Shugo Chara - 25

Published by Hinano under Shugo Chara

A little early but here’s this week’s Shugo Chara! Ok this was a great episode and I’m not just saying it because it followed the manga. The manga scene only took like 4-5 pages while the anime stretched it to 24 minutes. Despite that, I still enjoyed it and I guess the best part is we got to watch some character interaction for once rather than seeing Amu defeating some X-egg of the week. Anyway this week focuses on our favorite trap: Nadeshiko! Continue Reading »

Renai Blogger Project: Female Character Vote-Off!

Published by Hinano under Games

So I really think I’m gonna go through with this. I thought about this a lot today, like what setting I’m going to make, the story line, events, how many bad ends etc. While I really do appreciate all the help offered, I also realized that if I ask too many people to do too many different tasks it’ll be too hard to keep track of everyone and it would be easier for me to just whip something up myself instead. The only help I’m going to need is Ren’Py programming but I’m hoping I can at least figure out the basic stuff myself. Continue Reading »

Friday Premieres: MMORPGs and Collapsing Houses

Published by Hinano under First Impressions

Tower of Druaga - So despite Aroduc’s summary (which I made a good decision in the end not to base my opinion of this show on) I decided to watch this show after seeing the number of parodies mentioned by Kurogane. I was pretty amused that in the OP it looks like they’re showing normal people who play MMORPGs. Being a long time RO player I feel like I have to watch this show because a lot of the jokes are pretty amusing. But MMO jokes aside, how about the NicoNico video joke? Or that Evangelion joke when Jil’s wings like turn into the Eva 01’s from the Eva op. xD Once Jil’s dream kinda ended it wasn’t as funny. I really hope the rest of the show will be like this episode was…and doesn’t get all serious business on me. JP tells me it was directed by the guy who directed Full Metal Panic and Gatekeepers, both of which I liked. I’ll have to check out episode 2 before I decide whether I will be picking this up. Also I watched it in horrible quality on Crunchyroll because it had subtitles and someone watching it with me is Japanese is impaired ;)

Itazura na Kiss - is just too awesome. I expected to enjoy this show but what makes it more awesome is it reminds me of those 90s shoujo animes that I miss oh so dearly. Anyway this is a definite pick up for Friday as I had originally planned but I wanted to check it out just to be sure. I don’t really know what she sees in that guy, and aside the fact that he’s voiced by the guy who did our favorite Nice Boat captain, I wanna kick him square in the nuts just for being a jackass. So naturally I really hope by the end of this show he’s on his knees begging for sex0ring from the girl because he wants her that badly. Also the fat girl randomly amuses me because I almost never see fat anime characters (except for Chouji in Naruto :lol: ) If you like Moe things, steer clear, if you like good old fashioned shoujo, come along for the ride. Also the ending song was really catchy.
