I have completed the Death Note manga finally. But then again, the ending made me go, WHAT? I really think I missed something.
I’m reading the pilot one-shot version and will be watching the movies sometime. I guess there’s more that I need to know.
Also known as Akagi to me. Finally over. I delayed finishing this because of all the blood and needles. It was the last episode, and I was like what the heck? I have 2 minutes left, and it’s like there’s a complete new 6 episode finishing event starting. I guess they found a cleaver way around it and made it so I didn’t have to watch another match of Mahjong. Thank goodness!
Next up? The Death Note manga. Little by little, I will hopefully finish this by the end of today.
Besides all the embarrassing sexual content (do not watch this w/ your sister’s friends in the room), which did lead to some funny jokes, I really did enjoy this anime, and I’m glad I watched it. I almost had one of those “that’s it?” moments like what I had with Tengou Tenge and Platinumhugen Ordian.
Btw, my fighting instincts have come back. I feel like I might find ways to enjoy myself again. I think I know where these feelings came from. I’ll be UNBEATABLE! HA HA Ha ha ha, just kidding.
I must say, I underestimated this show quite vocally and have come to regret it. I wonder what the draw to watching it was. I think it has to do with their being a talking badass tank in the desert.

COMPURITSU! Or complete as you would say in English without a Japanese accent. I had a lot of fun today. I was invited to hang out at Power Play w/ a couple of people I know, one I met in Iowa, and Nick ended up visiting so we had dinner at Fazoli’s which I now officially hate. It’s not worth paying money to eat bad food and now having to PAY for what they refer to as unlimited breadsticks. When the restaurant first opened in my area, I remember them having a lot of rounds of breadsticks and having food that tasted good. I can only assume it was the rise is gas prices and the incredible amount of greed that could’ve posed such a threat to something I was mildly fond of once.
Another thing I did for a couple hours was talk to the makers of KCD-Mix and boy was it hard to get through my English against their Japanese. I felt pretty bad about that. I saw an amazing cultural difference though. They seemed so apologetic for everything, much as I was in the past. So much so that I’d regularly get comments about it and reply with an apology for apologizing so much. Thus is my past engraved in itself.
The anime I just finished, I stayed up all night to finish. I don’t know why it took me near this long to finish it though as other anime I usually finish within a good amount of hours whilst this one took out a good slice of my morning. I now have the choice of either staying awake or getting the mild nap I will need to progress throughout the rest of the day.
Oh, and I talked to what I refer to as the most famous person in the Stepmania community as well as hung out with Mike. He proceeded to utterly despise a level in a game he’s trying to finish as his brother lost the memory card just as he was in the last area, but this was a save created years ago so a re-play just adds more to the memories I guess.
Finish and finish I have. I have fulfilled what has been a void of nothingness in my Winter Break by this, counting yesterday from my two pm wake to the writing of this post.

Just finished the Second Season of Kyou Kara Maou. I always thought something was fishy about it randomly picking up another fansub group to add onto the first after 39 episodes which is apparently the length of one of their seasons. An OVA was released on October 26th so I’ve definitely gotta look that up, and then there’s the third season which comes out April of next year. I just found out about that one and the third season.
What’s neat is that the anime seems to go on its own almost like Juuni Kokki did, but I guess, nothing can live up to what that series was. Oh, it was also done by the same group, NHK which, surprisingly enough, might have a hand in Welcome to the NHK, but I know as a fact they weren’t the only ones if they did have a hand in it. I finished that one yesterday afternoon. I hope I can finally start catching up on all the anime I’ve not finished since April 2006 when I got back into it. I’ve been downloading new anime because of fansub.tv. This one is one I started prior to that point in time, but then again, it was long enough to where I didn’t have the entire series yet since season two released February 2006, and I didn’t start watching it until after April.
Next animes in line for finishing are Ouran High School Host Club, the long awaited Romeo x Juliet, and The Third. After that, I should be able to finish even more of them. I’m glad. Then I can start watching newer ones again and hopefully won’t download a bunch all at once.
Some might wonder how I got stuck with so many in the first place. Well, if you download them new, you only have maybe 4 episodes at the most to watch and then from there on it’s one by one. April 2006 was basically the start of the summer and at work, a lot of stuff I did I could be watching anime at the same time. While there was a lot of pausing involved so I could work and read it, it proved to facilitate my watching many different and very unique new shows.
I could download some at home and some at work and thus, I had different series downloading in different places and that is why so many are unfinished. I ended up running out of shows to watch each day at work and had to download more and more. A bit overwhelming now since I have so many, but it truly is a good amount, it’s just that now that they’re all complete or nearing completion as with Pumpkin Scissors, it appears as if I have too much on my plate to watch.
I’ll put it like this, normally, how these shows work is that you watch TV and see one a week or one per day, but many different shows. That basically how I was watching them. Essentially, in downloading them, it was like watching them off of a Tivo, and I know that people owning one probably have filled theirs up at least once before creating the same kind of abundance of shows that I have.

Did you ever wonder what death feels like? It’s the one true time you feel like living because you realize it’s all gonna be over. If you want to know the true feeling of death, it’s the one that has no feeling. Why? Because you’re freakin’ dead!
If you ever realize you’re gonna die, and you live, it’s better to share the experience of living with others because you only get that one chance to do anything. I hope everyone reading this understand that.
Wow… I did NOT expect any sort of self-sacrifice or something pretty darn sad. Wow. That entire stage was kinda… Play the game, you’ll know what I mean. I’m just glad it got better the longer I played it. The pseudo Pokemon/RPG game fight was pretty awesome though, and I love watching Bowser’s expressions!
In the last few days, I’ve been changing like crazy. For some reason, I’m getting nicer all of a sudden kinda like I used to be, and I wanna donate again and such. I think, while it was college that made me Super Nice-guy EX12-3.5336, it was also what made me evIL aPPrentice GTx432 Ultra GTXzorZ’d. Recently, I’ve been watching stuff, and it’s caused me to change. Dunno how to explain it, but I’ve not been happy with myself for a good long time now, and I wanna change that, but with six classes to go, I’m almost done with college, and I might not even graduate! What kinda crap is that?
I think I’m being nicer again, but since things around me are filled with such lies and deceit, that’s probably why I’ve been struggling to keep whatever’s left of me sense of reality. It’s easy to find out, the reason I was always happy was because I was so oblivious to my surroundings. Happy I said? What happened to nice? Same thing in my opinion. I gain happiness from being able to be who I wanna be without having problems. I don’t like to be myself if it winds up biting me back. Not very good!
On the other hand, I had a little incident two days ago with my computer which caused a hard drive failure and the loss of three of the best internal optical drives in the house.
I often look at the past and realize my stupidity. But today, I have just come to learn something, if such is my remembrance of the past, am I not then stupid today? In the irony of such a statement, it would be known then that I would not be able to have such an epiphany unless, of course, I weren’t as my notion of present stupidity stated.
I wonder how I get into all of these paradoxes. It seems to allude me, but if I figure out how or why I’ve come to be so tied into them, I cannot fathom the outcome. I wonder…
So I feel like breaking up the bad poetry for a moment and just state that I’m almost done with the Final Fantasy retrospective from GameTrailers.com. I can’t believe I missed so much in gaming. At least with Zelda, I played a good portion of the games and with Metroid, I played a fourth of Super Metroid, about the same amount for the first GBA Metroid game, and have nearly beaten Metroid Prime 3. Final Fantasy has been so far out of my radar. I’ve always been a fan of Namco’s “Tales of” games in the RPG genre, and I don’t seem to know why.
I seem to have so many memories of me not understanding things, just not getting things I really should’ve even in growth. Like, I’d look back on something from my past when I was in high school and still not understand things. It seems I’ve only gotten such a grasp on life in the last 4-9 months. College revealed a lot, but reality didn’t quite catch up to me until it figured out I’d been avoiding it for a couple years.
Either way, story elements I feel like I used to get and understand, but not really, and then somewhere in my lifetime, I forgot everything, and then I regained my knowledge in various bits which have grown more and more until a most traumatic event in the summer of 2006. Since then, I seemed to have slowly lost most of my knowledge of the arts and struggled to keep my sanity along with my self-taught knowledge of emotions. After one final event, I lost control and ended up where I am today, trying to figure out what I’d forgotten. There’s a lot of stuff I used to know that I don’t seem to know anymore, and I really try hard to understand why I’m feeling certain ways when different events come up.
I have a lot to learn still I guess. How far do I need to go? I mean, I know bits and pieces of what I don’t know which is even more of a paradoxical statement, but then, there’s all the stuff I truly know is currently beyond my own comprehension, and they’ve been brought before me, but not directly. I can only fathom what it is I am to learn. There is currently no future in my view so I’m not feeling very well looking towards a void where there really shouldn’t be anything, but there is.
