My Venus Visit

Yesterday, I was in Venus *Love Planet* for my weekly visit there and I was stunned! *I'm always stunned by that place anyway.* Wandering the place, I saw most billboards with gorgeous anime babes! Not just that gorgeous, as in "gorgeous". *Yeah, you know what I mean.* How sick was that! No place in Earth *Not even in Japan I guess.* will be the place for ecchii images publicly! So you too should visit Venus to know what exactly I mean. I can't upload all the photos here cause some are just too revealing, obscene.

I don't mind walking here all day long...!

I don't mind passing these billboard by all day long...!

I don't mind cheering for these painters all day long...!

I don't mind using the escalator back and forth all day long...!

I don't mind if this building is still under construction...!

I don't mind standing here all day long...!

Obviously, I am just fooling around. There's no such place as Venus. *At least one livable place that I can visit on a weekly basis. I can't even do it in Japan for at least once a year.* Photos were only generated from Photofunia. Try it and love it!

My Anime Hair

Which hair ? Sugoi! I want 9!

It is definitely a work of art how a little bit of styling put on hair *or too much* can dramatically change one's appearance. *How wonderful.* It's not a new thing and we all knew that boys pay so much attention to it. It is also the "Crown and Glory" not only for girls but for the boys as well. I don't have a hunch about what most of you think about anime characters' hair but for me they're been the biggest influence on how I do my hair. But of course, most anime are fiction-based so some *Or maybe most* of the hair styles has been so fictitious and are difficult to accomplished *I always went on thinking how many wax or gel should I spend just to pull a certain style off.*

I remember when I was a grader I also go to school with my Trunks' Hair on *Without the hair color.*. When I was in High School, I also tried Son Gohan's *The short hair one, cause that was the simple and permitted one. I can't go to school with Son Gokou's Super Saiyan 3 hairdo! Lolz *. Time passes and our fetish in hair changes gradually as we grow older so I wanted to have longer hair *Kinda like that of Xingke ~lol*. I envy people I see in the street having punky hairstyle, I see too much Sasuke Itachi and Ryuuga Hideki in malls nowadays. So now before I suffer Male Hair Deficiency Syndrome, I will style it any way I want.

How long would it take for me to have that hair? Forever?

Eroge - Closer Encounter

"Konata's ability to play video and read manga at
the same time is beyond human comprehension"

Behold! I have a confession to make!*Neh, So much for an intro.*

I feel unworthy today. It felt like I did a crime I'm not supposed to commit. *Yeah as if there's such a crime we all can commit.*

I was in a gaming week last time and the sole reason for my obvious online disappearance lately. I will not going to mention the games here *Cause that might cause me some readers* I was religiously paying attention to my computer monitor, making use of all my might playing with keyboard/mouse buttons like it was a joystick! *I know I'm exaggerating here.* I'm not a hardcore gamer as an otaku should be but I'm actually a decent player *Even though I'm not a gaming pilgrim and not updated with new stuffs.* Last couple of months due to my shoujo marathon engagements, I decided to download a Visual Novel and luckily it was Clannad. As I researched various post and online docus about VN, I stumbled with eroge. Eroge has not been a strange thing to me since the term is pretty obvious and context clues always point you in gaming. *That's how we met. "Eroge and me"*. So I ended searching for a "decent eroge" *Is there such a thing?* My preferences were, not that "big eyed" like most characters and fully interactive *Not just simply clicking.*. I asked through Yahoo Answer and the respond went fast saying I should try "The Sagara Family and Bible Black". I downloaded the former since I've watched Bible Black and I have to say it's below the belt for me, seriously. I'm dead serious ~as part of a religious family, it's kinda extremely hardcore. *I'm not kidding.* The eroge didn't stayed uninstalled compare to the VN. I'm so curious about it. I have idea of the story. OMG! Even the load screen are not suitable for so much mature contents *Wide open big eyes.*. It offers nothing but bunch of ecchii scenes! You will not bother skipping the conversation part and I'm start thinking *This is lame.* To tell you frankly, it was my very first experience with true eroge! *I played SimBabe, a dating sim in my mobile phone long ago.*. To tell you again, I have guilt feeling that I shouldn't have played that game. *Even though it has been ancient times since I'm wondering what it is to be while playing those kind of things?* That is what making me feel filthy. Yes, I'm no angel but If I can turn back time I probably didn't bite the bait and just stick my nose with Clannad game. I don't know about the other eroge out there *I also know some VN have sexual contents but I guess that's not the same with hardcore eroge, just like most R-18 movies.* but I should never wandered that uncharted land of mine in the first place.

It is disgraceful when I see cute anime char
in sexual scenes, looks like a bondage Kotomi.

Yozakura Shijuusou 1

Hime's Zettai Ryouiki is FTW.

I'm not about blogging any anime episodes but since my blog is obviously about animes and a made reviews about them also makes a blog interesting, I decided to start one as well *That's is just FMHO.*. Since many have blogged Gundam 00 S2 *I don't want to join the bandwagon.*, I decided to pick from the other list and I remembered that Yozokura Quartet has hit my nerve back then when I'm looking in the upcoming anime previews.

The first episode was nothing epic, the usual introductory phase of most anime series. Story started with the introduction of Sakurashin, a town where human and Youkai can live together *Sounds familiar?*. These town is said the place of Sakura trees that was and only way of the youkai can be send back to their dimension. The Hiizumi clan, where the successor and the only human who can perform the process called "tuning" *Dispel Youkais.* came from, must act to protect human against Youkai with the intention to hurt the latter. Because the Youkai's immigration increasing annually and so with the security risk, the task of protecting the town has become organized, leaving the job to a group consisting of Youkais and the successor of Hiizumi clan.

Some Hiizumi Clan or Zetsubou Sensei?

The episode showed glimpse of how these group "Yozakura Shijuusou or Yozakura Quartet" works in maintaining the order in Sakurashin. A super-strong girl named Hime, a Dragon Incarnation, Ao, a Satori (mind reading Yokai), a conjurer named Kotoha, and a Hiizumi named Akina.

Hime, the Dragon incarnate. She demonstrated her power by...

standing still in high places,...

jumping so high with her long scarf on,

deflecting speeding bullet with her bare hand,

and crying over a overheated instant noodles.

Ao, the mind reader and probably the youngest. She's sad with the
perverted thoughts going on in the air. It's kinda hard for her.

This is how she uses her power. Looks like a scene from some H-anime!

"Much closer look!"

Kotoha, the "Language user". She can summon
things through emphasized words.

Here, she's about to summon load of ammunitions.

and with just that being said, she unleashes the firepower...

I wonder why she didn't use her power to... build her plamos?

Akina, the "Tuning" expert.

Nothing really special about him. Just your normal anime guy who dispels Youkai..
After all it's only the first episode.

Yozakura Quartet, Quar... oh. One, two, three, four, five? Okay, but sure I can count.

The culprit. The reason why I counted five. Kyosuke, the "Oni", huh?

Someone just sneaked in,but in a very obvious place and he looked familiar.

I see, that's why he is so familiar. He looks like Ao.

Oh man! What were they' doing? Siscon?

My Verdict:

Seems like my rapid cognition failed me, nothing really excite me when I watched it. My snap judgment when I first read the description of it in some anime previews really felt short cause it's totally different from what I'm expecting. The animation is just okay, the character design I can say is "Not your typical...". The art through opening and ending themes were quite amusing even though the music is not that "catchy" and I probably will skip it the next time. But since it's just the first episode like what I've said I will still give it a try but to keep on blogging it, nah these is enough. If you want some girls with unconventional character designs and supernatural powers, these probably might do the work. All in all, good anime but not that special.

Code Geass Swing Gashapon

You can get all of them! No sweat!

I thought it's kinda late but I will still post it anyway. Remember my first encounter with Code Geass Swing? Yes they're called swing. I don't have a clue why swing. When we happened to be back for the next con, I'm so excited cause I'm about to have my new fig *The following Sunday for Cosmania '08.* so I tried the Gashapon Machine. I'm totally wrong about it. It is not like pachincko as I said earlier in my post and you don't need to have basket of luck to win. So I bought tokens *You would be needing two and that will cost you US$ 2.00.* and my first try was a Suzaku! *I''m a bit disappointed cause I'm hoping for a Lelouch with Geass on or Anya.* So I bought another pair of tokens, put it on the coin operated toy vending machine with a prayer and wah lah! Oh Yes! Kami-Sama has listened to my prayer! Another Suzaku MF'ing keychain! Damned! But I didn't and never lose hope, so I make my way again to the counter, bought the usual stuff that I'm buying moments ago *The cashier was so kawaii! She probably noticed me noticing her. ~lol.*. Came back to the cheating machine *That's what I'm starting to feel that time, that the machine was doing tricks on me.* and did some voodooing, enchanting, sacrificing a baby, holding a charm while saying "Lelouch, Lelouch, or Anya. Or maybe Xingke will do." in Latin! Hell break loose! I saw the heaven opened, "Divine Intervention?". Maybe the gods pity me cause I spend US$ 6.00 already. When I opened the lid, my whole world gone GAINAX! You will not believe it but probably it's obvious, that I got another MF'ing Suzaku keychain fresh from the capsule! Yes, All Hail Suzaku keychains! What have I done in my past life that maybe altered the natural occurrences in these time and space continum? I wanted to ask the sale assistants if there's any solutions they can offer but I knew there's no way they can help me since the token is...ahh a long story. Discount all the overreactions (I didn't really sacrificed a baby and no animals were hurt), I just can't help but to laugh over these funny experience and maybe one of my regretful act in my life.

Almighty Gashapon Machine: "Get your filthy hands off me you lowly being".

Lesson Learned:

1. Gashapon is for little children. If you want the capsule toys, ask a kid to do it for you. And perhaps, they are more bless than you.

2. And if you still insist of doing it yourself and got a Suzaku, stop right there. Kami-sama is telling you that you're not worthy of touching the sacred Gashapon Machine.

3. If you have more than one Suzaku Gashapon and you want to sell it, the possibility of that being sold is zero! *They just think that you're an imbecile. It's relatively expensive for US$ 2.00.* So just try to be generous and give it to other. *Just like what I did.*

Anime Clubs

Which club will you be joining?

When I was in Highschool, I was part of Journalism club and I had fun for about 4 years in my stay in said club. But because my college days was much occupied compare to my earlier academic years, being committed to various extra curricular activities such as clubs might ruin my solemn involvement in my studies so I did not bother myself in joining any, seriously I'm dead serious in studying! But feeling of regrets is always hunt me whenever I watch anime where activities of a club is highlighted. What If I started a club like The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture, Maikaru's Brigade To Greatly Enliven the World, or Maikaru's Host Club? What would be my life then? So much for my sentiments.

I wondered if I started a Host Club back then. I guess my parents will always have to pay visit in the guidance council office.

So for these week Versus Triple Threat, if your an anime character what club would you most likely be joining in? Will you join and help Haruhi and her S.O.S. dan in their quest of finding paranormal phenomena? Or will it be Genshiken so you can share your Otaku indulgences with other fellow otakus as well? or are you going to write your name in the poster made by Nagisa because you love the big dango family *and start doing some Shakespear's?* Whatever the club I pursue of joining, just the thought of it always excites me! And if ever to recruit other character from other anime, who would that be? Your convincing power is only effective for one.

My Verdict:

I like Kyou and Kotomi of Clannad and If asked by them I'll be joining right away that would be no sweat but acting is and never became my thing. I think S.O.S. Brigade would be a nice choice. The brilliant and perverted mind of Haruhi amaze me so well *Lol* and having a leader with that kind of enthusiasm *enthusiasm?* will be a big factor! I like Genshiken but I find some of their activities quite boring so I rather go alien hunting. No offense Genshiken addicts. But all in all, whatever club you will be joining, that would be a great experience! I will ask Konata to join the S.O.S. Brigade, I always wonder how Konata and Haruhi deal with each other.

Konata after hearing my plead: Let's go hunt some aliens, time travelers and espers!

Anime to Movie Adaptations

Yes! Cowboy Bebop Movie... summer 2008? Why didn't I noticed it?

This is the first part of my 2 part Post Special!

The above picture is just product of Photoshop and good imagination. Looks like many animes today starting to gain popularity for big screen adaptations. Dragon Ball Movie will be out soon in most of the cinema worldwide. Ghost in The Shell, Blood The Last Vampire, Cowboy Bebop are some of the titles rumored to be also out *I can't check the updates as I'm writing these post but I knew Blood production is already finish and maybe out for next year. Korean actress Jyun Ji Hyun a.k.a. Gianna Jun portrays the role of Saya.*. Don't worry I will not tackle them, I know millions done it already. Albeit I don't know and I don't care much how this will turn out (the anime-movie thing) and since most of considered animes have proven themselves already to me and I say worth the time I'd spend watching them, maybe I care a little just for my reference sake *Like for example I can say that Blood movie suck in the future if ever.* I just wanna ask, Do you like the idea of Big movie productions (e.g. Warners) considering Mech oriented animes (Gundam Series) to have hollywood remake? If Transformers pull this one off, how come not the Japanese robots? You might find these amusing.

Saya: Aha! I got a sword. ~pout~ *The plot is simply: Run,, slash, then run.again.*

If ever given a chance to induce some hollywood minds ~ Code Geass will be my bet. ~These is a no brainer for me as I'm starting to become a Code Geass Retard now. In my next post I will give my Hollywood casting *Really love to do it anyway.* for the Code Geass~Lelouch of The Rebellion Hollywood version. I'm thinking really hard as to where to place Mr. Danny Trejo.
