Boku no goshujin wa utautai
Hokorashige na kao shite kotoba wo haku
Kudaranai to hito wa iu arifureta uta
Mada bokura ga shiawase datta koro no hanashi~! :D :D :D
Every time I think 'lalala' in my head that song always comes to mind:
I love that song soooo much! It's ADORABLE!
I'm up tooo...*goes and counts* page 22 or my manga. I haven't inked some of them yet, and a big chunk of them I haven't even toned, but I think that's pretty good since I will eventually ink them once I finish drawing them.
Posting about ze progress.
However, productivity, just as any good thing, always has a bad side. My wrist is beginning to hurt a lot...;m;
This is why you don't hear about any mangaka finishing a whole chapter in a day. Not because it's not possible, but eventually your wrist/hand/arm whatever you're using slowly dies...;m;
Poor handie hand! TT^TT
But maybe my wrist will stop hurting and I can get back to work! So happy to finally draw Hisoka-kuun~!
I'll draw promo pics EVENTUALLY!
While I'm here...I might as well talk about the anime I've been watching and give you a brief (try my best to make it brief) review/opinion of it.
Hyouka
HOLY CRAP! The BEST animation I've EVER SEEN! And it doesn't even make sense as to why they'd be giving it such amazing animation...they're not even doing anything...;m; The story itself is rather boring, but the animation is so beautiful I can't help watching it. The story is disappointing because none of the school 'mysteries' are very mysterious, solving them isn't amazing they're all pretty obvious, and the comedy is rather subtle.
Also it looks just like K-On...O.o;
Daily Lives of High School Boys
Omigosh...XD I love this! It's so incredibly hilarious! A lot of the jokes are predictable, and at first I thought it was going to be really stupid, but I couldn't hold in my laughter it was so good! XD
Kids on the Slope
Okay...this is just so incredibly amazing I can't even say much. But I really really wish it was a yaoi...there are so many scenes that make my eyes twinkle, only to remember that this isn't a yaoi...'orz But it's really very sweet.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita (Humanity Has Declined)
If this weren't a comedy I think I would hate it. At first I didn't think it was a comedy, and then the bread started bleeding carrot juice and I couldn't help but love it. The style is like watercolurs, it's really pretty. And they seem like they're trying too hard to be cute, but OMIGOSH! THOSE FAIRIES ARE ADORABLE! TT^TT Even if their mouths are always open.
Tari Tari
I'm on the fence about this one. It's very much like K-On in style and overall feel. I mean, they're trying to make their own choir, just like K-On was trying to make their own band. The two main girls I kept getting confused...I mean, I know looking at this poster they look different, but watching the anime I kept mixing them up. I liked this because I felt it was rather realistic. They showed shyness perfectly. Usually it's where the character is really shy about something and they just look silly, but this shyness was funny, but you could relate...if you know what I mean?
Natsuyuki Rendezvous
This is one of those really good shoujo/josei anime that just get you hooked the moment it starts. Maybe like Nana and Honey and Clover (but I haven't watched either of those...XD But I'm sure they give the same feel).
Joshiraku
I can see this being compared to Lucky Star....sorta...I mean, it has similar elements, but I liked this one. Sorta...also on the fence about this one. I like how it looks all bubbly and the art was rather good. It got me when they started it off by saying that you should go read the manga because it doesn't make any sense for there to be an anime of it since it's mainly dialogue....XD That got me. And I can't help watching comedies! ;m;
Nichijou
While I was on the fence with Joshiraku, I'm totally on the other person's lawn on this one (I-I don't understand the expression 'on the fence' I just assume it's between neighbors). The style is nice and cute, and, as I said I really can't help watching comedies. This is incredibly INCREDIBLY adorable! ;m; I just wanted to hug the screen it was so cute...
It'a also completely random and for once there is a main character with a crush on another character. Usually nobody cares about that, but think something about that makes it more exciting because I think crushes can create the silliest situations.
Tsuritama
It has some common anime instances, but it's SO HILARIOUS, random, and adorable~! X3 I really really really love the style~! *3*
(As you can see I slowly started talking more and more...'orz)
Now about the anime I don't recommend...or more like the anime I didn't like and why I didn't like it (no pictures):
Another: I feel I've expressed my reasons in my 4-koma (check my portfolio, too lazy to post link)
Amagami SS: I keep watching these anime based off of otome games hoping for them to be good, but they never are. I thought this would be good because I read that each episode would be focusing on a different girl's story, I thought that was clever, but then I watched it and realized that, yeah the idea is clever, but the stories are boring and the characters are unrealistic. As always.
Bodacious Space Pirates: Not that this is bad or anything, I just didn't like it that much. I think it was just the art style, maybe. It didn't draw me into it.
Mirai Nikki: It almost got me and then they had the rules of the game and I just gave up. I don't like these stories where you can actually change time and events that are going to happen. I guess it makes sense with this story, but I've always enjoyed the psychological pain that came from realizing that you can't do anything about your future. Those moments are always cool because then you can see how they got to wherever they foresaw. But this anime doesn't have that, so I don't care about it anymore (also certain plot points and designs I thought were lame).
Guilty Crown: (It's almost like I don't like sci-fi or fantasy anime...'orz) It just seemed like typical anime. The animation was really good, but I can't stand this anime with crazy (even if they're cool) character designs that don't fit with the overall feel of the anime at all...Like the main girl seems like she's out of some fantasy hentai game. Another thing that bothered me was that many of the sci-fi elements were similar to other anime like Ghost in the Shell. BE MORE ORIGINAL if you're going to spend all that time and money and hard work on something, go all out.
I also watched Mushishi. But I think you all know how good that is...XD
I want to watch more...magical anime...but all the anime I've liked so far have been comedies or slice-of-life stories...;m; GIVE ME A GOOD FANTASTICAL/SCI-FI-ish anime gaiz.
Like NGE good. Code Geass was pretteh good, it's just...Shirley...and I watched it in English so I don't have very fond memories of it.
Also a lot of people keep saying how great Gankutsuou is and it's even based off of my favourite book, but I can't seem to like it...Maybe because The Count who I love so much isn't as cool...or maybe he seems more like a villain than a pitiful character (I like thinking of him as a pitiful character, this is why I like him~! :D).
One more thing!
Could somebody please tell me why the following anime are so great and if I should watch them:
Clannad (does liking the art style matter or is the story and delivery really really really good?)
Wolf's Rain (do I have to like wolves to like this anime?)
Rahxephon (I've heard it's similar to NGE. Is it really similar to NGE or more like S-cry-ed)
(I'm sure there are more, I just can't remember them...XD)
Adios~! (I think my wrist feels better now~! :D)
