Temporal Vortex

Yeah right, of all animes… I don’t know why but I happened to be interested on it after watching few episodes from Animax again (yes, i’ve been a fan of this anime but I didn’t had the opportunity to finish it because I didn’t know that it is stll ongoing) The last thing I heard about it before I rewatched it was — its episodes are keeping up with Pokemon (meaning to say, it goes 300++) and now it is about 500 episodes with several special episodes(sometimes 50 min. and few 150/133 minutes).

Well, I have to admit that the episodes are boring at times because of same old tricks, predictable and insipid flow of events. I’m just keeping up with it as well because what I just want to watch are the tricks and how they are done. It also a nice brain teaser so I can say it’s a nice interactive anime if you do so think as well who the murderer is and how s/he did the crime.

My favorite episodes are always the episodes whenever the Shounen Tantei-dan is on action. Sadly, the fansubbers are disregarding these episodes because they could be treated as a filler to the main plot of the story, that is- the pursuit for the Black Organization. *sigh* I wish I could learn more japanese so that I won’t have to depend on the fansubs anymore. Anyway, I don’t know why they are skipping many episodes… Many download-ers, such as me, archives the files… If there would be some missing episodes… then that is horrible. I won’t be able to burn the next set/season for the anime. For the mean time, I won’t be downloading any files and watch it through streaming at this link.

Too much detective stuff and I might become a mystery geek like Shinichi. I’ve also been inspired by Detective Conan to read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stuff. I had just bought the book(though it is Volume 2 so I still have to look for Volume 1) last week . I was actually planning to buy “Like a Flowing River” by Paulo Coelho but instinctively disturbed by the fact that I’ve just finished watching Detective Conan Movie 6: The Phantom of the Baker Street which has the setting of Victorian London.

I have watched already (through skipping) the whole Black Organization arcs(but not the whole series because of too much missing episodes…). Thanks for the DCTP because they are still working on it. Many fansubbing groups have already given up… If all quits, I’ll be forced to read the manga… Hope that DCTP would release the Movie 12 soon

I don’t know why Kaitou Kid has sooo many fans lol. I don’t actually like him. He’s more arrogant than Shin.

I think I shall posts entries about the movies of DC.

Everyday of course our moms wouldn’t stopnagging us about anything every now and then. That is because they love us, their sons and daughters.

I find Atashin’chi a similar place of our home. Not that I’m saying that the Mama in the anime is the same with my mother. Its just that she sometimes makes a fuss about things that is very trivial.

At first, I thought about things like… Are they trying to portray mothers as someone stupid? Well, uhmm yeah, the character of Mama in Atashin’chi is kind of stupid but she is just very lovely. What they portray is just atypical household. I just love the ruckus that they make every show. I can’t help but laugh. Few months ago, I really don’t know what Atashin’chi is all about. What I just remembered was Crayon Shin-chan because of the art.

Since I’m watching a show during 4:00 pm, I often turn the television as early as 3:30 pm (time slot of Atashin’chi). I don’t know what Atashin’chi sounds like when it is on Japanese but I prefer the Tagalog dubbed because the silly thoughts won’t be incorporated if it’s just literally dubbed to Tagalog. I’m actually waiting for the Dubber’s Cut of the show since the voices are funny and the speed of speech is sort of fast. Just a coincidence that they really showed it. The dubbers’ voices are very cute. I’m very amazed with Mama’s dubber. It looks like as if it’s her natural accent. They are also allowed to meld some ad lib to have the script look more natural.

This kind of show is the type that varies among countries. You just can’t get the thought if it’s from Japan right? At least, if the scripts were adjusted to Filipino culture, viewers will understand it. Instances like this are the jokes that has something to do with word plays. There no way the ordinary Filipinos would understand that kind of “joke”.

Therefore, anime localizations have advantages as well. I can tell that its just effective to comedy genres since the jokes originated from Japan. To suit the viewers’ taste, then it should be adjusted to the culture of the country.

I’ve been playing this for the past 6 months I guess…

In terms of the playing hours, I’ve been playing this game for nearly 2 days. To be precise, I’ve been playing it for 40++ hours. It’s been a while since I planned to “finish” a RPG. The last RPG I remember I finished was FF Tactics so it’s really been a long time since then. Something(or was it someone?) motivated me to finish this RPG for this might be the last PS2 RPG that I might ever play. Too sad eh?

I don’t want spoilers so I won’t narrate too much detail when it comes to the story. The characters of Wild Arms 5 are well-developed. They really have the reason to join the party and defeat the radicals. The main plot of the story is how the party would be able to break the wall between the two races; Human and Verunis, which is one and the same before some time.

Dean Stark is the main protagonist, he is totally dense. He is obsessed with the idea of being a golem hunter and had Nightburn, the number one golem hunter, as his idol. He loves golems very much that he would dig everytime just to find a golem part. An incident changed his perspective and decided to travel with the others. He is very idealistic that most of the characters are annoyed. Even so, he is considered very influential to all his comrades.

Rebecca Streisand  is Dean’s childhood friend who seems to have a crushon him. Knowing Dean, a totally dense person, she never dare to confess it even though she seems to exert effort so that Dean would realize. She plays the part of the narrator because she kept a diary since the start of their journey. She is also the coolest character for me for she can do acrobatic-shooting.

Avril Vent Fleur is the reason why the boring days of Dean and Rebecca progressed. She had a grand entrance from the sky alongside with a golem. Coincidentally, Dean and Rebecca is at the site where she landed. She woke up without any trace of her memories except the word “Johnny Appleseed” and the dual ARMs she carries which she gave to Dean. She was accompanied by Dean and Rebecca on a journey in order to regain her memories.

Chuck Preston was soon introduced but the last one to join the party. He is the golem apprentice that was mistaken to be the thief that stole the artifact from a town. With the help of Avril, he was saved from being hanged. He was resolved by the party to do something instead of watching each of his friends from his hometown to be taken away by the Verunis. He joined the party last.

Greg Russelberg is a renowned golem crusher and fugitive during this time. He had once a family that was murdered by a man with a golem’s arm. That was the day that he swore to destroy all the golems and kill that man in order to deliver his vengeance. He soon met Dean and the party. Dean was angry the fact that Greg is crushing golems but he believed that he is a good person. Greg somehow remembers his son whenever Dean is with him. He agreed to accompany the party believing that he will meet the person who killed his family once he join the party. He promised as well not to destroy golems to Dean during the journey.

Carol Anderson is the klutz but very reliable comrade of the party. Despite of being small, she is capable of defending herself just fine. She is also very knowledgeable to the things going around the Filgaia because she grew under the premises of Professor Elvis. She decided to search for her professor and went to a journey but met the party. Avril reminds her of the professor so she decided to go with them while also searching for her professor. She also considers Dean as her big brother. She is afraid of being alone again so she seek the company of others and she finally knew herself what to do since she met the party.

I don’t like to introduce the antagonists ^^.

I like the HEX system of the game. I wonder though how does one bullet hit multiple enemies in one HEX. Anyway, I also like the dual tech system because it reminds me of Chrono Trigger/Cross. My favorite Dual Tech is…

Trigger Rondo!~ Dean and Rebecca are very cool during the Dual Tech. It is also not so exaggerated unlike the other dual techs.

The story is kind of puzzling during the later part. I’m already at that part so I hope I could finish this game soon.

This is actually my first Wild Arms game so maybe I would try to play the rest as well.

I don’t know if I would be glad or sad about Inu Yasha’s ending. After all, they managed to defeat Naraku, I think. (I haven’t read the manga yet. I finished watching the series though.) I know it has been a pretty long journey before the boss was defeated. Isn’t it kind of sad? I guess there is no endless anime. Some things will really come to an end.

I liked Inu Yasha ever since I saw the series first on the television. I’m fond of the story so I managed to finished it. What I really liked in Inu Yasha was the journey itself. Their journey is very unpredictable. I also loved the characters for their tenacity to defeat Naraku. They never grew tired so I never grew tired of watching their adventures as well. I actually don’t know what happened to Kikyo in the ending. I hope she died peacefully and accepted that Inu Yasha has moved on already with their past relationship.

I think this is the longest anime I have finished watching (Regardless of Naruto and Bleach filler arcs) . It’s never boring because there is always something new. I also enjoy watching it because it is set to the Feudal Era. The folklores are sometimes involved so I learn something whenever I watch it. One thing I learned from Inu Yasha is the folklore of Princess Kaguya from the moon.

I hope Rumiko Takahashi gave it a good ending just like what she did on Maison Ikkoku. I’ll also wait for the next project! .

Anyway, I love the series so I don’t mind if they continue it… Just a suggestion. The manga is already finished so I guess there won’t be any breaks anymore. The ending is very vague so a continuation would really save us from reading mangas.

Even so~ I’m also planning to read the manga now so later maties~

Just wanna share something: I drew a picture of Kagome when I was still a high schooler… I cherished it because it’s the best(I think so) I have drawn so far. It was tore apart by a classmate of mine and I got so frustrated. Hahaha~ I wish I could draw it again the same as I did before…

I’m not trying to be an otaku with this blog because I’m not one to begin with. I’m just a fan. That’s it, no more, no less. I do watch just for the sake of entertainment and some lessons in life. It’s very difficult to find an anime blog that does the same thing! I keep on seeing ecchi stuffs and that is my border line… Everytime I look around I see the fan service and I don’t blog such things…Of course animes have fan service but that doesn’t mean you have to blog it… Negima is full of it but I don’t go for it but for the story. I just don’t know what people are thinking… Maybe it would be better if I would remain still the whole time and just wait for someone who likes what I write. I will take my time…

Maybe I was just desperate to look for audience… Well, not anymore! Zettai!
