Oh I.. finally got around to watching the final episode of Shigofumi. It wasn't that bad, actually. Better than most of the endings I've seen. >: Now I have to buy the DVDs, don't I? Best show of winter season, seriously.

Now it's back to watching old anime until Spice and Wolf 7 comes out and a batch torrent is made for the series. Then I'll marathon that. And I should probably marathon Gayass sometime soon too. >: If I can find the episodes online still, that is. April season seems promising now. I'm looking forward to Toshokan Sensou and Allison & Lillia the most, I.. hope they don't suck. Toshokan looks really good, at least, so I'm hoping they don't screw it up somehow.

Case 3 of PW3 atm, just started the second part. I'm kinda too lazy to play it right now so I'll just play The World Ends With You once I get it from Giselle, lol. Also started SO3, but I keep on landing on UNDERDEVELOPED PLANETS WHAT THE HELL if I wanted to play in medieval settings then I would play Civilization or something like that. :| And this dungeon is annoying. I'd like to quit playing but I have to see how retarded this plot twist is for myself. And I... like Peppita. Kind of. D: She's kawaii desu.

I guess I'll play some more P3 soon. I'm just too lazy to grind, but at least the dungeons aren't impossibly hard to navigate like SO3. :( I really want to play some TotA but I don't have it, lol, I'll play it at Giselle's house if I can go. D:

I'm just waiting for my dad to get back so I can ask him to take me to Giselle's house. >: I hope he'll actually take me this time. fff

I'm bored. ):

Currently playing PW3; in the middle of the second case. I know, I'm slow, but I'm playing P3 at the same time so I only really have time to play PW on the bus and before bed.

Still GRINDAN for the next boss battle on P3. I guess I need to put a little more time into training now, lol. No more waiting until the last week or so to train. I'm at level 26 atm, with around 2000 EXP to go until the next level. Training until level 28, the enemies only give around 50~100 EXP each unless I get a multiplier. I just don't know if the team is strong enough to let everyone split up and fight for themselves yet. :| I guess I'll try it out tomorrow. Still gotta finish that quest too, ugh. I've never had this much trouble finding the glowing red shadows before.

Harvest Moon DS Cute was released today, I'm going to see if I can borrow some money from my friends and then walk to the mall on Friday or something to get it. D: I know I should be saving some money for fabric and yarn so I can cospray Yukari to the FES/The World Ends With You release, but HM DS Cute is just too.. cute. >: Maybe I can convince my dad to get it for me so I can save up money for other games like Arcana Heart and Baroque and FES. Still looking for a cartridge of MFoMT or FoMT, though. :| ugh. This is impossible. I want my Doctor. D: m-maybe eBay. I'll convince my dad to get it somehow, since it's cheap.

But to the real reason that I made this post, for rambling about the Spring animu. >: FUCK YES

There really aren't any series that I'm that interested in for the spring season. The ones that I'm planning on watching are Allison & Lillia, Toshokan Sensou, Code Gayass R2 considering that I actually finish the first season, maybe Macross Frontier, Wagaya no Oinari-sama, Chi's Sweet Home, and maybe two more if /a/ likes them and if I can actually find out the name to this one wtf. I think this was around the same number of series that I took on last season, and all of them got dumped except for one. >: Planning on picking up Spice and Wolf again after the DVDs are released (wtf episode 7 DVD only), but I'm probably not going to start watching the other series again. H2O was too QUALITY and looks like it had a crappy ending, Persona just ended up sucking, ZSZS got too moe (and they replaced a kickass ending with a bland one :|), and.. yeah. I guess you can consider Kaiji sort of last season, too.

I guess I might finish watching ZSZS anyway since I enjoyed SZS and the first two episodes of ZSZS. But it seems like it's degenerated into deriving humor from references to other anime. >: I guess it's turned into Lucky Star and Hayate no Gotoku. Ugh.

Well, now that I think about it, the spring season almost looks more promising than the winter season. Too many shoujo shows for my liking though. Vampire Knight animu. :| fffff WHERE IS MY KAIJI SEASON 2

So I'm taking the moment to catch up on older shows I haven't seen. I probably won't end up watching Baccano! until break, since I have to watch it on the computer, but I'm planning on watching the Aria series, Sketchbook, Bartender, and finishing Mononoke for now. Torrenting Mononoke atm, and probably will start on Bartender after I'm finished with that. I also need to watch Denno Coil and a few movies, considering I can actually find them. D: Fuck yes 5 centimeters DVD, but I can't find Makoto Shinkai films anyhere. I guess I'll just order them online if there's a sale or something.

Still waiting for news on light novels. Ballad of a Shinigami is out, but I couldn't find a listing for it on Amazon for some reason, and none of the B&Ns around here carry it. I'm hoping to stumble upon it by chance at a Waldenbooks or Borders, but that seems pretty unlikely. Kino no Tabi is still unreleased, I guess.

I'm waiting for my books to get shipped to me right now. They should be here on Friday but FSDFDSF I WANT THEM NOW. :| im impatient lol

Yeah, they're supposedly still waiting to be picked up. The mailman better surprise me sometime on Friday or I better see it when I come back from a walk/the mall. D: I want to read those goddamned books. I need more novels to read during school.

And.. yeah. Andrew is lending me Star Ocean 3 again lol. I guess I'm playing this over spring break too.

I AM SUCH A WEEABOO D:

...I need to find more time to play UBW and True Remembrance. ;-;

Shigofumi 11, oh god. One more episode left. I wonder how they're going to finish this off with a fulfilling ending, since it looks like they're going to introduce another episode as well. I hope they don't pull a crap ending like Akagi, at the very least. Fucking awesome anime ruined by a half-assed ending.

Waiting on Kaiji 24 atm, it looks like it'll be out in a few days at the rate Triad is releasing recently. But they're going to go back to releasing new episodes every two weeks again, I know it. >:| TISSUE BOX RAFFLE, THOUGH, FUCK YEAH. THIS BOX IS AWESOME.

Speaking of Kaiji, I-I now have a soft spot for Mikoko. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. Some anon on /fkmt/ released a translation of some of the pages with her in it from part 2, and oh god they're so lol worthy. PERO PERO PERO

...So yeah, I like her for the comic relief now. I just thought she was kind of creepy-lookin' when I saw her first, and I RAGED like every other Kaijifag when I saw her clinging to mai moe waifu, but I.. crap, I kind of like her now. lol. I still don't like the pairing though. :| KAIJI/SAHARA LOL

I.. I bought some more books, they should be here in a week or two. Socrates in Love, Calling You, and Be With You. I was going to buy Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World as well, but since it's in stock in some of the B&N's around here (Boynton, I can probably go when I go to Giselle's house), I decided to go for the more obscure novels that I can't find around here. Also waiting on Ballad of a Shinigami to come in stock, as well as Kino no Tabi volume 2 to be released. Still no news about it yet. :|

I need some more books to read. I feel like a total weeaboo only reading Japanese translated novels, but there really isn't anything I'm interested in right now. Eoin Colfer (epic fucking troll) completely fucked up on Artemis Fowl, so I have no interest in any of the books beyond 4 (and I've read them all several times), and most/all teen literature is pretty crappy. I tried picking around in the adult fiction section, but there really wasn't anything that looked too interesting. There was this one book that I wanted to read about some.. newspaper woman working in India, but I can't remember what it's called anymore. I'll know what it is by the cover, though.

Been playing P3 for most of this week, though I didn't get to play last night or tonight. Staying home tomorrow, though, so I'll be able to play for pretty much the entire day, save for piano lessons in the afternoon. The game's been great so far, though Strega only just recently showed up -- it's kind of sad that I have to play pretty far into the game to even get some plot development, but boosting social links and finishing quests is fine with me. I just wish it wasn't so annoying to max the social links. I'll follow a guide for it when I get FES, since I definitely won't be able to max them all out on this playthrough. The characters are enjoyable though, and so are the scenarios during the full moons, so I'm content with playing right now. I-I really want to get to November something in the game soon though, so I can work on that social link for Mitsuru lol. ;-;

I've been wanting to play Tales of the Abyss again, but Giselle has it right now, lol. She's around the beginning of the game, maybe 12 or so hours in, so I won't be expecting to get it back for a few weeks unless she plays nonstop on weekdays and weekends. D: Took me a week to beat it over winter break playing almost nonstop, so I probably won't get it back in a week or two. I want to play it though, just to make Luke run around his mansion in the towel boy costume like a faggot. And so that I can get the Abyss Ranger costumes which I haven't gotten yet for some god-forsaken reason. But uh, fun game is fun and I'm still in love with it, jesus christ. Must cosplay moar TotA. I'll just.. satisfy myself by making fun of Luke and Jade if she plays it when I go over to her house. >:

But yeah, I'm hoping to get Persona 3 done in a week or so. I could probably get around 4 or 5 months in if I play over the weekend, and then one month for every weekday. I don't have that long to play, anyway, I think the game only goes out to December or January something before it skips to January 31. I'm in August right now, so that's 4 months until December.

I don't remember what else I was going to write about now. Getting some stuff for Chrome, Ken/Kenji, and Anise (lol redo again) on Saturday, hoping it doesn't cost too much because I'm still trying to save up for FES and The World Ends With You. I can afford to wait for Arcana Heart, Baroque, Sword of Rondo, and a buttload of other games that I want to get, but not FES and Subarashi Kono Sekai. D: I might get Luminous Arc when I'm done with Etrian Odyssey, or just to play when I get bored of GRINDAN so much, but that's all I'm planning to get atm unless I somehow manage to make enough money to get more games than that.

Also, I'm cosplaying as Yukari with Giselle to the FES/Subarashi Kono Sekai release on April 22, lol. She's going as Minato. Since it'll be on a Tuesday, if we can't make it on the release date then we'll be going on the Saturday right after. It'll look so.. gay. Oh god. I doubt we'll be able to bring evokers or the joke weapons that they get in the game, but we'll be there in the normal outfits and SEES armbands and.. oh wow. This will be great.

While I'm still on the subject of Persona, HOLY SHIT PERSONA 4. The trailer for it looks amazing, though I want my kawaii desu ne Elizabeth back. Not sure what the new one is called, but she's not as moe as my Elizabeth from P3. ;_; I like the new character designs, though I'm not as fond of the new Mitsuru. The new Junpei looks awesome, though.

The only thing I don't like about the game so far is the.. penis protector on the Main Character's persona, o lol. That's just kind of odd. But uh, yeah. The dungeon's inside a TV and you fight on the sets a-and it's a murder mystery this time, oh god. I'm not as fond of the plot as P3's, but it still sounds really fun.

It should be coming out in July for Japan, so I'm expecting to wait at least a year to get it here. >: At least I'll have a few other games to amuse me.

O mai, Harvest Moon DS Cute is coming out in 5 days. Time to track down a MFoMT game cartridge so I can squeal over Doctor again. :D I HOPE I CAN FIND ONE AT GAMESTOP, SHIT

Finished reading Kafka on the Shore. Decent book, but I'm not sure if I like it more than The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or not. Another ambiguous ending, lots of symbolism and things you have to figure out by yourself. Murakami said that you had to read the book several times to get the actual meaning of it, but I'm not patient enough to do that, haha. >: I did read it pretty quickly though, faster than it took me to read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

I'm still trying to find a copy of Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but no luck so far. Barnes and Noble says it's in stock at the store but it wasn't there any of the times I went to look for it. So I need another book to entertain me for now. I guess I'll go look into some more fiction books when I have some time. D: I was supposed to read The Joy Luck Club but I haven't started on it at all yet, only read the first story and then something out of the middle. I guess I'll read that for the moment being, until Ballad of a Shinigami and Kino no Tabi 2 comes out.

and.. yeah. derp

Another week until Megacon, dress pieces are pinned down and cloak is being painted, though I have to redo one of the pieces because paint spilled on it and.. yeah. ugh. It happened last time too. I'm just lucky that I still have enough fabric left to cut out another piece, I didn't think I would have enough but I guess I did. Still gotta buy a few things, so I'm banking on finding them at the mall over the weekend. Otherwise I'll just see if I can borrow them from someone else until I can buy my own. It'll be a lot of trouble either way. >: I've gotten pretty much everything else worked out, though, so I really have only those two things to worry about. Everything else I'm pretty sure I can get done if I work really hard over the weekend and during the week.

I'm, uh, addicted to this song right now. wtf. The full version's surprisingly nice. I couldn't really get into the TV size because it was boring after watching the full episode, but listening to it by itself is.. good. ;-; Same way with the Kaiji ED. augh. I need more songs to listen to.

And anon released Ten chapter 1 fuckyeah. It's on my desktop right now, but I'm going to wait until later to listen to it. Going to work for a while, and then come over here to write my essay for English. >: I kind of want to go to sleep but I'm too busy to take a nap right now. D:

...shigofumi 8 is done downloading.

SHIT >:|

o-omg, I just remembered how awesome the music is in Makoto Shinkai's works. >: Addicted to Through the Years and Far Away again. augh.

Megacon in two weeks. Should go to Blockbuster soon and get a few movies for the car rides to and from Orlando. Thinking of getting Voices of a Distant Star again, and then putting some animu on my mp3. Maybe What Dreams May Come, because it looks like a good movie but I couldn't even pay attention to it because everyone in the class was talking while I was trying to pay attention. GSG, probably, since I still haven't finished it (lol). a-and I'm not sure what else. I can just play Etrian Odyssey if I really get bored.

Cloak pieces all cut out, stencils laid out for painting tomorrow. Added paperclay details to lollipop and sanded base for core drill, going to add details to that tomorrow. I was going to start on my dress, but I couldn't use the sewing machine tonight because my mom would bitch at me for it being too loud. fsfsdfdsf. tomorrow it is >: I should also start on the shoes, but I can't finish them until I get some good glue to glue them down to the base. And I wanted to replace the craft foam anyway. Oh well. I'm not sure if I'm making the dildoblade this time either, because I want to but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it. I was going to make it out of paperclay but realized it would look odd, so I'm hoping to get some wood over the weekend and be able to hack it into shape. If I can't, then.. no one will notice. NOBODY KNOWS BOUT WHO THE HELL I AM D:

maybe Ill try the paperclay thing anyway. it'll look stupid though, I promise. D:

P.S. FUCK YEAH KAIJI BEST BRICK SHITTING SCENE EVER OH MY GOD ;_;

The speeches in this series are so epic. Holy crap. I saw screens of Tonegawa's speeches before I watched the animu and thought they were fucking hilarious, but realized that they were serious business once I saw them in the animu. And Kaiji's speech in episode 20 before he flips the card-- JESUS CHRIST ;-;

I LOVE THIS ANIMU

a-and his batshitinsaneface is sexy. >: goddamn

KAIJI 20 IS OUT

FUCK YEAH

FUCK YEAH.

p.s. yes I will make a post like this every time an episode gets released. :(

FUCK YEAH KAIJI

AAAAHHHH CRUISE CONTROL I CAN'T STOP NOW

a-also, got the last pack of paperclay from michael's. it's wonderful, oh my god. D: I started working on my core drill and filled in the gaps on my lollipop, going to sand them down once they dry and then build more onto the drill and papier mache the lollipop. I, uh, should probably also take a look at the game in a bit to see if I need to repaint the handle and add something to the bottom of it.

Things are coming along slowly. Just as planned?

JESUS CHRIST KAIJI DOWNLOAD FASTER :(

So I went ahead and read Sphere today, started in 1st period and finished reading at around 8:30. Read it intermittently at school though. >: decent book but the ending was.. eh. not that great, could have been better but also could have been worse.

I, uh.... Kaiji, jesus christ.

Kaiji episode 19. ;-; fucking epic with subs EXPECIALLY THE MIRROR PAUNCHING SCENE ON MY GOD. I should watch it again. jesus christ

waiting for my shigofumi 8

and kaiji 20

I'll give Triad 3 days before I start screaming MY FUCKING SUBS again. D:

THREE DAYS

...earcutting.

kaiji will get me into guro, I fucking guarantee it.

KAIJI EPISODE 19 FUCK YEAH

FUCK YEAAAHHHHHHHHH

AHHHH DOWNLOAD HURRY THE FUCK UP

I'M GOING TO STAY UP LATE WATCHING THIS

FUUUUCKKKK

/cruise control

no, wait, more capslock is needed to properly express my energy.

FUCK

YEAH

KAIJI

okay, now I'm done. :(

WAIT

20 MINUTES

FUCK YEAH D:

I-I'm okay, really. >:

lol, intently staring at Azureus trying to make the download go faster >:|

I, uh... watched Shigofumi 7 and ZSZS 4 as well. Shigofumi was awesome as usual, best this season. ZSZS is getting shittier with the fanservice and... yeah. >: First season was better, even if the second season does have better animation. ugh.

BUT THAT DOESNT MATTER

CAUSE

KAIJI SUBS.

FUCKYEAH

wh-wh

I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING THAT WAS HAPPENING LOL

Oh god, ear cutting made me cringe even though they didn't show it on screen. ;_; And Kaiji's badass face is so unbelievably GAR. Holy crap.

I-I think he's wagering for some insane amount in the next episode, like 19 million or something. I DON'T KNOW JAPANESE NUMBERS FROM 10 ON LOL D:

SUBS, FUCKING SUBS

AUUUUGHHHH

Also, episode 21 next week WANT RIGHT NOW. ;_; EVEN IF I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT UGH

Daytime /a/, why do you suck so much? :( Screw this, I'm going to go work on cospure.

H-holy shit, it looks like Kaiji's still a good 50 votes or so above Hosaka. I don't know if it was the doing of unlimited proxy works overnight or if Hosakafags really are just trolling and there are only one or two of them in /a/, but.. ;_; REACH FOR THE STARS KAIJI

If Hosaka wins by a come-from-behind victory, I'll just.. stop following SaiGAR for real. >: Everyone knows that Kamina will win anyway. It's not that I don't FUCKING LOVE KAMINA JESUS CHRIST D:, but it would be nice to see a less popular animu triumph over popular animu like Higurashi, Minami-ke, and Gurren Lagann. >: and I.. never wanted to rape Kamina with a strap-on O LOL D: Though I do hope that K1 and Rena both make it into the next round just for a K1 vs. Rena showdown, fuuuck.

lol animu contests

While I'm talking about animu, the spring season sucks. >: Holy shit. What is all of this shoujo faggotry? The only shows that I'm thinking of watching are Wagaya no Oinari-sama, Toshyokan Senshou, and Chi's Sweet Home. I was hoping for it to be better than the winter season, but I guess not. I need to pick up the shows that I dropped from the winter season, excluding H2O, since they were actually pretty decent. H2O was good for the first episode, but all of the fanservice and sfdsfadf and the show's so QUALITY now that I can't bear to watch it anymore. I'll marathon it once it's over, I guess. Spicy Wolf is still FUCK YEAH ECONOMICS and I'll catch up on that once I've finished with Akagi. Not sure what to say about Persona, since it doesn't look like it correlates to the game very much, but I guess I'm still going to wait until I've gotten decently far into the game to continue watching it. ZSZS subs are still nonexistent but I'm less enthusiastic to watch it now that they've replaced the awesome OP and ED sequences with moe shit. :/ Shigofumi continues to be awesome, though, can't wait for episode 7 jesus christ~

A-and I still need to watch ef and sola and a bunch of old shows that I started and didn't finish. shit, when is spring break coming D:

Okay, enough rambling, time to go work on young Jade. The knit I bought for his shirt is so soft and warm. ;_;

oh

oh u, /a/. ;_;

I.. I'm crying manly tears right now. Goddammit. I haven't been this sad since Kamina died. >:

I'm still going to finish watching Akagi but I don't know if I want to read the mango now. ;_; FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

why you do thiisssssss

Downloading Shigofumi 6 at the moment and just watched the raw of Kaiji 19 a little while ago. I- I- what was happening, shiiit ;-;

The part at the end where he PAUNCHED the mirror was fucking awesome, but I could barely figure out what was going on during the episode. >: HURRY UP WITH UR SUBS TRIAD

And and episode 20 holy shit I HAVE TO SEE IT. ;-; Gotta wait until next week for it to come out but- the ear cutting off and--

dafdiufhadsiufhdsaifu

This animu.. why is it so great? ;-; oh god.

I am such a Haruhifag it's not funny. ;-; My god I love this series. Too bad the fandom sucks.

Do want the PS2 game. >: Too bad it's probably not coming out here.

ughhhhh

KAIJI 18 SUBS ARE OUT

FUCK I LOVE YOU TRIAD

>:| New ZSZS ED has put me into despair. in b4 slowpoke

The old ED was 10x hotter. WHY YOU DO THIS SHAFT ;_;

Akagi's done downloading, episodes 1-13 at least. I'll be watching it tomorrow on the bus~

MY KAIJI 17 SUBS, WHERE ARE THEY. >:| I'll be done with Akagi in a few days if I only watch it on the bus and don't just marathon it like I did with Kaiji, which.. I'll probably end up doing anyway if it was as epic as the first two plot arcs of Kaiji were. D: ROCK PAPER SCISSORS LOL

Mononoke after this, and then... still not sure what to watch next. Maybe sola. I should probably try to finish Code Gayass but Ledouche was so irritating that I won't be able to make it through the whole thing. >:| Euphie was cute though. And uh.. still need to find some time to marathon Eureka 7. Too many episodes.

when did i become such a weeaboo D:

Also, guess I'm working on the jacket tonight. I didn't realize that the collar was so easy. Just need to pick up some buttons and lining material on Saturday~ Just waiting for the TV to be free now.

I guess I can play sum PCB for now. :( Haven't touched my Touhou in a little while, and watching my cute microbe buddies run around on the screen only amuses me for so long.

SHIT NOW THEY'RE ALL CONGREGATING

THIS IS SO CUTE.

P.S. Kino no Tabi volume 2 next week FUCK YEAH

fffff--

Tabi no Tochuu and Ringo Hiyori singles are out. They don't disappoint.

Also, take home quiz in math fuckyeah. I got half of the quiz done in class because it was GROUP WORK (!!) so...!

One last thing, went to take another look at the character book on TotA and Nebilim, Jade, and Dist were magically added to the Keterberg section!! They seriously weren't there before. >:| wtf. Jade's shirt and pants are kind of.. really stupid. But he has pockets and LONG PANTS. I won't be freezing my ass off when I wear the costume at Mega!!

Anyway, today's a good day.

Now if only Kaiji 17 was out. :(

Speaking of animu, btw- watched Shigofumi episode 4. Chiaki was introduced, I wonder what they'll do with her for the rest of the series? Also, a bit more insight into Fumika, and a sweet-ish stand-alone episode. I agree with everyone else that the scene with the angel statue was really good, but the rest of the episode wasn't so great compared to the first two episodes. Still waiting for episode 5 subs, hopefully FTP will come out with them soon. The last episode release was 4 days ago, and it looks like they come out with new subs pretty quickly, so I'll just have to wait for updates from /a/ for now.

Torrenting the rest of Moyashimon for now, watching it on the bus tomorrow morning and afternoon. After that, I'll probably download Mononoke or Denno Coil, unless I can think of some other short series that I started but didn't end up finishing for some odd reason. >:

Working on finishing up the turtleneck at the moment but at a loss for what to do with the unfinished edges. I can't just leave them like this, but I tried making a rolled hem on one of the sleeves -- ended up stretching the knit out and now it looks retarded. Gotta figure out some way to fix this, I'll play around with the extra knit I have later to see what I can do. It's pretty much done except for that though, all of the seams are zig-zagged and trimmed.

Going to start working on the jacket soon. I have no buttons for it but I'll pick some up at JoAnn next week~ I guess I'll draft a muslin pattern for it first if I have any, otherwise I'll... idk. >: draft it on paper and then go from there, I guess. I was thinking of lining it anyway, so I'll have to keep the shapes anyway. And yeah. D:

Remaking Simon's jacket as well, I pretty much have to if I want it to be two layers. Trying to cut out pieces from an already made garment is... not fun. D: yeah

...and I realized that I didn't post this from last night. Oops. New entry coming up in a bit.
