Thanks to all the donors this month, but we still have yet to hit our target.. Here’s a poll for today. Changed the groups for 11eyes, since the previous lot we had were a mess.

And have you all read our favorite talkative, chatbox-hogging (just kidding ;P) admin,Z.N.Singer’s fanfictions yet? It’s amazing! His Fate/Time Spiral is epic, which you can read it here. If you have not, go take a look, especially if you like the Fate/Stay Night.

Long day at work tomorrow, so will sleep now. But not before I post the updates for you all to enjoy~

Is it just me, or Inuyasha doesn’t seem to talk/sound like he used to. ANN says they are using the same voice actor, maybe he forgot how after such a long time? O_o But after so many years, guess it doesn’t really matter anymore.

Anyway, some of the shows I’m watching this season, which would be my recommendations. ^^b Kimi ni Todoke, Sasameki Koto, Nyan Koi, Kobato, and Darker Than Black S2. Especially Kimi ni Todoke, was very refreshing to me. Best new series so far. =) To Aru Kagaku no Railgun is surprisingly watchable, after the mess of Index.

Half way through Pandora Hearts now. Not bad actually. Chibi representations of the characters always keep me hooked. XD Oh yeah, the main reason why I’m writing this, updates. Hai-yo. And please vote for the subs too.

UPDATE: I missed the Sora no Otoshimono poll, and 11eyes is at a tie now too. So please continue to vote for these two. ^^;;

All three titles I mentioned above were good to watch though, especially Gankutsuou aka. The Count of Monte Cristo. Wasn’t expecting the mecha part, which was a nice added bonus. I like the fusion of the old-fashioned and futuristic setting. Somehow fits perfectly well in my head. After watching this, should I read the original book the anime is based one?

As for Hatsukoi Limited, I like Enamoto and Kusuda’s story. Probably because it had the most airtime to develop. At least they kept it at 12 episodes, 24 would have been too draggy and spoiled the whole thing. Tanaka Rie’s character, Yamamoto Misaki didn’t really do much in the show, was disappointed. I haven’t heard her voice acting for some time anyway, so it’s alright. =D

Paranoia just kept me eerily hooked on the chair right til the end. Skipped the Opening and Ending all the way since it would have probably loosen quite a number of (extra) screws in my head. I remember laughing at some parts at the 2nd half of it, but can’t remember which part or what it was about now. Uh, right… Put this off for quite some time, but wasn’t as eery as I envisioned initially. =)

Thanks to all who participated and voted in the poll. At least now I know it’s working and will be able to continue using it. More polls then? =D So, the winner for our first poll was Underwater’s subs. So I’ll be removing Banzai’s.

Now that that’s settled, on to the updates.

Towards the end of Witch Hunter Robin, felt like it keep getting messier and I just got more confused. Black Lagoon was just the kind of anime to take my mind off work. Loads of weapons and carnage. =D Either way, both of their endings left me hollow (in a positive way) and wanting for more. I ended up filling the gap with snacks. ^^;;

Next up in my marathon list is Gankutsuou. I’ve watched the first episode, it seems rather promising so far. And I’ve also added Hatsukoi Limited to the list cause I just found out Tanaka Rie is in the voice cast. Yay! 12 episodes of mushy love stories, hmm, should be good.

No picture of my Nendoroids this time. I’m crossing the borders towards sleepyland as I type. Will put more pictures if I find or take any more interesting ones. Or do you prefer just plain text…?

I’ve got here a brand new shiny poll, hopefully it works this time. Been trying to get one working for… since the site was up. =.=” Please put in your 2 cents into the poll, thanks! I need to find the answer, and I need to find out if it works properly too.

Oh, not forgetting the reason why I was posting this. Enjoy!

Can someone please explain to me the 2nd season of Suzumiya Haruhi in relation to the 1st season? I’ve only watched the first episode, and can’t make heads or tails out of it. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

And here are the latest bunch. More spicy wolf! Not sure if I like where the story is going, but for now Horo herself is a good enough reason for me to continue watching. ^^;; The ending song’s clip never fails to make me melt inside out.

Some of you might already know about all this, but I’ve just found out about it a moment ago. Guess I wasn’t that free huh, and when was the last time I made a post here too…? ^^;; This might not apply to all our Mac users, but those not using the newer Macs might benefit from it.

So, I’ve been having problems playing some of those sweet 720 and 1080 animes, and I’m using a MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo with a ATI Radeon X1600. It’s about 2 years old now, but it’s still not that crappy yet. The most ironic part is, I’m dual-booting Windows 7 RC1 on my MBP using Bootcamp, and the HD stuff plays fine there with CCCP and CoreAVC, what the heck! So I’ve been watching Tears to Tiara on Windows for the past few days… Bleh.

Finally, as i was searching around for some VLC skins and mods, when I came across an unexpected discovery! Apparently, someone else is creating an up-to-date version of MPlayer, called MPlayer OSX Extended! And I also rediscovered NicePlayer, which has been updated a lot!

So (the old) MPlayer, VLC and Quicktime with the Perian plugin has been my 3 main video players. Now I can discard MPlayer in favor of MPlayer Extended, and NicePlayer takes over Quicktime.

I’ve tried playing the same Tears to Tiara files that were choking my MBP with the older players, and now I can play them fine with MPlayer Extended and NicePlayer as well! Banzai! Have been considering upgrading to the newer Macs, but all those thoughts just flew right out the window. Heh.

Was tinkering around with the server yesterday, but all seems fine now. Will update the FAQ section with my new discovery later.

Oh, and if anyone will be going to Daicon tomorrow, I might just cross path with any of you and not know at all. lol. Have a great weekend, mina-san!
