Moved

The blog has moved to Vindicating Anime Blog - http://darkvindication.blogspot.com/.

Well, basically, I had personal issues about that blog (not just the name). I'll start off again with the next blog and do well.

Long story short: Insecurity kills... so I moved.

Hayate no Gotoku! – 03

Mask the Money is my favorite hero…

Hayate no Gotoku! - 02

Hayate enjoys the world in a cleaning company at the age of 8 with a few lies about, of course, his age. Amazingly, it’s believable…

Casshern Sins AMV - Trial by Drowning

I really did thought that Casshern Sins was one of those ordinary anime (and I still haven’t watched it) but it really has changed my perspective. I’m trying to give time to watch Casshern Sins but it seems like I don’t really have much time… at all.

Hayate no Gotoku! – 01

I should put some thought on what to put here.

The story sure has gotten deep…

Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari Trailer by Crossfade

A really nice, awesome trailer. Apparently, I've set all aside the anime I've been following to watch the whole season of this show. It's really worth giving it a try, especially after watching the trailer!

Call of Shit: Black Ops by Mastamind

This is more like a trailer but with pure awesomeness! Go watch Cat Shit One or else you'll really regret you wouldn't... is what I'd like to say since I haven't watched it myself. I'm planning to watch it when I have time as exams are approaching quickly.

Forgot to mention: Several ugly camels were slaughtered during the making of this video. All cute rabbits remain unharmed.

Highschool of the Dead – 06

I personally think that it’s hard to think why you should hate this series for the fan service or the “intellectual” choice for not choosing it—particularly referring to just blood, gore, and tits.

Highschool of the Dead – 05

Episode starts with some awesome sniper from the Japan’s Special Assault Team, who is Minami Rika, who just so happens to be a friend of Nurse Shizuka, who just so happens to have an armored car. Bah, it would be a nice excite to have to see her touch her boobies just ‘cause it’s numb. Other than that, it gives me a creepy feeling to know that Takeuchi Junko who voices Rika Minami also voices Naruto Uzumaki. This is why I just found out that she also voices Hina, and gives me more of the creeps.

Nyan Koi! – Never Wanted to Dance by Padre

Nyan Koi!

This is an anime music video (AMV) from Nyan Koi!. The song, "Never Wanted to Dance," and "Shut Me Up" is used by the video and sang by Mindless Self Indulgence.

I never particularly like rock but the video edit just makes it really awesome. Favorite: Bitch! Stamp :)

Hope you enjoy!

Fullmetal Alchemist Gets a Special Side Story Manga

The September issue of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine is announcing on Thursday that Hiromu Arakawa is drawing a new special Fullmetal Alchemist side story manga in the next issue on September 11.

— Anime News Network

Special Side Story Manga? One chapter, right? Then I don't call it milking. (red - contra; green - repetitive for replies; blue - worthy-to-read for replies)

More after the jump...

Fairy Tail – 40

Finally, the end of the arc… or at least the second to the last episode.

I didn’t particularly like some things in terms of the graphics such as the ball of water where Lucy and his buddies are. I mean, the ball of water didn’t seem much like water anymore with that “sturdy” look. Whether it was intentional or not, it would be better to make it look watery, regardless of whether it had to look sturdy.

So far, Fairy Tail has nice animation on their even though it’s a standard type. While I look back and imagined, the fights weren’t really that impressive, but there were still exceptions such as when Natsu was crushing the throat of Sieglain/Gerard while pushing him down, destroying the towers.

The arc was too typical though, and there isn’t much to say. Well, there isn't anything to be surprised here but I guess I'm going to continue watching Fairy Tail until it bores me, and I might switch to a big unwatched shounen anime, Bleach. So far, Naruto is the only show that's making me thinking of dropping (so as with the ecchi shows—still can't feel the 'love') after that crappy animation with Pain.

Overall, the episode was ★ (good) for making me look back how look at Fairy Tail is even when it gets with a serious look.

Highschool of the Dead – 04

I’m watching you, recap episodes!

No way in hell am I going to believe that there’s a simple reason as to why we have an early recap. For Pete’s sake, it’s still in the fourth episode!

psgels said, “Obviously, something went wrong […]”

Well, yeah, of course. I’m sure that even great companies like Madhouse could make a really big mistake here, but it’s just sad to say that with only 3 episodes, you have a recap on the fourth. I’m pretty happy with them adding some new material in the second half, but the part that I hate it is that it’s almost like a “filler.” Despite the fact that they were showing how humans could go insane after all the trouble he did for the survivability, it still isn’t really something “new” to me to. Sure, you could keep the drama going, but I think they could just do a simple flashback and continue with the show.

This is only a quick review to excuse my weeks without posts. Can’t really keep the promise up with all the issues arising in my life. I mean, I had to sleep eight hours good for two days to finish school work! I seriously don’t do that sh*t… unless conditions like “You won’t have to do this and that if you do this”-thing are in.

Summer 2010: Music Videos

While I was bored waiting for anime to pop out of nowhere (and rest for some time while thinking of doing something with our school work), I thought of putting up the Summer 2010 anime music videos. I won't be the uploader of the following videos but it's guaranteed that the quality and audio is fine, and of course, the video is working.

The list is arranged based on the date they started airing. They will be put under spoiler tags since the width space of the blog template I'm using doesn't seem to "work well" (It'd be nice if I could put the OP and ED beside each other for easier navigation and all that).

*** I currently have no music videos for Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin, Digimon Xros Wars, Stitch! Zutto Saito no Tomodachi, Tono to Issho, Sengoku Basara 2, Asobi no Iku Yo, Cat Shit One, MonHun Nikki Pokapoka Airumura, and Osaka Hamlet.

Highschool of the Dead – 01

OP: "HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD" by Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets - I like how the song opens and how it goes to the chorus; it's one of those songs that I mostly here in shounen animes that you don't usually here often anymore due to the pop song demands. And I ain't saying that it's just the opening of the song or its chorus but overall, it was perfect! It felt really dramatic.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Movie Green-Lit

The 64th and final episode of the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood television anime series ended in Japan on Sunday with an announcement that production on a theatrical version has been green-lit. The 64th television episode matched the ending from Hiromu Arakawa's original manga, and Anime Expo is hosting the episode's American premiere on Sunday at 11:00 a.m.

Detective Conan – 578

Cheers! This time, I solved everything on my own! And this is why I know Detective Conan has become so predictable now. =w=b

Soul Eater - Review

The story is quite simple, really. It's just your typical shounen anime but what makes this anime interesting is its quite unique animation and weird characters that could spice up the comedy a lot for this show. Let's go over them, one by one.

Highschool of the Dead - Preview

» Highschool of the Dead - Preview - Streaming «

The idea of a zombie anime caught my attention because this'll be my first time watching an anime about zombies. It doesn't sound too common for with the short anime life I have so this is a sure anime to blog about! Although I was already convinced to watch this anime, the preview gave me more of the urge to watch it.

I have a lot of expectations from this anime so I really hope they won't let me down with a bad ending; I'm pretty sure the introduction will be great, for a zombie anime, that is. ;)

The Legend of the Legendary Heroes - Previews

» The Legend of the Legendary Heroes - Preview #1 - Streaming «

» The Legend of the Legendary Heroes - Preview #2 - Streaming «

The only reason why I'm interested in this show is probably because it has that magic and conflict elements present. The plot summary sounded a bit cliché, and the preview still hasn't convinced me unlike Highschool of the Dead's preview.

Still, this anime is on my list and I'll probably blog it... of course, when I have time. Even a kid like me is busy.

i r Lazy Already

Well, apparently, I still haven't learned much in the way of the anime so I might just leave out a few random reviews once in a while especially when the episode is finished.

Right now, being lazy is one of the least reasons why I'm going to abandon this blog again. I actually still have a lot of things to learn about how the way of the anime goes so I'll probably do something "on my own" now. (One of the reasons why I made this blog was to criticize how I look at different animes. I guess I'll be defeating its purpose... for now.)

I guess this is a "temporary" farewell.

Sayonara, mina.

Durarara!! – 23

To begin my anime review for the 2nd to the last episode of Durarara!! (which I found a really unneeded review to date), lemme give you a few thoughts of mine on its general plot, and animation.

Durarara!! really has some unique stuff here, starting from the originality of its plot. I haven’t watched an anime that has Durarara!!’s episoding. It doesn’t focus on the main character (like what most anime do) in an episode and doesn’t necessarily have the “need” to show the main character in that episode; it would rather focus on a different character for a few episodes. Then after completing an episode, it starts to make up the missing pieces from the opposite side, and complete it uniquely.

Yoroshiku ne.

Unusual me; worried over putting up a random image in my first blog post rather than the content it should have.

...

Although I like to talk about my delicate self, it is better fitting not to. Living 13 ½ years in my life, being an Internet person, I am now, it’s just so hard to see why someone like me would care less about anime. After giving a lot of thought on the promise of having this blog, it was really, really hard. To begin with, I’m a kid, immature and young, very, very young. Although there might be people like me that could have this as a hobby in such a younger age, I tell you, I am not near to talented. Don’t expect much from my criticisms in anime reviews and all, but I would appreciate it if you could point out something wrong with it as your feedback to the post. After all, even I use as age as my excuse, I am still a human like you that can make mistakes occasionally (but extraordinarily, I make more of them; I’m clumsy, you see).

‘Nuff chit-chat ‘bout silly, worthless thoughts. Let’s proceed to more silly thoughts now!

My anime history is really short, shorter than most anime reviewers. Although I can be a bit nitpicky on most things, it is still part of the anime after all. Hmmm... If I have to recall the first time watching anime was... Let’s see... Right now, I’m a high school student. It’s was probably when I still in elementary. (Consider it short; I barely watch anime when I was in elementary.) It was probably Pokémon, and Digimon. Both were great for being an action-packed anime, but what makes it disappointing is that Pokémon is obviously worse than Digimon. Pokémon is repetitive. Watch an episode in the middle of the show, remember the pattern, and you get your show. It’s booooooooring. On the other hand, Digimon does well on the story and has an arc to follow. (Natsukashi ne...)

After watching Digimon, I still remember getting excited over a shoujo anime that contains fantasy as its genre. If my memory serves me right, it would be Fushigi Yuugi aired on Animax. In the evening, after classes, I’d always have to do my homework first before I could watch TV, and around those time, Fushigi Yuugi was the only interesting show on. (The other shows were sports anime; I don’t particularly hate them but they the least genre I like.) To be honest, despite being a guy, I did cry and went soft.

And that’s when the doors of anime opened to me!

Doors? Silly you! It’s just me going excited over everything about anime. I’m not really picky when it comes to anime; I’ll love it if it’s good, I’ll hate it if it sucks. In short, I’m open-minded. Although this may be the case, I still do have my least liked genres; yuri/yaoi. I don’t particularly like to watch them so I won’t (or probably never) one of them.

...

*yawn*

While it took me half an hour to think about how to introduce myself and an hour to write it, it feels really good but really tiring as well (It’s midnight here!).

By the way, a little bit personal information about me: I’m living somewhere in South East Asia, and of course, an azn. ;)
