    Update! (And some TWEWY love~)
    Monday, May 5, 2014 | 0 comments
    It is I
    Hello everyoneeeee!!~ (^人^)
    How are you guys?

    Me?

    My summer has been quite uneventful, I must say....

    I WASN'T ABLE TO GO TO OZINE FEST ASDFGHJKL (T^T)

    AND MY SUMMER WAS NOT SPENT WISELYYYY


    Well anyways, let's forget about that because I don't want to remember that another year of indirect mental torture studying draws near... Σ(゚д゚lll)


    So yeah. Recently, a friend introduced me to this game called The World Ends With You (Abbreviated as TWEWY).
    AND I AM CURRENTLY VERY ADDICTED TO IT. ( * u * )
    Characters from left to right: Joshua, Neku, Beat (on top), Shiki, Rhyme


    I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GAME. LIKE, SERIOUSLY.
    The characters, the art, the soundtracks -- I love them all! I love the story line, too (and the fact that Square Enix is one of the game's developers >u< I like most of Square Enix's works~)!

    Anyways, TWEWY is set in a Shibuya. Neku Sakuraba (a.k.a. main character, and the one you'll be controlling), an antisocial and emo-ish teenage boy wakes up at Scramble Crossing (a place in Shibuya) without any recollection of any of his memories or of what happened to him (in short, he has an amnesia at a very convenient time. Sigh... main characters... *shakes head*).
    He wanders around and a girl (named Shiki) ran to him and suddenly asked him to make a pact with her. Of course, if you had amnesia then it would be troubling, no? Shiki explained to Neku that they were in the Reapers' Game and they have to make a pact if they want to survive, and fight Noise (the "monsters" in the game), ect. ect. ect.
    Well... that's kinda how it started.

    And here's the setting and themes of the story, according to the Wiki:
    The setting of The World Ends with You is heavily based on the Japanese city of Shibuya, including major landmarks like the Scramble Crossing. It even has the same currency, Yen (¥), which is used in shops. Many elements of the game are also based on Japanese culture, including the food, fashion and artwork in the game.

    This game makes me want to go visit Shibuya someday!~ ^_^

    Anyways, if I were asked who my favourite character was... I probably can't decide. Each character is really awesome. (But I am a bit into Joshua right now. He's sly and mysterious and Ikindathinkheisabitcoolokdontjudgeme) (>//u//<)
    But I'm kinda into Beat as well... He's quite entertaining and he's a bit tsundere~ Oh what to do, what do do...? #fangirlproblems

    And! I thought Rhyme was a boy... But she's actually a girl! I was surprised~ >u< She kinda looked boyish... But heck. She's cool.
    Oh, and Rhyme is Beat's sister! But Rhyme does not know because her memories are Beat's entrance fee!
    ^ Spoilerrrr >_< Highlight if you want to see it ^_^

    And Neku! Such character growth! He used to be sooooooooooooo emo, but as the game progresses, he becomes a better person <3 (also, I like his outfit)

    AND
    I kinda like Sho Minamimoto, the second week's game master. (Yes, there was a second week.
    ... Oops. Spoiler >_<)
    I don't know why I even like him. His statements are too vague and cryptic, and he always cracks math jokes (hence his nickname, Pi-Face). And I suck at math >_>
    But then again, all the characters in the game are likable.
    ... Well, Neku might be a bit annoying at first but he gets better ^_^

    Also, the battles... Yes, they were very challenging indeed. That's a very steep mountain you'll have climb before you'll be able to be an expert at it. Honestly, they intimidated me at first. Controlling two characters is no easy task. But, you'll get used to it after playing long enough, I guess. 
    I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME
    I RATE IT FIVE OUT OF FIVE
    Anyways, I do think this game is very very good. It's worth a try~

    On a side note, I started watching Brothers Conflict a couple of days ago (I'm currently on episode 4)...
    I can't believe I'm actually jealous of Ema! >.< I kinda like Fuuto, Louis, Yusuke and Subaru... Huehuehuehuehue >_<

    So.. I guess that's it for today! Thank you everyone for reading, if you still are~ Sorry for being fangirl-y today >_<
    See you guys next time! ( ^-^)/

    Just an update ☆

    Hello again, everyoneee! ( ^-^)/
    It is I!

    JGH from youth camp last week!~ It was awesome! The place was so cold and windy though (`ω´ )
    Anyways, Ozine Fest is just around the corner~ Anyone going? I want to, but none of my friends will go... (T ^ T) Ugghhhh... It can't be helped... The venue is kinda far, after all (SM Mall of Asia)

    Anyways, how're you all? ^_^




    Hi guysss ^_^

    Heyyy there everyone ヽ(*^_^)ノ♪
    It is I
    Sorry for lack of posts. Even if it's summer and all and I have a colossal amount of free time. Like, seriously. I don't even have anything share-worthy to tell you guys. Everyday's the same old same old >_<

    Anyways, because of that free time, I have stumbled upon what anime fangirls call otome games.
    Apparently, they're like anime-styled dating sims for the female audience.
    Ok, so I tried playing one.
    AND
    OHMYGLOB
    THE GUYS
    THE GUYS ARE AWESOME AND HANDSOME  \(*u*)/

    I never thought that I would ever say to myself "I hope senpai will notice me"
    And this isn't even about a real-life guy >u< So... Just FYI, the otome game I played is called Girlish Love Revolution! (Love Revo for short)

    Lately, I also began catching up on my manga reading. I started reading this series called Liar Game. It's very veryyy interesting so far. Akiyama is awesome (he reminds me of Light Yagami. They look really similar IMO >u<)
    I'm also catching up on Skip Beat! It's really cool ^_^ The main girl, Kyoko Mogami, is so funny >u< She's so clueless that Ren and Corn is the same person LOL Spoiler alert
    (You can read Skip Beat! here, and Liar Game here)

    Hahahahahaha, just sharing my boredom to you guys. Anyways, how are your summer breaks? Did anything interesting happen, or are just as bored as me (or maybe even more?)?

    Anime review: K Project
    Thursday, March 13, 2014 | 0 comments
    It is I. Hello everyone ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
    So..... IT'S OFFICIALLY THE END OF OUR EXAMS OH YESSSSS WOOHOOOO SUMMER HERE I COMMMEEEE (> u <)

    Ahaahahaha (> u <) Anyways, the anime community is a bit hyped about K Project's upcoming movie. The title was revealed yesterday (or not. At most, maybe a few days ago). Honestly, I loooove K Project (Isana Yashiro is <3), so I'm really looking forward to the movie, which is expected to be released next year.
    I guess I'll review the anime for now. :D (sorry if it's a pretty amateur review.... I'll try to do better next time) Ok, so let's begin~

    Anime title: K Project
    Main characters from left to right: (starting at the second row) Izumo Kusanagi, Yata Misaki, Mikoto Suoh, Seri Awashima, Reisi Munakata, Saruhiko Fushimi
    (first row) Isana Yashiro, Anna Kushina, Neko, Kuroh Yatogami

    Synopsis: So technically it's about Isana Yashiro, a highschool boy studying in Ashinaka High School which is a bit outside the area of Shizume City, a technologically-advanced place. He's pretty normal, except he always forgets his school-issued PDA (or does he not have one to begin with *hint, hint*). So while going to the city to but stuff needed for their school festival, he gets chased by a group of people called HOMRA and tries to kill him. Turns out they believe he's the murderer that killed one of their clan mates.
    But wait! Plot twist! It turns out that Isana Yashiro was possessed by the Silver King (it's complicated. Watch the anime to understand it >_<) while he did that.


    Characters
    Rating: 4/5
    The characters are likable. I personally loved the characters. I can't get enough of Isana's aloof personality and Yata's tsundere-ness (he's so cold to people but then he turns out to be a gentleman <3). Overall, the characters are good and have their own personality that definitely matches each of them (but please, keep your clothes on Neko). As for character development, it's just pretty average. Not too good and not too bad.

    Art, Music and Animation
    Rating: 5/5
    Gohands (the studio that produced K Project) did a good job. Animation is good. Transitions from scene to scene are usually smooth. The art is also really cool. The backgrounds are very nice. Well-detailed, not to bright nor dim. The nature blends in with the urban surrounding, which is good. The music is also has that "mysterious" yet calm vibe to it to balance the busyness of a city. Sort of like a calm before the storm. Just the right ambiance for the story.

    Storyline
    Rating: 3.5/5
    It seemed rushed. I didn't understand some parts of the story. 13 episodes is too short for it, in my opinion. They could've at least extended to 20 episodes or more so that it can be explained properly.

    Verdict:
    K Project is above average. It's not your usual anime plot. Good art, good music, good story. I just wish that they made more episodes for it, then I think the anime would be easier to understand, and it would be nicer overall. I definitely like the story, no question in that. Characters are also good, but needs more development. I suggest that if you don't fancy deep, complicated plots, avoid this one. If you don't mind it, then by all means please go check it out (^_^) So I guess my overall rating for K Project is 3.9/5.



    So yeah! :D If you guys have any comments and suggestions, or if you have something to say about the anime K Project, then please feel free to leave a comment. I won't bite ^_^
    See you guys around!~ ヽ(´・u・`)、

    IT IS I
    HELLO EVERYONE. I'm sooooo sorry again for inactivity. I was cramming studying for my exams and was busy filling in requirements and things :(
    But anyways, it's gonna be our freedom from the military our summer vacation in two more days ^_^ I'll be having more time, more posts and probably do some anime, book, or game reviews (and maybe a vlog? Hmmm let me think about that) if I feel like it :D

    So yeah. Later, bros ( ^-^)/

    FEEAATUURREEEE!!!: my friend (10 things you should know)
    Tuesday, February 4, 2014 | 0 comments
    HAAAIIII EVERYOOOONNEEE!!!!

    It is I

    It has been quite a while hasn't it? I've been a bit lazy I was busy with school stuff a bit.... So yeah.
    Ok
    I want to make a small tribute to my bro, Jillian (she runs her own blog as well!~ You can check it out here)

    So
    This is Jillian, my classmate


    For one thing, she is TALL. Like, when I talk to her I have to tilt my head up. How does she get that tall seriously. I AM JELLY. I salute her tallness. Seriously.

    She is also quite studious. Once, I took a peek at her score at the Chinese test we had, HER SCORE. SHE GOT JUST ONE MISTAKE. ONE!!! She is smart! I salute her smartness. And on a side note, her handwriting is FABULOUS

    But despite her smartness, she can have a bit of a short time memory. An example. I kept bugging her for her picture for this post. She forgot to send it to me until a week later (>_<)

    Interesting to note, her fingers are reaaaaaaaaaaally long.

    Jillian loves fashion (^_^)

    She said she looks Korean even if she is Chinese (like meeeee >u<)
    Most people mistake her as Korean. I wonder why.
    Another thing, she likes eating. She eats sweets. A LOT. But she doesn't get fat! WHYYYYYYYYY
    She has quite the metabolism.

    She likes singing and art in general. She doesn't like dancing though. I don't know why.
    I'll give her credit for her skill at drawing (especially clothes)


    She is not flexible. I guess that's why she doesn't like dancing....

    To end on a positive note, Jillian is very ambitious and persistent. A good example would be when I have candy and food, she would always bug me to give her some and I have to give her some....


    So... Yeah. BROFIISSTTT!~

    IT IS I!!! \(^o^)/

    I AM BACK FROM THE DEAD!!! :D
    HELLO AGAIN EVERYONE I MISSED EVERYONE LIKE OHMYGLOB IT HAS BEEN A CENTURY ALREADY

    Well, anyway...
    LOL my friend and I were supposed to make a vlog... but me and my pal weren't able to direct and manage doing it properly... in the end, all our shots were epic fails, and the only one worth presenting is the title scene which is just plain capital letters on a white background

    So how was everyone's new year? LOL Pretty late already though (>_<)
    Recently, I've been hooked into reading fanfics in wattpad. And light novels. I'm starting to love light novels as well...

    Well, yeah. Just here for a tiny update to assure you guys I'm struggling to survive while my state is hovering over comatose still alive~
    So yeah. See you guys around. Stay awesome, bros (^_^)b
