Life after/during summer….

College starts again in Septenber…I wanted more time to do all the things I have been skipping out on(updating this blog of mine for example).

I like that hoodie =D

Anyway, I’ve been living a semi-hikkomori lifestyle.Only venturing out of my apartment for food and perhaps answering the odd phone call.

Pangya is probably the only game where you can be lolicon openly

One of the reasons would be my preoccupation with summer school.And the amount of work I have to do in scanlating manga.Not to mention my current addiction to pangya(its getting better).

Strangely enough, there hasn’t been much to talk about on the anime scene for me.Alot of “second season” anime are making their rounds.I’m enjoying Spice and Wolf  2 alot…..but that’s about it I guess.I do watch a few others but it merely serves to kill time.

Over the past year or two, I’ve noticed the shrinking anime indistry in japan while online anime disribution is as healthy as ever.Torrents are used less and less.Streamng has become the new fad.These drastic changes put the indistry’s status in limbo.It’s probably going to be the turning point which will decide the fate of the industry.Thisyear alone I’ve noticed a sharp decline in anime variety.A drop in seinen titles and a large scale increase in moe,ecchi and shounen titles.Titles which sell.Titles which I have grown sick of unfortunately.Hopefully things turn out for the better.

I’ll probably  be doing whole series reviews from now on if my schedule permits.Until next time.

Just another video I subbed with what little free time I have….

Kampfer:Yay for generic crap

Apparently Kampfer is having an anime adaption.What is Kampfer?Girls in school girl uniforms battling each other.Its like Sekirei…only the main character is a mahou shoujo-ish type.HE changes into a magical girl.The main reason I care is that I once considering translating the manga series after I stumbled upon a bunch of raws.Looked interesting but apart from the eye candy,pretty generic IMO.Glad I never found the conviction to do anything.So far 2 chapters of the manga have been translated into english if anybody is interested to check it out.

I on the other hand will be busy working.And my DVD’s for Vandread came today.The problem is I just found out I’m missing 2 dvd’s 20/26 episodes.So I’m back to bargain hunting.But those anime hoarders are charging crazy prices for the final DVD for season 2 I need to complete my collection.Hopefully I’ll find a sneaky way to get it for free.

Stuff I did this winter =)

Apparently I’m dead.Because I’m too bust with my life to keep up with this blog.Or whats left of it.These past few months have been nothing but trouble.

I’m a little happy though because I finally bought the whole Vandread dvd set from Geneon.Its in the mail but I’m gonna marathon it.Its probably going to be the millionth time I’ll be watching it.Apparently the DVDs cost less than my teddy bear now.

I’m also planning to get a job this summer to buy Azumanga Daioh and Chobits….it should cost a hundred bucks or so.I haven’t rewatched this as many times as I would have given how I’m such a big fan of Chiyo-chan

And I’ve decided to start translating To Love-ru on a semi-weekly basis so that my japanese doesn’t get too rusty.I’ll be posting the stuff I do on mangahelpers.com.And finally I’m going to go to Chinatown next week to find cheap junk(maybe).

Oh and I’m thinking of doing a few more of those song subbing thingys on youtube.I found the new Koihime musou shin Opening some sometime back.Hopefully I’ll get some time to write up the lyrics.

Rimless by IKU(subed by me) >.<

Yo…I’ve been busy recently…exams and such in a week and life sucks.So I subbed this video to make myself happier.I used the kanji on the back of the CD to translate it…I did change 1 or 2 words so it sounds more “english-like” since I could see its definitely taylor made for this anime.And apparently this singer debuted this year.Bah ‘m no good with J-Pop news anyway.Enjoy..I’ll be back to regular blogging after a couple of weeks.

Besides being the To Aru Majutsu no Index anime’s ED I like the tune alot for some reason.I thought it was going to be really emo but it turns out she worked some “mana” or spirit energy into the verses..lol

So I spent some time subbing this…last night for fun though I’m not very good at it(imo).I dunno if its all correct though since I did it by ear and all.I’ll correct it if I so happen to get the official transcription eventually.Enjoy ^^

Edit: I was told by youtube that this was deleted.Apparently there’s a loop hole of some sort here because this video works.Well….I fixed the lyrics anyway.

Raw version…

translation by me:(updated)

I’m falling down into my shadow;
Your breath is hidden;
Wait for me deadly night;
Don’t Scary;
The kind of world that you would desire…
is reflected in your gaze;
See you in your dreams yeah,babe;
As for those scary dreams;
For your sake,Fairy Blue
I want to smash the Black Papermoon for all to see;
Because you gave me belief in myself!
When you’re
Lost “Here” I am…
“Forever” with your soul
When I glance upwards,you glisten like the moon.

NOTE:

I do not guarantee the absolute accuracy of the subs since I just did it in half an hour.

Toradora!:OP & ED mini analysis

Yo…its been a while I just came back from my mid-terms and I “aced” it (>.<) no really, please let me ace it…ehh so I’m gonna talk about err Toradora!!!! But since I already talk about that in Yukan I’m just gonna focus around the ED and OP songs,sung by Rie Kumigaya and Yui Horie respectively,there was a third person but I forgot…lol

Megaman(& me) lives on:心の歌

Ahh now that I think about it…me going away to university next week really does mean that I’m leaving behind my childhood behind even further in the dust…I guess the rantings of Okkusenman would summarize my feelings now.I dunno if it will affect my anime watching…might?Whatever.I do hope to take some elementary japanese classes during summer next year though.And I might just go to AnimeExpo and take pictures of overweight Narutos cosplayers and post them up here so we can have a laugh or two.

By the way,I found the translations of the video to be somewhat accurate(of course some of that bullshit was modified a little to add to the LOL)Enjoy it because its the  “song of my heart”  XD

August Wrap Up:31 days in 300 words…not really

Hmm alot happened this month…though I doubt any of them were really significant.First off,I have absolutely nothing new to watch besides one piece(catching up on missed episodes).So I’ll just rant about how the current anime I’m watching is going as well as what I did this month.All the otaku related bits of course.
