Nagisa: "Why did the anime adaption end up so horrible?" ;_;
*watches last ep of Clannad*
............. wtf?
*falls to knees*
Why KyoAni? Why have you forsaken us!! ;_;
We expect this sort of shit from Gonzo, not you KyoAni! ;_;
and I am going to cry if the Toei version is better, since Toei sucks.

EDIT:
well, I found this comment on another anime blog post and it give me some hope that maybe the series wasn't a complete waste of time after all:

"ep 23 is a filler. 24 continues on with Nagisa's arc and then we have no doubt that there will be a second season. Reasons for being so:
* Nagisa's real story is not done
* The Illusionary World hasn't even finished being told
*Routes have been left out and not done (Yukine, Misae and so on) they could put this in the after story.
*Tomoya has no resolved anything with his father
* Everything the game is about is in the After Story which is not humanly possible to fit into episode 24
So his just marks the end of the school life." - from HERE

mmm, I am now hopful for a second season now, since what really disappointed me is that I know that they left a ton of shit out, and that bugs me. but I guess there probably is enough stuff for a second season. *crosses fingers*
/EDIT

ok, I guess I'm going to go take a shower and maybe watch the Clannad Movie if I still have time, and then it's back up to Annwfn for me.
*force smile* I so look forward to going back......

Just a list-o-anime that I plan on checking out this anime season, YouTube style! ^__^

List of what's under the cut:
- Kure-nai
- The Tower of Druaga ~The Aegis of URUK~
- Nijuu-Mensou no Musume

( YouTube.com videos )

there are other anime that I'm looking forward too, but unfortunately there are no youtube videos of them ;_;

*hugs computer* don't make me goooo, I dun wanna!!!! ;_;

*deep breath*

ok, with that out of the way, I'm heading back up to the land some time today. At least I got to watch ep 20 of Clannad before leaving. Yay for the fan subbers being exceptionally fast this week ^_^
normally new eps are release ether late Thursday or Friday, though last week it was release really late on Friday. Well, I guess I can't complain since it's not like they're getting paid or anything.

list of anime that I'm interested in seeing this season, in youtube format! ^_^


「CLANNAD」behind the cut:
Ef - A fairy tale of the two
BLUE DROP
Ghost Hound
( more )

so currently I'm watching higurashi no naku koro ni Kai and I came to town today to download ep 12, and guess what?

"Seems like the next episode of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai has been delayed due to the beating and death of a police officer in Japan by his 16 year old daughter. Although neither this anime nor the other anime removed “School Days” have not been linked to this event, most stations have taken it off the air until the events are finished." - FROM HERE
a little more info (but not a whole lot more)

dude, this sucks >_<
I hope they aren't going to keep it off the air too long. and it just seems stupid to take any show off the air when they don't relate to real world events what so ever. Seriousely, what dose higurashi no naku koro ni Kai have to do with this? NOTHING, that's what.

So the 5th episode of Higurashi no Naku koro ni Kai is list on animesuki; but I have reason to believe this is probably a parody sub. I wont know for sure till I finish downloading it, but here's the reasons I think it's a parody sub:
1. fan sub group (Ni-paa~) has only one things listed on their group page on animesuki
2. Normally subs for this anime is released the day after it airs, not the same day.
but mostly the fact that there is only one anime listed under that group. It could be a new group with absolutely no web site or IRC, but it is very unlikely.

so, until further notice, it is as I have always said :
I HATE PARDOY FAN SUBS!
DAMIT FAN SUBBERS, STOP F****ING AROUND WITH US!

/rant

EDIT
WOOOT, it isn't a parody fan sub! at least as far I can tell from the 2 seconds I watched of it o_O"
ok, leaving now, bye bye

Ok, so when I was downloading Higurashi no Naku koro ni Kai it only got up to 50% and then my computer died ;_;
but me and Aileen are now in Schat's Bakerie's & Cafe cuz we stopped here for lunch and I'm finishing downloading it now ^_^
yay, I'll be able to watch it tonight!! ^____^

and as far as being in town goes, I'll be in town tomorrow some time for a fews hours and then I'll be comming back Friday and leaving Monday. wheeeeee

Find your 42nd entry ever. Yes, this may require some counting and basic math. Deal with it. Link to that entry in a new entry. This is the meaning of your life.

POST 42 : Read Or Die

so... apparently my life is about anime? *blinks*
I suppose I cannot argue against this, being I am still obsessed with anime all these years later. at the very moment I am downloading anime even! lol
and even if I don't talk about it all the time, I always watch at least one show person season. ^_^

YAY, I can connect to the internet out here! it's kind of warm here, but at least I can now download the new ep of Higurashi no Naku koro ni Kai and I'll be able to watch it later ^_^
ekkk, I am soooooooo excited about the new season!! seriously. and yes, when/if Joe finds out that I was surfing the net/downloading anime while I was in town he's going to have a hissy fit. Well, too bad. I need to get out and I NEED to surf the net a bit. and I need to get away from all of them every now and then.
*sigh*
well, I think things will be better once we finish our house, that way I can have a private space to go to to get away from everyone. and also, it will be REALLY nice once we get internet connection up there. seriously, we need it. I will go insane if I have to go weeks without internet connection!

Ok, that's it for now. I'm going to surf the net a bit while I still can.

just a random share of the day. Though I think that in the future when I post videos I'll probably use dailymotion.com since the video quality is much better than youtube

and while I'm sharing random videos, here's another
( [Ps3] Final Fantasy Versus XIII )

It remind me of being dads tech support *nod*

*giggles* That is SO dad. (but not with book, obviously)

So any way, I just found this new site (video.stumbleupon.com) and basically you tell it a few things your interested in and hit the stumble button and it'll come up with random videos. it's pretty amusing ^__^
( More videos I've found )

Well, the day started off with going over to dads house at 8:30am to help him and his girlfriend get all set up with their video chat. I thought it would be simple. install yahoo messenger, log him on, tell him the correct buttons to push and then I could go sleep on the couch while they chat. Well no, life is never that simple. Not when it comes to dad and computers any way.
First off his internet connection was slow. Very slow. It took forever to get yahoo messenger install on his computer because of it. and his girlfriend was waiting at the internet cafe for us to get everything going. Not to mention it was like 11pm over there, so she was starting to just want to go home.
any way, once I do get it all installed and dad logged on, she's not online. I add her screen name, try IMing her and she's just plainly not online. (or not accepting my friend invite) But she was saying (over the phone) that she was online and that we weren't! WTF? also I kept asking "are you using yahoo messenger?" and she'd say yes, but also say "You get your dad a hotmail account, yes?" and I was like "NO, we're using yahoo."
So all in all I think she was probably not logged into yahoo but some other instant messenger and I have no idea which one ether.
*sigh* I don't get paid enough to be their tech support.

on yeah, when dad was talking with her on the phone, he was saying "my daughter is very good with computers" and I could hear her laughing, like I was the one screwing up. But whatever, I find it amusing that she seems to think she's better at me when it comes to this sort of stuff. Cuz if she was, couldn't she be walking dad through all of this? So yeah, I just find it funny. ^_^

Though dad did buy me some tea from whole foods and then took me out for breakfast for helping him out with his computer. Though unfortunately I'm going to have to go back tomorrow morning (8am to be exact) and see if I can get them set up.

wish me luck.


for dinner me, mom and Jeff went to the sports bar and we got drinks and yummy food. tehe, I'm a little drunk ^_^

and then I got home and watched my anime that finally loaded. Touka Gettan and CLAYMORE.
CLAYMORE is your average shounene type of fighting anime, while Touka Gettan is the most confusing anime I have ever seen! I'm not the only one that's confused ether!

er yeah. I'm off to bed now, I'm tired.

Guess what? Clannad is getting a TV seris. and what's better? KyoAni is doing it! ^_____^
yeah, I'm excited. AIR is probably my favorite anime I've ever seen and I am enjoying Kanon a lot. (though the last ep aired today, so that means I'll get to watch it tomorrow) So of course I look forward to another KEY anime adaption done by KyoAni

I just watched ep 9 of kanon, and really, this is all I have to say :
Auuuuu ;_;
any thing else that I could say about this ep has been said in many places.

(and yes, I am a Makoto fan, even if some people aren't...)

Because it is the best concert in an anime ever, and because Suzumiya Haruhi rocks! ^_^

Well, I just finished watching the last ep of higurashi no naku koro ni. I would say wow, but that really doesn't define how I felt about the ending.
Regardless of how much of a 'good end' it seemed at the end, the great Hinamizawa disaster probably happens anyway. (I've read any way. they don't show it though)

The anime ends at Tsumihoroboshi-hen, which means it's missing the final two chapters that explain everything. A few things get answered, but in the end there are still a lot of questions left unanswered.
now here's the problem I am currently faced with. Should I go and find the answers to my questions about the last two chapters (I know a message board that has a higurash forum) OR desperately cling on the the hope that they might bring the PS2 port out here. it seems almost ridiculous to hope that they will bring it out here, but stranger things have happened. But if by some miracle they do bring it out here I'd be kicking myself for not waiting to play the game. then again if they did decided to bring it out here it's going to be a really long time since the PS2 port in japan doesn't come out till December.... I think.


EDIT:
Well actually, this looks promising

So I'm trying to write my essay for English, which as always isn't going well. We're suppose to write about a person, place or thing, but he put heavy emphases on person so I'm confused if we're suppose to do person or if we have the option of doing something else... eh, well, I might as well do person.

On good news though, I got an A on my last essay! seriously, it was an A.
When I was reading the notes on the back page Jeff was like "how did you get an A?" and I was like "I got an A?" so I looked and I realized that the A wasn't the beginning of his sentence but the grade. I was like this : o_O"
but in a happy way since I never thought I'd get an A on that crappy essay. I guess he was just looking to see how we write and not what we were writing about. Which is good since I had such a hard time coming to any sort of opinion when it comes to comparing humanities and science and which is best at determining what reality is.


Anime
If anyone remembers my Strawberry Panic Moment and was curious as to what the result was of Amane falling off a horse was, read on! other wise just pretend the rest of the post doesn't exist

So what was the result of Amane falling off a horse? Was she so injured that she couldn't ever ride again? Did a 'who sabotaged her gear' subplot come up? Was she at least temporarily injured enough to not get up out of bed?
if you answer yes to any of these then you would be WRONG. No, Jeff gets the gold star for mentioning something I had completely forgotten about! amnesia! But not your normal kind, oh no. She just happens to conveniently remember everyone, everything, and even the moment she feel off of her horse BUT she dose not remember Hikari. You know, that girl that she was ridding toward with all the sappy lines at sunset? Yeah, her.
Also when she woke up just just stood up and left the room. No scratches, no bumps or bruises, just a convenient case of amnesia. (you'd think she'd at least have a headache if she hit her head that hard)

I have stopped expecting anything from this series. the only reason I continue watching is because I only have 2 episodes lift. I think. well, it's probably going to be 26 episodes. *shrugs*

I now present to you.... A Strawberry Panic Moment




( 19 screenshots that continue the story )
*deep heavy sigh*
I swear, this anime gets worse and worse all the time. even the "good" episodes are horrible. if that makes any sense...

The scene above (note that most of what was said wasn't what they were really saying) I found hilarious since it was just so predictable! It was a super happy scene and the first thought that came to mind was "ok, what's going to happen?" and then they panned to her foot and I was like "ok, she's going to fall off of her horse, isn't she?" and well, she did.
So next episode, what will happen? will she be dead? permanently injured? But of course she will be too injured to attend the Etoile elections, and because of that the mains characters largest competitor will be out of the way, leaving only that one girl who keeps trying to 'take advantage' of hikari. Not much competition at all.
though I guess the worst case scenario would be that she gets out of the whole ordeal without a scratch and the last scene was for nothing.

who here is watching higurashi no naku koro ni? (or at least seen the first arc?) well, here's the Kid Friendly Version! (yes, it's a parody)

LOL, I can't stop laughing!

EDIT:
even if you haven't seen higurashi no naku koro ni you might find it funny. at the very least I'm sure the poorly covered up weapons, syringes and bodies will get you to chuckle.

So, I finally got around to watching Cat Soup since it was on On Demand. it was very odd o_O"
I'm not exactly sure how to describe it o_O"
I'm probably going to watch it again tonight with Jeff, and then we can have a discussion about it since I can't seem to find any disscution threads ;_;

also, for those of you that don't have On Demand, someone has uploaded in on YouTube, yay!
