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.

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.

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.

I'm not a lolicon, there's already a lolitron.org lol...

...You know, despite all that I'm really screwed lol. So I've recently finished researching Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~, and although I haven't compiled everything together, I guess I really have had time well spent lol. So, next up while I prepare for the mass blog attack in store for the month of April, I will showcase a few School Days related pictures for the upcoming School Days anime. So, for the ones who stalk me only to say "Hey lolitron!", here is the picture that can sink my boat lol:

Image filesizes are large and in charge. Download if you have the bandwidth.

Friends (or those on my animesuki forum buddy list) can ask for the non-watermarked image, but then again you'd ask for the photoshop file, wouldn't you? XD Ah the world we live in lol....

And something that, contrary to some of the game's darker endings, is quite a happy picture:
You know, you are a pervert if you spied their pantsu on first image load...although you are a oppai-con if you were able to identify Kotonoha's breast in a split second.....lol...ahem, anyways, yes, striped pantsu is a win-win situation- AHEM I mean stockings are adorable- Er I mean gosh darnit, what am I saying lol...I seem to torpedo my boat with each sentence I type. So, uh....yeah, my marketing campaign for School Days has just begun, and this is only the beginning! Beware the mangatron ^__^

Yeah, I collaged the Hikaru image compilation above. Painstaking, quick photoshop job lol. So you want to know where the rest of these images come from, ja? Chances are, you've already seen them, but if you want more, hmm....there is this very nice School Days manga....uh huh and it's so cute....aha yeah and it's.....if you want more, I guess you can leave a comment on this post, no signup needed so post away and let me know, if mother nature does not induce a nosebleed into me I just may torrent it...lol...

And, another update on the mangatron's blog here. Nice, huh?

New post of March! Already April? Geez Louise Franbouise....

And so, my drive to create a mass blog attack has been renewed. With my place in fansubs deeply rooted, I've been thinking of something I've been neglecting for quite some time now: my anime humor. Sure, I've been showcasing it very much at the Animesuki forums, but I think it's time my blog takes over the humor and I'm just going to go all out. And well well, what do we have here? My first anime humor attack starts with Tokimeki no less! And what do we have here?

My girls of anime, that's Sayuri Amamiya!

That is her! With some panchira(pantyshot) for the fans lol....

I knew it. I knew it all along. It just had to happen, and to the goddess herself! Who's Miss Perfect now, Bitshoujo? XD

Ah, my mind is a terrible thing to team up with....and, don't forget to visit my none-anime related blog here. New update on what I bring with myself when I travel. Isn't that one handheld gaming system too many? lol...

The above Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~ screenshots are property of their respected owners. That includes the mangatron if he's sane enough lol. Image originated from yours truly, not ripped from 4chan or some other bloody site.

2 Groups!?? Isn't that too much? lol

My aching body aside, I've a bit of news concerning my status in the field of fansubs. Many of you have known that the group Ryoumi kicked me out citing.... whatever the reason was lol. So while I helplessly floated around IRC, enjoying my vacation GNU-fansubs owner-type of dude Power2All decided to go to the Ryoumi website and see what my profession is lol. So he sees me blubbering something in the GNU IRC channel, to which he raids me and asks if I can TLC(Translation Check) [un-named series]. So, I figured I'd take a look at [un-named series], to which I realized the raw was 400mb lol. But, I do seem to find the series fascinating, so I decided to give ep 01 a crack. Then, not long after deciding, pichu over at Ryoumi tells me Spinal agreed to have me back, to which he adds "as a TL/QC". Translator and Quality Control/Check? Something I did with Venus Versus Virus 03 re-translation must've made them come to this conclusion lol.

So there you have it, I am now assisting two fansub groups, which....I hope I don't conk myself out. Because, I am trying to heal myself after all, and I feel my time here in Germany will come to a close soon and I just may.......hang around in the months to come.

So it's the new years, and where's my anime humor? lol

Yeah, I know. In case you didn't hear, January I was sick to the point where I couldn't eat anything and I could barely sleep. Not that I have been sleeping lol, but truth is, I think I'm in worse shape than I currently think I am. See, lack of nutrients and energy really crippled me, where I then easily sprained my foot, and, of course making it harder to walk. But oh, it didn't stop there. Not only was my shoulder flaring up again (see archive for post about my shoulder), but it is now affecting my arm, which forced me to put it in a casty thing for several weeks. It's getting better, but then it told me something, if I hadn't been sick, I would've been traveling all over Asia by now and just totally crippled. So i'm kinda glad I'm getting this time to heal myself, I sure would not have liked it if I got crippled while traveling, it would've sucked major.

So yeah, I'm pretty much homestuck until I heal up, so for now, no traveling. Which, brings us to something else in mind. With Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~ episode 19 airing, I have certain things to discuss lol. First up, episode titles for 20-22.

Ep 20: Desire
Ep 21: Christmas (eve)
Ep 22: New year

Hmm, quite the festive thing going on lol. Wonder who's going to spend the holidays with who....

Anyways, some Sakurai x Sayuri stuff to throw around. So, episode 19 once again keeps up the tradition of the "Sakurai x Sayuri fire" that's been burning my butt down for the past few months. So, to add more fuel into the fire, here's our first screeny:
Ah hell, we can't tell if that's them, can we? Let's zoom in on the atrocity at hand lol:
Ah, yes, that's them. Seems they are both laughing about something. Wonder what it could be...Sayuri-chan is preg with his baby, hmm? Or perhaps they are thinking about their honeymoon....hmm hhhhm, or maybe they are thinking about their wedding plans, and who to invite....well, if they do, they surely won't invite Aoba lawl.....

So anyways, what makes the scene gold is what Aoba is thinking, like if it's true Sayuri-chan is a slut, a slave for Sakurai's student council bidding XD. Whatever it is, they look happy, except...when Sayuri-chan turned her head, looked in Aoba's direction and....lolz Aoba scrams, but what is more golden, is as soon as he turns the corner, he goes "...blah bah blah oh, a Dolphy keychain! Mina-chan will mate with me for this!" lol....

Uhm, yeah, whatever I was trying to say, Aoba sure cannot be serious about a relationship right now. Whatever it is, he can't keep his mind on it, as this scene definitely showed. Bad Aoba, no wonder why you made Mina-Mina send 245 pm's, you didn't even remember you have a phone, much less her number XD.

Below is a backup of the AS post here.

[QUOTE=Owaranai Destiny;826108]Is it all right for me to say that you're batshit crazy, mangatron? :p

Oh well...Tokimeki is full of madness, anyway. Perhaps I should adopt a way of viewing somewhat akin to yours. Makes everything more fun than just seriously talking about who's going to end up with who. :heh:

TsukasaxMina yuri pairing=:naughty:[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=npal;831587]:D
/me happy with the turning of events. Now Mina and Tsukasa can team up, kick Riku's and Sayuri's butt and then my dream TsukasaxMina couple will commence :D

...As if :heh:

/me hangs Mina banner alongside Tsukasa's. Hurray! :D[/QUOTE]

You know what, I think I better stop feeding this Tsukasa x Mina-Mina yuri pairing to you guys....I don't want to be held responsible [b]if[/b] it does happen :heh::heh:

And yeah, call me anything, crazy, insane, but....don't call me lolitron! I'll be angry! You don't want to see me when I'm angry :heh: :heh:

So, anyways....where was I...Oh, that's right. I NEED TO RANT ABOUT MY FANSUBBING STATUS!!! :heh: No, just kidding :p So, I was.....somewhere, yes, that's right. Normally you'd see me here an hour or two after airtime but of course, me taking my leisurely good time I kinda...fell asleep yesterday :heh:

Aha, that's right. Mina-Mina. My beloved Mina-Mina, oh how I.... WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG :heh: :heh: Here, have a looksey into the past:heh::
[URL="http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=808838&postcount=867"]http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=808838&postcount=867[/URL]

So, if ep 18 didn't really emphasize it yet, the prayer starts to have it's affect. (Yes, I know. Biggest story of ep 18 was.....THE SAKURAI x SAYURI MOMENT!!!XD No just kidding...biggest story was the Tsukasa-chan drug-use and it's portrayal on national television :heh:) Ok ok the biggest story of ep 18 certaintly wasn't about Mina-Mina :heh: but we can bet now that the biggest story of ep 19 was, of course.....YET ANOTHER SAKURAI x SAYURI-CHAN MOMENT!!!!XD ok ok, I hear you I'll just take my Sakurai x Sayuri musings somewhere else and cry myself to shame :upset: :heh:

Hmm, kinda funny me talking about ep 19 outside of the spoiler box, eh? Well you should remember that I am very much not the spoiler type, and since this episode is very emotional for perverts, I figure it's best you watch for yourself. Wait, something was wrong a couple of words back....:heh:

So anyways, about that link I posted above, since fansubs are out at this timeframe, it's...safe. Seifuku.....ahem, anyways, my question in...question is, episode 11. Yeah, read my above link and you'll see I was very bothered by the lack of continuity that ep 11 had moving over to ep 12, how I was bothered by the use of the phone numbers 9only once?) and considering now I will drop a bomb so massive, it will make Chernobyl look like picnic :heh:

[color=red]-[/color]In episode 11, what? You want me to spell it out for you? Re-watch it again you lazy butts :heh: ahem anyways, ep 11's biggest story.....Sakurai x Sayuri!:heh: Ok, ok next time I mention that infamous pairing again you can all slap me XD but ehem, biggest story was....the prayer! Yes, that's right! The "I want Aoba's phone number, so I can call in the CTU and have them trace his location and give me updates every 5 minutes on my phone" prayer Mina-Mina had :heh: (sorry, two hour special for 24 yesterday, couldn't resist :heh: ) I'm sorry, am I drunk? That did happen in ep 11 right? :heh:
[color=red]-[/color]So let's all go back in time and re-watch ep ...08! Yes, you heard me right, [b]re-watch it[/b] you lousy Mina-chan fans....I ought to slap all of your buttz for making me type this much, I have a hurting hand you know. Anyways, think back...yes, put your fingers pointing to your heads and think! Think with all your might! What happened in ep 08? Well, once again, like the above paragraph, the prayer! Yes, that's right, the prayer that Mina-Mina had! Except we all know what she prayed for, for Aoba to be a real man and call her Mina-chan, ja? Well, that's not my point right here. Yes, that was me slapping you in the head, that is [b]not[/b] the point here. Believe it or not, it's what she said [i]before[/i] that. Remember? "I want to set a record on my own, not because of a prayer"(retranslated lol). And then next comes "But if I were to pray for something...."

See where I'm getting at? She's not really good with prayers, it seems. It's either she's too young or she just had some bad experience...earlier?:heh: So she really doesn't like depending on prayers to help her get through life. Now, we can see it wasn't exactly her cup of tea, praying and all that. But whoa ho ho, she ups and prays in ep 11. She wants his phone number. Ok, let's do a phone number swap Nintendo Wifi style. [[color=red]spoiler[/color]]"Wow, we have each others phone number, let's just use it once before ep 18" :heh: oh, lookey here. It carries onto ep 19! Oh no, Mina-Mina is just distraught at her phone, tirelessly pm'ing and calling the bloody Aoba, all to no avail....until he charges his phone:heh:.

So you see, everyone. Moral of...the day is "Be careful of what you wish for" :heh: In Mina-Mina's case, prayer wasn't her cup of tea. While she succesfully drank tea the previous two times, the power of her worries soon took it's affect, which shows why she didn't want to pray about her swimming, for fear of her failing. So if she had not prayed to ask Mr. Aoba for his phone number, [[color=red]spoiler[/color]]we wouldn't have an episode 19 filled with the largest cell-phone bill in anime ever :heh:. Get what I mean? This is the basis of Mina-Mina's story; She's young, she's frail, and when she makes a prayer, by god whoever is involved better make good on his/her part or else we'll have yet another crying girl :heh:

Now, I shall build a spoiler box for my zany insanity is just beginning :heh:
[spoiler=Episode 19]Ok, I decided to keep my Sakurai x Sayuri musings off the forum and on my blog, kinda helps keep my blog active so I can start blogging again. Now, we all know Mina-Mina has had a rough time the past several hours, and guess who decides to ruin my day.....yes that's right, the enemy of the Tsukasa x Mina-Mina pairing, Mo-chan! In case you were not paying attention to the loli, Mo-chan is the pink haired hime who is Mina-Mina's lifelong friend. Anyways, first words off her mouth was..."Hey, Mi-chan." :heh: ARRRRR!!! She totally ruins the Tsukasa x Mina-Mina pairing! I must....wait, I pledged not to mention this pairing ever again lol, for fears of me being right, if even :heh:

So, hmm what else did I want to rant about....Oh ja, Mina-Mina at one point decides to take a trip down memory lane. Now, Anime taught me well that when someone takes a trip down memory lane, they soon enough take charge and resolve their worries [b]very[/b] soon. Seeing Mina-Mina finish her trip had me thinking, she's gonna drop a bomb and Aoba better not defuse it :heh:

Next we have.....wait, what else is there to talk about this episode. It's all about Mina-Mina, so I better just keep it at that. Must resist urge to talk about gift shop moment between Sakurai and Sayuri-chan :heh:....So, uh.....yeah, Mina-Mina was very hurt this ep....Uh huh and then she is just so tiny, so cute....yeah and then I.......And when she.....

AH UHM WHU WHAT? Sorry, I think I just dozed off there. I don't really like spoiling, so forgive me. Instead, I'll do just what I've always done, drop bombs and make ya alle blow yer silly minds out :heh:

Now, for the first time, I know the real reason why Mina-Mina must speak with the Aoba!

[b]She's pregnant!!!![/b]
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v497/hdn/minapregnancy.jpg[/IMG]

Ok ok, you all can shoot me in the azz, but seriously, I noticed this at first run. Took me some getting to get the screeny, but yes, that really is Mina-Mina. Now, this is the scene where she was watching the Dolphy show, and as soon as she got up all hell broke loose in my head, and voila, I go on a berserk spree and think all sort of weird stuff. But of course, this was the first thing I thought of, that she was preg and....needs a father :heh:

[size=1](ok ok, we can cite animation quality as the factor in the picture, but really, it sure looks like it. The circled region is where she has the baby, and the red line is what a normal [b]virgin[/b] would've looked like. And [b]NO[/b], this wasn't photoshopped....except for the circle and line [/size]:heh:

What? This is what I mean by keeping an open mind, by having weird thoughts my enthusiastical viewing of this anime is puckered up and my enjoyment levels are at their all time high's! :heh:

Ahem, back to the ep....oh, that's right. Oh, look, one of my favorite moments!

[b]Look out Mina-Mina, they are going to attack you![/b] :heh:
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v497/hdn/minaunderattack.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler]

[spoiler=continuing the above spoiler]Uh, yeah, so....lol uh, oh that's right! Another thing. Careful everyone, I may just embaress you to the point where you may not post for days :heh:

Now, remember how I told everyone how I just may end up being the greatest Tokimemo fan? Uh huh, and then I thought, "you know what, right now I am Mina-Mina's greatest fan right now." Oh, you don't believe me? Here, let me explain something that, I may blame my enthusiasm, will either make you laugh or cheer :heh:

You see, during that, ahem attack scene above lol, for those of you who have watched it, or seen [b]monir's[/b] screenshots, you will note that scene when Mina-Mina puts forth her tiny cute hands and touches the glass, starting to cry. At that very moment, without impulse, I stretched forth my hands, yes you read it right :heh:, while the episode was running, I stretched my hand forward [i]and touched my LCD where her hand was[/i], and at that very moment, no it wasn't a Benny Hinn feeling, at that moment I suddenly felt such a stab that I almost started to cry along with her (Can you imagine, the almighty insane mangatron crying? :heh: )

That, my friends, is the power of a true anime viewer. You don't just sympathize, you don't just "aww, poor thing", you don't just "Man, I want to hug her right now", no you don't even say "Dmn that Aoba, silly bastard made her cry that bloody bloke..." :heh:, you need to reach out and understand the character, feel what the character is feeling so that you too can understand the feelings and the story that will ensue. This is why I enjoy anime so much, because to me, it is just much more than entertainment :) (I can probably thank my sad, odd childhood for this)

You know what, why don't I help everyone. I will give you one large azs screenshot of the scene in question. Now, everyone save it, open it in a image program that can enable fullscreen (irfan works nice here), and once it's fullscreened put your hand on her hand, and look into her eyes for several seconds, you can close your eyes if it gets kinda awkward, but think, that's the most important part. Think, think about what she is feeling right now, if you were in her shoes.....[i]wouldn't you just like it if the person you were thinking of, be on the other side of your hand touching you?[/i]
[URL="http://h1.ripway.com/mangatron/handsup.jpg"]Save this image, and feel the feeling of Mina-chan[/URL]
Think about it.[/spoiler]

So yeah, the Sakurai x Sayuri thing will go right on my blog, devoiding this forum of my shame and power :heh: Visit my blog for more fire for the Sakurai x Sayuri bonfire, episode titles for eps 20-22, and more about me lol.

Aw come on, don't you just love it? Konami keeps slapping you in the face with these Sakurai x Sayuri scenes that it makes me.....*bloorgh*

/me vomits :heh:

And shame on you [b]monir[/b], you failed to mention the Sakurai x Sayuri-chan moment in this episode, especially when it was the most powerful sign yet!:heh:

A new year, and 23 days later....

...a new post. Wow. So much for my resolution for keeping my blog a real part of my life. So, to start the year, I'll chronicle a few things that led up to this post.

Pardon the late update, as the posting date was when I created this post lol....

• Sad as it may sound, I had a recurring sickness similar to one I had several months ago last year, something that changed my eating habits and may have prompted a drinking problem I still face as of this day. Well, I couldn't eat, so naturally, I drank lol...but not the kind of drink you may be thinking about.
• Also, next month will also mark the 1 year anniversary of my time here in Germany/Europe. Granted, I was born and raised here, but it was several years ago that I left the old Germany, the Deustche Mark Germany, the Germany that I loved. Upon hearing of this EU I kinda hated this country, but who am I to say, I guess I am just....too troubled by the past that I had, a very sad and frustrating past that I've tried so hard to forget. And, it kinda works as I now have very little memory of the memories I sought to forget.
• Sad things aside, I am looking forward to make this year a year where I will try to change the future that is laid out before me, the future that the past has made, and the future that I will be most happy with. The first thing I will try to do is establish the anime humor that has made me likable throughout the internet, and next I wish to use my voice impersonating skills for something I've been planning for months, even before I took up fansubbing. Something hopefully I will carry out and be established with my portfolio should I attempt the career change I had in mind for quite some time now.

And, with that said, those are just the tip of the iceberg for what I have planned for 2007. Naturally, I aim to make anime the same part of my life it has always been throughout the years of my life. So, to finalize my word on this post, I'd like to start the blog upgrades with some things I managed to accomplish in art/anime or manga related contests I've entered and fortunately have won something of worth.

1. February 2003 Local Library Art competition regarding a cover for a Teen Brochure (Runner up)
2. 2003-2004 Won a couple of Megaman Battle Network merchandise and Astroboy merchandise through local events.
3. Christmas 2005 Garage kit Japan's Christmas lottery (First place prize) Which was a Fate Stay Night model kit. You can see it below:
   
4. Hobbyfanatics 2005 Winter Contest in which my entry was a special one, albeit it an odd one when it comes to sculpt. An alledged Thai cast of the 1/6th scale Takako Kinoshita Pia Carrot Dim Sum model kit. It is large, heavy and I entered for two reasons: 1, I am a heavy Pia Carrot fan, 2 I wanted to make my first professional looking model kit a Pia Carrot one, and a Takako Kinoshita one at that. A image for oggling purposes. (Random winner)
5. With 2006 as the year of my "exile" in Germany lol, I was pretty out of touch with contests back at home. But that didn't stop me from racking up my latest achievement, albeit probably a small one but a big one for me. Manga Academy's "WTF happened to Manga Academy" contest, where we do a 4-koma, or 4-panel comic in a vertical manner. Having oddly failed at Animenation's similar contest a few years ago, it was a nice win for me, albeit a kinda unbalanced one...(First place winner)
   

And so, I expect to add more updates in the days to come. One other reason is I'm waiting for my dad to bring my imported Nintendo DS lite from home, as both my parents went back to the US and decided to let me have Germany all to myself.....well, with my two older brothers to watch me and make sure I don't drink myelf to oblivion lol. So until I re-acquire my other DS lite, I'll hold off on that other post I wanted to make concerning "what kind of a traveler I am".

Chocotto Sister 24, can we have a sequel, Chocotto-nee? lol

Which, of course, would feature a grown up Choco all non-loli and all that....lol.... but, ahem anyways, enough about my doujin fantasies (And I'm not thinking of a H doujin lol), Chocosis episode 24, which is the last, and which I will warn as I have at Animesuki, well, more like I advise that you watch this episode on the 25th of this month, as enjoyment is more, energetic on that day than like what I have resorted myself to...lol...

So, as I hate spoiling even myself, I'll scene things with their respective pictures, a kind of summarizing that I have done before. Which, ultimately in the end I spoil...lol..

We start with... uhm, I had only 4 hours sleep in the last 41 hours, so if I sound off you have been previously notified.

Oh look, she's handing out greeting cards. No greeting needed here though lol..

So this being the last episode, let's toss story aside as what I believe the whole story of Chocosis is basically this, what you see and have seen the last 23 eps. So let's just see everyone for one last time before we return to reading the manga >.>

And, yeah, sorry, above image is Choco inviting the two to a Christmas party.

Psycho-Kaede? Psycho-Kirino? Forget them, how about Psycho-Yuripon lol

In which Yuripon declined Choco's invitation in favor of a meet her father had planned. In which, with all generic rich people in anime he can't make it, which I'll leave to your imagination why lol...which then we get to see Psycho-Yuripon. I'll admit her change of tone and attitutde was enough to stir up even Maid-chan.

Oh, yeah, so you thought Santa has a cell phone? Even dial-arounds are still, "around"

Yeah, well you may not have guessed that was Santa-chan without her festive garb and all, but I say she's cute. Nonetheless. Oh by the way, she is a suboordinate lol.

The gift that keeps on giving, so to speak lol.

Which Chitose-chan, or manager-san, or whatever ecchi label you want to slap on her lol, helps Choco make muffins, which to no surprise Chitose-chan becomes the first target targeted for "gifting" lol.

Choco wins the 2006 award for "Biggest smile that has alot of heart in it"

Isn't she cute? I mean, I died more than 4x24 times already because of her lol.

Yeah, this scene Makoto-chan wins runner up to said award lol...

Which, she should win the 2006 award for "Girl who exposes pantsu outside of her room". And yes, she is the next victim targeted for "gifting" lol.

Orange cell phone? That or the new flavor for Razor-niichan XD

Why did I bother with this scene? Well, I admit for the first time, after seeing alot of cell phones in anime, this scene really stuck out in my mind with the way Makoto-chan handled her phone lol, I mean, that fast button movement. Sure, this is anime and all, but you'd be surprised how many people can do that in this world lol

Aww, those eyes are just too cute. She has the power to literally "melt" you lol

Where Salaryman-san is gifting's next victim. Which, like the previous two giftee's, he gives Choco-chan a scarf. Now, it may not bother you, but it bothered me. For one thing, how can you not notice how Choco-chan receive's necessary clothing from people other than her niichan? lol...

Grocer-san is the next giftee. He didn't say anything...ingrate :P

Hey, Grocer-ojisan and Grocer-obachan are the next giftee's. Hey wait, there's 2 of them...

In her own words, "Bra-chan san" get's one too.

Why, in my weird brain, do we not see Bra-oneechan? Does she need Caution Tape if she is shown? lawl...

Kids these days, thinking ecchi at such a young age. See what anime can do to you? XD

Eye-catch time. Yes, even I need a break too :P

Sigh, I know how you feel Yuripon.... Sleeping girl = the win! LOL

Oh look, see Yuripon? Choco-chan remembers you. She always remembers....

Yes, I know I said she always remembers....

But this scene touched me in more ways than even you can understand. For one thing, my past is something I've tried desperately to forget, and don't you just love anime that makes you remember it? I know, this is why I love anime. It may sound odd, but when anime reminds me of my past memories, I feel at ease. I do, I really do...

In case I didn't make it clear she is visiting Slash-kun's former home XD

I love these 3 girls. Megane-chan, short hair-chan, and....

This girl needs no introduction.

But if you still need an introduction, you are one sad earthling lol. Yes, that's Santa-chan. And no, she's not your's. She's mine :P Funny when she remembered Choco-chan, but of course Choco-chan was oblivious to the notation.

Oh yes, next giftee lol. Touching scene as the Giver received a gift from the Gift, where a reversal of roles takes effect. In short, the Gift becomes a Giver. See, easy to understand, ja? XD

Oh my gosh, Choco-chan grew up! Now if only she wasn't covering her bust area LOL

Sorry if I tricked you, but they are standing on a incline. lol....

Aww, Yuripon is feeling alone, sad and dejected. Takes one Kakeru-kun to get her going.

eh, what would makes the eyes like so? Only one answer: Oniichan! XDDD lol

Naw, psyche. It's Nyan-chan. And she brought her Bose KaboomBox to get some hips shakin'

Seig Heil! :P

Well, you were going to see them sooner or later. No, the old one does not have a "cast" stuck on the backpack.

I sweer, yes that was purposely misspelled, but I say I sweer this is the closest of skin you can get to without Caution Tape. Hint: left-most girl :P

Seems Oppai-chan is in the bath. What, she lives there? My gott I say she does lol

Yes, you were going to see Cafe-san in the end. Seems he found his soul mate >.>

A gift for Maid-chan. no, not the Cycle XD

And I sweer, this is the last shot you'll ever get of her happinesu. Too bad her eye's have been the victim of camera-size XD

Slash-kun apparently got his Gift. Freaky-deeky....

Yes, we were going to see the former manager-san too. Nice scene this was.

I do not need to tell you what this parody's....

Cute shirt. Doesn't that Skull of Heart make you laugh? It sure made me laugh XD

And in case you didn't get the memo, this scene parodied Terminator, complete with music and all. Nice touch to a great end.

Terminator ain't Terminator without a cycle lol. Which, this one flies >.>

And, last but not least, Merry Christmas and I hope you all enjoyed this series as much as I did. Well, rephrase. No one can match me, I love this series so much I joined *bleep* just so I can *bleep* and *bleep* with this series.

Comments welcomed.

More Tokimeki Memorial ~only love~ info? What is this?

lol... I excel at anime humor, not typing-long-anime-summaries lol. But, word got out that 2 new episode titles have been discovered:

ep 14: Heart Throbbing Transfer Student (Enter the love square lol)
ep 15: Heart Throbbing Reality

Now this is getting interesting.

And, as I stated before here at Animesuki's forums, more research findings I have discovered while attempting a translation of the Tokimeki Online website.

Note: these are not babelfished, or whatever other online translator there is out there online. These are my own translations so remember that it is my sweat and messed up keyboard keys that are written all over these, should you try to rob me of my spent time. So don't forget to link back to me should you post this somewhere (which I do encourage lol).

-In the {translated} words of the Konami Online division President, Kazuya Takahashi, Tokimeki Online is a "MMO system that has no time wasting experience points, where player interaction is the main RPG element present. It is presented as challenging because of a new way of doing things, although it is a new attempt at this sort of thing (game?)".
-He also says that "current players of Tokimeki and new players in the future are [what we had in mind] with the Nipponia ONLINE company, and I think both types of players can enjoy 'Connected friendship, creating love relationships, and extending [ones] school life' (last part, meaning something like "if you want to stay in school" lol)".
-The Producer of the game, who goes by the name of [MetalYuki? lol], says the school in the game was based on the above catchphrase that the Online President said. It seems this game was made with friendship first, education second, and the overall experience of the previous two as the distant third. He also wants the players to "Enjoy life that is different from the real world in Tokimeki Memorial Online".
-By the way, did you know, according to my translation, that Konami was the first to make this sort of game? (MMO School life/community type of game).
-In the game you can enjoy school life all over again (or continue if you're still in school lol), from club activities to becoming the top of your class to finding love and makin' love lol.
-Of course, the game has a "create your own player" interface, as the name implies, you can create you own player, and as they say "With a combination of boy parts and....." girl parts? Oh my....
-Apparently, the game has player interaction, as in walking up to someone and talking to them. Now, I wonder how many marriages resulted from this game lol....

As for some interesting character notes that may apply to the anime as well, to some degree non spoilering.

-According to the game info of Sayuri Amamiya, she is the girl who "The school admires, but she is the Madonna that isn't" lol. Meaning there is some freak, scary side to her lol....
-Her bust size is....a A cup? Oh no I did not want to know that lol....(which is apparently her blood type. Ha, tricked you you oppai-cons lol)
-Height 162cm. Which should be 5 foot tall 3 inches. Wow, I'm taller than her? It kinda scares me and makes me happy at the same time knowing that I can hug her, kiss her, grope her-.....nvm XD
-So says, she has the ability to "make your heart stop", so to speak lol.
-According to the game Sakurai is "the character that you meet first". Apparently, a plot to cripple the student body was exposed, leading to enable Sakurai to activate his plot to bring in female members into the Staff (Student Council).
-Word has it Sakurai did that for a certain girl....
-Apparently from what I was able to gather, Sakurai's feelings were hurt by a distinctive girl's "way of thinking"....further fueling my allegation that Sakurai plays an all more important role in the anime series.
-Although that is what I was able to muster up. Which what I mean is it might not be true, so keep your fingers crossed and remember these words by me...
-According to the summary for Tsukasa Kasuga-chan, she is the kind of girl that is "moved[pumped up] by studying". She is also an energetic girl who falls in love by "having a desire to be in love", or in layman terms she only falls in love when she desires it the most, as the anime has shown us she fell in love with Aoba by wanting "that fateful encounter" of the third kind. Sorry, couldn't help but add that "third kind" part lol.
-She is much smaller than Sayuri-chan, and she also was born on, as the americans know it, "Black Friday" lol (year depending)
-She is attached to the volleyball club. Yeah, ok....
-According to the character creator, lol Tsukasa is "the woman who rules the sunlight during Spring" XD
-I have no idea what the creator means by his Haruhi references lol. I hope to god he does not mean the Suzumiya Haruhi series.
-Now, I have no idea why this was put in Tsukasa-chan's section, but apparently Sakurai and Amamiya (or a girl named Temmiya, possibly episode 14's transfer student?) have "had a fateful" encounter before while doing a.....you guessed it, drama. Apparently they were working on something for the drama club and, pure speculation follows lol.
-According to the character creator, Tsukasa-chan's storyline was made into [one of] the love candidates, because it was popular amongst the staff.
-Just as well, Tsukasa-chan was molded after the Tokimeki: Forever with You heroine, only this time they switch hair colors with TMOL's heroine: you guessed it, Mina-chan! Psyche, I meant Sayuri-chan lolz. Thus ending all hope I had for a Tsukasa-chan ending for the anime.
-If I read it correctly, and I say again read, Amamiya usually stands at the center, or in this case is usually in the middle among all the class, and, a legend might have foretold, a popular child will stand in the middle [with her]. Now how, according to them, is this painful? lol....
-As for Mina-chan, she is a de-confident girl, and a generic one at that. Now don't attack me Mina-chan fans lol....
-She was born the day I almost (or should have) died this year. (No she wasn't born this year, I was referring to my situation >.>)
-And she is way smaller than the other girls. Did I have to tell you that?
-She likes anything dolphin, and she is attached to the swimming club. So says the chara creator, she has a "certain dramatic event" (in her life? Oh that's just wrong lol...)
-Natsuiro no Sunadokei anyone? (crippled swimming girl T-T)
-Apparently Mina-chan was modeled after the kind of girl who "defends what she wants to become", or in this case she likes swimming, she's gonna go swimming lol.
-Apparently the chara creator likes Mina-chan lol....
-Interesting bits we have here about Inukai-kun. Apparently he is the type of person who dislikes anything likable, and he usually "works alone" lol.
-And surprisingly, he is clumsy when compared to others.
-One, tall M*beepbeep*F*beeper. lol.
-And yes, he has no "favorite things" and not attached to any clubs lol.
-According to the chara creator, Inukai-kun is "the direct opposite of Sakurai".
-Apparently Inukai-kun plays a role in the Nintendo DS game Tokimeki Girls Side2. Coming next spring lol.
-The chara creator wanted two sides to Inukai-kun, with apparently, his left side of his hair was meant to resemble Sakurai lol.
-Accordinly, he was designed in a way with a gentle looking face, and apparently with a expression that is hard for him to express his true feelings. So maybe he does like Sayuri-chan lol...
-I will add more character info as I see fit, seeing as how right now I have seemingly typed my keyboard to death lol.

Hope you enjoy, and comments welcomed.
