I should have known sooner or later I would regret not jotting down the search sites or j-fansites.

In any case,this post is sort of reminder what japanese sites I frequently visit so that I would NOT have to search that particular site like for 2 hours straight with googles or linking and jumping from one site to another.

-PERSONA//MEGATEN SERIES-
~SINCE MEGATEN SERIES SEEMS TO HAVE MORE ACTIVE FANS THAN FF XD

[ Persona Search ] Good search engine site with ALL Persona Series Searches, ranging from Persona 1 to the newest Persona 4, even  Persona : TS. Although I need to check again whether it can be accessed by all people or not-I often get 404 ERROR from this site recently...

[ Persona 3 Search ] Ahhh... The sweet memory of finding my first search site... And the joy of seeing LOTS of good and average even plain sites...

[ Megaten Web Search ] Good site containing ALL Megaten Series ( Shin Megaten, If..., Devil Summoner Series, Persona Series, you name it)
basically. Though its drawback is that it does not have a CP Category search... Oh well, at least it has a lot of links and still easy to use, not like Surfer's Paradise or TINAMI...

I forgot about whether Raidou Kuzunoha have search engine or not. Maybe I should double check...

-MACROSS FRONTIER-

[ Macross F Links ] Though contain a lot of sites, I rarely visit this search site, mainly because it generalise the category i.e. Alto main, etc. With this kind of search method, it's kinda hard to tell whether it is BL or not. Though some gorgeous site not listed on the other sites tend to pop out once a while.

[ Frontier Kensaku ] One of my favourite search site! It deals with the famous CP search, and even though there are not many, it's still growing everyday!

-FINAL FANTASY SERIES//SQUARE-ENIX-
Coming soon... 'Cos there are too many.

-NABARI NO OU-

[ Nabari Search(?) ] Kanji overload. Okay, I admit I could not read what the hell is the kanji. I don't know but my computer server is being a bitch, so I could not link to the site anymore. Anyone?

-TALES SERIES-

[ Tales Fan Navigator ]

[ Tales of Search ]

-KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN!-

[ Reborn CP Search ] To those who does not know and ask me WHAT THE HELL IS CP, basically said, CP is a Japanese term of pairings. The site mainly deals with a lot of possible pairings in Reborn, so I mainly use this site to avoid the pairing I'm not fond of (100x69... *shudder*) Though I haven't check it for aeons now... Maybe SupaTsuna link has appeared by now :D.

[ Reborn Search Engine ]

[ Reborn Circle Search ] Site name : nuff' said. Basically


-GUNDAM SERIES/CODE GEASS/SUNRISE-
Note : Because Sunrise animes have a LOT of search site, basically picked up the ones that I can remember... Though there are still many to be added.

[ Gundam 00 Search ]

[ Code Geass Search ]

-OTHER-

[ Naruto Search ]
...Searching again for the link...

[ Oofuri Search ]
...Where Was The Link...

[ Bokujou Monogatari ] There were at least 2 or 3 search site, though I kinda forget the link... Help?

[ Gangan Search ] Good site search containing a lot of links to lots of series. Though there are not many of good sites, certainly it deals with series that still or does not have its own search enine e.g Kuroshitsuji. One thing though,

[ Gintama CP Search ] The crack manga has HELLISH lot of fans! There should be another site dealing with search engine. Though I doubt my PC's encoder would work on them...

[ Tokimeki Memorial GS 2 - Hanegaku Search ]

[ TINAMI ] To those who does not have a good Japanese typesetter/fonts, do not go to this site! Mainly you can search by clicking here and there, but it would be more convenient with just write the words on the keyword box...

[ Gameha.com ]

-DOUJINKAS-
...Which does not register themselves on any search engine site. Took a hellish time to track 'em down.

[ POPPO ] One of the good doujinka site with gorgeous and nearly canon art. She (I think?) does mainly hentai for Code Geass  (figures...) though reading from her blog, I swear this doujinka is a she, because she mentioned about her love for BL drama Cds... Oh well, gender does not matter if she could draw a VERY canon Code Geass art AND Macross F (!)  DOUJINS rite?

[ Hg=ex ] *inhale* KUORI CHIMAKI!!! Okay, Persona 2 IS/EP should know this site by now. I mean, who won't? Remember Avant Garden series, Tatsuya/Maya doujinshis with superb and beautiful art? Kuori Chimaki is the artist! I found out about the site years later, when I was searching for Persona 3 sites. A good amount of artworks pops out every now, and recently, she created another blog, [ a-LYR ] , focusing on anime artworks, including Persona TS and Macross Frontier.

[Umecha Tegaki Blog] Shoot. I was searching for Macross F tegaki art and I found P4 tegakis instead. CUTE ONES indeed. Okay, I lied. THIS IS HOLY S*** SHOOT SO CUTE asdfghjkl;!!*&(*^%!!!! *fangirls' brain : SHUT DOWN* The fact that it has good Naoto's arts (and handful of Naoto and MC being drawn together and kouhai3x and MC) makes my heart flew to the sky! Great tegaki blog for all Naoto lovers. And of course, one of the few NaoMC site which I fawned over!

-UNION-

To be updated...

Still searching for J-pop search engines... Because my encoder hates me, showing symbols everytime I visit some sites. How in the heck am I supposed to read symbols?! Also, if you need some help with other series or certain doujinka site, I would gladly help in giving the link needed. Would update if not lazy.

On sutasuka anime and how the males overreactiveness on ANN and AS never fail to mesmerize me...

It seems that for some reason, people tend to generalize "text-book description" of certain traits like Blood-Type traits and horoscope traits, when applied to a person, as "personification" ala Hetalia :'| The thing is, which differentiates the two of them and Hetalia, is that Horoscopes' and Blood-Type's textbook traits are applicable to a person and that they are not named as the horoscope/Blood-Type itself (oh hay, obviously). Which make claims like personification is actually quite LOL. BUT NO THEY DID'T GET IT. And keep thinking for the worst explanations >> Makes me want to go trolling smwhr indeed... :9

I would say that Dolly series is the closest thing to Hetalia, seeing that they use images of perfumes' aroma to create a personality, but eh. YMMV. Then again I'm not really liking the dummy mike technique they use... :'D I mean, I really enjoy Kannou and Sutasuka's really creative and lively recording technique, so can't really say that Dolly lives up to my expectation after the site hyping up about the recording....

As for Studio Deen taking this series up for the animation, while I'm not really enthralled too with the decision, I'll just swallow it and hope for the best. :x Not that having Vampire Knight's director is helping, but then again, I'm one of VK's haters so I'm positive I'm jaded about the director... *Pretends ignorance from the awry VK fans*

ALSO I LOLED @ HOW I FORGOT TO CHECK TENNENOUJI'S WEB. The main page has been updated with announcement of Bad Egg. And screw Yura for keeping quiet of whether it is the continuation of Lucky Dog (HOW WOULD THEY MAKE IVAN'S CONTINUATION LMAO) or fandisk. *pokes Tennenouji with schticks*

THAT AND HOW I FORGOT TO FANGIRL ABOUT THE POLLS. Thanks fujoshis in Japan-ILU all for liking my top 3 not that I hate any of the 5 though the order is a bit wrong, BUT W/E. I'm happy enough that Moe-chan Giulio and ero-megane-oyaji Bernard nearly tied 8DD;; THIS SURELY REMINDS ME OF DIRK AND ALI'S RALLY BACK IN 2005! XDDDD

Not that Starry Sky in heaven or whatever. The one that I have been fangirling for... Ages, yeah ages.

In other words.

I FRICKIN' LOVE YOU WHOEVER MAKE THE DECISION ♥

Once they announce the omaigawd so exclusive CVs to be the same, the illustrator for the anime is decent enough (which from 2ch scan may be decent) and they go original (since I don't wanna see bloodbath following after the 'way of sluttish'... O wait, this isn't P3P. Sorry. D:) I'm gonna have faith in this adaptation. Though I will still watch it even if they only take the Date CDs (highly possible since it's web TV orz) concept ROFL. Worse case scenario, they would do Spring only. 秋組いいいぃぃぃぃｌ!!! ;_;

AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER HAKUOKI OR ALICE 'PROGRESS' ANYMORE. Yeah, I mean, liek, where is your news gaiz?! (-_-)

はい、オススメです！ノ（゜▽゜）ノ

EDIT: Pffft, why did I set it to Friends only? *gouges self*

... Since I really have no PS3 or XBox360. ;_; Planning to buy but not sure when... ;_____; (I know I can steal my cousin's PS3, but for God's sake, he can't speak a damn Japanese. And what I want to hear is Kaji Yuuki, Youkyan and srsly, OnoD speaking nee-san! so truthfully, it's pretty much a dead seal for him to buy JP version hence I can't see him playing it in the near future orz)

But anyways, on FF13, I pretty much avoided the hype/fandumb/etc etc to get my own opinion about FF13's Battle System and stuffs. Truthfully, I don't particularly attracted to FF13 aside from Versus at the first time.

... Until whatever force tugged me to see all the trailers some days ago.

... And srsly, the battle system makes me squued.

... A lot.

.......................................................

;_________; I WANT TO PLAY EEEEEEET!!!

Though I'm sure I can find a way to spoil myself without playing it, the battle system's (seem to be) activeness makes me glued to the screen of my comp all the times to the trailers. And not helping that I increasingly adore Cloud's female clone of sorts, Lightning orz I swore I did a "Become my onee-sama~!!! *A*" once... Or twice... Or thrice... Or more.

Orz /headdesk

Anyways, throwing aside my disappointment of not having 3rd generation console 'cept Wii, I was surprised to learn about Bishie!Cid presence, not helping that he was voiced by Nakamura (I swore, I SWORE my ability in judging voice increases since I got that right with only 4 words >_>'') but in the same time, where is my rough-mannered, uncle Cid? D:

Also at Kaji Yuuki voices the character I have designated to be my shipping quo.

... *Stalks Youtube fast after the game is released in hope to find scenes*

Speaking about the shipping things, (and this is only from trailer)... My prediction for my "HOLY GOD OTP *thumbs" for this FF13 would actually be, for the big surprise...

HopexLightning

I SERIOUSLY DIDN'T INTEND TO HAVE SHOTACON PAIRING. I mean, liek, 7 yrs younger male OTL And I have been hearing RL friends saying "oh hay, Vanille and Hope might get go in the end since Hope seems to be annoying, and Vanille seems gonna be no good fem character! Liek, Hope is so childhish and well, they hug!" but seriously some of my pairing screw is pretty messed up, so I dunno why but I seriously have an adoration at how the 2 latest trailers show that kid beside Lightning in her emotional moments, twice so far (not including Snow since... Uhh... Yanno... "Nee-san" is already carved in mai heart #_# And I DO like Sera and Snow together <3). Not helping that she smiled in front of Hope twice. TWICE. *Shock* Maybe the smile is out of maternal instinct, but I seriously hope the game scriptwriter decides to drop hints on this pairing or better, make it canon. Makes one quite the unusual pairing in a game :P

Though I do kinda like the beta-pair Sera and Snow, with a dash of probable SnowxLightning in the late future. Oh but Sis-con is a-okay too *nods* Also Yun Fang and Lightning is a pretty hawt combi.

Versus still pending since I'm not convinced about Stella not having cliches in the end, so meh to predictions! 'Sides, not all the major characters have been introduced lmao

Oh good God in the whole earth, I know I am late to put it into thoughts, but seriously, how in the heck Shinji becomes so. ASDFGJHJKL:!

( OH RANTS SPOILER P3P ONNA RUUTO )

... Who the heck ever think to write this long name? :V From now on I'll just spell it AAA (NOT INSPIRED FROM BATTERIES. I SWEAR.) for practicality purpose :U

Soooo, after giving up from resisting the temptation to play even though I was like, procrastinating my essay in the night I finally gave up and open the game trial applications.

Anyway, fast preview of this game would be...

This game's music themes are so creepy for whatever reasons.

D:

No I kid you not. Try the trial in Haccaworks* site and see when you open the game whether you are not creeped out by the music alone. Couple it when playing alone in the night... I swore I was nearly crying in fear. :'| Though I sure love it for some reason <3

Need more playthrough though to decide the story though, but I can see why this is not going to be a very light-hearted with fluff BL (YES. BL. According to Haccaworks* anyway... Which I'm still cynical about. I mean, ummm... Where? D: ).

Suspense and mystery?

Heck yes:

From Haccaworks* site:

As if I'm not having this (o0o'') face by the time I read the last line. Like, am I going to have something darker than Hana Ki Sou? If so, OH YES. <3

Also the arts are so pretty~ To me anyway! :9 And Yue and Kurogitsune is such so adorable~! *A*

I mean



*A*



Me=sadist so sad face = Love

Oh dear I'm so much loving Yumekagami Misaki's artwork *A* Definitely preordering this game as soon as it goes out... In one of Comikets lmao

And so, with the closing of Fall soon, we'll get to Winter. NOW I CAN HAVE LOTS OF TIME TO GO RELAX AND DO USELESS STUFF and of course, finish up the piles of Drama CDs that is already like a mountain... Pre-ordering for the last~ YAY~!

Anyway since I'll definitely going to do lots of catch-up, definitely gonna have less time to check December list, but squeezing that would be fairly easy~~ Though I am particularly interested at Durarara!!, complete with the reasoning:

( Durarara!! Rant, complete with fujoshi rants )

/lazes off from posting her obscene fascination to Korean Drama, comedy only. No thanks, I don't need more melodrama in my life orz Though I do agree with my parents and sister that Korean should do more crack, such a shame with their acting skills are better than Chinese and Japanese and even Western to some extent 'A'=3 Though need to check Western movies recs fast too... Holidays incoming and dragging my sister off from her BF to watch movies... Optionally fangirl with my cousins and friends if my sister prefer to have romantic holidays XD

On another note, maybe I'll just try the trial for あかやあかしやあやかしの... Have been piled up in my HDD since Haccaworks release the trial version. Oh and have I said that the art for this "game" is unique? So much that my sense is tingling! Though I SWEAR I STILL DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A BL! C'mon, at least Hana Ki Sou has Hanashiro showing a total care for Kuroto on the cover, this one has practically 0 hints except if it's in the character description which I haven't read due to headache and anime stuffs! Anyway, now I need to find a way to order this stuff when it's released... Which should be in one of the Comiket. Oh great. Japanese proxies store hrm....

From Ryu-chan Interview (MQ MAKES EYES HURT THO. So some kanjis are omitted lmao for the sake of my sanity but still have most of the essentials intact though 8D):
 

( EP 5 Spoiler-FU! *Beato* )

On another note, have P3P already but can't play it till 14th :U My PSP is back in my homeland orz WhyIfailkthx >_> Bu-But... Tasty Aragaki is a so appreciated tasty, tasty Akihiko-senpai is so tasty, and MAI RYOUJI. SORRY THEO. I'M GAY FOR RYOUJI (okay, okay I'm a girl so what? :/ Picky details!) SO YAH.

... Did Ken have S. Link though? 8'D

ROFL AM I SO SMART OR WHAT HAHAHAHA

Yeah I kinda forget to update this as much as I have been following this :o

Anyway.
( Oh hai there is BL stuffs here so shoo those who likes not BLs! )

On Utapuri...

Updates on characters, and as predicted, Miyano's character has neat resemblance to Tsukimori from La Corda. While my second personal favorite, iPod-chan clone Natsuki has the Mr. Genteeeeeeeel type haha. I'M EXPECTING A HARAKURO ;_; CAUZE HE ZAID HE KYAN COOK BUT LITTLE BIRDIES SAID OTHERWISE.

Also on a very lolful coincidence I saw the title for the "Audition Songs" (ROFL OBVIOUSLY CHARACTER CD /SONGS)

オーディションソング1弾
「TRUST☆MY DREAM」一十木音也(寺島拓篤)
「BELIEVE☆MY VOICE」一ノ瀬トキヤ(宮野真守)

ROFL @ TRUST ~Kira~ MY DREAM and BELIEVE ~ Kira~ MY VOICE.

Sorry Miyano but I wanna someone's else voice not yours at the moment :'(

オーディションソング2弾
「騎士（ナイト）のKissは雪より優しく」聖川真斗(鈴村健一)
「悪魔のKissは炎より激しく」神宮寺レン(諏訪部順一)

... Whoever is naming the songs must have been seeing Winter Sonata and sth related to DevilxHuman mangas and/or drama too much methinks 8'D I mean, Suzuken's character's was basically "A Knight's KISS is more tender than snow" I know too long for a title of a song but but that's how you read it ROFL and SuwaJun's is like "A Devil's KISS is more Intense than Flame". Do I loled? Yeap.

オーディションソング3弾
「サザンクロス恋唄（ワルツ）」四ノ宮那月(谷山紀章)
「オレサマ愛歌（ロンド）」来栖翔(下野紘)

... I... Want to cry. Waltz type for Taniyama. Oh dear, I prefer him to sing rockish type of song but... Hopes that the Waltz doesn't actually sound ROCK instead. OTL

And LASTLY...

オーディションソング4弾
「永遠のトライスター」Aクラス(寺島拓篤、鈴村健一、谷山紀章)
「無限のトリニティ」Sクラス(宮野真守、諏訪部順一、下野紘)

I dunno if at this rate, I think I'm gonna die from loling too much lmao "Eternal Tristar" for A Class' Trio song and "Infinite Trinity"  for S Class' Trio song, whoever is naming the song deserve a gold star HAHAHA~

( CUT FOR LENGTH 8D )

So yeah, currently is in trail with this one 8D More info can be found here for the game contents itself as I'm not too fond of typing them today haha:

Dengeki Online
マイコミジャーナル

Link to Chinatsu Kurahana Website:


Super failing Edit : 

I receive some questions about how it can be N1's branch, so after triple checking the news back, I found out that I judged it too quickly with N1 site link was on the main page of Utapuri. N1 seems not yet and not planning to release an pure otome game or make a branch of it (yet) and from what I can see there is a lack of Broccoli site link on N1 website (OR I'M TOO LAZY TO FIND IT) and no announcement of it before? So it's my mistake for taking Broccoli into N1's branch for my worst judgement D: So sorry for technical stuff mistake there!

Although, N1 is involved in Utapuri's Game Development. GOOD NEWS ARE STILL ON. So in a way, it's made by N1 too haha~ Okay lame excuse for mistake, I need to stop reading at 3 a.m period ;___;

Quote from dengeki news regarding this info:

Oh on another note, not to sound mean and well, insulting, but I heard about the design resembling HB's Sutasuka on some otome-centric sites. I guess I found it really funny since it has no resemblance of whatsover to Kazuaki's nor Sutasuka's style haha~ I mean, Sutasuka looks pretty for the outlines but at some point "unearthly" pretty (for the CGs and official arts 8D) but but... utapuri has wacky-feel from the outline alone, like it was meant to be fancily have LOLZ moments in the game (which I am SO hoping with N1 involved!) X'D The atmosphere is really different haha~ Except if we are talking about the... Unique uniforms. ISOWANTMYPREVIOUSSCHOOLTOHAVESUTASUKADESIGNUNIFORM :c

Though I guess it's partly because otome gamers # BL gamers haha~ Comparing this to Sutasuka's might be kind of good indication though since Sutasuka is arguably so puretty~ And on a note too, having Tatana Kana's designed character to be capturable, as wacky as they seem at this moment is a huge plus to me. Let's see if I ever slash the characters since tehy area ll hybrid of Tatana's characters 8D -eyeing Terashima Takuma's and Suzuken's character for potential LAWLS-

Oh and Ren looks like Tatana-ed Zenya from Sweet Pool X'D HEY THAT LONG BLOND HAIR DOESN'T HELP!

~After killing herself with chunk of texts in 7 hours and more...

Beato MOE~ 燃えすぎるよ~！！！！ ﾟ+.(´∀｀*).+ﾟ.

( Beato's White Day. Spoiler for EP 4 game! )

EDIT: Beato's White Day Full Translation is now available (Well... At least the rough part). Since I'm already sure I'm not going to edit this journal entry despite knowing some errors are available when I did a re-reading (as well as wrong usage of vocabularies in English) -too lazy and is busy killing self with CE atm... WTF ROYALE IS GONNA BE RELEASED VERY SOON \o/- Here is the link for the rough translation. Mad props to musouka for translating this really lots chunks o' texts! :D

The fun thing, translated or not, I still can't understand what's the deal with that sound in the last paragraph LOL

*Saves Lucky Dog SS Luchino's special SS today \o/ Too bad I didn't get Bernard's SS OTL ME WANTS BERNARD BAWWWW*

And JOY, I still need to read Bakemonogatari novel ;o; *Shipping KoyomixSenjougahara this season* <3 I LOVE their mushiness that my friend spoiled me with :D

( Chapter 8 summary )
( Chapter 9 summary )

P.S: I will have to check back the book again to see if I missed something, so perhaps this summary is only tentative as now XD Especially since I have difficulty in understanding di[e]ce rule in both of these chapters.

I am surprised... So surprised that I actually write this... Well, I am obsessed with P4 right now, and of course, as an obsessed fangirl I am, I searched P4 fanarts, seeing it has been at least 3 weeks at least since its release. There should be some substansial fanarts popping out here and there.

To my biggest surprise...

RURU!!!RURURURURURURURU!!!! ULTIMATE POWERS CIRCLE DOES FANARTS OF PERSONA 4!!!!!O_O*FANGIRL SCREAM*

Oh yes, I'm so gonna enjoy this! I know RURU-sensei has some... Obsession to Megaten Series (Even to the point of making some doujinshis or anthologies for Soul Hackers and P3 (All Gag doujinshis as far as I know)). But I think she is quite smitten to P4 even to the point of making special room/page for it. Even more so that she actually register her site at P4 Search Engine and making P4 banner for her site 0o0. This is very rare for her (She didn't even register her site at P3 search before!), but I definitely have no complaints for this! I am doing a happy dance now that she has decided her favourite CP would be mainly MC/Yousuke (SWEET :DDD My BL CP of P4 obviously) and MC/NAO!!! OhmyGod,OhMyGOD!!! My favourite CP?! *faints in bliss* Man, this made my day now!

By the way, speaking of P4 pairings, I noticed that fanartists (non-hentai... I... Dislike hentai to great extent) tend to favourite the MC based normal CP as MC/Nao, and MC/Yousuke of course for BL pairings (natural homo da~ quote from a site :)). Surprise for me as I predict it would be Yukiko or Rise if they have finished the game. I know that some MC/Yuki, MC/Chie and MC/Rise are there, but all the fansites I have encountered especially those that do pairings fanart have done MC/Naoto. I really thought that Nao/Kanji would be more popular to fanartists, but as far as I know, only two or three sites actually dedicated to that pairing fanarts... Though I'm happy that Yousuke/Chie actually is quite popular around fanartists!

Now then, I am waiting for P4 doujinshis to pop out now... :))) Specially from RURU and Takatoh-sensei :D

Ah NEGAHYST, the circle formed by Yamamoto Kana... Which has absolutely GORGEOUS art style.

I didn't realize that this circle's author/artist is the same person which draw di[e]ce before I saw the doujinshi Asterik in
hitman_reborn
. Oh God, Now that I think about it, I remember her doujinshi website have some kind of link to her KHR doujinshi and I swear I saw the cover *facepalm*

Anyway, I was converted into Niou/Yagyuu fan because of her doujinshi, Mr and Mr Hitman. To summarize this doujinshi : pure CRACK. Niou and Yagyuu as assasin? Check. Parody of Mr and Mrs Hitman (I have a soft spot for this quite long ago movie...)? Check. Light from deathnote cameo? Check. TENIKILLER spray?! OH MY. CHECK!! Who would not choke on their dinner because of this :


(By the way, credits to whoever has uploaded the scanlation. I forgot it since I downloaded this quite long ago...)

See? UTTERLY. PURE. CRACK. With divine Art : +100

I swear I adore the doujinshika from the bottom of my heart. And I am also grateful tozettashucks for not only uploading the doujinshi, BUT also translates it! By the way, The pairing for Asterisk is...*drumroll*

MukuTsunaHiba!!! 692718!!! Tuna Sandwich!!! The ever so popular and infamous 3-some in KHR ^^ (for me anyway...).

Now that the Yamamoto Kana-sensei has done her  first KHR doujinshi, I would wait for the others to come. Oh and bonus for Asterik, my other favourite doujinshika, Acute Girls, also draw some 692718! Man, I am smitten with Yamamoto Kana more now.

On the contrast, Macross Frontier episode 12... Oh God. Ranka, I love you so much, I would always open my ear to hear your songs, and I really reeeeeeally adore you...

Oh god. I really have a tendency  to change my favourite anime and manga fast... B-But they have such prettty artwork and intriguing plotline as well...

Nabari no ou... First time I read the scanlation from Timcanpy like, a year ago... I am completely fall in love with the main character, Miharu, who had the most indifferent attitude EVER in manga... And how devilish he could be. I mean, he completely take an advantage of his moe-ness to manipulate trick the other characters.

But then, Timcanpy stop scanlating this and I slowly forget about this manga... One year later, I found SZJ Scans continue scanlating this series!! After downloading it and read it until volume 1 chapter 5, my stomach hurt after laughing so much (Even though there are some angst) because it was pure hilarious indifference!! :)

Then I spent 2 months forgetting about it and obsessing over Kuroshitsuji... I heard about Nabari anime and tried to find scanlation continuation and the raws... And damn. I fell head over heels with the series again and shipped the mangaka like a god immediately (Kamatani-sensei~).

For more information about Nabari no Ou, visit the livejournal comm or szj scans (too lazy to write summary... And it always sucks -_-) But for a short info and summary, it goes like modern ninja with the main character having a godpower skill, which made him targeted by two main power of the ninja world. With a lot of twist here and there. Basically, for me this series win me over rather than Naruto, which fails me after 6 volumes of the manga.

As for why I fawned over the series, it is much after I read the full 2nd volume ( the raw one :D) when I saw the supposed-to-be-antagonist Yoite just clarified that he is going to help him. And man, the story will turn to SUPER angsty slowly from that point.

Funny thing is that I hated Yoite at first because he hurt Miharu, damnit! And Thobari-sensei (Miharu-supposed-guardian) which I favourited at that time. However, major event at the end of Vol 2 and his complete ball of angst personality ( I mean like truly , seriously, completely full of shit life in 16  years of his life ) for the next 6 volumes just made me squeal and crazy for him. Usually I would not change my favourite character... So this kinda unexpected for me ^^. Other reasons why I fangirl him above Miharu (just a little bit...) is because of his *ahem* his hat XD,Seriously, I think I would not like MIharu this much if he keep being apathetic all the times with other people... But Yoite changed him to be more open. And Miharu tried his best to save Yoite. That's why I think without each other I would not like them this much.

It does NOT help that this manga has a complex and angsty yet very cuddly and toothachingly sweet relationship relationship of Miharu and Yoite. I admit, the main drive of why I keep reading this manga is because I'm intrigued by the relationship of each characters. From Kyouichi and Raimei (oh my... I'm in love with the cuteness~), Raikou and Raimei hate and love sibling relationship, Gau and Raikou oh-so-obvious care of each other, the legendary comedy pair of Thobari-sensei and Miharu *grins*, and many more, but the main highlighted relationship would be Miharu and Yoite's. Miharu-Yoite relationship (or to be more specific : bond) is just freakin' confusing, yet very strong and natural at the same time. Besides the manga has at least one super cute moments of Yoite-Miharu in each volumes... Especially after I saw the latest chapter (Chapter 46)... The silent sweetness of it... Oh God, I ship them so hard now.:>>>> I'd better stop before I tried to fangirl too much over them.

On the anime side... Macross Frontier... Alto-Ohime sama~ :D. Seriously, a shold-be kabuki pilot makes the most 'beautiful' pilot. XDD

MAN. This anime is pretty~~ Visually and musically. Believe me, I am in a deep love with the music (though it would not beat vgm of Yasunori Mitsuda in my case). And as like its predecessor, there is a love triangle here, between Alto, Ranka Lee, and Sheryl Nome. Personally, I would go for AltoxSheryl pair, but the relationship is presented beautifully that I could go for either pairing.

Plot... Uh, honestly, I'm quite troubled with its plot because of lots of detailed definition about this and that, just like any other mecha animes... So... Basically there is this thing called Vajra attacking a world called Galaxy... Aaagh! it's hard to summarize it!!! Oh man, just google it or try wikipedia for information. I give up ;_;. I know that it has connection with Macross Zero (Obviously because of the Nome surname *grins*)

Oh well better see next episode  of Macross F in crunchyroll now~

*speechless*


...Okay, calm down, this is not Minato/Main Character from Persona 3.

Yes, I know he looks like A LOT (If NOT the same) like the Main character. But he is not. Damn. Thought Atlus finally decided to revive "him" back...

To find out it is a character from another game... *WAILS*

Checked mangatraders.com today, and found out that chapter 188 has been released!!
To sum up chapter 188...

GOOD GOD!!! TYL!RYOHEI IS UBER COOL!!!!

MAN. It was crazy enough that in the previous chapter Tsuna had been kindnapped by Spanner ( and at the same time creating one more potential pairing... Amano-Sensei, I don't know whether to say "thank you" or getting crazy because of the hints...) and Ryohei has a kangaroo box 'weapon' (which I would gladly assume as pet XD) named Kangaryuu or Garyuu. And now...

He Can Fry... I mean... HE CAN FLY!! And the aerial fight... Well though I don't understand some of the explanation, let's just say : INCREDIBLE!

Seems like they would get to the research area soon... Can't wait for what will happen then...orz (btw no confirmation of Tsuna... Tsuna, where are you~ don't get raped overworked by Spanner, please~)

Oh yeah, now I have to go all around Singapore to search for KHR stuffs... The joy of being not-yet-18 girl... Result after 2 days walking around : nil (T_T) Need to find the anime merchandise store that actually sells KHR-stuffs now. And I really envy those who are able to go to Japan now... Animate~ I want your merchandises~

Kyaa~~~ FINALLY SOME ENGLISH INFORMATION AND TRAILERS!! *flies off to happy land*

Now I don't have to try to figure out what the damned kanjis in the website means~~

Back to subject *ahem*. Persona 4 (shortened as P4... How simplistic) is going to be released in Japan at July 2008. Yes, I know, it's kind of surprise, I mean, how in the heck they manage to work that fast?? (Up-to-date it is already 85% complete... How in the hell..? I swear I first heard the rumors about it around September 2007)

The storyline is still unknown until now, but it will deal with... TVs? What the...? And the shadows are back in action! asdfghjkl#@% I still don't know about the details, but from the trailer, it seems that this time it will take thriller-mystery RPG genre, with much murder going on. The setting would be at some Japanese countryside.

Aaaand... the characters! As always, the main character is nameless (therefore, I shall dub thee as Protagonist or Shuujinkou 4), and somehow looks like the protagonist from the 3rd, appearance-wise (grey-blue hair), but resembles Raito from Deathnote in the young age? Hmm... Maybe it's just my feeling. I'm kinda disappointed at Elizabeth absence in this game... And Margarete (Igor's new sidekick) seems too calm for me... *sigh*

And the Junpei and Yuka-tan of P4 : Yousuke Hanamura and Chie Satonaka! First appearance of Yousuke is ridiculously funny. I mean, WHEN will you first see a potential party member rolling in a TRASH CAN? Good job on bringing funnier version of Junpei, Atlus! Not much is known about Chie though, other than she has outgoing and sporty attitudes. Oh and bobbed hair.

Nearly forget it, but Persona 4 would be Megane-Heaven. The interesting evoker gun to summon Persona has been changed to... Glasses? Quite a disappointment, really, because I really think the persona summoning with evoker is really cool... Oh well, at least,some fanservices with ALL characters with glasses...

Gameplay: Prediction, it would be like P3, with additional ability like helping your friends, and I mean, the character themselves, not with Persona. Wonder what will Atlus name this system...

Also, the battle seems to flow faster than Persona 3 and MUCH cooler. See, when will you see all the character move like pro martial artists and sometimes summon persona with cool Bruce-Lee like moves? Oh Atlus, you'd better bring P4 to English sooner... After FES, of course.

The dungeon a.k.a the infamous "dark hour" changed from Tartarus to.... TELEVISION! WTF?! That's why I mention that it would revolve around television and tech and such. Oh who cares. This would mean one thing : it would have more bizarre and weirder storyline now. I just hope Atlus Will Not Do The Same Thing To The Main Character AGAIN. I am really scarred deeply after watching the 2 endings for Persona 3. No really good ending for the protagonist... :(

Overall, I think Persona 4 would be better in terms of graphic, with more realistic looking (kinda like FES but better) and detailed background. Not sure about the story though, but still have a very high hope for it.

And I would definitely hunt for it once it is released!
