Ah what a year this has been....

... But it surely is not over yet. So what am I moaning about....

Sorry if I scared anyone out there, I'm doing fine now once again. Had my superiors carry out my wishes so it's all good now. Donate if you want though, all up to you.

What isn't good I'm still the same skinny dude I was 3 months ago. Definitely need to start eating again.

And, some good news regarding my "secret project", I may have found that last piece I needed for my research at the end of last month, so I intend to go full swing with my project. The next part that'll suck is how seriously lacking in supplies I am, and this country I'm in isn't helping with the rather low quality things lying about.

The greatest part about my time in the USA, I made my sleeping quarters my workshop. Not possible these days I'm afraid.

To keep myself sane from all the anime I'm missing my 3 Nintendo DS's are keeping me company. Imagine that, 4 years ago it was a twist of luck I was able to find the rather hard to find Grey and Black DS Phat. That thing still has it's battery in top shape. How in gods green earth is that possible, considering my Ice Blue DS Lite battery is on the deathbed...

Rather embarassing return post...

Wow. It's been so long since my last blog post, this month a year ago, to think on my return to blogging it has to be a post I didn't want to write, but with the hard times these days I just had to.

Some of you are aware of my last recorded position, designation: Island. Name: Philippines. Apparently I’m still here, and my health took a huge dive than when I was in Germany. While I would like to tell campfire stories about my life here, as I mentioned before the times are hard now and I’m not an exception. There’s something I need to pay, that I feel I should have paid a long time ago. But with a lack of a steady income lately and efforts being made towards my health more than other things, I have to kindly ask some of you for help.

So, how, you ask? Well, if anyone can send $5 dollars my way via Paypal, I’d really appreciate it. Although, I do really need more, but as I’m asking for help I don’t want to sound demanding, but $5 is the minimum. The donation link is at the top of the left sidebar, or top left of this page, shouldn't be hard to miss. Of course, if you can send more I’ll thank the heavens for your existence, but I don’t want to make someone else end up in the sad state I am in.

I certainly hope this could be the start of bills to be paid, and to finally help me get back on my feet. I need to also find a steady income, so here’s hoping it’ll all work out.

A little ranting, but I somehow don’t understand the purpose of some hospitals these days. Aren’t they supposed to be helping people, saving them? So why is it that a person gets well, walks out the hospital doors and get slapped in the face with a death inducing bill. Why, why why…… they could at least try to remember what the person went through….. Sure, not all hospitals are the same, but still….. /end rant.

And to answer some questions, I would like to return to fansubbing, but following the advice of Aquastar and watching my health seems to be the logical thing to do now. Although, I am working on something, that hopefully you all would be proud of me (Sorry Armaggedon reference XD ). I’m not going to give in to my failing health and I do hope I’ll get through this A-ok.

Here the heck I am again lol

Well. Here I am. Last time anyone heard from me I was in Germany, working on a fansub job when I suddenly had to stop that job before I got 5 minutes into it. And for a good reason too. Now, I am in the Philippines. Yes, you heard me right. After apologizing for not being able to do my part with my last fansub job, I had traveled 22,000+ Kilometers in the last two weeks of stopping the fansub job. If I hadn’t stopped that translation, I would have been in the deepest pile of trash I would have ever been in my life. So, once again, sorry Aquastar for not being able to do the job you asked me to, but I had to in order to end up where I’m at now. In the Philippines. In a foreign country. Using an internet connection I have to pay for in this 26 floor hotel lawl. But, as I’m timed on this connection I’ll just be blunt with what I have to say.

That picture I mentioned whee months ago. That picture has been untouched until now. Now, I present to you what I should have many months ago.

First, we have this picture.
No, I didn't make that picture, I just wanted you to see it lol. Next we have:
Ah, what the hell. What happens when we merge those pics is we have this:

From Blog posts


That's right, I made a Lord of War poster type of image of Tama-nee. Don't ask why it took me this long to upload it, but just think about those dmn 22K Kilometers I traveled and there you have it. So yeah, go spread this pic wherever you internetters post pics and show the world what a busy azz like me can do with a picture of the girl I love. Wait, that sounded wrong lol....

More info on life the next time I use the net lol

September 12, 2007

I'm alive!

And you probably won't believe what has reawakened this doused fire within me. Or, you can take one stupified silly guess and blurt out "Lolitron!!!" lol

Stay tuned, I am about to go car-razy.

June 22, 2007

Health problems again, less eating, etc

I'd feel like a zombie by now. I swear the past 1-2 weeks I'd only have put about 1 meal's worth of food in my stomach. So let's say, a normal human being has 3 meals a day, right? For 7 days = 21 meals, 14 days = 42 meals. And yet here I am at 14+ days = 1 meal. Ouch. No wonder why I feel weak. Not getting enough nutrients. Which, probably has an effect on how much anime I watch. Can barely laugh during those good times as it is. Which has also affected my work performance, I don't even remember the last time I opened Photoshop. And yes, I still have to release that oh-so-special picture I finished 2 months ago. Why am I even holding onto it....

And, a rather disturbing update. It appears blog readers prefer I watch MSLN StrikerS. Why, may I ask? Is it because of that "loli" option that was in the vote options? >_>

I swear the next person who calls me lolitron will......will get $10 dollars from me via Paypal! [insert AnimesukiForums :heh: emote here]

ChevyAutobot game, Transformers, etc....

Ah, so many things to do and so little time? How do I end up in that situation?

Got the top spot back at the ChevyAutobot.com game, and doesn't look like I'll hold it if that POPUPimous Prime keeps accepting new user challenges. A person in contact with 2advanced.com told me email verification is not in play. Hmmm..... and I'm the one who's been playing that game since it opened to the public.

A copy of my ChevyAutobot stats are at the left sidebar in the Gaming links area.

June 2, 2007

Here I was not am there!

Ah, having traveled up north here in Germany, I'm now staying at my Uncle's place temporarily, with my return to the U.S.A. presumebly after this. Now, a couple of things I wanted to update with. Firstly, I know that this picture (bottom of the post) needs to see the light of day, but I'm waiting for the right time to reveal it since I myself am getting restless when it comes to that picture lol. Next, while I'm here at my uncle's house many things can happen like a rabbit nesting on me to a cat messing with me, so I'll be sure to blog those over at my personal blog.

So enough about Germany and on with the updates. Of course you may have heard that my cousin is a young small girl, so while she has easy access to my sleeping quarters I don't think my Dollwizard family will be updated yet. I must do my part in keeping her delicate mind free and clear of any disturbances this world emanates lol. Next up, I am so way behind on the anime of this current season, I was only able to acquire the Lovely Complex eps up to 6, MSLN StrikerS up to...7 or 6, and Sola up to ep 7. Man, I seriously don't think I'm up for watching those now either unless I Ipod them. Next update, my newest addition to the right sidebar, you may have noticed, is my Fansub status indicator. Now, it's not very high tech, in fact, it's a simple pathetic RSS feeder thingamajigen that updates itself off my Fansub blog. Now, you're probably wondering why don't I just blog the updates here? Well, the whole point of me creating another blog and having the RSS feeder eat it is that so I can utilize the "E-mail to blog" posting ability and blog using my PDA. As in, just email it to my fansub blog and the post will show up on the RSS eater, so you can click the link and eat my post. Yeah....uhm, weird eating aside, I aim to be more active with my blog here and my personal blog, and I do have alot of pictures for everyone.

Last bit, I have a couple of polls for everyone. First poll is about Adbux.org. Now, I know earning money online has never been a steady thing these past 5 years, and there is always bound to be a scammer amongst us. So, my question is is Adbux.org a valid, paying organization determined to rule the....yeah, you know. Ahem, yeah, my question. Uh, if you want to know, I have more than 6 dollars in there, $4 more till payout, so if anyone wants me to answer the question you can just sign up here and click whenever you feel like it, the sooner I reach payout the sooner I can know for sure whether or not Adbux is a waste of time. Now, here's the fun part: I never really intended to keep the money anyways, so if you sign up under me I'll put your name on this list I've been compiling and hold a contest, with the prize of course the payout from Adbux (if they pay). I do prefer you sign up with a name I'm familiar seeing (like one you use in a forum or on IRC)

Next poll is about my anime viewing Queue. As you may have noted MSLN, LovelyCon and Sola make up the bulk of my viewing, but I don't know which one to watch in what order. So I'm wondering what's your input as to which one is a "must watch" or what. Although I've always liked LovelyCon, it even featured a parody of House of Pain and their Jump Around song (episode 2), much to my amusement while reading the LovelyCon manga the House of Pain parodiest, UmiBouzo, is in fact a name parody of the Beach Boys.



Does Adbux.org pay up?
Yes! Give me the money. My Paypal email is....
No! They originated from Egypt using a Pyramid Scheme!
Never heard of it. I'm like a caveman, shut out from the world.
Free polls from Pollhost.com


Which shows should mangatron make his top priority to view?
Lovely Complex. Tall girl eats little guy. Great stuff.
Sola. Missing an "r", but hey, that's anime. And it has pretty girls.
MSLN StrikerS. Aren't you a lolicon, mangatron? Surely you jest.
Free polls from Pollhost.com

Of course, as always you can vote everyday and polls are multiple choice. Not that you can't make up your mind....

Next blog posts should be about more crazy stuff, like....I noticed a picture of a real life, popular person who looks just like Risa Koizumi (Lovely Complex).

April 18th, 2007....May 4th....

...Apr 18th was the last time I posted. And no, this May 04 (GMT+8) post had nothing to do with Spiderman 3 lol. I had originally planned a mass blog posting, but what do you know. The new anime season is like....clogging up my cue. I had planned to blog series like Lovely Complex, Sola, Hayate No Gotoku, etc but immediately following my announcement, I got hit with a new project to work on. And what luck, my project involved the likes of Photoshop, so away I went dwibling on PS on my free time (since closing Photoshop is like, useless right?) Might as well keep the program open lol, so here I go.

There were actually two pictures I was 'shopping, but this one was a 25 minute, what I call "cheat job" attempt I actually laughed the entire time while 'shopping this. Yeah, me laughing. Rare, considering the health issues I'm going through (I actually smoked again! And darn my eating disorder is arising again.) But enough about me and on with the pic:

The girl is from Tenga Toppa Gurren-Lagann, theme is "Optimus Prime Flames". I swear the Transformers G1 purist's/fanatics/idiot fans are the most stuck up piece of crap I have ever discovered, I just had to. You want flames? There's your flames. So why don't you just go to my personal blog and read up on what I have to say about this nonsense of "OMG flames" and "Prime doesn't have a mouth" trash. For Peter Parker's sake Prime can have a armor skirt a la Warrior style and people will still be saying "OMG GEASS PRIME HAS GIRLY SKIRT". Joke's on you hackjacks. (Note how I didn't say "every TF fan".)

Original pic:

Anyways, about my other PS dwibble: it's actually a cool one. In fact so interesting I'm holding off till the best time I am "sane" lol. Keynote: my most recent (and probably last) fansub translation was the To Heart 2 OVA, by Aquastar-anime and Avalon. Girl of the note is Tamaki Kousaka. Stay tuned to my blog for that.

Of course, I'm always finding easier ways of posting to my blog without interrupting work. One way that could've worked was using Yahoo widgets, but of course the coding was bad enough as it is. Another possible way is utilizing the widget's method, by emailing. So hows that for Outlook Express + blogspot eh? Sounds good....just need to implement it lol. And yeah, I'm still busy as like how busy Peter Pan peanut butter is returning to shelves lol. I'll do my next blog about the huge time gap/absence I did.

April 18, 2007

I am 3 days late!

3 days late? For what? Why, that sad announcement I mentioned in the previous post....several days ago XD.

As of last Sunday, I decided to postpone all fansub translating duties till further notice. I cite several reasons:

-A new project with my work came up, and I have to prioritize that.
-With less free time than I had before, I decided to use the remaining free time with watching anime(to clear my queue) and for other anime humoristic concoctions I may come up with.
-Some of you may not know, but I hate typing. Well, just a little bit...not exactly hate, but when you've done that for a considerable amount of times in your life, it get's kind of stale, and my last translation job, To Heart 2 OVA, was nearly 400 lines and I kinda went ballistic lol. We can probably thank Mavis Beacon for that >_>
-And.....my ears are sensitive, kinda like a....rabbit lol. I aim to use my headphones the least amount of times as much as possible.
-(What kind of excuse was that previous one? Lame lol)

Ahem anyways, the main point is, stopping my translation duties does little to free up any free-time I have. I don't game as I usually have done, I don't draw as much as I did before, and well, very little time these days....

It hurts me to have a minor role in fansubbing, as I found it quite enjoyable working with fansubs. Now, I'm not saying I'm quitting fansubs, I'm just stopping translations for groups. Oddly enough, that makes it one less translator in the fansub world with the already low amount of translators these days.

Have any thoughts on my decision? Leave a comment and vote on the following poll, as I now introduce post based polls specifically for the post in mind.


What do you think of mangatron's decision about translating?
mangatron! You betrayed us! Anime will never be the same without you!
Rest well, old friend.
By not translating, you disgrace all the anime girls you love.
You're lying.

Welcome to mangatron Ver 2.0 Master Grade!

Ok well not master grade lol, still some tweaks to the templatey I must do, but yeah, new layout designed to separate both sidebar columns to hold their respective items. Also means an entirely new and different way of doing things now. Changes that are noteworthy:
  • -All blog related items are now on the left. Which means if you're looking for something related to the blog, you'll have to look at the left. Like if there's some nice ecchi picture posted here you might find a link to a source on the left....hehehe....
  • -All other special items go on the right. Like polls, ads, pop-ups, troj-.......uh, forget the last two lol....
  • -Now all posts will be tagged, so you can find the related posts using the links at the left sidebar. Don't ask why I didn't do so earlier ~__~
  • -Of course, Chocosis banner of the old blog is gone. Word has it a campaign to erase the "lolitron" nickname has begun....
  • -Note Fate Testarossa banner XD
  • -This blog will be strictly anime and manga based. Posts about my odd life will go to my personal blog, posts about my gaming life will be posted at the Gamespot blog.
  • -And, last but not least, behaviours will change lol.
Now, to answer a few questions:

Q: What happened to you? Did you die?
A: I'm right here lol.

Q: Where?
A: Next question please.

Q: Fate-oh chan <3!
A: NEXT!

Q: Behaviours? You mean you will embrace the "lolitron" nickname?
A: Ok this is getting out of hand lol....

All new behaviours I will do in the future will be explained now, as my FAQs seem to have failed lol. Notice the links area on the top left? I've linked to the sites I visit regularly. Meaning I read the articles, and I'm going to provide my view of them here. Yes, all news/updates and anything I see these days I'm going to provide my insane/crazy view on them. lol. All part of the anime humor title I wish to resurrect. And, look at the right. Notice two oddly cute girls one on top of the other. ......No, not the yuri way, I meant one image above the other lol. Now, I know this is weird, and don't ask how I found the site lol, but it's one of those things that let you create your own, ahem, girl using pre-made templates/images like shirts, skirts, pantsu and.....wait, I never seen the last part lol....ahem anyways, the whole process doesn't take even 10 minutes, and who knows....I just may make a whole plethora of them lol. Favorites and newly made girls will go on the right, and NO! They are not LOLI lol XD. Site is still beta, apparently. So why do I bother using this site? Well, I draw manga now and then, and I find it amusing creating a new design for a girl every now and then. Who knows,I just may create a cute design from this site and use it in a manga lol. Next new "behaviour" of mine, I was thinking of returning to the Photoshop side of me. You know, like that Sayuri Amamiya pantsu I made. No, I don't intend to do de-clothing like them dudes at Ozaku Getter, but the kind of Photoshopping like.....what I said earlier lol.

Polls will be added to posts that are opinion based, like for instance, my episode summaries. And anything crazy I may concoct. Polls will also mostly be "What do you think" kind of polls, although that may change.

Well, that seems like a lot. I must have alot of time on my hands, ja? Well, this sunday I am going to make an announcement, and, as a spoiler it may be a sad news kind of announcement lol. But, if you pursuade me to re-think this "sad announcement", maybe I'll think it over, huh?

Once again, I am back, and remember to update your links! http://animangatron.blogspot.com. Silly Blogger, for some odd weird reason won't let me re-use the old domain I used. Also, if you're an Animesuki Forum member and someone who is passionate about anime as I am drop a comment on this post so I can add you to my buddy list. Right now I'm compiling a special list of people that I will reveal the purpose of later, but even if you're not an Animesuki forum member drop a comment with your most used username and forum/site location of username and I'll add you to this "Special list". What is this list anyways? Hint: I hear some of you don't have as much money as others...

I never did say what happened to me, right? Go to my personal blog to find out what happened to me.

List of changes:

-New 3 column layout derived from a Final Sense design
-Added: mangatron's locations. Links to forums/sites I am a part of.
-Added: Danny Choo, Moe-yo!, Gunota, Dalong banners
-New gaming stat added: Delta Force Blackhawk Down
-Added: Gamespot badge
-Added: Resource links
-Added: Post tags

Have something to say about this new layout? Drop a comment and vote your respective vote on the poll at the right sidebar column. And don't forget to visit my personal blog as I have alot to explain as to my absence for the past two weeks. Also, all IM options have been removed from forums and the like, I had one bastard who IM's me telling me to feck off lol, without bothering to tell me what to feck off and where XD.
