Nothing Much Going On...

Hey everyone. I couldn't update yesterday due to CuteKilala visiting people. Well now I'm updating today while I'm still awake. Well, there's still nothing new happening. As usual. Well, maybe except that I have to watch "Lost" Season 2, Episode 21 with Mum and CuteKilala. I could have watched it last night, but alas... My conscience got the best of me... I was just wandering around the house all day. When there's no computer to sit in front of, I can never sit at peace. I'm constantly trying to find things to do. I felt like a tiger at the zoo, considering how small this house is... Not much was on T.V either. Well, there was one thing. I got to watch one episode of Inuyasha with CuteKilala! The Band of Seven have diminished to just Bankotsu. I really can't wait to see the fight between him and Inuyasha! ^_^ It's just too bad Kikyo took up quite a lot of screen time... Oh well, Kikyo lovers have a right to be happy too. Oh aye, I'm glad everyone who watched the video from the last post liked it. I don't have any clips today so I'll post screenshots for now. These screenshots come from Ah! My Goddess. It's the one I am waiting to be subbed. I only have the RAW (No Subtitles) version. That's right, a big ugly guy, yelling in a Panda costume. If this doesn't catch anyone's attention, NOTHING WILL! There... That is more like him! ^_^

Boring Night...

Hey there. That's right, another update! Although not much has happened since yesterday... ^^' God, yesterday was really slow. I was sitting here the whole time waiting for 2 things. 1. People to update their sites. 2. Waiting for the next episode of Ah! My Goddess to be released. Well it never came out... Oh well. I guess I'm a little early in expecting it. Everyday seems like a "Deja vu" to me. I just completely lose track of time. Oh well. Being on MyOtaku always feels different. Maybe I'll keep track of time better this way, huh? I've been up all night playing my computer games while I was waiting. It's a lot later than I thought. As soon as I finish this post, I think I'll take a 5 hour nap and visit everyone. I'm just shattered from this long night. Well there is a reason I'm posting. It's a video clip of the first episode of Tsubasa Chronicle for anyone who wants to see a little about it. This time, it isn't a humorous clip, but an exciting clip! Or rather, it's two clips. I have a limit to what size of clip I can upload. So I had to split them into 2 parts. Also, since I took it from a widescreen video, it's quality isn't perfect when converted to fullscreen... Plus the translation isn't perfect in this episode either. Like the subtitles coming up saying "Your Highness" when Syaoran only said "Hmm". But apart from that, I like this part in episode 1. Oh aye, I almost forgot! HazelKeys 1985, or rather "Beyond Wonderland" as she goes by now, is back on MyOtaku. She disappeared for a bit but now she's back. If you had her on your friends list, you now know where to find her. ^_^ I got asked why I wasn't on AOL, well it's because I haven't been using my user name. I'm just too lazy to switch accounts. I'm using CuteKilala's when I talk to Michael, my brother. ^^' I better get going now. I'm starting to nod off. I'll still visit a couple of people before I go to sleep now. Since it's the beginning of the day.

   My Oath...

Hey everyone! I have decided that since I just had my 1st year anniversary, I'm going to try and be a better friend on MyOtaku. As some of you may have noticed, I visited you all last night. I want to push myself to visit as often as possible. I'm pretty fed up waiting for the day I update before visiting. It's just not fair on the people who don't update on the exact same day as me. I'm tired, but hey, that's not going to stop me! I'd like to thank Sesslover18 for making me this great banner to celebrate MyOtaku anniversary. I love it! ^_^ Oh aye, I managed to guilt CuteKilala into visiting people. YAY! Although she said she wasn't going to update. I think she's waiting until she has a fanart done. Still, I'll make sure she visits people on her friend's list when it's her day. I know some of you really miss her. CuteKilala has the results in from you all voting (Thank you for taking part if you did) and she said she's going to do "Sesshomaru's Greatest Fear". Here's the voting results. 1. Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Sango holding Miroku's babies. = 2 2. Sesshomaru's Greatest Fear = 5 3. Fluff Daddy 1 - Standing = 0 4. Fluff Daddy 2 - Sitting = 0 5. Sesshomaru's Dog Form = 1 Well I was doing not much of anything yesterday when I wasn't on the computer. Just watching TV with Mum. There were documentaries about all the things that happen in Iraq that are too dangerous for non-Iraqis to go near. I tell you, the things on the news you normally see don't show you everything. Thanks to the rules they have to follow. Some of the things I saw made me shed a few tears. Like dead men, woman and children, even babies, who got caught up in the war, lying in their own blood... Anyway, on to less depressing things. One of you who saw the clip yesterday said that Marller doesn't act like a devil. Sure she doesn't, she's not an enemy that's meant to be taken seriously. She's a complete screw-up! lol. However, I noticed it's when she's teamed up with someone that she becomes dangerous. Okay. There were no requests on videos yesterday, but ElvesAteMyRamen says she really wants to see Tsubasa Chronicle. I don't know if you meant a clip or not, but I'll make a clip for the next post, okay? Also, thanks for watching my last clip. ^_^ I also watched 2 episodes of Inuyasha yesterday. YAY! The last one I saw was when Miroku and Sango came across that Saint Hakushin in Mount Hakurei and killed him. Is there nothing that can resist the Wind-Tunnel? Oh aye, while we were watching it, Naraku's poison insects appeared and CuteKilala shouted, "DANG IT! Why do they have to appear all the time!? They're getting really annoying!" LOL! I can't help but agree. ^_^ Anyway, I better get going. I have people to visit, then I'll go to sleep. See you later!

   My 1st Otaku Anniversary!

Hey everyone! It's a big day for me so I made it a priority to update. I have now been on MyOtaku for one year! So I'm in a great mood! I might as well let you all see my statistics for a year of being on here. ^_^ Total Visits 1793 Popularity Ranking # 630 Guestbook Signings 124 Aye, I know, lower than you might have expected but as you know, I don't update everyday anymore. Plus I don't go around signing everyone's guestbook to get new visitors. I wait for you all to come to me! lol. Well I did make a few exceptions. Anyone who made an effort to visit me, I kept on my friends list and I visit back. ^_^ Which brings up this question. Has CuteKilala lost interest in MyOtaku? I really don't know. She's changed her mind about her drawing again and doesn't know which one to do and is really busy listening to country music on the online Detroit radio. -_-' Well she does have a message that may help her if you all answer. She wants to know which drawing you want her to do first. 1. Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Sango holding Miroku's babies. 2. Sesshomaru's Greatest Fear 3. Fluff Daddy 1 - Standing 4. Fluff Daddy 2 - Sitting 5. Sesshomaru's Dog Form There's more but she's been concentrating on these ones for now. Well my day has been pretty good. I never got stressed about anything today. No annoying things said from certain people in this house either. In fact, I felt calm all day. Well I did receive a rare compliment from CuteKilala! O_O I got her started on Soul Caliber 3 yesterday and she saw the three characters I made. She said that I have a good fashion sense. Note that it's VERY hard for her to admit anything about liking something at all. So it's great to have CuteKilala respect me for something! Even my Mum liked my characters. Usually, the two of them think my fashion sense is just whatever is there handy. Well now I've learned that I have good fashion sense. And no, I'm not gay or anything. lol. ^_^ Well remember that I said we were going to Edinburgh? Well my fears were confirmed. CuteKilala never woke up in time so we never got to go for the trip. I guess we'll have 'til next week, then.>_< Well I don't have a special banner or anything for my anniversary. I only just noticed last night... Heh heh... Oh well. I'll just make clips instead. It's better than nothing I guess. I'll tell you a bit about the clip. Well it is a clip from Ah! My Goddess that I found really funny! In this episode, Belldandy is going around granting everyone and EVERYTHING wishes relentlessly. Why? Because she got drunk on Coca~Cola! LOL! I know, weird! Well there's a character called "Marller", who comes back after a long time in this clip. If you saw the second last episode of the first season, you'd understand. I really can't believe someone like her almost brought about the end of the world... Anyway, she's back for revenge but things don't go as planned. lol. ^_^ Although I only know one or two people who bother to watch or has time to watch the clips I make anyway. Thank you to those who do. I'd love to hear what you think if you DO watch it. I still even take requests on what clips you want from the following shows. Ah! My Goddess Full Metal Alchemist (English) Tsubasa Chronicle All the other shows I have cannot be made into clips due to incompatibility. Sorry. Anyway, all may have noticed that I visited a large number of you last night. I was just in a good mood and felt like visiting everyone. Sorry for those I missed as the updated user list refreshed at 5am before I could get to everyone. Well I'll visit everyone today. I promise you all that. ^_^ Oh! Here's something you all might want to know or may have noticed if you haven't skipped or speed read my entire post. The music is no longer in my site because the site I get them from deleted the link... T_T

   Crappy Day...

Today is NOT one of my good days, that's for sure. Here are all the things that happened this morning. 1. I woke up being unable to feel or even move my entire right hand because I was lying on it. It took 20 minutes for it to recover. The blood suddenly flowing back to my hand is painful! Well it's fine now as you can guess. Since I typed this. 2. The internet stopped working for an hour so I'm late on updating. 3. While I was waiting for the internet to come back on, I was going to play Battle for Middle Earth 2, but the computer isn't recognising the disc! GAH!!! >_< I only woke up a couple of hours ago and all this happened... Once I finish writing this post, I'm going to visit everyone who updated and I'll go take a nap. That will make me feel better. Hopefully... Anyway, now to talk about yesterday, which was a LOT better! I was pleasantly surprised to see that episode 27 of Tsubasa Chronicle was up for download. That means the fansubs for season 2 has commenced! YAY! I just hope Season 2 is better than the first one. I did enjoy the show, it just had about 4 or 5 uninteresting episodes, that's all... Mostly during episodes 3 - 6 (Where most people stopped watching as I have read). I'm glad I hung in there during those episodes. I'm supposed to go to Edinburgh tomorrow. Only problem is, it's 3:42pm now and CuteKilala isn't up yet. How is she going to wake up early tomorrow? So the trip might get cancelled AGAIN! So that means it's going to be another week before I can buy Advent Children. >_< Hmmm... I promised I'd make this post more interesting, didn't I? Let's see... Until I can think of something, I might as well tell you how CuteKilala is doing, considering how she almost never updates. Well she's drawing a picture of Inuyasha, having his hair tugged by Miroku's children. With Miroku and Sango in the background. CuteKilala tells me that she's going to have Sango ready to hit Miroku over the head. ^_^ I KNOW! How about a video clip of FMA? Almost everyone likes that! It's a clip of Greed demonstrating how he can't be killed. I just found what he said funny at the end of the clip. lol. Well that's all I can think of at the moment, sorry. I'll end this post with a video of Ah! My Goddess (For anyone who's interested) and be on my way. Sayoko is drunk in front of Keiichi's house. ^_^ For anyone who doesn't know who Sayoko is. She's one of those people who loves attention and has a rich Dad. She used to be the most popular girl in school, until Belldandy came along. Now she's always scheming on taking Keiichi away from her to make her miserable. So as you can see, she's a little bit of a villain but not quite a big one. EDIT: My brother sent this in the email to Mum. She read it out and we found it pretty funny. lol. It just shows how scientists overlook the simplist things. ^_^ "When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C. The Russians used a pencil. Your taxes are due again -- enjoy paying them."

   I'm Hopeless...

Hey everyone. Same old story why I haven't posted in a while. BFME2 has a grip on me again... >_< Anyway, A good thing happened a couple of days ago. The computer got a MAJOR upgrade in RAM. My Mum and I saved up for it and now we have an extra 512MB of it. That adds up to a total of 1GB of RAM! YAY! ^_^ Anyway, that's one of the main reasons I went back to playing BFME2. I needed that RAM, that's for sure. Anyway, on to other topics. Remember how I told you all on the last post that my Brother is taking an interest in FMA and might watch it? He never watched it yet... However, this guy came up to Michael and told him a huge amount of the plot to Full Metal Alchemist! INCLUDING THE ENDING! GRRRR!!! >_< I really hope Michael will still watch it though. I'd say he will still like it. Even though he says the plot sounds strange. ^^' Well... We are meant to get to Edinburgh on Tuesday to get our passports. Since we are "In Theory", going to America, Michigan on September of this year. I really don't know know if we'll be ready to leave here by then, but only the future can tell. Well at least while we are up in Edinburgh, we get to see the castle one last time before we leave. Most likely, I'll never see it again for over a decade... Not to insult America or anything, but wouldn't you start to feel a little hesitant to leave the country you were born and raised in? What else did I do? Hmmmm... Well I've been watching the second season of Ah! My Goddess as they have been coming out. The animation has been improved, so that's good. I also learned something about what the Japanese do on Christmas Morning. Apparently, the parents leave presents under their child's pillow before they wake up. Now that's different, wouldn't you say? Sorry I can't post much else. I've been up all night again and just finished writing this at 6:30am. Don't worry though, I'll still visit you all the moment I get up. I'll also try and make my next post a little more interesting. See you all later! ^_^

   I Am Having A Great Time!

Hey everybody! I finally got back on the computer to visit you all. For some reason, CuteKilala kept swapping her day on the computer all the time so I never really ever got a full day. Well at least me and CuteKilala got to watch LOTS of anime! ^_^ First we watched EVERY episode of "Tsubasa Chronicle" Season 1. It got really interesting in the end. Not to mention me and CuteKilala thought our favourite character got killed. Thank got he didn't. Plus the last couple of episodes was FULL of action! I'm not going to say what happened just in case any of who may be watching and don't want anything to be ruined. I definitely can't wait for season 2 to come out! For anyone who is going to watch it, DON'T READ THE MANGA FIRST! I found the anime great when I never read it. I enjoyed the anime a lot before I found out what scenes never made it. Trust me, it's good advice. lol. I made a video of a fight scene in Tsubasa Chronicle. Here it is if you want to watch it. Remember, I got this video clip from a widescreen video. So the quality isn't perfect. Speaking of videos, thank you all for trying to see the video in the last post. Sorry to hear not all of you could see it... Me and CuteKilala also watched episodes 112 - 117 of "Inuyasha". Those were pretty good episodes too. I see why the "Band of Seven" arc is so popular. Although I started to feel a little sorry for Inuyasha fighting Bankotsu. Kagome just STOOD THERE and watched him fight while the barrier weakened him. I mean Kagome could have used her sacred arrows much earlier to help out. They were behind a holy barrier after all. The arrows might have been given a boost. Well at least he made it through the fight. It was great watching Sesshomaru kill one of the Band of Seven! That had to be one of my favourite scenes out of that batch of episodes. I also got CuteKilala to watch the first 5 episodes of Ah! My Goddess after a year of trying. She got a good laugh from them. YAY! Although she insists she will only watch them in English... Oh well. At least she watches it now anyway. I will continue watching it in Japanese as they come out. Well I did learn something about the DVDs of AH! My Goddess. It looks like some of episode 3 was RE-DRAWN! Some scenes actually got better drawn than when it first appeared on TV in Japan. Do a lot of anime do that? O_O Oh aye! I almost forgot! It looks like Michael, my older brother, took a look at Full Metal Alchemist while he was in an anime shop, buying DVDs for me and CuteKilala. (We can't thank you enough Michael!) He says he really likes the artwork in it. Could it be that he's going to watch his first ever anime? If so, YAY! I gave him a torrent file to download the first 26 episodes in English. I hope he likes it. ^_^ For those who are wondering where CuteKilala is, she's STILL busy drawing right now. She's sure taking her sweet time... You see, she takes her time when she is drawing, as you may have figured out. Although when she's was halfway there, she gave up and either started the drawing again or started a different drawing. D'OH! >_< Whew... Sorry I talked all your ears off, I should go now and visit everyone who updated. See you all later!

Tsubasa Chronicles Update

I just thought I should put another quick update on my site. I have been making video clips of Tsubasa Chronicle for you all to watch. Well I only have one at the moment... Still, me and CuteKilala love this scene. Please watch it. It's funny. The music's good in it too. ^_^ (BTW, I had to take the clip from a widescreen video, so it's not as high in quality as it could have been...) Give it time to load though. I won't appear immediately. I have the cheapest version of broadband and it appeared in under a minute. Here's another one below. It's the same one, except it's for dial up users. It's supposed to be faster to load up. But it sacrifices quality. You will see this blond haired character called "Fye". He's my favourite character in the show. He's a lot of fun! Plus he has a distinctive voice. I hope FUNimation duplicates his voice when it gets dubbed. Here's a picture. Anyway, I had other things to say too. I'm very sorry for not being online much yesterday. I know I said I was going to sleep in my last post. The thing is, I got a second wind. I didn't want to lose my day on the computer. So I thought I should watch Tsubasa Chronicle with CuteKilala before visiting everyone. I got carried away and watch 8 episodes... By the time I was ready to visit everyone, I was mentally tired. I was incapable of reading things and have it stay in my head. I mean I was up for over 30 hours! Could you blame me? Well I really enjoyed watching the episodes I watched. How can anyone say this anime sucks? It's getting even better as it goes on. Maybe because you have to be a patient person to watch it. When it starts a new story, it's a little slow at first. But it starts building up and gets better. I guess it's not the kind of anime that people who watch only non-stop action types are used to. Oh well. EDIT: Oh aye. In case anyone is wondering where CuteKilala actually is, she's either drawing or reading fanfics. It's like when I was addicted to my game. Only her addiction has lasted a lot longer. lol. ^_^

   Tsubasa Chronicles Review

Hey there! I actually haven't played Battle for Middle Earth 2 since I last updated! I'm regaining my will power! YAY! ^_^ Well I'm still watching Tsubasa Chronicle. I have seen the negative comments on review sites. But there were also people who think it's cool too. I think the people who don't like it are expecting too much and stopped watching it too early. Personally, I found episodes 3 - 6 a little boring, I must admit... But I'm glad I didn't give in because episode 7 - 11 were very good. Full of action! (Maybe not on the scale of Inuyasha or Full Metal Alchemist though) Plus the story just got more interesting too. ^_^ Nearly all the negative comments I hear are WAY too harsh! So what if the characters have long limbs? Doesn't bother me. After all, I can compare the animation to most western shows that are coming out nowadays. The animation in Tsubasa Chronicle is a LOT better! lol. Anyway... I read lots of comments saying the Manga was so much better. Well DUH! Isn't manga supposed to be better than most anime anyway? I still find it enjoyable. It's a show that young kids can even watch. There's no Ecchi or anything like that in it. Just the way I like it. If you are sick and tired of Ecchi popping up without warning, this is the show for you! ^_^ Anyway, despite me enjoying this at the moment, it still doesn't beat Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, or Get Backers. You'd still enjoy it though if you aren't a big nitpicker. I think I'll read the manga too to see what things are missing from the anime. (I read a few chapters) Although I do think the Japanese voice acting of Kurogane needs a little work... Plus it couldn't hurt to put a little more humour in that the manga has. Well I hope they do that for the second season. I also think they could go easier on the panning shots. Sometimes it stays on one shot for a little longer than it needs to be. Anyway, in case you all want to know the story, here it is in this link. Tsubasa Chronicle There is only one thing that REALLY bothers me though. The movie is only 35 Minutes long and the animation changed!!! >_< Well if the series DOES fall down hill as I read, then I'll always have the Manga to read. People have no complaints about the manga. ^_^ I've also got another show coming my way too. Although it's one CuteKilala doesn't watch with me. The second season of Ah! My Goddess. If you are by some miracle reading this, Sesslover18, here's a clip of the intro to the new season! I really can't wait until it starts coming out translated. ^_^ Well if she doesn't see it, anyone interested is entitled to see it too. I've been up all night, so I'm going to sleep now. Don't worry, I'll still everyone today. It's 8:50am right now, but that's 3:50am MyOtaku Time. Goodnight! Or should I say, "Good Morning"? lol.

Game Addiction Is Finally Getting Weaker!

Hi there everyone. Okay, okay, so I'm a little late. I was still addicted to Battle for Middle Earth 2. But I'm starting to gain control of myself again. I was looking for new anime that me and CuteKilala could watch. First was "Last Exile", but there was TOO much computer drawn animation, so I got put off. Then we tried "His & Her Circumstances", but the main character from the show reminded us too much of a character we hate in another show. So that got crossed off the list. But then we finally tried "Tsubasa Chronicle" AKA "Chronicle of the Wings". I have heard of it on one of your sites and decided to see what it's like. It caught my attention a lot more than the other 2. Even though I still like Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist and Get Backers better, it's still a good show. It seems like it's a cross over type of anime. Starring characters from Cardcaptors and Chobits. I saw Chii in it! O_O Funny how a character can be so famous, you don't have to watch the show they are from, like me. (I've never seen Chobits OR Cardcaptors) But still, I'm enjoying myself. It's a miracle I got CuteKilala to watch it fan subbed. lol. ^_^ Anyway, I've got a few pictures for anyone who wants to see what it looks like. Here. (You know, he kinda reminds me of Roy!) Oh aye! I almost forgot! I watched the last episode of Full Metal Alchemist. I would have been more surprised about the ending if it weren't for the gifs on some people's sites... -_-' So I've come to the conclusion, that Brig. General Hughes' funeral is the SADDEST episode I've seen in the whole show. Can't wait for the movie! ^_^ I know it's late, but I'll visit everyone I can right now. I must hurry.
