Anime Club Chat Log - Lovely Complex ep5
I just had to save this epic moment in the Anime Club tonight. It contains a spoiler for Lovely Complex, though, so you might not want to read it if you plan on watching the show. Screen shot plus log on the next page. ...I've got a fever...
What I feared yesterday has come to pass. I woke up this morning with a sore throat that somehow manages to feel both dry and like there's gunk from my sinuses running down it at the same time. Joy. I'm not sure if I actually have a fever, but if I do it's at least not a bad one. I've been a slight bit dizzy at times but that could just be the sinus congestion throwing my balance off. My sense of taste is also a bit off.
Anyway, rhythm: I has it. I moved up to medium drums in Rock Band 2 yesterday after playing a few songs on easy and figuring out what the heck I was doing. Lots of five stars so far, with the occasional four creeping in. (WTF is with Tangled up in Blue by Bob Dylan? The actual beats in it are simple to play but there's not a steady pattern anywhere to be found in that song.) Sometimes it takes me a bit to pick up the beat, but once I figure it out I can usually stick to it consistently. Like, 600+ note streak on a song without having played it on drums before, consistently. I figure I'll finish out most of the tour on medium to refine the muscle memory and get better at fill transitions—I still accidentally hit the edges of the drums instead of the pads sometimes lol—then move up to hard. I may just end up enjoying drums more than guitar.
If anyone wants to take a look, I made a profile on rockband.com. Not much there yet but it's got a picture of my character. Yes, I made him look like Link. I was browsing through the various clothes and happened to notice this particular combo. I dunno if I'll keep him that way but for now I find it amusing. It's just too bad that there's no pointy hat to go with the rest of the outfit.
Jester is my brother's character. I have serious doubts about his taste in headgear.
My 21st birthday went well, better than I thought it would. I kind of expected to have to crash at my friend's place for a day or something to avoid my brothers trying to get me drunk. The two oldest returned home to the Bay Area before that, though, so nothing ended up happening. In fact, the whole thing was rather uneventful other than having some friends over Friday night to play RB2. But that's fine by me since I don't like making a huge deal out of my birthday.
Work on Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei ep2 is slow but continuing. I'm currently waiting for more sign translations from Dagger so go poke her if you're impatient. :p
And speaking of anime, the new winter season shows have started. Shin put up another thread on OB for talking about them and I listed the ones I'm interested in. I haven't seen much of them yet but once I do I'll probably post more thoughts in there.
Ha Ha Ha
I'm sure most people have already seen this linked in the chat but I have to post it here anyway:
As soon as I saw that scene in Tales of the Abyss ep7, I knew I had to extract it to mercilessly Jaderoll Gome with. It was just too perfect.
In other news, I went through my ImageShack account just now and tagged all my images. So now you can sort them by anime, video game, specific series, etc. Finding stuff I'd previously uploaded was getting to be a pain, what with the ever-increasing number of images in my account, but this should alleviate the problem.
Last night I also got Adam to fix the bug with sorting World posts by tag. Now, when you click one of those shiny links up in the intro to view only posts with that tag, you'll be able to browse through all the pages of posts instead of having the page nav links reset the tag filter. So yay for that.
Proper categorization makes Index happy.
Purely Platonic
Since Shin and TimeChaser did it, I started wondering who'd I put in a man-harem of my own. So, of course, I put one together. But, unlike Shin, this one had a lot fewer contenders than my other two.
If you can't tell from my picks themselves, the indifferent smartass and flirtatious playboy types amuse me. Zelgadis, Tomoya, and somewhat Leon fall into the first category while Baroqueheat, Shuichi, Takumi, and somewhat Fay fall into the second. Leon is kind of a male tsundere who actually annoyed me the first time I watched Kaleido Star but then grew on me my second time through. (Plus his hair is awesome.) Shannon is more the quiet badass type with a sister complex who practically takes on the world in her defense. And Fay is just all kinds of fun.
By the way, the Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei subs are coming along nicely. I'm about half way done with the typesetting and should finish by next weekend. If all goes well, I'm hoping to release around the 12th.
gg released a sub of it yesterday but it looks like it's missing a lot of typesetting and they instead opted to go with external notes for the rest of the text. Their release is also cropped a little more than my encode, but otherwise they look nearly identical. Not a bad release at all, as expected from gg, but ours will have nearly every little bit of text translated and typeset.
Tsundere <3
It seems that everyone is doing it, so I decided to put together an anime harem of my own. Three of the eight girls below immediately came to mind but it was amusing to browse through my anime list on ANN and pick out five more from the the shows I've seen.
There's two main personality types in here. Akari, Hagumi, Chihiro, and Belldandy are all incredibly sweet, caring, and gentle. On the other hand, Kagami, Kyou, and Mei are all kind of the sarcastic tsundere types. And then there's Horo, who is just all kinds of awesome; she acts so playful and innocent but is actually incredibly intelligent and clever.
Also...
I put together a harem of forbidden lolis because they're just too great. They all have their own little quirks that set them apart and make them oh-so-adorable and funny... Which I don't really feel like going into right now. But if you watch the series they're from you will see. Especially Aria and Kaleido Star.
If you want, you can grab the empty harem template and put together your own.
