Natsume Yuujinchou San
I have fallen so behind with anime watching that I haven't been watching anything lately. I've tried to keep up with Natsume, but I fell behind with that too! I played catch up this week though, and now I'm just two episodes behind. The episodes quite relax me.


Matobe Matoba! Voiced by Suwabe Junichi, who voices Atobe from Prince of Tennis. Because of this, I keep typing Matoba's name as Matobe, haha... this is the Atobe syndrome. I read a little of the manga but didn't keep up with it. Nice to see this arc animated!

The World God Only Knows OVA
A one episode OVA came out for Kami Nomi! Was great seeing Keima in action again, though this episode was merely a bridge to something more. It sure hints at a lot of things though.

New games announced!
So recently, I've heard that Fire Emblem is coming out with a new game on the 3DS (now I really need to get a 3DS sometime, huh? Especially since it now seems very likely that the Professor Layton vs Gyakuten Saiban game is going to be released in English too. But 3D is lost on me since I like it best when I turn the 3D all the way down).

Just yesterday, there was also news that there'll be a new Suikoden game on the PSP. This made me very happy since I heard that the Suikoden team had been disbanded. While this isn't a continuation of the main storyline, I'm just happy that the series is continuing. I enjoyed Tierkreis. Hopefully I'll enjoy the new game too.

I spent the most money on doujinshi while in Japan. They really added up. I didn't have a single doujinshi before this. Now my collection has...exploded. They're still spread over my floor. My relatives were quite curious about what they were, so I found myself explaining about Comiket and doujinshi and all that. They were impressed with the whole notion (especially self printing). Good thing all of my doujinshi are quite safe for everyone. XD;; Some of these were bought at Comiket. Some were at used book shops.

...I wrote this while playing Tierkreis some weeks ago. Why the heck did I write this long rambling thing? Since the English version came out and more people are playing it, I thought that maybe some will find this interesting? Maybe? I still need to finish the game. And see if I can connect with the American version with my Japanese version. I will be sad if I can't. D:

This covers roughly 1/2 of the game, I think. More shocking events happen later that I wish I had written about.

Game blog/summary of sorts. full of spoilers. long and pointless )
Level 28 and enjoying it so far. I just looove it when I have to break into several parties (favorite part in FF6) and that happens plenty of times in this game. The first time I had to do actual battle with my different parties...I only had enough characters to divide my parties into one party of 3 (main character + two others), one party of two (both reasonably strong), and another party of 3 (...they were all kind of weak). The last party was so difficult. -__-;; Almost died several times, but afterward, they leveled up like...8 levels. I've also been doing a lot of side quests, but one of them is still not doable at the moment since I don't have enough female characters. I need to send a party of female characters to find a guy...

...super long summary to come next. =P
Finally got my Yuletide story in at the last minute. I should learn not to pick so many fandoms when I'm not all that familiar with them. Writing this took way too long. Congrats to everyone who finished! I still have three more fic exchanges to do. Ahahah...

I finished Fire Emblem DS last week though. I'm getting around to games I've been meaning to play and finish!

FE:DS thoughts )

Suikoden Tierkreis came out in Japan this week. Guess what I'll be playing next? XD
