Hello everybody! Still here don't worry.

Well not that anyone cares *cough* *cough* but I still exist and am watching anime AND still blog but I joined a group on the site Daifuuku since I was losing interest in doing it alone with ALMOST no following(not that I cared as much I just like writing). Furthermore I COMPLETELY lost interest in Persona after buying and beating the game 7 weeks ago. I find I can only do like 2 of my favorite shows and can only write about what's interesting in each one. For now on I'll do less episodic blogging if any since there's JUST not enough to say usually. I prefer taking screen caps and writing my thoughts on them, like the scene itself. The HOLY F*CK moments. Anyway I'm more into covering the unconventional. Also projects like Perfect Blue. But that's what is up. I am really looking forward to Black Rock Shooter though. I imagine doing lists and such. But those are the changes if any if the crickets out there were interested! HERES TO AN UPHILL BATTLE!
-Relic
P.S. Finally someone to "help" out B.G. Bear lol. Don't worry there's a project in the works. Here's to the new year! Happy past holidays to everyone! Just got my Evangelion 1.11 AND 2.22 and I have death and rebirth and end of Evangelion(which because the company closed down is worth bank) so perhaps I'll have some stuff to do with that.

Persona 4 the Animation Episode 9

Not my favorite episode by any means... To be honest I couldn't help but find all the things I DIDN'T like about this episode

First off, I thought the animation quality was sort of crappy compared to all the previous episodes. The face shots were admittedly good still, BUT those pan out shots and far away ones... They were pretty ugly. My major complaint is how distorted the faces got, I mean in one, Kanji's nose looks so sharp it could cut glass... And you'd think this was done by CLAMP, with how lanky they were looking. I just did not really care for the art this episode. It was also too cartoony and once Yosuke looked like he had the face of Sonic. It was terrible. Kanji's design needs more polish than any of them.

One other bone I had to pick with this one is just the dialogue... It's not snappy enough! It is for the most part bland and Naru isn't saying the "right" stuff, of what he could possibly say in the game. Certain parts that were really good in the game were left out, and uneccesary dialogue was crammed in.

Basically how the story differs from the game in this one is probably what bothered me most. What in the hell is up with the whole Rise running away from the paparazzi with Naru(who uncharacteristically snatched her hand, but then again lately he isn't the no non-sense sort of funny, bada$s I came to know and love) like Bonny and Clyde?! UNNECESSARY. Rise's also more of a b*tch in this adaptation from the game, and Naru is really WAY too opinionated and silly for my taste. The only thing he did that I liked and found to be what Yu would do is make origami cranes. But I digress, the show was trouble from the OP onward in my opinion. And the way the stalker Rise fan had teeth that would make EVEN Jimmy Neutron blush... I just didn't like it. The team up montage with the three whose faces come together like a comic strip and they slam the stalker. It just felt like a crammed in head nod to the game that was frivolous and at the best shameless.

Now in the shows defense I've gotten critical being a fan of the game now. The art is still good, and the distortion was passable I'm clearly just nit-picking. Every show has stereotype like the nerdy stalker with teeth of a Beaver. The show also can't be EXACTLY like the game and must slash a path of it's own, and has to shove in as much as possible while being loyal by choosing what to put in from game and what to leave out, which is why, like games, books are better than movies and games(when movie was out first) that come from them. I tend to dislike adaptations, TEND too. Still I really enjoyed watching this, lol! Just, owning the game ruins it a bit for me. Even so I hate how Yu's been acting lately, I want reform!

-Relic P.S. here is the picture with Sonic face and I don't even KNOW the f*ck who...

Boku Wa Tomodachi Episode 9

Well like Persona, it was a bit of a disappointment this week for me in Boku Wa as well, though admittedly for different reasons.












The art, the music, I got nothing to say about them except for them being as beautiful as always, arguably one of the best animated shows out there I'd say. Furthermore the music queues well and sounds moving, and fits what occurs in the show. The voice acting is like always top-notch. My complaint is the story's direction.

They hardly addressed Yozora in this episode and how she's feeling. I wanted Kodaka to maybe feel bad about neglecting Yozora but no, everyone acts as if nothing happened. *sigh* In fact the episode was all about Kodaka and Sena AGAIN! I don't want Sena with that much screen time! Where's my Yozora?! When SH*T is on the line, like Kodaka's love, she doesn't lift a finger BUT instead opts out in favor of allowing nature to run it's course... WHAT THE F*CK??? I want misguided emotion to dictate Yozora's actions in the form of a back-stabbing plan in an attempt to aggressively win over Kodaka. Is it too much to ask for, to see a cat fight? Sheesh.

Now, it won't be a problem as long as Yozora sooner than later steps up to the plate and throws Sena out of the picture. Hell, Sena can have Kobato since she's so obsessed with some kind of younger sister complex, or what ever I don't care anymore. Poor Rika too, practically selling her body but Kodaka smoothly blowing her off hahaha. Anywho, the show definitely is building it up. I felt so bad when Yozora knew that Sena and Kodaka would be together and then she was alone in the club with only the perverted Rika(reading mecha-porn probably) and an ever silent Yuki. But while Kodaka DID see Sena's voluptuous nude body(I have never found myself in such a lucky situation except MAYBE sorta kinda once, but it wasn't THAT awesome) I think Yozora is still in the running with her chances not too far gone from the bonding Sena and Kodaka did. But again I feel the emotion we have for Yozora, the show will soon capitalize on it, with Yozora having the kind of moment Chihaya and Taishi just had in Chihayafuru!(wait that's bad because then Kodaka will do what Chihaya did and find that she loves the other person more!)

-Relic P.S. Yozora has stretched and looked at the long road ahead of her, with the Sun shining bright, she's ready to be the pinnacle of this love "triangle".

Boku Wa Tomodachi Episode 8

Well I like where the show is heading. They'll be REALLY touching upon the Kodaka Yozora debacle very soon I feel. Unless they pull a "you expect HUGE character developments but were going to give some crazy scenario or explanation and nothing will have progressed until the last episode". I hope not but I feel that will be the case, because Yozora left early, and instead of it being because she felt neglected by Kodaka it will be because her and Rika were sick. Eh, if they do it well either case will be fine.

Boy do I know how Yozora and Rika felt... Black Friday shopping anyone? Holy Christ it was a cluster F*CK the likes of which I'd only heard about in legend up till now. One cheap DVD took about fifteen minutes in a line to buy, aye yai yai. That's what the pool reminded me of, everyone looks like their having fun but me, and like Sena with my self pretentious attitude on life think "you ignorant sheep, why come when I decide to shop once every 3 months!?" but alas they probably think the same thing. So many PEOPLE!

As for the Yuki and Kodaka thing.... Man if I met a dude that looked like that I'd probably just say holy crap you look like a chick, just so I wouldn't feel awkward, haha he even blushed and I can't really Blame him lol.
























Saddest thing was when Yozora left alone. Why weren't her and Rika at least sitting together? Do they not understand that just because they're fellow club members doesn't mean they can't... I dunno... BE FRIENDS ALSO!? Aren't you usually friends with those you bond and share interests with? It makes no sense! Also on another note, I don't know how old Kobato is, but if she's like 13 or 14 stripping in front of her bro... And MAKING him watch, that's sorta.. I mean that's just f*CKING kinda weird I think, I mean come on, I'd been like "put some freaking clothes on!" but I dunno, it feels like a forced anime fetish thing. Anyway I hope that HUGE character developements will come soon, I'll just have to wait, but at least only a week and not a few months like the manga!

-Relic P.S. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Persona 4 the Animation Episode 8

Right now I've logged probably ABOUT 16 hours on the game(I'm obsessed, it is so good!)and I've just now got to the Kanji case. I think I'm close to catching up with the anime, with the whole camping episode. The anime is so LOYAL to the game it's amazing. The show is basically the games cut-scenes. Anyway I loved this weeks episode.

It was slapstick humor and some character development which for the most part involved Naru and Hana trying to "get at the girls". Who can blame them? I'd probably be doing the same thing :P man those chicks were loving the attention when they were wearing bathing suits even though they were acting like they didn't like it, pshh. The mistake was when Hana told them their bodies weren't mature. That is one thing you NEVER! Tell a girl after she's 13 years old, as secretly that's all they care about, and I guess dudes are the same. No one wants to be the last of ANYTHING. No one wants to be the last one with a beard, pubic hair, breasts, muscles, child bearing hips, adult features, in a race, to lose virginity, to have a kid, to marry... List goes on, in the fact the only things you don't want to be first in is contracting diseases, death(unless your a parent and you don't want your kids first) and the first in line during a war.

I enjoyed when they touched upon Kanji's sexual orientation again. At most he's probably bi-sexual but in my opinion he's not homo-sexual at all, BUT that's just my thinking who knows? But if being all wrapped up in that burly woman's love and blushing wasn't enough, the loss at winning her love is definitely gonna convince you ;)

As for Konishi's brother... That's sad. You'd think if someone was suffering you'd make it an absolute POINT to cheer them up, NOT smother them in condolences however, anymore than a "I'm sorry" but even better just talk to them and be there for them when they need it. When they need to talk they will. Naru gets big kudos for looking out for Saki's bro.

-Relic P.S. You know those boys were happy under the sheets AND YOU KNOW... The ladies loved it, look at those faces.

Persona 4 The Animation Episode 7

This weeks theme REALLY delves into something I don't come across often in anime(or any other media for that matter). And that would be one's sexual orientation. Lets face it, in both reality and media, homo-sexuality has a certain social stigma attached to it. I myself don't have any problem with who someone likes as I barely have enough time to care about my own life let alone somebody else's and don't feel it is my right to criticize someone when I have my own share of faults. It's a topic that rarely comes up, and when it does always generates a bit of "talk". The only video games and shows that give this topic justice and an honorable portrayal(or even come to mind) is Indigo Prophecy, True Blood, Tokyo Godfathers, and Milk with Sean Penn. It doesn't comd up often enough, so when it does I really find it interesting. That THAT show or game is willing to touch which most everyone else won't. It adds another fold to an already dynamic narrative! So with that said I found this episode of Persona impressive for taking steps in the right direction but never really capitalizing on it...

While never DIRECTLY stated that Kanji is homo-sexual there are implications but ultimately it's up to the viewer. Personally I think that Kanji is really just confused by how he should feel with affection. His Persona grossly twists his emotions to extremes like indicating how Kanji feels towards the opposite sex. Kanji has just had bad experiences with women though hopefully he doesn't give up on them. It was nice to see the subject touched upon though if only the surface.

So BADA$S!

Amagi was pretty cool, getting to see her in action with the whole Persona summoning thing I loved it! That scene with Sato and Amagi in slime and the two boys just look'n at them with their minds full of dirtiness haha, they didn't even offer to help but instead wanted to film it for when the imagination isn't enough.

Now there were two cop outs I felt in the episode. One was when on the velvet room Morgan or something like that and The sharp nosed master offer they're help when Naru is ready and needs it. My thinking was this help would come WAAAAY later! Little did I know it would happen just 17 min's later THAT episode haha! Not that I'm complaining THAT much. I mean those snake hydra like beasts that took out Kanji Persona in it's uncontrolled form was cool but I wouldn't have minded more of a build up in music and animation and of how the beast is formed. Imagine if everyone had the "wild card" ability, they'd be pretty stacked on talent. My second complaint is the characters' interaction with Kanji. They mostly just provided us with the stereotypes of how people interact with the idea of homo-sexuality that are already out there. The awkwardness Naru and Hana showed towards seeing another guy that it is implied likes guys and them being immature about it, not wanting anything to do with seeing Kanji like that leaving it to the ladies, just proving how Kanji already felt about people being judgmental. The girls really were no different being happy he'd have no interest in them and Sato being annoyed by how Kanji's Persona acted and everyone bringing out their Personas instead to shut up alternate Kanji. Now I'll admit it was hilarious AND that Kanji was acting annoying as that was kind of over-done in regards to how over dramatic Kanji was acting. Still I wouldn't mind sacrificing the comedy and characters' reactions in favor of truly delving into the issues someone confused with their sexual orientation would experience. Still, a step in the right direction. And at the least we now have Kanji on board with the team to stop the perpetrator from throwing people in the television.

-Relic P.S. How would you like that big feller looming over your bed while you sleep?

Lesson from anime #1

O.K. this lesson comes from Hell Girl which is one of my favorite anime ever, in my tp ten easy, top five though I'd have to think about it. Anyway the art is SPECTACULAR the story hooks me like a fisherman hooking a gold fish the idea is so original it hurts AND theres so much of it to watch! Now that Anime Network fixed their App after like 8 months I can watch season 2 and 3(last anime I marathoned was Soul Eater and I'm telling you that ending isn't that bad, I liked it) now, I'm so excited! With that back story to the post, it helped me to learn THIS. If you have a girlfriend(first off good luck because if its like anything I've experienced first hand or heard about, your in for a rough ride)that will only have sex with you if your in Hawaii......... You need a new girl friend. THAT sir is RIDICULOUS! HAWAII!?!?!?! Oh man once you know its going to cost you a few grand for a bit of nookie might as well put a down payment on some gold bricks and give her a shovel, because you sir have just caught yourself a gold digger. And what guy needs sex so bad he is immediately willing to get a job just for a trip there. Oh my God that poor stupid son of a b*tch! If it ain't mutual make it platonic is my motto. And the girl WAS two timing him. Now though this doesn't happen often, if it does, run the other way and don't look back, because you might end up dead. His soul mate(while definitely pulling a Yuno from Mirai Nikki with how crazy she was) was right there waiting to love him too! Its not ALL about looks right!? Then again his soul mate is who killed him, though accidental. Eh, you can't win in this world, do what feels right, your odds are just as good as they are bad!
source: -Hell Girl season 2 episode 3-

food for thought: Girls wonder why its ok for guys to two time but not girls. Imagine a key that can open up every lock. Thats a pretty good f*ckin key right? NOW, imagine a LOCK that every key can open.... Thats a pretty sh*tty lock ;)

-Relic P.S. I was joking, never two time or buy women tickets to Hawaii for sex that is the moral!Unless you can afford it.

Boku Wa Tomodachi Episode 6

Things are getting VERY interesting especially for me who is also following the manga. Now if I remember correctly it went like one manga chapter a month but suddenly I feel I read 2 in like a months time. I bring this up because I winder if the manga will start cranking them out one a week or not? I highly doubt this, and feel as though the manga will have no longer be the decider in story direction since this episode OFFICIALLY caught up to the latest maga release. But I wonder, is the mange quite a few chapters ahead and decides to release basically one a month? Because if the anime was following it how could it have done the karaoke episode almost exactly like the manga(the anime focused alot more in how Sena and Yozora are in love with Kodaka and are especially cruel to eachother more so than in the manga)when it just came out? There's no way they just quickly made an anime episode version of the chapter? Is the anime finished before release or are people in a studio working their a$s off to make an episode a week or two before it comes out? I find that hard to imagine. So there might be one or two more chapters the anime is aware of and then it will go on it's own path, but stick with the same premise and plans the manga has or at least I imagine this to be the case. Its exciting because I get to see what happens next and not half to wait a month. Anywho, it was quite the episode. It was strange though, because I'd just read it, I felt like I'd already watched it, very uncomfortable de javué. I even imagine the voice actors when I read it now that I know how they sound. But they speak english and when I think about Japanese I understand it in English, I wonder what it's like to be bi-lingual but before I get too off topic I'd like to say the brain is amazing!

Rika was notably trying to get some alone time with Kodaka which Yozora also liking Kidaka tactically avoided their possible alone time with a group trip. I don't get why Yozora us going about this the way she is... She doesn't have the courage to be with Kodaka Alone or tell him how she feels but Rika is making an attempt(even Yuki seems like he is.... Probably just adoration) to be with Kodaka and win him even making clear how she likes him but is so open with her feelings it is less of a built up awkward confession where rejection can result but simply stating a fact that Kodaka can only be flattered by, allowing the relationship room to blosom. Even so I think Yozora doesn't want to make her self vulnerable and take the risk BUT at the same time still kind of have Kodaka to herself. You can't gave it all, it's not fair to anyone.

Now don't get me wrong since they are childhood friends(Kodaka is a foo!) I want their coupling, you know, the whole destined love thing... Yea, I guess I'm an ideal romantic oh well haha. But I hate when people don't convey their feelings, or at least in such a dysfunctional fashion. But now that Sena is flaunting the two of their future alone time(Sena and Kodaka's personnal hangout under the pretense Kodaka is visiting Sena's dad, which is probably all there is to it for Kodaka, him being the tender foot he is) I'm thinking a jealous Yozora will rise to the occasion feeling that Kodaka is slipping away or it could take a tsundere like route which I will despise... Either way good stuff.

LOL! those words were said by Rika in another room, she
was talking about a microphone!

Oh yea and who goes to a karaoke bar place to sing alone just so they feel that they're beating the man?! In comparison to the manga it was VERY depressing to see them alone and it wasn't comical like it had been... I hate seeing people sad especially when it's due to lonliness because it's the easiest problem to fix. Get up and engage someone(your not as misunderstood as you think, trust me, everyone brings their own pile of sh*t to the table ;)) And one more thing..... Why after talking with someone or feeling embarrassed to people in anime run away in either the opposite direction OR even the SAME direction!?!??? Is it just me? Am I the only one not running from girls after I am done talking with them slightly blushing and skipping away or running away from my buds. I'd say "why are you running away?" Even funnier when they run ahead, why not stay and walk with the person and talk? I run in 3 circumstances. I'm playing sports, I'm being hunted by something(hasn't happened...yet) or three the walking dead is coming on. People in anime run too much. And Sena was no exception, panting like a buffalo after running for like.7 seconds! I am a huge burly animal and even when I was hauling a$s after a runningback who got past my line I'd huff, puff, and regulate my breathing again. Oh well it's not that big a deal, I'm just a sick-o! But my favorite part of the karaoke place is when Yozora and Sena inadvertently sing a very cute duet together which had lyrics, that when accompanied by a montage of moments each shared with Kodaka, implied they both had fallen in love with him. Very touching scene.

-Relic P.S. need I say more than AWWWWWW!
