やっちゃった☆

I wonder if this is part of the DL contents Ho-san was talking about. Or is it the 獣耳 series? Hmm. As usual I totally fail at Yuri でもいろいろ（注：お団子が）ツボ過ぎて描きざるを得なかったわけで。 I was super amused by the gakuen Yuri + Flynn parodying Seishun Amigo cover (pixiv). Pi!Flynn and Kame!Yuri. いろいろと気に食わないキャスティングですがな！

でもとりあえず公式GJですよねこりゃ。学パロ流行ってるっていうことですよね。でもいいよ学パロいいよ好きですよ。 Student council president!Flynn. It can't get more correct than this, seriously. NBGI GJ!!!

I really should have been doing this this and that that.

It kind of slipped my mind somewhere along the way but somehow I haven't seen TOV drama cd vol 2-4? Not that I've already listened to vol 1. But then. I found it strange mah lolx. That said, the manga vol 2 is out exactly one week later. I am wondering whether I should break my no-Kino hiatus just for it. There are so many things that I'm stopping myself from buying because of that 1DVD and 3CDs that I got yumegal to get for me (er mainly Olympos 2, Karneval 4 and Amatsuki 10). I am rather surprised that the cover isn't Estelle though! Isn't it normal to have the heroine on the 2nd volume cover... why is it Flynn... EHHH!!! 本当のヒロインはまさか！…なんてことはないよね。 Lolx.

I just watched Tales of Festival 2008. And. Er. I started liking Watanabe Akeno! Totally no link. She was Mao in TOR. Haha. Mizuhashi Kaori's voice started speaking and I was like... LILI!!! Haha yar Corda's Lili is the only chara I've heard her in... Plus I know nothing about TOL so... lolx. The very amusing thing was when Baba Producer appeared I was like... I KNOW THIS FACE!!! As Masayan says, お前出過ぎ！ Yar especially since like the period before this got a lot of TOV movie promotion and I think he was probably in every photo lar. But yar I like Masayan's emcee skills. 本当に面白いんですもんね！ I suddenly want to start listening to Masakano radio le haha. Since I like Kano Yui quite a lot also after the Senjou no Valkyria radio. I actually haven't heard her voice much except in that radio (I haven't even got to the part where her chara appears and talk in the anime) but I actually recognized her in Yokuaru Hanashi (as MikiShin's ex-wife)!! I was so proud of myself at that time lolx.

Anyway. I am envying yumegal who is going to V6 con in Taiwan. My first JE crush ehhhhh. I WANT TO SEE INOCCHI!!! Who is currently the only person in V6 that is happily married. The seat is probably way up but it's only NT800 ehh!!!! Which is less than SGD40!!! OMG. And I like up very high seats too anyway. Inocchi xD I will say this with a lot of emotions ok. Just like Nagano Hiroshi is Saiga Mitsuki's perfect man, Inocchi is MINE (ok he is his wife/Seto Asaka's, but that's not the point). And he will always be the JE voice I like most (Subaru is probably second, but he is very very very far away from the first). I hope the message gets across very clear that I like Inocchi a lot a lot a lot a lot hahaha.

As it says. いつもありがとう。大好きだ！ (Note: Please read in Tori-san/Yuri's voice.) To no one in particular though. Maa. Don't mind the fact that it doesn't actually look like my art style. It went wrong right from the start because I did the whole thing without drawing lineart and started from the hair =.= Thanks to that everything is rather out of proportion and... well. Remind me to never just spread a pool of beige colour hoping I can get the face shape right using the eraser tool. I don't actually remember Yuri's clothes so it was really rather random splashing of paintbrush. It doesn't look like Yuri? I KNOW THAT. This was mainly to celebrate me actually going to pay for SAI. Maa. Baka deshita. BGM = Kanben Shite Kure. Kon-chan, 軽い！

Btw if I remembered not to splash random beige on the canvas it can actually turn out alright like this:



This was a random hair practice thing some time ago though. Unlike the above pic which actually had layers, this one was all done on the same layer. And I gave up colouring because I forgot to seperate layers and it kept on smudging (which is sometimes useful but not always). Lolx.

* * *

Was packing stuff into box to send back. I think it ended up around the same weight as the previous box. Might be heavier =.= I cannot find my 5 Nintama post cards (tokuten from Animate) D: Sigh. Sigh. I want to cry.

Randomly was listening to Te wo Nobashite Me wo Tojinaide, and they were talking about what makes them cry, and then Tatsu :「友情もの？共に頑張ろう的な？」Maenu:「スポーツコンってこと？」 I was like YESSSSSSS. OMG. たつん、気が合うな！ That is like the only kind of film that makes me cry and cry hard at that. I cried for this drama too but it had nothing to do with the whole story! I cried because their kouhai were crying after they lost in the first round in Koushien! Omg lolx. I was laughing at myself crying so hard for something totally unrelated to the main plot.

1. TALES RING VESPERIAAAAAAA. Started!! Lolx. Apparently the movie starts roadshow 3rd October. Ahhhhh.... Maguro ice cream. The next eps for the radio is end of next month...

2. Namikawa ga kamu. Which is not a corner. Is an interesting corner. Although I'm not actually watching 07-Ghost I'm listening to 07-Ghost the World. Lolx.

3. Haha. SZBH DJCD 6. Lolx. 皆さん本当に絶望的だね。ていうかよくもそんなに短い時間でそんなに多くの絶望的なことが起こるよね。

4. 大喜び神谷ファンのかたがた。 But the official site is really pretty ne.

5. Coughcoughcough. Sigh. Cough until stomach muscle hurt =.=

6. Finally really reading through Tegamibachi. Zaji kawaii yo Zaji. Who will be voiced by Daisaku. As usual my sense of "cute" seems different from normal ppl.

7. まさか澪からのラブレター(悶絶)違うか。ラブソングか。あれ萌えるよマジ萌える！！！どう考えても本気で律の事書いてるんじゃないか！てか前髪おろした律ヤバかった！めっちゃカワイイ！！萌えた//////さすがスタッフ様たちわかってらっしゃる！もう律かわいいよ大好きだよ！！

!!! TOV DRAMA CD 1!!! IT'S OUT YAYS!!! I think I'm sort of directing this post at Ho-san, who is the only person I know IRL that knows TOV. ToriKou~!!! トリコウに虜♥ ダジャレでさーせん。

Ijou.

Chibi US+CA update.

気が付けばノートに滝が大量。おやじヴォイスはすっこんでろ！って言いたい所ですが妙にマジで美しく描けちゃう。こへーたと主人公三人組もちらほら。最近厳禁シリーズ勉強してるから厳禁トリオもそろそろノートに出張してくれるんじゃありません？とも思ってます。綾部喜八郎の段はすごかった！こんな内容で6時の教育テレもすごいです。今日は小松田出てましたね。私的にはもう十何年ぶりの小松田なはずです。なのに全然見覚えがございません。一期に出てたのかな。はてなマーク。よしっと！どうしても覚えられないのは今のところ竹谷だけだ！4年以上は。もう一頑張りするか！

I saw the post (some 4 days ago?) and then I totally forgot to go back and look at the results.

☆4th TALES OF RANKING: 1st = YURI LOWELL☆

TORIKOUUUUUUUU♥

I guess no one is interested.

Lloyd is 4th omg lolx Konitan's pleads worked!!! Look at Lloyd being smug and Zelos sighing LOLOLOLX.

Tales of has the best official (?) chara-stabbing crack and WE NEED SOME NOW. They need to announce TOS OVA 2 release date soon and start Tales Ring Symphonia again!!! I can just imagine Konitan bragging about Lloyd's ranking in the first opening talk. And TOV DRAMA CDS. NOW.

1. I was watching ToA 11 yesterday and I forgot to say... PEONY-HEIKA NEXT WEEKKKK. I have been saying "where is Peony" ever since like, eps 4? Lolx. Ok to be exact he already appeared in Jade's recollections, BUT STILL. Chibi!Dist is SOOOOO CUTE xP Keterburg trio ftw~

2. I'm not doing anything useful unless you count leveling up characters in games.

Somebody asked to dig up this post about the Auldrant calendar in the TOA comm. Randomly I'm born on Shadow Decan Rem 20. Lolx. I think I will die if my calendar is 756 days long D: That would mean really long semesters. Why would ppl want such a long calendar? Weird game makers.

TOA 8. Oh yay it's finally not a spoiler anymore! Lolx. I think this is the period of time that Asch is a playable chara in the game? I guess there is still somewhat a vague romance line going down LukexTear but... seriously. I don't see that much of interaction between the two of them to warrant Luke's over-reaction at Tear's "and I thought there was something good about you." I don't remember any scenes between the two of them after the Tear got hurt for Luke and Tear saying sorry to Luke's mom parts... Which was like very long ago. I'm still wondering how it will last 26 eps. Have lots of lots of fights? Lolx. It's Sunrise after all.

JS3225 is a disaster.

I shall get back to mugging CH2121.

This is the first time I went to karaoke with someon who sing Sound Horizon songs. Which is really really sugoi. I guess this is a call to make me start listening to my Sound Horizon discography.

The other thing is, we got the legendary room 15! OMG THE SYSTEM THERE IS REALLY GOOD. I WAS SO FREAKING HIGH THAT THERE ARE SO MANY NEOROMA SONGS (but why still no Koyoi, Koakuma ni Nare D:). AND GRANRODEO. And etc etc. I finally found a lot of songs that I couldn't find in the other rooms! Like KOTOKO's Love A Riddle. And surface's Honey Come, Honey! 千載不磨の夜明け前！ Lolx finally 我终于对得起 ToriKou le! I think they have the full Corda list until just before Corda 2 ~felice II~ (I sang PRECIOUS and FLAME). There were those songs that came out in the NeoRoma Trillion series. Like December Dream/Destination/Mermaid. I was really sad that there wasn't my list of Zephel songs to sing.

And we were really old school and sang Get Along (from the first Slayers series).

If I ever get another chance to go into this room, I AM DEFINITELY SINGING KENZEN NA HONNOU THIS TIME ROUND. And die from the long lyrics/rap. I seriously want to say the "Taniyama-kun no atama no naka tte sonna koto bakari dayo ne" part. (Aho.)

And the amusing thing is, the person I went k with is my oral partner, and I only started talking to her because we were oral partners. She let me listen to this song on Sound Horizon's 6th album and the vocalist sounded really, really familiar to me and I just went to check it. (Not the voice itself but also the way she sings.) It was Kuribayashi Minami! No wonder so familiar. Seriously, I'm going to force myself to listen to it this week and I'll seriously cry if I can't recongize the seiyuu inside. No wait I'm pretty sure I will at least recognize Kuwashima Houko, Wakamoto-san, Tobita-san, Inoue Marina and Youkyan. I'm not very confident of recognizing Rikiya-san actually. Same for the rest of the seiyuu.

Mass Media? What Mass Media.

* * *

I forgot my weekly ToA review. Luke is aho as usual. I still think this is going to end this season. Ion's hint about er, Sync and everything is so obvious. And Regret already started talking about Fonmicry (ok whatever the spelling is) so I guess this isn't even subtle at all?

* * *

Looking at the Arashi fans around. Have you ever seen this CM → 嵐 SUMMER TOUR 2006（TVスポット）? I'm terrible interested in watching it. 06 Summer Tour I think is the ARASHIC one?

Sigh. Somehow ToA 6 and Switch OVA 1 was more important than sleep. You know, Switch is one of the manga series that I really love but never wanted it to be animated. So. OVA is just nice! I'm pretty sure if it ever became TV anime it will be totally screwed up (like Monochrome Factor or to the other extent, Amatsuki). But in the OVA... think it's because naked ape also participated in the scenario writing, although it's an original story, the pace/whatever is very very Switch/naked ape-ish. Although I was like tuning off when Kagura (I find it very amusing that Kagura's seiyuu is Sugitan) started spouting all those biology terms even though there were (rather good) subs. How come there was Ibu but not Miyoshi! WHY. I wonder when this case is set to be (as in, before/after which case in the manga timeline...), but it must be sometime after the Ryuugen thing bah, since they mention "key to Switch" and all. I'm starting to think the whole "Switch" thing is going to be like the black-clothes people in Conan. Never-solved mystery. I wonder what will DOLLS be like if it got animated (on a second thought, please don't). And I think it's because it's an OVA the art is really not bad. But my only question was... Since when was Kai's hair red? Wasn't it brown... And Haru is semi-dominating the show (as usual). Where is MIYOSHI. You know when the van came I nearly thought the 2nd division was going to appear.

TOA6 where nothing much happened other than walking + skits + fighting sequence (I half expected them to go "choroi ze" "amai ze" "choro-ama desu ne" since it's those 3 that ended off the fight) and first Asch-Luke brain talk (lolx). So is *spoiler spoiler* still a spoiler? After the rain scene, and Ion-sama's OS.

Hmm. LJ has a Halloween layout?

Anyway.

( I am a slacker. )

Fanart is, well, fun?

I so did not just spend my day watching TOV animation cut scenes.
I so did not just spend my day watching Viva Tales of.
I so did not just spend my day watching TOV palythroughs.
I so did not just spend my day watching TOS-R battle-winning comments.
I so did not just spend my day watching TOV superplay/hi-ougis.
I so did not just spend my day squeeing over "SOMEBODY CUT ME YURI'S HI-OUGI VOICE".

But Viva Tales of is really funny. ( Cut. )

I was supposed to study for LAJ3203 test on Thursday.
I was supposed to at least think of a topic for CH2121/Ji Kang due on 5th.
I was supposed to adjust the JMC poster to midnite_rain's suggestion.
I was supposed to do up the JS3225 table.
I was supposed to think of pairs for the JS2203 project.

Sigh. I suck.

As a side note. I'm glad the mangaka for the TOV manga is someone I have heard of and rather like.

[Edit] Luke wa aho da. As usual. "Hero? Me? Nobody ever said they need me! I'll follow you anywhere Sensei!!!" Even after Sensei told him the "shocking" truth. /eps 5 comments.

Somehow I got the exact same colour as verdandi_magic.( Cut for meme. )

Stop eating up my time, you stupid Tales of franchise! (Yes, if there is to be a TOF, make it Tales of FRANCHISE. Apparently they have bought the rights for all TOA to TOZ?) Now the only Japanese word in my brain is 机（つくえ） for TOS-R reasons. Stupid JP fans for thinking up that nickname for Decus (I think it's cos デクス→デスク→机...). Randomly, apparently ppl bought Xbox360 (which is very not popular in JP) just to play ToV. Maji de? Seems like the PS3-X360 ratio in JP and the West is the direct opposite... Obviously I'm waiting it to be re-released on something else? Unfortunately this is not very common in Tales of...

Er. Bear with me for a while more. I'm very 三分钟热度 so this game-talk period will pass really fast.

I was randomly reading TOV stuffs (ok I spent around an hour reading the walkthrough even though I'll never play the game) and I saw that this time, Yuri-Karol-Estelle is the combi that has the "choroi ze" "amai ze" "choro-ama, desu ne" winning comment. Didn't expect it to be Estelle, Judith feels more like someone who will say that, at least? Btw, I'm currently using the TOA version of this exchange (Luke-Guy-Jade) as sms tone. Lolx. I'm so very TOA recently.

ARGHHHH YURIIII. *sigh* Someone please be as nice as the TOA comm ppl and rip all their lines from the game please please? Personally I only care about Yuri/Torikou but I definitely don't mind having the rest too. In particular, I'm very interested in how Rikiya-san sounds as Duke. Hahaha. (Sorry atm Rikiya-san automatically equates to Shinigami-sama in Soul Eater. And Duke is so obviously a bikei nimaime.)

I think it's a good thing that I only watched the Tales of Symphonia OVA SOOOOOOOOO long after I got it. To be more precise, after I got to know there will be a second series. If not I can tell you you want want to stab the comp. Really. What kind of stupid cliff hanger is that to end off the OVA at! Grrrr. It's quite obvious that it's right smack in the middle of nowhere. And the tell-tale still-shots of Zelos, Presea, Regal toka. And then what is with the Konitan/Onosaka-san video message. "The dying one? We are doing the side where Zelos die?!" Excuse me. Don't anyhow say. The internetz are scaries. I don't really know the TOS story so I'm actually anticipating the next part (although it's very obvious that it's cut until not much is left). "Even though they may never ever announce the release date, it is definitely becoming animation some day!" Very useful, Onosaka-san.

Obligatory ToA post.

SYNC!!! DIST!!! I want to see Peony soon. Lolx. I totally lol-ed when Anise shouted "NEKURATTAAAA!!!" and Arietta was like "Arietta isn't nekura Dx" (Nekura is, like, being very pessimistic and gloomy and, er, like Zetsubou Sensei?) I think it's interesting that Ion is all "Luke will hear you =)" when Anise is all "you stupid guards", and how Jade/Ion were like "well, it's Anise (how can she be hurt)" when Guy was wondering if she is ok. I like how they make the bad points/weaknesses of the characters into their 笑柄. Like how Guy was also like "there's a limit to being 箱入り!" (Hakoiri is like, 大门不出二门不迈? 温室孩子。) when Luke was being oblivious to what is the 7th Fuseki (whose english name I forgot). I like how the characters find another character irritating when the character is really being irritating. Most shows tend to pretend that being irritating is natural and people aren't pissed off by it, but Tales of series usually don't. Haha. Well it's not that obvious yet, but it will be in later parts of the show. When Luke *spoilers*spoilers* and *spoiler*spoiler* happened... It's hard to hate any of the ToA characters xD (Well maybe I don't really like Arietta but I like laughing at her.)

Does it mean that after this episode, *spoiler* about Luke isn't a spoiler anymore? Hmm. It's fun watching the series again after you know the whole story and ignore it for 1+ year... You notice more details. No wonder people go for second playthroughs after finishing games (other than getting through side quests and stuff). Sigh. I wonder if this is 12-13 or 24-26 eps. Hmm. Somehow I don't think it has a long enough story to last until 26 eps. It feels like it will end around, like, ep 19? Lolx that's so 中途半端... Well, depends on how they structure the eps too...

Erm, not really related, but whoever casted Sugitan as Raven in Hakushaku to Yousei... This is really strange. And the ending sequence. I o.O-ed. I can understand that since it's a joshi-muke series but at the end, the Edgar/Lydia part? Hmmmm. HMMMMM. Isn't it a bit too fan-servicey, lolx.

I am watching ToA/CLANNAD/Skip Beat/Junjou Romantica/TYTANIA/To Aru Majutsu no Index/Hakushaku to Yousei/ONE OUTS/Inazuma 11/Kuroshitsuji/Mouryou no Hako/Yozakura Quartet for this season so far (yes I drop stuff based on eps 1s). 12. That's still a lot. Plus Gintama, Reborn, Soul Eater, Gundam 00 season 2 (which I'm keeping until I finish season 1).

Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 上 was lolx. I remember the Valentine Day part. From the manga? Or was it the drama CD... Speaking of which (totally no link) Kikuko-san did the "17sai desu" thing in CLANNAD ~after story~ 3 too, and I "oi, oi"-ed really reflexively. I'm rather interested in finding out how this Sunohara siblings arc will end (Yukarin's imouto-chara pwns *empathizes with Okazaki's pain/pleasure*). I want to watch the first season of CLANNAD. Lolx. 自甘堕落-ing.

Er. In short I'm high on Tales of the Abyss. So much so that I went back 2 years in history to look for my AschxLuke posts. (Basically because I don't have my external with me, I don't have my pictures and my photobucket password.) So now I'm back to using this wallpaper and laughing again at this "proton exchange" and and other fanarts. I still have some of these lying somewhere around my floors hahaha.

Randomly, my first ToA-related post is more than 3 years ago.

And AschxLuke is still OTP.

*procrastinating* Do you think if I can get my hands on something related to SSM and listening to Nojinoji's Riku Son, will it make me want to continue working on my 2223 paper? Well that is the start of my Lu Xun (and NojiKen) love anyway. I'm seriously wondering whether I should do the full 夷陵之战 or just the Lu Xun intro part in chpt 83. Hmm. I'm at the end of the intro (which is around less than half a chpt), I have 2022 words and 2978 more words to go. The main war is one whole chapter. Hmmmm.

I am very far away from JE as a whole atm so will be a bit slow, but KISUMAI CON OMG. Ok fine, juniors having cons might not mean anything (well, like Y3) but kya! KisuMai=favourite Jr group desu kara. So their new song. SMILE is a nice slow-ish song~ Has been sooooo long since I last wanted to rip a song from ShoKura. It's a very easy to sing/catchy song. Haha. Yappari I like Kitamitsu best in all of the Jrs. Everything.
