I bought a Olympus E-P1 before I left for AX, but the camera didn't come in time for me to use it, so my sis ended up playing with while I was gone. After she left for Hawaii I finally got a chance to play with it by taking photo of my PVC haha. /lame

( On to photo dump!! )

Another Gintama clip distraction of the day:



Somehow scenes just pop in my head and I want to watch it again.

Ah man every minute of this scene makes me laugh....*rewatched over and over* Especially how Gintoki finally says his name right, but Katsura corrects him with "Zombrows". Katsura beings so cute with even a victory bg music hahaa... "Its decided, They're called Zombrows!"

This show is ruining my work ethic haha...tossing a Gintoki/Tsukuyo amvs as well.


Jiraia arc spoilers

EPIC EPIC EPIC AWESOMENESS!!!!

Just the right amount of well animated action and an emotional back story to tie it together. Plus stylized animation with the manga feeling combined with the regular colored animation. I think this episode is one the best in tying up an arc without too much going on. To the point while making a profound impact. Also can I ever hate a Gintama villain???? They always make a 180 when you think you've hated them....it just completely changes when you understand where they come from. I wonder when Gin-san's wound would ever do him damage....he takes a lot of serious blow.

Gintoki so GAR.


Next episode looks like comedy haha...
After looking at all the Gin-san figurine I own, I think Gintoki is my favorite after all hahaha...

New arc begins!! Finally! Lol. Season 4 was mostly crack episodes, so its a breather to get some actual plot line at last XD And Tsukuyo returns!!! <3 Such a awesome female character. I approve of Gintoki/Tsukuyo haha.

The scene with the Puff-puff action = ROFL. I don't remember much boob groping in Gintama before, so its the first? And that scene with them pretending to be married couples to join the spider gang, Gintoki gets skewered even tho Tsukuyo said he was much stronger than him.

Ah... Gintama is the best~~ <3

Maybe I should make lj theme Gintama...

Been doing a bunch of marathoning over this summer.

Early May: Shikabane Hime. 26 episodes.
Nice fluid animation as expected from Gainax. Weird plot. Too fanservicey with all the himes, but still serious and twisted. The comedic parts seems out of place. But Ouri has a nice chara design for a male lead...not so plain looking but so weak XD And Makina was pretty cool tough female lead. Keisei's part were so sad. They make a cute couple.

Late May-June 12: Star Trek TOS. Season 1-3
Brought the geek in me haha... I think I'm more acceptable of episodic plot. I still haven't watched the movies yet!! D:

June 12-June 27: Gintama. Starting at ep 20ish-163 since I watched some before.
Now I'm just waiting for the new episodes. Since there were a lot of depressing stuff happening over the summer, it still managed to make me laugh or smile. Such lovable characters. Even the filler episodes were fun.

July 6-July 20: Eyeshield 21. Starting at ep 7-145.
Same as Gintama, I watched a few episode back when it was still coming out but stopped for whatever reason. The characters here are also so lovable. The way they give each character their own backstory makes them feel important and not some side character. Even I feel sympathetic to the rivals who come back throughout the series. The fillers weren't that bad (unlike Naruto or Bleach) since they use existing characters and develop them more like Juumonji!! Also fun music!!! Back-On. ZZ. TRAX. Fav bands~~ Somehow I'm obsessed about looking for which episodes storyboard artist Katagai Shin and director Masayoshi Nishida worked on...because those were the good episodes and nicely animated ones.

Now I'm starting Soul Eater (7/21). I am actually pretty ahead from where I left off...hoho...

Multitasking is the best!
