Where is my real life Gundam movie?

So whilst sitting through the loud, non-stop, eyeball popping, action-fest that is Transformers 2, it occurred to me.

If we can make a movie that can make mecha look this freakin sweet. (If you say Optimus Prime doesn’t look kick ass in this movie then you are a liar).
Why have we not yet gotten a sniff of a live action Gundam movie?

Damn it, Akabeisoft2, don’t do this to me!

I was  going through, Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo, which was made by Akabeisoft 2, who later went on to make Devil on G-string. AND IT WAS FANTASTIC. How can I describe it? The touching moments are very touching, and in some places the crying power is almost as strong as AIR. The kickass moments are very GAR, making you cheer on the characters. And the shock of what really happenes to people who have broken the greatest laws…the absolutely mastery at which the writers had written in all the hints and pulled them together rivals that of EVER17.

BUT, the endings! They all have this weird and choppy feeling to them, placed, almost as if broken off from the main storyline, existing in another dimention (not much better that Princess Waltz). To supplement the endings, AK2 released a fandisc (Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu Shounen Shoujo). But, of course, that means extra money and extra years while I wait for a translation group, ANY translation group to release it!

Since I’m sure that very few of you share my agony, go and read this review to get pumped, and then go check the TLwiki and go through the agony of waiting for the game to be released…mua haha!

My journey through Umineko Ep1

00:10: OMG, BEACTRICE. Haha, they used the game image! OMG Akiko Shikata, the song sounds awesome! OMG, I can’t believe that this is an anime!!!!!

What the hell, I sound like a rabid fan girl.

Ack, I don’t care anymore. I’ve been in love with Umineko too long to worry about how I sound right now.

No, seriously, how CUTE is that?

Chibitalia  is just so awesome on so many levels……

I’m so addicted to reading Hetaila, thank the world for those hard working people at LJ.

Happy 142th Birthday, Canada

I’m too into Hetalia, I’m trying to pull out of it, but I can’t.  It’s just too damned cute.

Devil on G-string Pt 1: Tsubaki Miwa

Well, I just polished off the last file in Tsubaki’s path and sent it to the editor,  so the next patch of the game should be out in a few weeks (the translation’s not completely done, there are still unfinished files from before her path). Like always, check Aegis for updates.

Since it’s going to be released so soon, I think that I should take a break from translating and give you guys a (pretty much spoiler free) post about Tsubaki, AKA the really good person who is completely naive and radiates a motherly presence.

Going through Sea Story Ep1

00:09: Oooh, fishies….

Cherry Blossom petal

A Single Sakura Petal
Vocals: riya
Lyrics: Key
Composition: Maeda Jun
Arrangement: Takumaru
Adapted from original BGM track “Haruka na Toshitsuki”

One day I walked with you on this slope where the sakura blooms
You were a person who was like a single flower petal

Inside of my dreams, I stood at this place when I chased after you
You said, “Please live without regrets”

I’ll name the story
That starts from there ‘life’
We struggled, grieved, lost things
Walking on our road

‘I’ll be by your side forever,’ that day when I vowed so
Becomes faraway; the wind blows and winter comes about

This me knew that I wanted to give you warmth
If I look back, there are distant years

Spring comes, and surrounded in the soft fragrance
A single flower flutters, looking down upon me

Now I’m still ascending this slope where the sakura blooms

Thank you to Atashi for the lyrics!

The story behind this post is that I was clearing my hard drive for the summer season, and then noticed an old clannad song that I haven’t heard in forever. Riya+Clannad+Jun maeda+awesome guitare part near the end=tears and awesomeness. I’ll admit that I cryed listening to this song, and you will too, if you know what Clannad is all about.
