Rosario + Vampire ep 3

January 29, 2008

I read a good deal of them manga and all I got to say is this anime has totally ruined the source material and I have no idea how the can not even make it to the 5th episode without having a filler episode I doubt I will watch this show any longer as the manga is much, much better. I might come back and watch as it hits a certain part in the plot as I am interested in seeing it animated(thats if they don’t decide to deviate from the story anymore).

Isignia KIX MP3 player

January 29, 2008

ok this is most likely going to be my only post for something like this but I figured I got such a good deal I couldn’t resist.  I normally do not listen to all that much music so I decided I would go buy myself a cheapo mp3 player because I wanted to use it to listen to something during philosophy.  I bought it for about 30$ at BestBuy it has 1 gigs of space which is about 10 times more space then I ever expect myself using for music.  Its nice and small came with headphones and the usb drive is built right into the player itself and charges off the computer leaving me with less cords to deal with then I want I highly approve of this if you do not listen to music much or just want a cheap mp3 player.

Thoughts on two high profile releases

January 27, 2008

As many people know before even reading my post about it Lucky star got licensed for a US release and Code Geass is going to air in the spring on Adult Swim.  One of these I feel will be accepted well while the other I fear will be accepted poorly and I have no idea what would possess a company to license it.

Minami-ke Okawari

January 26, 2008

While I don’t know anything about the series itself I believe that this season is deviating from the manga(if there is one). The animation seems to be higher budgeted then it was in the last season and it seems to be a little more fanservicy then the first season. So far after episodes it does still seem to be more of the same though.

Chibi vampire scans!

January 25, 2008

Nope don’t have any but it is surprising that I get about 30 or so hits a day from this one inquiry which is majority since I get like 40 a day. Just for clarification I will not give out links to scans even if I did have them and Chibi Vampire is a good series and do believe it warrants a purchase anyway!(something I don’t say to often) I would say try to see if a library in your area has manga to be taken out I know in the Milwaukee area here we have an online catalog and we can have them send stuff from different libraries to one closer to you. I recommend trying that I have read a few that way I was reading Bleach in this manner till I decided everything was too dragged out for me.

Dakimakura? (hug pillow)

January 25, 2008

Now not creepy in the sense that I think its disgusting but its not something I would go walking around talking about either! So I was wondering if anyone had an recommendations on which one to get as I looked just for a min and was completely floored with the many choices. I sometimes have trouble sleeping at night and my docter actually recommended I get something to grab onto at night for somekind of sleeping/backproblem I had been having when I wakeup he said it should keep my back in a better sleeping position and I won’t end up rolling out of my bed so much. (happens more than you would think I would say 1/3 times I go to sleep I wake up on the floor) Anyway since my doctor said I needed a large pillow or something Ifigured this would be a good time to exercise my weaboo side so anyone have any suggestions just send me message or leave a comment or whatever.

edit: fixed title darn spelling!

Flyff wtf?

January 25, 2008

Ok I have played quite a few mmorpgs in my day pretty much not limited to any one kind or type and all I got to say is how is this popular in the least? I was dragged into this by a friend of mine I had shied away from the game for several reasons one of them being I did not like the way it seemed when I just checked out the website and the graphical style in witch it was done.  Now lets see how it stacked up shall we?

Soul Nomad: And the World Eaters

January 23, 2008

All I got to say is the game is filled with awesome and win  I can not recommend this game enough except to those that dislike sprite graphics.  While it does sport dated Graphics(which I don’t really mind I prefer sprites in alot of games particularly if they are well done.)  It has an awesome combat system that focuses on tactics and placement rather then button mashing and things of that nature.  It is a strategy rpg which is one of my favorite kinds, but what makes the game Awesome is the story and Gig is by far my favorite video game character of the past collective year to January of 2007 not till like the first of January 2008.  Anyway not much I can really say about the game without giving too much away, if you have played Ogre battle” march of the dark queen or whatever it was titled or Ogre battle 64 the battle system is similar to that but movement is turn based instead of real time, one of the two problems I found with the game the other would be like pretty much all NIS RPGs before it, you can go through the game the right way and use tactics brains and planning or you can just go easy mode on it and make one super powered squad and pretty much annhilate the whole game, extra training of the group isn’t even necessary.  Other than that Game is good units are well balanced (till you beat the game anyway and unlock the pretty much unbeatable unit) I give it a 9.0 out of 10 which means if I ever did break my copy for whatever reason I would go out to buy another you will rarely ever see me rate anything of 8.5

Amazon.com recommends

January 23, 2008

One thing I did notice in my extravaganza is I really should have went through all my manga I have and marked how to rate them as it was I only rated stuff that I bought on Amazon.com before which was just the Chibi vampire series.  So apparantly this made amazon.com think I was a massive gothic/supernatural/vampire/monster fan which was not the case.

Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase Vol 1

January 23, 2008

Best one I got out of three.   I did watch the anime first so I got a generally gist of the story already in my mind but the manga has a few differences between the two nothing all that important more stylistic changes in the anime to make it more dramatic though from what I have read so far. Anyway this is my last one of my review trifecta with one coming later which is Puri Puri I ordered 4 at once but they only shipped 3 to me so far. review after the jump
