Zombie Loan 13- while I was very happy to have two extra episodes after the 'ending', the original end at ep 11 was alot better/more final. I mean, it was open ended, but at least it finished the arc it was in. This end was a total cliff hanger! It was one of those anime like Spiral, where you need to buy the manga if you ever want to know the big secrets. Bleh. Ofcourse, I'm buying the manga anyway, but they should've at least wrapped up that whole A-Loan thing or not introduced it at all. Oh, I was feeling green haired kid/Michiru for a bit there :3 ...No, no! I like Shito/Michiru! >< Also, Werewolf boy/Chairwoman=OTP

Currently reading the Zaregoto novel. Unlike all other Japanese novels I've read, it doesn't feel like a 'light' novel at all (so far, I've only read .hack//AI Buster 1&2, Kino's Journey, Clamp Paranormal Investigators, Death Note (by the same author as Zaregoto, actually), and Hot Gimmick S. They all felt rather...flimsy in the writing). To me, it reads like a real, full-blown novel. Interestingly enough, I'm not in it for the story or characters. Those are actually pretty bland. No, I actually like the writing, which is rare for me. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it just feels right to read. Like, it clicks in my brain. I think the only other author who really does that for me is MT Anderson.

I wish Monochrome Factor subs weren't so insanely slow T_T I think since I've been able to watch anime online, the only series I've followed that were subbed fast were Junjou and Antique Bakery... i guess everything I else I pick is not quite mainstream/popular ^^;;;
Edit: Ah, I'm so stupid, I've should've checked before complaining. Ep 13 came out yesterday! No one said anything on the comm, though :/

Gurren Lagann was finally back on Sci-Fi last night. I really expected to hate Nia, since she looked so moe-moe, but I found my self enjoying her character. Her voice fits super well. Like, when I saw her picture online, that's exactly how I imagined her to sound, ya know? That show does have good characters ^^ So far, I like Simon, Rossiu and Viral all equally. Usually, I'll only have one fav and ignore all other characters ^^;;;

I'm finnaly getting good dowload rates on that Heart no Kuni torrent! 150kb/second! W00t!

WHY DON'T PEOPLE UPDATE THEIR LJS DURING THE DAY ON THE WEEKEND!?
GRR.

I'm having one of my days where I don't ant to watch anime or play games ): i want to make my Yami no Matsuei AMV, but i can't find raws. I guess I could rip my DVDs, but my main comp is 8 years old (aka: not equiped for DVDs. It's a wonder I do what I do with it). Maybe I could do it on my laptop or Dad's comp, but then I don't know how I'd get around 1000MB from that comp to this one T_T Boo. (not to mention my laptop is still kinda dead and I feel bad trashing Dad's comp with anime)

I got Zombie Loan 3 and Artemis Fowl 6 yesterday :D I thought I might be done with AF, but this one sounded so good, I had to get it anyway.
ZL 3 is sad T_T Even though I knew about Shiba from the anime, it's still sad T_T The whole thing was more moving in the anime, though, because of the music and motion and everything. I want the anime lisenced so I can buy that too. I'm so into ZL right now. It's even my desktop wallpaper :3 I'm totally in love with Shito right now ♥ I wasn't so much before, but making the AMV, I fell in love along the way :p (you gotta love a guy who keeps stopping on the way to rescue his friends to pull up his socks XD *loves dorks*)

Final version of my first AMV!
Could it have been better? Yes, ofcourse. But I'm pretty satisfied with it and am ready to move on to the next one ^^ I'll learn as I go along.
Yuuta's outfit in that one part looks familiar, doesn't it? ~_^

Zombie Loan AMV- Ludo- Love Me Dead-



The timing got really messed up... Yuuta was supposed the be the 'faith healer' ><;;; It all went down hill from there. But now that I can see the errors, I plan to take a few days break and then fix it. Look forward to the revised version ^^
I'm worried that I focused to much on Shito ^^;; I just love him.
Oh, um, ignore the 5 minutes of black at the end >< I don't know where it came from. I'll cut that off when I fix it.

My next AMV will be about Yami no Matsuei. I'm re-watching it in preparation. I love that show. I forgot how nice it is to go back to an old favorite.
I just hope I can find raws for it somewhere...

Meeting 2 of the Gundam W VAs made me have to watch Sarah's boxset in English now ^^;

Since one of my rats is dying, I got a new one from the pound yesterday. He's super cute X3 And little and fluffy X3 His name is Remi ^^;;
It's kind of silly to get a rat from the pound, though because you have to do all sorts of paper work, when I could just walk into Petco and get one no-questions-asked :/ But, he's home here and cuuuuuuuuuuuuute ^_^

Read Two Flowers for the Dragon. I was disappointed. I don't really like it. Love triangles stress me out (I like manga that are relaxing to read ^^;). It doesn't have anything Gertrude had, but the cute art. And Kuwan is cool with his eye-patch :) But that's about it....
I like Kuwan/Shakuya, btw

Palette of 12 Secret Colors, on the other hand, is nearly as good as Gertrude so far. It's cute and fun and I like the characters. I like the doctor/Cello ^^ I think romance is one of the things Kusakawa does best. Shame she didn't carry that over to Flowers too :/

Cosplaying Zombie Loan ofcourse made me think about it again. I wish there was someone to pair Yuuta with ): I love him alot, so I want him to be happy, ya know? But I guess he's happy enough just browsing weird websites all day :p
My favorite pairing is Shito/Michiru, but ZL is odd for a normal series in that it's easier to get BL and GL pairings out of than het. I mean, Chika/Shito and Yomi/Michiru are so much more obvious than any het pairing (I don't like them, though). Then there's also Shiba/Chika (which I do like :3) and Toho/Shito (which I don't like because it's not 'love', but rather 'I love cutting you up ♥' :p), which are really obvious too. Oh, I just have to be weird and pick a het pairing in such a series lol

Seeing Persona cosplayers made me get back into the game again. Only 11 (in game) days until the final boss!

I got the 4th Generator Gawl DVD used from FYE today! $5.99 whoo! It says it's the last one (Surprising! I thought it was like 7 DVDs), so now all I need is 3 and I have the whole thing. Should I just watch 4 or be patient until I get 3? Hmm. I'm actually really good at waiting about things like that. ^^

I miss Anime Next ): More specifically, I miss having fun.

...but I forgot it instantly.

( Anime Next 08 )

i'm working on my con report from yesterday, but until then, here's my cosplay post on the Zombie Loan comm as a preview:

^_^

I had a dream last night that I was reading Beyond the Beyond (I was kind of reading it and in it at the same time. My dreams are always uncomfortably unclear. Or actually, it was more like a movie. It wasn't a manga were everything is b/w and stationary) and (white) Virid died T_T I was so sad and crying (in the dream). I kept thinking how I wanted Virid to go back to Futaba's world with him and now couldn't T_T (black) Virid was crying too, but he didn't want anyone else to see.
I never have dreams about manga I like and when I do it has to be sad -_- (well, actually I had a dream about a Legal Drug anime once :3 It looked so spiffy animated)
I really hope neither Virid dies in the series, though or I really will cry ):

Making progress on Yuuta cosplay! 50% done with the tie (Dad donated one to the cause, so I don't have to make one from scratch, just decorate it) and need to make the hat, then I'm done!
I was thinking about Yuuta yesterday, and I really hope they give a back story in the manga. I'm worried, since he's a minor character, that they'll forget about him. I'm just dying to know how such an adorable little boy became a zombie! My guess is that he's been a zombie for a long time now and that's how he's had so much time to turn out so...weird (He loves browsing underground murder websites ^^;)

Note to self: Ask Jess if she has black face paint, so I can have a 'Ring of Death'
