Take it from me, spring is here!
Oh my god, blogger has the coolest new design layouts nowadays (so go and check them out!)~ Everything feel so fancy and a lot easier to manipulate than before XDD And after all that darkness (even though Run with that Samurai Soul lasted shorter than expected), it's time for an breath of fresh air, a little bit of spring and blooming flowers of this kind. :D
PS: The little hair on these flower stems intrigue me... greatly. OTL|||

F‧E‧A‧R
Oh gosh, I have such an irrational fear of stepping on earthworms crawling across the sidewalks on rainy days. -shivers-
For someone who can take gore and blood on a totally different level, I am deathly afraid of earthworms on the sidewalk and rainy days are their favorite time to come out and be their creepy crawly fat self. And the pathetic thing is I am super fond of rainy days (it's something about the moist atmosphere) but then I leave the house and THERE THEY ARE!!! -horrified scream-
I don't want to look at them but if I step on them, that just makes me feel even more disgusted because of its squishy intestines beneath your shoes (and your bare feet are only separated by that thin rubber sole and one layer of socks!!) so then I have to look at them.
I think I may be over analyzing things but I just can't take it, I swear I will have a mental breakdown one day (on the sidewalk, on a wet and rainy day...) D':

Fanaticism is Life
Don't-wanna-go-to-work syndrome is hitting hard. DD: I have to work 9.5 hours tomorrow... So to wallow in my own (remaining) happiness, my tendency to j-dorama and anime my life away seems to be coming back.
Finished watching:
Deka Wanko (デカワンコ):
Humorous police drama featuring a young rookie detective with a keen-sense of smell, good enough to match up to police (drug) dogs. And along side of her intensive lolita & frills-frills fashion sense, she and the rest of her team (a whole bunch of MEN) solves a number of murder cases! It's a great way to kill time since it's a little funny and light despite the fact that every episode, someone has to die DD:
Kimi ni Todoke (君に届け):
As hard as it is to believe, I do read shoujo (don't faint from the shock just yet!) And this, although it is the only one I follow regular updates with, is as pure-shoujo as anything can get. I mean, the original manga has already been passed 40 chapters and they just got past the stage of holding hands (if it was BL, rolling in the mattresses would have long been uneventful by now.)
But manga aside, I am here to talk about the live action film (starring Miura Haruma~~ V) It was a little fast-paced but I really did enjoyed it quite a bit. All the characters were great (though Ryuu could have had a little LESS facial expression on his face XD) and the flow of the story (for someone who never read the manga) was probably just right. A lot better than the anime because the anime was just way too redundant for anyone who had already read the manga DD: Btw: notice the girl who plays in Deka Wanko and Kimi ni Todoke?? (Looks familiar?~~)
In the middle of watching:
Steins;Gate:
Supposedly, this was a highly anticipated visual novel turned anime. It has something to do with time traveling via a phone-controlled microwave (that can turn bananas into green pudding bananas...) I am still not entirely sure what it is about since I didn't get it, if someone knows, do tell me DD:
AnoHana/We Still Don`t Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day(あの日見た花の名前を僕達はまだ知らない):
What a mouth full, I know D: But so far so good, at least it made sense (unlike Steins;Gate!) It's about six friends who grows apart because of the death of one of them, now many years later, the remaining childhood friends come back together to fulfill the wish from the dead friend. It has the potential to get really sad but it hasn't yet so I am quite grateful but it was honest and sweet, the art is pretty, the characters are adorable and I think I can't wait for more! XD
Tiger & Bunny:
I had high expectations for this but really, I am hating the main pair more and more... and the fact that I am only on ep. 2 don't help DD: Tiger is too uke (yes, it's possible for an uncle!type to become TOO uke for me to take) and bunny is just not my cup of tea (god, hate the hair, hate the glasses, hate his cool demeanor.) Currently, not sure whether I will continue to watch this... DD: Though I am totally addicted to it's ED song, Aobouzu(藍坊主)'s Hoshi no Sumika. XD

Take down that Love Machine
Title: Summer Wars (サマーウォーズ/夏日大作戰)
Release date: 2009
Summary:
Set in a world where a a large portion of real life can be controlled by a virtual reality called OZ. When a math-genius was roped into a (suspiciously) good part-time job that required him to spend four days at his senpai's family house, it almost seemed like a dream come true.
And then he meets her extended family (25 people+ and still coming). But that was only the beginning because in the next four days, his OZ account (and along with about ten million other people's accounts) gets hacked by an artificial intelligence call the Love Machine (hmm... there has to be some innuendo I am missing here!!) As expected, the Love Machine acts out in OZ and chaos ensures in real life. So it is now up to math-genius Kenji, his pretty senpai, Natsuki and the rest of her family to take the Love Machine down! (or be hit by a falling satellite from space.)
Commentary:
Fun times all around. It was fast-paced (action sequences), heart-warming (family bits), and humorous (both character design and those quirky OZ account-avatars.)
Despite the blatant boyxgirl relationship, this film (of course) would have some (if not major) potential for being gayed on. Like math-genius, Kenji and his super adorable personality (I have HUGE love for his character) and there are always the kickass uncles in the family that just makes you swoon with their middle-age-ness -thumbs up!-
However, as expected everyone's beloved boy wonder: moe-moe Kazuma-kun (who can kick major ass on OZ with his rabbit-avatar: King Kazma) with his loose tanktop-shorts combo along side of his tan-tan skin (though i think I would find him so much more MOE if he was older like 20+ because I see his potential as a seme!) ;) Though its so sad to see that typing 'summer wars kazuma' into google image, all you get is shota-uke!Kazuma being sexed on... DDD': I can't even find and link a proper pic of him here!! OTL
I must add, I am a huge fan of the the evil force in this film: Love Machine, not only does the name sound just so damn romantic, it is kinda cute (whether it be in giant black form, Indian God form, or just mini-Mickey/Kenji's avatar gone twisted form.) XD Though it might have something to do with the muscles... V
There is a little something to satisfy everyone, whether it be romance, humor, action, moe little boys or even sexy uncles (<-- or is this just me??! DD:)!~ If you don't watch this film, you just won't know what you are missing out on!

I am Bread Gone Bad
Why thou I smell worst than the garbage at home?
When I started working at this bakery, I thought I would smell like bread and all that is lovely. Oh damn, how wrong could I be.
It may the oil and the mass array of bread gathered in a tiny store but everyday I come home smelling disgusting DD': I have to be quarantined or something if I don't shower (with an extra amount of nice-smelling whatever) immediately.
Despite how bad I smell, I am starting to get a hand on things and it is a lot less stressful than when I first started and my feet hurt less even if I stand for 5+ hours non-stop.
PLUS! I got my first paycheck (more like cash in a plastic baggie OTL) *u*
Two weeks of blood, sweat, and tears- no not really, it was more like two weeks of bread, bread, and more bread XD
PS: I finally got around to watching the 2009 animated film Summer Wars! (I feel like I have been watching more anime/dramas/films since I started working DDD:?!) And of course, shall be writing review for it soon.

Tiger vs. Bunny
Title: Tiger & Bunny (タイガー＆バニー)
Status: Currently airing.
Summary:
Set in a city where superheroes work for famous sponsors (Pepsi, Bandai, Calbee and the likes) and their live-action fighting are broadcasted on a news channel of sorts called Hero TV. The story revolves around the partnership between long-time superhero Kotetsu T. Kaburagi (Wild Tiger) and rookie Barnaby Brooks Jr. (Barnaby Brooks Jr.) <-- yes, this is also his superhero name.
(So yeah, Japanese-version of Iron-man gone commercial basically.)
Commentary:
I heart not outrageous gay but hinting on gay sort of gay anime because it allows me to do the pairing myself. :D And this is a little like a choice of my cup of tea, after Star Driver, I really didn't expect I would find something THIS fast to entertain myself. Even though it is not as dazzle-dazzle as Star Driver or as sexy as my favorite band of bad guys (yes, Kiraboshi, I am talking about you,) Tiger & Bunny will work for now. XDD
Plot-wise, it is really straight forward but I have only watched up to episode 2. But with the way Tiger calls Barnaby: Bunny, I really don't know how gay they can get but knowing it's an anime by Japanese people, I can only expect so much more, can't I? XDDD
Btw: Type in Tiger & Bunny on Google image and the first thing you get is this:
(Yes, I was amused.)
I've got Mad GT L♥ve
Title: Tono to Issho (殿といっしょ/和殿下一起)
By: Anime adapted from Ooba Kai's original 4-panel manga with the same name
Status: Season 1 (殿といっしょ 1分間劇場&OVA) released, Season 2 (殿といっしょ 〜眼帯の野望〜) is currently airing.
Summary:
It's a gag manga (
Commentary:
It's damn funny, though I suggest those who haven't watch Season1 to just watch the OVA and skip the mini episodes, cuz the OVA is basically an extended version of all 12 episodes in season1.
As expected, it is full of random lol and surprisingly, quite a few gay gags (I don't complain however.) XDD And yes, the pink haired moe-moe girl there in the picture is a man. Hence this:
Also season2 is currently being aired so I am totally on the look out to watch it~
However, don't watch it with history in mind, please. There is nothing educational about Bishmonten becoming Bishaemon

Knocked Out!
Before anything else, I have to add: Gah, I love this little cup on the right! V
Title: Sucker Punch
Status: Released in March 2011
Director: Zack Synder
Summary:
A young girl is thrown into a mental institution where trying to escape reality, she turns to create her own fantasy world in order to set her and other inmates free. Thus, mad sexiness ensues. (Yes!)
Commentary:
God, you sexy things. As I've mentioned, this is one hot mess smothered in stockings, garters, high heels, and panties flash, in which I more than approve of -thumbs up- ;D This film has to be every otaku'swet dream come true, it has a perfect balance of sword fights, robot fighting, monster fighting, dragon fighting, sexy costumes and a heck lot of big guns!!
Since it was directed by the same man as 300 (a plotless war movie full of muscle men with no shirts on but do wear tiny mini skirts around their waist: SPARTAAA!) I did not expect a plot in this. But surprisingly, there was a story, maybe not so in depth and well explored as it could have been. Still, the stories integrated itself in the other and after it was smothered inall these MOE-MOE moments. V V
If you are just as interested in bishoujo as me, you better go watch it!!
Btw they published an art book (Sucker Punch: The Art of the Film by Zack Synder) and my god its gorgeous, I need those colored pages after colored pages of art! Also I am so buying the DVD when it comes out (b/c all the 18+ scenes were cut out to rate the film PG!! DD:)

Bottoms Up!
I honestly didn't mean to find this. But I was looking through Star Driver's official site for more news of their final episode. Instead, I went to check out what sort of specials they released.
Apparently, there is an entire menu of drinks and foods inspired by Star Driver at a few different cafes in Akihabara:
Sam and his girlfriend (don't remember them? what about their naughty squid eating... OTL) comes back in a sea of Sakana-chan's hair-spagetti.
KIRABOSHI!!（<ゝω・）~
This is a Kiraboshi!Burrito... （<ゝω・）~
The ever so dazzling Takuto-kun themed drink.
King Sugata themed drink (I think there needs to be a peacock feather in there!)
Man-whore!Hed themed drink.
Married-sexbomb!Kanako themed drink.
There is also a secret menu...but do you HAVE to blur it like that XDDDD
All photos are taken from the official site. But oh, there are more, just click: Star Driver Cafe: Kiraboshi Special & Star Driver Cafe:Southern Cross High School Special
