Going to sound really...bad

I have discovered the world of Otome games. Picture related it's my husbando. Haha, but Yes. I played my first otome game, being Tokimeki Memorial: Girl's Side. I had seen it on /jp/ when the translation has first come out and decided I might as well get it, which was about 4 months ago.

I can say for sure now, I can understand why people are attached to 2D characters seriously. It sounds silly, but after playing it I felt really empty. I committed so much time into this game and played it for long periods of time just to remember that this wasn't actually reality. It was probably the worst feeling I had experienced in a while.

I poured out all my effort into his route and giggled whenever he would act shy around me and tell me to stop running into him. I was....really distraught afterward. The fact that I thought I actually had a glasses wearing teacher (with an amazing voice) who was in love with me. I was shocked that I could feel this way after playing it for who knows how many hours straight just to get his route done. I ended up getting all 3 routes that day shortly after which made me even more depressed.

It's a funny reason, I know. Reading something like this a couple months ago would have had no effect on me. Have I gone to the point of no return? I ended up skipping the school the next day after not being able to get a really big project done. I just had no motivation to do it. I know he were actually here, he would be disappointed in me, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm still kind of ....messed up? This just happened. I'm not sure what to think.

So I decided to play more otome games, I can't say this made me feel better though. Went with Starry ☆ Sky ~in Spring~. I think I'm going to go down Daisuke Ono's route. They all love MC already though. I find it....odd. I don't have to win their love or anything really and they compliment the MC like crazy. I'm not sure what to think anymore.

RUURUUUU

Best AMV I've seen in a while! If you watch P&S this will probably be more interesting to you. Scanty & Kneesocks paired up with team rocket works far too well.I've probably watched this at least 7 times yesterday.

Progress!

Apparently today is Yui Hirasawa's birthday! I remember I had gotten my tablet a year ago and oh boy my drawings were super bad. I drew a picture for her birthday last year so I continued this year and drew a picture of her again. I must say I was impressed. At least I know I actually progressed some in sketching and doodling.

Lately I've only had dreams of school, which I find funny because I absolutely can't stand school. It's probably the worst part of my week, or day.
I'm a heavy sleeper so I didn't wake up until about 1pm today. It is break after all. I've seen some others blogs on sleep deprivation, but I don't think I could ever do that. I don't really care for coffee and soda so I'm not sure how I would stay up. I've never even gone a whole day without sleep! If I get about 3-4 hours of sleep one day I usually crash early to where I make up for it or wait until the weekend and sleep all day. Today I had a dream that I found my biology concepts paper that I was supposed to keep all year. (I lost it because I'm a derp.) Woke up thinking about homework and school. I don't think a day of break has gone by where I haven't thought about homework and school while doing nothing about it. I hardly started on my extra credit assignment because I'm just so lazy.

Please don't say you are lazy!

 

I have until tuesday though so I guess I shouldn't be worried. I should finish it to get it out of the way, but I know I won't do that. Anyway, here's the progress I made from last year compared to this year.

Last year.

This year! Both are sketches, but I do feel my drawing skills have improved greatly. I mean, Look! My head is normal sized! Happy Birthday Reta- Yui!

Happy thanksgiving post #95475834

Happy thanksgiving everyone! (If you celebrate it). I hope everyone eats lots of turkey today! I couldn't be more thankful for the week I have off of school, my friends, and family. Good luck to all you black friday shoppers out there. I want to go black friday shopping someday, as I never have been. ;_; Isn't it sad? It's not even that crowded here in the middle of no where!



Do you guys have any black Friday experiences about getting good deals? I'd love to hear about them.

YAMI OH KIRISAKU OHHH DESIYAA (Umineko fighting game)

I'm going to refrain from typing in caps because that's annoying to read, but holy shit. My body is not ready.



My body is not ready at all. From what I can tell, this special is going to be released at comiket 77 \o/ 29-31st of December. This will be a marvelous Christmas indeed.

Episode 8 should be released then too! Thanks to Witch Hunt for keeping up with translations for this wonderful sound novel.

Game seems to be for PC, so hopefully we'll all get a chance to play it! Oh man, I am the excite. I don't really know what to say. I'm kind of hoping Dlanor is playable because she's my favorite, but if she's not I'll probably go with Beato, Ange, or the Siestas. I also can't wait to see HOW BROKEN this game is. Hopefully it's not too bad. I have faith! I used to be really big on playing touhou 12.3, but I haven't played in a while. The fact that umineko is actually getting for a PC? HNNNNNNG. My body will never be ready.
If you can read moonspeak: http://07th-expansion.net/ogon/Main.htm

Also, Battler's special:

God damn it Battler.

I was going to make a post on anime, but maybe next time. When I saw this I just overly excited and needed to share it.

There is no such thing as a bad heroine, only bad games!

I'm a bit behind in anime, so forgive me for late updates and other things! Watched Kami nomi zo shiru sekai recently. Went though episodes 4 and 5 and I'll probably watch 6 later on today. 

 Will you look at my picture?

Sora is pretty cute. I liked how MC (his name escapes me) played through all those times for her ;_; Kind of odd, but really cute. I swear I almost memorized the Japanese phrases she kept asking by the end of the episode. (She always has udon for lunch.)

Get beat in school all day? Whatever, I'm playing my PFP and still getting answers right. (How does that even work?! I wish I was as smart as him.)

Episode 5 is great as well. HNNNG KANON. I liked her as soon as the episode began because I am one of those people that enjoy idols and dancing awkwardly with glowsticks. (I love otagei.)

Gundam in my the world only god knows? It''s more likely than you think.

CUTE WITH GLASSES AS WELL.

I've actually met people who have these kind of jacket things for Idols. I've only seen pink ones, but they weren't for Kanon. Otagei is seriously fun though. (Even though it looks super lame) You really don't think about that when you're actually doing it.

 Hey!

Whole episode focuses around here and she wants to get MC to notice her. MC finds this a bit unbelievable because she's an idol focusing on him even though she has a lot of fans already.

Kanon!

I just thought she was really cute here~

 

BASEBALL IS MOE MOE TOO.

THEM THEM HAND SIGNAL SIGNS. I love Idols. They're pretty cute! Kind of getting into Momusu lately? I know a lot more than I did previously about them. Reina has always been my favorite. Also, WHY DOES COUNTRY MUSUME EXIST? Well, at least they don't anymore. That's it for today!

Panty & Stocking 5

Hey guys! Been keeping up with Panty & stocking lately. Been falling behind on Ikamusume and TWOGK. ;_; Even though I love them as well, but I get pestered every single friday to GET PANTY AND STOCKING to watch it with a group of my buddies and make stupid commentary on it. We see some actual PLOT in this episode, and if you think otherwise, well you must be new here.

Two new characters this episode! They're introduced after Panty and stocking go back to school and realize things have changes. Meet the devils Scanty and Kneesocks. They should be coming back later on in the series I expect. ALSO, ROLLING R'S

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwZSzlk4JHA

What?

PEWPEWPEW BATHROOM FIGHTAN. UNLIMITED URINAL WORKS.

Have some panty and stocking cosplay as well. Waiting for an American panty cosplay to show up, I imagine it won't take long. I always enjoy this show. It really is stupid, but in the end the animation is great and it's just...funny.

Hooray!

Did any of you ever get the free mousepads from artscow a while ago? I love this one of my waifu, but I'm too afraid to use it. So I just use the SHAMEIMARU and Beatrice mousepads I already had. Been kind of busy lately, but that should end soon and I'll get to blogging and following everyone again! It'll be great.

IN OTHER NEWS, GIANTS WON GAME ONE OF THE WORLD SERIES~ I know, I'm such a fag for liking normalfag sports related stuff, but this is the only thing I really care about. My grandpa raised me to be this way, and my favorite team has been the Giants for as long as I can remember, even though they never really win. I'm really confident that they have a great chance this year against the rangers though. Both teams are pretty good, but Giants are definitely better. I mean, LOOK HOW MOE THEY ARE. Lincecum is my husbando, holy shit he's awesome. （・∀・ ）

Makes it even better that and acquaintance of mine likes the rangers. He was quite...unhappy today. ( ﾟヮﾟ)

Anyway, I'm a faggot, giants are going to win the world series this year, etc. 

JAPAN, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney.

>The first trailer for the brand new crossover for the Nintendo 3DS: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney!



WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFF JAPAAAAAAAAN.  Now I HAVE TO buy the 3DS. GOD DAMN IT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. IT'S AWESOME THOUGH.

Tewhew posters among other things

Isn't mine, but I wish it was. Photo courtesy of /jp/. Been thinking of getting something like this done for a while. It just looks so damn nice and classy. Thinking of maybe doing this online, because I have no idea where i would get a poster printed this big where I live. Also, power levels etc. If not a touhou poster, then maybe the umineko portraits. If I get one of battler, does that make me gay? He's fabulous. My room needs some classing up. I need to paint the walls as well. I can't live with this color much longer. I won't even tell you guys what color my room is. It's just that HAZUKASHII.




I've seen several rooms with these kind of framed pictures on /jp/ and /a/. In my opinion, it looks SO MUCH BETTER than the megami poster cutouts.
Compare:

To

The former just look so much better. If there's one thing "otaku" do wrong, it's usually the fact that they choose quantity over quality.

Panty and stocking Lambdadelta and Bernkastel are OLEV. Haven't made a post about it yet, but you guys like Umineko, yeah? I've been reading since about when the 4th one got translated by witch hunt. One of the best things I've ever read.


Episode 7: Requiem of the Golden Witch

• Translation: 15% Editing: 12%.

http://witch-hunt.com/news.html
Anime was shit, but whatever. Can't expect much out of a VN to anime adaption, just like Tsukihime (in during no tsukihime anime). I don't think any VN has been done right. Except maybe Clannad.

>You will never hold hands with the girl sleeping in the futon next to you ;_;

DOTD 3

What it looks like when i actually try to draw! Started this for a online friends birthday about 5 hours ago, haven't been drawing constantly though. I don't normally have the patience to do this. Still not done, so I'll post the real version sometime later. For some reason I thought it would be super moe to see Suika sleeping outside the front of Reimu's shrine like this~ I'll erase reimu later, maybe redraw her, but i just felt like something was missing in the picture. Yeah, my hands are still pretty bad regardless, but at least it's not at bad as Ryukishi07's higurashi hands.

Edit: Just did this a few minutes ago~

Halloween!

It's getting close to that time again. Although I don't go trick or treating anymore it's a really nostalgic time for me. I mean, who didn't love being a kid and getting free candy? I've been wanting to carve a pumpkin lately.

But I'm too lazy, so I just take it easy. Been thinking of either doing something likes these or maybe a Beato pumpkin. It's not as fun as it used to be though. Getting too old for this kind of thing.

 

I think I'll just spend the day with my vampire waifu.

welcome to /fig/

My favorite.

Life is always better with shoujo

Been reading a manga called love monster recently, distracted me from doing stuff on blogger. IT'S TOO GOOD. Yes, I like shoujo manga. Deal with it.

WHY CAN'T MY HAIR BE THIS FABULOUS?

don't you ever think that when reading shoujo manga? I mean, ALL THE MALES ARE SO FABULOUS. Why can't I get my hair to do that? Seriously, i look in the mirror sometimes and i despair knowing I'll never be as fabulous as men in shoujo manga. No but seriously, I'm not a big manga reader person, especially reading online, but Love monster is great.

Pic related, My face when reading shoujo manga.

Some of my followers blog links aren't showing up, if you are one of those please post in the comment section and I'll be sure to check your blog out if that's the case.

Very stressful day today. Not enough sleep and other things. I don't really feel like making a new meaningful post at the moment, sorry guys. I'll get better! Fighting! Random Sakuya picture because, well. I just found it to be cute.

Mahjong!

So, do any of you play Mahjong? Occasionally I play on Tenhou against others. What's Mahjong? Well, to be honest you could call it Chinese weeaboo dominoes. It is a very popular tile game in Japan though. It's not too hard when you know the rules. Theres a really great guide for rules on the game here:  http://www.mediafire.com/?nundktgdonn
You can also reference the wikipedia page on all the japanese yaku:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Mahjong_yaku

You can practice here against other Japanese people: http://tenhou.net/0/
Don't feel bad if you do terrible at first, it's not like they can say anything bad to you anyway. I actually had a beginner winning streak when I first started and then I was terrible for the longest time.

I actually learned how to play after watching an anime called Saki. If you enjoy cute girls doing cute things and mahjong as well, you'll absolutely love this anime. I didn't know the rules at all when i saw it, but it makes more sense now. An anime definitely worth your time.

I'm not super great, but just tell me if you ever want to play! Only Yakuman I've gotten would be little winds.   Might have been able to go for big winds, but whatever!

This week I'll probably do an in depth tutorial on all the moon runes (japanese) in the game and what they mean!

Vietnamese Sandwiches

So a couple days ago, I found this Vietnamese sandwich shop about ~30 minutes away from my house. Even though it's that far, I found it to be worth it. There were tons of Vietnamese sandwich shops where i used to live, so I was missing the taste. What makes Vietnamese sandwiches different than normal sandwiches, you say?

LOOK AT THAT, IT IS DELICIOUS. Just a sandwich with more vegetables in it, but it's great. (and cheap). Well not as cheap here, if you live in California though, it's common to see these in certain areas along with froyo (frozen yogurt) places and Tapioca drink shops.

It sounds weird if you haven't tried it, but Avocado smoothies are the best things ever. I highly reccomend them, despite how weird it sounds. I never get a positive reaction when i tell someone about avacado smoothies. Ever.

It's delicious though! I'm so deprived here. All the Vietnamese and good Asian food is so far away ;_; I find it funny, everyone I knew back home was Asian, and you go farther into the middle of the US and they all disappear.  During history class instead of Asians they call them "oritentals". I stifled my laughter hard. You don't see any black people here either. I think I've seen about 5 black people and I've been here around 4 months.

Anyway, I'm sorry but if your going to try tapioca drinks, Strawberry is probably the worst choice. I love normal strawberries, don't get me wrong, but strawberry boba is gross.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

http://twowho.blogspot.com/ has convinced me to write a post about:

This. This is a scary game. So scary, I've wanted to play it myself, but I've ended up watching livestreams from /v/ and prerecorded ones on youtube as well as having one of my friends play it for me. (I'm too chicken.) So, I've probably seen the first half of this game a good ~4 times. I've been scared every single time, although I do know when the monster comes out now and what to do, so I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to play it on my own. I've stayed up until almost 3AM on a school night because I was too afraid to sleep and whenever I entered a new room in my house I checked the closets to make sure the monster wasn't in there before i closed the door. Ridiculously unnecessary when you think about it, I know. This is just the greatest survival horror game I've ever seen.

DOTD 2

Well more like "drawings" of the day. I'm such a terrible artist! Not caring at all about anatomy and what i draw ;_; No sketch looking thing takes me more than 20~30 minutes normally.

 

Imoutos, etc.

I CAN RELATE TO THIS IMOUTO! Then again, I can relate to this one too:

So many great Imoutos this season! Let's not forget Mikan from Love-to-ru as well, although I'm not watching it.

Impressions of anime so far:

Yosuga no Sora:

It's kind of cute! The Imouto at least. I felt bad for her 90% of the time I was watching it. She refuses to go to school and stays home alone while her brother goes. and of course, EVERY SINGLE GIRL IN THIS SHOW IS IN LOVE WITH THE BROTHER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. HOLY SHIT BLUSHING EVERYWHERE. TEEHEEE. NO. Automatically in love. It's just the way it has to be. That was probably what made watching this show so dumb. I've seen this before, you just added incest. They left off on a pretty big cliff hanger though, so i'll probably end up watching the next episodes. This series probably let me down the most ALONG WITH

Star driver:

I don't even want to start on this show. HOW MUCH MORE GENERIC MECH CAN YOU GET? YOU CAN'T. IT'S LIKE YOU TOOK THE WORSE ASPECTS OF A GENERIC MECH SHOW AND THREW IT IN ONE. Sorry for the caps. Does anyone remember kurogane no linebarrels? It's exactly like that. I couldn't stand that, and I definitely can't stand this. It really isn't my kind of anime. Also, the screen cap. It looks like I'm watching long necks: the anime.

The world only god knows:

I don't know how much more fabulous you can get. This show REALLY exceeded my expectations. It was funny, the art style was great, the characters were likable. I had only read ~2 chapters of the manga, but after watching this episode, I'm encouraged to just take time out of my schedule (lolwhatschedule) and read the manga. I recommend this, even if you haven't read the manga!

 Dweeb >>> Pretty galactic boy.

Ore Imouto:

CHECK OUT THAT COLLECTION. SHE EVEN HAS SCHOOL, CROSS AND SUMMER DAYS. Probably one of, if not the greatest imouto ever. I'll be keeping up with this show! I read the first chapters of the light novel and manga. Pretty good anime adaption. Can't wait for the rest!


I still plan on watching bakuman and maybe some other things this season and giving them a try.
