No, I don't think these things work. I just like to sign them to show my support. I like(d) the S.A anime. With the manga coming to an end, I'd like to have just a bit more S.A to follow. (Yes...*sniff* I can't let go of it yet...T.T) So I found a petition for a 2nd season and signed it! Mua ha ha ha ha! (Though I'd prefer a series of OVDs instead...)

Welcome. You are here because you have stumbled upon a link, or simpley stumbled upon it in a google search^^. I post about my interests here.

For those who have ever heard of Shiawasse Kissa 3-Chome, I'm happy to announce that just a couple months after it ended, a new series by the same mangaka is starting. It's called "Ōji to Majo to Himegimi to" (The Prince, the Witch, and the Heiress). It's about a prince that has been reincarnated as a girl. No doubt this is going to be a gender-bender series like NG Life was! I can't wait~! Maybe I'll start translating this too when I get a hold of it.

I just read on Yahoo news that New Moon has broken the box office record of sales on the first day. It's made $72.1 million on its opening day, making $23 million on its midnight release. This breaks the record held by The Dark Knight.

This.Is.Absolutely.Stupid. WWHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~~~~~?!

I finally got to open volume 16's folder and see the extras! Go, Go, Tadashi-kun~! This time he talks with Iori Tokiwa.

I put aside $20 for the Naruto Shippuden movie and was excited when I finally got to see it. However, I was surprised and disappointed when I found that half-way through the movie, the dubbing was off! It wasn't horribly off. It was, like, .5 seconds off, but that's enough to frustrate me! Several things went through my head:

- Is this VIZ's error? No, this is VIZ weren't talking about. Even still, it's Naruto. They wouldn't screw up timing on a Naruto dub. Fans would have their heads.

- Is it the DVD? Did I spend $20 on a defective DVD???!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

- Or is this just my senile DVD player?

Last night I decided to play the movie from a selected scene, particularly from a scene that I knew was screwed up. To my further surprise, the dubbing was just fine then! So I'm narrowing it down to either a defective DVD or my DVD player. So I'm going to borrow the movie from my library when they get it and see if it has the same problem. Or I could take my current DVD and play it in another DVD player.

IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Volume 13 was released in English yesterday, but Borders didn't have it until today. That happens quite rarely with Borders. I wonder why it took so long to get VIZ manga here. I don't think it had anything to do with the flood that VIZ headquarters suffered. Or maybe that was the case...? Mua ha ha ha

I really wanted to buy volume 13. In fact, the next 2 volumes will be a big priority for me. These are my most favorite volumes in the entire S.A series!

All I need now is volume 11 and I'll have all the English volumes so far! Then volume 14 comes out in January. Gr. It seems so far away. By then I'll have a job, for sure! So I'll be preoccupied.

I still feel anxious, but not nearly as badly as I did last week. Why? Probably anxiety. I need to get insurance and a job. Gr.

I took a college exam today. Took me 3 hours straight to finish it. Talk about exhausting. Can't wait to get my results^^

I checked out Dragonball season 1 from the library. It brought back good memories of Dragonball. After watching Dragonball Evolution, I needed to go back to the original. That movie...god, it was so bad.

Lastly, I saw a blue smart car today at Hastings. I just had to take a picture of it. This is my all time favorite car.

How did Naruto achieve Sage mode during his training? I remember the old toad saying that achieving sage mode is just as hard as looking left and right at the same time, and that's when Naruto got the hint. Then poof, he has it. How~~? It's obvious he used the whole shadow clone technique, but it's still confusing to me. I started keeping up with the latest Japanese chapters when Hinata was nearly killed by Pain, and I'm up through volume 46 VIZ releases, so that means I've missed chapters 433-436. Was it ever explained what he did to achieve that mode? I know you're telling me to go read for myself, but...*sniff* I don't wannnnaaaaa~~

I think the pressure of my teenage years mixed with a new adult life is weighing down on me a ton! Twice within the month, I have undergone anxiety problems. At least, that's what I think it is. I've never experienced it, so I wouldn't know for sure. I get this extremely tightened, anxious in my gut and I don't know what causes it to go on and on and on. The first time it happened I was watching Naruto. I was really anxious because it was at a rather intense part of the story, and this feeling wouldn't go away for 2 days! I hated it!!!!!!

Now it's happening again, without much knowledge to the cause. It started right after I watched Dragonball Evolution last night. Then I started thinking things that I never in my life had thought before. Scary thoughts. Violent thoughts. It's really frightening. It's a bit better now, but I still feel anxious for nothing. Was Dragonball Evolution such a bad movie that it hurt my mind in some way? Man...

My summary for chapter 3 of Seiyuu ka is now up on my minami_maki_fan journal. I was informed that more scans would be sent next week, so I'm hoping it's true~!

It's here

WTF? Okay, that was weird. Livejournal didn't post anything. Anyway, grrrrr! Seiyuu Ka! chapters 6 and 7 are up, and I can't even see them~!

Been such a long time since I've posted about Gakuen Alice. It's crazy. But since English scanlations are all caught up and it was the past arc for the past year or so, I haven't really shown interest. But I just had to for chapter 121! This is it! This is when Mikan makes her decision!

Livejournal has released a new feature that allows you to be paid for everything you post on your journal! Cool,huh? My problem is that I may be sued for being paid to post manga spoilers and copyrighted images. So if I ever decide to take that road, then I'll have to cut down on it ...considerably. Mua ha ha ha

Anyway, just found out that dubbed Shippuden episodes are out. I can't watch them because the local library doesn't have head phones available for computers anymore. This stinks. Also, what is the deal with Disney XD airing that show on their channel? I know they aired Oban, which I enjoyed while it lasted, but that was okay for kids anyway. Now...Naruto is...heh... *relives One Piece 4Kids horror and screams* Are the dubbed episodes available online uncut? Will the DVD releases be uncut? If so, then that's no problem.

S.A volume 16 RAW is now available on Michex. Sad story. It's in .rar format. The library can't download .rar files. I'm screwed! I wonder if Zamzar will work to convert it?

KYAAAAAAAAA~~~~~! I'm gonna read this one for sure! Shou kisses Kyoko~~~~! *faints* Oh man, been waiting for this day. Shou, bad boy! XD

Seiyuu ka! is already a popular manga in Hana to Yume. And in connection to Seiyuu ka, Hana to Yume is going to feature an special interview with voice actors Yuuichi Nakamura and Tomoaki Maeno! Maeno is new newer voice actor, so I don't know much about him, but Nakamura is quite known to me. I mean, the dude is the voice Ikuto from Shugo Chara and going to be the voice of Gray in Fairy Tail. I'm flippin excited! I hope someone posts it online. I really wanna read it!!! This Hana to Yume issue is scheduled for release in 2 days... ^^

I'm finally back home~! Now can move about the Internet freely~!

( What else...? )

I think it's embarrassing when I translate or transliterate something from a manga and the official English version says I'm wrong. For example, "Ruka" changed to the official spelling of "Luca" from Gakuen Alice. Even though both are technically right, it's the manga-ka's say in the end, and the official companies have closer ties to the creator to get things right. Why bring this up? All this time I've been spelling Alisa's (S.A character) last name as "Epulton". I was almost correct. It's actually "Apelton". Gosh! I have yet to see how they spelled Finn's full name! I doubt it's even spelled "Finn Koupe Shuzette II". It sounds French, and French is never pronounced as it is spelled, or so it seems. (XD) BTW, I wonder who "Finn Koupe Shuzette I" is? Is she totally named after her father? Is her father named "Finn" too? That'd be so weird...

I hope Borders has S.A volumes 11 and 12 when I get back. It took forever for the store to get volume 11 for some odd reason, and I hope that is not the case with 12. My library has it, that I know.

These final 6 days are gonna be boring. I have to take everything slowly and easy due to my back, which will be hurt for a little while longer. I'm glad I didn't have back problems before, or this may have been much worse.

This is the 2nd to last weekend I'll be here. I'm excited~! Now I pray that this week will seem to go by quickly. Not a lot happened this week, but it sure did seem like it to me. The fish tank was cleaned, the tank filter was cleaned, my birthday was on Wednesday, the lawn mower broke, I hyper-extended my back (which is feeling much better now), I discovered on my birthday that the Special A anime has been licensed, and I just barely finished watching the Bleach movie on Adult Swim. Good movie. But now I'm wiped out. It's only midnight. This isn't normal~!

( more stuff about Bleach and...other stuff that's both random transitions and my memory~ )
