GGed by Google

The other day, OtaAgg and I were looking at our blog hits, and we were laughing at how our Ikkitousen posts made the top 5, and her KitaEri post made the first. So we were wondering, WHY people dislike Ikki so much, yet so many people look it up and end up on our blogs; and KitaEri was just a short post that started off OtaAgg’s blog.

I woke up this morning, remembering hard from last night that I had to look up places that sells seiyuu related materials in Toronto in prep for shopping with A-姐 tomorrow. So I proceeded to look it up on the vast search engine called ‘Google’.

Kannazuki no Miko

Synopsis: Kannazuki no Miko is the story of Himeko and Chikane, the reincarnations of the Solar and Lunar Miko, respectively. They are two high school girls going to the prestigious Ototachibana Academy of Mahoroba, Japan. When an ancient evil rises once more, the girls are plunged into destiny as their long-sealed personas awaken to defend the world against the Orochi. The Miko must awaken Ame no Murakumo in order to combat the threat while Sōma, the Orochi turned protector, repels the Orochi efforts to kill them. -Source: Wikipedia

Finally, a good yuri series since Simoun. I’m quite surprised as to how this turned out. I wasn’t expecting much after reading the synopsis by ANN. It seemed uneventful, but I needed my yuri dosage that I’ve been lacking since watching the great Simoun almost a year ago. (*^_^*)

underLing vs A-姐

…for my dearest Noto Mamiko.

I don’t care what you say, I’m not giving her to you, A-姐. As much as I am underLing, I can easily overpower you. (´з`)

Long Weekend Camping

I’m back from the long weekend camping. I anticipated rain, and the good thing was that it rained on the first day, so we got nice weather after that. Unfortunately, because of the rain, some most people had muddy sites. Luckily, my area was shaded by trees, so when it rained (or shined) it wasn’t too bad. My dad and I managed to set up the new tent we got in half an hour, while everyone else had to be ferried under an umbrella while they worked to set camp.

I enjoy the outdoors. I look forward to road trips camping every year - it’s nice to get out of the polluted city and breathe in some fresh unpolluted outdoor air. Time flies when you’re having fun. It was a quick 3 day thing, but I enjoyed it to the max. I’ll try to retell as it went, but my inability to retain information will result in me mixing up days and activities. Just go with the flow. I’m sure OtaAgg will point out my mistakes.

Breaking Dawn in T9 Hours

As the title suggests, Stephenie Meyer’s final vampire book hits stores tomorrow in North America. I’m quite excited actually. I purposely reread all three books to get ready for the fourth. Almost like Harry Potter, where people would reread the latest book before the new one came out, or before watching the movie. Granted, Meyer’s third book, Eclipse, of the Twilight saga, outsold J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter book.

Ikki DD, KimiAru

Synopsis: Loosely based on the novel ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’, modern day Japan sees a similar struggle for power between different rival schools with the three strongest being; Kyosho Academy led by Sousou Moutoku, Nanyo Academy by Sonsaku Hakufu and Ryuubi Gentoku from Seito High School. Together these three tousei, each with their own mangatama, fight for the honour of becoming ikki tousen and fulfilling their fated destiny through battle and conquest. -Source: ANN

Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny is the sequel to Ikkitousen if you haven’t noticed. The art was much better than the first season, which is a given, as normally art improves with each sequel. Then again, it was a different studio (ARMS) that did Ikki DD, rather than J.C. Staff, who did the first Ikki season.

Ikkitousen

Synopsis: Seven schools in the district of Kanto are constantly ‘at war’ with each other, and the students within - both male and female - have become skilled fighters and constantly battle with rival schools. Their lives and fates are guided by strange jewels, called magatama, that contain the spirits and destinies of warriors from the Sangokushi period (the Three Kingdoms period of China). One girl, Sonsaku Hakufu, has recently moved to Japan and is apparently destined to unite the schools as her counterpart united seven countries long ago. But, like all heroes, there is a darker side to her fate, and as always there is a constant struggle by those around her to break the chains of their own destinies and make their own lives. -Source: ANN

Before I begin, I would like to say that this is NOT a review. It’s just a NTS about the Ikkitousen series.

Happy Birthday, Congee Ow!

Okay, this is (hopefully) the last rambling from me of the month.

First and foremost, happy birthday to my dearest Congee Queen! I’m glad I got to spend time with you this year for your birthday! ヽ(´∀`)ノ

Summer’s finally here…

…for me anyway. While most people are off in other parts of the country/world, I’m fresh out of summer school, and currently bumming around at home. So what do I have planned? Nothing. Which is quite sad, considering how I look forward to summer every year.

The good news that I can brag about is that I have officially entered into j1m0ne’s RSS feeds on Google Reader, as has OtaAgg. (*^―^*) Hopefully we won’t disappoint. (*゜ω゜) At this point, we were considering on doing a joint blog…what the name would be, who knows. We haven’t gotten that far yet. XD

Since I have nothing better to do today, I shall make this a boring update of my life. (At this point, you click the little ‘X’ box at the top, right-hand corner of your browser.)

Animelo 2008

I’m a sad fan from Canada who only wishes she understands Japanese so she can have an excuse to fly over to join the crowd in the upcoming Animelo Summer Live 2008 event. From what I see and hear, they decided to split Animelo this year into two dates, and it looks like the performers list has balanced out for the both days. I feel bad for those who can only go for one of the two days, I wouldn’t want to miss either of them if possible. (*´Д`*)

I downloaded the 2008 theme song, titled ‘Yells~ It’s a Beautiful Life’. A bunch of other bloggers have updated posts about Animelo, so go check them out. Seiyuu3 has extra tickets, so if you want to get yours, message them quick! Danie’s shopping log has kindly provided self-translated romanji lyrics, as well as some screenshots of the PV. I’ve had bad experiences ATM with pingbacks on WordBlog, so I’m not gunna be linking to specific posts in a while. (;д;)

Go purchase the CD here! I would if I had moola and a credit card. Actually, I’d order a lot of things if I could. Hence why I’m on a mission to hunt down a store that sells legit Jmusic.
