Rust Blaster review :D

  • Jul. 6th, 2009 at 8:32 PM
Grell

Thanks to the [info]gfantasy_magcommunity, I got to know of another manga by the wonderful Toboso Yana aka the author of Kuroshitsuji, which is called Rustblaster. Too bad it only had only 1 volume / 6 chapters (like a certain Sugisaki Yukiru manga *cough* Rizelmine *cough*)

http://www.onemanga.com/Rust_Blaster/

It's like a shounen version of Vampire Knight, actually. And it's like Soul Eater too. The plot is also on vampires and humans trying to coexist with evil ones trying to take over. In the 1000 Years Academy, the main character, a very unvampire-ish vampire, Aldred meets a human transfer student Kei by chance. But what they do not know is that the fate on the world now depends on the two of them...

You see, every vampire has a family weapon except for Aldred. When an evil vampire attacks the Gate that the school is protecting, Aldred tries to defend himself and everyone else to no avail. Nearing the brink of death, his only chance to survive was to suck Kei's blood. (which is prohibited since vampires are not allowed to suck human blood)

Aldred then gains a weapon - the Holy Spear - and manages to pwn that evil vampire. He thinks that he has finally got his family weapon, except that the Holy Spear reverts back into Kei's prone form. So begins the mission of Aldred and Kei to protect the world...

Actually. I was more attracted to manga because Kei really looked like Allen Walker from D.Gray-man. Especially his outfit resembles Allen's third uniform. But Rustblaster was serialised in 2006, so maybe Hoshino-sensei copied Toboso-sensei? :O

Idk. Then since Aldred's a vampire, he'd be Krory. LOL.

*sigh* DGM's still on hiatus. I wish it was back. And that Rustblaster didn't have such a cliffhanger ending or so little chapters.

Then and again, you can't have everything in the world. Like for example, there's still school tomorrow despite how I am reluctant for it.

Til the next post~~

Hetalia and happy (belated) Canada Day (:

  • Jul. 2nd, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Haruhi

As the title says, happy belated birthday to AmeriCanada because I couldn't bear to ignore him and his birthday. Even though the icon here is of America. The Hetalia community here's alrd full of Canada Day posts, and I'm betting there will be more during the 4th of July. Also I bet there would be more England x America stuff than Canada x America then too.

LOL. Yeah, I recently went into the Hetalia fandom because everyone was talking about it and it spreads like a virus. In a good way though. History never looked this good. And anime has never been so funny and educational at the same time. Like in episode 23, I learnt about Liechtenstein (which is a handful to type and a mouthful to say) which I never heard of before. And I bet Germany was totally thinking otherwise about Italy's phone call. He was prolly suspecting rape.

Liechtenstein reminds me of Echo from Pandora Hearts and she can totally be compared to Belarus too. Switzerland better watch his back before Liechtenstein does something. >D

On the seiyus, it's quite interesting to see Namikawa Daisuke aka N./S. Italy to have also done Fai from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles(both quite happy-go-lucky) , Paku Romi aka Switzerland is also Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist (both blonde), Onosaka Masaya aka France is Cerebus from Cardcaptor Sakura (ROFLMAO) and Takahashi Hiroki aka Japan is also Jounichi Katsuya from Yugioh (quite contrasting).

*shall end post before forgetting to do homework~*

On DNAngel, still no chapter, but there are spazztastic pics of Daisuke and Dark in the Asuka. Sugisaki-sensei is being mean to her fans as usual. D<

Jun. 25th, 2009

  • 11:50 AM
Daisuke x Dark

snagged from [info]xxbakuraxx

Reply to this meme by typing "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

DNAngel: The first shoujo manga I read since Cardcaptor Sakura and there was a gap of 4 years, mind you. I loved it due to my fetish for wings due to the Maximum Ride novels and also due to the romance too. And the fact that there are two winged bishounen who look damn good in anything especially when crossdressing. On that, I'm currently drawing Dark and Krad as Alice and Will of the Abyss from Pandora Hearts because the 'black and white theme' fits. Currently I'm still frustrated with Sugisaki-sensei's hiatus. I hope she comes back before other shoujo series that I'm reading (examples are Monochrome Factor and Shugo Chara) finish.

Krad: The most misunderstood character of DNAngel. Mostly because of the stupid anime which ruined him. Most people don't like him because he fights with Dark and tortures Satoshi. But remember that people are born good, so there must be a reason Krad became evil. To sum it in one sentence, he needs more love. Look at Dark, despite his state as a curse and everything, the Niwas treat him well, are concerned about him. In return, Dark also helps his tamer whenever possible, despite having an attitude problem. However, the Hikaris shun Krad, treat him like a parasitic presence and a curse. Because of this, Krad is lonely. And when even the only other presence similar to him aka Dark hates him, he is really pitiful. After all in volume 9, Krad says that he envies Daisuke. Until then, he needs more panels. D<

FMA: I read it after D.Gray-man because I heard that it's similar to DGM. My favourite character's Edward Elric, and I support Edward x Winry all the way. Even thought I might like BL couples of other series, but I can never stand those couples of FMA. Roy's too old for Edward, and Envy's technically Edward's half brother in the anime. Currently the story's in the climax, and I'd really love to see the climax end nicely. Especially I want Alphonse to get his body back, and a Edward x Winry last page.And a Harry Potter-ish epilouge. just joking. Still didn't like the way Envy commited suicide but oh well... FMA ftw and Edward should get a happy ending because he deserves it like totally.

Chinese language: It's my second language (because I'm Chinese) and quite troublesome compared to English. So many strokes, but I suppose that's the beauty of it. But recently I've been thankful that I can read and understand it due to the unavailability of Japanese manga raws and availibility of very HD Chinese scanlations on the internet for series like Ouran High Host Club (chapter 72's coming soon), Monochrome Factor (Just read 41), Kingdom Hearts II (I feel sorry for Axel in chapter 37), Pandora Hearts (Even if Gil is called as 小基 which sounds just like 小鸡 which means chick as in the baby chicken and I crack up because of this) Although it's in traditional Chinese which is much more complicated than the simplified Chinese I'm used to, at least I can understand it and I'm happy. Still a pain to read it still...and I'm dying for the next Ouran High chapter 8D

manga: I read it because of the kawaii-ness aka big-eyed-ness of it. And also because it has epic plots and characters. First seires was Cardcaptor Sakura, first series that I was reallt obsessed with was Death Note. Because of this, I also learnt some mediocre Japanese enough to read some raws although mostly I still look at the kanji which are the Chinese looking characters and cheat in the process. Currently I'm still more biased towards shounen manga because I can't stand shoujo manga unless it has an excellent plot that involves action and fighting like Shugo Chara, DNAngel and Monochrome Factor due to too much fluff. One exception is Ouran High. But that's because of Tamaki and Haruhi. Now I'm most obsessed with Pandora Hearts because of the Alice in Wonderland theme, gothic Victorian-ness, cute protagonist and his erm...ancestor. Chapter 38 was epic win especially Gilbert's past. Damnit, I'm starting to ship Jack x Gilbert and Jack x Vincent... But who is that mysterious woman on the last page? (O_o)

Writer's Block: I Can Relate

  • Jun. 19th, 2009 at 10:27 AM
Haruhi

What fictional character do you most identify with?


View other answers

That's easy to answer. *points to userpic*

Definitely Fujioka Haruhi from Ouran High Host Club. Like her, I'm tomboyish, mistaken for a boy if I don't state my gender, had hair cut once due to chewing gum in hair, have wonderful friends who can be idiotic in a good way, gives blank looks often and wears glasses.

Speaking of this, Ouran High Host CLub chapter 71 is win.There's a TamaHaru moment with a sleeping Tamaki (with an upset Hikaru watching them which even a TamaHaru fan like me can sympathise with) and Mori and Honey are going to graduate. That's all I'm saying because there are major spoilers.

on rl, the school holidays might be extended due to the H1N1. Quite sad since I'm bored of the holidays already and e-learning means even more homework. D<
Haruhi

read the cut. and the spoilers there are epic. namely on Axel and Xion. you've been warned

Xion is no longer a Mary Sue and Axel has a very Star Wars ish real name... )

Talking about Kingdom Hearts, Pandora Hearts has quite a number of similarities to KH besides the 'Hearts' in the title. I wonder if Mochizuki-sensei plays it?

In chapter 37 of Pandora Hearts, the title of the pocket watch melody was revealed and written in English on the grave as 'Lacie'.

And Lacie so happens to be an anagram of Alice. weird, no? I'm thinking that Lacie's most likely the Will of the Abyss's real name and she used to be human before being sacrificed to the Abyss, although some think it's Alice + Will of Abyss's mother or Alice + Will of Abyss combined.

If Alice or Lacie had a Nobody, it'll be something like Xaciel. LOL.

Because I'm so lame, here's my list of KH and PH similarities
1. Plot-wise :
-PH: Oz, after being dragged into the Abyss, meets Alice and goes on a journey to recover her lost memories. 
 KH:Sora is also kind of searching for Kairi's heart or sth like that after Destiny Islands is attacked.
-PH:Gil betrays Oz by being adopted into the Nightray family (+ stabbing him) and hides himself under the name of 'Raven' when Oz comes back from the Abyss but eventually they reconcile. Oz forgives Gil and still considers him as a friend.
 KH: Riku goes to the side of the Heartless at first, later on he hides himself in the Organization cloak due to tapping on Xehanort's heartless in him. In KH II, Sora reconciles with him and forgives him.
-PH: Mysterious and evil organization makes Oz's life difficult aka Baskervilles
 KH: Organization XIII. nuff said.
2. Anagrams. Look at above.
3. Character wise :
-PH: Oz the teenaged main character, is damn optimistic and determined to save Alice. He has a butler / best friend called Gilbert who is quite trapped in between the good and bad side.
 KH: Sora is the teenaged main character, is damn optimistic and determined to save Kairi. He has a best friend called Riku who is also tranpped in between the good and the bad side.
-PH: Gilbert is the best friend of the Oz. He stabbed Oz while possessed, and in the 10 years Oz was gone, was adopted in the Nightray family which is kind of the Vessalius family's enemy (?) He hides himself in the alias 'Raven' and refuses to reveal himself to Oz when he comes back from the Abyss.
 KH: Riku is the best friend of Sora. He went to Maleficent's side and totally betrays Sora. Later on he hides behind the Organization cloak because he feels that he cannot face Sora in KH II

can't think of any more, and my hands are tired from typing. Till the next entry...

Kuroshitsuji Chapter 33 review + RL

  • May. 23rd, 2009 at 6:16 PM
Grell

...also because I want to try out the new mood theme.

CHAPTER 33 OF EPIC WIN )

Suddenly I have this image of DNAngel characters dressing up as those of Kuroshitsuji in my head too. Since Sebastian has a long fringe and has short hair, so Dark can dress up as him. (Fine, I know that Argentine's the butler, but Dark would look awesome in Sebastian's butler suit). And Krad has long hair while being as psycho as Grell, so he can make a really creepy Grell.

Then if he acts the Grell part by acting really gay and blowing kisses at Dark, I can see Dark getting really freaked out while attacking Krad in return.  *shall draw this during Halloween*

On an unrelated note, I did a Facebook quiz called 'What angel is watching over you + anime pics'. I got Gabriel, and the most ironic thing was that the picture used was Krad with his hair down in a red robe. The creator of that quiz has obviously not read DNAngel. Because Kraddie here despite being blonde and white-winged, is a homicidal and psycho angel (technically an artwork here) who is not angelic at all save for his appearance. I just LOLed at that...

Holidays in a weeks time, and homework is already piling. Plus I have to start practicing for my end of year Music practical which requires 2 pieces that is at least 10 minutes in total. Can already foresee that they holiday is not going to be much of one.

Daisuke x Dark

Do you believe in fate? Why or why not?

Submitted By [info]and2c_hersmile


View other answers

Haven't done any Writer's Block in a long time, so yeah.

Anyway I don't believe in fate. Because it's damn obvious that we do have to put in effort to get what we want / need. If fate was true, then we don't need to even go to school or do anything at all as everything will just happen on its own.

However I believe in fate to a certain extent. Like we're all meant to die someday, some people are unluckier than others and get diseases they don't even ask for (but that's more of genetics).

The userpic that I used here of Dark and Daisuke has a reason too. It's fate that the Niwa ancestor had to interrupt the Hikari's ritual of creating the Black Wings which caused the life force to split into two, creating Dark and Krad in the process. Without any other choice, they had to latch themselves on the only vessels available, which is the sinned artist and the kaitou. And it's also fate that Hikari and Niwa had to cursed by Hikari's artwork...

Speaking of that, DNAngel is still on hiatus. Grr.

On RL, exams are over, I'm currently packing for OBS next week and watching a lot of Vocaloid videos. I especially love Kaito as he has such a sexy voice and it's quite hard to believe that they are computer programs. The 'Kokoto Kiseki' video even made me cry...

Have a good weekend! :D

Writer's Block: Taxmen and Poetry

  • Apr. 16th, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Phantom of the Opera

It's Tax Day in the U.S., a day when the mind might be too occupied with deductions and long lines at the post office to think about poetry. But let's try: what's your favorite line of poetry? Song lyrics count.


View other answers

Since song lyrics count, I'm going to use a song from the most epic musical ever.

Song: Phantom of the Opera
Musical: Phantom of the Opera
Composer: Andrew Lloyd Webber
Original author: Gaston Leroux
Singers: Christine: Sarah Brightman
               Phantom aka Erik: Michael Crawford
(the movie version sucked. the muscial was so much better)

Christine: Those who have seen your face draw back in fear...I am the mask you wear...
Phantom: It's me they hear...

all songs are so awesome but i like this best due to it being also kind of related to D.Gray-man.

Digression to D.Gray-man, but it's damn suitable to cast Allen as Christine and the 14th as Phantom. Even if Christine's a girl. Since the BO does fear the 14th, and he's hiding in Allen so as to finish his mission of pwning the Millenium Earl.

has also read DGM 185 spoilers. all i can say is asdfgasdhdsgfakfh. :X

sometimes the anime is just so alike in many ways.

i shall talk about Sukisyo in another post soon.

anyway, 2 of the DNAngel seiyus r also seiyus in Sukisyo, namely Okaiyu Ryoutaro and Ishida Akira. Respective they do Dark and Kai, Satoshi and Nanami. Ishida Akira has a good voice as well, n I’m quite happy with his appearances in Sukisyo cos Nanami as one of Sora’s guardians, is quite an impt char. But Nanami doesn’t get a song while Shinichirou n Kai hu is a more minor char than Nanami does. Maybe Ishida Akira can’t sing so well? Cos there’s also no Satoshi char song for DNAngel as well.

here's the lyrics n my interpretation + feelings of the English lyrics of Kai's character song which ttly applies to Okiayu Ryoutaro's other role aka Dark:

RELOADED - Kai's Image Song, sung by Okiayu Ryoutaro

"I can't stay" Everything seems like a contradiction

Dark can never stay for long in this world and his situation + surroundings r contradictory. He’s got black wings but has the good
heart but Krad has white wings yet he is evil. Finally, he’s cursed to live a sad existence despite doing nothing wrong to deserve it.

Weak living things, get down

I believe tt Dark had this kind of mindset when he was just created as an unfeeling artwork.

I just reloaded- I'll fire these memories with nowhere to go

He has nowhere to go due to the ties which bind him.

Along with the bullet I put in

I just reloaded- tomorrow is in my hands

Reloaded everything... as long as I have this moment, it's enough for me

To Dark, only the present matters as he rather not remember the past, n doesn’t have much of a future. The only moment for him is
the present.

"I can't fly" Everyone struggles, unable to fly

Even with that pair of black wings, Dark has no freedom either. Due to the curse, the tamers of both halves of the Black Wings
together with the angels struggle in this never-ending battle.

I throw away the tears I can't hold back

As he’s not human and also he might be afraid to, Dark doesn’t express his feelings to anyone. Even Daisuke as Dark’s tamer
still finds him a mystery despite being closest to him.

I just reloaded- release the sleeping pharaoh

In your closed eyes

Feeling my wings spread

I fly away, gazing at tomorrow- I just reloaded

Another DNAngel thing: wings. *spazzes*

I just reloaded- I'll fire these memories with nowhere to go

Along with the bullet I put in

I just reloaded- tomorrow is in my hands

Reloaded everything... as long as I have this moment, I don't care

Dark doesn’t really give a damn whenever he can. No one can blame him either for doing this.

Resistance to the past, an unshakable future

All of my memories reloaded to tomorrow- I just reloaded

Just reloaded...

Notice tt Dark never mentions the past despite being like 3 centuries old. He can only see his future as just surviving in his tamers’
bodies for a while before disappearing and just that.


then the Sukisyo anime has even more similarities but i shall rant on it in another post.

lol. after doing this post, i feel like doing Literature homework now. scratch tt. i wanna sleep now esp after the RC leadership camp tdy.

to do homework:
1. Literature
2. Geography
3. Chinese
4. Chemistry
5. English
