1 Paper/Subject/Day left - There's one marble left in my container, it goes away tomorrow. Yattearuyo.
I have finally experienced it - the elusive feeling known as joy from studying. Studying is a boring tedious process which students go through because they have to, and this holds true for me most of the time. However, there comes a time when one can appreciate the knowledge gained from mugging, and view mugging not as a chore but as a fun experience instead. Actually this may not be true, because I was really really tired when I was last minute mugging at 12.30am - 2.30am, and since I had to mug everything anyway, there is the possibility that I brainwashed myself into believing that mugging is fun. Anyways, it's not too late for this realization, and now that I'm no stranger to the joys of studying, maybe this will prove useful for university.
I had a lot of time to pass at home after today's morning paper, so I went to watch shoujo anime shows for fun XD.
Amu from Shugo Chara is, as I expected, very cute <3.
Yumeiro Patissiere is a typical shoujo show with lots of pink everywhere!, magical fairies, hearts, roses, strawberries and big sparkly eyes!~ (and bishounens but who cares about those things anyway?). It is also about subarashii cakey and subarashii sense of taste.
But with so many plus points it would inevitably lack in other departments, and here's one such case of bad logic:
*Mama whips out a golf club and addresses Papa* - "I found this under your bed when I was cleaning your room this morning! You keep buying golf clubs despite being so bad at it... Yet you still intend to refuse [your daughter's request to transfer to a culinary school]?!"
Personally I don't see the logical flow of the argument, if you do, please enlighten me.

Quest to find boku
I'm bored, so once again I shall post random stuff.
Today, or rather yesterday, since it is past 12am, I accompanied my family to IMM for dinner. In case you are wondering where IMM is, I have no freaking idea myself, cause I was dozing off during the car ride there. Ya, so I slept, then awoke to find myself at a mall called IMM. Dinner was first, and we ate subway there. Yum. Then I got to wander off by myself, while my mum and sis went to look at stuff that mothers and daughters see together, while sons wander off by themselves. First floor consists of mainly food, and err randomly mall-ish stores. Oh, and a giant Giant super/hyper-mart. Then, as all nice stuff are at the higher floors, I went straight to the third floor. It consisted of warehouses, and offices, and more warehouses, and a few more offices, and... ya you get my point. So I went back down to the second floor, and checked the level directory. The most interesting store was Comics Connection, so yay I went there. This is all part of my elaborate plan to visit every single comics connection in Singapore, so thussofar I have amassed 5 stores + 2 ones which I vaguely remember + a few random ones which I forgot. The 5 are:
1. Plaza Singapura
2. Bedok Interchange (bet no one knew about this ulu store)
3. Bishan Junction 8
4. Sengkang Compass something (went on tues lol, on my explore-the-north-east trip)
5. IMM
The two vague ones are... some third floor jurong thingyplace and some woodlands thingyplace. Yep.
Okay so back to the title of this post, I was well on my way in my Quest to find boku.
Oh ya, forgot to mention, on tuesday, at senkang comics con, I found metallic handphone stickers going at $3 apiece. YAY. Looked through 3 stacks of them, prolly around 170-200 total, and my catch was Saber + Rin, Suigintou + Shinku, C.C. + Kallen, and some random chio/moe/pretty bleach/naruto/onepiece characters. So I bought one, and it was...... Shinku. It goes well with the poster on my bedroom, or rather my bedroom which I use for 1/7 of the week. Yep lol. It's so shiny. Shiiinnnyyyyy.
Okay back to the title once again. The IMM comics con had 3 of 7 types of WoW boosters, tdp, sotb, and hfi. O_O That's weird, sets 2, 5 and 6. Lol so fast set 7 (Drums) ran out. But that's besides the point. I found MORE metallic stickers! YAY. This time, they were hanging on those metal stick-out-thingies. 5 rows of them. I repeat, 5 rows of them. Each row having around 75 stickers, that amounts to 375 in total. Woot. So I started browsing through everything. Stuff that I found, in order of what I found first:
1. Lots of random Death Note, One piece, Bleach, Naruto, Inuyasha (O_O), Hell girl (O_O, the 4 words/kanji symbol lol), Slam Dunk, Getbackers, Gintama stuff
2. I found Suigintou (again), then I found Bara-smthsmth (the spoiler 7th doll) on the first row (from the right)
3. On the second row, I found SHANA looking quite tsun and loli and melon-pan-ish, but on closer inspection it wasn't coloured properly =(
4. Near the back of the second row I found Allen Walker with the golden snitch thingy (SHIT FORGOT HIS NAME, lemme think, think think think think, errr, no I'm not cheating and googling, Timcampy, YESSSS thats right), with Mr. Walker looking quite young but not that shota-ish, not that I go for such stuff, but the Fat Yaoi Fangirls that were also in the store might.
5. At the back of the second row I found what I was looking for, Lenalee Leeeeee. And the version with the long hair. Woot.
6. 3rd row was abit meh. Moar Saber and Rin but that's about it.
7. 4th row was quite sucky too, I think there was a Shinku or two on this row. Oh, and a shit-forgot-his-name-too, the D.gray-man sword dude. Who looks wayy too much like Alto-hime. That reminds me, I have 22 more epis of Macross F to watch before this weekend. And I'm going out tmr/today, GG.
8. 5th row had a Lavi (his voice actor sounds quite funky). And I found Kanaria and Hinaichigo. Oh, and that reminds me, I found a desu on the 4th and 1st rows. Okay, so now the rozen maiden count is: Suiggy's there, Kanaria's there, desu's there, WHERE'S THE BOKU, Shinku's there, Strawberry's there, and Spoiler's there.
9. And scrolling through the rest of the 5th row, with my confidence and hope waning by each passing non-boku sticker, I reached the 6th last sticker. AND I FOUND A BOKU. Mission Success! That's the 369th sticker out of 375 stickers. What are the chances lol.
Yep, and in the end I also bought 1 more sticker, and am frantically finding space on my phone to put the new sticker. Guess what it is? Nope it's not the boku, s/he'll fight with my Shinku when I'm not looking. Yepp it's the lenaleeeeeeeeee. I wanted the shana too, but it was sucky. Nvm there's always Plaza Sing comics con. Okay that's all folks. Lol off I go to find space on my hp casing.
Oh btw, err free hugs or a loli (pick one, only one) to whoever who can spot the math error in this post.

Casshern Sins 2
Casshern Sins isnt so bad after all, and that is my opinion after watching episode 2. Well, they still repeated the word Casshern quite a number of times, but it's bearable I guess. And this series seem to be one of those that is episodic in nature, introducing and killing off new characters each episode. Dammit, that means little or no future screentime for renchi =( or friendster, i mean friender. And what's with the episode loli..? Every episode introduces one...

Autumn 2008
Edit: Casshern Sins, ef, and Rosario+Vampire
And now the actual owner of this blog shall give his view on this season's new anime series. And I don't understand why people call it fall, doesnt autumn sound so much nicer? Brings about the images of leaves falling and golden maple leaves and such. But then again, fall literally brings about images of leaves falling, so ya.
Firstly, WHY ARE THERE AROUND 37 NEW ANIME SERIES?!?!? And that's not taking into account ongoing series, e.g. soul eater, shounen (bleach, naruto), etc. But mainly that's because many anime series ended - Macross F (not that i watched it), Code Geass (spoiler: Spike and Akiko dies), D.gray-man (zomg finally ended only after 103 episodes).
Okay, so now that the introduction is complete. There are 11 series that I shall be following because it is a must-watch, 4 more that I should be watching if i get the chance to, and like 10 that i should be watching the first epi just to see how good/bad it is. Then i'll just mention the rest.
Warning: Slight spoilers ahead, read on at your own risk.
1.To Aru Majutsu no Index
Watched epi 1. Power levels are awesome, though sadly there's no one over 9000... Index is moe, main guy character's hair is wayy too spikey, shocking girl is shocking, and nice build-up for episode 2. So far the best of the 11 shows that I've actually watched one epi of.
2. Toradora!
I somehow like this show alot, but then again, i'm a sucker for romantic comedies. Other people think it's the generic kind of show, with the standard tsun, and i can't really deny it, but i still like it lol. Maybe it's the kugyuu power.
3. Tales of the Abyss
Looking at the characters remind me of a certain time period a while ago where tota figurines were the craze among a certain group of friends. I STILL HAVE ANISE. and luke, for that matter. Well, the first epi makes luke out to be some random spoilt brat, whose sole purpose in life is to spar with his sensei~. And tear is overpowered. Well, it just shows that aoe spells are highly effective when infiltrating a castle, and clearly there is a relationship between what social class you are from and your resistance to aoe sleeping spells. Well, moe "C.C" tear carried the show, so its quite high on my to-watch list. And it's the only series so far with ep 2 already out subbed. And I know tota is all nice and everyone loves it, BUT WHY ARE THERE 9 DIFFERENT SUBS OUT?!?!
4. Clannad After Story
Clannad. Enough said. Must watch. Tomo-pyon~
5. Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka
Kugyuu and Hirano Aya. What more can one ask for from an anime adaptation of a game? Well the main char's reputation seems like toradora's main char's one, but for different reasons altogether. And the grey haired girl is quite cute. Anyone else wondering how the president's hair will look like in real life?
6. Kuroshitsuji
Heard alot about it before actually watching the show, and it seems to be another hayate the combat butler, but with different animation style this time. The animation style kinda reminds me of a certain other series, but i just can't seem to figure out which one it is. Well, from what i heard, i was preparing for shota yaoi undertones in the first epi, but none really came out. Phew. Generally an interesting series I guess, doesnt hurt to follow.
7. Casshern Sins
The least rated (by me of course) of the top 11 anime shows this season, that I've watched the first epi of. It was supposedly quite "solid" and "good", according to a few friends, but i guess it turned out to be overrated. I was expecting maybe more awesome action scenes, and less overpowered protagonist, but then again maybe this isnt those type of shows. Also, I think it's because of the less-than-ideal setting at which i watched the show, which made the dark scenes quite hard to make out what is happening. So main things i dislike from this show's first epi - boring, overpowered, too dark to make out anything (but it's probably my fault for this), irritating dialoge after awhile (casshern, casshern, casshern CASSHERN x100). O wells, will follow just because it's on animania and because it's suppose to be better later on.
Hrmm I rewatched Casshern Sins on computer, and the contrast is much better. I can actually make out what is happening! Zomg. Bad TV contrast is bad. But still, that doesn't solve the problem of it being somewhat boring...
8. Linebarrels of Iron
Hard to say anything on this one, just that the production crew and voice actors/actresses are top-rated. Don't know how I'm gonna watch this though, hard to find it. I don't really have that much against gonzo, unlike 95% of the herd mentality anime community out there. They did tower of druaga just fine thank you. So, this will be an interesting pick. 1 of 4 shows from top 11 that i havent watched 1 epi of.
9. Vampire Knight Guilty
YESSS vampire knight again. Though vampire knight is meant to be a shoujo manga i think, with all the pretty boys and stuff. The concept is quite fun, vampires and different powers, the standard interesting set-up. I don't know why, but shows of characters each with a different special power is almost always fun to watch, including 300+ epis of shounen anime i think, but havent watched any of those so can't say much on the matter. This series has a really fast sequel, unlike tower of druaga *cough cough June/July 2009 cough cough*, or haruhi. Well, I havent watched epi 1, hope it turns out fine, after the shocking (err... quite shocking, but slightly predictable too) ending of season 1. Not many people i know are gonna follow this, mainly cause no one bothered to watch season 1, o well sucks to them.
10. ef - a tale of melodies
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~SHAFT~SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. ef is awesome. But i heard it's gonna focus more on side characters, and less of Kei Shindou. Dammit. <3 Kei. And the song for the game OP was also damn good.
Watched the first epi. It was abit blur at certain points, especially the beginning, so i'm finding alternative sources and seeing if it's a problem during encoding (?) or with the raw itself. Anyways, this is sooo good that it has gone up to be number 1 in the to-watch list. The funky visuals never loses its appeal, and new gal character is awesome... But WHERE IS MY KEI?!?!
11. Chaos;Head
Don't know anything about this, but heard its really really good, so must watch lol. Maybe i'll post my thoughts and comments on this series when i've watched it.
And I'm too tired to write anything on the rest, so i'll just list them out.
12. Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae
Sequel must watch. Though i dont think i've watched season 2.
13. Skip Beat!
Pinku Shoujo manga wtf?
14. Mouryou no Hako
Screenshot looks awesome.
15. Hokuto no GAR Ken Roah Gaiden - Ten no Haoh
Infinite loop in arcade game is lol.
and that was the next 4, the rest are just random hit or miss shows, listed in no order of importance, its the order of date released.
16. Hakushaku to Yousei
Medieval
17. Hyakko
Slice of Life
18. Shikabane Hime Aka
Gainax
19. Yozakura Quartet
Superpower awesome...
20. GA-REI -zero-
Ghostbusters, now in anime-form!
21. Macademi Wasshoi!
Err... Roris?
22. Kyou no 5 no 2
Slice of Life apparently.
23. Kurozuka
Gar(?) Samurai
24. Tytania
Space. Lol?
25. Kemeko-DX
Rori number 2. I heard.
Okay, you'll never hear from me again, i'll be too busy trying to follow 98135789167 anime series. including backlog. GG.
P.S. Stuff I missed:
1. Gundam 00 Second Season
Imma not a gundam fan, and didnt watched first season, so too bad I'll have to miss this out. It's apparently one of the really really REALLY must watch shows this season, similar to code geass and stuff. O well, i shall forgo mechas for 2d girls. Yea.
2. Kannagi
I watched first epi of this, and it's crap. Maybe I'm expecting too much from this show, but ya the first epi was just boring throughout, and the girl isnt even moe enough for my liking. Though the OP is quite awesome, I would recommend it to anyone who loved the Seikan Hikou vid.
3. Rosario+Vampire CAPU2
I attempted to watch season 1, and ended up at.... epi.... 6? Dunno, it was so long ago. I actually record what i've watched of everything, but it's somewhere in my hdd and i'm lazy to hook it up so ya. I heard the producers actually used feedback productively and made a less fail anime. This is a must watch to anyone who hasnt seen bats being placed at very specific locations in an anime setting before. lol bats.
Though I didn't even complete season 1, i just started watching first epi for fun. New orange haired girl is introduced zomg. And i finally saw mizore in action, damn she is awesome. She's cool, in more ways than one lol. And purple-ness is nice. And she's a stalker o_O.
And now the actual owner of this blog shall give his view on this season's new anime series. And I don't understand why people call it fall, doesnt autumn sound so much nicer? Brings about the images of leaves falling and golden maple leaves and such. But then again, fall literally brings about images of leaves falling, so ya.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~SHAFT~SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. ef is awesome. But i heard it's gonna focus more on side characters, and less of Kei Shindou. Dammit. <3 Kei. And the song for the game OP was also damn good.
Watched the first epi. It was abit blur at certain points, especially the beginning, so i'm finding alternative sources and seeing if it's a problem during encoding (?) or with the raw itself. Anyways, this is sooo good that it has gone up to be number 1 in the to-watch list. The funky visuals never loses its appeal, and new gal character is awesome... But WHERE IS MY KEI?!?!
11. Chaos;Head
Don't know anything about this, but heard its really really good, so must watch lol. Maybe i'll post my thoughts and comments on this series when i've watched it.
And I'm too tired to write anything on the rest, so i'll just list them out.
12. Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae
Sequel must watch. Though i dont think i've watched season 2.
13. Skip Beat!
Pinku Shoujo manga wtf?
14. Mouryou no Hako
Screenshot looks awesome.
15. Hokuto no GAR Ken Roah Gaiden - Ten no Haoh
Infinite loop in arcade game is lol.
and that was the next 4, the rest are just random hit or miss shows, listed in no order of importance, its the order of date released.
16. Hakushaku to Yousei
Medieval
17. Hyakko
Slice of Life
18. Shikabane Hime Aka
Gainax
19. Yozakura Quartet
Superpower awesome...
20. GA-REI -zero-
Ghostbusters, now in anime-form!
21. Macademi Wasshoi!
Err... Roris?
22. Kyou no 5 no 2
Slice of Life apparently.
23. Kurozuka
Gar(?) Samurai
24. Tytania
Space. Lol?
25. Kemeko-DX
Rori number 2. I heard.
Okay, you'll never hear from me again, i'll be too busy trying to follow 98135789167 anime series. including backlog. GG.
P.S. Stuff I missed:
1. Gundam 00 Second Season
Imma not a gundam fan, and didnt watched first season, so too bad I'll have to miss this out. It's apparently one of the really really REALLY must watch shows this season, similar to code geass and stuff. O well, i shall forgo mechas for 2d girls. Yea.
2. Kannagi
I watched first epi of this, and it's crap. Maybe I'm expecting too much from this show, but ya the first epi was just boring throughout, and the girl isnt even moe enough for my liking. Though the OP is quite awesome, I would recommend it to anyone who loved the Seikan Hikou vid.
3. Rosario+Vampire CAPU2
I attempted to watch season 1, and ended up at.... epi.... 6? Dunno, it was so long ago. I actually record what i've watched of everything, but it's somewhere in my hdd and i'm lazy to hook it up so ya. I heard the producers actually used feedback productively and made a less fail anime. This is a must watch to anyone who hasnt seen bats being placed at very specific locations in an anime setting before. lol bats.
Though I didn't even complete season 1, i just started watching first epi for fun. New orange haired girl is introduced zomg. And i finally saw mizore in action, damn she is awesome. She's cool, in more ways than one lol. And purple-ness is nice. And she's a stalker o_O.

Fall 08
EDIT: for a couple more shows and to make it more readable
because the latest update was just @_@ im back to provide opinions on a season that looks decent instead of the previous *coughlolkanokontoloveruetccough*
watched some ep 1s today so like for the 2 people who read this blog you can have my opinions on this
After Story: Don't need to say anything about it since presumably everyone who isn't anti-Key is watching.
Toradora: Kugyuu animu no. 1. Standard tsundereloli but the male protagonist is surprisingly funny and carries the show
To Aru Majutsu no Index: RAILGUN LOLI, received good reviews so far and imo it's pretty nice, again the protagonist isn't another generic one. I thought Index was Kugyuu at first, sounds a lot like her.
Akane-iro ni Somaku Saka: Same studio produced Index, apparently all the budget went to Index hence the low quality of this h-game adaptation. It's fairly easy to tell that it IS an adaptation (OP, stupid plot device to set up meeting). A bit meh and Hirano Aya the imouto doesn't really help, neither does having Kugyuu again. Watch at own risk.
Skip Beat: (didn't watch) HEY GAIZ SHOUJO MANGO
Tales of the Abyss: Moe Tear is moe =D awesome, follows game closely (which I am now playing) and good animation as well. +1
Kuroshits(uji): Darker than Hei the Combat Butler. +1
Kurogane no Linebarrels: Did I hear some NOTO-SAMA? But PV looked dumb. Also, Gonzo.
Shikabane Hime: Gainax. Hit or miss, saw screenies of first ep which loosk... ok I guess. Apparently there's a no service gimmick or something.
Casshern Sins: Pretty nice but need to wiki it before watching as it's a remake and doesn't explain the plot (presumably you are supposed to know)
Chaos Head: recommended by serados. haven't watched yet but will update
Hokuto no Ken: RAWRRRR
Vampire Knight Guilty: refer to Dneo's post or something
Ef: From what I watched of first half of first season it was ok, I like Shaft's funky visuals (although some don't) so I presume it will be good.
Mouryou no Hako: Seems average? Haven't watched.
Jigoku Shoujo: I think I'm the only one who didn't follow the series ):
got some others but nothing that special unless it was the gurren lagann of the season (ie start out slow then the doriru becomes HUEG) but this season looks a lot better than the first half of the year :o

Weæk
It's been a week since the last post, a thursday ago that I actually bothered to spend time writing on this web log that few read. Actually, the last real post was on August 19. Man that was a long time ago. Over these past few days, I've constantly thought of and reminded myself to update the blog, yet nothing happens. I guess I can blame it on one thing - weakness. It is currently a week of holidays, or so they call it. A short break before the shit hits the fan, the calm before the storm, the build-up to the climax. With the beginning of this week, another kind of weakness overcomes me. I guess I'm not ready yet, I'm not strong enough, it's not yet time.
I guess I can only find time and motivation to write when I actually go to school and interact with people, rather than staying at home and wasting the days away. So don't expect anything on days when I dont go to school. Oh, and I've reached the second phase of my blogging mode. As you can see from the posts since August 19 till now, it is wayy alot slacker than before. I'll probably post less, it is really tiring (as if I'm not tired enough) to post so frequently.
Today, I made a new friend, if you count that as one, but you probably wouldn't, so yea nothing much happened today.
Oh, and I found a therapeutic game. Here you go. What's your highscore? Mines 28582950 (only).
Oh, and I found an awesome chinese drama serial - Mondays to Fridays, 7pm, Channel 8 (Free-to-air). It is set in Malaysia, and is chock full of Malaysians, not that I'm complaining, it is always refreshing to see new faces. The main actor guy looks "cute", according to multiple sources, and the female cast is pleasant enough. The acting is of a decent standard, and the chinese accent is awesome (think Mark Lee's accent in Ah Long). What makes the series awesome is the outrageous plot, coupled with highly exaggerated acting by the cast. And the cute guy. Anyways, the series is halfway through, 13 eps out of 26, so there's still time to watch the show. And from the show, directed at whomever who wants to contemplate suicide because of terminal illnesses, here's a (not exact) quote: "Because I fear death, I'm going to take my own life... Wait... that doesn't make sense."
Oh that reminds me, I've just completed an anime series - Tower of Druaga. The last two episodes were abit hard to come by, but in the end I managed to get them. I won't say much, as this isn't an anime blog, but this series was very enjoyable, considering the reputation of the producers of the series, and considering the genre of the show - video game adaptations. Well, thinking about it, it is actually very well done. Good job. But... there's a sequel to the series, and guess when it's out? July 2009. Err ya, that's slightly less than a year to go. O well good things need time to produce. Let's see if I'm still an anime fan when that comes.

Most Unproductive Day 4
Wah there seems to be a larger influx of MUDs now that I'm suppose to be a mugger. Oh noes what is my world coming to... Anyway about school, IOP and chinese oral done. YESSS IT'S OVARR. And I know a dude who has both on today, good luck lol. IOP was a slight bit of success, I hope, well if I didn't shoot myself in the food, then everything should be fine. Though I think I talked abit too fast and too much, with too little quotes. O well, gg then.
Anime-wise, I found an awesome MAD on nico nico video, and have been watching it a few times. And in unrelated news, I've changed my wallpaper from Shana to something else, some old 2005 anime, which was one of the best series I've seen so far. Let's see who can guess it.
Still falling behind in my work, but that shouldn't be the case soon enough. Must work harder to keep my promises. =)
Vote on dumb poll here (Below the tag board) and do the Jo/No-hari window thingy if you got alot of free time ----->
