Last post(most likely); anime comments and to aru kagaku no railgun s opening

It's been a while since I update this blog. This is most probably my last post before my exams are over, considering my results aren't very good... So then, I just finished watching Devil Survivor 2 The animation episode 3 and Valvrave the Liberator episode 2. Starting with Devil Survivor 2 The animation episode 3, two more characters are introduced, Keita Wakui and Hinako Kujyo. I was hoping to see more intereactions of these two characters with the hero but apparently... It would seem impossible, considering the fact that Keita was killed the same way as how the dead clip had shown... It's like the producers just want to introduce Keita and then get him to exit the game... I guessed 13 characters in a short anime, are a little hard to juggle with, considering the screening time to give for different characters... But still, I believed that Keita's death is there to show how naive the hero is, thinking that whenever a death clip is up, the death can be prevented or that with power, he could protect anyone, seeing how he could be confident in saying he could protect both Io and Daichi... Keita's death would most likely start to shape hero's decision and choose the route to take. I am looking forward to what the hero is going to choose, considering how his character is somewhat calm and collective!

Next, Valvrave the Liberator episode 2. Considering the cliffhander left in episode 1, today's episode makes up for it. It would seem that the main character, Haruto, had became something else altogether. First, he is immoral and has high speed regenation. Then, he could switch his conscience with another by biting the person. Such abilities are clearly not what a human is capable of. This episode introduced a new power the robot, Valvrave, has but I am guessing this power will be later explained on its control and what is it really... Some L-elf's character development too. Lastly, the most important part! SHOKO IS ALIVE! I knew the girl wouldn't die! Though this just made Haruto regretted everything in pressing the button, 'yes' to resign from being a human... And, now, seeing how Haruto's character is, he would most likely think twice in confessing his love for Shoko since he now thinks he is a monster and not fit to love... Monster is not capable to have emotions- that sort of thinking... However, it would seem that the purple haired girl doesn't care much and is likely to be in love with Haruto... I think this is where the love triangle will start... Will Haruto choose his first love, Shoko or the purple haired girl who accepted him even if he is a monster? Just got to see how the story goes since there are many uncleared points yet to be explained...

This week will be my last time watching my anime; I will be focusing most of my time on my studies... Maybe continue watching one or two animes but that's about it... For an anime fan like me, waiting for new episodes is a torture, let alone putting anime watching on a hold... Even so, I just got to self control myself and presevere...

Moving on, some good news! I finally managed to get my digimon to successfully evolve to utimate stage! It's quite an accomplishment for someone like me who never manage to get his/her digimon to the utimate stage! The next challenge to mega will be hard so if I managed to get there... I will really jump for joy!

Some personal reflection... It would seem that I had been quite naive into thinking that doing nothing wrong would not earn any hate to myself but I was wrong... Very wrong... You just... can't get everyone to like you be it whether you did the right thing or do nothing to offend anyone. I learned it in a hard way when I was given a different treatment from others by one of my classmates... Sigh... I learned to ignore and act normally because I know, what that classmate of mine thinks, is his business whether I like it or not; I just got to live with it. I guessed I'm like Haruto... Always searching for a peaceful solution and hate conflict because to me... Conflict would surely lead to hatred from another party... That's why... I sometimes put myself into a disadvantage position. Let's take one of the incidents I had yesterday. I was in a bus and trying to alight but was blocked and before I could alight... The bus door closed and the bus moved on... I sighed and blame no one but myself... You would ask, why didn't I say the magic words, 'excuse me'?- I couldn't do it because I hate interactions... Quite a dumb reason but that's how socially awkward I am... Sigh...

I guess I'll end off now and get back to work! Ending the post with a video of to aru kagaku no railgun opening!
Sisters' noise by Flipside! (The full version is long out! Get it now if you like the song and also... The anime is great and worth watching!)

Till next time! Ciao~

PW result, anime comments on devil survivor 2 the animation ep 2 and Valvrave the Liberator ep 1

Yesterday was the release of 'A' level project work results. My result wasn't the best but it still is a good grade and to me, having this grade, you could say I am happy with it! Even if the result is bad or anything, I could only look forward and move on since it is already over. There're much more things to work on than dwelling on this result because utimately, the main goal is the end of the year! Well then, let's move to the anime commentary part!

First, let's start with devil survivor 2 the animation episode 2! This episode wasn't so exciting as the first one since this episode is mainly there to build up the story and explaining some stuff. In a way, it may seem boring to some and lacking in quality but I can reassure that such episodes are needed to help the audience to understand the characters and as well as the story in the later part. Beside that, first episode is normally supposed to be exciting so to give a good first impressions to the audience! The only thing I want to highlight is the part about demons being summoned from the summoning app. It is true that that's how demons multipy during a battle but the rate of them being summoned... That's scary! It's like 1 demon per second! Luckily, the hero, Hibiki has a strong demon or else, I'm afraid it'll be game over before day 1 even finished! It's great to see Makoto with Power (this is no typo, the demon is really called Power) as her demon partner! Then at the ending, just like always, people saw the hero summoned his demon to fight and got afraid but the ones being saved, thanked him! This may be predictable but I think it is needed to show the fear of people towards these creatures which we viewed as demons. My guess is that in the later part of the story, this fear will be used... Áfter the ending song, there are some more stuff like Yamato's conversation with the Anguished One plus a little screen time for Ronaldo Kuriki... Watch it if you've not!

Next, Valvrave the Liberator! It is a new anime that started this week! I think it is aired every thursday! This anime has a feel of gundam series as it is made by the same producer and boy, the opening song is great! Have a feel of it!
Preseved roses by Nana Mizuki x T.M.Revolution:       

First, the story is set in the future where mankind live in some kind 'container'... And so, the main character, Haruto Tokishima, is somewhat like a boy who preferred the easy way out or rather choose peace as the method to solve problem. To some audience, he may be protrayed as 'not strong'... To me, I think such character is realistic! Unlike those shounen anime or manga where the main character is so strong that I think him losing is author's way to balance the character's strength which is a bit... Unnatural?

Besides that, this show comprised with some mech action where the robot is called Valvrave, hence the name of the show. I wouldn't say much about the episode so as to not spolit people who had not watched but basically, if you like the gundam series then you may consider this anime! A little small spoiler: apparently the pilot of the robot would have to 'resign as a human' to pilot the robot... You would understand more at the end of the episode! Get shocked by the scene and look forward to the next as this is only the beginning...

That's about it! Oh, before I end off, if I'm not wrong, To Aru no Railgun S will be airing today!- Looking forward to it!

Depressing results and devil survivor 2 the animation episode 1 first look

It's been around a week after my SA and papers are slowly returning... Not going to say it is a pleasant outcome... 1 fail and 2 passes currently... Left with another 2 more papers to get back... It is depressing alright but I doubt I am going to falter by it! No point getting depressed but rather learn and move forward! Of course, actions speak louder than words...

With that, I'll move on to the more exciting section! The devil survivior 2 the animation episode 1 review! This anime is based on the ds game by ATLUS and was aired yesterday! I had not really played the game but rather its previous series, devil survivor 1... When I heard about the news of this anime, I was like, 'why not the first series than this?' since I played the first series than the second one... However, if I think it this way, then it'll apply to the same problem of why persona 4 the animation than persona 3 the animation... Oh well... But considering the fact that there is 3-parts movie for persona 3, maybe devil survivor 1 may have its own animation in the future! Before I start the review on the episode itself, let's have a feel of the opening and ending songs of the anime!

Opening song: Take Your Way by livetune ft.Fukase (Sekai no Owari) and Ending song: Trauma / Be by SongRiders (Currently I am listening to these songs while blogging!)

These songs are epic! Just as expected of an anime from ATLUS game series! First, the opening song gives me a feel that there is a hope no matter how bad a situation is! In a way, it gives me encouragment to the current me! Next, the ending song...The starting of the ending song had the hovering sound of the helicopter, suggesting the coming of a war? The song clearly foreshadow the hardships those characters will be undergoing in my opinion that is and yes, this is somewhat the anime is going to be! If I am not wrong, just like the first series, 7 days of surviving. Moreover, from the number of characters, I got a feeling that there is an overload of characters as compared to the first series... It kinds of make me confuse... I should play this game after my As to see the roles of these character! Also, more characters = more ending routes unless some characters are grouped together... Ok then, onto episode 1 review.

As far as I know, the demons summoned by the hero, Hibiki, Daichi and Io are supposed to be defeated by them (just like the first series) in the game but in the anime, the demons just helped them! Maybe the characters in the anime do not have powers to fight but only the ability to summon demons... This is somewhat like pokemon... Just watching the first episode does not justify whether the anime is bad or not but seeing how the story is going, I got a feeling that it'll be good! Heard from people how the demon summoned by the hero is a high level one, I guess it is because the hero is special; just like the persona series!

Demon summoned by Hibiki!

Sorry that I am not a good reviewer but I think one should watch it instead of having other people to spoilt the whole episode. I'll end off with the trailer if you don't want to spend around 24 minutes to see whether you like the anime!

Oh yeah, for fans of psycho pass and especially towards, Shogo, the character in red in the trailer is voiced by the Shogo's voice actor! (Actually just listening to the trailer, you'll be able to identify!)

Next, some trivial stuff on my digimon... Don't know whether there is a bug or something, somehow, my digimon at its champion stage will die at around 7 evolution bars! I'm going to test on this digimon I currently have until champion to see whether the same outcome will occur again or not! And so, I'll end off with a digimon fanart with my OC, Keitaro Kuroki, and his digimon partner! (Guess what digimon this is!)

It isn't done well as drawing animals or monsters isn't my strong point... Ciao~

My Birthday!

This may be a day late but nonetheless, I will still post it! So yes, yesterday was my birthday and celebrated with my family members! I'm glad that some of friends actually remembered my birthday, whether it is because of facebook notification or simply that they really did remember! And so, I am a year older!

My birthday cake! (Count the number of candies to know my age!)

Present given by my siblings! (Wonder what it is? Look below!)

Ta da! A set of 24 different colour pencils with an additional brush!

That's all for now! Seems like today is my last day of break after my exams! Kind of sad but it's time to start schooling all over before I get rusty! With that I'll end off with a little video on a great song one should download!
