I started on Harutoki4 and I'm enjoying it so far, even if I don't really understand 50% of what's going on even if my Japanese understanding has improved from the time I played Haruka3 (which reminds me, I still need to finish up Atsumori's story). I've played it until after you meet Ashvin in chapter 1 and here are some thoughts:

Story pacing: So far it's good, it doesn't feel as if there are any awkward pauses. Probably because of the whole RPG-like feel? At least I'm not falling asleep pressing the 'O' button thanks to the voiced parts... for now.

3D/Character sprites: It's a big jump from the 2D Harutoki3, and the detailing for everything is pretty good. And the backgrounds! I go all sparkly-eyed at them. There are some parts that annoy me though, like the character movement on the field which isn't all too fluid. I do however like the character sprites and their expressions at the sides (SO MADE OUT OF WIN) when they're having a conversation.

Battles: It's quite challenging this time, because you have absolutely NO control over your Hachiyou AND you can only attack one monster (the one that's in front of you). Which is why I'm quite glad that Chihiro can learn the ability to heal, or else you'd be a dead duck in the later chapters when monsters get stronger. Collecting the megumi this time round is really hard though, because from what I read in forums, you can only get certain types of megumi when you unlock certain characters' kokoro no tenbin. I just hope that the battles won't get too me too much, even if I am used to all that Megaten grinding (MOAR POWER ROCKS 8D).

Music: WAH. It's so different this time! It's gotta completely different feel and I'm not dissapointed in it at all.

Also this time you'll have to rely heavily on your memo (R1) to find out what to do for a character, and because my TV is dying and all the kanji hurts my eyes, I'm going to have one hell of a time playing this game. T^T

I'll resume playing after I've done some more assignments...

 

Hello everybody~! :D


I finally opened this weekend my
newly built Vampire Knight fansite!

Here's a link for whoever may be interested. :D


And since I couldn't open a site without drawing new piccies to
put in it, there's a some new fanarts to look at, this way. :D


Preview:


Puppeteer Yuuki with her toys this way. (Rated safe for all ages.

Preview:


Zero x Kaname blood drinking this way. PG13 for partial nudity & position.


In the same post there are also some icons I made with one of the new pics. :)


And lastly, I wanted to show you a Kaname piccie I did for the new site. X3
It's a modification of a pic I drew before, so you might already have seen the original
if you saw my previous posts, but I like how this version turned out, and so here it is.



It's a smallish pic, so I'm thinking it's okay to leave out of the cut... ^^;
The community rules didn't specify what sizes were okay, so I wasn't sure. ^^;
Mods, if it's too big, just let me know and I shall put it under a cut. :D

 

Hi! I'm new to this manga/anime and the community. I've been watching the anime on youtube for the past week (I haven't finished all the episodes yet). I love it. I put the manga volumes on my birthday list, but my mom said that she was getting a Wii for us (my twin and I), so we wouldn't get many other presents. I didn't have much hope for getting the volumes. Today was the big day- My aunt gave me a bag, and inside were the four volumes! I was so excited, and I was staring at the covers for a while. So pretty :D I love the art.

Looking forward to finishing the anime episodes and reading the manga!

Okay, one thing. Maybe two. First thing:

What's wrong with Suzuki Chihiro that when he voices a high schooler, he sounds more childish than when he's voicing a middle schooler? Or maybe he doesn't and I'm sleepy. 3:37 AM and I'm watching gaysball and now going to wonder if he really sounds more childish or I've imagined that and it's a great waste of brain cells.. All three are going to pay >_< *slaps suzuki, sakaeguchi and kamio*

It would be better if I actually knew the rules of baseball.. explain please if you know? ;.; Okay, I know that the only thing I need to know is that in this show gayness radiates like Chernobyl..

I RLY LIEKZ THE TWO OUTS SIGN YANNO

I just got the Haruka3 DVD Limited Edition package and planned to upload all the goodies.

There's an video with ONLY Inoue Kazuhiko (井上和彦) in it, title "Anime Paradice #734" (アニメぱらだいす！#734), Inoue came out as a guest.

Since I am not too much a Inoue fan, I was not going to post the video, but if you are one and you want the video, please leave a comment following this post.  I will post the video with other goodies if there are 10 or more people response...

アイシールド２１の蛭魔のせいに、最近彼の声優”田村淳”がすごい気にした。

そして、淳のパラエティ番組”ロンドン”が大好きになった！！

ロンドンハーが本当に面白い！！それに、淳が本当にかわいくと思う～～！蛭魔との印象が全然違う。

私は日本にいないから、その番組”ロンドン・ハーツ”が日本の中で人気が一体どうですかと知りたいです！！

日本にいる皆さん、もしこの質問の答えを知れば、教えてください！！

ありがとう！

You know, I think that excluding the previous post, the last time I filled in the "current music" line was on the 24th of May. I just rarely listen to music when using the computer, I prefer abusing portable players at other places..

Anyways, I'm bored, are you bored as well? If you are, then you'll play

ARU'S MUSIC GAME :D

You may remeber me talking about the Tenipuri music game that I was going to create, this is still up to date, I'll do it when I get better internets, but this is not it. It's the music game I prepared for school a few months ago. Thirty song snippets, each roughly 30 seconds long. Mostly old songs because I wanted to see that "SHIT, I know this but I have no idea what it's called! D: D: D:" look on my classmates' faces. Some songs were put there with specific classmates in mind, but all of them are pretty well-known, no obscure songs put into this just for one person.

First, here's the snippet pack, it's 13,9 mb. Download, listen and guess (comments screened) :D Artist and title, so every song can give you two points. When we did it at school, the best score was fourty something and it was our teacher (it was easy for her.. most of these songs are from the days when she was young). Most people had around 30. Can you do better than my classmates? :3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, shikanashi_kk!!!!!111one \O/ \O/ \O/ \O/ ♥♥♥

Sorry, no cut, KK is too awesome for it >>; (I HAZ U SPARKLIES! \O/ ♥)

It's still Saturday here, but who cares.. And I'm really sorry for not being online earlier, had to do house stuff and other uncool things D:

Yay broken text XD;

Hey, everyone!

I just wanted to share the music from the Angelique Trois video game. There are no officially released soundtracks for the game, so I personally ripped each and every track from the game, gave them my own titles, and arranged them in a way that I thought worked well. The sound quality is practically perfect from ripping it directly through my sound card, so don't think I recorded it with a microphone or anything. Although I've noticed after re-listening to it that after converting the .wav files to mp3's the sound glitches occasionally in a few songs. Feel free to download it if you're interested, and let me know if I need to re-upload it or anything!

Oh, and, yes, some of the titles I chose are a bit cheesy, but what Angelique album would be complete without cheesy song titles? Example: Simple Dimple Smile. Haha I love them, but, boy, are they cheesy.

I want some of the crack Chinen is on. I really want some.
Also, what is with Higa and songs about food? O_O

Oh purple. You continue to fry my brain even though I don't have it anymore.

Dear Vampire knight community. I apologize for posting up some very upsetting information ( a spoiler). This caused a very big uproar and I will not make the same mistake twice. Please forgive me.

Thanks a lot everyone! You guys are awesome! ^_^

God, Germany has pretty much loltastic TV shows XDD;;; (last week in Turkey, we happened to be watching someting loltastic in German TV, aunt said that she knows that show and would like me to watch with her next week, next week is today XD) Or maybe it's music of 80' that is truly loltastic? I don't know but Marzena says that next week will have party hits and she wants me to watch with her XD; Well, Country Roads in the preview - I have a feeling that it will be loltastic XD;

And it seems that we'll be going to Hamburg on Monday and not Sunday because of some family gathering.. piccu, I'll let you know when I'm there so we can talk about the details :D

Gotta go now, Marzena wants to sleep as she has to wake up at 5AM and go back home..

Today was a pretty good day! My idea for our final project got approved, and thus I will be illustrating a picture for HARUTOKI4. *PIKAS* 8DDDDDDD

So I will probably be drawing a Tooya/Chihiro picture BUT THE PROBLEM IS. I have no idea what Tooya's character personality is like because I have no time to play the game or rush it at the moment... So to those who have played, what's Tooya like? DDDD8

this is probably a good excuse for me to get started though

If not I'll probably just illustrate Hinoe/Nozomi or Benkei/Nozomi since my lecturer probably can't tell the difference between all these multi-colour haired people lol 8DDDD
