Random Post!

Yay! I'm finished with my term papers! AND IT'S ALMOST THANKSGIVING I'M SO EXCITED! Hopefully I'll be able to beat Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World soon so Aya-chin can spoil me to death! Disgaea and Persona 3 too. I'm so excited about Persona 4 right now, it's ridiculous.

I'm still disappointed that Chie got a horrible voice... Oh well, I'll get used to it. She was Horie Yui too... :[

Koshimizu Ami and Kugimiya Rie are both in it as well! And guess what? Marta and Rise's seiyuu are both Kugimiya Rie, and their English VAs are both Laura Bailey! *gasp*

Although, I do kind of think that Kugimiya Rie's voice doesn't fit Rise very well... I think Laura's is slightly better. *gasp*

BON BON!

*Ahem* So I recently finished watching three anime surprisingly! The first one was School Rumble's second season! Seeing as how the first OVA for Sangakki comes out today, I'm hoping it gets subbed first so I can continue watching the awesomeness that is School Rumble! Tenma and Yakumo are awesome. :P

The next anime I finished was Lovely Complex, which was a really sweet romantic comedy that I actually enjoyed! The main character of Koizumi Risa's seiyuu is of One Piece fame! Nami's voice actress of Okamura Akemi! She also plays Sheena in Tales of Symphonia! Anywho, Risa's character and Nami's character are very very similar in terms of appearance and personality actually, it's quite surprising. The fact that they have the same voice doesn't really help with that situation. Haha, I ended up calling Risa, "Nami" for quite a while, until I started to get into this 24-episode anime more. The main story is mostly about, as my cousin had posted before, a tall girl falling in love with a boy shorter than him! it's actually adorable how the whole plot plays out, although Risa does cry a LOT! Practically every episode. Poor thing, falling in love with someone as dense as Otani. xD One thing I like about this anime though, is that it IS funny! Romantic comedy, rather than those depressing ones I've been watching. Actually School Rumble kind of counts as romantic comedy too, but it leans more towards the comedy side, while Lovely Complex leans more towards the romantic side. I recommend this anime to anyone who happens across it! Jasypants says that the live-action version of it is pretty good as well, so maybe people should check that out too, although I'm not sure if I will, maybe someday. Title of this post is a reference to one of Lovely Complex's ending songs by the way. :P

The last anime that I finally finished yesterday is none-other than Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru! The main plot is that of which a boy goes to an all-girl's school. He obviously has to dress up and BE a girl while staying over there. Of course, he does not go there because he WANTS to, it's his grandfather's death wish for Mizuho to go to the private academy that his mother attended. His mother was one very dear to Mizuho and his family, and he ends up doing a lot of the things his mother did back when she went to the school. It is pretty interesting how he ends up acting like a girl so naturally, of course, he is kind of feminine to start with. :P Translated, the title pretty much means, all of the maidens are falling in love with the Elder onee-sama. Which is what Mizuho ends up becoming early in the story. The Elder of the school is kind of like... The representative of the school, although not necessarily student council, she usually is admired and adored by all the other girls of the school, defined as the most beautiful and elegant student there. I actually do like a lot of the characters within the anime. Shion-san and Takako-san are both a couple of characters I grew rather fond of as I was watching this anime. It's quite interesting how this anime was displayed at one of the yaoi exhibits at Anime Expo though, considering the story is technically about girls falling in love with a guy, although they do not know that he's a guy at the time. Well, except Mariya. xD If anything, this shouldn't even be considered shoujou-ai, as Mizuho is really a guy anyway! My cousin pretty much wants nothing to do with this anime, which is sorta understandable... Although he shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. The anime isn't bad at all. It's rather light-hearted and funny at times. I enjoyed watching it! :D

Surprisingly, over the past couple weeks, I've also finally beat another game! Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. I actually REALLY liked it! Although the characters of the story won't beat the first game's, I did actually enjoy a lot of the characters. Especially Adelle, she's a cool character. Frimelda as well, she's just great! Hurdy is fun too~ I'm not sure if I enjoyed this game more than the first FFTA, although I know I enjoyed it as I couldn't stop playing it for over seven days straight. Overall, I did really like this game. Although some of the laws were frustrating, it was fun in the end. In fact, I still have to finish about 30 quests to fully complete the game. I do also want to train my Vaan, Penelo, and Montblanc up, as well as my Frimelda a bit more... My Adelle, Hurdy, Luso, and Cid are already quite great. Well, so far, I've completed two games over the course of the summer. I still technically have two months left of my summer, so hopefully I can beat a lot more.

I've been playing Metroid Prime more recently. A lot of my files had gotten corruped last summer, so I have to rebeat quite a number of games! Mostly just Fire Emblem 9, Metroid Prime, and Tales of Symphonia though. I already beat FE9, and I'm almost done with Metroid Prime I think... I just got the Plasma Beam, so I must be kind of closer! Anywho, I'm also currently on a quest to get an Xbox 360. With the advent of news that came with E3 from Square-Enix of Final Fantasy XIII going to the 360, I ultimately decided that I need a 360 now. Tales of Vesperia is coming out next month, and Soul Calibur IV is coming out NEXT WEEK! Oh whatever am I going to do? I don't nearly have enough money for a 360... At least it recently got a price drop! Down to $300 dollars now, according to one of my friends that works at Gamestop. With the 360, I'll finally be able to play Eternal Sonata too, another game by Namco. They actually did something right in that game by putting in the Japanese voices too, which is great! Hopefully that means they added the Japanese voices to Tales of Vesperia. :D I guess that's enough ranting now though, so byeeee~

Scramble

So, I'm currently addicted to the first opening of School Rumble! I don't even know why, it's so cute and happy! It cheers me up and I love Horie Yui, she's awesome. She's the voice actress of Eri in School Rumble, who is one of my favorite characters in the series! I should finish watching the second season actually... Hmm. I was meaning to blog about how much I like School Rumble before, but I've been lazy and dealing with school. However, I'm officially in summer vacation now and am in a very very good mood right now! ~Gurugu Mawaru~

I know San-chan is tired of these, and I'm sorry for that. Okay, not really, but I made an avatar of Aurica from Ar tonelico! Hooray.

Nagasarete Airantou and Fruits Basket

So, during my soon-to-be-over Spring Break (*sobs*) I finished two anime, which is rather surprising, because of the fact that I thought Brawl was going to occupy the majority of my time. Well, Nagasarete Airantou, I started like weeks and weeks ago. I never got to finish it when I intended to because of some... "Interruptions." Anywho, Nagasarete Airantou was pretty awesome. I really liked it, the comedy is pretty good and the serious issues were good too. Suzu is awesome and Machi is hilarious and Ayame is usually just there. Ikuto is kind of a pervert though, although he should have died from all those nosebleeds he had from the whole series. Well at least that started to wane as the anime went on. I really like this anime, it's really good and Horie Yui did a good job as Suzu. MAME DAIFUKU! :P The anime had a lot of action too, it's really a harem anime, but I like it because it's a romantic comedy too. :P

Okay, I now know why some of my bestest friends liked Fruits Basket so much. Tohru is so awesome! Tohru is like the ideal person that everyone wants to be, she's just so nice and nothing phases her despite all the hardships she goes through and everything that has ever happened to her. She has great friends too, and she makes everyone happy. She's just uber awesome. It's no wonder why the Souma family loves her so much, well except Akito of course. I kind of want to read the manga now... The anime was just so good, I don't know what else to say about it. The Chinese Zodiac thing is interesting too! But we never met the horse, and I'm wondering why. :o

EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH FRUITS BASKET! Lol, people should watch Nagasarete Airantou too, it's not bad at all. ^__^
