Rozen Maiden ALiBAT

This game is insanely fun and the graphics are fantastic for something I got for free... The gameplay is pretty simple, basic controls being what they typically are for NES and SNES emulators.

I think the best part of the game is the music and sounds. They really put a lot of effort into it. It adds a lot to the atmosphere. It's also fun to hear them scream in voices that you're familiar with...

See what I mean? Watch Shinku vs. Suigintou or Suiseiseki vs. Hinaichigo. I freaking HATE Hinaichigo's piggy bank machine gun things...

Free doujin games with good graphics beat official games with better graphics any day. (See Rozen Maiden: Gebetgarten)

LOL Shinku Mugen-style... And Megaman vs. Kanaria is great, but I wanted Megaman to lose... ;__; Poor Kanaria. Her Partita of Retaliation was awesome!

I have to have something to distract myself from the fact that NO ONE has released Kuroshitsuji 2 yet or I'll go on a rampage...

You can download it from Desuchan.

Naruto 421

Is it honestly a surprise that Akatsuki attacked Konohagakure? Unlike most villianous groups, they actually did something instead of endlessly sitting around plotting and shit.

Good for them.

Also, Tsunade bullies the elderly, Sakura kills a giant centipede that seemed to have escaped from an episode of Inuyasha, and Danzou kills a cute little froggy. That scarred-up old bastard! I hope he gets killed by a frog for great justice.

AND! Are we closer to figuring out the secret of Pein's numerous, sizable black piercings? YES! Thanks to Shizune! Apparently they're chakra receptors and not just hideous accessories. Also, they're still receiving chakra signals even though the ones being studied were taken from the corpse of one of Pein's ppl...

The obvious conclusion is that Pein's people are corpses that he somehow continues to manipulate with all the original body's techniques and such. It's not that hard to figure out. Sasori did it with the corpse of the Kazekage and Kakuzu did something similar by absorbing the hearts of powerful victims.

But don't tell Tsunade and them that, they have to figure it out for themselves...

D.Gray-Man 176 and anticipation...

The anime ended after 103 episodes, but the manga continues! *teary eyes* I've really come to love this series. I love the characters (except the Levoull-somthingorother dude that looks like Hitler) and the comedy and the action...

So yeah, latest chapter has another level 4... I freaking hate those things. They're ugly potbellied and mono-breasted doll-looking things and I find them both creepy and irritating. And they attack nuns and children (shame!). Not to worry, though. Allen and Kanda have some ugly ass to kick the shit out of. And they do. :D
In other news... I think I'm going to explode waiting for the next episode of Kuroshitsuji to come out... Shinsen takes a bit longer than other subbers, but their quality is well worth the wait... even though I'm really REALLY REALLY excited and want to see some mafia thugs die by having tableware thrown at them (in Hi-Def!).
Notice the dude on the right look over as the other two dudes fall over bleeding with silverware sticking out of them... >__<
This is gonna be sweet...

Clampstuffyay! xxx-HOLiC 167 and Mouryou no Hako 1

Downloading Mouryou no Hako 1 from Aero Subs. I'm glad someone finally got to subbing this! (Obviously, I have to see it because Clamp did the character designs, as you can see...)


Aside from that, everything is coming together in Holic and Tsubasa. Watanuki and Syaoran's connection is revealed, as well as Sakura from CCS. Technically, Syaoran (original) is the son of CCS Sakura and Syaoran, but because of choices he made, Watanuki was born too... Yuuko said they were closer than brothers, because, like Sakura's egg from Tokyo, something that should be one became two. It's complicated, but making more sense now... I hope everyone comes out of this well and alive, including Yuuko. Erbear and I agree that she's Clamp's most awesome character ever...


And also, an OVA! From TOW: A two DVD OVA has been announced for xxxHOLiC. The first DVD for this OVA will be released on January 16, 2009 with the 14th Volume of the manga. Another two DVD OVA which will crossover with this one was also announced for the Tsubasa series. Its first DVD will be released in February of 2009. It is not known if the OVA will continue on after the Himawari story arc to the next story arc, or if it'll be an anime-only ending.

Yay! I can't wait!

(I am in love...) Fall Anime

In the wake of my sadness of Code Geass R2 AND D.Gray-man anime ending, I'm finding new series to watch and read... I am in love with Kuroshitsuji... It is awesome beyond words. It's the one series I am certainly going to watch this fall. I also downloaded the first episodes of two other series that looked good, Chaos;Head and Toradora! (there seems to be an excessive amount in punctuation in this season's series...).

Chaos;Head appealed to my sense of 'fucked up shit is interesting' so I got the first episode. Basically some socially reclusive otaku has lots of delusions and gets wrapped up with recent violent murders and other gruesome events. Also, there are a bunch of girls. Sort of like a harem with blood and gore. I like it okay. None of the characters are immediately endearing (I think the girl otaku is funny), but I'll watch at least a few more episodes. Subs by m.3.3.w




Toradora is cute and funny, a kind of counterbalance to the stuff I usually like... (It seemed especially refreshing after I got finished reading Tokyo Akazukin, which deserves its own entry for sheer fucked-up-ness...). There are two misunderstood people who end up helping each other try to get the affections of the other person's best friend. One is constantly misjudged by his appearance and the other is violent and volatile, but timid and shy when it comes to her crush. And also, a retarded bird. Seriously, it's retarded. As I said, it's a cute show. I like it. ^^ Subs by ggkthx.






Lastly, there is my newest obsession, Kuroshituji (Black Butler). It's about Ciel, the 12 year old head of the noble Phantomhive family and his super awesome amazing hot demon butler, Sebastian. It's hilarious and awesome at the same time... and it has demons. That's more than enough for me. Shinsen does subs, yay. Episode 2 is gonna be awesome...

Tokyo Akazukin was... interesting. I liked it... but I guess that's just me... I've certainly read more disturbing things than that. I personally think the Battle Royale manga was worse. Besides, I love demons and shit, so it was right up my alley.

I also have a sort of 'thing' for messed up Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf... <<

It'll be a good fall... (let's not discuss school, k?)
