This April Fools post was indeed my personal sample venture into fanfiction writing. For a long time now, I've been wanting to write my own story, favorably in the style of Japanese anime and bishoujo games. Of course, there are expected challenges in this one. First and foremost, I'm not Japanese, so any culture references are just the usual (unusual) ones already found in existing Japanese anime, manga or games. Secondly, I have to write in English, which means I'm just emulating Japanese similar to the sometimes-wrong translation style in fansubbing projects. Lastly, I don't consider myself a good writer in the first place.
Despite this though, I still want to have the drive to do it. Whenever I see other people succeed, I always say to myself that I can do it too. I may not be as good, but at the very least, "get it done darnit", lol.
In this article I focus specifically on the characters, settings, and plot I envisioned on my own Miya Maruyama story. (more…)
I'm not usually into doujin visual novel games but this one's different. I mean, female anibloggers as bishoujo game charas? Where do I sign up? (more…)
Knowing about the true story of Sakura in anime form was unprecedented for me. Even if I had already skimmed the surface, I guess the tale can still be told effectively in another way. The most important part of the experience though, is that I can relate somewhat to the character. Yes, Yoshino Sakura's trials, tribulations and tragedies reflect my own set of current real-life problems. As a result, my heart breaks yet again for this fictional character, and in part, this fictional character gave me a source of reference, reflection and inspiration of myself. (more…)
Originally it was just some cute OP for a supposedly cute game, but for some reason it became one of the most parodied opening sequences ever! The good thing about it is the quality of some of those parodies. This is quite a hard piece to spoof, and yet many a MAD-maker proved to me yet again how much time and dedication they have in their hands. There's just so many of them out there, it's so hard to cherry-pick the good ones, so the ones featured here are some of my favorites. Searching for "kishimen" (or much better "きしめん") along with the name of the anime of choice, and chances are there will be one.

The virus that spread like wildfire. IOSYS is famous for making flash animation shots to go along with their doujin music for Touhou, but this remains one of their most memorable work. Before the legend though, the theme was originally in Perfect Cherry Blossom, the seventh Touhou shooter game. Actually, the animation didn't make a lot of sense, neither does the song itself which is full of Engrish lyric mockery. Despite that, the song is a tremendous hit, and it may have kickstarted the once-limited doujin music industry into one that can take on the big guys. This song is still on my music playlist after more than a year. It's catchy, it's cute, and it's mindless fun.

I love the Kimikiss opening sequence with a guilty passion. Its simplistic style and catchy music just really made it for me… it's absolutely adorable! I'm quite sad that it didn't catch on as much as the other crossover meme spoofs, considering this is one easy-to-spoof video sequence for the video editing peeps out there who have much time on their hands. At least it has a handful of awesomely made videos to its credit. I hope you spoof video makers hear my cry for more Kimikiss OP spoofs. Come on, sing it with me: "Kiss kiss koishiteruyo~~"!

Quite busy these few weeks. Possibly until after holidays. Blog and twitter will probably be as lifeless as ever. Hope to be active soon. >>>2009/11/20
A bunch of 2's: DiRT 2 preordered. Still skipping Left for Dead 2. Enjoying Modern Warfare 2. Don't care about Assassin's Creed 2 yet. >>>2009/11/18
I guess they didn't expect the network to be bogged down. WELL DUH IT'S FREAKING PACMAN. >>>2009/11/16
Wasn't able to say it yesterday, but PLDT Watchpad was EPIC FAIL with the boxing match. It did run well in the days that I tried it... >>>2009/11/16
