Life is mean.

Today's entry will be about everything awful that has happened lately.
I've had this problem for a few days now, sleeping the days and being up the nights. I've been trying to fix it with battery and coffee, only to end up with diarrhea and less sleep. (My body can't handle caffeine)
During these few days I've been playing a flash billiard game, Rock band and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Also I've watched The Big Bang Theory, Kamisama Kazoku and Saki (For Kamisama Kazoku and Saki I'll give reviews later, but I'm way too tired to do it right now) and now that I've watched pretty much all stuff I've got to watch at the moment, played a lot of all the games I'm interested in at the moment, my life has gotten so boring I'm not even motivated to increase the size of my porn folder, which I find quite unpleasant. So, anyway.. For the past few days I've been eating awfully, and not any "real" food for quite a few days. Due to being hungry, watching anime, playing games etc. I've come to realize, that life is indeed mean. I noticed that if I continue my life this way I'll never be able to date anyone, have any real friends nor find a suitable source of income to move away from my mothers place.
I've been disgusted at myself and felt awfully sad about my current situation. I haven't had a steady relationship during my whole life, I haven't had pretty much any friends during my whole life and I'm missing all my superpowers. It's a sad life, isn't it? Well, life sucks, iguess I should get over it, but still. For a long time, every time I see someone kiss, be it in an anime, live-action series or in the street corner next to McDonald's, I feel sad and bad about myself. For once, I wish something nice would happen to me too.
But well, I'll just leave this sad excuse for a post here and go to bed at 15:00 just so I'll have another boring night tomorrow.

Top 3 for today.
  1. The Big Bang Theory
  2. Storm8 games
  3. Making fun of myself

Nyawn?

It's been over a day since I got my new screen and I'm loving it! 21,5" full HD, have been playing some Call of Duty on it... It seems way nicer compared to my old TV. Also I've been watching some anime on this, man, the colours are just way different! In the beginning it made my heart pound hard, to see such a difference! Setting up the 2 screens was easy too, I thought it would take some effort but it didn't. Finding a good wallpaper proves to be hard though... Well, been re-awakening to my lost love, Mulled Wine. Always around winter I start drinking it and I consume liters every week, if not every day! My mother bought some yesterday, I opened it today and decided I have to buy more! (My mother only bought one liter, doesn't last very long.)
So anyway, I've been having a blast today, I've played pretty much every game I have on PC except for Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and Dead Rising 2, and I've also played some Call of Duty today too, and after I finish with this entry I'll go ahead and play either Guitar hero or Rock band. Don't know which one I'll choose yet.

Also, today I noticed how easily I'm influenced by anime... Been watching Saki since yesterday (a story about a girl who plays Mahjong) and I've been wanting to learn Mahjong ever since I started.. Just like what happened with K-ON! and guitar, Canvas 2 and drawing and Hikaru no Go and go. Too bad I never actually managed to learn any of these skills.. I've owned an guitar for a few years, but I still can't play anything... I used to draw but I don't anymore because I suck at it, and I don't seem to get any better. For Go and Mahjong, I can't find any good place to learn them.. I guess I should start seriously training something, because I'm not good at anything, nothing at all!

I'll leave todays entry for this, I've got pretty much nothing to say today either..
Wonder why I started an blog when I've got nothing to say? Well anyway! Keep coming back (if there even is one person reading this)

Today's top 3
  1. Ali Project
  2. Saki (anime)
  3. My new awesome screen!

Jello.

It's been a few days since my last post, I just haven't had anything to say. Not like I've got a lot to say this time either, it's just that I feel I can't leave this for too long, or I'll stop doing it completely.
I've  watched some anime, and played some games... Nothing out of the ordinary. I started watching Asobi ni Iku yo, then after six episodes I started watching Durarara!!, after four episodes of Durarara!! I watched Asobi ni Iku yo to the end, and I'll probably throw out my opinions of it in a while. Currently I'm waiting for eztv to release the new episode of Supernatural, it should come out within an hour.
Tomorrow (well technically it's today but meh, who cares) I'll be buying new screen that is Full HD, been waiting for a HD screen for quite a while. ^^ Too bad there's no screen around that's cheap, Full HD, around 21"-24" and has 2x HDMI... Well, anyway.. I'll be glad to get the new screen, can finally play xbox without having to use that crappy old TV of mine. And having dual-screen for PC? Great! Well, that's enough of me, let's get on to Asobi ni Iku yo!

The story:
This series has quite a normal story for one that has alien girls in it. The alien pops out of nowhere and starts to live with the protagonist, and of course the other girls that like the protagonist don't quite like it in the beginning.
The storyline goes by quite fast but not too fast. The story is quite simple and most of it can be guessed few episodes behind, not like it's something new to a series. There's not much more to say for the story, it was quite an disappointment how simple story it was.
So I'll score the story for 6/10

The characters:
 I liked the idea of having these gun maniacs around, and I really liked how they blend into the story. Especially I liked how Aoi looks like when she's got her glasses on. For the aliens, I was quite disappointed there were no guys, but iguess the cat ears and tail compensate for it. Though, I like how male characters look with cat ears and tail. But yeah, the alien girls were neat, and of course I like the idea of having one character with maids and being so rich she can buy anything she wants. Always good for the show!
For characters  I'll give  9/10

The soundtrack:
 The OST was neat! The BGM really blends in to the story and both OP and ED were neat, not much to say about it though.
Score will be 10/10 

How did it make me feel?
This series didn't have much drama or scenes that make you feel good inside, so it didn't make me feel all that good, for other than being good series. I think the person who created the story should have paid more attention to bringing out the emotions for the story, there were a lot of opportunities for feelings, but they just skipped all that. It's a shame.
Will score this one for 7/10   


So! That's it for today's  entry, only gonna pop up the top 3 and be on my way!
Hope you enjoyed your stay!

Today's top 3
  1. THEATRE BROOK - Uragiri no Yuuyake
  2. Rock band (xbox)
  3. The feeling of knowing you'll get something nice soon!

More anime!

Well, I just finished watching Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi, I watched the whole series in a row (not counting toilet breaks etc.), and I'm going to talk a bit about that. It's 12 episodes long, which is enough but still feels so short. It's a shame they don't do more 24-26 episode series'.
Well, first of all, the start, of course. Pretty much foreseeable (like most of the anime is, unfortunately) but still entertaining, personally, I really liked the showed off Ryouko in the beginning, and how they showed what kind of a character she is right in the beginning. When Ryoushi had his first appearance, I thought he was a dull, ordinary character, but fortunately I was wrong. Him being scopophobic proved to be quite interesting in my opinion. The series as a whole was a good experience, and the characters were awesome! (Majolica Le Fay taking the place of my current favorite character may have some affect for me saying that)

So! Let's get on with the ratings from my experience!

The story:
This one had quite interesting story, if you ask me. Though, it was a bit lacking. In my opinion they should have told more about the past of Ryouko. The storyline didn't get jammed at any time, instead it progressed slowly forward during the whole series. Closer to the end, the storyline went by faster than in the beginning, but ofcourse, story telling should be slower in the beginning so you can get a good feel of the characters before starting the main story. If it was for me to choose, in every series I'd have the first and the second episode have pretty much no story, but instead focusing on what kind of characters the story holds. This happens in quite a few series, this being one of them. So, well... All in all, the story was great and progressive. Only thing there is to complain about the story, is that there were pretty much no sudden twists or fights that come out of nowhere, but it's just my opinion.
The score from me for the story will be 8/10 The lack of 2 points is because of what I just mentioned.


The soundtrack:
OP and ED were both decent, but for the BGM? There's just nothing to say.. Unfortunately I can't remember it having any songs that struck to me yelling "I'M A GOOD SONG!" I can't remember what kind of soundtrack this series has at all. I find this quite disappointing.  
The score will be 4/10 for the OST.


The characters:
The characters in this series were quite well made! There weren't many generic characters, except for Akai Ringo. Only one character that is often seen in many many series'. Disappointing! But well, the characters that were not-so-generic do compensate for the lack of generic, cliché characters. Many characters had traits that are often seen, but then they also had traits not that many generic characters have. The set of characters was nice, cross-dressing male is a necessity for any good character mix-up! And by the way, if you're going to say Urashima Tarou is a generic character, he's not, you should watch the series and you'll understand. If you have seen the series and you still don't understand... I'll be sad to tell the bad news about your mental condition.
So, anyway! There was no bad character in this series, and as I said before Majolica Le Fay becoming my new favorite character for the time being, it will surely have an impact on the rating for this series!
The score will be 10/10

How it made me feel:
This series had a nice happy feel to it, and there were a few scenes I cried in. It's not a top notch emotional series, and it's not supposed to be! Overall I'm really happy to have seen this series, and recommend this one for everyone too!
The score will be 9/10   


Well, that's it for today's entry. I'm trying to figure out if I'd watch some more anime or go to sleep, I think I'm leaning a bit more for the anime! Not like it's a suprise.

So, let's get on to the last part of the entry!

Top 3 at the moment!
  1. Majolica Le Fay
  2. Storm8 games on iPhone
  3. Having fantasies about my little sisters friend that is at our place for a "sleepover"

Bleeeeeehhw!

Well, it's time for me to post some stuff again.
I just finally finished watching Canvas 2, and I'm going to give a small review of it.. Of course everything I say will be about what I saw and felt in this series. Our opinions may differ, so I hope you understand it's not like the person reviewing must be saying stuff everyone likes. I'm really disappointed with all the reviews I ever see, complaining about the style they use to draw, the seiyuus they chose for the characters or how cliché the series was. Anyway, let's get on with it!

First of all, the very beginning. I thought it was lovely, the usage of "oniichan", you don't hear that nearly enough from characters of Elis' age, and me being the sucker for sibling love, the start really made me have high hopes! But then, like any series the middle usually gets repetitive and boring and often at the middle of the series they use a lot of clichés and stuff, but I'm a sucker for cliché's too.. (long walks on the beach under the dim light of the moon, sitting holding hands and watching the sunrise or having a guys first kiss stolen by a beauty (that is actually a guy cross-dressing), if there's any of that, I'm having an orgasm of the mind!) *ahem* Towards the end the story got better and better, with a few (VERY few) flaws. The very last episode, the last scene, it made me have the feeling of "Oh fuck not a crappy end again!" (too many bad endings in anime :( ) but watching the ED was a right decision! Usually I just skip the OP's and ED's from most of the episodes, and tend to forget that they often add the end of the story for when the last ED is rolling. After I had the "oh crap" feeling, I went to get coffee (at 23:20) and thought that the ED was a really good song, so when I got back I thought I'd listen to it. So, I did, and I had the "OH YESS!" -success feeling when I saw it. During the last episode I started having doubts of my prediction abilities when it comes to anime, but I actually was correct, once again! The end was neat, and surprisingly well thought. Well, for story I'd go and give around 8/10

Then  for the soundtrack.. OP and ED both are awesome, as is the rest of the OST. It won't go near Clannad though, but it's really good! The songs always fit the scene, and the person who composed the songs is a genius! OST gets 9/10 

The characters were great! They each had a role in the series, and the characters were all well designed. The seiyuus fit the characters well, so overall I'll give 8/10 the lack of 2 points is only because they didn't have any of my favorite character-styles, such as Kotomi from Clannad. Or any of the Kugimiya Rie characters.

Then, the grand finalé! How did this series make me feel? At first, I was having constant nosebleeds in my mind, because of the usage of "oniichan". The dramatic side of the story wasn't as dramatic as I'd like drama to be, so I didn't cry much during the series. Of course, I shed a few tears during the series, but I didn't have to go about pausing the series because of poor visibility that tears give. I have that "problem" with quite a few series'. This series did make me have those heartwarming feelings when things got happy, which I do like. For bringing out emotions this series will get 6/10 The lack of drama in the dramatic scenes was really a drawback.

So, for overall of the series it's going to be an 8
It's a really nice series, and I recommend everyone to watch it.

Sorry if the "review" lacks in some parts, but it's really the first time I've ever done this, so I wouldn't be surprised if you people would be disappointed with it (if anyone even reads this).

Aaanyway, I'll be doing this with all the series' I'll watch in the future. I won't do this with the series' I've already seen, unless I watch them again. Some series I can remember clearly, but most of them I don't. So I don't want to do any guesswork, but instead I want to write things about it when I actually see the series.
I'll be taking requests for series you'd want me to "review" and give my opinion of.
Just tell me the series and I'll see if I can find a download for it, watch it etc.
So, for today, this is about it. Only have the "Top 3 ATM" left.

Here it goes!

Today's top 3!
  1. Canvas 2
  2. Ore no Imouto Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
  3. Clannad OST




Let's hope you liked today's post, you probably didn't but meh... and if you did read this, do continue to follow me in the future too!

Burials are fun.

Today, I was there when they buried my grandfather's brother (whom I never actually knew about until about until about two weeks ago). The first funny thing that happened, was that I met one of his friends. (they both were drunkards) Oh boy did I laugh inside at the friend of my grandfather's brother (let's just call him the friend from now on).. He barely could stand, even though he was sober and I couldn't understand a word he said because he sounded like he was completely smashed. Well, after we had met him we walked down to the church and sat at the front row chairs. A few moments later the friend came inside too, man, you'd be surprised how much noise one man can make.. Well, while we sat and the priest was talking, I had fun watching a painting that was behind some candles (Jesus holding a child, or something like that) and the heat from the candles made the air wave so it looked like the baby's face was deformed. I barely could keep myself from smiling. Then, after the priest had talked and finished off his songs, we started to carry the coffin to the grave he was to be buried in to. The funny thing about this part is, that the coffin needs six carriers and we only had three of us, so we had some people who no one of us knew helping us with carrying the coffin. After we had finished burying him we left with laughter while mocking the drunkard friend (of course at a range at which he could no longer hear us). Then we went down to my fathers' and drank some coffee and ate some sweets. While after we had finished our coffee, I left with my grandfather and went down to his place, did things we usually do when I go to his place. Played some cards, drank some coffee and talked about random things. Later on after a few games we went to the sauna, and then he brought me to home.

Boy did I have fun this day, new episode of MM! (which you all MUST see) and a new episode of Supernaturals 6th season, which wasn't all that good but it was all right.
Now I'm pondering about what I should do next. Finish watching Chocotto Sister, start watching Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi, start watching Spice and Wolf II, play some Starcraft II or CoD: Modern Warfare 2.
Maybe I should go sleep? I slept only about 5 hours before going to the burial.
Well, listening to Clannad OST again, not a suprise I suppose...
I guess I'll go take a dump and think about what I'll do next.

Today's top 3
  1. MM!
  2. Ore no Imouto Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
  3. Clannad OST


Todays entry was a bit short but I really don't have anything else to add.
At any time anyone reads this, try to have a nice day that day. If you can't, then have a bad day. If you don't want to... You've run out of options.

Ciao~ 
  

keskiviikko 20. lokakuuta 2010

What a life...

So, yesterday I went to sleep around 05-06 in the morning, woke up around 15 to a call from a friend, it was an invitation to go out for dinner. We had pizza.
So, after eating and getting back home I started playing Starcraft, and listened to Clannad OST, been doing SCII story mode normal achievments, and I found the secret mission today...it was...beautiful. I loved the mission!
So, anyway... After I got bored of playing SC, I went up to World of Warcraft to pick up my Halloween event "trick or treat" also I killed the Headless Horseman, ofcourse, I didn't get the helmet I need. (The pumpkin)
After that 5min visit, I logged off and watched a few episodes of Chocotto Sister. It's my 3rd or 4th time watching the series, and I wish everyone in the world did the same. It's an awesome piece of storyless, mindless, comedic fanservice awesomeness. Can't go wrong with that!
After the few episodes of the series, I went up and played some more SC. Then I got bored again after few missions so I decided to go to watch Chocotto Sister again, then after few episodes back to visit WoW for Trick or Treat, then back to SC and then Chocotto sister and WoW and SC and.. "oops" I've been up all night again and I can't even go to sleep because I've got stuff to do later on today (I can't sleep small periods of time, if I sleep, I won't wake until I've slept enough). So, I've gotta go make some coffee, take a shower and perhaps melt my face so I'll stay awake.
Oh, also, after we had eaten our food with my friend, we drove to the supermarket, where my friend bought cola and I tried to buy non-alcoholic cider. Well, atleast it says "non-alcoholic". The cashier told me she can't sell the cider to me unless I have my papers proving I'm 18 years old (which I'm not). She told me it's not completely non-alcoholic which led to me laughing a bit and leaving the store empty handed. When I got to home I took a can of the same cider (empty) from my floor and started to read about the ingredients... Well, yeah.. It has 0.02% alcohol in it. Man, think of that. I'd have to drink 100 cans or something, before I'd get even slightly drunk. That would make 50 liters.. How the hell do these people think it's wrong for me to drink that stuff? I mean, there are these small chocolate "bars" that have rum and leftovers of liqueur in them, and they sell that stuff for anyone who gives them money for it. Geez, this world we live in sure is a weird place.

Well, on the brighter side of the "news"...
I just decided to save 150€ by not buying a 21" Full HD LCD TV for 300€, instead I'll buy 21" Full HD LCD non-TV-screen for 150€.
Well, it's a lie when I say "decided to save".. Wouldn't have been my money either way. I guess I should say I decided to save my mother's money by doing so. Ssooo... I'm off to get coffee and take a shower.
Before that though, I'll mention my plan for the future, in this blog.
I'll be putting up my "top 3 at the moment" each time I'll post something here, might turn it into "top 3 of the week" later on if I notice myself posting same things over and over again.
So, here it goes 


Nyamo's Top 3 at the moment
  1. Clannad OST
  2.  Starcraft 2
  3. Chocotto Sister
