visual Novel) Genre: Reverse-Harem, School, Shoujo Length: 26 episodes (11 min each) MAL rating: 6.51 My rating: 7 My latest obsession, right here. :P The anime of Starry Sky is adapted from the visual novels of the same name. They are otome games (reverse-harem dating sims). There are 4 main games (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter) where you play as Tsukiko, the only girl at a previously all-guys school for astronomy. There are 12 main guys (+ the new Ophiuchus guy), each one representing a zodiac (ex: Cancer, Leo, etc.) and there are 3 dudes each to a game. Sounds dorky, right? I love it! :D Hehe. It's a fantastic series, in my opinion. It's got the perfect amount of fluff, beautiful character design, and a god-like seiyuu cast. The anime? Ehh... not as awesome. But, I still really like it since it's Starry Sky. The art was kinda butchered in the long run and the episodes are a bit boring. Every guy gets his own two 11-minute long episodes. The first one is usually just about the guy's past and bio and then the second gives a taste of what his relationship with Tsukiko is like. Also, a lot of the stuff in the show is content that isn't even mentioned in some of the games! So, that's kinda cool for the VN fans. It should be noted that romance in this show is to a minimum. Like, there isn't any at all. NONE. If ya want that, you gotta go play the visual novels. ;) Currently, only the first one has been translated in english (Spring). Be warned though! If you're interested in downloading the games and the patches, you gotta be a little tech savvy. It gets tricky if you don't know what you're doing. Google yourself some help or ask me! I'll try my best to help ya out. (edit: orrr... watch the how-to vid I uploaded. :3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVR8ilPie6I) Anyways, Starry Sky is awesome! If your first experience with the series was the anime, please don't let that give you a bad impression of the franchise. The anime does kind of suck (just ask the MALers. A 6 score; yikes!).

Archive of memorable comments I left in the "What I Have to Say Today" section on my profile. You guys don't care, but I do. :B Woohoo. April (Random Dates) ~ Yaoi, Laziness, Starry Sky (againn), and Sucky Dubs

Shungiku Nakamura is a pro at making updating MAL chapters difficult.
Re-read Doushitemo Furetakunai. I fell in love with it all over again. :] But, now I feel bad cause I kicked out Doukyuusei from the favs. Aw well. Kusakabe will always have a spot in my character favs, so all is good. :P
Just realized! "Sawakaze", the OP for Kimi ni Todoke 2, is Sawako and Kazahaya's names put together. :O LIEK OMGGGGG!!!1!!111! But really, I just realized that.
Ordered No Touching at All. :3 I heard the translation sucks, but I still think it'll be awesome. <3 Weird how my mom never even questioned the suggestive cover when she helped me order it...
Being lazy updating the Song of the Week and the new Month Rec. :/ Ughhh... same with comments. ;_;
Just saw the new Starry Sky After Summer CGs on Zerochan. o_o Oh.my.gosh. So.... >3< AMAZING! Those Miyagi ones are just SQUEE-worthy!!! UGHHHH. Whycan'tIhaveasuperamazingboyfriendlikehim? >____<
AHHHHHH I FOUND MORE SS CGS!!! X3 This time I saw the ones from After Spring. OMG ITS AMAZINGASDFGHJKL. Yo Honeybee! Throw me over one of those guys!! You got WAY more than 13 now (the bakatrio and those random yakuza guys)!!! HOW BOUT SHARING!? HUH, TSUKIKO!?!
PPGZ is getting/gotten an english dub. :] That makes me happy. I need to find out if it's out yet...
HEY! I'm uploading Starry Sky ~ In Spring on Youtube! Check it out!
Uhh... scratch what I said about the PPGZ dub... ಠ_ಠ IT SUCKS BAD. SOOO BAD. OMG. America, what have you doneeee!?!?! T_T Now everyone's gonna hate it. Jap version: I love you~ ;_;

Here's an archive of some of the previous comments I left in my "What I Have to Say Today" section. Notable rants, and such... You guys probably don't care, but I do. January 12-15 ~ Kimi ni Todoke rants

Early February-ish

I wouldn't be suprised if eventually my entire Fav Character list is full of unknown guys from overlooked manga. Like really. Underated manga peeps are just as cool as Lelouch and Ichigo and all those crazies, except maybe even better. :3 Those guys have enough love, but some of my favs don't. Like poor little Kusakabe! D: Apparently, I'm the only one who faved him so far. And his profile's a bit empty. Doukyuusei is unknown as it is. But this guy's funny and has godly hair. He needs LOVE. ಠ_ಠ So, I'm planning to do what I did for poor ole Akahoshi-kun and upload some pics or something... HE SHALL NOT BE FORGOTTEN~!

February 4-8 ~ Starry Sky and otome game rants

February 9th ~ Doukyuusei quickie rant

Why the heck does Doukyuusei focus so frickin' much on Hara-sen? Like really. He's not interesting at all. He's annoying and takes up space away from the KuSajou goodness. The guy has his own SPIN-OFF manga for crying out loud. Ugh, stop falling for megane guys that are 20 years older/younger than you and just shut upppp.

February 11-12 ~ Initial reaction to PLAYING Stary Sky ~ in Spring VN

It's... it's a miracle. I'm actually playing Starry Sky right now. O_O I GOT IT TO WORK. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKK IT'S AMAZINGGG!!! :D My life is now complete! Who needs Valentines day and that druggy kid? I GOT THE BEST GAME IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. WOOOOOOOOOOO~ *geekfest*
So! I'm having the best Valentine's weekend ever! ^_^ Who needs real guys when you got virtual ones? :P Awwwww yeah~ <3 I am seriously craving that Summer game now, though.... Who know if that'll ever translated though. :/

In case you were wondering: yes, I have no life. ಠ_ಠ February 15ish & 20 ~ More Starry Sky rants

February 20-24 ~ Natsume, Black Butler, and BL manga

3rd season of Natsume Yuujinchou confirmed. Wasn't even expecting it! But now I got something to look forward to this year. :] I'm also pretty happy since the news topic is pretty full of happy people and not many trollers, like usual. ^^ Natsume's gotta a greater rep than I thought. Kinda annoying though how some people were complaining about other random shows that deserve new seasons. Ummm... you'll probably get one; it just takes a while because the creators are actually putting in TIME AND EFFORT to make it awesome. Gotta wait for the good stuff, morons. Especially in the otaku world: patience is a FRICKIN virtue. ಠ_ಠ
The Kuroshitsuji english dub is pretty legit actually. I'm surprised. I'm having fun watchin it again. :) I can't WAIT for Grell to go all flamboyent on us. Shame it won't be like Jun-y's AMAZING perfomance, but it'll still be pretty ill.
lololololol I said "ill" ^ . LAWL I'M SO COOL.
Dude! I had no idea that Doushitemo Furetakunai was published in english in the States! =O That's awesome!! I'm gonna try and get it... hopefully. Even though I'm almost 18, I've never really tried buying BL manga with my mom around. :/ Seven Days was extremely easy to get past the radar, but DF... The cover gives it away, it's most definately likely to have the little warning tag, and it's probably plastic-wrapped, too. >_> Hmmm.... it's like asking my mom to buy me some gay pronz.... which it pretty much is. :| But with story. Story covers up for that fact. Totallllllly.

March (random dates) ~ Seven Days, LC, and GOSHDARN EARTHQUAKES

I found this really amazing user on Youtube! Their videos are awesome! He/she specializes in making anime mix AMVs and they are just absolutely stunning. <3 Amazing choice in series and scenes. Like... they're beyond perfect. Here's one to show you. Check out their other vids!! Even the BETAs are fantastic. Just... expect spoilers. Lots of amazing spoilers.... :3
Yay! Good news! June manga has set a release date for the second volume of Seven Days!! :D Yay! I'm super excited~! It's set for August 24th (day before my bday :3), but.... with what happened last year... ಠ_ಠ I dunno if I can trust those dates. Hopefully they won't put the wrong date and then not gimme my pre-order until 4 months later.
Found out something cool today. I was browsing around on Zerochan today and found this really rare Lovely Complex pic. It's a picture found on the cover of one of the DVDs of the show. So it's like official and stuff. I went and did a little more research and found the actual DVDs and whatdoyaknow, the front and back covers of the 3 DVD boxs have some exclusive pics which are pretty cool in my opinion. So, I wanna get my hands on them. I track most of the already uploaded LC pics, so I doubt anymore are lying around. Let me know if you can find them. Here, I'll share the one I found.
I wanna hurry up and add Miyaji (Starry Sky) to my favs. -_- I know nothing about the guy, but I already know I'm gonna love him. Move over Kanata, you're spot's about to be taken~ (...well once In Summer gets patched or I wait another month for Miyagi's cruddy episodes to be aired -.-)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 4 has been ultimately canceled! T___T Stupid earth with its stupid plates and its stupid earthquakes that go around making stupid disasters in Japan. Thanks a lot. -_- Killing thousands of innocent lives just aint good enough for ya, huh? You gotta mess with the Disaster Report fans, too? But seriously. How F-ed up is that? The game (all about surviving an earthquake in Japan) was supossed to be released on March 10, but it got pushed back like a week... and the planet's just like "LAWL WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF I KILL SOME PEOPLE WITH AN EARTHQUAKE RIGHT BEFORE THE DISASTER GAME COMES OUT? LOLOLOLOL." Flippin' troll. That's just sick. Prayers for Japan.

To be updated with more as time goes by. In the mean time, go check what I have to say TODAY on my profile. ;)

Crazy For You ~ Rants & Review

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 19:26:30 -0800

*~Crazy For You~* Type: Manga Author: Karuho Shiina Genre: Shoujo, Romance, Drama MAL score: 7.64 My Score: 7 *~Click here for more~*

Woo, let's see how this review thingy works out. Don't expect anything professional. :B Spoiler tags contain spoilers from the manga and probably a couple rants. You've been warned. Crazy For You is about a girl, Sachi, who's in high school and never had a boyfriend. She's always been happy before, so she never thought she needed one, but then she thought "Hey! If getting a boyfriend will make me more happy, then it'll just double the fun! TEEHEE." So she's goes to a goukun and meets this guy Yuki. And he seems like the sweetest guy in the world, being nice and calling her cute... Sachi tells her best friend Akemi, but is suddenly told by her to forget about Yuki cause he'll make her cry. DUN DUN DUNNNNNN. But, it's too late now cause Sachi quickly falls head-over-heels-down-a-flight-of-stairs-in-love with the guy anyways. He ends up revealing to her that's he's really a playboy and he was just lying to her about all the fluff he said to her. Heartbreak? Nope. Sachi says he can go ahead and decieve her anyyy time he wants cause she loves him. And.... from then on we are introduced to the awesome Akahoshi (who eventually turns the whole deal into a love triangle), a crazy twist with Akemi, and Sachi being a moron throughout the entire story. Drama drama drama, sob sob sob, blah blah blahhhhh. So, my overall spoiler-free feelings on this manga? I liked it... sorta. Just a bit... I think. It had amazing potential to be something beautiful, but the story just... went a bit outta whack. So I got mad. And the story lost it's fun. BUT HEY. That's only cause I fancied some characters and I despised others. If you like the characters I hate, then you'll LOVE this manga! :P Other fun tidbits: The art is really beautiful, in my opinion. The female leads were really pretty and the guys are cute. It made all the rage I felt while reading this just a little bit more bearable. :) Also, this manga comes to us from Karuho Shiina, the creator of Kimi ni Todoke. I thought that was pretty cool since I like the series. I'm trying to locate some other works by Shiina now. Characters!

Sachi is the lead girl here. She's really happy and never ever gets mad. And she's optimistic to the point of idiocity. Like... no kidding.
Yuki is the guy that Sachi likes. His overall first impression is super-nice guy who'd never do a thing to hurt you. Turns out, he just puts on that mask so that he can get all the ladies. :B When I say all, I mean allllll. In reality, he's just a lonely guy who wants all the company he can get.
Akemi is Sachi's best friend. Her boyfriend is Yuuhei, who's friends with Yuki. She's the mature one here with the pretty hair.
Akahoshi~ :D He made this manga for me. He's Yuki's friend and he ends up falling for Sachi. He's the guy who'd always be there for Sachi when Yuki was being a jerk, cause he's cool like that. He's not exactly as nice as most guys, but he's a cute, little softy under his cool exterior. Anyone seen Junjou Romantica? Straight version of Hiroki. :P They're they same pretty much. Except Akahoshi's got a bit more boldness, humor, and forwardness. But, he's just your everyday average Tsundere guy. :3
Annnnnnd we got Yuuhei. The lovable, devoted boyfriend of Akemi....

So yeah. Crazy For You is a pretty interesting manga. I should have liked it, but the story just.... UGHASDFHJKL. >.< But, I'd still recommend it. It's just got soooo much drama. Dx Oh my gawshhh. I wanted to kick a puppy while I was reading this.

Bonus little rants: (these are copied and pasted directly from my "What I Have to Say Today" section on my profile. I made these while I was still in the middle of reading, so you can get a little preview of what kind of emotions you might experience while reading xD)

And yes, it's true. I added 4 new pics to Akahoshi's page. :3 HE DESERVES LOVE. Hope you enjoyed this. :) Technically, this is my first ever review! Don't think I'll actually post it though since it's so crude. :P Ah well. Comment and I'll give you a cookie. Thank you~ <3
