cosplay!!

hoho, well, that was my first cosplay experience and well, it was fun! whee. well, bleach was rather easy to cos, for a first-time cosplayer like me, so well, it wasn't that bad after all, though all the spare threads were hanging all over the place...

hmm, Jess was Byakuya ^^, Yadi was Momo and i was Rukia, a rather odd triangle if i shld say so...hmm, we tried to pick safer characters, or our hair would have ended up like the guy at cineleisure who was *trying* real hard to pull off Hitsugaya. hoho, that was funny alright. but i guess our costume was rather well used, coz we wore it for racial harmony day, then for cosplay on saturday, and i think again on the 5th of August for the competition. well, not too bad now.

sigh, now i feel like sewing up Athrun's uniform for fun...drats. fine, i shall elaborate on cosplay when i have the pics, coz i need some inspiration...

and back to anime news. whooo!!! i love the Ouran Koukou Host Club anime!!! but why....is everything...so PINK?!(even the clock tower is pink!) hoho, the art is really cute though, and the storyline is always light-hearted and fluffy(?) but well, of course there is a whole bunch of bishounens that makes up for the lack of seriousness (?) hoho. and the over-enthusiasm of the bishies is covered over by the lack of it in our heroine, which is really really funny. hoho. whee. and it's prob more suited for depressed ppl who want some sugar in their lives...coz it's really a diabetic show...even the op theme is soooo sweet and sugary...hoho.

and well, i get to complete my naruto collection (finally...) and guess where the missing boxes were available?? Tenchi comics...dots. at northpoint of all places. hmph. and well, the lateste installment is out too! with Itachi on the cover. hoho. whee, more bishie action with Neji fighting. hoho. sorry bout the rotten english here, i'm still trying to get my brain back to life...whee.

now thanks to the cosplaying, and my dear friend jess, i'm currently supporting the Byakuya and Rukia pairing...hmm. bah, i thought i preferred Renji and Rukia or Kaien and Rukia. o well. nvm...i shall update when i have more news...

MORE MORE MORE

whee, MORE Gundam SEED!!! hoho. there's a new movie for Gundam SEED in the making, and it's the first original story Gundam movie since MS Gundam F91 in 1991. hahaz. hopefully, there's more footage of Athrun. whee. wt 1 sequel, 2 OVAs, 2 movies and another upcoming motion picture, SEED sure has appeal huh. i guess coz there are more screaming fangirls (like myself) who like the Fruits Basket fans, jus keep asking for more, more and more. whee.

talking about Fruits Basket, the story is getting super depressing, and well, the gloom of it all seems pretty well-planned. the storyline now seems much much more complicated, and the author does seem to have planned pretty deeply into the story. though some of the art has been sacrificed, i do think the plot is worth following now that the characters are more matured and the storyline getting too dark for it to be a shoujyo manga. well, the typical kinds are definitely more cheerful and "pink" if u know wadd i mean.

and i do believe CLAMP has yet another new project. hmm, i shall see if this one is worth reading. ja.

BIG, nah, rather small, news lah.

well, i don't think this is new, but well. Busou Renkin is now an ANIME! hah. the guy sounds...rather gay...nvm, i jus like heard two words fm him. "BUSOU RENKIN!!!" so maybe it was those two words that sounded gay. hahaz. the art and animation looks good though, so maybe it's worth a shot. the trailer is available online, though it's a rather short one, well, at least it has a trailer, GUNDAM SEED Stargazer didn't even have a trailer...boo...

and hahaha. to all those YUKI fans out there, HAH. tohru has chosen KYOU!!!! whee, i like that. though it was pretty much expected since the start, it is now official. hohoho. now that the author has decided, no matter how much u hate it, it's a fact, and the best u can do is to start alternate pairing. haha. whee. that's one good news.

and i think i'm really really hooked onto Naruto now. even the song GO!!! has me hooked. hahaz, many new obssessions this time, with Pirates of the Carribean 2 coming out and new artbooks for my beloved anime, i guess that means more, bigger, holes in my poor wallet. i shall, must, will restrain myself from buying Wild Adapter. i must...i will...bah. i hope i can. hoho. going back to Naruto, the only thing that i want to know now is the identity and background of Yondaime Hokage. with that, i shall rest in peace. hah, his name is the most important, coz with a name, i can fangirl!!! whee, that was dumb, but how do u fangirl without a name?! try lah, hah, see how u stand it. bah.

and well, nothing is coming out for the time being, i guess the authors all went on holidays huh. not even a hint of the book hitting the shelves at all, stuff like Skip Beat and Genbu Kaiden are really really slow now...and they're not the only ones. bah.

perhaps i should update my bishounen list and supported pairings while waiting for them to be out...3,2,1...eh where arh?!

We Are Fighting Dreamers!

whoa, that IS a cool song line. hahaz, interesting lyrics it has too! whee, fm Naruto!

well, there goes the nice June hols. hah. i worked my PS2 rather hard this month, so well.

hmm, is it just me or is it that the shelves in comic connection and other vcd shops are always 'empty' of new series until the end of the hols?! i hardly had any new updates in that area. hmm, then on the first day of school, Vampire Knight bk 3, Tsubasa bk 14, and the Gentlemen Alliance bk 3 came out. bah. piss me off.

Naruto box 9 also made its honourable appearance on the shelves. hah. i watched like boxes 1 to 5, then jumped to 7, went back to 6 and skipped to 10. now i'm on box 9. so pathetic, the story is in pieces. bah. okaay. now, i think Itachi is rather cool. whee. oh and i sorta thought that Naruto and 4th Hokage looked kinda alike, so i went to check it out and found that the two speculations ppl have about their relationship is either the 4th being Naruto's father or that Naruto is the 4th's reincarnation or smt liddat. how fun. but i doubt Naruto would ever grow up to become as cool as the 4th. hah.

and i found out that Gundam SEED Destiny Astray and Gundam SEED Destiny: The Edge is out!!! whee, The Edge tells the story from...ATHRUN's point of view. man, finally they appreciate him as the main character. hah.

and well, i just collected another 3 mechas. well, i bought one new one and fixed up my other two. so now i have a total of 6 gundam models. whee! hmm, i have Strike Laucher Pack, Freedom, Strike Freedom, Justice, Savior and Providence. hmph, why isn't there Infinite Justice available? bah. and guess what, i found a full-size ZAFT uniform in comic connection. hah, i practically screamed when i saw it kae. it was sooooo cooool. but it cost like $120. hmph. if i had $120, i'd rather buy more manga. that does it. i shall make my own, which would probably never exist on this earth, coz i'd never get down to making it. bah.

yawn, now i wanna sleep. hmm, maybe i'd post the lyrics of my new fav song before i sleep. if i can find it that is.

hoho, there again, Miriallia (Gundam SEED) on the left and Maya (Fafner) on the right. sisters? nah.

whoo hoo, this is Soshi fm Fafner!! arh...BISHIE!!!! well, he does bear a slight resemblance to Rey...and yesh. HE is a GUY!!! 

hmm, twins of Cagalli (top left), Shinn (bottom right) and Miriallia (the remaining one)??!! WAT??!! well, again, Soshi, twin of Cagalli, Kazuki, twin of Shinn, and Maya, twin of Miriallia. no wonder they were by the same guy... 

ATHRUN ATHRUN!!!! well, nope. this is Kazuki from Fafner, see why i say u can't blame ppl who make the mistake. tell me, how do ya differentiate the two??!! well, here's how Athrun has GREEN eyes and slightly BLUE hair. hah. that's pro. 

well, doesn't this show? Tolle fm Gundam SEED on the left, Kouyou from Fafner on the right. well, fine, not convinced, hah, then they're twins.  

Sokyu no Fafner

hmm, if u see a picture resembling Athrun or Shinn in in a white uniform wt purple collars, it's not our dear gundam guys. well, it's from Fafner, as i've just found out today. haha. can't blame ppl for mistaking them, coz they were designed by the same guy, so duh, of course they look alike. and i can PROVE that to ya. hohoz, still infected by the te kua podcast. ha.

back to Fafner, Gundam is definitely better, coz i think the first two episodes had too little action for it to be a mecha anime. and the main character, who looks tons like Athrun/Shinn, depending on which angle u look at him from, is way too calm. it's as though an alien invasion from outer space is jus like a stroll in the park. hah. even Kira has freaked out before, no way i accept his cool composure. and well, the next main character, Soshi, who looks like Rey/Cagalli, depending again which side of him u see, is more normal. if u count Rey being normal, well then, that normal.

the mecha looks more like the kind in Dual! so hmm, though the language is definitely Gundam-influenced. it's like some mix of famous mecha. hmm, feels weird to see Gundam characters in a show so different from Gundam. hah. i shall watch more and decide whether to condemn or praise it. ho.

and finally, i've found Shinsengumi Imon Peacemaker. hoho. my eyes nearly popped out when i saw it on the shelves. haha. and to think i gave up hope of ever seeing it. well well, maybe i will see my Genbu Kaiden anime too. hoho.
~inori no utagoe~

holidays, yar so?

sorry, this doesn't mean i'm gonna post more frequently, jus means that i'm abandoning this blog for a while to excercise my thumbs on my ps2. hah. i'm trying really really hard to find a quote to describe my feelings now, but i dun think it's working. nvm, i shall not try.

Anime Songs

hmm, i wanted to post some anime lyrics here, but the formatting was rather difficult to manage, so i think i shall simply post the titles of these songs. hez, they have rather interesing lyrics, not like some fast-paced rap with no meaning at all. hoho, the full lyrics and translations (for some) can be found on www.animelyrics.com, and the songs themselves can be found on www.gendou.com. yupps, enjoy them, coz they're my favourites. <3

well, that's more or less it. phew, i think i still have somemore miscellaneous ones...hahaz, gotta sort them out first...bah, part 2 coming up soon. i hope. ja ne!

well, Trinity Blood again...

first, i'd like to...hmm...say that i'm so darn impressed with my classmates, Jess' and Yadi's wonderful presentation (?). anyway, *ahem* they did a short movie clip on 'The Crucible' and guess wad, it's anime-influenced, well duh, since it's the two of them doing it...but yar, whee, the 'soundtrack' was darn cool and yesh the images were very nicely drawn, fitting in with the story. haha!!! hurray for anime and fans!!! whee, practically the whole class was impressed, not jus me kae, so dun say i'm biased towards anime, which i am in the first place, so yupps, jus ignore me kae, i'm really hyper for some unknown reason. hmm, during their presentation, was it jus me, or did it sound like some anime convention opening speech. hahaz, words like Spoilers and Alternate Universe sounded so...hmm...anime (?). kk, fine i'm crapping. so yupps, i jus wanna say i think ya did a great job kae!! whee!

kk, back to Trinity Blood. well, now that i've watched 5/6 of the first box, i have to say, it's a little disappointing. the creators seem to be in a hurry to squeeze everything together to make a more complex storyline, so they compromised on the development of the characters. hmm, either that or they are confused as to whether they should focus more on character or storyline. to tell the truth, i think both aspects are better developed in Chrno Crusade. but i guess, the artwork of Trinity Blood is nice, with tons of bishounens, (most of them i only know the name and nothing else). kinda sad, coz i'm one who likes to go for deep and sophisticated characters. basically someone with more depth, like some sort of history behind the character. now, even the main character Abel Nightwood has a hazy past...other questions like, What is Hugue's personal grudge that might have interfered with his mission? or What is Leon doing in prison? and stuff liddat has not been answered. hah. i want the answers...seems like the producers of the anime made it for those who already noe the story and can follow thru better. hmm, hopefully, the next twelve episodes will give me my answers. bahh. o yar, and i think i mention in the previous post tt i'd be fangirling (got such verb meh) over this dude with yellow-flowing hair...well, i found out his identity. heh. Hugue, code-name Sword Dancer. soo cool. whee! and i think it was kinda sad that Gyula died so soon, i kinda liked him too...hmm, cool, dark and mysterious. heh, sounds like a certain Oniwabanshuu Okashira doesn't it?! heh. go Aoshi! whee, fine, i realised i'm super high today. well then, tata.

ahhhh...Histsugaya Toushirou!!! i saw pictures of him in his theatrical movie from Yadi and omg, he looked darn cool!!! how the heck can a real person resemble an anime character so much?! even the actor for Byakkuya din do as good a job. hmm. Hitsugaya is really cool, but he doesn't get enough screen time to develop. aww...nvm, he gets his on stage. ^^ 

well, here's the full cast of Trinity Blood, but i dun see the main character anywhere. interesting, they left him out of the pic and gave Tres the main place. hoho, not that i'm complaining about it though. whee. but as you can see, this anime is pretty dark, so few brights spots here and there, if you're depressed i suggest u wait till u recover some happiness in your life before you watch it, then it will take that happiness away again. hoho. so evil...
