Guilty Crown 01-03 : Mr. Nice Guy

Posted: 29 Oct 2011 09:42 AM PDT

Looks like i’m once again late for the party this season, and a very late one at that. I’ve pretty much took care most of my RL stuff which i’d rather not go into detail here; so much for a “comeback post” decades ago, pff. However, it’s not like i’ve been missing out or anything. In fact, I do know that there’re lots of nice shows out there this season so i’ll definitely squeeze out a late fall impression post out of my busy holiday schedule. But for now, i’ve decided to blog about this show weekly mainly because of it’s amazing episode 1 debut.

i’m pretty sure most of you know about Supercell as they are the group behind Guilty Crown’s amazing soundtrack. Usually, I wouldn’t like sentimental, soft genres type of songs but surprisingly ” Euterpe” was one of the main reasons why I like this show. Animation wise, I think it’s very well done on Production I.G’s part and I would say it’s quality is top notch, rivaling the likes of other top tier shows this season such as Fate/Zero, Boku wa Tomodachi, etc.

From what I read, some people have been talking about how Code Geass-ish this show is with the post-apocalyptic-war theme, the appearance of a mysterious girl and all. Yes in fact I do agree EXCEPT for that wimpy-antisocial main lead, Shu was it? (this shows that I couldn’t care less) I don’t remember Leloch being that much of a wimp, no? ~~Well at least Captain Gai didn’t do an epic spin kick like Suzaku LOL.~~ On episode 3, it just shows that how much of an idiot he is, just like how other wimpy main leads are *stares at Narumi*. Life hits you hard boy, you can’t just trust someone like that and it’s obvious that he’d turn you in before you do. But hey, look on the bright side, at least he’s bright and quick enough to figure out who “Sugar” really is. And this might just be the point where ~~he grows some balls~~ major character development kicks in and he decides to join the Undertaker after this mess! Well..hopefully.

Fortunately there’s this interesting character named Gai and I would say he is the physically capable version of Lelouch only without the geass. Also, without this epic smile LOL.

But hey, who knows he might wear this face someday when all goes too well for him, but only if Shu agrees to join him that is. Gai has the brains and great caliber as the leader and all but I have this feeling that he will be the surprise antagonist of this show. Did you find the way he said ” the void should be mine ” to be more than just frustration and anger? I smell jealousy there. He might seem like the good guy right now but he could be planning to achieve something entirely different from behind. Or maybe because his character was made this way? Just a wild, baseless guess guys, don’t bite me for that. ~~Oh I could smell the angry fangirls!~~

I find the whole “ability of king” idea to be a very interesting concept. As of now, it still remains a mystery as to why Shu could extract a sword out of Inori. Could she be the chosen one as the partner of an ability wielder? Did the creator of this ability performed an experiment on her? If she is to serve her purpose as one of the partner, that would mean there are 2 more characters like her. And it was also interesting to know that Gai has the ability to know what object/item/weapon is inside a person. It could either be a given ability or an acquired knowledge from somewhere so we’ll see about that. Oh man, this should be an interesting series to blog.

Oh, and I was suddenly reminded that I have been blogging on One-Precinct for a year now! That’s right, our first year anniversary is just around the corner! Ah, the tears, sweat and blood. Anyways, an anniversary post should be coming right up. So yeah, I guess that’s all for now. See you again next week for more Guilty Crown ramblings. Ryo-kun, signing out!

Linkin Park Visit Ishinomaki With Save The Children

Posted: 28 Oct 2011 09:39 PM PDT

I thought this video would be an interesting share here.

The video featuring Linkin Park coming along to Ishinomaki City together with the charity organisation called Save The Children.

Ishinomaki is one of the city that devastated by the wrath of tsunami that hit Japan several months ago. It seems that life activities have been back to almost normal even though the place are still in massive destruction. Some thing about Japanese people who I respect is they get up and recover very fast.

Mike Shinoda Talk During Visit To Ishinomaki

$330,000.00 Was Donated To Help Japan

A sum of money worth USD $ 330,000.00 was donated to help relief the disasters that hit the Japanese people. This video coverage is a good thing because at least we know that the donation made by us (Did you donate to Japan relief fund?) did actually received by the Japanese people to ease their burden.

Some of The Land Mark That Has Been Destroyed

The Students Undergo The Earthquake Protection Simulation

The Students Undergo The Emergency Evacuation Plan

These are the students from Teizan Elementary School. They are practicing on what to do when there’s an earthquake. I remember looking at this scene in one of the old manga I’ve read, Chibimaruko. So this thing actually happen in life. So far as I remember, our school never do such thing except for Fire Emergency Escape Plan simulation and we were scolded badly both from our headmaster and the chief fireman because we failed the simulation.

Cover Your Head!

One of The Donated Items Back Pack

One of the items that have been donated to the children in this area is this cute pink back pack. Lol. I wonder if the boys like it too. The red hood to cover the child’s head was also donated by the organisation and Linkin Park.

The Team Then Visit Ishinomaki Kita High School

The team then move to visit the Ishinomaki Kita High School with some native African performance doing some dance and beats. Each of the student are given a drums and it seems that they’re having fun together. Perhaps this is one of the way to help the teenagers to reduce the stress and trauma after being hit by such natural disaster.

The school hold about 600 students and 200 of them are losing their home sweet home. 600 students for a school is quite small number. How about the number of students in your high school? Last time my high school hold about 3000 students per semester and we have 6 classes for every level which hold around 30 – 40 students in one class.

Last but not least, if you can let’s help in something that we can do.

Place To Make Your Own Anime T-shirt, Mug and Etc

Posted: 23 Oct 2011 05:11 AM PDT

I’ve stumble upon this page where they sell some funny “big sister shirts“. Well, in our term that would be an “oneesan shirt” wasn’t it?

Do you want to smell your oneesan shirt? LOL That doesn’t make sense but most people do! (That’s out of the topic!)

Big Sister Shirt

Well, if you see the big sister shirts above it was quite cute and fun to wear. But what if I want to do my own oneesan t-shirt? Then my eyes caught this image;

This banner said that I can add my own picture. Well, I don’t have any oneesan picture currently

but I guess I’ll use my favorite character to try out the designing process.

The design is done online using some flash-based web applications and it was very easy to use.

I think a little imouto will also can use it with no problem at all.

Anyway, this is the results of my testing.

Yui Custom T-shirt

Looking good eh? Not only T-shirt. There’s also water bottle that you can design.

Here’s the water bottle I design. It have Sena’s picture on it.

Sena Water Bottle

How was these things? I’m sure you also want to design some of your favorite anime character on some of your belonging too, right?

Well, have fun.
