Zomgwthbbqwaffles
Ah it's been a while since I said anything here so here I am to say something! X)
RH Concert is coming so I will be intensely busy. (Like I'm already not posting when I'm considered free... so...) And they even got us excused from lessons this week! It's crazy, you know. Hell as if I would miss my lectures and tutorials for this. I mean, they even printed out my name wrongly in the excuse letter! I am severely disappointed. I don't see how does my full name translate to 'Yeo Zhen Nellyn' in any language, dialect or permutations of letters. Like, really.
And I miss my bed. And I only come home once a week for ONE NIGHT.
In other news, I am being persuaded to cut my hair again. And for ODAC dinner, they made me try on this dress. I wonder if Rachel will send pictures. Then again, she owes me chocolates for that. Mua hahaha.
And I still miss my roomie. Come back soon, Fariha~
My midterms were alright but I need to pull up on my French more. Kudos to Siti for letting me khope her French films and other random shows!
And I finally, finally, finally understand how to define a thesis. Well, sorry for being slow then. I thought I knew but I didn't but now I know! Yay!
Also, Japan's come out with a whole load of Autumn season anime in October and I managed to catch those which I was interested in!
... I think I will die this month. I have at around 4 animes that I want to follow up on and some dramas I'm kinda interested in and then some. Argh.
Oh, I've been catching nice Japanese movies with Adeline recently. We've watched Hana Yori Dango Final (I only watched the first season), Kurosagi: The Movie (despite not having watched the drama before - Adeline just started watching to understand the movie) and just today, Smilers!
Smilers was very nicely done, a typical underdog story along with a coach with nil experience in the sport of ice hockey and how they tie in substories into the game itself is good. I actually remember names here, because almost each character in the team had a special story to tell that became sort of tied into the game. Love the Masaya x Rena pairing! I wonder who the kid actor is. He's going to grow up to be someone like Kenichi Matsuyama, all Ice-Princey and cool-looking.
I'm dying for the OST now. They made a very nice change to the Christmas song 'Little Drummer Boy'.
Anime to watch-list includes:
Ga-Rei Zero:
Damn good show. Intense action scenes, potentially interesting storyline - with Categories of ghosts and lots of fighting and shooting and this creepy guy with sky-blue butterflies in his wake and wth all the main characters DIE at the end of the first episode?! Now what? Thumbs-up to the animation as well, very fluid and smooth and the art is not bad too! I like the voices and the plot seems sufficiently deep and exciting enough to keep me hooked. Yay!
Seems to be adapted from the manga, Ga-Rei. But they changed it somewhat. Alot, really.
To Aru Majutsu no Index:
This story is interesting; I like the seiyuus as well and the action and animation is not bad too! Got interesting concepts of Psychics and Mages as well as Science, and it reminds me somewhat of Scrapped Princess, with a Providence Breaker-esque idea. And it's terribly funny. Really. I appear to have misread the synopsis of the series... apparently that electric sorcerer girl LIKES the main lead... Huh. He calls her 'sparky' by the way. In Japanese, it was like 'biru biru' or 'buru buru'. Funny~
Kuroshitsuji:
I LOVE Sebastian's voice and how he practically runs the whole household. It's funny and very cute and a bit creepy as well. Animation is good, not too shabbily done as I feared it would be and Maaya Sakamoto does some nice voicing here as a boy~ Such versatility! It gets alot better as we go along. I simply think that Meiran's voice really suits her!
Skip Beat:
MIYANO MAMORU. 'Nuff said. Okay and Kyouko's voice is very good too. Yay! Not too particularly impressed with the animation because well, I understand that the mangaka's work is hard to animate. This reviewer was right, the art and animation kinda reminds me of Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge which was badly done. But ah well, it seems alot better than that though.
Nyan nyan~
