I heard Kyuuso wa Cheese no Yume wo Miru and wow! I enjoyed it. I gotta admit that I didn't really like the background music tho. It was kind of annoying after awhile and kind of cheesy. XD;
Yusa Koji performed Imagasei's part really really really well. IMO, his emphasis on certain words and tone was just right. :3 At first, I feared that Yusa Koji wouldn't be able to do Imagasei, thinking that Kamiya Hiroshi was probably a better choice for Imagasei's cold(?) personality, but now that I've heard the drama cd, I'm sooooo glad Yusa Koji got the part. *_________* Initially I guessed right for the seiyuu, but since both of them do reversable roles well, I didn't know who was going to be who. hahaha
Well, they interpreted the characters quite close to my own interpretation so I liked the adaptation. :3 However, I thought Ootomo was going to be more angsty, but Nakamura chose to elaborate more on Ootomo's fickleness and kindness. This changes my perception of the character a little bit, making me feel more sympathetic towards him than I normally do. ^^;
I was a bit surprised by the seiyuu who did the female senpai tho. She was NOT like how I'd expected her to sound like. She was way too huuussskky for me. XD;
Other than that, the drama CD was quite good. ^^
Speaking of drama CD, for February's best, I'd pick Kotonoha no Hana. I really enjoy this one! There were moments when I just wanted to smack our uke, but hey, I liked the story and the characters a lot. The cast were Kamiya Hiroshi (uke character) and Ono Daisuke (seme character). Ono Daisuke was HOT and cute in this one! Kyaa, his character was just sooo adorable~ <3 I'm loving this new voice of his. :3 His old voice, the one that he did lots of uke roles in, reminded me of a less nasalish Hikaru Midorikawa which I like. I love this new one too cuz it sounds like a combo of Hatano Wataru and Toriumi Kousuke. Just adding those two in one voice is pure hotness already~ *____*
For March, I love the lineup. There are loads of my favorite seiyuus in the casting like Hatano Wataru, Kuroda Takaya, Nakamura Yuichi, more Ono Daisuke goodness and Yonaga Tsubasa. :3 The one I eagerly look forward to is Heart Strings. Personally, I didn't expect Yusa Koji to voice our uke cuz I think he sounds a bit too mature for a 20 year host. I was hoping that a younger seiyuu would have voiced him like Toriumi Kousuke or SuzuKen but I guess I'll see how Yusa will do. *still skeptical* Kuroda Takaya as the seme is fitting tho. :3
And April, OMG, APRIL! There are several series I anticipate but the numbr one is Ze! *___________* I was disappointed that Konitan didn't get cast as Moriya, instead Koyasu Takehito got casted. Maybe Moriya's role isn't to Konitan's liking? XD; Well, whatever the case may be, I think Koyasu Takehito is still fitting. I dont think I've heard this pairing before, so I'm really excited! ^__________^
Okay, I think that's enough rambling about BL dramas for today so I'll stop. ^_^;
It's just one more day until Setona Mizushiro's BL (?) manga, Kyuuso wa Cheese no Yume wo Miru is out in CD drama format. The seiyuu are Yusa Koji x Yuichi Nakamura. I'm so excited! Kyuuso wa Cheese no Yume wo Miru is one of my all time favorite BL? manga. From the official page of Setona's, there seems to be a sequel to this series, but I'm not sure. If so then I just hope that it doesn't turn sour...that's the feeling I'm getting with After School Nightmare. For example, book 9's artwork really disappointed me and some of the themes become cliche (incest anyone? -_-) She started off so well in the beginning of After School Nightmare, but it looks like stress is really kicking in. Well, I'll see if I change my mind about this series when I read the final book.
Ah, one more day and this day's already half-way over~ :3 (yikes, I gotta start cramming ASAP. I have a midterm in like 3 hours O_O )
I'll probably be like this when Junjou Romantica airs too. haha~
He's using a NS Dollshe body. It's not perfect, but doable. The colors slightly off tho... DS's paler and pinker than Leeke's. I thought Leeke's was pretty pink compared to my other boys, but no, DS makes Leeke look peachy. XD; I had to dissembled the body too cuz the DS neck part wouldn't go thru Jerome's neckhole. I couldn't find S-hooks, so I left the parts and bits on floor. ^^; I'll look for it and I'll put the body together tomorrow morning when I have energy. Ugh, it's going to be painful. T_T
Also, I noticed that DS's hands are very similar to Latidolls! *_____________* these two company nake the most gorgeous hands I've ever seen. <3
I've been reading BL mangas in Japanese. I'm starting to see familiar kanji characters so it's starting to become easier to read. ^^ BL manga is SO much easier than shojo too! There isn't that much slang and ironically, kanji makes it a lot easier to read. Plot's pretty easy to follow too. :)
So far, I like a lot of Suzuki Tsuta's work. I really like "3 gen no tonari" by her (I think that's what it's called). I thought I'd like Akareba, but I found that I didn't. ( random: I know that the drama cd is coming out in January and Hatano's in it <3 I dont know which pairing he's doing tho. I mean, he could voice all 3 couple! XD; But I think the character he'll voice isn't really the main pairing. It's probably the guy on the cover. What a pity! I was really looking forward to hearing him talk more. ahaha ) Anyways~ Suzuki Tsuta's style is quite clean...and reminiscent of the PoT doujinshis that my sister has shown me. XD; The possibilty of her being a doujinshika is quite high too. :P
I also got around to reading Sono Yubi ga Dake Shitteru, G Senjou no Neko and Tsumasaki ni Kiss. I've got to admit I heard Sakurai voice in Sono Yubi ga Dake Shitteru as I read. I couldn't really imagine SuzuKen, so when I heard the drama CD, I was surprised that it fit! XD; I'll listen to the remaining ones later. ^o^ It looks like the Yubi series ends at book 4 too. My Japanese level's not that advanced, so I haven't peruse the novels yet. ^^; I'll listen to the dramas to follow up on their relationship.
For G Senjou no Neko, I read books 1-2 in English and book 3 in Japanese. The transition from English to Japanese was weird...Anyway, I've tried to listen to this drama CD during the summer, but I wasn't in the mood to hear such a serious story so it's been ignored. Now that I've read the story, I'm going to go and listen to the drama cd again. Is it done at 3 cds too? I guess I'll have to google it...
And I read Tsumasaki ni Kiss because people have recommended the drama cd. Well I *think* I heard it during my Okawa Tohru phase, but I'm not too sure. If I can't remember the plot then maybe I didn't. ^^; I read volume 1 and 2 in English cuz that's all I could find, so I can't say for sure how well the seiyuu enacted the characters. I also read Gravity Eyes, which follows up the Tsumasaki's universe/series. I read vol 1 in Japanese plus 2 recent chapters. Ah, the suspense is killing me! She sure knows how to keep people hanging... XD; I prefer the pairing in Gravity Eyes <3 I think it'll end in 2 volumes too...Maybe there will be another follow up to Gravity Eyes because of the tenchou? XD; I guess I'll see.
Eh, this was just random rambling...I'm not sure if it's even coherent. XD;
As requested, here are some pix of ma pretti bois <3
Here's Laurence (Leeke L Eiden). He so beautiful and underrepresented. There needs to be more Leeke L love! He's currently borrowing Touji's body, like all my floating heads. Touji's quite peeved about that. ^^;
Deadlock: The drama cd was..okay, I guess. The plot was kind of..awkward at times, but I gotta say, I love all the seiyuu. I thought they were really good! Or maybe I'm bias cuz I like Chad from Bleach? hahaha I finally got around and bought all 3 books for the series. I haven't gotten around to reading the series yet, but to think that I could read it now. ;_________; *happy with tears of joy* It's still intimidating seeing that my kanji skills is really poor. -_-; Atleast, I can understand it now. Before I wasn't able to cuz my Japanese skills were so limited, but now, I feel a lot more confident. I still need to practice speaking tho. ^^; I look forward to Deadheat! <3
On a similar BL drama note, I guess out of all the BL I've heard since August, Hitsugi no Synapse I is the best cd I've heard so far. I can't wait until part 2 comes out this month. <3
Onto Junjou Romantica..omg, it's going to be an anime TV series. TV SERIES!!!!! *____________* Not an OVA like most yaoi anime, but TV!!! Omg, I'm just jumping with joy! The official site has little content but features all three couple: Romantica, Egoist and Terrorist, so it looks like the anime will cover pretty far in the series. Cast has not been announced tho. I think there will be a change in cast, judging from this one blog that I read. I dont know who it'll be, but if it's Mizuki (? gosh, it's been so long I can't even his name *ashamed* ), I'd be totally crushed. But whoever they cast, I'm sure they'll do fine. *hopeshopes* I'd love to read more details, but I dont have the issue that the anime announcement was in. :( Oh well.... I look forward to the anime. ^___________^ And book 9 comes out too. This month, I think...I'm not too sure. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten enough money to buy all the books so far, but I'll need to soon. It'll be quite pricey when the series is complete and auctioned off as a complete set. Okay, I'll work harder! ^^;
Aside from BL, I went back to my kpop mode after Big Bang released their mini-album 'Always'. I love their song "Always" from it. I've been playing it repetitively for weeks now and so my sisters are sick of it. hahaha I guess I'm one of those type that don't get sick of something so easily. I guess it's comforting for me to hear a song that puts me in a good mood over and over. ^^; The exciting news is that Big Bang will be releasing a Japanese album in January. I can't wait to hear it! I'm excited because then I'll understand them. Unfortunately, I dont know korean so whenever I see clips and variety shows with no subs, it pains me. I tend to find Korean variety shows funnier than Japanese so I want to laugh along with them too. And I can't wait to see and hear them talk in Japanese too! :D I hope it's better than Se7en...Se7en has this English accent when he speaks Japanese and it bothers me that he doesn't try hard to sound good in Japanese, but in English... ^^; Well Big Bang's 2nd mini-album comes out this month. Wow, so many good things are coming out this month!
And just because I dont get sick of Big Bang's Always, here's the music video. hahaha~
On a different note, I need to change my LJ layout. I'm getting sick of Jay Chou...I think I'll put Big Bang in his place. ^^
OMG ZE VOLULME 5 IS COMING OUT THIS MONTH! *________________________*
Oh~ I can't wait! I love the new pairings. SO SEXY AND HOT OMG
I have chinese scans of the recents chapters, but I can't read Chinese!!! Is there anybody here who can read Chinese and give me a summary with what's going on? If not, then I'll just be patient and wait until volume 5 comes out and buy it...but still, I love the couple so far. aaaaahhhhhh, the seme is SO HOT HOT HOT AND SEXY but I have no idea what they're saying. My kanji knowledge is way too elementary :( *sigh*
Come out soon volume 5 so I can read you~ XD I guess I'll re-read Ze volumes 1-4 as I wait. ^^
Current hobby: BJD :D I can't wait until summer break comes so I can make clothes for by dollies~ ^^
Here's a picture of my Iplehouse Soo Ri. Official images here.
So this doll's a guy. I know his faceup's girly (he looks really red in dim lights), but blushing was just too fun. XD; *regrets it cuz he takes poor pictures XD*
You are the lowest level seme. A true gentlemen, don't even think of approaching the Badass Uke unless you want your ass kicked. You're safest sticking with a partner who is gentle and can appreciate your mature, loving ways and protective nature. Most often found with a handful of roses and wine, you are committed to your partner and their happiness, which makes you a perfect match for the Innocent Uke. Now you can get pins of your result here.
Somehow I'm flunking Japanese despite my hard efforts. >_> Anyone willing to help me get better at writing and reading Japanese? Supposedly I'm at the third year level, but I feel as if I'm still a second year. Ah well, screw it. -_-;
On another note, I'm currently digging BJD stuff. I will save money up for one. :3
Omg the writer for Calasen made a music video for Scene 1, ACT 1~ *____________* Ah, I think it's such a great teaser!!! (And I'm really embarrased that he used my incomplete sketches, but he incorporated them well!!!)
And so..the stuff from amazon came in this morning. The package was opened and torn, but the goods were still in tack. That was pretty disappointing seeing that I'd pay 4500 yen for it. (more than the goods itself!) -_-;; Dunno if I want to buy from them again... XD;
Anyways... I scanned the images for your viewing pleasure: :D
I've lost track of the visual rock stuff. XD;; But as always, they're such eye candy. *_*
This is my first time buying this magazine. I like it because unlike Shoxx, the magazine is mostly in FULL COLOR. *_* I wasn't paying attention to the cover, so when I opened it, I didn't realize that there was a DBSK interview!!!!! I think I'll buy more of this magazine from now on because it includes pop music. ^^
I like Reiko Shimizu's color stuff. <3 I havent read the stories in here yet, just flipped thru. Seems like stories that are historically based/set.
I really like the illustrator for the "S" drama cd, so I wanted to see their manga work which is why I bought this anthology. The page amount is relatively small compared to Chara. It's more along the line of BeBoy Phoenix. Craft had interesting artwork which varied from artist to artist.
Dear+ runs Ze!!!!!!!!!!! Omg I LOVE that series. *_______* ( I'm going to set aside money to buy that series from now on ) Okay, I know it said so on the cover, but most of the time, I dont look at the author/series. XD; Anyways, I flipped thru the pages. Overall artwork is so-so, but I look forward to the story/plot! :D For Gush, it was really thick! Which is good... cuz I'm an anthology whore. XD;; Anyways, I was surprised Miki Araya's latest stuff in it. I love her work, they're HILARIOUS!!! Not to mention, I like her weird semes. :D Seems like I will be ording more Gush anthologies in the future~ hohoho
I changed my layout to Jay Chou. Most of the pictures, I got from his November Chopin cd. I really like that album. I also bought Still Fantasy from him, but the music was not really to my taste. It was more jazzy and I'm not fond of jazz. ^^;
Anyways, my goodies came in from jpqueen. They were Chara anthologies (November and December issue), 2 Gensou Suikoden (?) doujinshi, 1 D-grayman doujinshi and Ice Cold demon's tale artbook. I was kind of disappointed that the artbook was so small! XD; Most of the wonderful images were slaughtered by the binding. -_-; I liked all the doujinshis tho. I regret not buying the rest of the Gensou Suikoden ones because it was by one person and it looks like she did a series, spanning 5 (?) books. I bought the first 2. Book 2 seems like a cliffhanger..what a place to stop. XD;; I dont think the doujinshis will pop up again. ^^; Oh well, I guess having something is better than nothing.
Now, I'm awaiting my stuff from amazon.co.jp. They're kind of slow compared to jpqueen. ^^;; The stuff should arrive here today. I hope it does *crosses fingers* The thing that makes me sad about amazon.co.jp is that some of the sellers/merchants dont ship internationally. It makes me weep when I see rare goodies that are only offer thru their merchants. ;_; For example, I wanted Asuka Ciel, (December issue with Kurosagi-sensei's art), but I couldn't get it. And I wanted the Ruby anthology too. I had it on my wish-list, but now it's gone and only the merchants are selling it. I'm going to keep my eyes out on those two anthologies now.
Hm..maybe I should go and check the mail? yes yes yes I shall. :D
You're most like Lilah!You're sexy and energetic and when you want something you don't give up till you get it. Fight-o! Don't ever change. Take this quiz!
I'll have to admit that I'm not far in this story at all. ( I really want to do a doujinshi for Sanzen, as well as other series. lets see if I get there. -_-;; ) I have waaay too much things to do and not enough time to do them all. -_-; I really need to learn how to manage my time.
Anyways, I feel damn proud of two pages that I did for a comic improv.
( See the pages ) [edit] I just realized that all I ever did here was mope around. DAMN! I'M GOING TO BE POSITIVE FROM HERE ONWARDS and PRODUCTIVE.
I think I had this dream because I was listening to Cathedral 2 the other day and I ate pizza last night. XD;
In my dream, Narita Ken was directing this tv show (probably a soap of some kind) and the main characters in Cathdral 2 were the main actors. And supposedly there was a party where the crew brought in pizzas and the actors ate it because they like pizza, but Narita was really irritated. Then some days passed and the main actors recieved a slice of pizza (only without the cheese and toppings. it was thin crusted and oily...looked really disgusting XD; ) and the actors threw it out. When Narita Ken heard about it, he was really upset and hurt because he had tried his best to make and because he didn't like pizza that much, he made it according to his taste. When he told the actors that it was he who sent it, they laughed and apologized and said they'll eat the next one but he said that there won't be a next time. I woke up after that. But what a weird dream! it probably makes no sense... ^^;;
anyway, I'm done with summer school!!! So I have a week of rest before Fall Quarter begins. In that week, I have to finish up Calasen, pictures and review my Japanese. I think today is the only I'll be able to rest peacefully and I'll take advantage of that and go shopping. XD Well, I'll see how it goes. :)
There needs to be sites that are dedicated to original art ONLY and fanarts ONLY. I dont like it when fanarts gets dumped onto art sites.
Fanart of popular and overrated series disencourages me a great deal. It makes me feel unwelcome and unwanted. And it makes me want to leave. Why? Because people wanna look at that stuff more than the stuff I create (or other original artists create). I create stuff for a reason, not just out of my own interest. I believe there's more to just a pretty picture. There's a purpose...and if there's not, well then screw that artist's ego.
I do draw fanart tho, so don't get me wrong. I just dont draw it all the time like some crazy fangirl. I can understand that it brings interests together, but that's just it. When you fangirl so much, how can you mature as an artist? I dont think you necessarily do. Like a toy, you lose interest and it dies away. Well, that's how I see it.
Blah, whatever... just releasing steam. Well, I'm off to class.
You just wont be able to comment. But please tell me what you thought of it! And I'm no pro or anything but I put a lot of effort into drawing it... Please enjoy! ^^
I love shoujo stories...I forget how good they are after reading so much BL and shounen. ^_^;;
I just read Vampire Knight volume 1-3 yesterday in one-setting. (And before this, I read vol 1-2 of Sanzen, which isn't shoujo or a comic, but I haven't read anything in a while, so it was good. Unfortunately, I got addicted to Sanzen. I said that I'll read only 2 chapters and I ended up reading volumes. XD;;)
And there's Gakuen Alice, Koukou Debut and many other shoujo stories that I would like to read. I mean shoujo stories are sooo inspiring to me. It's a feeling that the shounen and BL stories usually dont give me. ^^ okay, I'll make a list for the summer. ^^
For this journal tho, I"ll just rant about anime/manga. ^^
So here's the rant: I watched Blood+ episode 1-31 last week and omg, I dislike Kai. ~_~ It's his fault that his younger brother had to die! >_> Well, I can't wait to see the next episode. Supposedly, a year passes or so. Will that make a difference?
Anyway, Solomon really captures my attention. Dude this guy is mysterious. What are is real motivation??? Hm... Now I think I should check out the manga...yes yes... I've become a Blood+ fan. XD;
Yesterday I should have been doing something productive, but I ended up coloring an old Castlevania lineart from last year. I did it while I was trying to get some BL dramas. (I didnt get a chance to get all the new ones since my browser magically disappeared on me >_> I hope there are some good BL dramas out this month. ) ( Doodles ) Okay, I have to do homework and study. ~_~
Yesterday, I went to a Japanese discussion consisting mostly of tutors with my friend. It was a good experience, but I learned that I'm really bad at constructing sentences! XD Now that I plan to talk to them every week, I feel inclined to study harder because then I can see if the work pays off. :D I never thought of it this way before being the lazy bum that I am... XD;
Well, gotta go shower and do some studying. Until then~! :D
Okay, I'm bad with English, so I need to improve. In other words, I have to write more. ^^; So I will be writing in this journal more often. I'm a lazy person, but starting now, I need to start working hard... I'll also try to read more and expand my vocabulary too. XD
Putting that aside, yesterday, I was working on my coloring tutorial and I realized that it will take awhile to complete it. I've started an incomplete sketch but I think that once I finish the drawing, the color process will be long. I can already see it... O_O
Well, I kind of feel bad doing one because someone had asked me before. However, they didn't seem appreciative of my time and effort so I stopped before I made the tutorial. But this time, I making it for more than one person so I will be putting a lot of effort into it. I hope that people will benefit from the tutorial.
Speaking of art, is drawing anime-style (not fanart) consider original? I looked at y!gallery announcements today and a lot of original artists that users pointed out were HEAVILY influenced by anime style. If so, to a non-anime person, wouldn't it still look like fanarts? XD; I have high standards when it comes to originality. It seems to me that people just like looking at anime art, not necessarily original art. Personally, I get bored of looking at anime-art. I guess people have their own preferences...
Okay, I gotta go shower and write a response for my Japanese Films class. XD Until then~
Well here's an incomplete artwork that I'm trying to finish (along with other things XD).
As of now: ( I didn't like how it looked like before so I re-color it. )
Before:
I think this is Yazoo. I really like his voice in the movie. So hot! ^^
And wow, I'm surprise at myself because I improved in coloring. As an intermediate artist, it's hard to see improvements and sometimes that can be disencouraging. Well, I'm still learning. :D
I caught up on the manga Bleach. :D It's been 10 months or since I've last read it, but I'm glad I waited for the chapters to accumulate so I could read them in one setting. XD
Anyway, chapter 217 was a cliffhanger! (aren't they all? XD) But all the twists were so...weird! It kind of left me dumbfounded, but I like the twist. I'm glad the story was still funny despite the situation. And I like the new yakuza-looking Aizen! Totally hot. :9 But the newest character that I like is Shinji~ So I drew a little sketch of him. <3 Altho I dont remember his colors or his uniform so colors could be off... ^^;
I finally got around to watching KARAS and OMG, I love it! *_* I can't wait for the next 3 episodes to come out. <3
And I drew a little fanart (instead of doing my homework. XD;) At first it was from memory (He looks too much like Albert from Gankutsuoh, doesn't he? ^^;) , but I had to look up how to spell his name (I dont think I did it right..oh well ^^;) and realized that he looked much different from what I remember. (Ah my poor memory! XD;;) So I tweaked the image a bit. :P
Well, it's Otoha~ I drew him cuz I like his seiyuu~ (sadly, I forgot his name tho) He's actually an actor, but I'd love to see him go into the seiyuu industry~ :D
OMG, I just finished watching this serie and oooooooooooo!!!!!~! I want to see fandom for it!!!!!!!
There's like so many things I want to talk about concerning this series but no one to share them with. How sad. >_>;;; Oh well, I must go and make some djs outta of this series... Or I must check out the novels....I can't get enough of it, even tho it has ended!!!! I want moree!!!!!!! ;_;
Well, I didnt get any thing done. ~_~ Oh well, I'll have to work something out this week.
And I changed layout and avatar to Kada Michiko's work from the manga series "Yami no Kodou". This series is written by Yoshihara Reiko. I really like Kada-sensei's artwork because of its creepiness and fluidity. Anyways, I haven't really read this story, but from skimming through it, the story looks pretty interesting! ^^
Last Saturday I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). Last month I set shiroro's puppy on fire (-66 points). In January I punched coomasieblue in the arm (-10 points). Last Tuesday I bought porn for evilsensei (10 points). In September on a flight to Bangladesh, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points).
Overall, I've been naughty (-114 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich!
Well...my computer wont turn on. :( There goes Hana Yori Dango (the drama) and Black Cat. I wont be able to hear Train's sexy voice any more! ;___________;
And I wont be able to work on my BL comic, "Unlucky". I kept delaying it due to unfortunate events, but I didnt think it'd turn out this bad! Well a lot of people were anticipating new pages, but unfortunately, it'll come later...much later... *sigh*
I'll just stick to BL dramas since that's all I can really do with this mac laptop. I'll also be working on gifts. I want to send them out to ppl this year. ^_^ So I guess the temporarily computer failure to turn on has some advantages. :-/ I'll be more focus on school too...
*sigh* Oh well... I guess I better get going. I have a lot to do in December. :(
I guess most people will be at school by this time, but I dont start until the 29th of September, so I still have time to catch up on all the animes I've download. Um...~25 more titles to see XD;;
And to top it off, I'm doing a short (who knows how short it'll be at the rate I'm plotting -_-;;) online comic shounen-ai story called 'Unlucky'. This isn't the shounen-ai story I want to do initially, but since this was done for Hochuuami's DJ contest, I plan to continue it and finish it. Lets just see where this story leads me. xD And I hope to get the whole script done before I go to school, so all I have to do is illustrate. If anyone's interested, the story can be found here: http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/club/81/
(*sigh* the pages are really bad... cuz I crammed to get it done. I guess 4 pages (pencil, ink and CG) in one day is my new record. XD; Well, now I know what to fix when I do the next pages... XD) And since I was so busy yesterday, I missed to update. I shall be doing that tonight. >_>;;;
*goes off to do her comic*
PS - I gotta finish up my Mirage of Blaze doujinshi too. Since I just re-watched the series, the ideas should still be fresh in my mind. :D So much to do...so much to do...
I wasn't able to buy Harry Potter book 6 when it got released since I was away on a family trip, but I bought the book the day after. I havent read it yet because my sister/s is/are currently reading it so I'm queued in line. ^^; I'm in the process of re-reading the 5th book tho. But from what I've read on the 6th book's flap, I can't wait until my turn!
Anyway, I hope people are enjoying their summer. ^^ As for me, I'm just catching up on anime/manga. I need to do requests too, so I'll get going to do that. XD; People must think that I have forgotten their requests XD;;; Well off I go~
Call me crazy, but I FINALLY CAUGHT UP to the anime Bleach and Yakitate (well caught up to the fansub releases ^^; ) in TWO DAYS. XD Yes, I went from episode 26-35 for Bleach and episode 10-29 for Yakitate in two days. Oh, I'm crazy like that, yes. Very crazy. @_@ (with the help of Starbucks double-coffee drink, which I really regret because now my head hurts. ~_~)
Well I should have caught up with Bleach a lot earlier, but after watching the korean movie, Taegaki (?) or Two Brothers, that aired at my school, I felt really sick watching people kill each other. I know that Bleach is just an animation, but episode 25 was where Ichigo was fighting with Ichikura (?) and it's where all the fighting begins. I just didn't feel like watching a bunch of anime characters kill eachother off. You'll understand if you watch Taeguki. Anyway, my sister told me that at the end of the episodes, they show the Shinnigami captains. I'm glad she told me ahead of time cuz I usually skip them. XD; Well it was cool watching the different groups and their leader. I really like the 12th one. XD I look forward to watching more! :D (and hopefully catch up with the manga when i go back home)
As for Yakitate, I'm glad it got more interesting. (i've read the manga, and I'm a bit ahead of the anime...) But when I first saw the anime, it wasn't as funny as the manga. As I watched, it got better, in terms of humor. ^_^ And omg, the second ending, I cracked up!!!! That's so hilarious! Afro-Ken... :P [edit] OMG, Ken's seiyuu is the same as Abel from Trinity Blood! O________________O (it's not tres, my bad!) Now I'm going to go catch up on TB. XD I'll listen closely to Abel now. :D
On another note of edit, I AM DONE WITH FINALS! :D I dont think I did so well...but I'm just glad it's over. ^_^
Well I'm in a drama mode. :) First off, I'm not really familiar with japanese actors/actresses, so I don't know the actors name so you'll just have to excuse me. ^^;
Anyway, I saw Yasha episode 1 and 2 the other day. I liked it. I thought it was unrealistic but interesting. Yasha is based on a manga and from the 2 chapters that I read 4 years ago, the drama is different. But I think the directors stood to the main idea and the actor's really hot. Hideaki (?) Itou who plays the twins is quite talented! ^^ If I didn't know it was the same actor, I would have thought they were two people! Well I like his friend a lot. He's really cute. :D Although this movie aired in 2000, I think the quality's quite good. The props, on the other hand...you can tell that it's in 2000. ^^; Also, the genre of this drama is different from the romance/comedy drama that I'm used to seeing. It's suspense/mystery/action. :)I look forward to watching the rest of this series. ^_^
As for Koi ni Ochitara, I saw episode one today. From what I saw, the drama's about money. Well I really hate the corporate people cuz they're waaay to mean to our main character, Shimao Suzuki. (his name in kanji's quite interesting too..shima as in island and o as in otako...it fits his personality ^_^ ) I don't really like Koi ni Ochitara's theme of 'rags-to-riches' but I want to see Shimao become happy. (I also think he has a really cute voice! I was surprised to learn that he's a member of SMAP when the credits appeared at the end. <-- I'm not a SMAP fan, gomen! XD;; ) Therefore, I'll stick to the series (until I can't stand it any more XD;;). On another note, the story transition's weird... ^^;
Well, I wanted to watch Mukudono 2003 today too, but I'm too tired.
I guess I'll headed off to bed now. ONE MORE DAY OF SCHOOL LEFT! WOOPEE! :D (then it's time to study for finals... XD;; )
I took this off Shaorankun's journal entry. (Hm... I need to learn how to link appropriately XD;;)
Anyway, instead of reading, I do this. XD;;
1) Total number of books owned? I lost count in high school. XD
2) The last book I bought? I bought severals because they were required for my English class. XD;
3) The last book I read? Howards End by E.M Forster (I need to finish up Ender's Shadow... -_-;; and OMG HARRY POTTER!!!! :3 )
4) Five books that mean a lot to me? -Simon Says -The Silver Kiss (was that what it was called?)
Well, it looks like I couldn't think of 5 which is really sad. >_>;; I'll need to get a reading list for the summer.
5) Tag 5 people and have them fill this out on their LJs. I doubt people will have had time to read, so if anyone wants this, they can do it. ^_^ I thought it'd be fun to do because it's short. XD;;
Today was hot and I think the heat, along with my laptop made me feel queasy. Right after my last class ended at 6PM, I felt a rush of blood go up my head which gave me this feeling I usually get before my nose starts to bleed. Thankfully my nose didn't bleed, but the feeling meant that something's wrong with my body. :-/ Is it a lack of sleep? Hm...
Well enough about that, I forgot to mention yesterday that I saw Sousei no Aquarion ep 7 and I think that the brother will be a traitor! O_O It's apparant that the brother is a reincarnation of Princess Silvia's jewel (is that her name?). Cuz the jewel is suppose to reflect Solar Wing's fire, energy and grandness, right? So if the Silvia *thinks* that her brother is Solar Wing, it's not her fault because the jewel is a reflection of Solar Wing. I've never really like the brother because he was too self-centered and arrogant for my taste, but I'd love to see him go evil. :P (Then all the villains would be bishounens!) If this happens, the story's plot will move a bit faster and the past might reveal sooner too. ^_^ Cuz I really want to know the past. Especially the relation between Solar Wings and Toma! :3 Anyway, back to my point of the betrayl, I'm basing it off episode 7 when Toma goes something like, "there's a wingless one that understands us" or something like that. XD;;
Okay..I'm starting to feel my head do that rush again. >_>;; I think its best I get off now.
Well just a quickie since I'm really tired, but I saw Dolphin Bay today. It's a Taiwanese drama in which Ambrose (from Lavendar) stars in. I think Ambrose looks a lot better in here. He looks really smart and classy :3 whereas in Lavendar, he looked like a big flirt. ^^;
Only seeing 2 episodes (with really strange ending transition...) I like it. :) I want to get the rest of the series, but I need to burn stuff off before I do. I only have 2GB left but the episodes are 700mb for one. -_-; (And the subbing's terrible! I think my English was starting to get messed up while I read it. Not only that, but the text appeared only for second or so and since I'm not Chinese, the quickness of the subtitles really hurted my head. XD;;)
Well, the person who recommend me Dolphin Bay has mixed feelings toward it. (She loved Lavendar tho. I do too. ^^) I can see why, but I'm interested in our main character's goal. so I wanna see if she reaches it so I'll stick to it. ^^ <-- yeah, I'm crazy like that. XD;;
I hate it when I have all these ideas and when I finally have time to write them down, they don't come out at all. Is this a block? Or my bad memory? >_>
For example, I'm stuck trying to think of themes for Hochuuami's contest. My biggest problem would be the page limit because I don't know if I can fit it in 4 pages. I'm thinking of drawing as many stories as I can and select the ones I like best. The deadline's in July so I have plenty of time. ^^
Anyway, speaking of comics, I've decided to remake my current ones. I started these comics about 2-3 years ago. When I came to college with my new computer, it was hard trying to make the story look consistent with a new scanner and new photo-editing program. It also took up a lot of time adding in the tones. I think that if I remake it, I'd work faster and move the story along quickly (and I'd probably settle down on a concrete style ^^; ). I'd be happy to get it done and my readers would get to read the pages sooner. Cuz I feel really really guilty about prolonging the story so much (both of my stories only have ~20-30 pages and this is a span of 2-3 years -_-;;). I really want to finish up these stories too so I can start new ones. Right now, I have a shounen-ai story in mind that I really want to do, but I'm refraining myself from doing it cuz I feel that my older stories should have first priorities. Am i weird or what? -_-;;
I am tired!!! So I'll do this real quick then go to sleep then wake up and write my paper that's due at 9AM. ^^; <---procrastion is not good. >_>
Total volume of music files on my computer: 10.1 GB (O_O I didn't know that I had that much!)
The last CD I bought was: I bought a few: Brandy, "New Moon", 98 Degress, "Rising" and 3T <-- um, I dont remember the title of this CD. XD;;
Song playing right now: Oddly enough, I never listen to anything when I'm on LJ.. ^^; So no song is playing. XD;;
Five - ten songs I listen to a lot: My songs change according to mood..XD but here are the current favs and the old favs that my poor brain has come up with ^^; (current:) Loveless OP Loveless ED YUNA - Houkiboushi (Bleach) Fly to the Sky - Goodbye (old:) Marsdaybreak - ED Chrno Crusade - ED TV version Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway Natalie - Going Crazy
Ah... I currently have two friends. How sad! ;3; I added people, but I guess they're too busy to add me back. XD;
I'm sure they both have been tagged. XD;;;
Um...I guess this is it.. >_>;;
On a random note: I glimpsed thru the PoT musical. The two Ryoumas cannot sing. I'm thinking of muting them when their part comes. Yeah, I think it's that bad. XD;;; Also, I'm really surprise (arent I always? XD;; ) that the singers look a lot like the anime characters! *_* I've always like Kaido, so I'm really glad that his singer looked and sound like him! :D but overall, I can't help but laugh at the musical cuz it's just so silly. :P It's nicely done tho. I really like how they did the matches. Really, it's cleverly done ^^
Geegooglinglygoo...my head hurts. ~_~ I think should be able to say that in Japanese since that's what I'm currently learning. XD watashino atama ga itakute livejournal wo yomemasen. XD;; (is that correct? ah, just randomness ^^; ) sadly, 3 hours is really my max for surfing online. (watching anime on the other hand is something different. XD;;) Cuz I'm starting to feel my brain being drain.
Well speaking of anime, I saw quite a lot this week and last week.
Today, I watched episode 3 of He is my Master... The professionalism of seiyuus always amazes me. I can hear her Ritsuka in Nabuyaki (is that his name? I'm not good with names -_-;;) but both characters are so different! Well some can argue and say that they're both aggressive, but still very different. Personally I find He is my Master really funny but at the same time disturbing. ^^; What is the intended audience? Surely it can't just be for middle-schoolers. XD;;; If so I'm afraid to know what high school boys read/watch. >_>
As for Loveless... I can't believe it's episode 6. 6! Will nanatsuki ever reveal themselves? :( I'm soo curious about that organization and Soubi's sadist teacher! Please don't show up at the last episode! I hear it's only 13 episode. *hangs head low* So short! ;_; So far, it's really good. I think it's one of the best shounen-ai anime that I've seen. (Of course nothing beats GANKUTSUOH!!!!!!<-- this isn't really shounen-ai tho. ^^; ) In terms of art, plot and characters, Loveless is pretty good. (plot's lacking a bit but I still think it's good) I do not want to see more angst from Ritsuka tho. I was getting annoyed in this episode. I just wanted to see Soubi. *_* I really like what aarinfantasy and co did with the fansubbing. :D I think it's a big improvement from Sukisyo.
I also watched Weiss Kruez Gluhen episode 1. I really want to see the original tho, but I'm currently getting it right now so I'll have to watch it on the weekend. (500 more hours to go? it's not going to finish by this weekend, isn't it? ^^; ) Well the first episode of Gluhen really got me laughing. I know it isn't suppose to be, but I really couldn't help but laugh at the impossiblity and strangeness of the anime. :P
And I rewatched Gravitation and saw up to episode 11. Omg, I saw this like 5 years ago and rewatching it now, there were definitely things my pure mind didn't pick up then. (thankfully!) But I never realized that Yuki and Shuichi had sex that many times. O_o; When I first watched it, I was looking at the music aspect of it. This time around, I was looking at the relation between the two. It's a huge difference! This reminds me that I gotta go and re-watch some animes I've gotten in the past. XD (I will have to devote my summer for that ^^; )
Besides anime, today I've discovered a PoT musical! *_* I didn't even think it existed. I heard there was one for Inuyasha and XXXholic, but PoT, wow! I'm currently getting the PoT musical and I hope to see it soon. <3
*can smell her housemate's burned eggs* I hope I dont get ill from the smell. ~_~ I'm downstair where wireless internet works. Somehow it dont work upstairs. O_o I think it's the bad reception. I'm not used to the slowness of wireless tho. XD (or the limitation of this mac ^^; ) I gotta replace this mac too since the speakers are screwed up. >_>
What's with biotechnology themed animes? XD;; I think producers/directors have an interesting approach to the topic. XD At first I thought it was strange having humans (or human looking people) merge together...XD;;;
Anyway, I just saw episode 4 of Sousei no Aquarion and I always laugh when they unite. :P I find Silvia's reactions really funny. The theme of Eden/Paradise is quite lame... I thought of Gilgamesh, Wolf's Rain, Angel Sanctuary... along with some others. XD;;; And I dont like the characters either...Apollo's annoying and so is Silvia. I'm not fond of characters with complexes (ie brother complex/sister complex/shota complex/lolicon complex/father complex/mother complex) <-- in fact I find them annoying and irritating. >_>;; And I hope that Silvia looses her brother complex cuz its really annoying. Her brother's noy a guy worth admiring either, he's really conceited and has a superior attitude. -_-;; Yet, WHY am I watching this series ? XD;;;; I think it's Toma...that guy's hot. :P Why is he our antagonist ? Plus what's his relation to Solar Wing? <<<<<333333 (ah... I rewatched that second episode twice to hear him talk. XD ~ah love that seiyuu. It's amazing he talks for Sutengu in Speed Grapher... XD;; ) And I want to know what happened in the past so I guess curiosity will keep me glue to this series. XD;;
Erementar Gerad is ok but funny. Most of my anime collection are quite serious and dark, so I think this anime will help add some light to my collection. :P I really like the Senpai, she's really funny. ^_^ I'm not really fond of the plot...It doesnt seem that interesting.
And speaking of seiyuu doing multiple animes at the same time, I'm surprise that the seiyuu (sorry for no names cuz I'm not good with names. XD;; ) of Loveless is also in He is My Master. Both characters are different too! Wow. This makes me question, how long does it take do a recording for a series? I know that the seiryuu of Senta in Eyeshield 21 is also doing Syaron in Tsubasa Chronicle Reservoir. And they air roughly around the same time or they overlap each other too. XD;;
