Because all you guys pressured me into it I’m reading the manga now XD I’m only on like chapter 16 though but that’s still far enough reading that I knew what was gonna happen in this episode. So my thoughts so far? Kaname is a pedobear, Zero is still hot and should get with Yuki. The biggest question I have this week is….

Who’s the trap? I mean I recall in the relevant manga chapter seeing part of someone’s hair but I couldn’t tell if it was a he or she because they didn’t show a face….but I guess it doesn’t matter when it looks like a woman but sounds like a man.

Also don’t forget to use spoiler tags when you comment xD I added them in because of this show lol. Continue Reading »

So between last week and now, I actually read all of the Soul Eater manga released in Japan to date..meaning I’m up to ch. 47 and past volume 11. This means I have a crapload of spoilers but I know a lot of people have not read this far so I’m having a hairy time figuring out a good way to blog this show. Should I just warn people that there MAY be spoilers in my post or something? I’ll try not to spoil anything major, but for starters, rewatching the OP made me go “OOOH! Now I know what THAT is!” Continue Reading »

I think Special A deserves the award for “worst casting of the year”. I mean what the hell were they thinking when they used a high pitched female voice for Kei’s dad?? I mean I know he’s kinda girly but there’s plenty of guys they could have used (such as the cast of Junjou Romantica) that could have fit into the role just as well. But no, they pick a girl, and not a good male voice girl like Paku Romi, some high pitched girl who should be voicing someone from Di Gi Charat Nyo. At least Sui’s voice was tollerable.

Well since some people like to see progress here is some progress for you! I jumped head first into programming last night and getting familiar with Ren’Py and the codes. Sure it involved me screaming out loud “what the fuck is wrong with this stupid thing” (And JP can attest to that) but eventually I got something going. I wrote out a couple lines just for testing purposes but I’ll probably do dialogue in greater detail once I get the paths & routes all smoothed out. At least the “basic” skeleton is done so it’s art, programming and writing from here on out!

P.S. Anyone recommend a good FREE sound FX site? All the ones I found require you to either register or buy their CD :S And Flashkit doesn’t have as many options as I would have liked.

…why in the hell are they $40 for a Saturday only attendance? That’s $10 more than New York Comic Con! I can’t see how this is justifiable when the NYCC probably has a lot more dealers/events/people that require more costs…than NYAF which has a lot less and a lot less content to begin with. Not that NYCC was exciting for me due to lack of Anime related content, but NYAF is pretty bare boney in itself. Last year I left the con feeling kinda let down because things closed early but I know that’s just because that’s how the Javitz center works. So with all of this in mind why the price jack? I had seriously thought about going to this con but I can’t see a justification of paying $40 to go for 1 day unless they get something as equally or more awesome as T.M.Revolution (B’z anyone?) The way they’ve made it is that attending for 3 days you get a MUCH better deal - but since this is only the con’s 2nd year, I don’t really find myself wanting to attend all 3 days. (Especially when last year a lot of panels/events repeated from Friday to Saturday anyway.) I really hope NYAF staff considers lowering the price or they may find a big attendance drop this year. My Anime Next 3 day pass was $40 - and I have to pay the same for a 1 day con that ends at 8?

Edit: Just got a response from the staff blogger:

This year’s NYAF will be running much longer than last year’s. While most events wrapped up at 7 in ‘07, we’ll be keeping panels, screenings, and special events on until 10 this year. If you need to wait and see, though, that’s cool. We’ll be announcing guests and programming beginning in June.

Alrighty then I guess I can see where that extra $10 comes from. I’ll wait and see what they bring out in their programming before making my purchase though.
