Ultimate Fanfic Trope Showdown from ellimists. (Thanks [personal profile] suzume!)

Now for some recent anime I caught up with.

Black Clover, Run with the Wind, The Morose Mononokean, My Roommate is a Cat )

Also! SEASONAL SOREN ALT. VALENTINE SOREN ALT. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I never thought this would happen? I mean, I thought that Ike might be the person on the right in this teaser silhouette, or maybe it'd be his father Greil. But even though it wasn't Ike on the right, it was still Ike on the banner. With Soren!!! Seasonal Tellius banner with Soren, ahhhhhh. I had a bunch of orbs saved up to pull for more Legendary Ike merges from January's Legendary/Mythic banner, but I ended up spending them all on the Radiant Dawn Laguz banner, since I really wanted Reyson (who I never got from that banner, but did get later on as a 4* that I promoted right away). I figured I'd only go all in with my orbs with characters that I really liked, and Reyson was one of them. Even though there was a high chance he would be demoted, I still wanted a copy just in case. Anyway, now that he has been demoted to 4*, he's definitely a +10 project.

I also figured that there was very little chance that someone I liked would be on the next seasonal, as IS seems to keep releasing Fate seasonals, who I could do without, and I hoped that we'd get plenty of orbs for the anniversary, which we kind of didn't. So now here we are, with the seasonal I want most of all from this game, and I have no orbs left. OTL I'm sorry, I have failed you Soren. Hoping that orbs from the Tempest Trials will be enough to pull either Soren, or Ike, or both... I'll have to give up on Greil and Mist. ;__; I really wanted to collect all the Tellius seasonals (so far, I've succeeded with having 1 copy each of bridal Sanaki, Halloween Mia, Festival Elincia, and Festival Micaiah). But with a whole banner of Tellius seasonals and no orbs, this is an unlikely feat, haha. So far, my pulls have given me an Adrift Camilla (why, Camilla, you're on plenty of seasonals already. You don't need to show up here!) and a Ninian, who has been merged into my previous Ninian to remove her -atk bane. But eh, her attack is still low even with the merge, so pretty pointless.

This is when I wish Soren were a Tempest Trial unit so I could +10 him with grails, but I feel like ever since the grail system started, they're only putting units they think will be the most enticing as the Tempest Trial rewards, for more incentive to play Aether Raids, I bet. So I doubt we'll be seeing very many guys as the rewards now. Who am I supposed to spend the grails on now?? Eh, for now, I'm probably going with Naesala unless someone else I like better comes along.

I'm also still in disbelief that Soren and Ike showed up together on a Valentine seasonal banner, of all banners. XDDDD

I'll probably cosplay this outfit of Soren's too. :3
Looks like this will be my final post of 2018! I was hoping to finish up a fic to post before 2018 ended, but the story kind of exploded on me, so it's going to take me longer to finish. I might have to separate it into a few parts to post once I'm done. It's yet another addition to the New Horizons collection, this time an AU of Grisia reuniting with Roland before v1 events. :3 I've finished a good chunk of the fic (including the ending) but not the climax, ahahah.


I commissioned a Soren plushie from Kitty Cay (so talented)! I asked for the Radiant Dawn version, along with a tome. :3 He was made in the style of Fire Emblem Hero sprites, haha. So adorable. You can even pose him~. He's also very soft. I really hope that Soren will get some sort of alt in FEH. Radiant Dawn version please! I like his RD outfit a lot more than his Path of Radiance one that features sandals and too many layers. I'd love an RD alt, or a seasonal alt... Dagger throwing Soren please. Or a dragon Soren.

I also finally unlocked his spirit in Smash Brothers!

It's just too bad that he's only a novice spirit. I'm still going to use him anyway. The main spirits I'm using right now are Lilina, Ashnard, and Soren. :3


Also randomly checked out this series called Voice of Fox on Crunchyroll. It's adapted from a Chinese webcomic, and the content and style of humor really makes it evident. I feel that several webcomics have a similar style of humor that can sometimes be too over the top. :') Still, it's a fun series. Not very high quality, but the singing is nice (if only Hu Li had more than one song. At least he sings a new song in the last episode, haha). Man, this show reminds me of all the idol series in the past that I liked, like Full Moon wo Sagashite, Shoujo Shounen, and Charisma Doll. All of them feature the main character having to keep something a secret. :'D (Oh dear, reminds me of that Shaman King idol fic I started but never finished.) Anyway, I've always liked idol shows, so this was definitely a fun guilty pleasure despite the poor quality. It's full of drama. Like, seriously full of drama. It's like watching a trainwreck sometimes. I went to read the webcomic after this, and it's actually pretty different. I feel the anime dialed up the drama, hahaha, but both are dramatic, and Hu Li has pretty bad luck all the time. The anime has a more centralized plot though.

My next posts will be my Yuletide fics~.
Happy holidays everyone!

Yuletide fics are live~. I managed to finish the treat I was working on super last minute (it doubled in length) and posted it right around when the fics were about to go live. I realized I didn't even have a title so came up with one just as I was about to post. The result was a title that's very similar to another fic of mine, whoops, when these stories aren't even from the same fandom. Interesting what my mind defaults to.

I stayed up to read my gift but haven't gotten about to reading any other fics yet. I received a lovely story about Azazel and Mugaro~

The other day, I wrote up some rambling thoughts about some anime I'm currently watching, but like everything I do lately, I just let that sit around... Now I have to update it given the new episodes that have already happened since, pft.

Thunderbolt Fantasy, Slime anime, Bunny-sempai, Ace Attorney s3, SAO, Tsurune, Honda-san )
Got myself a [community profile] genprompt_bingo card. :3 Will probably write oneshots for some miscellaneous series. My goal, like always for these bingo cards, is to at least complete one square, if not a bingo. XD;

ReLIFE might be one of them. o/ I've just finished marathoning the anime. It pretty much felt like a digest version of the manga, but for the amount of episodes the anime had to work with, it definitely got the essence of the series across. (Also, Ooga is even cuter in the anime~, though I felt Hishiro didn't get enough character development in the anime) I've enjoyed following the manga and was wondering how it would end without feeling like a cop-out. The ending was pretty good~.

bingo card )
So, I went to Anime Expo and am back already, with a Yosemite trip thrown in right after~. Now I feel like my summer is truly starting. XD But, it looks like pictures from Photobucket got broken while I was away. They've changed their service to make linking on third-party sites prohibited unless you upgrade. I thought, maybe I will upgrade my account if it doesn't cost too much.

...Turns out, it costs $300 per year to make third-party linking available. OTL

So yeah. I've uploaded my photos somewhere else, but only the 2016-2017 photos when I started using photobucket again. For a good period before that, I was using Picasa, and then before before that, it was photobucket, but I don't think I'll be reuploading all those photos. I hope Dreamwidth's own image service will be upgraded in the future for better utility and storage. It'd sure make things easier!

Some Spring 2017 anime I finished watching:

Shingeki no Kyojin season 2, Natsume Yuujinchou Roku, Yowamushi Pedal New Generation, Kenka Banchou Otome Girl Beats Boys, Starmyu 2nd season, Kado The Right Answer )

Man, I have a backlog of conventions to post about. I've fallen out of the habit of timely blogging, pfft. Anyway, hoping I'll get around to posting about these cons. I'm very much hoping it'll happen.

♥ Anime Expo 2016 (a retrospective by now XDD)
♥ Anime Revolution 2016 (also a retrospective by now haha)
Fanime 2017 (the events and some more cosplay pics)
♥ Anime Expo 2017

I might attend a day or two of Crunchyroll Expo next month. Hope they announce more guests~~. Also, Dominion's End v5 was released! I've ordered my copy, but I won't get it until August.

Days

Finished marathoning Days~. The beginning was a bit tiring, but the ending was quite intense. :D I started liking Kimishita near the middle of the series, and goodness was he amazing in the last few episodes. XD I quite liked a lot of the characters and just how friendly the team is with each other. Mizuki is such a funny captain and so out of it (a pure soccer idiot), Usui is scarily calm and reliable, Kimishita is just so angry yet diligent, and Kazama is a true friend. Kazama and Tsukushi, seriously. The girls were great too. Tsukushi's mom is the best. Sayuri too, though she didn't show up much. Ubukata was a great addition as well. She's tough. The rivals weren't very memorable though. And the team uniforms are all quite plain, haha.

The first years have made quite a lot of growth. I like that there's quite a batch of first years. Looking forward to what kind of team they'll make, Kurusu especially~ (they're all so inspired by Tsukushi hahaha). Will miss Mizuki though.

Winter Anime

Currently following Yowamushi Pedal New Generation and Masamune-kun no Revenge. Yowamushi has been great! Especially with how much of the spotlight Teshima is getting at the moment. :DDDDDDDDD /swoons

Masamune-kun no Revenge has been pretty silly and seems like it'll be a pretty amusing romcom. Not sure what else to watch. Might end up marathoning some more series I haven't kept up with if there's nothing else of interest.

Fall anime 2

Jan. 5th, 2017 09:31 pm
lucathia: (fishbones: flower background 2)
Finished watching a few more Fall 2016 series.

Gi(a)rlish Number
This was a more cynical take on seiyuu and anime than Sore ga Seiyuu and Shirabako, as expected of a series penned by the author of Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. But not too cynical. I liked Chitose's growth and just how unrepentant she usually is. I was very curious about her brother, and it seems that the light novel is actually about what happens before the anime? Maybe the light novel tells more about Gojou.

Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari (Poco's Udon World)
This was sweet. Souta and Poco are such a great family together, and Poco helped Souta remember all the good things about Kagawa and all the good times he had with his family. I learned a bit about the Kagawa prefecture, which I didn't know much about before this. :3 There actually wasn't much udon in the show, but I suppose that's what the prefecture is known for. I wonder if these series about single men in their 20s/30s finding a kid and raising the kid is becoming a trend. The anime gives the series a solid ending, though the manga is still ongoing. I'm curious how the manga goes.

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda (Kiss Him, Not Me)
I'd been following the manga, and it's hilarious. Kae is a true fujoshi. :') The part were they go to Comiket is so true to life. The anime was pretty funny too, though I don't like the voice used for Kae when she's fat. I don't feel her voice should have changed much. I didn't really root for any of the boys while reading the manga, but Mutsumi-senpai is a total standout in the anime. (He has the best responses too) The anime also deliberately rearranged some of the stories to put Mutsumi's last as an ending to the anime. Interesting place chosen for an ending! (I suppose the scene that follows his story is a good ending place for all of them) Interestingly enough, some of the other characters' stories got cut or simplified, such as Igarashi and Nanashima's past together in the soccer club (probably because it had little to do with the romance with Kae), all the other characters' jobs at the amusement park, and Shinomiya's stalker. But well, after the anime, I am totally rooting for Mutsumi-senpai. (Haha, I found it funny that Kae even listed Miyuki as one of her anime loves. She must be referring to Diamond no Ace.)

Still have Sangatsu no Lion and Fune wo Amu on my to watch list from Fall 2016. As for the upcoming winter season, I'm only interested in Yowamushi Pedal New Generation so far.

Fall anime

Dec. 26th, 2016 02:15 am
lucathia: (fishbones: flower background 2)
Fall anime I recently finished watching (or am almost done watching). Haha, 5 out of 7 of these series have exclamation points in the title.

Natsume Yuujinchou Go
I love that more Natsume is getting adapted, despite the gap between season 4 and this new season. It makes me hopeful that there will keep being more Natsume anime. Also, it's just really touching seeing how far Natsume has come since season 1. My favorite episode was the one with Touko. The Fujiwaras are just great~. Getting to see Natori's past was also a pleasant surprise. Sometimes though, the episodes with the ayakashi and fleeting human lives were a bit heavy for me, so I didn't watch the episodes right away.

Haikyuu!! Karasuno VS Shiratorizawa
Even though the entire season was focused on a single match, it was beautifully done and kept me on the edge of my seat. Also, Tsukki. ;asdkf;adf This season was so good for Tsukishima fans like me! He really got to shine. :D I'm not following the manga weekly, but I did end up reading ahead of the anime in the middle of this season. And then I went off looking for Tsukishima fic.

Yuri!!! on Ice
The first episode was beautifully animated. The skating in the rest of the series couldn't compare to the first episode, but each episode sure was packed with emotion, and I almost can't believe how many different skating routines we got to see. All the research that must've gone into creating this series! Although there were tons of characters, I found them all pretty memorable and likable. Even JJ grew on me, haha. My favorite was Yurio though~. Gotta love how he can skate so well while pissed off. XD I especially loved the flashback in the last episode, finally showing his POV of what happened in episode 1. So much happened in just 12 episodes. Also, I absolutely love Victor with long hair. XD

Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love Legend Star
I liked this season more than season 3, and I liked that we got more of the dancing in 2D, with the 3D looking a bit more natural than the previous season's. I didn't like Ren much before, but I gotta say, I loved his outfit this time. A suit plus a ponytail! The duet project was fun, though even after it, I don't feel I know the Heaven's members very well. But it did give more development to STARISH. And dang, Otoya's episodes were dark. Haruka has pretty much faded into the background, with only a cursory thought given to her in the 1st and last episodes. As for the final songs in the concert, I did actually like STARISH's the best. I liked Heaven's previous song better than their new one.

Magic-Kyun! Renaissance
Even after watching the entire series, I still don't get it. What exactly is a magical art, and what use does it have??? Is it just for showing how good you are at your art? More sparkles = you're really good at your chosen field? It doesn't seem worth it for Kohana to risk her life over it. The pacing of the series was weird. I thought the festival thing would be the final goal, but nah. And the staircase. All that buildup about the staircase, but they don't even really go on it. Weird little series. :'D Aoi was cool though. Voiced by KENN even~. Also, Minagawa Junko voiced Kohana's very handsome roommate Juri. XD

WWW.Working!!
This was so fast paced, with couples everywhere, but the pacing was actually pretty refreshing because things were definitely not dragged out. I really liked Adachi's character design. XD (It's the ponytail, hahaha) Higashida was a funny protagonist with how deadpan he was. The skits with Saiki (who doesn't know much Japanese) were great fun. Hosoya did such a great job with Saiki, and his English wasn't bad. :D Nagata was cute, and good for her for scolding both Higashida and Miyakoshi. XD

Hibike! Euphonium
I have one episode left of this, though episode 12 already covered the final performance. The animation is beautiful~. This season seems to be more about other people than Kumiko, yet she's in the middle of everything. What a meddler. XD;;; Or, what convenient timing she always has, to be in the middle of everything so we get to see what's happening. XD I didn't care much for Asuka in s1, but this season changed that, and I loved how Mamiko's story connected with hers. Also, Kumiko was such a cute kid, so excited about music, wanting to be just like her sister. Looking forward to the last episode.

Detective Conan: Episode One - Chiisaku Natta Meitantei
Conan special~. I definitely didn't feel we needed a remake of episode 1, but it was still kind of nice to see episode 1 with updated animation, and to have it fleshed out more. It's cool seeing more of Shinichi before he shrank, though he actually felt younger to me. XD I guess he kind of is, since he hasn't had to become more mature because of danger. It was cute seeing Shinichi and Ran interact so naturally without any worries. Also, it was really funny seeing Shinichi in those clothes again. No matter how many times we're shown the amusement park date, it's always that green jacket. By now, it must be a traumatizing outfit for him. I also still can't get over how bloody the roller coaster case is.

I watched 2 episodes of Trickster. Don't know if I'll continue. I still might give Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari, Sangatsu no Lion, Watashi ga Motete Dousunda, Girlish Number, and Fune wo Amu a watch.
So, not only was there a prequel OVA, there's also an OVA by Production I.G. that adapts most of Season 1. :O A 30 minute OVA that adapts 78 chapters. :'D Well, to sum it up, it was very pretty and fast paced. Lots of stuff cut out, lots of characters all at once, but since everything's done in hindsight, M-21 and M-24 are sympathetic characters from the start and not 2 dimensional villains. XD

I hope this means that doors will be open to adapting more manhwa and webtoons to anime. :D Still, very strange to hear Noblesse in Japanese. Hearing Shinwoo get called by -chan and -kun is very weird. And Frankenstein with his "Yes, Master" in his Japanese accent made me think of Fate/Stay Night.


M-21. :DDDDD So pretty~~~

many screencaps )
I bought v1 of the Akatsuki no Yona blu-ray~~. It only has three episodes...

I'm much more of a manga collector, but Akayona is a series after my heart, so I bought the blu-ray. I'm just so happy to see one of Kusanagi Mizuho's series animated (after following her works for so long), and the anime was adapted super well.



I watched it today~. Even though it hasn't even been all that long, it was kind of nostalgic rewatching the first three episodes. Yona has really grown a lot. And I get teary-eyed every time I see Min-soo. ;__; Yona, Soo-won, and Hak were such cute kids. D:

more rambling )
Anime I just recently finished watching. (Winter or not)

I actually watched quite a few series this season, and the majority of them all aired on Saturday, haha...

Not spoiler free!

winter anime: Ace of Diamond, Aldnoah Zero, Boueibu, Bonjour Sweet Love, Durarara, Magic Kaito 1412, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, Shirobako, Yowamushi Pedal )

older anime: Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince, Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis, Sword Art Online II, Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji, Hitsugi no Chaika )

still watching: Sailor Moon Crystal, World Trigger )

New season, I'm hoping to check out Arslan Senki, Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, Ace of Diamond S2, Ore Monogatari, Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabukome wa Machigatteiru Zoku, Kyoukai no RINNE, and maybe Owari no Seraph and Plastic Memories.

I've read the manga for Yamada-kun. I'd always hoped that Yankee-kun to Megane-chan would get an anime, but the mangaka's other work being adapted is great too. It's like my other favorites all over again... I like Oresama Teacher, the mangaka's newer work, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun gets adapted. I like NG Life, the mangaka's newer work, Akatsuki no Yona gets adapted. I like Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, the mangaka's newer work, Yamada-kun gets adapted. Well, I'm glad their newer works are popular enough to get the anime treatment! ♥ I watched episode 1 of Yahari Ore... (Oregairu). Hikki's monologues are the best. I chuckled a lot through the episode. I hadn't finished S1 of Baby Steps, so no S2 for me until I do.

(Wow, looking at my previous post, I watched everything I planned on watching, and then some, except for Nanatsu no Taizai)
A belated post about all the stuff I bought in Japan. I bought... a lot. XD;;; (How did all of this fit in my luggage? Good question...)


All the Prince of Tennis stuff I bought. Really amazing how Prince of Tennis is still popular with so much merchandise. I guess the merchandise will keep the series going. Even though I'm not currently following Shin Tenipuri, I'm still buying the merchandise. :'D;; I won the huge towel from a UFO catcher. :3;; (It is now hanging on my wall.)

Prince of Tennis stuff )

other stuff )

manga and doujinshi )
Kiyu and I created a series to link everything together on AO3 for the cake verse~~. Cake verse now officially has a name. XD;; (But I bet it'll still be caaaake to many)

Until the End of Time

The series is named in such a way because of this scene from the manhua (Rule 20) where we spent forever trying to figure out what Lesus would say to Grisia as a vow. It can't be "until death do us part" because yeah, death isn't going to part them~. And now that the verse is continuing into present time with reincarnation, "Until the End of Time" it was! I'm excited. Seeing these fics linked like this makes me want to toss more side stories in there. XD; Kiyu already has one up~.

Most of the anime series I was watching over the spring and summer have ended! Here's what I finished watching. I didn't finish watching a lot.

Haikyuu, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Ao Haru Ride, Free, other )

upcoming season )

I actually finished watching a handful of anime. 8D

Kamigami no Asobi, Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii, La Corda d Oro Blue Sky, Hitsugi no Chaika, Isshuukan Friends, Yowamushi Pedal )

LSK V7C4 )

I'll be heading off to Anime Expo this Wednesday! Hope to see you there if you're going as well! I'll be cosplaying Tsukito from Kamigami no Asobi and Sugawara from Haikyuu!! (I'm still working on both cosplays, ahahaha) This means I probably won't be on LJ much until I return. No fic updates either until Sunday or later. (...man, I never did post about my AX 2013 experience... I'll have to do that sometime... a retrospective post haha...) I can be reached via Plurk or email while I'm away!
SilverManjusaka translated Long Live the Sun Knight into Chinese! :D

太阳骑士万岁 —雷瑟是太阳骑士?
「为什么。。不、你。。」雷瑟断断续续的说着,似乎不知道该从何处说起。我只希望他能快点松开捂住我嘴巴的手——我快断气了!但比起这个,我更希望自己快从梦中醒过来。犹豫了一阵后,他终于下了某种结论。

雷瑟看着我,「你一定是在我当上太阳骑士前认识的人。」

So I always thought of this fic as light Lesus/Grisia, but wow is the translation shippy. XD; Grisia's voice sounds better than in the original fic, me feels, haha. I adored it. SilverManjusaka took some liberties with the translation to make it sound more natural. I thought the result was pretty neat.

I've been wanting to translate some of my fics myself, but my attempts have not gotten far at all (because what is composing in Chinese even). I certainly wouldn't be able to make it sound like this. :3

So, today was the ending to Kamigami no Asobi! I adored the ending! I really didn't expect to like this anime so much heading in, but ahhhh, I really adored it. (...I guess the parallels to Legend of Sun Knight helped. XD;; I'll take it anywhere I can get, haha)

more rambling )

I wish I had more time. I would totally cosplay Kamigami hahahaha (but Anime Expo is only just around the corner).
LMAO this episode... I haven't giggled this hard in a long, long while.


THOR IS A TREE. *dies* Takeru and Tsukito are wearing the latest fashion dresses. Haha, the brothers as the step sisters? I like this set up.

Thor is probably the best part of this episode though, hahaha.

Hm, I think I might actually update Fifteen Going on Sixty next. :O It might only take three chapters to finish this fic! (I will be so happy if that's true.) I do have a chapter of My Friend, the Pope (in-training) partially written, but I'm veering into spoilerish territory now... Perhaps I'll make that chapter a later one. A Vice-Captain's Tale might need to be put on hiatus while we're on this part of the translations. Then again, the main character in the fic is Tyler and not... Maybe it doesn't matter... :'D

I'm glad that it sounds like many people have not been spoiled about the story. Phew. But gosh, the reactions to the translations of LSK V6C10!!! The theories dumped on V6C9 were awesome. My favorite one was that Adair is the last demon king candidate. XD;; Best theory ever. (/maybe we need fic about this...)

I recently marathoned through the Log Horizon anime! \o\ It's amazing! The basic premise "seems" to be that they're stuck in a MMORPG, but they don't actually know if they're stuck in the game or if they've been transported to a world very similar to the game. Lots of game mechanics are involved though (this is a lot of fun), and the MC is such a strategist and schemer. It's so awesome to see him work. 8D I was going "hnnnnng" the entire time because it was truly like a good mix of 1/2 Prince (MMORPG) and LSK (Shiroe is an amazing schemer), and it really made me want to explore the ramifications of being stuck in their avatars even more for Invincible. Mamare Touno, the author of Log Horizon and Maoyuu, is truly very good at exploring the politics and economics side of things. You would think a series based on the trope of being stuck in a game would focus on 1) how they got stuck in the game 2) getting home, but nope, the series instead focuses on building a new society in their new reality and trying to figure out how to get along with the NPCs that were originally living there. After all, the adventurers (the players) that came later should really be considered the strange ones instead of the NPCs. I really loved the direction the series took. :D And I'm so enjoying how smart the series is. Like, seriously. Watching it made me think. XD And it was able to make an entire episode featuring a conversation around a table very, very engaging. So yeah. I have a lot of praises to sing about this series because wow, it is very relevant to my interests, and it delivered. XD;;

Too bad there doesn't seem to be very much fic for the series... I might have to write some of my own. Hopefully they will be oneshots...
I am actually watching quite a list this season (for me, at least!) Listed in the order they air (Monday first). The question now is if I will be able to keep up. This is around the time when I start falling behind. XD;

Before this season started, I had my eye on Arata Kangatari and Karneval. I ended up not following Karneval (perhaps I'll catch up at a later date...), and Arata Kangatari is only so-so. I don't know how I ended up watching all these other series... and three mecha? What in the world... (I don't even like mecha all that much! But perhaps my tastes are changing.) I'm also belatedly watching Uta no Prince-sama and No. 6.

Arata Kangatari, Hataraku Maou-sama, Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, Devil Survivor 2, Chihayafuru, Kakumeiki Valvrave, Uchuu Kyoudai, Ore no Imouto wa Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai, Shingeki no Kyoujin, Suisei no Gargantia, Uta no Prince-sama, No 6 )
Oh man, I had such a good laugh over this series of "scientific" analyses of Shin Tenipuri. If you know any Japanese, I highly recommend this. XD; These videos analyze things like how Tezuka zone works, how fast you'd have to move to hit 8 balls at once, what Atobe's eyes must be like for him to use Atobe Kingdom, how much Tanishi needs to exercise to lose that much weight in that little time, the speed Kenya needs to use to walk across water, and such. Can't say I understood everything, but I couldn't stop laughing. XD There are videos of other series as well, like an analysis of Midorima's full court three pointer from Kuroko no Basket.




I received my books today! \o\ No Hero v8, Human Doll Contract, and Kill No More manhua v1, which also comes with a short story. All Yu Wo stuff. XD; Haven't touched the two novels yet, but I read the Kill No More manhua. I wonder if anyone will be scanlating this? I'm somewhat tempted... but have enough on my plate. The adaptation is so-so at the moment, but I'm always in favor of more Kill No More. ;)
