aw man I totally forgot about this place, totally

Me on the middle after Yuno h4x'd me for being late

Okay let’s see. First I apologize for forgetting about the mirai nikki stuff, but still no prediction of when I’ll pick it up again.

Second, wrap up of the past season:

  • Haruka Purezza: it’s going somewhere, I can tell, third season plz.

Spoilers: this is totally misleading like the whole series etc

  • Kampfer: lol dumb end for dumb series. (THE LIGHT NOVELS ARE SUPERIOR)
  • Seitokai no Ichizon: I laughed I cried I moe~’d, A++ would watch again (or a second season)

Best character?

  • Sasameki Koto: cool, shame it’s an ongoing manga so no real end.
  • Nyan Koi!: hated the cats hated the cats hated the cats (character design and personalities were cool tho)

stalker twin 4 lyf

And finally, for what I picked up for this season:

  • Baka to Test to Whatever: oh god I hate the plot but why does it look so gooood? and the characters are cute and the animation is well done and it’s colorful and fff

Word on the street former SHAFT folks are working on baka test, I love how it looks.

  • Chu-Bra!: most likely candidate for me to drop, lol little girls lecturing on underwear
  • Dance Dance Vampire Revolution: thought it would be the best series this season, and it looks great (<3 SHAFT’s antics), but I hope they don’t stray too much away from the manga. I’d feel cheated it that happened.

She's cute, that's a plus right?

  • DRR!!: Interesting look, lots of characters, could go anywhere. One to watch for.
  • Hanamaru Youchien: kindergarten kodomo no jikaaaaaan
  • Ladies vs Butlers: more like Kanokon 2: the maido’s revenge (dumb fanservice but interesting-ish nonetheless)

Flameheart is my favorite character so far. Not for weird reasons, she's just funny okay?

  • Omamori Himari: so generic but I love it! shame the animation/character design is not even close to the quality of the manga. Seems like it will be a bad series but I like bad stuff ._.

p.bad animation, but cool nonetheless

  • Sora no ウォト: aw man it looks awesome, and and watching it feels good. In b4 endless comparisons with K-On!, but whatever, I like it a lot.

the owl compressed itself? I lol'd!

So yeah 8 new series plus old stuff that I’m still watching as Bakemonogatari (shaft what the fuck get the new episode out already), Kimi ni Todoke (sawako what the fuck murder kurumi already ._.), Sister Princess (need to progress on that lol) and finally the new-ish addition of Onegai Twins

Moe potential twins with Kagamine Rin/Len uniforms? Sign me up bruv. Also the student council pres is awesome

Yeah, lots of stuff, added to the fact that classes have started, I wonder when I’ll have time to keep this up.

Aw man and I didn’t even mention the manga I started… well I’m running out of space anyway.

Release: Mirai Nikki 30

terrorist life protips

Same drill as with chapter 29, better quality scans, reworded and retranslated in some parts. Noteworthy:

  • In page 45, Yukki’s dad says “Acchi” (アッチー), which we believe is slang/dialect for “Atsui” (あつい), “hot”. Old scans had just left it as “Acchie.”
  • During the exercise sequences, they stretch the vowels when counting, “ooone”, “twooo” was the best way to keep that imo, sorry if it looks weird. :P
  • In page 49, it looks like the balloon is Minene’s, but the text is Yukki speaking, so yeah.
  • Page 52 had a new balloon compared with the magazine!
  • In page 70, the previous scans had those balloons as being Yukki’s. While it’s not entirely clear, the way Kurou is addressed there points to them being Minene’s, so I adjusted them as such.
  • The letter in page 71 was retranslated, original scans mentioned school and work, both of which weren’t there. Blaming that on hard to read handwritten kanji on bad quality magazine scans, lol.
  • Page 74 had “kachou” (課長), which is the term Nishijima uses to refer to the 4th, all other scans around have that as “captain”, so I kept it like that. Same for the orphanage’s name on 73.

Aaaaand hopefully that clears up the differences between the original Twilight Scans and this release, for those comparing them (I know you are.)

Release: Mirai Nikki Chapter 29

wat? Releases? In my NEO ZEED Marine Stronghold? More likely than you think.

Yuno is moe~

I was discontent with the quality of the current scanlations for Mirai Nikki from chapter 29 onwards. So I decided to re-edit those myself using tankobon raws. Note that I have no experience in manga scanlating. Summary of changes compared with the previously available ones:

  • Used tankobon raws with much better quality
  • Yukkie (wtf) was fixed to Yukki when applicable
  • Sakura Mei City was fixed to Sakurami
  • Small grammar changes (these vs. those, etc.)
  • Reworded a couple lines (always trying to keep the original meaning naturally)
  • Used a better font (in my opinion) (Wild Words + Hiragino Kaku Gothic Latin for Screens, got any suggestions of a better ones?)
  • Translated a previously untranslated phone screen (0025.jpg, if you want to try spotting a mistranslation)

I mostly did it for my own collection, but thought I’d share it. I may or may not do more chapters, depends on if I have time etc. Okay yeah I’ll definitely finish vol. 7 I only wanted to get this one out cause calling him Yukkie was too much for me :(

Anyway, download link: MediaFire; Links because nobody will type the ones in the credits page: Raws, Original Scans, Proofreader

New Haruhi Disappearance Trailer: omfg

Appeared in http://www.haruhi.tv/ this afternoon. omfg can’t fucking wait. it’s happening for real ;_;

hnnnnnng

sdfgdx

itt I finally play the Kanon VN. Nayuki is so my favorite girl

Oh and just so this isn’t a useless post, found the files for the alarm clock sounds:

朝〜朝だよ〜 (hnnnng)
朝ご飯食べて学校行こよ〜 (hnnnnnng)

The file names have the number, so I could probably try looking for those once I download that 1.7gb hi-fi voice rip.

(brb setting that as my phone alarm clock tone)

Experiments in Korean

I have a PSP, it’s true it’s true, why do I have one when I must have played like just a couple hours in the two years I have it, I do not know. ANYWAY I downloaded a couple DJ MAX games just because this dude recommended it to me after I linked a Elite Beat Agents video on this irc room, saying it looks nifty. I suck at rhythm games so dunno. ANYWAY I digress enough back story, I fell in love with a song from Black Square.

<3

But yes me with my absolute 0 knowledge of korean, was amused by it, I even cut ripped a piece of audio from the game, the rainbow note voice overs that sound totally awesome (uploaded under an unfortunate name here). But of course, I wanted the lyrics.

I was searching for the lyrics, and somehow I missed the one Google Search result that had them transcribed. Instead, I downloaded a rar with CD scans that had the lyrics on HongFire

멜로디ㅣㅣㅣㅣㅣ~

Sexy, exciting, squares and circles, and most certainly confusing. With my trusty OS X running, I went to the inputs menu and picked the one that stroke my fancy. HNC Romaja.

aa

Oh and apparently my computer is in Japanese too.

With a little stumbling, I came up with:

둘만의 멜로디

어느 것 하나 의미없던 나 매일매일 똑같운
그란 내 곁에 다가와준 네가 있어 웃던 나
보잘 갓 없는 풍경들도 네가 바꿔 주었지
고마 웠어 내 이런 마음 알잖아

항상 둘이라고 해도 슬픈 일덜은 싫은걸
눈물아 나도 그래도네가 있어 다행이야

기억나잖아 우리가 했던 약속들 빛나던 우리의 눈물이
지나간 상처가 있대도 내 맘 언재나 너만 보여
들려오잖아 너와 함께라면 언제나 들리는 둘만의 멜로디
너와 나 둘이서 함께한 행본을 언제나 마음속에서 느끼고 싶은걸

둘만의 멜로디
너와의 멜로디

køøl køøl, I guessed. I had promised myself not to Google Search it before at least completing it, but now that I did, Google Translate time. It gave me a hilarious line “You and me together in my mind pretty much always feel that I’d like to haengboneul” (if you know what I mean), so yeah. Okay so now I googled the first sentence, and found a cool page with the real lyrics. (Google Cache because lol internet). So the real lyrics would be…

둘만의 멜로디

어느 것 하나 의미없던 나 매일매일 똑같은
그런 내곁에 다가와준 네가 있어 웃던 나
보잘것 없는 풍경들도 네가 바꿔 주었지
고마웠어 내 이런 마음 알잖아

항상 둘이라고 해도 슬픈 일들은 싫은걸
눈물이 나도 그래도 네가 있어 다행이야

기억나잖아 우리가 했던 약속들
빛나던 우리의 눈물이
지나간 상처가 있대도
내맘 언제나 너만 보여
들려오잖아 너와 함께라면
언제나 들리는 둘만의 멜로디
너와나 둘이서 함께한 행복을
언제나 마음속에서 느끼고 싶은걸

둘만의 멜로디
너와의 멜로디

I wasn’t that far from it were I? (yes I was fuck you) (anyway I’d link a google translate of the real lyrics, but you can copy paste right?)

bah

Bored/procrastinating from college work, so here’s a update post:

the original moe hair flying up when surprised

the original moe hair flying up when surprised scene

Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer: See, who says I don’t watch old classics? Finally got that out of the to-watch queue, and it is pretty awesome! Not knowing much about the rest of the Urusei Yatsura franchise kinda adds to the what is going on feeling, much like a dream. (deep)

sake sister

Sake is the retina of the eye to your soul.

Chocotto Sister: Was repeatedly recommended it as a lolicon anime, it is nothing of the sorts, just a “:3 at the sister” anime. Good, but forgettable, I am four episodes into it and had almost forgotten about it already :P

wait what

huuuh

I think I was watching the To LoveRU OVAs (did I get the capitalization right?) but I can’t say I remember it now.

shot0001

>:|

KissxSis episode 2 (actually episode 3 since the first one was episode 0, fuck japan etc): Japan sure loves teh pissing anime. Shame, there’s only like two chapters in the manga to which pissing is important, but I can tell the upcoming TV series will be fucking Juuden-chan season 2.

Usual seasonal stuff:

dat pose

Uiharu might be moe, but something still strikes me as wrong about that series.

Railgun (8): the “plot” thing is kinda annoying me, Kuroko is the only reason why I still watch it.

never

Pretty much :(

Seitokai no Ichizon (7): Aka-chan is moe~.

lol the art is too baaad

Now for something contrasting with the character design above.

Kimi ni Todoke (7): Ganbate, Sawako ;_;

kampfer8-kaichooou

The president is awesome.

Kampfer (8): The president… actually scratch that everybody in this series is awesome, yet Natsuru is so completely retarded. Shame it will never end in anything.

so cute

hnnnnnnnnnng

Nogizaka Haruka no Etc ~Season 2~ (7): Even though the last episode was Shiina-centric, Haruka still gets the screenshot, they’re too perfect of a couple D:. But yes, prediction: by the end of this series, even Nobunaga will have teh homolust for Yuuto, dude’s too much of a gentleman.

Whew was that all? Maybe I shouldn’t have added a screenshot for every series… oh well.

guess what bitches

adads

you herd me

Wow I’ll never write a huge post here again (lol yeah)

So so so yes I’m watching shit that’s seasonal and stuff but that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I just finished two old series yesterday and today and I would like to tell you about them. You? >implying I’m not just writing this to myself.

watashi no aoi tenshi yo

This is Isurugi Noe

True Tears – I had started the first episode back in the beginning of September, decided to start and finish it again three days ago. Did so. Really dramatic, and flying chickens are really the main plot here. Also, the picture above is Isurugi Noe being the main character’s blue angel, yeah take of that what you will. I used to make fun of people that judge series based on the ending, and I tried to be above that. I can’t, 7/10 is my rating.

;_;

This is Rizel

Rizelmine – Tried not to pick a spoilerish screencap, but oh well. That is Rizel, she’s a genetically modified girl developed by the Japanese gov to h4x them shits. For weird and to be explained reasons she was married to this older kid that has a thing for older woman. So it starts as unwanted sudden loli girlfriend appearance, with the male lead being a dick.

It is formulaic like that for the first couple episodes, but no, it turns out to be much more. Funny, fast-paced, unpredictable, and with a sprinkle of drama. You could argue it’s even a coming to age story. Rie Kugimiya is best in that role, and the ending is perfect. Harry Potter-esque. Anyway, my rating would be a 9/10, it only loses one point for the weak start and dickish male lead character.

Well turns out this post ended up being quite big anyway, oh well.
