Just a LITTLE Problem..

So there’s good news and bad news. Good news is that now I’ve got a new computer and it’s much faster than before. the Bad thing is, all my animes are in the other hard drive, and they will most likely not be linked onto this computer for another month.

It’s not a problem of downloading. The main issue is that my copies of Aishiteruze Baby and Honey & Clover are both on there. Those two animes are both licensed which means I will not be able to download it from any source. My old copies were obtained when they were still unlisenced, and I plan to get rid of them somehow as soon as I’m done with the reviews. Those are not for profit or anything so it’s okay to still keep them for a little bit. What seems possible is to watch the videos on veoh.com and take screenshots there because the quality seems to be reasonably high compared to others. But since both are licensed, I don’t think that it’s a legiminate option.

My only solution is to wait until the hard drive is linked onto my computer through an external USB device, and now maybe I can start on some other reviews with the summer 2008 anime episodes. And I will have to wait then until Thursday when Elaine’s summer school is over so I can then go to her house to work on these. All we can do now is hope for the best.

Just saw one of the questions that was on the search. So, is Kokoro and Yuzuyu sisters?

The answer is NO, they’re not related in any way. Since it’s kind of obvious ever since the first episode that Kokoro and Kippei are going to end up together, so this is not really a spoiler or anything. Yuzuyu’s mother, which is Kippei’s aunt, disappeared because her husband has died and she felt that she was unable to raise Yuzuyu on her own, therefore leaving her behind. That means Kippei and Yuzuyu are first cousins, except she is much younger than him. The one that people DO need to watch for is that creepy girl i pointed out before. I distinctly remember that she has an role in this, but I forgot what it was. She’s not related to anyone either, just another classmate of Kippeis. … continue reading this entry.

Without me realizing, half of summer vacation is over already. Yet I still didn’t accomplish much. But that’s okay, after all, summer is used to relax and to prepare for the hellish year when school begins again. Maybe I should go back to school shopping again soon.
Finally finished the Honey & Clover OP post today. The editing and writing for it took much longer than I thought, and it was hard to come up with any captions for the pictures so I just sticked with the most basic things. You really do need to click on the pictures to show a higher quality picture. The green background looks horrible when the size of the pictures are tiny. … continue reading this entry.

Honey & Clover OP

The opening theme for Honey & Clover definitely takes a while for some people to get used to, but it has one of the most unique videos out of all the animes that I have seen. Like I said before, the reason I’m doing the OP at the beginning is because of my failed attempt at reviewing the entire first episode. After taking more than 20 screen shots for just the first 30 seconds of the episode, even before the actual OP, I realized that I need to allot more pictures for every single episode as well as seperate reviews for the OP and the ED. The OP itself has 48 screen shots after taking them frame by frame. … continue reading this entry.

Okay, so I was totally going to do the first episode review for Honey & Clover today, but seeing that I took more than 20 screenshots for the prelude even BEFORE the Opening theme and BEFORE the actual episode, I decided to wait until tomorrow, and do ONLY the Opening and Ending theme for Honey & Clover tomorrow, and begin with the episodes after I’m done both of those. … continue reading this entry.

Saw the most amazing thing today at around 1 in the morning. CYNAMICS is the study of how wave frequency affects physical objects, and I found the coolest video while browsing www.fark.com. The video basically shows salt on a metal plate, and it actually changes to different patterns when the frequency goes higher and higher, from simple to complicated. It’s amazing how nature has such wonders. Those things kind of reminds me of the crop circles that occur sometime. Maybe they are somehow related. Moving crops with frequency, that must be really interesting. To see the video, click Here.

Note: the audio for that video gets just a LITTLE bit high later on, so it might be a good idea to keep your speaker volume at low. … continue reading this entry.

Aishiteruze Baby Episode.02

who's this kid..ahhh loli's in my bed!hmm..loli's still sleepingtitle card
In my opinion, the second episode is better than the first episode in terms of pacing and animation. But I do find the voice acting of Kokoro to be not in par with the rest of the cast. This episode is basically a continuation from the first episode onigiri incident, and finally resolves it. … continue reading this entry.

Aishiteruze Baby Episode.01

ZOMG teddy bear!katakura household
so this is where i will sleep tonight..title card

In my opinion, the first episode does a pretty nice job to introduce all the major characters while maintaining the interest for the next episode. The storyline in general follows the manga so I’m not expecting too much changes from it. … continue reading this entry.

Desperately trying to find a way to capture the screen when having the Media Player playback. Did indeed find some solutions, except none of them seem to work well. … continue reading this entry.

Today really wasn’t much of a chaos thanks to the fact that it’s the weekend. Maybe i should explain about myself a little bit first. I am a TOTAL music nerd, meaning that most of the time when I’m not watching anime, I’d be practicing piano for hours without stopping. Since today was a Saturday, and it’s summer vacation, it just screams practicing non-stop to me. And that’s how my day went.
