    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

    Inactive... (._.)

    It is I. Hello again, everyone~
    I am quite inactive, am I not? I'm really sorry everyone orz
    Sigh... the third quarter of the schoolyear is SUUUUPER hectic. I just can't find time to post (or I'm too lazy LOL).
    So anyway, I'm here to just cool off a little from all my work. I'm very much tired from all this. I can't remember the last "school night" that I was able to sleep a full 8 hours. Yes, it's that tiring. Maybe even more.

    I want to watch Kuroko no Basuke (.-.) I need my rest. And maybe I should catch up on my sleep. That'd be nice... But I guess I have to roll up my sleeves and work hard for now (well, I guess every day in school is like that so... yeah)

    Well, I guess that's it for my little rant. I'll be back soon, bros~ (>_')/

    About Blogging
    Friday, November 8, 2013 | 0 comments
    Its is I. Hello and good day, everyone!!~ ヽ(^▽^)人(^▽^)人(^▽^)ノ

    Alright.
    So last Tuesday, our blogging club had a guest speaker to share to us her experiences regarding blogging and stuff to take to mind when we blog.
    Anyway, this person I talk of is Ms. Patty Laurel (You can visit her blog here)
    She's a nice person >u< Real friendly~
    Ok, so let me summarize and talk about what I've learned.

    I'm partly doing this 'cause it's required for club LOL

    ANYWAY...
    To start things off, I'd like to talk about what to remember whenever you blog.
    Ms. Laurel said that we should remember that whatever we put up online stays online. Because this is the internet, everyone can gain access to whatever you put on your blog. It's hard to take back what has been said. For example, you badmouth someone on the net. People can see that. The person you've badmouthed about will be hurt, of course. It will be equally hard to say sorry to him/her, since you practically announced it on the internet.
    It is also important to regard your own privacy. I mean, you just DON'T share your address to everyone. It'd be creepy if some stranger just visits your house and be like "Hey I'm here to visit you"
    Like what the heck, right?
    It's also important to be true to yourself. When you post images on your blog, make sure to state sources if it's not yours. And be honest with your pictures! Don't photoshop it to give yourself blue eyes and whatnot.
    Also, make sure that whatever you write down is honestly what you think. It is best to come clean, because whatever you put up can be used against you.

    Well, there are a lot of other stuff actually. I just thought you might get bored with my speech, so I'll cut it short.

    To sum up:
    In blogging...
    1. Be honest with what you write. As much as possible, do not pretend
    2. Think if what you're writing can hurt someone
    3. Be careful of what you put up
    4. Learn to differentiate constructive criticism from comments that are just meant to make you feel depressed
    5. Blog because that's what you honestly really enjoy doing

    So.... That's kinda about it, bros~ Thanks also to Ms Laurel for spending time to share with us her blogging experiences!~
    Leave a comment and stuff.... Much appreciated >_<
    Thanks for reading and see you dudes next time~ (~ ^o^)~ ~(^o^ ~)


    Halloween is Near
    Tuesday, October 29, 2013 | 0 comments
    It is I. Good evening everyone. ( ^‿^)ノ
    SO
    Let me get straight to the point
    Any of you going trick or treating? >_<
    I WANNA GO BUT I MIGHT GO HYPER ASDFGHJKL
    I'd like to go myself. Unfortunately, I think I may not be able to finish all that candy.

    (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ CAAAAAAANDYYY

    So.... Just a little trivia to kick start the evening (please correct me if I'm wrong LOL):
    Halloween is an old Celtic celebration that's supposed to be like for scaring away evil spirits and stuff  every year *I guess that's why they wear all those creepy costumes* Also, Halloween was first called All Hallows Eve.

    Personally, I don't like Halloween. If you know me personally then you might be kinda surprised, since I always talk about gore and stuff.
    But yeah. I don't like Halloween. Like, SERIOUSLY. I can't handle all those horror stuff. I mean, I can totally handle anime like Another. No sweat. But horror movies with real-life actors? NOPE. Not over my dead body. I am totally weak to those. They scare me to my second death. (✖  _____  ✖)

    For the most part, the only real reason I'm ok with Halloween is that we have a legit reason to go house-to-house for some free sweets. (≧∇≦) Candy is awesome.
       CANDY IS SO GOOD AND SO YUMMYYYYYYY  
    So yeah. My only real plans for Halloween? Watch some anime (anything that's NOT gore or mystery and stuff), stay away from TV (because there'll surely be halloween specials on each channel) and last but not the least:

    PRAY (because God will always be there to comfort us in our time of need)


    So, how do you guys spend Halloween? (¬‿¬)
