Space Printer in Canal City, Fukuoka

Though watching it without any kind of music could be boring after a while, this is still probably the coolest water fountain I've ever seen!

SOUL EATER

I finally could catch up with SOUL EATER by watching like 2-3 episodes on my PSP riding on the train for two week starting from ep25 to ep41. To be honest, this could be the only anime that could make me laugh on the train in a consistent basis. While I've made significant progress in SOUL EATER, it came at the expenses of the following animes and tvs:

X'and: Lost Memories: 14/15
Last episode watched: #8

Blade of the Immortal: 7
Last episode watched: #5

Prison Break: 9
Last episode watched: #7

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: 8
Last episode watched: #5

Fringe: 7
Last episode watched: #3

Pushing Daisies: 9
Last episode watched: #1

Chuck: 11
Last episode watched: 0(@@?)

To try to see how many hours I would need to spend to finish all these shows, it would equal to (15+7) x 0.4 + (9+8+7+9+11) x 0.73 = 8.8 + 32.27 = 41.07 hrs... basically, it's just impossible right now and somehow I may need to can some of these shows >< For some instances, I have great patient such as Lost but sometimes I just lose it (e.g. Desperate Housewives). Fortunately, I'm watching them at will. Otherwise, if I'm obligated to watch all these, I'm left with no choice but to declare "time bankruptcy."

OP2: Tommy heavenly6 - PAPERMOON

Suzumiya Haruhi Dan no Yuutsu & Itsuki Okaeri

Interesting MAD videos... why I keep posting videos related to Suzumiya Haruhi even though I'm not really into this anime at all?

First Taste of Busy Season

Works started to pile up when the deadline was approaching. Working beyond the normal hours just turned out to be a norm. Sometimes, I just didn't feel like to leave early because everyone was still in the office (even when my supervisor told me I didn't have to stay late… why she would care since my overtime didn't cost her a dime anyway -_-b). But lately, it became absolutely necessary to stay behind to finish the works on time. I did believe my office was understaffed right now after one of my co-workers left right before the busy season and we all had to share her assignments. Since then, it’s just getting worse and the pressure started to get into my nerves this week. My performance continued to suffer from countless mistakes and (constructive) criticisms were given everyday… Swiftness and perfection… so hard to get them at the same time… At one point, I believed the total hours I spent on one particular assignment would be more than my normal work hours in one day. At night, I just got too tired to have any entertainment and pretty much went straight to the bed after meal and shower before twelve. Three more months of this kind of life ahead, would I be able to survive?

Tough Week

This week has been particularly tough to me as I probably made at least one mistake everyday. First of all, I felt extremely sick on Monday, in which I got a blurred eye, a headache, a diarrhea and threw up on the same day. However, I did manage to stay in the office and finish the whole day of work without letting anyone know my condition. After that, my works were erroneous on the next couple days and Friday was the worst as not only did I fail big time, I also felt sick again. I discovered two big mistakes in my previous works and I technically spent half a day fixing my mess. Then around five, my eyes started to hurt again which result another painful headache. Anyway, this week was too damn long to me and I felt that every day was like a year. Time passes slower in difficult times… To my surprise, my supervisor never yelled at me even if I made countless mistakes this week. Maybe everyone was too busy to waste time on a useless person like me…

Minamike: Okaeri (みなみけ おかえり) 02

Busty Chiaki is hot... Minami sisters surely have good nutrition.


Fujioka's jealous that Toma's so close to Kana and wants to take his chance...


... but is rejected cruelly...


Another short story involving the the battle of consciousness: Chiaki suspects that Kana may have purposely altered the white board to trick her to buy something she isn't supposed to buy...


But the issue is resolved peacefully at last after Chiaki makes up her mind and just asks Kana what she has done to the board.


Somebody's suggested that Hosaka could get closer to Haruka by befriending her friends... but he's just too creepy when approaching them even his best friend rejects him coldly... (I strongly doubt if Haruka even knows his name...)


Last but not least, Hosaka, the curry fairy. Actually, he accidentally does the right thing to bond with Chiaki by helping her to know the materials on her shopping list are actually curry spices.


The song is just awesome. I can't stop laughing after hearing it^^

2009 Winter New Anime 2

I've watched several premieres of the new anime this winter. Here are some of my impressions...

アキカン！


Weird character voiced by Jun Fukuyama (福山潤) #1... this one has a great chance of being dropped...

宇宙をかける少女


Weird character voiced by Jun Fukuyama (福山潤) #2... it's a Sunrise's production so it'd be fine.

明日のよいち


A modern samurai/chikan (痴漢)... the quality of the artwork is great though the story sucks...

ドルアーガの塔 ～the Sword of URUK～


After the defeat of Druaga, the climbers are all out of work, and Jil and Fatina live happily ever after-_- The only great thing about season two so far: Fumiko Orikasa (折笠富美子) sings the ED^^

まりあ†ほりっく


Yuri + crossdressing... this anime could be something special...

WHITE ALBUM


An anime based on a h-game ten years ago... so far so good but I wish Aya Hirano and Nana Mizuki could switch their characters since, to me, Aya Hirano fails to deliver once again...

続 夏目友人帳


While the setting of the first season is in summer, the story of the second season happens in winter and still maintains its great quality from the first season.

獣の奏者エリン


I've picked up this anime because of Nahoko Uehashi (上橋菜穂子) and my biggest worry is that I couldn't find the source later as it'd be 50-episode long...
