Never Mess With Fujibayashi Kyou

As she will suddenly go into demon mode and rip your heart out of your chest.

I have obviously, recently acquired the CLANNAD Visual Novel (Thank you Orpheon-sama!)! And it being my first real VN, (Ar tonelico doesn't really count I guess. ^^') I'm actually quite enjoying it! Especially since I did watch the anime first, and I know what's going to happen for the most part, but it's nice to get to know the characters once again in a LOT more detail! Now, I really want to play the Kanon VN, despite it being an H-game, (Hopefully we can skip the scenes? o_o) because Kanon was my absolute favorite out of the three Key animated series that I have watched.

I was trying to go towards Kotomi's path first, but I think I ended up winding towards Nagisa's path on accident... I was just choosing what I felt like after all, and I just could not refuse Nagisa's being alone in the courtyard, eating her Anpan by herself... She's a lot more similar to me than I thought I guess. Which is why I actually really liked her quite a bit back when the first season came out.

"ANPAN!"

She shouts to encourage herself. It's so heartwarming to be able to try to make her happy in the VN, and to encourage her to do things that she would have otherwise not done on her own, but man... I already know her fate if she becomes, "the one" for Tomoya, and that's depressing... Oh well, I have to go through all paths to get the true end eventually anyway I guess...

Also, Nagisa's theme/the Dango Daikazoku song from the anime's melody is now stuck in my head.

Dango~ Dango~ Dango~ Dango~ Dango Daikazoku~ After watching the After Story though... It does make me kind of sad... T__T

Metafalica

Yes, I have finally achieved Metafalica... Last week. I finally was able to beat Ar tonelico II last weekend. I'm currently on Spring Break this week which is why I was able to. I need to go back and get all 100 I.P.D.s to join Chroche's fanclub though. The ending was spectacular! It makes me wonder how good Luca, Jakuri, and Cocona's endings are... Although the last parts of  it will be the same. The only difference would be the scene with said girl and Chroah (A lovey-dovey scene. XD) That said, despite all the localization mishaps, I really enjoyed the game. Although the game did freeze on me randomly at least 5 times... Mostly during I.P.D. fights, but once while I was looking through Chroche-sama's costumes... I know I'll be going back to play through Ar tonelico II again eventually, because it really is an awesome game with lovable characters and a great story.

Also, I finally finished Clannad ~After Story~ yesterday. Very very very sad story. I cried several times. The ending was super though! Miracles can happen if you try apparently. (Well, at least in Key produced stuffs) Everyone was happy in the end, although there was a lot of hardship to be had for that to happen. Even though, the last few episodes now seem meaningless... But anywho, Ushio = absolutely adorable. Watch the anime if you can, I think the second season was a lot more depressing and serious than the first season. I'm not sure which one I could consider better, but they're continuations of each other, so I'm not sure if we can compare...

Also, I need to find a way to get a PS3 soon... Lots of Cross Edge news has been coming out as of late... And I just really really want to play that game. Hopefully NISA won't screw it up like they did with Ar tonelico II... And yes, the costume above is Misha is Chroche-sama's costume. Which was a big surprise for me when I first got a look at it thanks to raymk-san from A Reyvateil's Melody.

Well, that's all I could think of writing for today, got to do some house chores...

Sanae = Philia? D:

Okay... This might be complete and utter nonsense to some of you... But watching Clannad ~After Story~ Episode 2 and seeing Sanae dressed up like that made me think... Wow. She looks very very very similar to Philia! D:

Considering Sanae is only TEMPORARILY dressed up like this... The fact that she looks just like Philia is kind of amusing! Of course, this is probably purely coincidental... But the even more ironic thing is that Philia and Sanae are both seiyuued by the same seiyuu, Inoue Kikuko! Which makes me laugh... I'm not sure if she was ever dressed like this in the actual Visual Novel of Clannad, but if she was, I would probably jump for joy at the unintentional (or is it?) reference to Philia Phillis of Tales of Destiny fame.

Of course, this probably doesn't mean much to most people, because a lot of anime/video game characters have similar appearances in some way... But it just seems bit coincidental to me! I mean, they have the same seiyuu, and Sanae randomly decided two wear her hair in two braided pigtails and glasses as a disguise... Just turn her hair green and make her wear priestess garb, and she might really be Philia. :3

On the subject of Tales... The Tales of the Abyss anime is REALLY REALLY good so far. I loves it. They made Mieu even more adorable than in the game... And Ion is awesome! Although I miss Otani Ikue as his voice. (Even though I never really heard her voice Ion all that much...) But Pikachu and Chopper's voice on Ion would have been great. :D

I'm also doing a lot better in my Japanese class than I expected! It's quite interesting... Considering some of the students of actual Japanese-descent seem to need more help than I do... I shouldn't say things like that though. It's just plain mean of me. I'll do my best to help them out though! :3

Marie
Random 'shop of the day. Made it yesterday. Marie from Atelier Marie using her Cross Edge Art. Speaking of Cross Edge, yesterday I edited Wikipedia and added all the Seiyuu of the Playable characters for Mana-Khemia 2! Yes, it was I that found them all and put them in the English wikipedia! Of course, I have to thank Lazy for finding the Japanese Wikipedia for Mana-Khemia 2... I also found the seiyuu for Marie through that Wiki, it's quite fascinating.

Oh yeah... I just remembered my summer goal... It was an utter failure. I didn't beat as many games as I possibly could have...

Super Metroid
Eternal Sonata
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Tales of the Abyss
Tales of Vesperia
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

That's it... I got really close to beating Metroid Prime... But stopped at like near the end... Like I usually do with some games... x__x

Oh well! I'll probably get to beat a few games over the school year... Although I don't think I'll be able to beat that many... End post.

Spring Break

Obviously, I haven't posted for a while, and obviously, it's because of finals and Smash Bros. So, I'm on Spring Break now, and yesterday night, Jasmine Ngo (Bless her soul :P) told me that I needed to blog, so here I am. SSBB is obviously VERY fun, and I'm surprised I ended up with so many new friends because of it. Obviously, the characters I was planning to use didn't exactly come out the way I planned. I ended up being the best with Lucas, despite me wanting to be good with a lot of other characters. Of course, I am and after many one on ones with my friends, it is determined that Lucas is my best one. >_>

I made this sig a while back. I got the idea for the background from one of my hallmates, Ryan who kept calling PK Starstorm, PK Hellstorm so I used it. xD This is mostly reflecting my Lucas maining, but I added Ness because he can use PK Starstorm too. Okay, enough about Smash Bros. even though it has been my life since it came out, I'm now going to discuss how this week is...

When Shana and Clannad end! *sob* They just weren't long enough, 23/24 episodes? PSHH~! Not enough! Anywho, I made the new banner based on Shana since it was ending. Used this picture for Hecate, and it's only Hecate because she is freakin awesome! ASTER! :D I hope a third season comes out, but it won't be for a while. I love Shakugan no Shana, but my fandom of it is going to fade soon after it ends. *sobs*

*sob* Clannad's ending was sooo adorable. Everybody should watch Clannad. It ended happy! Just like Kanon. Although I heard the movie ends differently, I should watch it... Clannad was REALLY good. I can't wait for the next Key anime to come out. :D Tomoyo forever! Well that's enough blogging, I dunno what else to write. :P

Overdue Update...

So then, I have a lot that I have not talked about on this blog for the longest time! I'm overdue for a real update besides Smash characters anyway. I guess I've just been busy with a lot of crap lately, I mean, I did just start college after all. Anywho, Air! Air is simply an amazing anime, it made me cry several times! I love this anime ever so much, it's so awesome. The characters are great too! Misuzu is freaken awesome. Haha. Twelve episodes that absolutely blew me away, and I still have yet to watch the Air in Summer special, but I'll get to that soon. The Summer arc is pretty interesting of course with it's own set of characters, of course it is set in the past, so yeah.Moeee~ It's Lucky Star! I love this anime series, it's so full of references to OTHER anime and even video games! I love the characters as well, their little perks and stuff about each of them. Konata is an anime/video game person, yet she's very athletic, and her father got her into stuff like eroge, so it's quite interesting. Haha, but yeah I guess that's all I want to give about the characters. You have to watch it yourself to truly appreciate it. My cousin doesn't like it though, says it's boring. Just because there is very little action and full of dialogue doesn't mean it's boring! I mean really, if you understand what they're talking about you'll find it quite amusing. :DOuran High School Host Club! This shoujo anime is actually very good! Of course it's very funny too, why else would I like it? It's sort of similar to Lucky Star in a way, as the girls in it are all "Moeeeeeee~" and stuff. Haha, the anime is quite adorable though, it's really fun. Even if you're a guy, you should watch it. The series is great. :PKaze no Stigma! I thought it was a rather good ending to it, but they did leave a LOT of questions to be answered. I guess that means that there either will be a second season, or well, they're leaving it at a cliffhanger or something, this art is very pretty by the way! There are very little good pictures of Kaze no Stigma, but this one is effing awesome. Haha. Zero no Tsukaima ended as well, I really love Zero no Tsukaima, but the ending was totally ruined! *sob* So disappointing, I mean they totally ruined a very VERY meaningful and touching moment! *sigh* The season finale was good though, nonetheless, besides the fact that the ending got ruined, I still like the series. I hope they make a really good season three or something in order to fix the bad ending. Louise and Saito's relationship really need to be so much deeper than that. "Ohh a Fairy with big boobs saved my life!" says Saito, and Louise totally forgets about the fact that he IS still alive and just goes all mad and "BAKA INUUU~" again. So yeah, really disappointing ending. Wish it was done differently. :\ It's still good though, plus the fact that Yuuji, Shana, and Kazumi have the same voices and Louise, Saito, and Henrietta respectively makes it a lot more awesome. xDThose were anime I have watched and already finished! Now, I'm going on to anime I'm currently watching and/or currently coming out. Rozen Maiden! It's such a good anime, I've only watched the first season, but it was really good! I'm betting the second season is so much better. Haha, I love Shinku! She's so freakin awesome, it's ridiculous. A lot of the other characters are awesome as well. Hinaichigo, Suiseiseki, Souseiseki, even Suigintou! Man, I really love the anime. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love the second season by watching the first episode. xD SHAKUGAN NO SHANAAAA~ It's back! Like oh my goddess! One of the bestest anime EVERRR~ Haha, I'm so excited about it! Two episodes in and I already want MORE! Shakugan no Shana is so awesomee~ I can't wait until they come out more. Oh my goddess Hecate is going to be in it more too! Also more Kazumi and Shana rivalry for Yuuji! More Wilhemina time! Haha, so awesome! I really can't wait for the next episode! Kazumi is much more involved and I'm hoping for a lot more awesome fights and story! I'm pretty sure the second season will be better than the first, though I can't really say that with confidence. I really can't wait until the next episode comes out. Shakugan no Shana is like one of my most favorite anime. xDCLANNAD! I love the art, it's so pretty. It's from Key, the same people that made Kanon and Air, man Kristina, you really got me to watching these depressing anime that are really good and came from Visual Novels. But yeah, Tomoyo is awesome! Haha, and yeah I already said the art is very pretty. I don't know much about it yet... So I don't really have too much to say about it except that I do like it so far.Phantom Hourglass! This game is really good actually! I really like it. Haha, for some reason it's more easier for me to play it than Twilight Princess. Maybe I like the whole cartoony look better or something, if I do I am a bit wierd. I mean, the games of Zelda that I have but haven't really played do include Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess, the three games that actually used the realistic graphics and such. I really need to get to playing those. I wonder if that's why I can't play Metroid Prime as much either... Hmm...

Yay that's my blog! A lot to catch up on... I know. I probably still have more to say, but I can't really think of it right now. That's enough for blogging for today anyway... :o
