Thanks to streaming sites like:
http://www.vizanime.com http://www4.funimation.com/video/ and http://www.crunchyroll.com
I'm watching more anime than I have in probably a decade. ^^; WHEEEEE!
Currently I'm on a huge Letter Bee spree. The main character, Lag, is so adorable! He's probably gonna end up as one of my all time favorites. Oh, who am I kidding, he already IS!
With the Spring anime season about to start I'm really hoping that Crunchyroll will simulcast Ookiku Furikabutte's 2nd season, since Funimation has said they have no plans to license it. According to the Crunchyroll website they'll be announcing some new shows any time now and I can't help but feel Oofuri will be one of them.
On a different note, I think what TOKYOPOP is doing with Neko Ramen (making one new 4-panel strip available each day by E-mail) is awesome! They're also available via website here: http://www.tokyopop.com/NekoRamen/tp_article/2936243.html I love waking up each morning to it. Today's made me particularly happy, I love the 3rd panel XD |

| My Favorite Series Revived!! |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|07:02 am] |
Viz is now streaming the Hikaru no Go anime on their new site http://www.vizanime.com/!! YAY!!!!!! Only the subtitled version appears to be up, so I guess they aren't planning to finish broadcasting their dub. Too bad, since they only had ~2 eps to go back when Toonami Jetstream was shut down. But I'm still really happy to see the series revived in America at all. Who knows, maybe they'll add it later.
LUUUUV Hikaru no Go! |

Changed my image to Kengo from the Monochrome Factor manga 'cause he's such a sweetie. I just received volume seven today (yay!) and it filled my heart with warm and fuzzy Kengo love. XD
Also got volumes 5 and 6 of Boku to Kanojo no XXX (Your and My Secret) since the release date for volume 5 in English was pushed back from May to December. I'm glad it's just delayed and not canceled 'cause this is definitely one of my favorite series. |

| Fullmetal Alchemist 2 Opening |
[Apr. 9th, 2009|07:28 pm] |
For some reason I thought it would be fun to try and translate the opening song for the new Fullmetal Alchemist anime. So I did. Here's my current version. The romaji lyrics are from Funimation's release because I'm never sure of the correct way to break things up, heh.
Kono omoi wo keshite shimau niwa... I still have a long life ahead of me;
...mada jinsei nagai deshou? ...(long) enough to erase this feeling, right?
Yarinokoshite'ru koto... Because I want to try and redo...
...yarinaoshite mitai kara ...the things I've left undone
Yume no tsuzuki oikakete ita hazu na no ni I was supposed to be chasing the continuation of my dream, but
Magarikunetta hosoi michi ni hito tsumazuku I stumble over people on this narrow winding road
Ano koro mitai ni tte modoritai wake ja nai yo It's not that I want to return to how I was back then (alt: It's not that I want to return to the past)
Nakushite kita sora wo sagashite'ru I'm searching for a sky that I've lost
Wakatte kuremasu you ni I pray you'll understand
Gisei ni natta you na kanashii kao wa yamete yo and stop making that sad face as though you've become a victim (alt: and stop making that sad face as though I've hurt you}
Tsumi no saigo wa namida ja nai yo Sins don't end with tears {alt: tears don't make up/atone for sins)
Zutto kurushiku seotte'ku n da The pain is borne forever (alt: the pain is always there)
Deguchi mienai kanjou meiro ni... In this labyrinth of emotions that seems to have no exits...
...dare wo matte'ru no? ...who am I waiting for?
Shiroi nooto ni tsuzutta you ni... ...motto sunao hakidashitai yo As if into a white notebook... ...I want to spew more honestly {alt: I want to express my true feelings [out loud]... ...as easily as writing them into a white notebook)
Nani kara nogaretai n da What am I running from?
...genjitsu tte yatsu? Is it reality?
Kanaeru tame ni ikite'ru n datte I'm living so that it will come true
Sakebitaku naru yo Kikoete imasu ka? I want to shout (it) Can you hear me?
Bunan ni nante yatte'rarenai kara Because I can't play it safe (thanks to depyon for this line)
...kaeru basho mo nai no ...and I have no place to return to
Yasashisa niwa itsumo kansha shite'ru I'm ever thankful for your kindness
Dakara tsuyoku naritai (I'm on the way) It's why I want to become stronger (I'm on the way)
Natsukashiku naru It will become nostalgic (alt: It's become nostalgic)
konna itami mo kangei jan and I welcome this pain
I love discussing translations so any comments and/or corrections are welcome. |

| 2008 Almost Over... |
[Dec. 9th, 2008|08:55 pm] |
Well, nearly the end of another year...
A lot of rough roads for my friends and family in 2008, the most monumental of which being my dad's sudden cancer diagnosis and death this summer. But we're all trudging forward. It's hard to believe 2009 is only a few weeks away. As always, it will be interesting to see what that year unfolds. |
