UtaPri: 2nd Live Concert

Well I was stalking Terashima Takuma's official blog earlier and found posts supposedly about Starish's 2nd live concert held in Saitama Super Arena. The blog posts were dated from Aug. 25 to 26, 2013 so the event was probably held between those days.

Too bad I'm not from Japan and all I can do is to wait for nice people to share videos. >.< Takuma shared a picture of himself in costume of their MajiLove 2000%. But too bad it was only his body, his head was not included. Oh Takki~ XD

And then there's a group picture of STARISH no minna-san. :3 I love how Shimono-san (Syo's seiyuu) has his character's perfect height. XD And look at Mamo, he's so tall~ *A* Takki's height is so cute~ *U* Suwabe Junichi has Jinguji Ren's hair lol :)) and SuzuKen-san is still a bishie~ *U*/ Natsuki and Cecil seemed fine to me. x3 But still, TAKKI all the way~ <3 p="">

My Thoughts About: Pretear

So lately I was searching for a good reverse harem series to watch and stumbled upon Pretear. I know it was aired in one of our local television stations before but I didn't get to see it though. Pretear is kinda similar to Fushigi Yuugi with the guardians and Sailor Moon with the magical transformation and stuff. The character art is good and looked like characters from Magic Knight Rayearth especially their eyes. The guardians are all good-looking and the 3 kid guardians are cute as well. I'm into the nice guys so during the first episode, I kinda like Sasame but I realized Hayate is awfully handsome maybe more so if he'd cus his hair short. x3 At first I was a bit hesitant to watch the anime because I thought it had that usual magical girl story where the heroine gets magical powers and fights evil that is trying to destroy the world. Well the story is kinda like that though, Himeno was the new chosen Pretear by the 7 leaf guardians to get rid of the demon leeches (or something like that xD) commanded by the Princess of Darkness *coughs* Takako, former Pretear, *ahem* to suck the life force out of everything. The story is fine but I felt that it was too short. They could have at least made the series into 24/26 episodes. The characters background weren't really developed well and the romance between Himeno and Hayate was reaaally lacking. T.T The ending seemed a bit rush too and the kiss seemed forcefully added in the ending. Oh well I was happy that Sasame, the guardian of sound, was revived but It would have been better for me if Takako just perished instead *U* since she was the real cause of the  whole mayhem after all. -.-

My Thoughts About: Shingeki no Kyojin

Even titans can be handsome. ;P

This is not a review or anything of that sort since I'm not really good in writing reviews. ^^, I am writing this to express my thoughts and opinion about the anime series. Okay so I just spent an almost entire day catching up with this anime and I have to say that I'm glad I decided to watch it even if it's main stream these days. First, I really liked the first opening theme, Guren no Yumiya, it has a feeling to it that gives the anime an impression of "war" and "death" and I somehow find it refreshing. xD After finishing the first episode, I already felt glued to the series and  became easily attached to the characters especially to Mikasa. I loved how passive but at the same time caring she appears towards Eren. I prefer strong heroines and those that are not too loud and bitchy. xD Eren on the other hand is a bit annoying and selfish in the first few episodes which led to the death of some of their friends and I really seem to hate him during those moments but he's a character that becomes likable enough after a few episodes though. I just hope the series continue to be more interesting from now on and not loose its touch. After seeing Levi, I believe he would bring more color to the wonderful series. ;)

Clow Cards/Sakura Cards Mini Guessing Game

Aside from doing fortune readings, I was able to devise a simple but fun mini guessing game that you could play with your friends with the use of your clow/sakura cards. ;)


First, I categorized the 52 Cards into Persons, Objects and Animals.

CATEGORIES:

Pick at least 6 cards from each category. We will only use 6 cards each because the Animal category has only 6 cards. So we should have 18 cards all in all. After deciding which cards to use, set aside the remaining cards. 

So now that we're ready, here's how to play:

MECHANICS: (There must be at least 2 to 4 players to play this game. )

1. Shuffle the cards first. One player will pick 3 cards from the top of your selected deck (18 cards) and lay them face down. 

2. The other players will pick their own card and guess what category their card belongs to. 

3. The player who guesses right gets to keep the card.

4. Repeats steps 1 to 3 until you have the winner. The first person to get 5 correct guesses or 5 cards is the winner.

5. The losing players take turns in dealing the cards. 

I know it's quite a simple game but it's quite fun really. I played it with kids and I had so much fun. *lol*

*I'll add pictures later for reference. :)

Ragnarok 2: Closed Beta Testing

A few months ago, someone in my Facebook network shared a post regarding Ragnarok 2 LOTS. At that time, I wasn't really aware of RO2: Legend of the Second. What I know about is RO2: The Gate of the World which according to "some" people was a total let down. I don't know much about it though because the game is only available in Korea. When I first saw RO2 LOTS, I fell totally in love with the 3D graphics. I've been so familiar with the 2D sprites of RO1 that sometimes I just get tired of it. *_* Don't get me wrong.. I totally loved RO1 and I think pixel animation is pretty but sometimes I really wish that there'd be more customization options for players like changing the character's clothing appearance depending on what equipment he/she is wearing. *.* 

I've been waiting for updates about the beta release of RO2 LOTS and a week earlier before the said release, I was really excited to play it even though the game is 3.8 GB big. *_* Dec. 7 finally came and I downloaded the game installer for almost 3 days. Due to download traffic and other technical issues, the game site and forum were down for maintenance. Sadly, I only got to try the game on the last day of the CBT. -_-

I usually go for acolyte or mage class in mmorpgs. Here in RO2 I figured that it would be difficult to solo as an acolyte so I made a mage character instead. One of the awesome features that RO2 offers for its players is the ability to take on a profession like being an artisan, an alchemist, a blacksmith and a cook. Alchemists and blacksmiths are already common in RO1 and we almost see them everywhere and cooks are also like Genetics. I chose to be an artisan because I like the thought of my character crafting equipment, accessories and fancy stuff. =)

This is my mage, Keina, grinding a few levels and aimlessly slaying Baby Porings. The monsters in RO2 are stronger compared to RO1. Baby Porings are only level 1 monsters and they are the weakest ones in the game but it takes about 4 to 5 hits before killing one unlike in RO, hit them once or twice and they're squished. -_-

This is the Kafra lady for RO2. She looks so pretty like the girls in a Maid Cafe. lol. =) The Kafra service offers the same functions such as item storage, save point though I'm not sure yet if it lets you teleport to other places. 

This is one of the quest NPCs offering you some decent equipment for finishing her quest. =)

I stopped playing at level 7 because there's really no point in playing when my progress will be deleted anyway. -.- I was happy to hunt some cards from the monsters -  flip, hornet and lunatic. Hopefully it wouldn't be that hard to hunt for cards in the game because in RO1, one of the many reasons why people bot is because the drop rate of cards is really low. -_-

Speaking of bugs, I encountered this kinda creepy character glitch while I was playing. This happens whenever I face an obstacle and look at my character's face in front view. xD Also while leveling I noticed that some monsters cannot be attacked no matter how you click them or spam them with skills. 

After closed beta testing all characters and items will be fully wiped but the players are given the priveledge to keep their in game characters if they reached level 25 during CBT. Well it's a good thing for concerned players but I'm not worried about my own in game name since the ones I used are not usually common. =)

I can't wait for the Opening Beta. =) You can download RO2 LOTS here. I'll see you guys in the CBT! 

La Corda D' Oro: Seiyuu Event

Seisou Gakuensai 3

La Corda D' Oro Event

I don't own anything. I'm only sharing this for entertainment purposes. :D

I ripped this from Tudou.com and I'm not really sure who to credit.. ;_; Don't worry the quality is okay though. The highlight of this event for me was when the seiyuus were asked to imitate each other. xD

You need HJsplit to combine the files and Winrar to extract them.

Pokemon Movie 1: Mewtwo Strikes Back

A Pokemon movie is tearing me up! Yes, I know that this is already old but nevertheless, the original Pokemon and characters will always be a good classic to watch. Ash together with Misty, Brock and seeing nurse Joys and officer Jennys brings back good memories of my childhood. I remember seeing this movie in television when I was in Elementary. For me, Mewtwo will always be the best legendary pokemon out of all of them. Why? Because he is psychic and psychics kick butts. =)

Click here to watch!

The movie starts off with Mewtwo having doubts about his purpose of existence. When he learns that he was created to be the strongest Pokemon but genetically made from Mew's DNA, he couldn't accept it and thought that he is far more stronger than ordinary Pokemons and humans. Mewtwo escapes destroying the laboratory along with the scientists that created him. He is asked by Giovanni to become partners in his plans for world domination. Mewtwo agrees and later on found out that Giovanni also wanted to gain control of him and his powers and so he left. Ash receives an invitation from a certain Pokemon master and asks him as well as other trainers to come to a specified island and their journey starts here on.. 

I've been watching a lot of Pokemon series until now and as far as I know, Ash is alive and well but this scene in the movie where Ash risked his life to save the Pokemon and appeared to be dead pulled my heartstrings. Pikachu was desperately waking him up but nothing works.. seeing Pikachu with all those tears welled up something inside me. It was really heartbreaking to watch but.. we're talking about Pokemon here. The power of friendship do miracles and wonders. :)
