you could possibly not want to know about me. Have fun.
No set title! It's not just for Aya anymore. The phases are always changing... but still the same... |
Dissidiaaa
Tuesday, December 9, 2008 01:45 a.m.
I can't WAIT for the Dissidia PSP. Just 10 more days! I rarely ever spend my own money on consoles and games for myself (since the brother kept the household supplied and all), but this is truly a special case.
Btw, if you haven't watched the TGS trailer, watch it NOW!
Ohhhh, my childhood... =*) And it's not just Sephiroth this time. The pre-VII characters!! Cecil! Though I think Kefka is just a bit too screechy, lol. My favorite moment in that trailer was Golbez's and Sephiroth's exchange. *FANGIRL SQUEAL* Somehow this kind of fanservice I can embrace.
This is it. The big tribute to FF for meee!! How long has it been since my first with FF1? Could it have been the full 18 years? Should have, if FF4 came out the following year... (How the hell did the game end up in our house anyway? o_O games always just popped up, still a mystery) This series had such an impact on my tiny self and how my interests developed. This is so exciting, even if I never open the box and don't actually play Dissidia until July (but good god why would I want to play this English dubbed anyhow... I wonder if there will be subs for all the sequences to allow for a translated undub...).
Watching the end of that trailer gives me chills every time! I can't wait for the OST too. XD That bgm is kick ass. Man, I'm still such a kid.
And of course, I can't end this post without mentioning how freaking PERFECT Sephiroth looks in that elegant, longer coat. MAN I WISH I HAD A SEPHIROTH.
Very Merry Christmas for me!

I'm in a ranty mood.
I somehow found myself reading WK fic again. And somehow two out of the three YxA long, multi-chapter fics (that I was fucking enjoying damn it) have Schuldig show up way late into the story to make it a threesome. And like, serious relationship threesomes, too. They make no fucking sense. I don't think any kind of threesome with any characters will ever settle well with me. Not only is it hard to buy into, the whole precarious balance of threesome-mechanics of always having to make sure everyone gives and gets equal attention in all things is fucking tiring.
It doesn't help when one of them had made a big stink in expressing the ol' "I'll never love anyone else as much as I do you" and "I don't need anything else" either. And it doesn't help that I'm sick of fanfic-Schuldig, which I think I may have mentioned before. It's just annoying when you invest all that time and attention reading over 15 long chapters (over 30, in one of the instances) of something and then have it whack out on you out of nowhere. I think these are examples of "ruining a good thing" by dragging it out too long. Like the dying out of popular anime series. I understand not wanting to let go of something you really love, but if you've written the story you were going to tell, just end it before it goes off in a tangent to arrive in WTF Land. Just start a new, separate damn story, so I can choose not to read it without feeling cheated.
But I guess it's probably more well-received than it is criticized by people like me. Everyone loves Schuldig and he can only make a story better and zomgSchuSchu!
On a less ranty note. I watched FF7AC a couple months ago. Has it been months? I dunno. But it was good, I liked it. =P POSSIBLE SPOILERS WARNING FOR THE REST OF THIS ENTRY. I dunno if it met my expectations, since I did my best not to have any. However, I was SO happy to see that they changed some of the facial rendering of the characters from the original trailer. I remember I had bitched up a storm about how much I hated Cloud's chin, and the inconsistency of the annoying pop idol faces, after I first saw the TGS trailer. I was very relieved to find that they redid Cloud's face and he looks much more like the original animated version rather than an "if he were a real person" version. And it was all just very nice. Though I didn't really like that rendition of Sephiroth. Crisis Core Sephiroth is way better.
It was too bad some of the scenes from the trailers didn't make the final cut. A couple were really cool and I had been looking foward to seeing them in context.
Did anyone else think Kadaj looked like creepy clay-mation at several scenes? Tifa had a couple of moments like that too. Where their face just seems to totally lack depth, in comparison to everyone else. Kadaj's proportions were weird sometimes too.
I didn't like Crisis Core Cloud, but me likes AC Cloud. =) I liked Aeris' role in the movie, and I LOVED the scene with her and Zack at the end. One of my favorites, probably due to Crisis Core's influence. I'm so glad I played CC before watching AC. That scene held so much more meaning to me.
Why did they make Tifa look like a total airhead then? They're never gonna make me like her...
And yep, I like Yazoo the most out of the trio. He didn't get his own fight scene. =/ Oh well, maybe it's better off. I might have liked him less if the scene revealed him to be different than how I perceive him now.
The humor thrown in was a bit off. It always took a second longer for it to register to me, because it just kind of shows up at weird times. Like when Vincent sweeps out his cloak to show that he doesn't have a phone. o_O
Little things they included that I loved: them giving Yuffie a moment to gag, Cid's run, Vincent's big, pointy shoe-armor, and Cloud's sword spin. Best thing about them was that it was all done seamlessly during scenes, and not overtly "showcased" for the viewer (OT: X-MEN 3 was made corny in that respect).
Music: Was Awesome.
Edge City and Forgotten City settings were awesome.
Ending entirely with Cloud motorbiking on the road was great.
Wished Tseng had a real scene.
Rude was good. Reno was made too cutesy.
They made Rufus look too good for someone who should have died in an explosion and suffering from geostigma. What were those bandages for really?
There was no chocobo. wth?
Those were some awesome fight scenes. Loz and Yazoo team kick ass.
I love Vincent.
I love Sephiroth.
Even though he was Jenova!Seph and sported overly severe features.
That ending song is good, too.

CC is a very. short. game. wth. >_> I am unsatisfied! I want more =/ (and no, don't tell me go to play FF7). I didn't totally understand the story either. I'll need to replay the end.
But it makes me think about how villainy Sephiroth was handled (later..earlier..? whatever). They made him a part of this trio, but he didn't get the same kind of outcome at all. Course, that can't be helped, his stuff was all written before this stuff was. But it just makes me feel bad for him (and not just because he's my favorite :P - I don't need my faves redeemed). I won't say they didn't make any effort at all though. Like that flashback of when Sephiroth wanted to volunteer for Genesis' transfusion. That made me "aw =(." And his face when he was pulling Jenova from the reactor. Even though he'd already "lost it" then, it was a pretty sweet face.
Oh well. So with Genesis' appearance in DoC, it's all open for another sequel...
But the baffling question remains... why was Tifa wearing that cowgirl getup anyway?? Thought that was weird since FF7.
I really should watch AC now (THAT'S RIGHT I STILL HAVEN'T WATCHED IT LOL). But if I don't do so within the next 6 hours, I may never watch it. o_O
Sephiroth...
Sunday, June 8, 2008 05:21 p.m.
Ya know, I keep watching the Angeal/Sephiroth/Genesis training room scene over and over, and I still can't get over how fucking awesome it is. Just... awe. AWE. And when One Winged Angel starts playing, it's just, "O...M...G... *reverence*" He slices through that cannon like a sushi roll! It's all... gah! Chills! O______O (And so they need to have Angeal step in and smack us in the head before we make a complete mess of ourselves) He's so fucking awesome. FUCKING AWESOME.
Course, I'm playing the Undub. It's the only. Way.
Saturday, May 31, 2008 06:25 p.m.
Sephiroth's eyelashes are so thick and long and pretty in Crisis Core. They're clearly intentionally emphasizing on them; just too dramatic to look natural. The training room flashback of the Trio... =d It was necessary to log in after 6 months of not posting just to say this.
That fanclub email about his hair and shampoo just killed me. 10 different scents... :3
Seph is just so, so pretty!! I dare say, more so than Genesis... *struck down by lightning*
(At least I got Zack to join the Genesis fanclub. That's farther than I've gotten in real life.)
I'm Not Dead...

...just floating...
Well, yes, I guess I'm still around. Sort of. And I'll just pretend that stuff below doesn't exist as long as I can.
So, the Gackt screening on Saturday at the NY Anime Festival is preceded by something called "Bloodhound: The Vampire Gigolo." I'm sure the organizers think they're very clever.
Question to myself is, will I be there. I expect there to be a nice sized chunk of Gackt-hate along with the giant load of squealing, overzealous 14 year-old-fangirl-isms. Since they'll only be showing old video, I'd go mostly for atmosphere, and well...
Anyway, I think I may have listened to Redemption now more times than Mizerable, which is quite a feat, considering their respective release dates. Quite a feat...
Now, everyone who resents Gackt for being in Final Fantasy give me a nickel. So I can pay Squeenix to include the Japanese track on the US Crisis Core with subs.

There's some stuff going on that has me so stressed, I often can't even deal with being awake and conscious. I guess this goes to show what I'm made of - not much.
I've lost all appetite, I can't concentrate on anything, and it takes me forever to fall asleep, even though I want to so bad and I *feel* so tired. I've tried to take my mind off it, but it's so hard. Conversation, games, fics, television, nothing helps and I don't feel like doing any of it. The problem fills my entire mind and almost anything reminds me of it. It's hard to be optimistic when the situation just seems to plummet more every day. It's the worst at night, when I'm at home and I sit there and it's all I can think about, and think about, until I'm filled with dread, paranoia and despair over it. I have to force myself to eat. I know if I didn't eat, I could only feel worse. But I think I'm losing all the weight I had managed to gain lately.
This is probably something most people have had to deal with before, but I just can't seem to handle it. It's such a huge deal to me, the worry just tears at me. I wish I were stronger and not so afraid of everything.
Oddly enough, the only thing I've managed to feel any enjoyment in are crappy Prince of Tennis musicals. When I'm watching and paying attention, I actually feel good. Of course, every 3-4 minutes, my mind still reminds me of the problems, my chest and stomache instantly seize up and I'm feeling as though I can't breathe that well. But in those moments I can focus on the musical, I'm actually good.
But now I feel like vomiting up what I just ate. Why can't I deal with this? All this stress and worry getting to me solves absolutely nothing. Yet, I can't stop it from overcoming me. I can't stop feeling like parts of my world are falling apart, when it's hardly that dramatic at all. The most pathetic part is, the actual ordeal has barely begun. I'm just in the pre-emp time, and I'm nearly ready to break down.
I realize I'm probably going to come back and delete this later. This is like one giant reminder to make me miserable when I come back. And looks like my site's down. I can't deal with that atm.
Seems there's no more NARUTO filler
Friday, February 16, 2007 03:05 a.m.
So am I the only one who was not impressed with that new NARUTO anime release? I watched this 8 minute video of the beginning of what I assume is the episode on Youtube. IMO, it wasn't good. I could tell they were trying really, really hard to make it all dramatic and riveting-like, but it just fell really short. I think the animation direction was lacking, or something. I actually found it boring, and I'd never even seen the entire scene in the manga before, though I did look at some pages of that part; and that actually did a better job of being interesting without the motion, effects or music. I'm all for Sasuke returning to the plot (or am I? Maybe not. It would be a way to remove my likes from my dislikes, wouldn't it?), but even that wasn't enough to make that new animated scene work. Kyuubi also looked like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon. But I guess for fans who've had to suffer through endless episodes of filler, they'd enthusiastically appreciate just about any kind of improvement. >_>
Oh well, Naruto (the character) is still shit and I still can't stand him and I haven't watched an episode in well over a year, if not two, by now. I've lost track. Spoilers don't mean anything to me anymore, not after the devastating one that ruined Itachi's arrival for me, and me having given up on the series like I had said I probably would back when I began it.
Even my favorite fan sites are shut down, so it's hard to even follow it just for specific characters like I used to. The only thing that seems to be keeping any interest alive for me is Itachi & Kisame, as I'd like to see/hear more of what they get up to. I think enough time and care has past that I can probably pick out their episodes to watch now. Though I don't think the bitterness will ever disappear... o_O
I had more interesting things to say, but I'm getting very tired and feeling more and more apathetic about it. Maybe next time.
One of those trivial things that get you really fucking pissed off.

Like when someone continually takes your (expensive) pork jerky to eat without asking, and not ever bothering to seal the bag properly afterwards, causing the jerky to become hard and dried up and pretty much not worth eating anymore.
Fucking shit. But I guess it's compounding since she's already been pissing me off the past few weeks on more serious matters.
ETA: Well, this certainly makes me feel a bit better. :)
ETAA: Good god, I think this one is even cuter. The dancing! Tooo adorable. I love Kisame and Itachi duo. =^_^=
Death Note seiyuu

The Tenimyu actor (Miyano Mamoru?) who plays Fudoumine's Ishida voices Yagami Light!? I had no idea! I guess he did showcase his talent for us in that skit with KENN, hahah!! He's awesome.
And Ryuk is voiced by the actor who played the Japanese fighter in Fearless. XD Impressive.

Very good. The promotions made it seem like the story setting would be more faery-based than it was, but still, very good.
