Tuesday Fun!

Anime Word of the Day
Dōjinshi (同人誌; usually romanized as doujinshi) are self-published Japanese works, usually referring to manga and novels only. They are often drawn by amateurs, but some professional artists participate as a way to publish material outside the regular publishing industry. The term is derived from dōjin (同人), meaning "literary group", "coterie", or "clique", and shi (誌) which means "magazine" or "distribution". In Western cultures, dōjinshi is often perceived to be derivative of existing work, analogous to fanfiction. To an extent, this is true: some dōjinshi are parodies or alternative storylines involving the worlds of popular manga or anime series. However, many dōjinshi with completely original characters and storylines also exist.

Opening Act:
Hello! Well I hope everyone has had a good Monday and has made it safely to Tuesday. So far I’m doing pretty well actually. I’ve been rather enveloped playing a few new video games so I can’t say I’ve done anything creative! Hehehe I’m playing FF Dirge of Cerberus which has to be one of the prettiest and funniest games I’ve played in a while. Of course I might be biased, Vincent has always been one of my absolutely fave characters in FFVII! The game is a first person shooter, which was a bit of a surprise after all the FF role playing games. But I have to admit I just love playing it…or maybe I’m just mesmerized by the cloak and Gackt playing the theme music. LoL

I’ve also been playing N3 (Ninety Nine Nights). Which I just love playing, it’s sets itself up as rather pretty hack and slash type game. But there’s actually a very involved linear storyline that rather drags you in. And some very unique and fun to play characters! And well you get to hack and slash and blow up hundreds and thousands of baddies in one spree. ^^ My personal favorite scene is one of the very first ones as you approach the Goblin fortress and thousands of goblins rush down the hill at your small group of allies. Of course I happily had my major power move available…and I cleared most of the hill of goblins before they even reached me. Hehehe Big booms are fun!

Otherwise not much else happening…watched some more KIBA and caught up on the Lunar subs of Ouran HS Host Club! ^^

Oh and I added my AIM address to my site here. So if you wanna chat with me just drop me a note. I’m usually on nights or afternoons so feel free to say hello. ^^

New Works:
Two new works for people to look at today. Sorry ignoring my muses to play video game is a bit of badness I can’t seem to get away from until I beat the games! LoL First one is a rather fun piece of Black Cat. This one is an experiment in colors…I decided I wanted to see Train playing in purple. So there you go. ^^

Second one has a much simpler reason behind it…I just really wanted to do a close up of Karura from Utawarerumono! ^^ Enjoy!

Epilogue
Hmm last movie I saw in the theater was X-Men 3, which I rather enjoyed. Even though most of my friends like to disagree with me on that opinion. LoL Too bad I liked it! ^^ I keep meaning to go see some of the newer movies, but I can’t seem to get motivated. Its so much easier to just rent them and watch them on the big screen in my living room. LoL

Glad everyone is enjoying the new sections and learning new tidbits from them as well! And yup Reno, I’m sure about the Broly work in the DBZ movies! Actually I have three of them on my computer right now! ^^ I’m not a huge DBZ fans, though I like the fight scenes though and Broly’s battle is one of my faves! Hehehe I even checked the credits just to be sure!

Jangalion – Darn it I knew I forgot to mention one of them! And I really like Peacemaker Kurogane too. I guess it skipped my mind since I watched it in Japanese. Sorry! Ah and the new background for my site is from Full Metal Panic. ^^

Random Question:
Are you looking forward to any new shows in the fall line up? Or any returning shows?
