I've found an anime series that's closely connected with xxxHolic, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. I began watching this only because it has something to do with xxHolic and it turned out to be a somewhat good anime. If you're a fan of xxxHolic, you shouldn't miss it. It explains a few things of xxxHolic, and tells more about Yuko.

It's connected to xxxHolic on many occasions in the series, and xxxHolic is connected to Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle on some occasions, for example when Moro and Maru uses Fai's wand to hit a mat (in xxxHolic) to more concrete actions like when Syaouran and Sakura talks to Yuka (end of xxxHolic: Kei) and it is shown in both Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle as well as in xxxHolic: Kei.

Anywho, i've been a big fan of the Mummy movies. They made Brendan Fraser so old in this one! D: He still had some great lines and good shots, but I didn't really like how much they played up the "Old father" side of his character. Another thing that continued to bug me the entire movie was that there is a new actress playing the role of Evelyn. I tried to get used to her, but I just couldn't shake the fact that she was nothing like the original.
The movie was still great though. One highlighting moment is when the Yak literally Yakks all over Jonathan xD
And the best movie quote -  Jonathan: "Ah! My ass is on fire! My ass is on fire! Spank my ass. Spank my ass!"

For the heck of it, i've also been watching some older movies that I have

Newsies

 Christain Bale singing and dancing, it's all good (:

Chobits

I was able to understand better what Chi was, and what the "one for me" theme meant. The relationships whether humanxhuman or persocomexhuman, it was about being loved for who you are, and not to go into a relationship halfassed.

The newest series...

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

It seems the same ideals that Clamp uses in thier stories exists in Tsubasa Chronicle. The "it will definately be alright" (I love that spell) theme from Cardcaptor Sakura still holds in this series.

After finally finishing the Fall 2008 Lineup post, I've decided to unwind and relax for the remaining days of Summer vacation. It's 16 days before Orientation and though it sounds like I have a lot of time left on my hands it's really really not all that much. The days are passing me by at extreme speed and I'm just sitting at my desk doing absolutely nothing.

So what have I been doing lately? ... well, I haven't been doing what I teenager my age should be doing (namely, going out with friends and basking in the beautiful sun). Actually, it's been probably two weeks since I last actually did something (Otakuthon) ... and those two weeks of doing nothing passed me by without notice. I could only imagine how fast sixteen days will pass. So, instead of enjoying summer I imprisoned myself in my room catching up to Anime, reading the Manga I wanted to read and playing the games I want to play.

Anime

I finally caught up to everything. Thank goodness for popcorn it made the screen-staring much more bearable. At this point, I'm only behind with Soul Eater and Zero no Tsukaima. Ugh, watching 12 shows at the same time isn't really doing me any good. I'm thinking of dropping World Destruction, Zero no Tsukaima and Nogizaka Haruka since I'm not watching those with any visible vigor. I've already lost all hope in Zero being interesting. I'm tired of hearing "kuma" a hundred times in each episode of World Destruction. And I can get my "Aww, so cute!" from other places than Nogizaka.

Manga

The only Manga I'm really steadily following is Mistress Fortune and TRC. But seriously, TRC is dragging on and on. Is it really necessary to drag it out so much? Geebus, you're killing me CLAMP. Anyways, in my remaining free days, I'm going to attempt to read all the Manga I've been meaning to read. Namely, Special A, Shugo Chara, Nabari no Ou and Amatsuki. The only reason I haven't been getting anywhere is because I don't particularly enjoy reading Manga on the computer. My eyes start hurting after five chapters unless it's really interesting. The last time I sat down to read massive amount of Manga on the computer was when I read a 100 chapters of Skip Beat!. I prefer buying Manga but I'm poor and the bookstores here don't have a nice directory. (Marche Clandestin is a good place but it's way far)

(On another note: I'm desperate for more chapters of Kuroshitsuji. My interest in it has just fucking increased after reading the first five chapters. It seems like Sebastian's a demon that made a contract with Ciel to serve him forever. I don't even care about how Ciel can Geass Sebastian. This manga's awesome.)

Game

I'm still on Kyou's route in CLANNAD. In the spot right after Tomoya says he prefers long hair. Ha! Take that Ryou. =/ I ran into Hiiragi sometime before that and boy was I happy to see a cute guy. I can't wait to play his route. He's just so cute.

I also found the time to install Silver Chaos and played it for like ... fifteen hours straight. I probably played through 80% of the game at this point. I'm going to review it (along with the fanbox and Drama CD) once I finish the game completely.

Site

Nothing much. I just cleaned up the links on my Blogroll.

#1:Uninstall, Bokurano Opening
Yes, I have seen this anime and the song is better than the anime imo.

I am constantly updating this and if I find another song I really like it just might appear on this list. Now, I have MANY other japanese songs I like maybe more than some of these, but I don't know if they are from anime or not so I didn't include them.

It was awesome. xD Oh my goshh. I don't usually hang out with my friends a lot; especially during summer because everyone's busy with SOMETHING, except for me, who sits at home all day fangirlling SuJu[+M].

It was supahh fun. =3 Kind of awkward at first, but omgg this is what celebrities must feel like. D: Except they're constantly doing photoshoots.. Oh yeah, we did one of the poses like this SHINee pic. :DD

Nyahar. I'll probably upload a few when we get them. x__X Which'll take WHAT, TWO-TO-THREE WEEKS?! Dx That's really long...
[Come to think of it, my orchestra CMEA group picture from April never arrived. .___. Hm.]

Oh yeah, Kojiru was kind enough to save me a clipping of a Super Junior-M picture she saw in the newspaper. :DDDDDD <333

=3 Me happy, yes yes.

But.. it's a really, really awkward pose. xD Taken from the beginning of one of the "U" dance performances[I think the Music King Awards], when they all have their elbows out and then they look up once the music starts. Their expressions are really LOL. -stares-

Another setback is.. I don't know where to put it. T.T

I would tape it under my Tsubasa Chronicle newspaper clipping on the wall behind my bed, but that's my Tsubasa Wall! xD SuJu-M doesn't belong theree. And I'd tape it on the wall next to my bed, but... xD That'd be so awkward. The wall is completely empty, so the only thing that'd be on it would be a little 3x4" thin piece of paper.

PS;; YAAAY Happy 15th birthday to SHINee's adorableeeee magnae, Taemin! :DDDD

Now he doesn't make me feel that old! ^^
[I don't wanna be a noona. T.T]

Oh yeah, don't diss bowl cuts; I had one for six years.

Syaoran is the main character and protagonist for the first half of the story. Childhood friend of Princess Sakura. He is known for his kind nature and his calm determination. At the beginning Syaoran does not have any magical power, but is an excellent martial artist and an aspiring archaeologist with extensive knowledge of various languages, histories, and artifacts. It's later revealed that Syaoran is actually a clone of "Syaoran" Li that was orginally created in order to collect Princess Sakura's feathers.

Yesterday was also Michishige Sayumi's 19th birthday. Happy belated birthday!
 

And also, yesterday was Syaoran/Shaoran's birthday. =3

Remember this boy from Cardcaptor Sakura? Ahh, I used to be soooo obsessed with him. xD I even got my FRIENDS to be obsessed with him! =3 I used to always say, like, how cute he was, etc, etc. xD

And then I started watching Tsubasa Chronicle and I found my soul mate. :DDDDDD <3 Tsubasaaaaa! I'm still obsessed with it, even though I don't show it as much as my SuJu-M obsession. :D And, of course, I got even more obsessed with the Tsubasa Syaoran<3 than the CCSyaoran. Ehe. Hence the wallscrolls, posters, keychains, wallet, pins, DVDS, etc.

Clone Syaoran. T.T I miss him. </3 I really liked Clone Syaoran... He was too awesome... Reading the manga is too heartbreaking for me now. xD Whenever I read it, I get really depressed. Aaahhh, I'm never gonna finish that AMV.

Anyway, I'm not sure if Clone Syaoran's birthday is July 13th also. =/ Usually I celebrate his on April 1st, the birthday Sakura gave him. But, yeah, if Real Syaoran's birthday is July 13, then happy belated birthday to him! >___<

[:D I used to collect anime icons a lot. Credits to the people who made these! <3 Not me!]

Today... I went back to that Chinese doctor for my skin after a week of drinking disgusting Chinese herbal medicine. And you know what? Now I have to drink even MORE disgusting Chinese herbal medicine!

AND THIS TIME IT'S WORSE.

I. HAVE. TO. DRINK.

BUG JUICE?!

EWWWWWWWWWW!!! >______< -cries for life-

Technically they're dried-up insects, but the word 'insects' makes me itchy. -cringes- Ahh, I'm scratching already... I really, really, really, really LOOOAATHEEE insects... Besides, bug juice is easier to say...

But still, it's still SO NASTY. I'm drinking liquid that's coming from boiled BUGS! Eww! >___<

Ebah so sad. Sob sob!
Wahhhh...! -crawls into Tamaki corner-

PS;; Oh yeah. Speaking of Tamaki.. SUUUUUUUPER congrats to Vic Mignogna who got the part of Tamaki in the Ouran dub! Gahhhh I'm so happy for him!

It's the part he really wanted! ^^ He's gonna be so great at it! Even though I really don't think I'm gonna like the Ouran dub at all, Vic is gonna be the perfect Tamaki. Just like he was the perfect Fai, the perfect Ed, and the perfect Dark[-melts-].

And Aaron Dismuke is gonna be in it too! Squeeeeee!
[=___=;; I blame Chiichama who got me into voice actors.]

How bad can it get?! I had to cancel my classes a couple of times because of what happened...now i think i have to have classes during the weekend so that my make up classes wont accumulate that much..

*groan*

Anyway, during the time that my internet went down, I have nothing much to do but just watch animes. I brought my cousin's anime collection. I think it got a couple of neat animes & i got it for a bargain! :D

I still long way to go before i would be able to finish it halfway. Im currently watching 'Tsubasa Chronicle' & man!that anime sure is so nice....perfect for people who like romance.

I'll give the sound effects & the song a 10! The sound fits nicely with the theme of every episode. Whether its a fighting scene, or just a heart-wretching scene between two lovers who cant express themselves, it really evoke emotions. Of course, graphics & story is also a 10!

I already watched Card Captor Sakura & i like that anime too ^_^

The main characters in Tsubasa Chronicle are also the characters in CCS, so in a way, its a delight to see them all grown up & in a different, grown-up stage.

Although im just on the start of the 2nd season, i still have a few episodes & OVA's to watch, but as of now Im really enjoying it. I'll just tell the story as soon as im done watching it.

A few more episodes, chips & juice, tears & ill be done....

Today sucked. July sucks, but all these little things make it worse.

This morning was hell. x[ Lots of things happened and I ended up crying my eyes out. :D My parents wouldn't stop calling me stupid. But I guess I really am stupid. July makes me feel even stupider.

Brb gotta drink Chinese herbal skin medicine. Back. Ugh, that stuff was sooo nasty.

And then my parents dragged me to Oakland[45 min drive] to visit my grandpa and aunt. =_____=;; That was probably the dullest hour of my summer. An hour doesn't sound very long sometimes, but an hour is still long, especially when you're bored, you're around people you dislike, and you're in a bad mood because of them. I hate going there, but of course my parents don't mind going... My mom chats with my grandpa and aunt...and my dad reads the Chinese newspapers. And what does Eva do? Nothing. She sits there impatiently and watches the clock.
I was really, really pissed off.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?! The first thing they mentioned once I got there was my HEIGHT. RAAAAAAAWR. >____>;;; I HATE MY HEIGHT.
"Waaah~ She looks like she got taller!" "She seems to get taller everytime she comes!" "Is she six feet tall yet?"

WTF IS THAT. I'm 5'6. 5'6! FIIIIIIIVE' SIIIIIIX". Not even that tall!

In fact, I haven't grown at all recently!! Crap, it's not like my fault that everybody in my family is an effing shrimp! I'm probably the tallest out of my 'close' family. =___=;; I'm even taller than my dad and uncles. It's so shameful. People are always joking by saying how my parents probably got the wrong baby from the hospital. >____>;; That ticks me off so much.

Then after, they dragged me to their friends' house. And that was probably the second most dullest hour of my summer. Mothers chatted and fathers chatted. Eva sat there like a potted plant.

~

This drawing hecka made my day though! =3

It's Syaoran drawn by Kiki[SilverMoooon]. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KIKI! <3 It's sooo cute! x3

~

Happy birthday to Kanon from the J-rock band, An Cafe!

=3 Honestly, Kanon kind of used to scare me, but when I saw him live<3 at Fanime, I thought he was really hot and didn't look scary at all. :D

[Ehe, in fact, all of the An Cafe members generally appear to be scary'ish at first... except for Takuya, of course. =3 He's soo cute and gorgeous in person. :D AND NO PIERCINGS!]

=O Happy birthday to Super Junior's leader, the teuk ee teuk ee angel, Eeteuk!

~

Original Vid Description:

Natsumi Abe- Lulu/japeysan
Yajima Maimi- Eva/ex-waterpixie

Mixing- Eva

*This video is dedicated to Eva.
Her account was waterpixie and a lot of you probably know her, she was like the best tsubasa chronicle amv maker! and had a great voice~~

But she got suspended a few days ago, because youtube was being stupid.
I suck in this dub, but eva sounds really pretty, hope you enjoy it!

~We own nothing but out voices~

This is "Watashi no Koibito na no ni" duet I did with Lulu!
[yt/wp]

Gahh, it's finally finished after so long! It turned really nice. =3 Or at least Lulu's part did. I think I sound annoying. Lol. Like, my high notes are screamed while her's are smooth, see? And when I try to soften my voice, it turns out all airy. I loathe my first two solos. >] Lulu sounds so pretty. *____*

The harmony turned out great! x3 Especially at "yasashiku shite".

But anyway, gahhhh..! >___< Lulu... thank you so much... -touched- Thank you for writing that on the video description and "dedicating it to me". <3

And also, the video. xD TSUBASA CHRONICLE OMG! <3 Totally loooove it. :DDDD And the Miyabi-ness? Yay! She's so pretty. Hahah, and there's even W at the end! Kago! Tsuji!

But what REALLY surprised me was the Super Junior. xDDDD <33
Love love love! But too random! xD

HENRYYYYYYYYY! -diiiiies-

Syaoran, who I was obsessed with for a couple years, and Henry, who I'm practically obsessed with now... Seeing them both in one video is too much for me. Dx

Thank you. =] This video will make me smile every time I watch.
[Please leave a comment here? =3]

Ebah: The Crybaby Pokemon - This weird 14 year-old* girl-like water pokemon has the mind of a three year-old, a really bad temper, and split personality. It is easily amused and enjoys driving through random underground tunnels, while easily bored and complains too much. It gives up easily but can be very stubborn and hard to handle as a child. Its attacks are Sing, which can deafen its enemies because of the horrible voice, and Cry. Its weaknesses are caffeine, insects with eight legs, people who take away her camera, and Ray, because he has cooties**. It can quickly be caught if you hypnotize it with chocolate ice cream or a 3-foot plush of Syaoran from Tsubasa Chronicle.

Roflmao. Man, I was hecka more creative then than I am now.

*I'm 15 now.
**I don't really talk to Ray anymore.

I didn't believe him at all. He's the type to joke.

Besides, all my life my parents never buy me surprises. xD Not even when I was little. I only had a lot of toys because they took me shopping a lot and I was spoiled. That's why for Christmas and birthdays, I always asked them to surprise me.

Today, my dad walked into my room with this huge grin glued on his face and something behind his back and was like, "Your surprise is hereeee~ :DDDD"

AND BAM!

OMGGGG! TSUBASA CHRONICLES ENGLISH DUB VOL 2.<3

Truthfully, I don't like the English dub[except for Vic as Fai!] but I want to collect them. I already have volume 1 and the collector's box for the DVDs. =3 So this makes two!

Gahh, I'm so happy. Lol.

My dad actually did something right. :D Even that part is super surprising. Actually, right now there are only THREE things my dad knows I like: Tsubasa Chronicles, Fahrenheit, and Super Junior M.

^^;;; And he usually does fail at surprises/gifts...
[Ugh, I'm reminded of the Barbie gameboy game my dad got me for Christmas in SEVENTH GRADE. -pretends to puke-]

 
Look at all the awesome Tomoyo-ness. =3 I like her. She's so pretty. I loved her Japanese voice. It was so soft and smooth and pretty. I didn't like her dubbed one.

Tomoyo was a character I liked a lot in Cardcaptor Sakura, too! I can relate to her so much[sorta]. :D
Long black hair, likes to sing, is the 'camera-person' out of friends, likes to dress people up, and likes to have others confide in her.

It was weird .__.

I mean, I'm happy to be able to see Mochiiii<3 in my sleep, but... T.T I hated this dream.
-is shot for being a hopeless fangirl-

So I guess today was the last day of school.

I really don't feel anything about it. Neither happy, nor sad.
Just, I'm going to be a sophomore soon... Freshman year went by too fast. I don't even remember doing anything in the months of March and April. Nothing. I have to reread my blogs to see if those days existed.

I wanted to take lots of pictures today, but I only got a couple pictures of me and my science class buddies. I don't have much to remember this day by.

Afterschool, Kojiru and our friend Tina came over to my house, intending to sing karaoke all day, but that didn't happen. We didn't really do anything, so I have nothing to show you. [Though, it'd be nice to be able to put up some karaoke videos, since my mic isn't working..]

Ahah, I spent the whole day teaching these two about Super Junior-M, Henry, Tsubasa Chronicle[anime], Arashi, Fahrenheit, Hey! Say! 7, Henry, NEWS, and Henry. :DDD Bwuaha! You can't resist my influence.

By the way, my voice is dead and even though it's been really bad for the past 5'ish months, now it's gotten even worse. I can't sing anymore..
I'm not just saying this because I'm not good at singing. I just really can't sing; my vocal cords/throat won't let me.

~

Omg I just found out that I have the same birthday as Sun Mi from Wonder Girls. xD So she's exactly one year older than me. Awesomee. She just shot up my ranks.

I had absolutely NO IDEA what to name this post so I went for Tajima's famous line from Oofuri. I've just come back home from another math exam I probably failed. That was random, I know. So back to the main subject. To try and forget my disappointment about how I did on my test, I've decided to write a post that actually makes some sense for once. The subject being another one of my top favorite seiyuus: Shimono Hiro-san!

On the ranks posted on my about page, he's currently second but he often to levels up to first rank and back down again so you can say he's at the same level as Sakupyon for me. His most recent role in anime is Tadashi in Special A. His other notable roles (that I know at least) are Tajima from Oofuri [Ookiku Furikabutte], Agate from Cluster Edge, Hiro from Ef -a tale of memories- and Subaru from Tokyo Revelations [TRC OVA] ... (but I won't be mentioning Agate again because I gave up on Cluster Edge after two episodes despite its awesome cast)

Between Subaru and Mimio [BLCD (also a manga): Love Neco], I'm not sure what I heard first. Though ironically, both of those characters are of the same genre ... i.e. the cute/quiet types. I'm betting Shimono is better known for his "genki" and high tension characters more but he plays the quiet types well too. This guy's voice is so moe that no matter what character he does (as long as their cute) he'll do well. But Hiro from Ef isn't very moe-inducing though, so I guess he's an exception.

Anyways, whether it was Subaru or Mimio, at that time, I still didn't even know Shimono's name. The first time I listened to something acknowledging his presence was when I gave "Bitter Valentine" a listen. His aegi koe reminded me of something like Kappei's but, unlike Kappei's, I liked Shimono (I'll admit it killed my ear drums the first time ... he's really loud).BUT He's so ADORABLE that I just don't care. Just hearing his voice puts a smile on my face. He kinda lets out that whole "happy" aura, y'know?

Hiro from Ef aside, you don't really hear Shimono do any emotional/dramatic scenes in anime much. I don't even remember Ef that well so I can't use it as an example. Instead, I'll use the BLCDs Honey and the first drama of Hanafuriro [Kimi mo shiranai Jaren no Hate ni] ... where in both there were scenes I thought I was going to cry.

If Shimono was JUST cute, he wouldn't get so far in my ranks [take Takeuchi Ken who's absolutely adorable but never once got me all emotional (the lack of dramas I heard of him might be at fault though)]. The reason I love him so much is that his voice can make me both cry and smile with the same damn character (SHIHO!!! T_T)

And if I were to explain why Shimono beats Kamiyan in my ranks ... well, I wouldn't be able to explain. It's probably because I take moe over everything else. Shimono's moe and Kamiyan's (well, he can be moe like in Hero Academy) more the elegant/cool type? Or something like that.

Also, I absolutely love how Shimono is in the freetalks! The one in Honey and Hanafuriro especially. Oh god, in Honey he was absolutely adorable. He has the cutest laugh I've ever hears and he's just ... just ... MOE! I really can't explain it any other way. In the Hanafuriro one, he was getting teased by Midorin the entire way and .... should I really repeat it? it was so CUTE. OTL. I think I can rephrase this entire most in three words: "Shimono is cute!"

Honestly, the weekly dose of Shimono in S.A isn't enough for me [god knows how much I'm praying for another oofuri season]

(and here's a Izumi pic to end the post ... yes, yes, he's voiced by FukuJun not Shimono but the pic was so GAH! I couldn't help but post it)

(all the pics are from pixiv ^_^)

(sorry they're all Oofuri pics, haha)

(EDIT: My blog's reached 11k views! MAH GOSH! Thank you everyone who passes by XD)

xxxHolic

De hecho creo que el anime no está ni por cerca al nivel del manga que tiene contenidos más densos, una historia mucho más compleja y la interacción con Tsubasa Chronicle. Sin embargo vale la pena verlo, ver el manga en acción tiene un carácter romántico que me parece interesante, Yuko se ve mucho mejor cuando está vestida con colores sin embargo pierde algo de su encantadora crueldad.

Evangelion

He escuchado descripciones de Evangelion como que es una serie sin nada espectacular, un montón de Mechas luchando contra extraterrestres deformes que por alguna casualidad de la vida les dicen ángeles. Sin embargo, creo que hay mucho más que ver, Evangelion cubre todos los flancos por los que se puede tomar una historia: el teológico: (¿Qué hacemos si Dios inicia el Apocalipsis? ¿Defendernos? ¿Aceptar fanáticamente su voluntad?), Psicológico: (Los personajes responden a diversas clasificaciones psicológicas: Shinji representa el ego, Asuka al Id y Rei al Superego, además de que al extender la paleta de personajes nos encontramos con que cada uno ha perdido algo y se encuentra en diferentes etapas de la aceptación de la muerte), a nivel político (la situación entre las diferentes ramas de NERV y como las Naciones Unidas las manipulan, sin mencionar a Seele), la parte frívola de los robots luchando (sin mencionar el hermoso diseño de los ángeles).

Paradise Kiss 

¿Han visto Gossip Girl o una novela mexicana X? Lo que tiende a atraernos a esas historias tan vacías no es la esperanza de que eventualmente adquirirán complejidad sino el morbo (Serena me cae bien pero creo que Blair se roba el espectáculo). Paradise Kiss evoca la misma morbosidad. No nos interesan las enredadas vidas de los personajes sino ver en que terminan sus complejidades amorosas, además de la ropa de diseñador y todo el lenguaje francesamente elegante que usan. Algo interesante de Paradise Kiss es la animación, todavía no comprendo si utilizan fotografías manipuladas de fondo o si son dibujos de horrorosa calidad.

Code Geass 

Creo, al igual que aparentemente todo Japón, que Code Geass es simplemente genial. Code Geass es para el anime lo que para literatura ha sido Saramago, una historia simplemente fantástica que realmente quita el aliento, los cruces, cortes, giros y regresos que da la historia simplemente hacen que la semana esté marcada para los domingos, para poder bajar un nuevo episodio y ver si Lelouch va a seguir siendo terrorista.

Tsubasa Chronicle

He aquí una difícil decisión, de hecho no sé hasta el momento si esta serie merece estar aquí, es buena sí ¿pero está al nivel?. El manga es simplemente genial (amamos el mundo de Infiniti), pero la serie de alguna manera se siente simplemente cursi. En el manga estos personajes están rodeados de las circunstancias más crueles que se puedan imaginar, dolor, pena, pero en el manga de alguna manera todo parece rosado; cualquiera podría decir que es simplemente porque el anime nunca llegó al punto donde todo realmente se empieza a poner feo en el manga, pero aún así... Chi nunca sale en el mundo de la biblioteca, y creo que después de que todos aman a Fye en la serie iba a ser un poco difícil satanizarlo, pero vean Tokyo Revelations.

Ergo Proxy

El virus Cogito infecta robots que después adquieren independencia mental y matan gente, esto pasa en el mundo de ERGO proxy. Sí, es un poco demasiado evidente la referencia a Descartes, pero en realidad la referencia viene dada por el "Despertar" de los robots que se hacen consientes de su propia existencia. En cada episodio de Ergo Proxy la estructura narrativa kse va degenerando, de hecho nunca tenemos una idea completa de que es lo que está pasando, solo se sabe que los Proxys son el origen del mundo y no-se-que otro montón de historias basadas en referencias quiasi filosóficas. Sin embargo, la animación es bella, el episodio de Ophelia está realmente marcado en mi cabeza, y las reestructuraciones de los esquemas de Asimov en I, Robot y de Pinocho, como los términos de descartes, así como el episodio del concurso de preguntas hacen que eventualmente sea algo refrescante.

Kaleido Star

Véase las notas sobre Paradise Kiss. La diferencia de Kaleido Star sobre las demás series que he enlistado es que Kaleido Star tiene un hermoso diseño de personajes, todo se basa en un Cirque du Solei-dano, en el que el personaje principal (cuyo nombre ni siquiera recuerdo) tiene que ser la mejor trapecista del mundo (triste, ¿no?). Lo importante es que lo hace en ambientes diseñados a la perfección. Cuando hacen el espectáculo inspirado en Drácula todo es... estimulante.

Samurai X

De hecho, esta fue la primera serie de anime que realmente vi, sorprendentemente (para Honduras) esta serie la pasaron en Telecadena 7 y 4 enterita antes que en cualquier canal de cable. Es simplemente genial, aunque hay que esperar a que pasen unas cuantas decenas de episodios para realmente comprender la magia. Creo, sin temor a equivocarme, que esta es de las mejores series que han salido, simplemente bella al ojo y con una historia sobresaliente.

Rayearth

Esta la pasaban en Azteca 7 (que de hecho pasaba muy buenas series de anime en sus tiempos dorados), y durante un tiempo me tenía que levantar los sábados y domingos a las 5 de la mañana para poder capturar un episodio. Es importante notar el efecto importante que este anime tuvo en mi imaginario, Ceres (el Magin del agua) todavía anda flotando por ahí, como un rapier azul con empuñadura de dragón. Aparece Mokona, uno de los nuevos símbolos de Clamp (admitámoslo, las dos mokonas es lo mejor de xxxHolic y Tsubasa Chronicles). Todo comienza bien simple y... burdo, pero a medida van pasando episodios todo el diseño de personajes se va estilizando hasta llegar al agonizante Sephiro donde todos se visten con el diseño bandera de Clamp, con esferas de cristal de colores. Las OVAS merecen mucho la pena, especialmente porque loxs diseños de todo se han mejorado exponencialmente (en el anime ellas se mantienen en el pecho de los genios, en las Ovas los genios son algo anoréxicos y ellas los manejan desde esferas en el ombligo).

X

X la descubrí, en su versión OVA, cuando estaban construyendo mi casa. ¿a quién no le impacta la introducción, cuando la madre de Kamui saca la espada del destino de su vientre? la serie nunca pudo superar eso. Los conceptos de dualidad, exagerada complejidad en cada uno de los personajes, Kanoe (el personaje femenino con cabello negro que ocupaba el lugar estelar en mi cabeza antes de que llegara yuko). La introducción en el episodio 0 es suficiente para capturar a cualquiera. Beast v.666, todavía me da escalofríos. Las Clamp realmente se superaron al diseñar esta historia que incorpora todos los elementos escatológicos, de una manera moderna pero en una historia eminentemente clasicista.

Loveless

Algo difícil, solamente puedo decir que la animación es espectacular, pero es mejor la ilustración del anime.

Antes que nada, una breve explicación para los que no conocen este termino:

Los fanfic o fanfiction son historias escritas creadas por fans y para fans utilizando los personajes de series, ya sea de anime, manga, películas, libros, etc. Hay varios tipos de clasificaciones para las historias, desde tipo romance, drama, comedia, hasta yaoi o yuri. También se clasifican las historias que contengan vocabulario fuerte, escenas subidas de tono (que a estas se les denomina Lemon) o hentais.

Después de esta pequeña introducción, para saber de que hablo, les traigo la lista de los fanfics de los que pueden disponer y echarles una ojeada. En estos momentos estoy trabajando en una historia larga de Slam Dunk, donde ya dentro de poco actualizare con el capitulo numero 12. La mayoría de mis historias son cortas, con solo tres largas y una por ahi (que odio admitir que abandone por problemillas) inconclusa.

Una Prueba Diferente de Saint Seiya

Noche de Bodas de Saint Seiya

Un fanfic corto medio subido de tono pero sutil con una de las parejas mas obvias de este anime.

El primero una historia larga de las primeras que hice, primero empezó como una locura de querer hacer una historia ideada por las primas y compañía, y paso a hacer algo mas serio cuando lo empece a publicar.

Corazón en el Bolsillo de INUYASHA

Historia larga que me costo bastante trabajo por estar llena de drama y bastante intensa, que no pude terminar y se quedo con 11capitulos.

Por Ella de Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Esta es otra historia corta romántica que me dedique a hacer cuando no tenia nada que hacer en el trabajo, no pensaba publicarlo peor me gusto como quedo así que lo hice.

Sueños Perdidos de BLEACH

Aunque varios no lo crean, otra fanfic corto de una pareja poco usual en esta serie que en lo particular me gusta mucho y de la cual aun tengo esperanzas de que pase algo interesante jejeje. Esta historia me la pidieron en un foro en el que estoy metida y pos también la hice en el trabajo.

Bajo el Calor del Sol de Slam Dunk

Este fic desde hacia tiempo que lo tenia en la cabeza, pero no me había animado a hacerlo hasta ahora, y esta en proceso con 11 capítulos y un prologo. Una historia poco usual, considerando que solo he encontrado fanfics yaois de esta serie y decidí hacerme el mio NO YAOI y llena de muchas cosas, drama, comedia, un toque de romance.

aquí les dejo el link de la pagina de Fanfiction.net, una pagina dedicada exclusivamente a puros fanfics, donde podrán encontrar de todo tipo y de todas las series, películas y libros que se les ocurra y de varios idiomas.

Expect a very long and detailed post about what I did today, lots of pictures, and TOTAL fangirlling over An Cafe.

I dare you to read it all. :D

[NO. DON'T MENTION THE HEIGHT.]

[EDIT;; I UPLOADED A VIDEO SO CLICK HERE IF YOU WANT.]

Basically I went with Kojiru[Kojirurules]. She picked me up at 7 AM[D:] and we went and got in line for maybe half an hour and were joined by our friend Carla[purpleypenguin; she used to upload fandubs].

When we got in, we separated: me and Kojiru; and Carla and her/our friend Amy.

...FIVE TIMES, me and Kojiru were asked by old guys if they could take a picture of us. ROFL =____=..

That is scary and amazing considering we weren't even really cosplaying at all... We're just Asian girls in skirts and dress shirts and stockings...
Kojiru kept telling me, "Be careful not to get hit on!" but really? O__o Why should I even worry? Not only do guys not like plain-looking, flatchested girls; I don't think they're into tall girls. >____>

LMAO tomorrow Ima search for Fanime pictures and if I see a picture of me, I WILL LAUGH MY ASS OFF. xD -____-;
You know, when I was crossing the street to the civic center, some guy took a picture of me...
Also, when we were in a booth and Kojiru was looking at Gundam stuff, the guy who worked there took pictures of us on his cell phone. O___o It was funny because he was trying so hard to hide his cell, but I saw through him right away because I'm good at hiding things/putting on facades.

D: But we really didn't take as many pictures/videos as I wanted[How many times do I get to go to an anime expo and wear a schoolgirl outfit?!] because Kojiru didn't feel like taking pictures, so I took a lot of pictures of her and only have a couple with me in them. ^^;

There was SO much cosplay. D: I don't even wanna name the special stuff I saw. Oh, but there was one really cute girl dressed up like Amu from Shugo Chara and I thought that was AWESOME.

All of the stuff didn't open until 10, so we killed two hours by exploring, walking around, sitting and playing DS, and watching 20 minutes of the end of the Full Metal Alchemist movie.

I've never seen the movie before[I stopped watching the series 'cause I got scared..], so I did actually cry when I thought Ed and Al were gonna be separated. ^^;

When things started to open, the first place we dived for[but we had to wait in line for a while..] was the Dealers' Room, which is basically a huge exhibit room where they sell tons and tons and tons of anime merchandise. Kojiru's natural habitat.

We were in that room for 2 hours .___. Looking at stuff and shopping. I spent, like, $20 xD And Kojiru spent $80. Ahem.

OH AND OMG! I saw this guy that looked JUST like Sungmin from Super Junior, and he was SOOOOO CUTE! xD

We did walk for a long time without buying anything, but as soon as we saw the Morning Musume trading cards, WE TOTALLY WENT FOR THEM. Momusu at an anime convention?! Cool! :D

We got different cards, so the first pic is mine, and the second is her's.

=O I saw so much Tsubasa Chronicle stuff, oh my gosh... <3 But mostly people sell Mokona stuff.. x__X BUT I DID SEE A LOT OF SYAORAN. YAAY! :D

My new theory is that, if you can't buy it, take a picture of it! :DDDD

This is the Tsubasa stuff I did buy. ^^ Little stuff like pins and keychains.
[It seemed like so much at the time..]

And some of the stuff Kojiru bought. Just some.

Also, I didn't think I would get to see An Cafe['cause everyone got their tickets already D:] so I took pictures related to them.

After finally finishing in the Dealers' Room, we went to the Art Gallery, and OH MAAN, some people are REALLY good at drawing! =O I wanted to get a chibi portrait done but it was expensive. We saw some REALLY cute Full Metal Alchemist keychains, so we bought them 2 for $5. What's awesome about it is that you can choose two different things for the front and back: I got Winry/Ed and Kojiru got Riza/Roy.

=] It's always been like that. Riza's her favorite character and Winry's mine, and we used to associate FMA characters with ourselves. [Plus, me and Kojiru are the violent ones sometimes? ^^;] OH AND LOOK HOW CUTE THIS IS!

After, it was only 2'ish, and we already had nothing to do.. and I was really starting to regret not going for the An Cafe concert since seeing them would probably be a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so me and Kojiru parted ways: she went back to the Dealers' Room, and I went across the street to the Civic Center to see how long the lines were. [I was just gonna check it out..]

There was already a HUUUUUUGE-ass line, and I didn't know what it was for. People told me that they already got their tickets and they're waiting to get in, so I should go to the front and see if they were selling, so I went to the front and wasted a bunch of time there. I asked where and when I could get tickets, and they told me to go back to the convention and ask the information booth. x__X

So I crossed the street back and asked and they said that the line was for both getting in and getting tickets, so I went near the end of the line where a girl told me that a guy at the front of the center was passing out tickets, so I had to walk back to the front and ask and a guy really did give me a ticket! =3 HAH to the girls who waited in line for an hour to get tickets.

The "NO PHOTO / NO VIDEO" part pissed me off.

So then I got in line...[I can't believe I almost was going to wait for FIVE HOURS in that line. I got there at 2 and the concert opens at 7.] There I met this girl who was asking for instructions, so I told her, and I told her I'd save her spot in line while she got her tickets, and we shook hands and hugged and became 'friends'. xD It was so awesomee. [I'm usually very unsocial and people don't like me.]

I sat there. For an hour. Waiting for her to come back. Because I thought it through, and since I wasn't THAT obsessed with An Cafe, I figured that when she got back, I'd just leave and come to the concert late and get bad seats. I wasn't gonna stand there for five hours. I felt bad, so I left a note for her with the other people in line that I talked to. =3 I feel like I fit in. At least here I don't look like a geek. ^^;

Left, me and Kojiru watched the end to the Detective Conan[x___X Ehh..] movie, and we went home for dinner 'cause there was nothing to do.

At 7, I went back for the concert by myself because Kojiru hates rock music. I called Carla and they let me cut. xD I'm so glad. I really didn't mind if they were last in line; I just didn't wanna be alone.

AND OH MY GOSH. When we got up front they were like, "No cameras," and I already knew that; I thought keeping your camera in your bag or pocket was okay, but they were like, "No, you can't get in if you have a camera." -____-; So I called my dad to come back and pick up my and my friend's cameras. What a pain.

Luckily, they did let us go back in right away after instead of making us go to the end of the line[AHEM. THREE BLOCKS AWAY?!].

I don't even know WHERE to start for the concert.

OH. MY. FCKING. GOD.

I JUST SAW AN CAFE IN PERSON!!!! OH MY GOD! OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODDDD!!!!! >_____< -diiiies-

I am one of the LUCKY 3,000 PEOPLE to see An Cafe's FIRST PERFORMANCE IN USA. KYAAAAAAAH!

It was so thrilling. Well, it wasn't THAT thrilling but I was amazingly excited for a band I hardly know anything about. =3

I'm REALLY new to An Cafe[cough, I knew them before, but didn't check out their music until after I found out they'd be at Fanime, cough] but I know enough to be able to name them all by face and recognize one song by name. :D

But now, LORD KNOWS I LOVE THIS BAND. <3

I'd just like to say something, and that is: OMG THEY ARE ALL SOOOOOO ADORABLEEEEE! And Takuya is GORGEOUS in person. GORGEOUS.

Their opening act was Ramen & Rice, a violin-cello duet. And being a violin-player, I totally admire them.. They're SO talented and it was soo beautiful. >__< I was moved. I totally freaked out when they played Simple and Clean and Sakura Kiss.

This is basically the first concert I've ever went to and I never expected to ever go to a rock concert, but then again this is J-rock, so I guess..nah. Never was too much into J-rock. Anyway, we had a choice to either sit in the terraces or stand in the mob-pit. We stood in the mob-pit. :D

It was SO CRAZY. Our other friend, who's INSANELY obsessed with them, wrestled and crawled her way to the front, but me and Carla smartly stayed in the middle-back. I mean, we were STILL SO CLOSE TO THEM. D: And gosh, I had so much room to myself xD So happy. Everyone else was pushing and shoving.

This is the first time in my life I've ever been glad that I'm tall. Ever.

I heard a BUNCH of girls go, "I can't see ANYTHING! Why do people have to be so tall?!" and I could see EVERYTHING CLEARLY. <3 I saw them all and I watched them all through the concert and gawdddd.<3

OH MY GOD. I can't believe I was standing there jumping up and down with my hands waving and clapping, with this HUUUUGE grin on my face, and occasionally screaming. =3 It was so much fun. I lost my voice.

Man, the music was unbelievably loud, but I guess I should've seen that coming. I thought I was gonna be deaf by the end of the concert. Actually right now my ears are ringing a little..x___X I hope that isn't permanent. Well who cares! I SAW AN CAFE KYAHHHH!!

OH MY GOSH me and Carla TOTALLY FREAKED OUTTTTTTT when they started playing Kakusei Heroism. That is my FAVORITE An Cafe song ever. I screamed SO MUCH and I jumped until my chest hurt so much it felt like I ran two miles. My arms and legs and throat are sore.

When I first checked out An Cafe's stuff, I was really freaked out. [Bou's so girly. T.T] Not only did they scare me, I didn't understand WHY Miku was the lead singer. He sang so..weirdly. But then I heard Kakusei Heroism where he sang NORMALLY, and I understood why he was their vocalist immediately.

Miku is such a talented person. <3 He is SO, SO, SOOOOO AMAZING LIVE. He spent an hour and a half up there jumping and SCREAAAAAMING. Not just the lyrics, but he kept shouting something like "Jump!" which made EVERYONE jump up and down like insane zombies.

And Miku is SO CUTE. I SWEAR. HE IS SO CUTE.

When I watched An Cafe stuff online and saw their pictures, I thought Miku was kinda cute, but I thought he looked kinda..awkward/weird. But now, I THINK HE IS SOOOO ADORABLEEEEEEEEE!

Miku's English is SO ADORABLE. SO ADORABLE. SO ADORABLE~~

"I'm so grad to be hear today."
"Sankyu fow inviting me hear."
"We sooooo happy."

His voice itself is SO CUTE and then his Japanese-accented English is sooooooo adorableeeeeee <333333 I could just die. I was screaming and laughing and squealing like hell. Too bad I couldn't understand most of the things he said. He is so cute.

In fact, all of them are SO CUTE. I never noticed before.

When everybody made their introductions, it was the cutest thing ever... I never knew everyone had such CUTE VOICES. And their English is so adorable; just as adorable as Miku's. Seriously. They all have really cute voices.

"Herro. My name iz Takuya. Letz make tonight a speshil night!"

Before, I didn't like the way Teruki looked. But he is really, really cute when he smiles. :D They should take more pictures smiling.

And Kanon.. I used to dislike his hair, but now I think he's kinda hot!

AND YUUKI. The boy that lots of people hate, and needs to get a new haircut and get rid of his shades! He used to scare me. But now I like him too. =3 There was one part where he had a keyboard solo, and it was so beautiful... everybody was quiet and waved their arms slowly and he played it so beautifully. I was watching the screens which gave a REALLY close close-up on his face, and I just thought, "He belongs."

Oh and while Miku was singing, Yuuki, who's all dressed in pink, does the MOST RIDICULOUS things in the back! xD It's so cool.

Speaking of ridiculous, Miku does the most ridiculous things with his hair on stage LOL.

God, Miku is cute. x3 In one song, he brought out these pom-poms and it was the stupidest, yet cutest thing I've ever seen in person.

AND OH MY GOSH. In the middle of one song, he took a waterbottle, drank out of it, spit it out at the crowd, and threw the waterbottle into the crowd. THAT WAS SO AWESOME.

Kanon did the same thing too, and he threw a guitar pick as well!

At the end, Miku kept saying, "Last song," and I was hecka sad about that x[ After they left, we all stood there for a minute shouting, "AN CAFE!" and clapping and stomping and stuff, until they FINALLY came back and gave us an encore. =]

It ended with Miku saying, "I promise I'll be back! Sankyou!"

Right now I have the ticket stub in a zip bag. xD I shall keeps it forevers!<3

NYAPPY~.

~

PS;; =O Our friend who crawled her way to the front got HIT BY MIKU'S SPIT. AND TOUCHED KANON'S PICK. Until some girl bit her[I saw the teeth marks; it was crazy..] so she let go of the pick.

My throat hurts so much, and my legs are so sore. x__X

Oh and I WILL put up videos later. =3 [I need sleep.]

Ugh, what a bad picture. Forgive me; I didn't have many options.

By now you obviously know of my obsession with yaoi ... because otherwise, you wouldn't be here. But what is it about my cute adorable ukes that I love so much? Sure their personality, faces and voices are enough to K'O me in a heartbeat. But there's another thing ... If for fanboys its melonpan or ankles or whatever then for me its THIN WAISTS! Bishie's aren't bishies without thin waists. I mean look a Kira's waist! -fawns- Yeah, my thought pattern isn't making much sense anymore but bear with me. I've been having Thin Waists overload for a while now.

Kamui's waist is my first waist-love <3 -fawns- OH THE THIN-NESS

Most recent waist obsession: Hiroki! I MEAN LOOK AT HIM!!!! GAAAH ~

(Runner Ups: the entire cast of Saint Beast .... yummy waists)

Fast eineinhalb Jahre nach Komplettierung der ersten Staffel können ausgehungerte Fans aufatmen: Anime Virtual veröffentlicht ab dem 28. Juli die zweite Staffel im 2-monatigen Rhythmus. Als Grund für die anhaltenden Verzögerungen gibt der Publisher Bereitstellungsprobleme des japanischen Zulieferers zu Protokoll. Mittlerweile ist das notwendige Filmmaterial in Berlin eingetroffen und die Produktion läuft auf Hochtouren. Im gleichen Atemzug vermeldete das Label, dass Shaolans ursprünglicher Sprecher Konrad Bösherz aufgrund eines einjährigen Auslandsaufenthaltes für die Rolle nicht mehr verpflichtet werden konnte. Stattdessen tritt David Turba (u.a. Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist) in seine Fußstapfen . Wir meinen: eine unglückliche Geschichte, aber ein würdiger Ersatzsprecher und die optimale Entscheidung.
