Hello everyone :)
I think this might be the first time that ive posted 3 days in a row lol. I must say that ive been enjoying posting the past few days. Ive also been trying to put more things in my posts, like more pics, and my thoughts on certain anime shows that ive been watching. Today ive been pretty much taking it easy, so i thought id put up a post with some new stuff :)
Yesterday, shortly after posting, I had the pleasure of chatting with Bulma for a little bit. I was watching the survival show called "Man vs Wild", while i was chatting with her lol. She was pretty busy though, but im really glad we were able to chat, even if it was just for a few minutes ^^ She's always a pleasure to converse with thats for sure :) While she was busy, I ended up laying down and falling asleep again (which is a bad habit of mine lol). I woke up around 10pm last night and had the urge to watch my 2 volumes of the anime series RahXephon. I have volumes 2 and 3, but i only managed to watch the first episode of volume 2 before i fell asleep again LOL.
volume 2
Volume 3
This time i slept until 2am this morning and thats when i woke up for good :) I woke up to the music playing from the RahXephon dvd main menu, which was turned up pretty loud. Im still wondering how i managed to fall asleep with it that loud lol. When i woke up i didnt even get out of bed, I just searched for my remotes under my sheets/blankets and started watching volume 2 again. Ive had volumes 2 and 3 of RahXephon for about 2 or 3 years now and ive never watched them until this morning. To be honest, at around episode 8 I started to get into the groove and start enjoying the show. The animation is done really well and it is really clear, I even found myself liking a couple of the characters. I also noticed while watching the credits to one of the episodes that Tiffany Grant (The person who voiced Misato from Evangelion) does the voices to one of the characters, which was really ironic since i had just recently finished watching Evangelion lol. At the end of volume 2, things started to pick up, so im pretty excited about watching Volume 3, which i'll probably start watching it a little later today before i go to sleep :)
After i finished Volume 2, I started cleaning my room and i started my laundry. I got something to eat (pizza) and then started watching some more anime demo dvds :)
I watched :
Grenadier: episode 1
Desert Punk: Episode 1
FLCL: episode 2
and right now im watching Episode 4 of an anime called Midori Days
Ill be sure to let you all know my opinions on these shows probably in my next post :)
The main reason why i wanted to post today, is because this morning after watching a couple of those episodes and after i had cleaned, I found my microphone in my closet :) When i found it, i knew i had to try something. Remember a few posts ago when i told you guys about the version of "Cruel Angel Thesis" that played during the intermission between the Death and Rebirth sections of Evangelion Death and Rebirth? Well this morning i used my webcam and microphone to record the song in video form :) I just played the movie on my computer, then turned my surround sound volume to my computer way up and hit record. It took me a few tries because random noises kept messing up the recording lol, but i finally finished it and uploaded it to my photobucket account (which took about 2 hours). Its one of my coolest and favorite creations. While the music was recording i just placed Both Evangelion dvd cases on my computer desk and had my webcam focus on them while it was recording. I would have recorded the actual movie part of the intermission, but i would have had to point my webcam at my computer screen and thats basically useless because the camera catches interference and doesnt record cleanly. The music was my main focus though and i really hope everyone that visits will watch the video and let me know what you all think :) it's a beautiful song ^^
Here is the video, i hope it works lol!

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Intermission between "Death" and "Rebirth" sections
I really hope that video works, let me know if there is any problems :)
Well, i think that will be all for today, It's starting to rain here (i hoped it would lol) It has also been alot colder here as well which is the way i like it as well. Im gonna go and lay down and watch some more anime stuff :) I hope you all enjoy the post , epecially the video, and i thank you all for visiting :) I hope to chat with you all soon :)
stay strong,

Hello everyone,
Im glad to be back posting lol. i know its been a few days since i last posted, so ive got alot of stuff to post to make up for lost time lol. Id personally like to thank stararnold for allowing me the Guest Poster status on 2 of his pages, i was surprised when i saw my guest posting list had jumped to 3 so suddenly, and i am looking forward to making progress in that direction soon :)
I guess ill start things off by saying (for wrestling fans) that im glad to see that CM Punk finally won the World Heavyweight Championship on WWE Monday night Raw last week. To be honest, Wrestling as of late had been kinda bleak and i had found myself watching it less and less by the week, especially after the WWE Draft since there would be no world championship on Raw since all 3 of the other World championships were on the other 2 shows. I was glad that CM Punk was drafted to Raw though, because i was excited that id actually get the chance to see him more, sine i dont get the Sci-fi channel where ECW is broadcasted (which is where he wrestled before being drafted to RAW) . Lady Luck shined her fortune on me last monday while i was watching RAW lol. I found myself waking up early and i was bored so i thought id record Raw while i was getting ready for work so i could watch it the next morning when i got home (because nothing good comes on tuesdays) lol. In the first few minutes of the show, Edge managed to make his way to the ring to show off to the crowd, and ended up being assaulted by Batista. While Edge was getting beat up, i went into the kitchen to get something to drink and when i came back into my room, CM Punk was inside the ring cashing in the world title contract he won at Wrestlemania, after putting the already beaten Edge in the GTS (finishing move) We had a new champ, which shocked me and brought a smile to my face. It had been a while since something in wrestling had actually surprised me, so its one of my favorite wrestling moments of all time for sure. Congratulations CM Punk, he's paid his dues and he deserves it.
Now onto the anime lol.
Throughout the week, even though i didnt post much i still managed to watch some more Newtype demo dvds. I also finished watching Roujin Z(finally) lol. Ive made 2 new wallpapers in the past couple days, one of Mr. Popo from Dragonball and a Street Fighter wallpaper that i made this morning. Im planning on making another one today, possibly related to Saint Seiya, so be on the lookout for it :)
well i suppose it is time to tell you all of my opinons of the episodes on the Newtype demo dvds i managed to watch :)
NEWTYPE USA DEMO DVD - NOVEMBER 2005 ISSUE
GHOST STORIES - episode 1
In my opinion, based on this one episode, this show seemed like a mixture of Scooby Doo and Witch Hunter Robin lol. Dont get me wrong, it was quite enjoyable and pretty different than most of the other anime shows ive seen and when i read the name of the show, i figured it would be like a collection of those japanese horror films. Its hard to say which direction the series goes just by watching this one episode, but id like to say that this episode was enjoyable and different at the same time, kinda like pokemon with magic spells lol, it has to be seen to be understood :)
SHADOW SKILL - episode 1
Shadow Skill was pretty cool, alot of action and best of all is that it is animated in the same way that "Legend of Crystania" is, so i warmed up to it quite well. It kinda had a Saint Seiya feel to the show, with the fighting and everything, but it had its own style, so its hard to find something off the top of my head to compare it to. Id really like to see more of the series though because it just started getting good towards the end of the first episode. Ill probably find myself looking this series up online later today lol.
GANKUTSUOU: THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO - episode 1
first off, this was a pretty wierd show. Wierd in a somewhat unexpected good way i suppose lol. Ive read the book and seen the movie versions of the original "Count of monte Christo" and i must say that this anime has similar likenesses to the book, but is certainly its own craft. To be honest, its kinda depressing and intriguing at the same time. I found myself wondering who the good guys and who the bad guys were, everything seems shrouded in mystery, and only being able to see the first episode doesnt really help matters much lol. It was a different and interesting episode and id like to see how thingsturn out thats for sure.
NEWTYPE USA DEMO DVD: NOVEMBER 2003 ISSUE
SAINT SEIYA - episode 1
I really like Saint Seiya lol. I first saw this series a few years ago on cartoon network where it was called Knights of the Zodiac and was edited by the childrens animation company "DIC". That means that the blood was changed to a purple color and the curse words were taken out as well lol. I have the first volume of "Knights of the Zodiac on vhs and it is still enjoyable. However, after watching volume 2 of the actual "Saint Seiya" version, i knew that the original was the only way to go. Not only is it unedited with blood, violence and language, the japanese opening and ending scenes are in my opinion way better, even though i still like the ending of the KOTZ version. watching this series takes me back to the days of Ronin Warriors and Sailor Moon, and i reccomend this series to any old school anime fans out there. :)
PRETEAR - episode 1
This first episode didnt really explain alot. All i gathered from this episode is that there are a group of magicians from another dimension that come to earth to stop demon seeds from destroying the world, and they need the help of a "chosen one" on earth to help them beat it. Kinda like a blend of Inuyasha, Blue Seed, and Cinderella. It wasnt extraordinary, but it wasnt bad either, It had a good blend of comedy though and i managed to like a few parts. I found it to be enjoyable and comedic at times, but not along the lines of something i havent seen before :)
NEWTYPE USA DEMO DVD: MARCH 2003 ISSUE
RahXephon: episode -unknown
This was the first Newtype demo dvd that i ever recieved, it came with the first newtype magazine that i ever bought , and originally the dvds only had one episode on them and a few trailers. this dvd had an episode of RahXephon on it, but i do not know which episode it is because it doesnt say. I found this show to be pretty crazy, it reminded me alot of Evangelion- in all aspects.plot, Music, mecha,characters, dialouge. Id say that so far maybe this series isnt as depressing as Evangelion, but i have only seen this episode so far, so the night is still young lol. This episode has kinda urged me to watch the 2 volumes i have on dvd to try and learn more about it, ive heard alot of good stuff on it, so id hate to state an opinion on it until i watch some more of it :)
Well, I suppose that will be it for today, thats quite a bit of rambling if you ask me lol. Remember - if you have any in depth questions about any thing ive posted on here, feel free to ask anytime. I enjoy helping any way i can :) I hope you all enjoy the post and the wallpapers, hope to chat again soon :)
stay strong,
Jason
