Finished Mai Hime/Otome
Both surprisingly good, at first I didnt even want to pick these up mostly because on my first glance, this felt like an anime was trying to survive on it's massive arsenal of chixorz.

It turns out that both hime and otome's got some pretty solid plot and paces well enough to keep things interesting. Though both recommended I liked hime slightly better than it's "sequal" (the uniform and protagonist being the main reasons). I have to say though, most of my favorite scenes are in otome, which is every scene that involves the transformation clip where natsuki/shizuru whip their hair back and yell "MATERIALISE!".

Anyway, I'm a little too tired to do anything atm but I'm thinking of actually working on the site tomorrow or the day after that

I suck at WoW
For the 3 people out there who dont know, WoW = World of Warcraft, an MMORPG that's dominated the global MMO business since Nov 2004.

Anway... After more than a month away from the game, i picked it up again and for once, i realize that it really is possible to "rust" in MMO games. Sadly, my poor and unstable internet only allow me brief playing sessions.

Day 2: MONSTER marathons
Monster's an anime that I've been watching on and off. Since I'm not very into episodic animes, there's a few episodes that put me to sleep and I end up forgetting about this series. I quickly realize that the greatest thrill about Monster is when all the stories connect and points Tenma toward the next possible location for one of Johann's devious schemes.

I cant help but to sense the similarities between Monster and all the MS-DOS and early Windows PC adventure titles back in the 90s. It's as if the whole story is brought together under the same formula. Protagonist enters area, meets people, pick up things, solve puzzles, finds out where to go next, and then the next zone pops up on the game's world map.

Aside from watching Monster, I picked up a few wallpapers but I'm not too sure whether or not It'll go in well with this website. I might just use something as a filler until I scan something I draw in place of it. I've always wanted to have my own little site completely drawn by my own hands no matter how horrible it'd be.

Site Launch!
As of May 15 2006 I'm actually going to start writing here, having a whole junk load of free time, i dont think it'll be so difficult. Things I'm probably going to do on this site in the next month will probably include some Anime Blog-ish posts, maybe a few photos of some kind with my roommate's cellphone, If i ever make enough money for a scanner (still have to save money) I might start scanning sketches so I can keep track of my progress.

For people that's up to date on anime, I am in fact watching this season's anime. I'm also constantly watching older animes as well.

Brief explanation to what I'm watching...

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu: If you dont know who she is, then you probably dont watch any of this season's anime. Pretty interesting Comedy series that I'm eagerly waiting for every sunday. Kyoto Animation's doing a good job recently.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Not as popular as Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu but I find this one very interesting. This is a horror (and harem?) anime based on a game I never played so the story's pretty fresh to me. What I find very unique about this one is how fast and easily it can switch the romantic comedy harem-ish mood to horror. I'll probably stick with this one till the end

Utawarerumono: an adventure/fantasy I started watching several weeks ago. Not much too unique about this one though I find it to be very entertaining, though it may just be the fact that I'm a sucker for this type of anime style. I've been told that it's based on an H-game which sometimes turn many viewers away which is too bad cause there's quite a few good animes out there based on H-games.

XXXholic: This is a CLAMP anime that those who watch tsubasa will be familiar with. xxxholic is mostly about japanese mythology, urban legends, and the supernaturals. So far up to episode 6, it felt somewhat episodic which is something i personally dont like in anime. I think it's adapting pretty well to the manga but there are those who disagree. (Note: I really wanna see Suzumiya Haruhi meet Ichihara Yuuko)

School Rumble 2nd Term: I've been a huge fan of school rumble which is one of the best highschool comedies ever IMO. There's been plenty of laughs so far in this season which is no surprise. Everything from the whole "battle of Yagami High" to the recent festival events is pretty well done.

Bleach: Standard shonen fighting anime. the recent episodes are starting to remind me of the fall of naruto where it's starting to show signs that they're running outta ideas.

Fate Stay Night: A pretty good action anime with interesting characters. I was a bit upset about episode 14 (dont wanna spoil it anymore if i havent already) and actually stopped watching for a while. I recently picked this back up.

That's about all I'm watching that's still currently airing. It's not unusual for me to watch anime non-stop for 7-8 hours or more though, I do pick up a lotta things here and there. I'm currently cleaning up on Monster and Mai Otome. I might write some things about them when I"m done.
