My Website got Hacked

And I, like, haven't noticed that since a month ago *facepalm*

Oh well, I didn't really have much use for the website anyway. Welp

I just finished fixing it of course, so now it's working again. Nothing new has been added yet but I plan to do a whole makeover for when I have to insert "Do Not Stay Outside After Maghrib" page. Maybe next time I'll put a more lively theme. Black is pretty depressing =v=;;

Getting idiotically hacked aside, I haven't written anything in what felt like forever.

(Well, I don't have a reader anyway)

I have a reason for that though!

I moved houses! And so there were some problems getting the internet back. It was really tough but turns out there wasn't much expecting me when I finally had the internet.

UPDATES! On my life~

Spring 2012 anime has started!!!!

Other than Hyouka, I started watching Kuroko no Basuke~

 As always, the main guy falls straight into this little 2D part in my heart.

I even went to read the manga up until the recent release in MangaFox. It was pretty interesting. The animation was pretty good in my opinion and I'm really looking forward to the next part.

Hyadain's also singing the ED. I was surprised ^^ but I love it even before I knew that.

Ah, yeah, Kimi to boku came with a new season~ It's always nice to be able to hear Shun-chan's voice again.

Speaking of Shun-chan,

This here is Matsuoka Ginger ( 松岡ジンジャー)

It's named after the first impression I had of the colour of his fur. This is also my first possession that I've given a family name (I feel retarded suddenly. Welp)

I'll take a higher resolution picture of him later. I only got a webcam now.

I received him the morning when I arrived at my hometown. It's a pleasant surprise really. It's cute, fluffy, soft and smells nice. It really, really smells nice. I can just bury my face in it lots of time.

I haven't figured out a good blog nickname for the giver but thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

I can't wait to bring him home and introduce him to Hanatamago

Other than that, I've recently gotten into reading Dean Koontz's novels. I'm on my way through my fourth novel by him titled 'Life Expectations'. That's one hell of a funny book.

The first book I read by him was 'From the Corner of His Eyes.' It was recommended by Aneki.

I INSTANTLY fell in love with his beautiful and captivating writing.

The 2nd one was a book I bought from Popular bookstore called 'What the Night Knows.' aksdjsjkdh that book is indescribable. I was on edge reading that. Very nicely written, I'd recommend it to people who love horror and supernatural stories.

Aneki borrowed 3 books from her lecturer; 'The Husband', 'Life Expectation' and 'Sole Survivor'. I've finished the first one (Absolutely in awe of it btw) and hoping to start reading the last one soon.

Just in case anyone would like to know what I want for my birthday, a Dean Koontz novel would be REALLY nice. I will love you so much you will get tired of it. They don't sell his novels at Kinokuniya (WHICH IS A BIG DAMN SHAME BTW) so I'm outta ideas where to get more of his works.

Shhhh I dunno how internet transactions work

Let's see...

I'm still in the process of finishing my final project so I can't get into a lot of other things.

Other things I got into was Markiplier's 'Let's Play's on YT. I was looking for reaction videos of Penumbra and Amnesia when I found him. It's interesting and addictive to watch him play. Currently, I'm mostly just listening since I've to do my final project but it's interesting all the same.

I also got back into reading Noblesse. Damn, Rai made me cry hard in one of the recent chapters.

As for my project,

it's going kind of not so well.

I'll fix it somehow.

The 80 percent Meme

Click for better view


In which "If you know 80% of these characters, then you're my friend" is how it goes...or so they say.


It was fun when I posted it on Deviantart and people guessed it.
Everyone even got their guesses right! I'm so happy~


Since I've already posted the answers on DA, so here it is (from left to right):

Sakata Gintoki from Gintama (c) Hideaki Sorachi
Shion/Sion from No. 6 (c) Atsuko Asano
Natsume Takashi from Natsume Yuujinchou (c) Midorikawa Yuki
Sawa Rakan from Silver Diamond (c) Shiho Sugiura
Ryuugamine Mikado from Durarara!! (c) Ryohgo Narita
North Italy from Hetalia (c) Himaruya Hidekaz
Sawada Tsunayoshi from Katekyo Hitman Reborn (c) Amano Akira
Okumura Rin from Ao no Exorcist (c) Kazue Kato
Takanashi Souta from Wagnaria/Working! (c) Karino Takatsu
Sanada Yukimura Gakuen Basara-version (c) ???

In the end, no one managed to guess No.4 due to the fandom being quite small (seeing as the series has yet to be animated) but someone did manage to guess 9 of them right even though they named two only by series. 
It made me really happy because it means that my drawings are recognizable enough. I've seen a few others who also did this meme and some of them, when I looked at the answers, I was like 'o rly?' since I knew the character but could not recognize it. It's mostly due to the artist's style but...meh.


I chose to go with a 'sleep' theme, as you can see. It was fun coming up with their different poses. I tried to add an external feature that would help make them more recognizable. Like Gintoki's sword, Mikado's handphone, Tsuna's pet and Natsume's book of friends.


I'd like to try something like this again in the future
^^

I Want to Watch Lots of Stuff

If I had to blame someone for getting me into watching all these online series,

I'd blame Anis-chan.

but she's so sweet and cute and I can't

so let's not blame anyone.

Sshhhh you didn't read the first line.

Rest assured.

Anyway, I'm, like, getting into the hang of following an anime series online.

I first started with AoEx (yep, it's that recent)

I think I was up to episode 2 or 3 when I first started it.

And now.

Now...

The list of animes I'm following/ have followed:

- Ao no Exorcist

- Gintama

- Tiger and Bunny

- Usagi Drops

- Sket Dance

- No.6

- San Natsume Yuujinchou

- Ano Hana (though this one a bit late so I'm planning on just buying the DVD)

- Blood-C

So many series, so little internet

OTL

ZETSUBOUSHITAAAAA

That aside, look what's in the preview of the coming No.6's episode!

I don't even-

No. 6

SO THERE'S THIS ANIME I'M CURRENTLY INTO

LIKE AKJLAHSHFJDFSDFS

IMPORTANT NOTICE: WILL FANGIRL FOR A WHOLE SEASON. DO NOT APPROACH UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.

alskjfaksjglad

I don't even know why it's all in caps. Tumblr must be rubbing off on me.

THAT ASIDE!

So, like, these two are obviously the main characters and episode 1 shows their meeting etc.

The one with brown hair is Sion while the one with blue hair (and supposedly gray eyes) is Nezumi(Rat)

The OP plays and you see those two as above.

Then you see these two:

And I'm like "Who the fuck are these two and why do they remind me of a pair of exorcists?"

It's obvious though that they're just grown-up version of those 2 kids.

and then....

I do a double take

And here I'm thinkin' 'That you, Sion? Your hair's a bit off.'

Course' it is. It's effing WHITE.

But, like, y'know, coming episodes are gonna explain what shit dropped to make his hair turn white.

So, yeah, let's leave it to later

And since it'd be really fun if you just went and watched the story, yourself, we'll just cut to my favourite scene:

This is the "Why'd you decide to help me" answer.

And Nezumi doesn't get mad.

Maybe it's cuz he knows puberty is gonna hit him better than it does to Sion.

AND HE'S NOT THAT TINY.

But he is undeniably girly.

At least for now.

AND THEN.

EPISODE 2 HAPPENED

They do a 4 year time skip.

Sion got kicked off his high horse because he saved Nezumi and works as a cleaner not really, but still

Everything is clean and nothing hurts.

Except that time Sion decided to suspect the government and they try to take him to a correctional facility.

GUESS WHO CAME TO RESCUE HIM?

C'mon, c'mon

guess~

4-years-later!Nezumi

And his hair! I like his hair! I want to know how to tie my hair like that!

Then I wouldn't have to keep hairbands

Action stuff happens that I can probably watch 100 times but never get tired off!

And next week~!

Noses will bleed...

All in all.

This probably sums up the whole 2 episodes:

It's creepy, I know.

I Went Through a Bleach-manga Marathon

I think I went around mentioning that I left Bleach for a year.
Haha It's kind of embarrassing.
But I've caught up! Somewhat at least...I've still got 7-8 chapters more
This year I started watching Bleach anime again (I remember posting a few screencaps of them here) and I was really, really curious about this image I saw of a long and black haired Ichigo with all these dark bandages.
(And I saw tons of spoilers on Tumblr...)
It wasn't until I saw this one page of Bleach manga on Tumblr that said:

Kurosaki Ichigo/Age 17
Hair/Orange
Eyes/Brown
Occupation/High School Student

HE CANNOT SEE GHOSTS.

that made me go, "what the...."
I was really curious and I know I don't have enough episodes to catch up (especially with all the fillers and whatnot)
So I finally decided to give the manga a try
I actually do prefer the manga over anime anytime but considering internet connection and all...
but now that I'm home so I decided to take advantage of the wireless!
My Bleach manga-marathon went over 3 days but only because I have a life outside of animanga
contrary to popular belief.


I read from chapter 350 until chapter 441...
and when you consider that 1 chapter contains between 18-20 pages per chapter...hmmm


There were a lot of scenes that I really couldn't help but love! So that's why I compiled all these for the fun of it~
It doesn't make sense unless you have read it though ^^;

It's really nice to see so much trust placed on Ichigo. I'll never get tired of it especially when it's done by people with so much pride like Byakuya
About the part with Tousen, I was really distrustful of him even when he was weak and Captain Komamura was talking to him. It was sweet that he wanted to see Hisagi's face in his final moments. When that bastard Aizen killed him, I really wished it had happened.
Damn you, Aizen

Kubo-sensei, that looked like fanservice or something...
I'm totally in love with how Kubo Tite (the kanji is actually Kubo Taito but that doesn't matter) introduces the chapter titles~ It's so creative.
Oh! But that's not the only reason why I like this part. When Hirako said "This fight belongs to all of us." It reminded me a lot of how Aizen's betrayal affected each one of them, regardless if it was personally or not.
It's like, they're fighting for revenge and to defeat an evil force. Most importantly, to protect.
I dunno. I think too much into it most of the time (it helps get me into the tense atmosphere)

Soi Fon's one of those assholes you gotta love :D
The part with Isshin was mostly because I've been expecting him and go**am*** what took you so f***ing long, old man?!

Your love for your son is showing so much, Isshin. *sarcasm*
I wish Ichigo didn't say what he did. I really wanted to know what the deal was with Isshin.
Why is he a shinigami? Why was he allowed to live a human life after he lost his powers? Did he die before becoming a shinigami or was he like Ichigo? How old is he really? What's his affiliation with Urahara? With soul society? Why is he so strong? (He fought on par with Aizen for a bit) Who is he?
I think it's going to be answered in the newest arc, but I believe it'll take some time.

Home is where the heart is~
The part with Gin had me laughing despite the serious atmosphere (but really, I don't think I can stop being amused by Gin's face. I have this urge to laugh whenever I see him, scary or not) You're definitely one to talk, Gin, but I believe I can somehow feel why he'd say that to Ichigo. I think, rather than creepy, to him, Ichigo is scary in the sense that the guy can read another's intentions and emotions from his battles. I feel that maybe, he was just a bit scared that Ichigo might find out about his hatred for Aizen from his sword.
The last bit with Aizen:
DUDE, CAN YOU GET ANY CREEPIER?
That's just not normal, man!

One of the things I feel is always worth facepalming about is how easy it is to waver and brainwash Ichigo. Someone should teach him to keep a stronger will that fucking lasts
then again...it might just be his charm *rolls eyes*

More trust in Ichigo <3 aldkhalsdhglakhsdfls Tensa Zangetsu is so adorable~~ Scary, yes, but so cute! 
Okay, so around this time, my eyes are already watering because I've already read and seen the spoilers, like I said above. It wasn't hard to put two and two together especially when it had been shown that his father shares the same technique as Ichigo and that he had, until recently, lost his powers. When Zangetsu said, "What you want to protect is not what I want to protect...!" I kind of sobbed a bit.

I didn't realize AT ALL that Keigo and Mizuiro weren't close. I know from the episodes that Mizuiro doesn't give Keigo much damn but I didn't realize that about the only thing that is keeping them acquinted was Ichigo.
It's....It's kind of sad...yet cool. For Ichigo at least.

When I first saw Keigo with a zanpakutou, I was like, "askjfhsdfcdsfjk don't tell me he's secretly a shinigami!"
Of course he is not. Damn. But I definitely like that idea haha~
The part with Chizuru made me realize that it was good that the three of them - at least - had realized Ichigo's secret. It would have been bad otherwise.
Actually I felt something deeper but I'm already a dork enough without having to add my 2-cents about it.

MIZUIRO SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THIS FUCKING COOL?!
That was totally unexpected. I knew he was cool-headed but nothing to that extent
I'm seeing him in new light 0A0

I think I can say it here now.
I always had a suspicion that Gin wasn't loyal to Aizen. Maybe it's just how he interacts with them all or the way he carries himself. I dunno. I can see that he doesn't care much for Soul Society but I always felt his loyalty was not with Aizen.
but it's no use saying it now. Not like anyone is gonna believe me >.>
and w00t! More faith in Ichigo~ Go Ichigo~!
Plus, Ichigo with longer hair is so fu- I mean, cool. Yeah.

Ichigo being bad-ass <3 Oh, and Aizen cracked the moment he talks too much. His words are so confusing and so self-absorbed. I kind of wish Ichigo was cold-hearted or brave enough to split his head open and kill him there and then. No one seems to die in Bleach, I wouldn't have minded much if Aizen did! 
I mean, Ichigo gave up his shinigami powers just so Aizen could get locked up? That sucks.

My tears.
TTATT
Seeing Zangetsu cry (in that adorable form to boot) will always tug at my heartstrings.
I hate farewells! Why can't you say 'see you later'? It's a fuckin' prayer! ;A;

Kyouraku's Face.
omgwtflol
Byakuya's such an amusing bastard. He'll never cease to amuse me.
Relax there, Yama-jii, you'll burst a vein HAHAHA
Points for Kyouraku though since he said the haori is stylish
Love Zaraki's reason though. It does look like a pain in the ass.
Eavesdropping!Ukitake is cute

My tears.
They now double.
;A;
Rukia, you better have something to do in the next arc! You can't leave Bleach like that! Especially since you're the first character Kubo Tite drew for this series.
I've been reading a lot of bashing from fangirls who hate Rukia and Orihime. It saddens me. Those two are Ichigo's source of determination and although they sometimes can't help being damsels, they are still strong in their own right.

Click to view larger
So, a new arc begins with the setting being 1 year and 5 months after Aizen's defeat. Ichigo is leading a normal life and everyone has new hairstyles.
Ichigo fucking has sideburns~ It's so badass, man. (I hope he doesn't let them grow into a goatee. The horror!)
Yuzu is cuter and taller while Karin has boobs. Hahaha~ I wonder if she still plays soccer.
Eh...Sado is um...well...I'm not much into shaggy-looks but I guess it might just be his blood ^^;
Ishida decided to part his hair differently and tuck his hair behind his ear. hhhhhnnngg one of my kinks y'know
Orihime looks more mature and I absolutely love the new hairstyle. She's still much in love with Ichigo (hard not to be) and Ichigo's still as oblivious as ever (the lucky guy)
Keigo just let his hair longer. That's about it, I think. It makes him look cooler though but his personality is still...
Mizuiro, for a moment I couldn't recognize you at all! Haha~ it's not too bad a haircut but I totally hadn't expected that ^^;
Tatsuki just grew a tail lol
Jinta got taller~
Ururu grew cuter~


I love all the new changes~ (w-well maybe less for Sado but...) I can't wait to finish catching up
and that's all from this crazy and absurd fangirl!
Anyone who actually read up to here is just. So. Fucking. Amazing. Not gonna lie.

Camera Shot

Since sensei ended up actually forgetting about me Camera Shots presentation, I think I'll leave it here. I worked quite hard on it as well.

Introduction
A camera shot is the amount of space that is seen in one shot or frame. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of a film's setting, characters and themes. As a result, camera shots are very important in shaping meaning in a film.

Extreme Wide Shot

An extreme wide shot contains a large amount of landscape. It is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film to establish general location (setting). This is also known as an establishing shot.
Other examples:

Very Wide Shot

A very wide shot contains landscape but gives the viewer a more specific idea of setting. A long shot may show the viewers the building where the action will take place.
Other examples:

Wide Shot

A wide shot contains a complete view of the characters. From this shot, viewers can take in the costumes of characters and may also help to demonstrate the relationships between characters.
Other examples:

Mid Shot

A mid shot contains the characters or a character from the waist up. From this shot, viewers can see the characters' faces more clearly as well as their interaction with other characters. This is also known as a social shot.
Other examples:

Medium Close Up

A medium close-up contains the subject in more detail and are often framed from just below the shoulders to the top of the head.
Other examples:

Close Up

A close-up contains just one character's face. This enables viewers to understand the actor's emotions and also allows them to feel empathy for the character. This is also known as a personal shot.
Other examples:

Extreme Close Up

An extreme close-up contains one part of a character's face or other object. This technique is quite common in horror films. This type of shot creates an intense mood and provides interaction between the audience and the viewer.
Other examples:

Two Shot

A two-shot contains a shot of two people (or other individuals) together, framed similarly to mid shot.
Other examples:

Over the Shoulder

An over the shoulder contains a shot from behind the person towards their subject. Generally the frame is cut off just behind the ear, although there are several variations. A good technique to use to get this shot is to frame the person facing the subject with about one third of the frame.
Other examples:

Point of View

A point of view is an effective shot that gives the audience the feel that you’re seeing it from the eyes of the performer.  It is taken from near the eye-level of the actor and shows what he might see.  It could be used to give the perspective of other animals too like a frog, a bird, or a fish.
For example:

Bird’s Eye View

A bird’s eye view is a camera angle that looks down upon a subject. A character shot with a high angle will look vulnerable or small. These angles are often used to demonstrate to the audience a perspective of a particular character.
Other examples:

Eye-level View

An eye-level angle puts the audience on an equal footing with the character/s. This is the most commonly used angle in most films as it allows the viewers to feel comfortable with the characters.
Other examples:

Worm’s Eye View

A worm’s eye view is a camera angle that looks up at a character. This is the opposite of bird’s eye view and makes a character look more powerful. This can make the audience feel vulnerable and small by looking up at the character. This can help the responder feel empathy if they are viewing the frame from another character's point of view.
Other examples:

Selective Focus

By using a large aperture value (f/1.4, f/2.0) you will be able to create a shallow depth of field.  This effectively leaves one part of the frame in focus while blurring others, such as the foreground or background.  When you change the focus in the shot from the foreground to the background you’re doing another advanced camera shot called a rack focus.
Other examples:

Cut In

A cut-in refers to showing some part of the subject in detail. Can be used purely as an edit point or to emphasize emotion etc. For example, hand movements can show enthusiasm, agitation, nervousness etc.
Other examples:

Weather Shot

Although the usual purpose of this shot is to show the weather, it is also useful as an establishing shot, for setting the general mood or for overlaying graphics.
Other examples:

I hope it's helpful somehow~!
Truthfully, I enjoyed doing it quite a lot. I re-watched a lot of anime episodes just for it too.
The explanations above aren't mine though. It's from another website. I drew the black and white pictures though!
It felt like so long since I lined my hand-drawings so it was something I enjoyed doing a lot
Getting the screencaps was also fun~ Being able to re-watch my fav animes again~ It made me happy!
Ah, but somehow, I got sucked into Darker than Black.
Sore jya!
Ciao~!
