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. ;)

Seriously, I wish Konami would release another tennis game for Prince of Tennis. Form the Strongest team was such a cool game. I want to be able to train Shitenhouji and Higa players too!!

Here are some videos that showcase the game's awesomeness. (Seems like it's actually a pretty popular game even now! It's already so old.)

♥ Special voices for other people's techniques. In the game, you can teach your players other people's special moves. All characters have unique sayings when they learn Kikumaru beam, Rondo, Akutsu's smash, and the Laser Beam. I particularly love Yagyuu's rendition of all the moves! He uses polite speech. Akutsu says, "Gyaku da, kozou," which Atobe renders as, "Gyaku da, bouya" and Yagyuu renders as "Gyaku desu, shounen." Shounen!! He uses "lady" for the female version.
♥ Everyone's puns! You know Davide with his puns? Well, everyone has their own puns here! Hiyoshi's is particularly funny. Something like..."Jiji ni nattemo wakashi." "Even when I turn into an old guy, I'm still Wakashi (his name, which also means young.)
♥ All the team leader specials. Every single player is available for you to choose as the team leader. Everyone has their own special at the bench. Gakuto's makes everyone do flips.
♥ Self vs. Self. The characters say different things depending on who they're playing against. They say hilarious things when fighting against themselves!
♥ Self vs. Self part 2.
♥ Dropping people off the regulars and their shocked expressions.

♥ Form the Weakest Team! This person recorded the entire process of training the weakest players in the game. Watchers' comments are hilarious. Somehow, Sakuno is paired with Higashikata and Michiru is the ace of the team. Apparently there's a huge following of this undertaking.
♥ I cannot believe someone made a Haruhi parody based off the team that the above person made.

( some more for my own reference )

Reading other people's comments on nicovideo is really fun. Seems like a lot of other people cried starting from Daichi's story too. He's surprisingly popular.

♥ [MAD] Kujirano - A digest of Bokurano set to Venus Say, the Twin Spica OP. The lyrics fit really well. I love this.
♥ Bokurano ED Vermillion kaita - A redrawn version of the ending. It's hilarious. XD
♥ [Tegaki Gyakuten Saiban] Bokurano no ED kaite mita - A hand-drawn Gyakuten Saiban version of the ED Vermillion. :3
♥ [Bokurano]Meitantei Kirie - This made me laugh too. Background music from Meitantei Conan is used here.
♥ Bokurano no Ushiro no Hashiri - You know that scene in the OP where Ushiro is running? (I didn't know it was Ushiro until the episode where that scene actually happens, but anyway...) Someone animated that scene through typed symbols. Really cool.
♥ Bokurano ED Vermillion Full and also Bokurano ED Little Bird Full. Full versions of the songs.
♥ Uninstall Gintama Parody - ...spinning toilets and everything. WTH? XDDD
♥ [OPMAD]Bokurano no Yuuutsu + Rakigerion - Suzumiya Haruhi set to the Bokurano OP Uninstall. I've listened to that song so many times today.
♥ [Uninstall]Bokura no Message - Uninhabited Planet Survive set to Uninstall. It fits. Since, both focus on a group of teenagers who have to unite together...
♥ Uninstall with Mario Sequencer - I've listened to a lot of songs done on Mario Paint. I didn't know someone did one for Uninstall too!
♥ Bokurano Corda ~primo passo~ - Doesn't fit all that well, but I thought it was amusing how people kept commenting that it was a concert of death.
♥ Bokurano otoko kyara o onna kyara ni shite mita - the guys are redrawn as girls. Ushiro looks so cute with pigtails. (He almost looks like Isako from Dennou Coil.)
♥ [MAD] Ushiro no [Bokurano] An Ushiro-centered video.

edit: Audio commentary from the voice actors/director for all the episodes.

I haven't been updating much lately have I...except with tcg stuff. I actually joined another one, Trading Academy, since it has a lot of decks of series that I adore. There's even going to be an Over Drive deck coming out soon! :DDD

Only one episode left of Over Drive. DDD: I wonder if there'll be a second season...Over Drive doesn't seem that popular. I've been meaning to squeal about the series I've been watching, but I guess I'm too lazy to do even that properly...

Some videos I've been watching on nicovideo:

♠ Oofuri character introduction done in Gyakuten Saiban 4 PV style. I love this. The quotes! Epic music!! If I hadn't already been watching Oofuri, I totally would after this video. *hint hint*
♠ Oofuri de Corda - Hand-drawn Oofuri characters to the La Corda d'Oro opening. This just amuses me so because...imagine all the scenes with Hino and the guys and replace them with Mihashi and his teammates. XDDD
♠ Corda, Higurashi style. It's amazing how many scenes can look threatening out of context. XD
♠ A Suikoden II~III music vid. I love the music.
♠ Tenimyu Rikkai...Suikoden style. What more can I ask for? XD

Mm, and now fic stuff. I haven't written anything in such a long time. I'm going to get dropped for 30_kisses if I don't update Memories of the Future soon. I need to give the latest chapters a makeover first though. I so do not like what I've written, hence why it's been months since I've written them and they still haven't gone up at ffnet.

And gosh, it's the 19th already. The deadline for blind_go is just around the corner. How did that happen? I thought I'd get mine in early for once, and now it seems like I might not even be able to turn in anything...that'd make me sad.

Also, meme. From cynicalism. I know I'm going to fail epically.

a) go to my fics and pick out a line or two from one of my stories.
b) I will respond with which story I think it's from
c) points and a drabble to anyone who stumps me.

All of my fics listed here are fair game. Please don't throw any sentences that are too obscure at me. X3;;
