I could literally kiss the day if it was a real person!

Happy Friday everyone! Nothing too new going on over here - work still is a pain at times but kinda getting better and the job searching is meh. 

On another fabulous note - my mom is visiting me this weekend yay! Fun times to be had there.

What have I been up to lately? Well I have been watching a good chunk of anime: Sailor Moon, Persona 4, Danganronpa, I finished Corpse Party OVA...and there may be a few I missed since there's about 15 I am watching...I think haha.

Game wise I have not really been playing much. I have been more in a Manga/Anime/TV Show mood for now.

Manga wise I finished Volume 1 of Doubt published by Yen Press. With it being that amazing I went and ordered the second volume followed by it's sequal Judge Vol 1-4. So I will be doing a review on those fairly soon! But it's a story about the Rabbit Game....find the wolf among the group or people who's commiting the crimes. So it's pretty interesting, I may have to watch the live action of it as well.

Also planning to do a Corpse Party PSP vs Corpse Party anime comparison write up along with Danganronpa!

With also watching Danganronpa I am planning on replaying it with also the extra insentive that the second game is coming out in September so it would be nice to have it completed. Sadly I cannot say I will be rebeating Tales of Xillia before the second one comes out (which I have pre-ordered yay). I still have to finish my playthrough of it with Mila but it can wait. Which reminds me I need to finish up Tales of Graces F....too many games! Thank goodness I have a week of vacation coming up at the end of August! 

My Super Mario RPG review is collecting dust, I might try to write something up today but I have a feeling that my brain will still be imploded today since last night was a very long....and tiring day of siting around waiting for a build to happen at work...and testing...so we'll see!

What I am happy about is I started getting in the habit of doing notes now when I finish the game or as I am playing. Before I never did that because I was usually on a role with getting something written over right after I have finished it. The game reviews I have sitting and waiting may never get done till I redo the game since it's been months since last played them. I started it for anime too because I sometimes forget things along the way or I wait around and not write anything, forget and then cannot write anything since it's been awhile from watching/playing. So Notes = lifesaver in brain remembering!

I hope everyone has a great Friday!

I started watching Sailor Moon again recently and my kids have been watching Persona 4 for the past few days. Laughing  

I finished Tales of Graces f a few months ago.  It's a good game.  I started Xillia just to get a feel of it, but I didn't play much.  I wanted to play it before Xillia 2 came out, but I may have to hold off on getting it.  Too many games, comics, and figures are coming out around the same time.  Something has to give.  I'll pick up Xillia 2 next year also with some other games.

I started watching the remake one and I love it! I am planning to watch the original again afterwards too lol. Persona 4 I know they decided to remake it with the new character but it seems a bit slow in the beginning. 

I like Graces f, although not my favorite story so far. I really liked Xillia so I had to pre-order the second one. The first one for some reason just drew me in and the trailers for the second one gavem e goosebumps so I am super excited for it. It may get beat during my vacation lol. But agreed! There's a lot coming out at once like the new Phoenix Wright/Layton game, The Final Fantasy rhythem game second one for the 3DS, Danganronpa 2. Also super pumped for the localization of the Breath of Fire Art Book! I have been wanting to get it for the longest time but importing it from Japan was 100+$ so now I can get it in English and normal price lol.

I went to GameStop today planning to cancel my Xillia 2 preorder, but my friends talked my out of it.  I still want to play the first game before starting the 2nd.  

I read somewhere recently that Sailor Moon is getting re-released uncut in Japanese and English on bluray.  I can't wait to get my hands on that.

Yes it is! I saw the DVD pre-order on rightstuf.com and debated long and hard it I want to buy it...I may wait for Xmas lol.

I hadn't ordered anything from Right Stuf in years.  I still have some of their old catalogs.  I went to the site and saw Sailor Moon preorder has a sale on it too.  Damn, I wish I could get it now.  I have too much money tied up in videogames and action figures. Laughing

My friend, it sounds as though your proverbial plate is indeed full.  That's good!

That's quite a lot of anime to be immersed in.  I myself really want to watch the Persona 4 anime, though I'm going to hold off on it until I finish up Persona 4 the game.  I'm about 30+ hours into it and have no idea if the anime would spoil it for me.  That being so, I can wait....the game is too good for me to potentially ruin the ending.  I'm not typically a fan of anime; however, the Blade anime that I watched a bit of on Crackle not too long ago is slowly bringing me around.  I like how sleek it looks, and the adult-oriented (not porn-adult lol) theme of it drew me in.  Can't ever have too much Daywalker!

I finished up Jude's storyline in Xillia and didn't end up going back to it, though I may, if only to clean up some of the trophies.  While a good game, I can't say it struck a deep enough chord with me to want to play the sequel.  My loss!

Hope you enjoy spending time with your mom!

I am certainly planning to play some P4 eventually once I get a copy of the game. I also started the P3 movies they started to make, saw the first one and it was pretty good. So I am completely ruining the story for myself but I still find it fun to play even if I know the story. 

That's who I played the story as first with as well, I want to clean up some of my trophies for sure in that game. I am close to getting a lot of them but figured in one play through it was going to be hard so I have to do Milla. I cant continuiously just jupm onto my Jude saved file and grind lol.

Weekend with my mom was a lot of fun!

Right now, I'm playing Tales of Destiny and making good progress on it.

I started Destiny. I am very close to beating it but then I got gamer ADD and moved away from it. I have to jump back on it and finish it up.

I feel you. This week has been the week that needs to DIE!

The only animes I've sunk myself into have mostly been on crunchyroll from the New Sailor moon series, the new season of RWBY and an odd little anime that caught my eye called The Irregluar at Magic high school. The technical aspect drew me in but the whole brother/sister love thing is a little weird.

Looking forward to reading about that Corpse Party game vs anime comparison. Mind if I relink that this october during my yearly octoberween maddness? That is if it's ready by then? I planned on having Corpse Party as one of my Top 11 choices in octoberween gaming this year and it would be cool to have a comparison piece during that month.

I love the Irregular at Magic High! I am watching that too plus reading the anime =) and yes the Brother/Sister complex thing is weird but I think there's a reason and more to it that hopefully gets explained in the story. Otherwise that sister is just weird lol.

You are more than welcome to! I am thinking I may try to get a draft started up today for the anime part of it. I want to replay or watch a walk through. Not sure yet on Corpse Party just to kinda fill a few gaps of anything I forget about it. But I can have it more than ready in time for October!

The Danganronpa anime was my intro into the world of the series and I didn't regret that at all. That said, I would like to play the original game just to experience the content that isn't present in the anime and have more interactions from the characters.

In the contrary to you, i've been sorta steady with video games (even if it isn't a big progress), but i'm lazy with anime. Need to focus more, I know.

I will say the anime left me a little dissapointed, because I played the game first. I feel they could have taken some of the game like actions from the game out. but you'll see that in my review =p 

I need to focus more on games lol. I am trying but it's not working! I think that when I get to my vacation I'll be able to focus a lot more on the games.

I've been taking notes too. Totally helps in the writting later on. I even do it while I read blogs sometimes, especially if they're long.

FAF101

08/11/2014 at 06:58 AM

That's actually a good idea! I didn't think about that when reading other peoples blogs. I'll have to keep that in mind when I read something that someone else wrote if it's something I am playing or watching!

I actually watched that Corpse Party anime pretty recently despite never playing the game. In short, I didn't like it. But I will read what you have to say before I spill the beans.

Haha thanks! and I will agree with you on the part it wasn't that great but it did have some moments I liked better than the game. I am hoping to start that draft up today!
