Hunter X resuming on 4th jan!
The news came out on 11 nov on animenews and i've been dying to share this great news with all of you XD
We can look forward to Gintama movie 2010, Gintama: Shinyaku Benizakura-Hen, sometime next year. Finally after a few 'scams' it has been confirmed =D Same goes for Trigun, Gundam oo and Suzumiya Haruhi. Next year is an anime-movie year whee
Cowboy Bebop live action is coming out next year too XD and it's starring Keanu Reeves as Spike. Wow. I'm finding it hard to imagine Spike as anyone else other than the anime version haha. Didn't watch the Dragonball Evolution movie which starred Justin Chatwin and Chow Yun Fat but i'm definitely going to watch the Cowboy Bebop one.. Hoping desperately that it will not let us fans down. At least it's comforting to know that the original Cowboy Bebop producers will be involved in producing the live action movie so that should prevent excessive insanity.

Superior Manga by Ichtys
...................................... crows: ark aaaark aaaarrrrrk....
Eh ok this isn't a good example of the hilarious scenes i've been talking about. But you get my point =D Even the characters and sidekicks are well crafted to add depth to the plot and are not totally useless. For example in Bleach i get the feeling that some of the vice captains and baddies are added in just for the sake of being there to be fought or laughed at.
No news of a Superior anime production in the near future which i'm not surprised cos this manga isn't well known. The translation project for Superior has also been dropped and picked up (due to the terribly long chapters?) I'm really thankful to all translators and people involved in the uploading process for all manga series because alot of work has to be put in to scan, align and clean the pages and of course, translate the content to proper english. Paiseh if i missed out anything hehe
So when you are in the mood for dragons, demons, heroes and swords, try reading Superior and i'm sure either the bishies or humour will win you over
Okay this took me an hour and i'm going back to reading bio now. =D Exams are ending whoo can't wait =DD

There was a cockroach in my room
Anyway, the following parargraphs are not reviews but personal thoughts and expectations regarding the new series
I feel really out of touch with the new season of anime, which seems promising XD finally season 2 of Darker Than Black, titled Darker than Black: Ryusei no gemini, came out early october. Whoo~ though the 1st episode left me stunned to see April's death. This shows that the 2nd season will not involve much of M16 syndicate. Sure enough, the charming magician August died in the 2nd episode =( There goes a bishie. Graphics are up to standard, as expected of a Bones production (my 2nd favourite animation studio after Madhouse!) Seeing Hei so unkempt with empty eyes makes my heart ache and seriously i can't recall the details from season 1 so i plan to rewatch the series after As
Kobato anime came out too O_o i didn't even know about its adaptation by madhouse. But again, i was never well informed regarding manga adaptations into anime. Might watch Kobato given that it's by CLAMP. But it's plot isn't the kind that i like.. shoujo josei-ish.
No fighting=boring
Next up is Fairy Tail which holds an uncanny ressemblance to One Piece and Rave. I have not watched the anime nor read the manga but looking the opening, i think the plot direction is going to be something similar to Rave. Glomps the Musica look alike XD
Zan Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei is hilarious and insightful as usual. For example, part of the episode i watched recently discussed the over simplified and altered version of Schrodinger's Cat Experiment where you put a box over a sick cat. This means that there are 2 co-existing but opposing possibilities of the cat remaining alive or dead to people outside the box until the box is opened. And the insanity starts when this logic is applied to daily life. Eg the Schrodinger's forehead box for people with receeding hairline so that they can choose to believe that they still have a head full of hair. Also, we have the Schrodinger's wife/husband box for people who keep divorcing so that there is the possibility of marrying an ideal other half.
I guess it'll only work for optimistic people.
I'm still waiting for deadman wonderland anime and hunter x update.. no idea when it will out, but someday.. in the future..

The last official day of school
Saturday, 3 October 2009
So not the drama
Two days ago i dreamt about having a math class in the computer lab with those old bulky computers. My math tutor's face was the only human face i remembered from the dream.
Yesterday i dreamt that my sec4 tuition teacher who tutored me in math and physics turned up at my house again to tutor me in math.
Reality 1. I'm so doomed for math though half the cohort scored A.
2.I have something against my current math tutor because he insulted me last year.
3. Being the saikang CIP rep, i fought against time to collate the entire class CIP record using the computer. Sent the email to my teacher at 6.30am before i left for school.
3.I saw a guy who looks alot like my tuition teacher alight from a bus yesterday while waiting for 156.
Darnit, my life is soooooo happening -.-

UVERworld-- thoughts on Koishikute
UVERworld is a Japanese rock band with 5 members: Takuya as the lead singer, Katsuya (band leader) and Akira on the guitar, Nobuto on bass and Shintarou on drums
My 1st contact with UVERworld music was around 4 years ago, D-tecnolife-- Bleach's 2nd opening and I found Takuya's voice extremely hard to ignore. I have never really fallen in love with anyone's voice before, not even for David Tao but yep Takuya's voice did the trick. Takuya's voice has a certain smoothness to it that can melt any girl (well, almost every girl) and imo, he sounds really sincere and brings out the emotions of the songs, especially the slow ones. (even though sometimes his 哭腔 startles me alittle) It helps that Takuya composes both the melody and lyrics for the band. Infact it's this amazing talent that attracted me. I mean there's a reason why i don't blog about Chemistry (another jap pop group) but about UVERworld and that is because i'm smitten with Takuya and his voice and the beautiful songs he has composed.
Ok as i said that was a few years ago but the reason why i'm blogging about this only now is because of my reignited passion for the band. I chanced upon a song from the Proglution album a few weeks ago which is considered really late cos the album was released in sept last year ._.
恋いしくて , Koishikute, which means 'I love you'. The melody and later on the lyrics got me marvelling at how talented people can be.. and how i can never reach that level haha.
Will not be posting the full lyrics translation here but just a small part from the bridge which i found especially appealing:
So there i was, gaping at the translation and listening to the song in loops. What a beautiful song =)
Let me stress again, UVERworld is a rock band so slow songs arent that common though the slow rock songs are really worth listening to, eg Kimi no suki na uta and eh.. many more lah. The more commonly heard rock songs from UVERworld are each special in their own ways with inspiring lyrics and catchy melodies amidst the rapping =D Here, i find the drummer- Shintarou really talented too haha
So once again, i really like UVERworld and thanks for the great songs which accompanied me through prelims and maybe A levels too =D
Bugright is my favourite UVERworld album!

Holidays =/= happy X Hikaru no go
Moving on to my main point today, i love hikaru no go (hng) =D I honestly can't remember if i started reading it before or after hunter x.. oh wait, it was after i fell in love with hxh that i picked up hng haha. Reading it again brings back sooooooo much memories; the sec 2 days at nanyang where i would rush to the library the moment bell rings to borrow the manga.
Chibi Sai is irresistable
Yep, until the As are over, i'll try not to slack..... as much =XSunday, 9 August 2009
What if your best isn't enough?
So glad there's no school tmr. I have finished all my homework but it's a good time to do more hw and revision in advance and convince myself that i will be able to get a place in the local universities. Nevermind the course..
I know that i'm not one of the best, nor am i among the last but it's not good enough to be in the middle. Good enough to compete? Or not to disappoint myself? Currently no. *Sniff*
I'm raving for a game of friendly go aka weiqi. Not against myself please.. And not against some internet opponent too =(
To understand the next sentence, you will have to watch enough of gundam seed.
I must go into SEED mode! *Hopes for some crystal thingy in eyes to break and become emotionless*

Long time no see
Ooh check out this cool hollow ichigo drawn on 'my' gp table. I have always sat in the same area for gp and never chose my desk but after ichigo was drawn on it, that desk officially became 'mine'

Meiji yoghurt with aloe vera is the best
Sorry for the long break, presentation night is finally over and i want to thank Yu Fei and Janice for the flower and chocolate!!! Thanks to everyone who wished me luck and listened to me rant about how worried i was days before the concert ie Sherin and Yang Zhi hahaha i'm feeling quite high now
Will be watching the youth orchestra performance at esplanade tomorrow night with celestyn whoo~ so cool but i hope i wont reach home too late.
Haven't gotten back any of the papers though my cts ended 2 weeks ago. All because of H1N1 and all the make up tests. Finally, i can kinda step down from cca and focus 100% on school work. It feels quite empty to go straight home to the books after school without having to worry about conducting the next day or band pracs but i will miss my instrument badly =(
While reading a fanfic the other day, i suddenly had an epiphany: Athrun Zala is the perfect man. In all the anime and manga i've watched and read, i find his personality to be the most charming and eh.. acceptable. As in i approve of his actions/decisions most of the time and i understand the reasons behind them. As compared to the main character of gs who is emotional (aka cry baby), Athrun is more matured and thoughtful. This is quite impressive, for a non main character. Still perfect does not equate to favourite and that explains why Athrun was never one of my top 5 characters.
Eh i know this post is very disjointed.Thursday, 2 July 2009
This indescribable sense of relief
BYE BYE CTS! Hello prelims and A levels.. Oh well. It felt great to finish all the papers in 3 days though it was terrible that history and chem were placed on the same day. Can't change the A level schedule so might as well get used to it now.
The night before history and chem was terrible, i was seriously contemplating doing some self mutilation. All because of history. INT essay ok but INT sbq, SEA sbq and SEA essay all cmi. Of all subjects, i had to be the least confident in the subject which is taught by the teacher i respect (and am afraid) the most of. Or maybe it's the other way round haha either way it's not a good feeling i tell you.
Still, it's over and i managed to come up with something sophisticated (i hope).
Next thing to worry about it the performance at the durian. We can't show our faces with this level of playing! Noooooooooo. die die die =(

Blazer drive -- Kuroki
I understand where the teacher's coming from though, about how those girls are only 10 years old and their overprotective parents. Still the teacher said 'it's a school event and we as teachers or mentors, do not go out with students. Anyway, they're on different levels from us and you won't like to hang out with them' Haha, quite true for some lah.
So.. is it really that much of a taboo for teachers to become friends with their students? Oh well.. I guess it depends on the age and the maturity of the student.
Oh dear i'm so easily distracted. Ok changing topic here. I've not seen a loveless manga update for 2 months. Blazer drive seems to have disappeared too =(
I've not said much about Blazer drive here but it's one of the few series i look forward to seeing each month XD Here's my eye candy in the series XD
This hottie goes by the name of Kuroki and nope he's not the main character hehe. It doesn't turn me off that his hair is bright pink and that he's terribly scared of dogs. Guess i'm weak when it comes to that kind of grin XD I think Kuroki is coooool~~ And i look forward to the day when i finally get to see his eyes *daydreams*
Of course, when i like a manga series, i don't only look out for bishies.. the plot plays an important role too. Quite action packed and it's the cliche shounen manga which I fall easily for. Written and illustrated by Seishi Kishimoto, younger twin brother of Masashi Kishimoto who created Naruto, the art is quite similar ahaha. No wonder i found myself thinking about Shikamaru unconsciously while reading the 1st chapter of blazer drive.
In the world of Blazer Drive, Mystickers (stickers), when placed on an object and traced over, can give the specific effect of the shape it takes eg fire or electricity. Only certain people can attach a mysticker on their skin and invoke this source of power without causing themselves any harm and they are called Blazers. So the manga follows Daichi as he discovers his power as a blazer and fights off baddies along with a group of blazers to save his brother =D It is hinted in the series that Daichi is special.. no extra information yet =D
Blazer drive has the potential to be made into an anime.. maybe after it has more chapters and a clearer direction. Before that, i think Code breaker is more likely to be made into an anime. Will blog about Code breaker some time soon whee~ it's an awesome series, even better than blazer drive. Don't ask why i blogged about Blazer drive 1st though, i have no idea too.
Kuroki san's excited about becoming animated!

The fridge reeks of durian X Ranma 1/2

SO NOT THE DRAMA
I went to check the marked answers and 4 of the answers i chose for multiple choices (initially correct) were changed! Some system glitch or what. ARGH So i ended up getting them wrong and failing the test when i could have passed well. I AM PISSED.
Attempted the 2nd quiz on normal distribution. I was half way through it when the lights flickered once and so did my comp screen. I think electricity in the room was cut off for just a second. That was enough to erase all of my answers and i didn't have the sense to write them down on a piece of paper while doing the quiz. So smart of me right T_________T
Forget it. I'm not going to do the quizzes anymore. I'm going to read manga, lots of them, cos i have done alot of work today. *pouts* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SNTD
I think the only thing that can cheer me up now is Ranma 1/2 manga. Which i cant find anywhere! SNTD

'Late' night post on Beelzebub oga
Most importantly, CHEM TEST TMR. Only on chem periodicity and halogens but i hope i can do ok.
Oga's version of what you should do when you encounter a baby-who-appeared-out-of-a-man-who-split-into-2-and-disappeared. Read from right to left.
Oga realised why he looked so different from what he had in mind: His mouth turned down and his eyes did not smile when he tried to look friendly.

I survived this week!
At least Mr Han found my group's presentation interesting hahahamas XD Math test was bad, chem quiz ok and gp good. SYF was satisfactory. I felt that the award was reflective of all the effort the band put in so yea i'm a happy girl.
Feeling happy now cos i just added this application on facebook where you get to choose the top 5 things for many different questions. Being me, i searched for the favourite anime character question and wow they actually listed Shalnark. Ahaha Goku came in second followed by Kamui, Yzak and Sagara. Well...... i would have liked to put many more, especially Gon, Subaru and Kyouya but it's more interesting to choose only one character per anime =D Searched for the 'top 5 manga i've been looking for' but there was no such question. Haha i checked out the favourite manga instead and yay there is Tokyo Babylon!! XD
Erm.. so this shows that simple things in life make me happy =) hahahhamas
From Saijo no meii. Weak link, but I miss meiji chocolates =l

Honey and clover illustration book
Did homework for the entire morning and went shopping with mum for foldable mattresses. She also brought me to kino wahaha. Somehow i feel more comfortable about buying anime and manga related stuff when she's around to approve of it. =l Anyway we went to the kino at bugis junction which is smaller in size so less variety of manga and illustrated collections. But i have noticed that the prices tend to be cheaper at the bugis junction kino than that at orchard. I've never been to the one at liang court branch X__X need to make a trip there to compare the prices haha
Yea so this was what i got with the voucher
Honey and clover illustration book! XD I remember begging mum to buy it for me last year, june. She refused but my aunty from malaysia who was with us then offered to buy it for me. I was greedy ehehehe and chose the bowboy bebop one instead. Yea.. spotted this book at the kino at orchard last saturday but chose not to get it yet. True enough, the one at bugis junciton was cheaper-- by $4 haha better than nothing right! (hopefully the kino at liang court doesnt sell it at a cheaper price)
Close up of the cover picture
Me: I've been thinking about you ever since june last year everytime i visit Kino
Me: See, i came to get you after all! Sorry that you had to wait for 1 year =D *muacks*
Book: ..... -__-lll
Takemoto, Yamada and morita. Chibis own.
One of my favourite pictures in the book. Takemoto on his journey of self-discovery. The background was so nicely drawn and i felt attracted to this picture. Almost all the pictures in the book seemed to be drawn using water colour, creating a pastal and gentle effect.
Last picture =D i was lazy to take more photos haha. On the whole, a good buy but sad to say, the book wasn't in tip top condition. Oh well it's alright, i take good care of all my books =)
I see that kino has had an influx of different Code Geass art books. Was tempted to get one (since the character designs are by CLAMP) but decided against it cos i'm still hopefull to find a cheaper version of Tokyo Babylon manga at kino. Spotted Togashi's art book but it was on Yu yu hakusho so i didn't get it either. Kino should try to take better care of their books.. i saw this X 'infinity' illustrated collection, containing the same pictures as the one i own, in a terrible condition; the cover was torn quite badly =( i dont think anyone will buy it anymore.

'Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, they don't bring him home. They marry the good guy.'
This is my pwning handwriting while nodding off during chem. Well it's not that bad, but bad enough. Check it out, i actually wrote 'potentially' twice
Hahaha
My favourite shirt!! Got it in thailand last year ^_^
(Randomness) Xblade manga sounds hilarious: 'A boy meets a sword and history will never be the same.'

One ferrero rocher a day keeps the blues away
Yes.. i'm still thinking about the Tokyo Babylon manga i was so close to getting. The brilliant colours were so tempting.. Subaru... T__T I wonder if i'll find all 7 books in the traditional edition at kino. I spotted the english version published by another company at kino early this year but the cover art was not as nice. And they cost bombs =(
Syf is just 2 weeks away and the 1st rehearsal is this coming friday. I'll need to get court shoes by wednesday howhow!?
