Sora o ….. Munto…

What seems to have happened after Kyoto Animation was rumored to be making 801-chan anime, and after lucky star alot of big-name figures left and did Kannagi, KyoAni decided it was time to make one of their earlier animes (before Air and Kanon 2006), the supposed trailer looked like the animation hasn’t been improves and not up to date, but it may have just been the original Munto trailer. Munto is the main character and is voiced by Ono Daisuke, but I haven’t read the synopsis thinking it would spoil it for me, since I do plan to watch it (haven’t seen the originals). Oh, and it’s called “Sora o Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai”.

And that’s it, their latest excuse to push Haruhi 2 until later on. It’s still TBA (To be announced).

December 20th; it’s my friend’s birthday today!

So basically, Fate|Unlimited Codes came out. It’s awesome, but some of the characters share some parallels with Melty BLooD characters, which can be sort of annoying if you catch my drift.

A week or so ago, I went to Uwajimiya, and there was a pastry labeled “kokutou” it was like a brown sugar wheat cake or something and I thought I would save it for watching garan no dou this weekend…. as in probably today.

Oh, and I finished an anime series; something that I haven’t in a very long time.

 

I built a snowman two days ago, but yesterday, I went there to check if it was still there, and it wasn’t…. kinda weird huh? I got the idea that rolling up a snowball to make a snowman would be fun from that Episode of Aria the Natural, where Alicia and ….. the main character… Akari rolled a snowball through a town, and everyone wanted to help out with the snowball as it got bigger.

But either I didn’t get it big enough, or it just doesn’t work like that, but in any case, it’s labor that’s pretty hard on the back after a while, perhaps get a friend. But it was fun though, sort of like katamari damancy, without a time limit, and the ability to pick out wacky stuffs.

Also, for my AP Environmental Sciences program, I’m gonna cheat, and put in that article where he ate whale and said that “Scientific whaling is delicious”.

PVC figurine arrived!

I’ve gotten my first ever PVC figurine today. It felt, great, and it looks better than I anticipated.

Here are some pictures of the packaging (eventually), and the pictures of the actual thing (along with me) taken using the cloudbook webcam.

 

 

Package pictures taken, but will take too long for me to post. Time to go to bed for now. So happy :3!

P.S.>It also has a sort of PVC version of a “new car smell”. Lol, I guess that’s why they keep coming back for more. Anyways, it’s awesome, great thing to have. I think it’s definitely worth the $80 price tag. The build quality itself is ike, just, wow….

Valkyria Chronicles… one of my lost grounds. Slevaria Bles was awesome btw.

The Good.

• My Parents are going to Thailand!!!
• I’ve gotten them to agree to visit Pirom Plaza in Mahadchai road for the purpose of going to Hobby Hour to pick up some PVC figurines, a wall calendar, and a Nendroid, and buy them for me. LUCKY!
• December 17-18 is going to be awesome!  And for the 20th, I will humiliate my friend by playing as a girly character whose special move is to pin the enemy down and clear slap across the fast 15 times. The animation is HILARIOUS!

The Ugly.

• I’m going to be frakking home alone for a month. Somebody save me. Dareka tasukete T_T. What if I wake up late? I’ll have to walk, or ride the bus to school. I need to frakking pay bills too.

The Bad.

• The fate|Stay night graphic novel which I donated to my school library has never appeared on the self… I’m serious, I’ve checked it every day. It’s just not there. I’ve also checked the database a couple of times, to find it not there either. Was it the librarian’s fault? Have they confiscated a rated T+ material when the presence of pure nudity of the female breast of my beloved Rei Ayanami was present in the form of Neon Genesis Evangelion volume 3? I have no idea. If it was lost I shall laugh it off.
• I was amazed to learn of another person in my school who is also anxiously awaiting persona 4. Has heshe played P3FES? Pre-ordered Persona 4 for the art-book and soundtrack that comes with it? Not feeling awkwardness due to the male oriented dating-sim feel? These I do not know.

Learned: I don’t take psychology, but I get a sort of stressed feeling, when I found out that someone else possibly plays/played Persona 3 (I haven’t even finished “The Journey” part of FES yet… And so stress from situations like this accumulate from many times, since this isn’t the first time it has happened. I’m not good with words, but it seems that when a person such as me, I’m not sure of the circumstances that those may imply, begins to dig in to a certain niche that no one else is aware of. He seeks to share those experience. However, it is the need to be a medium that is the cause, when other people delve into the niche for themselves, be it… the Persona series, Fate|Stay night, or whatever, they are no longer a medium, and slowly start to lose interest in the said object. This does not happen over great distances of course, for I have realized that people of great distances posting online do not activate this stress. The stress is only realized when someone close to the person, perhaps even in daily contact, although that be not the case, would do the delving and relieve the person in question of his medium duties, this causing the person to feel: left out; not needed; not special; reserved, and keeping to self, or introverted. But in order to preserve the duty, the sense of being. The power to live on, the person tries to find a more permanent niche, which in my case is KnK. This niche of mine has not yet been touched by those around me. I try my very hardest in order to keep this from being dirtied, scarred, kept top secret, for some of my friends read this blog, and I do not want them to know.

^The above pretty much expresses the anxiety that I’m feeling right now. I’ll try not to lose interest in Persona 3/4 though, because since I go with the Undubbed/Original Japanese voice acting, I have a claim, and with this, I can feel good about myself and not submit to this anxiety that’s caused by the feeling of not being unique. The processed under learned in the above has happened to many things, let me just list a few of them.

1. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya [TMoHS]
2. Code Geass [CG]
3. Senjou no Valkyria [Valkyria Chronicles]
4. Fate|Stay Night [FSN] (This is popular so I don’t really mind)
5. Tohou Project (the person who learned of it wasn’t as into it as I was, I’m more of an advocate for the fan stuffs more than the original game, although I do enjoy the occasional “Shoot the Bullet”.
6. Okami
7. Arcana Heart (Seen others play it at Pax, I thought I was the only one, but the azn guy dressed up as a dark mage seemed pretty cool)
8. Melty Blood [MBAC] (Guy at sakuracon dressed up at Tohno Shiki w/o Neco-arc doll strapped on to his cos… nice, I was dressed up as Riesbyfe Stridberg) Anyways, this was awesome, and I didn’t really mind. I wish I got his e-mail or something though, since I really wanted to play him.

I’ll add onto that list if I think of anymore.

I guess…. Ignorance is bliss... just like what my Thai name translates to in Sanskrit…. BLiss…

Valkyria Chronicles Game to Get TV Anime Next Spring

!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-11-12/valkyria-chronicles-game-to-get-tv-anime-next-spring

IT DESERVES AN ANIME! I’m not kidding, even though I don’t have the game (It’s out now for the Playstation 2), judging from the gameplay trailers and the tutorial videos, and from the demo that I saw and played at PAX, Valkyria Chronicles, In my Humble Opinion, is the greatest game ever. It uses this clever thing called the “BLiTZ” ( Battle of Live Tactical Zones) -wiki, and the “Canvas” graphics engine (Basically Watercolor + Anime; it looks awesome; ) -PAX Pamplet. From the trailers I’ve seen the story line looks considerably good, it’s what you’d expect in an anime.

Basically BLiTZ is, is its a clever blend of Third-person shooter, Turn-based Strategy, RPG, and Real-time strategy. It leans towards the strategy portion, though, since you can’t really expect a first person shooter from just a “aim at the head and shoot” sorta thing. Here’s a (couple) screenshots [Taken from the Military Training II from the official Japanese Website for the game]:

Here’s what the command screen looks like.

Snipers, are hard to hit where you want, unless you get the status power up.

Scouts are awesome IMO

There’s 6 classes (excluding the tank): Scout, Infantry, Anti-tank, Engineer, Sniper, and Shocktrooper (Assault/Front-line Infantry). You start out with a certain number of command points, in a turn, you pick a character and then manuever him/her around (uses up bar) and then take a shot, heal, or repair (engies only). Most missions consist of capturing command points and stuff, and it’s all tactical, a great relief from the normal gears of war, or the call of duty games that are getting old. Each of the characters have a distinct personality, which really adds to the game’s sense, you’re not commanding generic faceless troopers, that’s the enemy’s job. One of the main ones I’ve grown to like is an engineer named Herbert, who’s always flexing his arm sockets, and complaining that he’s tired. Although the scene where you call in the medic (and she runs in) automatically gets kinda annoying, even though she says different stuff each time.

Demonstration:

Herbert: “Hey medic… you’ll help… right?”

Medic: “I’m on my way, hang in there!”

-or-

Herbert: “Maybe I should get a medic in here…”

Medic: “You’ll be alright, that’s a promise!”

Marina Inoue did the voice for Alicia in the Japanese version, If she would do her voice for the Anime, then I’m all eyes (and ears) for it.

Oh and for the anime, whaddaya know, Aniplex has it covered. AWESOME!
Anyways, look forward to the Spring season. I really…. really… want a PS3, now, just for one game… THAT.

Persona 4 Trailer (AtlusUSA)

Gamespot calls it “the last great JRPG franchise”, but I’m like “What about Valkyria Chronicles?” Ok, well I wasn’t really, I just know Valkyria is going to be good, but don’t really have a PS3. Anyways I’ll be getting it, once it comes out… scratch that, after I finish Persona 3 FES. We actually get to see what’s on the media in this one (from the looks of it)

Blog Popularity Assessment Two

We’re obviously talking Guilty Gear here.

I guess I’m also interested in what character your main is? This Dizzy thing is just for common ground.
