Hey everyone!

Another random blog update.. and this time

It's about an anime that just aired during summer 2012.

But before that, let me get started on a few of my own stuff.

School started again, and my professor is hilarious.

He asks the entire class "Why is 5 to the 0th power 1?"

Suddenly the class begins attempting at explanations such as "well because 5^1 is essentially 1*5" or some other crap..

...

and then he just says

"You're all thinking too hard. The reason it's 1.. is because thats the definition"

And then the entire class is looking at him with a hilariously dumbfounded stare as everyones just like "wtf man."

Ever since then, the answer all of the math questions involving "why does X do Y" is now officially because of definition.

What else is there..

Little Tokyo Trips 3 times a week.. never gets boring

Boredom in class

Nothing to do

Boredom in class

...

I still need a job

WELL without further adieu, time to get to the main part of this blog

~*~*~*~*~

「Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!」
No Significant spoilers.

Oh my god, the only thing i can really say about this anime?

Plot twists

Plot twists EVERYWHERE.

So what's this anime about, you ask? Originally from a light novel series, the son of a famous company, Mikadono Shougo arrives at a school to find his "perfect mate" and ultimate discover who his illegitimate sister is.

But come on.

Going to school for a perfect mate..

>perfect mate

This calls for some massive fanservice yes?

Well here you go!

Nah, I'm joking.

Though this anime does include a lot of fan service, the way they balance it out with the actual storyline is rather interesting. At first when Shougo arrives at the school, he conviniently meets up with probably the most perverted character of this entire anime, Tsuruma Konoe (above). She brings the ideas of "cream puffs" and i think that phrase alone is enough to shove some suggestive material up your supposedly innocent brain

Thats besides the point.

Of course in the beginning, the intro is very important and you are clearly able to distinguish what kind of character is who in the intro. Konoe, the very straight forward one who obviously has some weird fantasies of her and shougo (really weird..). Miyabi, the semi-tsundere? Maybe not, but clearly the one who can't portray her feelings correctly. Rinka, the elitist. Mana, the carefree one. And finally Mei, ... i really dont know how to describe her. 

Anyways, as shougo gets used to the school, he begins receiving an anonymous phone call from his supposed "sister," in whom proposed a marriage before shougo lost his brain to a car accident. 

But that's not enough to really bring up a conflict is it? 

Just marry her?

 Naaah, it's not as easy as that; gotta make it a bit interesting. As he grows intimate with a few classmates, Ikusu, put bluntly.. shougo's bodyguard arrives notifying shougo that there is a possibility that one of the girls might be trying to cause a scandal to take his money. Dont forget, hes one rich bastard. Everyone wants his babies lol.

That phone has the function to fake voices.

The phone calls dont end there. He gets a call like.. every freakn morning. If that was me, i'd probably throw my phone on the floor everytime i see the number.. but yeah. 

Oh by the way, ikusu is a girl, crossdressing as a guy. Yes, they hang out a lot and the students think that they're gay. Just throwing that out there for the possible reverse trap & fake B.L. people

Not going into the massive spoilers because thats for you to find out~

Seriously though, if you do watch it.. i GUARANTEE that it will throw you off guard. It's kinda like a detective anime without the detective feel.. if that makes any sense buuut..

This

freakn

phone

"If there's someone around you who uses that phone"

Godamn, EVERYONE uses that phone.

oh btw, it's a supposedly outdated phone.

Oh did i mention? This anime does a superb job at convenient censoring.

It's really amazing how well they do it. Even that never ceases to make me laugh.

Anyways, if i had to give any final ratings...

Animation: 8/10 Really loved the design. They really did know how to simplify faces at the right time, and their censoring both convenient and not was though somewhat disappointing, very well incorporated. I love the scenery especially in this anime too.

Music: 6/10. I wasn't too fond of the music. Though the lyrics were somewhat entertaining/fitting, as a hard music critic i just didn't like how somewhat imbalanced the entire song was. Felt like i was listening to Lucky Star or something. Oh and a random chat for you all, the ending starts with the view of girl's oshiri just waddling as she runs. Fanservice? Fanservice.

Story: 9/10 Oh man, like i said before PLOT TWISTS. Kono Naka Ni Hitori Imouto Ga iru! is really good at keeping you on your toes AND deceiving you when you least expect it. Whats more, they're really good at building up the idea that any one of the classmates could have been his real sister. And who the real sister was? Hell, I had my suspicions but i didn't expect it to be her. Though IMO, the ending could have been executed a lot better, they still made the story worth waiting for.

Overall, i'm tossing this a 8.1. Though some may say im not the best at analyzing/predicting stories, this anime threw me off guard a LOT. You expect the sister to be revealed only to be denied by a legit-sounding plot to take shougo away. 

Either way, this a REALLY REALLY interesting anime.. and i assure you, it bring the unexpected straight into your face. Border between must watch and watch. If you have the chance, check it out. It's really fun.

Currently looking into the light novels to see if there is any continuation.

And that's all :3

C82 stuff, and Lots of Stuff i guess

Hey guys! Didn't think i'd make another blog post did ya? Anyways, yeah boredom intrigues me to write another blog, so thus eye shalt! :D

~~~~* School *~~~~

So yeah, school just started again. 

Ughhh, it's SOOO annoying to wake up at 8:00 again. I'm waking up like half dead and not even a cup of coffee can keep me awake. ;~; Welp, it's better than not going to school. Like, it's kinda funny really. Ever since i started attending college, i began appreciating it a lot more. When i was in high school, i felt like school was just a hassle; i just didn't want to go, and it was considered the most annoying thing for me, EVER! However, after i go into college.. even with all the massive studying required and whatnot, there's still just too much time... and worst of all, i'm bored out of my wits end. Then school starts and i'm like "FINALLY, SOMETHING TO DO!" and then i realize im losing half my sanity due to fatigue. I was also having a discussion with my friend about high school in general...

~

No matter how i see it, high school is just unnecessarily tiring. If high school started an hour earlier and ended TWO hours later, it would actually do the students SO much more. People want to learn; if you don't want to learn, you lack a brain. They would be able to study, and actually pay attention. It's even been proven that students achieve better grades when they get an extra hour of sleep. Well, i guess it can't be helped because even the parents have to depart for work at an even earlier time. That's just a random rant mine though ;o

~~~~* C82 Music Rant *~~~~

Bunch of C82 i want to let you guys know about..

First thing is first, FELT's 8th album "Little Planet" is undoubtedly one of the best albums this year. Particularly the 10th track "Call on." It's a really soothing song of Native Faith. Call me biased for suwako, but i REALLY love the composition on that song. Not only is it really soft, but it has a very nice flow to the vocals as well. I kinda felt as if I was looking out into the sun-setting horizon from the Moriya Shrine itself. Put bluntly, FELT's album puts a LOT of emotion into the songs itself. This is quite literally the only album i'll give a 5/5 out of C82. Extremely good variety of emotional songs and especially the way it was composed. I'd give some musical criticism on it, but i don't feel like i have much to say either.

On that note though, albums that you guys might want to check out:

-TAM's 東方四重奏7 (REALLY REALLY good as well. 4.5/5 imo)

-Crow'sClaw アコースティック・エピソード (Woulda gave it 5/5 if there were more songs)

-Unlucky Morpheus - Parallelism (Lots of songs have amazing remixes, but i didnt like a few of the songs. still a 4/5)

-Melodic Taste's Melodic Battle - (A decent orchestra soundtracks. Definitely worth checking out)

-Check out the rest. There are a LOT of good albums (that i didnt mention) out there. Extremely worth it. Don't forget to support them by actually buying the album!

And as a second note, does anyone the entire game list of C82? I wasn't able to find the entire list, though the music list was also very large.

That's it from me today! 

Thanks for reading my awful tl;drs ^^;;

OH RIGHT tomarrows my birthday..

New Start and My Official End of my Hisoutensoku Career

Wow, I really haven't updated in a while have I?

Well here I am~ <3 

I'll be updating a lot more now so keep in touch~ Kero

First things first, it's as blunt as the title says. I've given up on hisoutensoku. I don't know how I should really say it, but I'm just leaving the entire on an anonymous note. I know my presence there really didn't have much of a significance, so i decided it's rather proper to leave without much notice. From what it seems, i seem to be very neglected and forgotten.. and to be frankly honest, i prefer it that way.. I don't really intend to return either, for those who want me to think it over. I think it's for the better. Why you say? Originally i'd keep it a secret BUT it's my blog ya know :3 I'll give you an entire story and my final thoughts about it towards the end..

BUT for now, i'll start with the happier news~

My birthday's coming up soon, and it's really easy to remember too. 9/9, double nines :D Yuuup, in a few days, I'm turning ** years old I'm turning old now. It feels baaad ;__; Buut yeah time goes really really fast and I can't believe it's already another year. I just started to play MapleStory again (shoot me please </3), Elsword, LoL as always, DotA 2, Counter Offensive: Global Strike, and stuff like that. It's kinda better than sticking to soku now that i think about it. I don't feel too stressed out anymore, OH and i'm gonna do a few piano renditions of Zero No Tsukaima soundtracks (Got an entire sheetbook for it ^~^)

OH RIGHT

School's starting too...

...

...

I didn't forget about y'know. I'm serious!

Welp, I'm so glad I'm not in high school anymore ^^;;

I don't have to wake up really early now. 

Right now, i need something that can kill time.. OH right, i need to go draw a bit more and write some more fanfics... buut man. The inspiration. I don't have any and when i do get some, it feels short. Well in a nutshell, i'm bored but thats really it. I hope i can find something to bring myself back up out of this boredom ;o OH and comiket stuff. GET FELT'S 8TH ALBUM. ITS AMAZING.

Thats my not so daily rant. 

~Oh and I might possibly be moving blogs to another host, but i'll let you guys know beforehand~

Kero Kero..

....

....

....

I'm forgetting something here..

uhhh

Oh right, I almost forgot....

The depressing news about my hisoutensoku career.

Was fun, and i guess 2 years was enough time in a single community.. i guess

Well, if you don't want to read the tl;dr and attentionwhoring below, that's the end of my blog~ <3

~Kero Kero~

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Well, the reason i quit wasn't just one issue. I guess you could say it was many issues building up. I'm not gonna mention any names, like i said above.. but the main trigger that set it off was the fact that a close friend called me an 'elitist.' I don't know if I was necessarily overdoing it or whatnot, but I guess you could say the realization hit me hard. I was rarely ever getting games anymore in the community. Got into an argument with one guy, and he constantly made an effort to throw me out of the community; particularly, i assumed i never got any games because of him spreading around things to never play me, etc. I guess it couldn't be helped, I was stepping my boundaries after all. My pride was getting a bit absurd though, and once I got told it, the feel of regret just hit me really hard. But once you've already committed it, it's too late isn't it? Then again, it's the internet. No one particularly cares about you, except an unnamed few whom i trust, but thats besides the point. 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After the lack of games, my stress just built up. Not getting any games ruined my practice. I began getting worse and worse, and there was a tournament at a forum i went to. I thought that would solve my problem of getting games. It didnt fix my problem with getting games; it fixed my view on the community, the game, and my ignorance myself. Played a game, of course it was a pretty far distance game and lag obviously never brings fairness into any game whatsoever. Ofc, it's a field for flames, and thats exactly what happened. One of my favorites called me an elitist, dropped all respect for me. My pride just forced me to rebel, lost a good load of trust and of course hit me really hard in the mental area. I got stressed out, and by then i kinda figured.. this is probably the time i should finally stop. I cut off my connection to the IRC, Soku lobby, and practically anything that I had contact with the soku community. I should have made this decision months ago. I'm only thankful that I was able to finally commit to it.. I'm not attending these communities anymore because i don't feel like 'missing' the game.. as they say "See ya next week" in response to a "i'm quitting" statement. Let's face it, announcing that shit is just attentionwhoring at it's max.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Final thoughts? I should have taken Nan0teck's and Xenomic's word of advice when I heard it. I should have stopped playing that game ages ago. Why? Like they say, the community is mostly filled with assholes (Note, i didn't say all). The worst part about it? I was a part of it. Multiple questions threw to me from many of my closer contacts. 

"Why are you quitting?" 

Reason above. 

"I'm not even that good at this game." "Yes you are!"

Really now? I'm really not that good.

"Will you make a guide as a ending note?"

Maybe. I've lost all my love for this game, and chances of me doing it.. it's as long as i'm not lazy haha.

I may be sugarcoating it, but if I don't sugarcoat it right now, it's just gonna rot away in the lake of my pride. So right now, what i'm doing isn't really quitting... I'm just starting anew. I will overturn my absurd pride that I have. I will try to turn into a better person. And when I do, i hope that something like this won't happen again. It's only the internet, but i still learned a valuable lesson: Even the most trustworthy internet contacts aren't as trustworthy as you'd think they are. I also learned, my stubborn pride is probably the biggest thing that causes problems for me. Thanks for reading the tl;dr, thanks for those who supported me during my soku career, and thanks to those who cared. I really appreciate it~ ^^;; 

Don't get me wrong. I'm not running away. All i'm doing.. is moving forward

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

*Next blog, probably some C82 criticism from me*

So hey everyone~  Yeaah, i just finished my current piano project: Marisa Stole Her Precious Thing on piano. Yes i know it's an overrated song -____-'' buut it's a really fun song to play you know D: Anyways, here's a tad bit of of my shameless self promotion. it is my blog after all right?

Ahaha, thanks for watching if anything. Currently, i'm working on a request by Samidare.. Romantic Children ~ Soo yaa. Expect that sometime as well ^^;;

As for my daily rant, Oh my god, Sakuya 623B default in hisoutensoku gets me sooo salty ;___; I mean seriously, what kind of BE catch can be cancelled into another BE catch, or otherwise have the option to combo or continue a string safely? I thought it was supposed to be rock-paper-scissors, not rock-rock-scissors.. Anyways, yeah sakuya makes me salty in soku regardless but oh well X___x Daily rants and more daily rants. 

Thats that

~Kero~

Two Penta-kills in 1 day..

Seriously? TWO PENTA KILLS in one day, and both with my mains..

I don't know, this was just blog worthy LOL. Aha, thats it before i go sleep. Random LoL stuff >_>

Ironically, both games had people swapping to troll build AFTER my penta ^^;; aha, this was a good day.

I even got to finish my FH combo in soku

So, today i got bored in math class and i decided to do some drawing~

  I-i-it's not like i neglected any work or anything..

Okay fine, maybe i did, but it's a drawing so who cares :V ANYYYWAYS, thats my shameless self promotion there, but i do have some LoL rants before i head off...

In LoL, honestly, i really don't believe that supports should be limited to that 0cs bullshit. Though i agree it should be significantly less than the AD carry, or whoever he/she is supporting, it doesnt really matter if the support takes cs or not. The only thing that matters is whether or not your teammaters know how to do their role correctly in which breaks or makes the game. If you're a support, you should be helping your teammates with buffs. If you're an assassin, you should be focusing out their damage dealers and getting the fuck out. If you're a tank, you should be initiating fights, etc etc etc. Laning phase is just a side dish, the real game comes into play during mid game which is where you can probably determine whether you're gonna win/lose and surrender/push accordingly, etc.

Then again, i hate playing with pubs. Full pre-made always~

In hiso, i'm trying to get some more theatrical combos. So far 10/37 combos recorded and still going. Expect to see a nice combo vid afterwards :D

And thats that. ^^;;

~Kero

End of Offline Soku Outing~

AND I have returned home.

Man, I am very very tired out. After this post, i'm probably gonna knock out, but anyways we went to go pick up Kei at 5 AM, followed by beats at 7ish AM or so. Bunch of soku sessions and we also did a bunch of 2v2s, and SUDDENLY sazn's LAN connection became laggy. His brother must consume a bunch of his bandwidth ^^;;. We had Japanese BBQ all-you-can-eat-for-90mins kinda thing and MY GOD it was bomb. Then we proceeded to playing more soku and Grief Syndrome multiplayer. Lots of random fun and whatnot involved, and hell, if anything i'd so be down to do this again :O At the end sazn took Kei home and beats took me to the anaheim station which I rode over back home (I have their names awwyeah). 

Anyways, it's the moment that you've all been waiting for: PICTURES :D

Due to several reasons, i'm only gonna be showing one of the many pics i took..

Left: Beats

Right: Sazn

Middle: Kei (LOL facecovered)

Yeah, that was it in a nutshell :3

Now I'm really bored and I gotta find other stuff to do..

Welp, thats my daily rant.
