血液型男子+恋する暴君+ カーニヴァル漫画

Ketsuekigata Danshi~ 血液型男子

So while on the verge of searching for TALK CD's and Drama CDs by my favorite Seiyuu(s). I found a wonderful treasure!!! It's a drama cd about Ketsuekigata (Blood Types). It talks about characters of four boys with different characters who lives in the same house (but it's not a BL!!!). Well, it's target audience are females, so most probably there's  fanservice too! :)

So all characters differs from each Blood Types: (before, I've blogged about Ketsuekigata so if you want to know about the 4 blood types check it here

Type A
Sohma Aichirou
CV: Sakurai Takahiro

He's like all typical A-type, serious and who loves to follow the 'rules'. Well, if it's BL, i'd love Sohma x Akabane pairings though. But because it's not a BL, it can't be helped. LOL. I can relate in his character bein' a nagger~ :P

Type B
Akabane Hibiki
CV: Nakamura Yuuichi

I can relate to his character except being too lenient in school. Also, we're alike in terms of being too passionate in terms of interest -- his enthusiasm towards his passion and interest are way beyond, just like moi!





Type O
Shirakawa Rio
CV: Suzuki Tatsuhisa

I like his character being lively. Also, his character are like my bestfriend's. Especially being nibui (dense).

Type AB
Kurosaki Miyabi
CV: Kakihara Tetsuya

Well, as much i like Miyabi's seiyuu (kakihara), am skeptical in his character being too SHY! It's cute but kinda annoying :P





Koisuru Boukun (CV Tatsumi [Midorikawa Hikaru], Morinaga [Toriumi Sousuke])


BTW, am sorry for typo(s) or misuse of grammar, am too preoccupied right now (listening 'koisuru boukun') drama cds... YES! a BL~

The story goes on like this, Tatsumi-sempai HATES gay(s)! Especially because his 'kawaii otouto' (lil bro) became like that. Morinaga on the other hand is Tatsumi's subordinate(?), well, they're very close and Tatsumi's only close friend. He loves Tatsumi but seeing his sempai hating gays, he can't imagine himself being his lover. Until that day........

As the moment he found out that gay marriage are permitted in US, he went to his kouhai Morinaga and go sober but unfortunately unable to wait for Morinaga's return (for buying more beers) he drank the special potion that Morinaga hid, when I say about special potion, it's a sort of medicine who'll make someone "arouse". So somehow, Morinaga had his chance to 'taste' his beloved sempai. LOL So in the end it seems Morinaga was able to fulfill his desires. :P Well, as I know, Tatsumi's just a do-S and 100% a tsundere :P




On a side note, I have a new favorite MANGA!!! That's Karneval~~ I've listened some of its drama cds too! I love Kamiya Hiroshi, but atfirst it seems he doesn't fit the role of Rageki, but as the story progresses, I think he does fit the character~ But, I really hope this wonderful manga will have its ANIME someday (hopefully!!!)

Eargasm *q*

Fujoshi Mode!
I've been listening quite alot BL drama cd's these past few days~
Here's some titles & an overall review~~ NO DOWNLOAD LINKS 残念

Koto no Ha no hana (言ノ葉ノ花)
CV: Kamiya Hiroshi x Ono Daisuke

**for those who don't know KamiKami and On-chan <-- that's what I call 'em though :P
Kamiya Hiroshi aka Natsume Takashi (Natsume Yuujinchou)
Ono Daisuke aka Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji)

Review:

Yomura Kazuaki (Kamiya) can hear other people's thoughts. He can hear everything what other people thinks about him, especially unpleasant ones. Even when he met Hasebe Shuichi (Ono Daisuke). He found out that Hasebe's madly inlove with him.

Yomura seemed drawn at him, either because he was curious about his love or because it was the first time someone said something nice about him. They've gotten close but Yomura haven't told Hasebe about his ability to read people's mind but when Hasebe's sister got herself a con-man trying to make a money out of her, he acted out which led Hasebe asking him about things. And since Yomura thought that Hasebe could understand and will believe him, he told him everything.

So what will happen right after Yomura told Hasebe the truth? Well, find out yourself! LOL. Well, it's a waste if I'll spoil you right? :P  It's a good BL! If I'll rate it I'd give -- 10/10

Sentimental Garden Lover
CV: Kondou Takashi x Kamiya Hiroshi, Kishio Daisuke x Nakamura Yuuichi

**Kondou Takashi (Onodera Ritsu -- Sekaiichi Hatsukoi), Kamiya Hiroshi (Natsume Takashi -- Natsume Yuujinchou), Nakamura Yuuichi (Gray Fullbuster -- Fairy Tail)

Review

It's a light BL, about two cats who wished to become humans. Hiro was physically abused by his boyfriend, seeing how Hiro suffers Fuji (Kondou) wanted to protect Hiro (Kamiya) so he wished God to give him a human body.

The other cat, Shima (Kishio), was once Hiro's pet, but seeing how Fuji strives for Hiro, he left telling Fuji that he'll find himself a man. That's when he landed on Taki's place. Taki had once a lover named Shima, but since Shima had his issues being the eldest son of the family, he had to get marry married and succeed the family business thus forced to leave Taki. After Shima and Shima (cat) saw each other, Shima said to Shima (cat) about his last goodbye to Taki (Nakamura), "even if I'm married, Taki will always be the only one I truly love". Shima (cat) being desperate about Shima's last words, he plead to god if he can give him something he wanted bad --- to be able to talk. Thus, making both Fuji & Shima turn into humans temporarily.

Kuchibiru de Kowasareru
CV: Kamiya Hiroshi x Nojima Kenji

**Nojima Kenji (Fumito -- Blood-C)

Review

Kanna (Nojima) fell in love [[at first lick(?) LOL]] with Tomochika (Kamiya) the moment they've met in the bar where Tomochika works in at times.

Throughout the story, Kanna felt uneasy about Tomochika, since he thought Tomochika was only teasing him (because he also heard alot of things about him too, like, Tomochika dates anyone who'll confess their love etc etc). But right after he found out the story about Tomochika and that Tomochika will never cheat (and that's actually quite the opposite), the walls between them were lifted and they live happily ever after.

Strobe Edge


この漫画読めたとたん昔の片思い急に思い出しちゃった!!
あの頃、勝手に思い込んで、勝手に傷ついて・・・ずっと勝手な真似をしちゃったな。。。ざまみろ!笑
めちゃ辛かったな、あの頃~でもまあ、もう乗り越えたから、平気平気・・・笑

Well, after reading this manga... I...remembered alot of things, especially 'unrequited' ones... of the... PAST. Nyahahahaha... So, it seems we have in common, the protagonist girl, Ninako-chan. There was a time wherein I did the same thing as she did in the manga, like for example, pretending to be happy and alright in front of the guy who turned me down etc. Well he didn't really say something like 'I'm sorry, I have someone else I'm dating right now' or 'I like someone else'. But I read somewhere that, the most heartbreaking replies you could ever get from confessing is... 'thank you', it means, he/she has no interest in you...at all. Ouch.

Before, it's really hard, but today, it's only a distant memory, and if I do remember those events, like now (because of the Manga), am just laughing it off, it's not a big deal anymore, although, I could say, I did cry alot that time. BTW the thing that I adore most about Ninako-chan, she's not really much of a crybaby like most protagonist in a shoujo manga, she cries, but not to the point that it's exaggerating things or annoying, but to the point that you want to cry too and wanna comfort her...

It sucks y'know, being at a situation that requires alot of 'pokerface'-ing. There's this one time, wherein I confessed my love and he said, "thank you", right after, everything seems fine...like always, but suddenly, he flirts with other girls in front of me, not that it's a bad thing, but I guess, he's not considering my feelings at all, well, for me who hates showing my weak points, I pretended like its nothing and continued what I was doing, even smiled/ laughed...whatever, but right after I arrived at my room, tears suddenly fall and I came bursting in tears *sobs pretty badly*

But now, am really ok. And like Ninako, I can't really seem to hate him, in fact, like Ninako-chan, I still want to continue liking him... even from afar. Love sucks? You bet. But that's reality. And...I can't really picture loving some else right now, that's why, Strobe Edge gave me an enormous impact and reminded me of my bittersweet unrequited love.

Valentines Day

So... it's valentines day today! 1:52am (Feb.14) here in my Kuni (country)...
Like most of my entire years, am dateless as ever. But no worries, am not really worried of that stuff right now. Am more worried about moi career. So before I could go on about unrelated stuff, it ends here right now.

So what's good about Vday? Well, for those who have boyfriends/girlfriends, it's their day! Hooray for 'em (and I sounded like a bitter gal just now... *peace*)

Nah, am not really bitter, it's true I suck at relationships, even in friendship whatsoever... but then, I guess it's not yet the time to be all mushy about love/relationship(s).

Yes, I understand that it's important too. But it's not my priority this time. Anyway, about today, how would I celebrate my Valentines (esp having no partner to celebrate with?). Well you're wrong! I do have partners in crime, well--- they're not human, they're things, such as TV, DVD Player. mr. cuddly pillows and half-full strawberry icecream. *grin*

So am gonna sitback, relax and watch any romantic movies/animes whatsoever today! I'm very much enjoying my single life y'know. But if given a chance, I'd definitely want to celebrate valentines with my Ikemens, especially Kashino-kun (Yumeiro Patissiere), I'd definitely want to try/taste one of his chocolate creations, yum! Oh well, back to reality, so that's just it. Am just gonna enjoy Vday just like any other day.

So, starting this very moment, am gonna listen some of Kannou Mukashi Banashi CDs and right after, gonna read Strobe Edge, found raw manga/s, sad to say I couldn't find raw manga/s of Barajou no Kiss, but atleast I've found drama cds of it, Nakamura Yuuichi-sama, you're voice is very (verrrrrrrrrry) sexy, *q*, he voiced as Higa Kaede (Barajou no Kiss), but I love his role more in Fairy Tail as Gray Fullbuster.


Anywho, over and out! TTFN! Again, Happy Valentines Day to everyone :)

Food Trip: cakes, pastries, sweets & delicacies

The pudding that I've always ordered at Shokudou

Sweet tooth? YES!
Although I tend to restrain myself from those stuff(s) (that's what you get for having cases of Diabetes in both side of family). So, having restrictions on  sweet stuff is greatly inevitable -- especially, chocolates.

Sad to say, am now allergic to chocolates (ok that's a lie), well, am not really sure, it's just, there's a time I devou-- err ate only chocolates for 3-consecutive days, and so -- the red rashes appeared in my arms and back. So my mother pointed 'chocolate' as the genin (responsible, cause) for that red rashes, and from now on I was restricted eating chocolates (but having born stubborn, what else can you expect from moi? :P)

So, about sweets and stuff, I'm really quite interested in pastries especially the ones that were made in France. I first tasted Madeleine when a friend of mine (from Kobe U) went to D**** for a 6-days vacation, he gave us box of madeleine(s) as sashiage and other stuff. Oh Dieu, that was delicious! Tres Bien! I guess, that was my first and last, huh? ^_^ I don't know any shop selling madeleines, and if it were to have one, I don't think it's as good as those I've tasted before. The quality is superb.

In terms of cakes, I'd definitely like sort-of ice cream-ish cakes especially -- Red Ribbon, but since it's a commercial cake shop, I think there's still much beyond imaginable tasty cake out there, and the only way to find that out, is if I'd go to France. The world's best pastries and where best patissiere(s) are.

Oh yeah! There is one, the cakes I've tasted in Japan, there's this friend of a friend who invited us to their homes and the wife prepared the cakes (from a certain cake shop w/c I don't know where and what) but that cake was indeed delicious, the cakes are well presented and like french cakes, they're all in even shape, not just the presentation but the taste as well, it has that bittersweet after taste...
 
I love Japan's sweets too, especially, momiji manju (in Hiroshima). Although if you're looking for a well-known japanese sweets, you should visit Kyoto. There was a time that we really made one, and well, for me who rarely holds cooking utensils, I was able to make 'okashi' and well, it tasted good too... not as good as the shop sells but it's somehow edible! :P

I first ate pudding in Japan, and when  it's time for breakfast/lunch/dinner, I'd always make a point that I'd buy one... ^__^ it tasted like leche flan but not actually a leche flan. :P In terms of pancakes, so far, the tastiest pancakes I've ever tasted were at Pancake House :)  So before I reminisce too much on those, that's about it, the sweets I've tasted so far. :P

Oh, in my county, especially the city I live in, there's this special delicacy called Bibingka, and in my hometown, there's a famous shop who tops it all. So among delicacies I've tasted (in my country) that's the most promising one. It may not look tasty to everyone but you can assure that its good  Don't base a food on what it looks like it might look crap to you but once you've tasted it, you'll crave for more. :D

 




(-_-ll)

REJECTION
all of which I have no idea on how to express.
it's just -- once rejected, it's beginning to devour you inside and out.

People say, stay positive, and all things will be ok in a matter of time. 
but how can you say that if you haven't really experienced it yet?
Although, I understand that in times like this we have to be strong.
And we have to believe in ourselves -- (<.<)

Because that's the only thing that's left to us -- (^_^;)
if we stop believing in ourselves -- nothing will be left.
For better or for worst, we must continue believing in ourselves, huh?
Miracles don't just come and happen, it needs hard work and effort
Simply saying, No Pain No Gain.

antagonist/s(?)

So still lovestruck in Monster anime/manga, with regards to that I will be talking about the antagonist/s (?) this time. Will talk about Johan later, since am still dumbfounded by his brilliance and evil(ness). So instead will be talking about Lunge(?) or is it Runge and someone else, either way, it doesn't matter.

Many of you would  might oppose on what I've said about Lunge/Runge being the antagonist. Well, am not really sure what role he's portraying anyway. But one thing's for sure, he wanted to capture Dr. Tenma, which makes him one of the antagonist of the series. So what about this dude then?

Well, am not talking about how obsessive he is towards Dr.Tenma or anything rubbish. But mainly a comparison between two characters that have similarities in terms of their personalities per se.

Starting with Inspector Lunge (decided using L instead of using R); though I've said that this does not concern him about having obsessive behavior towards Tenma but I guess, I still need discussing those since that's one of the similarities these two characters have. Having said that, am still restraining any details with regards to that specific characteristic/s.

So what makes Inspector Lunge similar to X? That would be, 1) Job 2) Behavior 3) Goal.

So there are 3 parts in which these two characters have in common. Yes, indeed -- JOB. They're both working as Men of Justice, or mainly the ones who captures fugitives, criminals or who breaks the law. Or to be exact or rather direct to the point, they're both Police Inspector.

Next, Behavior. Yes, earlier I've said what behavior Inspector Lunge possess -- Obsession . The fact that he wants, at any cost, catch Dr. Tenma and X-dude feels the same way too. Another behavior they possess, they're pretty much to assume things (maybe because of being with the job for too long and encountering lots of criminals must've triggered those traits, that's part of the deal I guess, if you have that kind of job, expect the unexpected), think 5x ahead of criminal/s. And lastly, they have this irritating aura; seeing Lunge and X makes me really irritated and sometimes giving off weird feeling.

So let's break the (?) towards character X, let's reveal this dude -- if some of you cracked X; congratulations. For some who didn't -- better luck next time. So, character X, is none other than, Les Miserables -- Inspector Javert.
credits to Licca Fansubs (image)
Lastly, Inspector Lunge and Inspector Javert have the same goal -- to catch the criminal they're pursuing. Javert was obsessed of catching Jean Valjean and Inspector Lunge was (at first) obsessed catching Dr. Tenma. So basically these are the characters, who's suppose to be in the good side but may or may not be antagonist/s.

This is only my opinion, if you're against it, you're free do to so. Opinions are opinions -- and am entitled to one.

lots of unrelated blabber post

So before my computer crashes again like what happened last few weeks ago and had to reformat everything else, including installing chrome as browser... and totally destroying every files err bookmarks I've saved so far, here's a backup in case that happens again (seriously, stop)

so I've been totally obsessed with studying -- but since I have minor problems in financial, my parents can no longer sustain my thirst for going to college for the second time around, or is it third time(?) so I have to study in more economical way, and that of course through use of internet (the convenient way to study). Although I've ordered books from Amazon, few days ago, I still have weeks or even a month to wait before it arrives.

So, basically I have to depend on Mr.Web first, that's why am very saddened if SOPA/PIPA will be pursued. Then again, off topic. So here it goes, I've been searching for blogs and sites which enables me to study. And some of you might not understand this but some of you can and may thank me later for this -- it's via Japanese so it's like hitting two birds in one stone, I'm not a native Japanese, just studied Japanese for 4 years in College, 2-3 years self-studying, and even today/recently still reviewing/studying Japanese. Am very much passionate about Japan. But having no luck at all, am still stuck here in my beloved country, still haven't tasted the air of Japan (for the second time) for almost 2 years. And yes, I can totally comprehend what Chiaki Shin'chi felt back then, I too, feel the same way.

So again, pretty much off topic -- where are we? Oh yes, the sites.
So when I was on the verge of Korean fandom, I started searching sites which enables me to learn korean (via Japanese of course) and yes, I've successfully found that site, Hangul Forest & KBS World Radio.

Then, because of my addiction to 2005 anime MONSTER, decided to look for a site which teaches german, found few interesting sites indeed (again via Japanese) that would be: 自由学芸堂ドイツ語 & Grammatiftafel Deustch

then I have a friend who's learning english; she sometimes post what she have learned via blog. If italian, then Italia-go de [Subarashii desu ne]. And finally the language I've been meaning to learn and even enthusiastically wanted to go to **** just to enroll and learn french from a certain institution (even bought 2 books last year and another 2 books from amazon this month) French -- 学校行かずにフランス語.

And if you wanna learn about Japanese Urban legend go here

still watchin' monster

so *points* at the title, am still watchin' MONSTER. Am still at episode 30's still way waaaaaaaay far.
(credits to ngiuphobia)
anywho, i was wonderin' what was the animation all about in the ending theme, kinda creepy,  then on episode 31? or is it 32, when Johan went to the library to look for a picture book for his "friend" he found this book (never showed the title of the book -- the librarian(?) spoke only  about the author) so, because am curious enough, i used google to search what book 'Emil Scherbe' made -- and voila, the creepy ending animation !! there it is, finally, all mysteries revealed! So that was it all about, the book title says it all... "The Nameless Monster".. if you want to read the story -- you can go here

Monster -- better late than never

now watchin' MONSTER (anime)... psychological thriller/conspiracy anime ♥, what would you do if you find out that the person you save/d is actually a ruthless murderer?

---SPOILER ALERT---

... although am still at episode 19 out of 74, the setting is in Germany but the protagonist is a Japanese surgeon who was accused of multiple serial killings & now a fugitive (when in fact the boy he saved back then was the real perpetrator of all this -- named Johann and said to be the new Hitler --ofcourse in Anime).

Back when he became a serial-killer, Johann was an orphaned boy and has a twin sister; they were found at the borders of Czech, although they were separated; Johann was brought to Kinderheim 511 (orphanage) and his sister Anna/Nina was at another orphanage. Kinderheim 511 was said to be or proven to be experimentation lab which produces perfect soldiers (which maybe the cause why he became a killer). After the collapse of Kinderheim 511, Johann and his sister reunited again and was adopted by the ~ Family.

At that time Dr. Tenma Kenzo (genius surgeon) was the verge of success when suddenly due to confusion of self-righteousness and ambition; he chose to be righteous and disobeyed direct orders from the director, instead treating the mayor first; he treated the child (Johann). Mayor died and his son (Johann) was saved. Unknowingly, he saved a MONSTER which led to Dr.Tenma's dilemmas.

Later revealed that Johann was the one who killed his foster parents and that his sister Anna (Nina Fortner) was the one who shot Johann on the head. Anna stated that every couple who adopted them got killed and that rainy night she discovered that her brother (Johann) was the one who killed them all, and so "I held the gun, and the funny thing is, my brother said, go on but be sure to aim the head".

Now, Tenma felt responsible for the killings (because he was the one who actually saved him from the verge of death) and wants to stop him by killing him. It is also revealed that Johann seemed to have suffered in multiple personality disorder; which one seeks help to stop his killings and the other one a ruthless/merciless/remorseless serial-killer.
