Part 2 special: MGLN Innocent_DUEL 08 Review

Without much to say, here's the chapter review! Enjoy!

Fate's kawai smile!- I think I just melt from seeing this!(Insert fan girls' screams...) Glad to see Fate smiling more and even brighter in this AU!

I've a feeling that Alicia is coming up with something...Just realised this is Alicia being seen in her uniform(?)

Yunno in his Ferret form!- Seems like in this AU, animals can talk even though magic does not exist in real world...

The arrival of the...Chibi gang! Chivi and Chibi Yuri flying in front with Petit lord behind! (So Kawai!)

'Mission accomplished! Ferret Yunno captured completed!'  

Introducing Yuri with Steyn the cat!

The chibi gang sure is cute! Haha poor Yunno!

Next comes Linith! Not in her familiar form which I prefer more!  

Moving on, we have Precia and Fate bonding time! Wish this Precia was in the original storyline!

If only Precia was this caring in the original story then she wouldn't have so many haters...Though my hate for her grew to sympathy after watching MGLN Movie First...

Nice PreciaXFate bonding time before the 'husband' Lindy comes to get Precia for something...PreciaXLindy! Though wonder where is Chrono...Not going to appear?

Back to some disscussion...Look closely at Fate and Alicia at this picture...

And at this picture too...

It would seem that Fate and Alicia are wearing the same outfit but in different colours! Twins are really just amazing alike in so many ways! A bit of NanoFate moment...
Overall, this chapter should be about coming up with a team name for something(a competition or a tournament?) since the title is 'team name'. Some intro to characters like Yuri, the chibi gang... The best part is the PreciaXFate Mother and Daughter bonding time!-Wish this actually happen in the original story though if the story wouldn't come into play...

Note to all readers: the pictures posted are not the full chapter since I mentioned previously that I'll only upload those significant(in my opinion) parts so if you think the pictures are not in order, it is not an error because I didn't upload them...Also, if any of my comments posted sounded wrong or anything, it is cos I can't read japanese; I'm commenting based on the pictures... 

With that, this is the end of the 2-parts special! Hope all like it! Till then, ciao~

Part 1 special: MGLN Vivid_Memory 50 Review

As promised, this is part 1 of the 2-parts special! Enjoy!

Chapter cover, featuring Einhart and Seiglinde together (I think this is another possible pairing though I support VivioXEinhart more...)

Fight between Lutecia and Fabia starts though it is kind of one-sided...(Lutecia's smile sure is creepy-Mental note: never mess with Lutecia cos...)

She'll bash you and before you knew it...

It's over with Fabia being binded up...Didn't know Lutecia ia this strong! She didn't even put on her barrier jacket...

We move on to see the situation with Victoria and Corona plus the other captured girls...Seems like the attack by Luctecia on Fabia, had somewhat stopped those black mob attacks...However, that is far from over...

Because at this time, if you let your guard down...

You would get caught in those explosion...Hope Victoria and Corona plus the other captured girls are fine...

Seems like Fabia has an adult mode too...(I think this 'adult mode' thing is kind of the new trend in this manga... So far, we've Vivio, Einhart, Rio with that mode and now...Fabia too?!!! Though I must say, there's not much change in her look except her overgrown chest...)

Lutercia in a pinch!!! Is this the end?

Fear not, Einhart to the rescue! Like a knight in shining armour!

From the back, "this is the payback for making me naked!"

"Take this! FALCON PUNCH!"  

Here we see Seig, still in child form...Not sure if this Fabia's spell or she like the others, have that 'adult mode' thing...

Feeling not so good for both Sieg and Fabia though Fabia looks weird cos...

I'm sure she was going to faint but somehow found the energy to 'stand' up again and fight... Though the odds are two; Vivio and Einhart against one; Fabia...
To sum up, this chapter showcased Lutercia's magical combat skills and introduction to Fabia's adult mode...Though I can't help but stressed that fights in a library is a BIG NO NO! Look at all the books being destroyed in the process of those fights...Hope this magical library has some back-up or magic that could undo all damages done to those poor books... Wonder if Yunno will get upset when he sees this... Hope Hayate and Nove come soon to help since Fabia's mob and herself are proving to be a little problem to the girls...What is the fate of those girls?-Find out in the next chapter!(Though I may not be uploading...)

Note to all readers: the pictures posted are not the full chapter since I mentioned previously that I'll only upload those significant(in my opinion) parts so if you think the pictures are not in order, it is not an error because I didn't upload them...Also, if any of my comments posted sounded wrong or anything, it is cos I can't read japanese; I'm commenting based on the pictures...   

With that, this is the end of the first part! Look forward to the next part that I'll be uploading soon! Till then, ciao~

Time management problem and 2 parts special!

Hello there, it's been a while since I last blogged, given the exams I have after the long June break... Yesterday (sort of) marked my last SA2 paper. In a way, I am taking this time off to reflect a bit... As the title suggested, I'm reflecting on my time management problem or my ability to think far... First step is always to plan a study plan and that what's I did before the holidays... However...As much as one planned a plan, whether he can carry it out, is another thing... There's the phase that said, action speaks louder than words- I can't agree more to that phrase... Thinking the long break is enough but how wrong I was and everything planned didn't go right... Sometimes, the plan planned may not go the way the planner wants; it is just like life with its ups and downs along the way... Because of my lousy planning skills, one of my SA2 paper is going to suffer... Sigh... (This is so screwed up...)

Enough about the gloomy part! Time for some updates! Recently, I found out that one of the bookstores I went to, does import the japanese magazine, コンプエース! The best part is that, on the week the newest edition came out, there was a 20% off! I decided to buy it and like the last few previous posts, I am spliting my uploads into 2 parts; first part will be MGLN Vivid: Memory 50 and Second part on MGLN Innocent: DUEL 08! After uploading once, I think I will just post the more significent(in my opinion) parts of the chapter than the full chapter...(it's actually quite time consuming and tedious, especially the taking-photos part...) Without further ado... Some intro:

Cover of コンプエース 2013 08月号 which comes with a free gift of MGLN innocent fan!

Back cover of コンプエース 2013 08月号; seems like WS cards for Certain Railgun S are coming out!

Cover of the free gift, MGLN innocent Fan

MGLN innocent Fan(not opened yet...)

MGLN innocent Fan, featuring Fate, Nanoha and Alicia!


 With that, look forward to the 2 parts special and maybe late in this week, I am going to post some one shot manga I did while being bored from studying...Heh heh...Signing off now!

The Reality and Reflection towards a certain argument...+Project B-day done!

Once again, I am back blogging. This week, 10/6-14/6, had been an interesting and fun week. First, I could met with my friends again after our last meet which was during last year christmas. Next, Project B-Day that I was busy doing, had finally completed. (You can see it at the end of the post!^^) Lastly, I went out with my family today! In a way, my week had been fun and all! However, that will have to stop... As much as I love the fun and enjoyment, the reality is still there; my progress of studies is not going well... That's why I intend to smug tonight till next morning- Well, that was my intention at first until... I found myself barely able to open my eyes, let alone think... Sigh... I think my family outing worn me out a lot... Even so, I don't feel regret much since I managed to get what I planned to be done and that is Project B-Day! My sibling scolded me for putting so much effort for this project despite it being for someone else and not myself... To me, maybe it is quite an effort I put in but whether that effort paid off, is another thing... That's why even though I studied very hard, if I could not get the results...Then what is the point in putting so much effort in the first place? Just hope my friend likes the gift I am going to give her in a few months... With that, I think I will end off soon, keeping this post short and all... I think after this week, I need to get serious and smug like crazy; I am really behind my study plan... 

Oh yeah, something to add on. (just remembered...) It would seem that a little argument occurred between my sibling and I... It all started due to the fact that I was saying I did not want to have dinner since I was full (I was saying the truth, not lying at all), and wanted to get home fast too to study...(Played too much...) Then, my sibling kind of got angry that I was being a weirdo, always saying I am full when in reality I am really... She went on, ranting how my behaviour is also similar to my daily life, always not eating and don't seem to be losing weight at all, blah, blah... Well, if there's no output nor input, then of course I would not lose any weight. Btw, I don't eat because I am really full and not on diet... Seriously, I got so annoyed and I became quiet throughout dinner and the ride home... I know my reaction towards this incident was childish but I can't help it; it is like being accused of something that you did not do, the injustice I felt... Sigh, before this turns into a complaining session, I better end here... Somehow, I think I still can't stand up for myself yet and just accept it when in truth, I really feel like proving my point out...  

A showcase of my Project B-Day as promised:







Here's the artwork I used to printed on the shirt:


Sorry to all if the artwork sucks... And also, sorry to the two characters I drawn, Fate and Nanoha for my bad drawing and colouring skills... I will be posting this and the non-coloured piece on deviantart. My deviantart account is shade1995

Before I end off, I like to introduce a nice OST from Devil Survivior 2 The Animation that was played in episode 10! It was a nice piece! Enjoy! (Spoiler for those who have not watched which include me... If you don't want to get spoiled, just listen to the song and don't watch the video...)

Till then, ciao~

Dinner with Sec Sch Friends, new experiences and...Project B-Day!

It's been a while since I blogged. Today, I had dinner together with my Secondary School friends. (Yes, friends...I finally came to terms that they are true friends who I could rely on; I was too negative that my definition or rather expectations for friends are too extreme and unreasonable...) The dinner may be a bit expensive but it is worth it since it's been some time since I met up with them. I am still awkward with them and have my reservations in talking to them since I have to watch my words as compared to another friend of mine whom I could talk with more ease and she would listen.-It's like having a listening ear by your side whenever you need help or just need to voice out something...Even so, I am still a shy person so I still bottled up my feelings and all...Most of the time, those feelings are either voiced out in my blog or in my stories which are still on hold due to my examinations...(Reassure! Once I am free from the clutches of exams, I will start writing and get busy with it!-Can't wait for it!^^) Okay, I think I am rambling too much now; let's get back on track.

Today was quite an eye opener for me since I experienced 2 scary incidents which to many, they would just plainly stated 'it happened b'cos I was dumb...' First incident... On my way to the meeting place, a 'friendly' guy came up to me and talked to me so quickly that I could not make up much what he was saying but one thing was for sure... He's there to ask me to buy some pens for donation purposes... Being a kind soul, I always felt bad rejecting people and went ahead to buy the pens to support whatever donation organisation it was... Later, after the dinner, I went to buy what my siblings requested and got separted from my friends... Before I knew it, I was dragged to a beauty store that at first, was gving out free samples...I was in a daze as my friend called me and I did not pick up... Then this lady just passed me the sample and before knew it, she 'invited' me to the beauty store to 'teach' me how to use when in actual fact, she was just trying to sell off her products... Again, being the kind soul, I felt hard to reject but still held on too my decision of not buying... After much declining the lady's offer, she finally let go and boy was I relieved! This just showed how naive I was of the outside world... In a way, it was a gd experience but scary at first...It was like I just stepped into a lion den and barely came out alive...(Okay, maybe I am exaggerating too much but it really felt that way to me...I think I will think twice in accepting any offers to me from now on...) And now, you will just say I must be a dumb person now...Sigh...

Enough of the gloomy stuff, I had started a new project; Project B-Day. It is actually a self-made present for my friend which is... DRUMROLL, please! A T-shirt! (Hey! Don't give that face!) You may be thinking a T-shirt is nothing special but... It will be a shirt with my artwork on! The problem is whether she will like it.-A very big problem whenever I was doing a DIY present... Nonetheless, with the support of my family, I pushed on and YES! The artwork is finally done though it is still in the midst of being coloured... Here's a small peek at it!


Before colouring...

After colouring a bit here and there...(Not done though...)
If you do watch MGLN, you would know the two girls! To be frank...I actually liked Fate with her hair down and not tied up while Nanoha should tie her hair up instead...But, to be fair, I decided to have both their hairs down... As you can see the colouring wasn't good since I screwed up in choosing the colouring for the characters and the clothing, especially Nanoha's hair...(Sorry Nanoha...) As an artist, sometimes, I felt bad when drawing a character badly that is not mine...It is like doing injustice to both the creator and the character him or herself... Even so, I pressed on and tried to do what I can to finish it before Friday... (Once done, I will post it to my deviantart account!^^)

Well then, that's about it I guessed... I think today could be said to be both a gd experience and that maybe it was meant for me to experience the true nature of the world! Also, I met my classmate on the way and I think maybe it wasn't such a bad day after all with my classmate's encouraging towards SA2! And with that, I end here! Till next time, signing off! Ciao~
