For those of you who don't know I frequently shop new egg for computer components, and I really do love the site. One thing about New egg is that they always look for an excuse to have a sale, so no matter how unrelated an occasion may be they will have a gadget sale just because there's a holiday.
Well Valintines day is coming up, so obviously they have a sale for the oh so unrelated occasion. Now when I think of new egg I think of gadgets, computer components, and deals on similar accesories.
However this time around I found This on the sale page...
I don't know what to say.

Vanish
Seeing as how I was a bit loquacious in my last post, I'll keep it short this time.
I'm a fan the Haruhi Suzumiya series, and I am looking forward to the new movie covering the fourth book entitled The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. Even though I'm far past this story arc in the novels, I still want to see it in motion.
This trailer may not be new but It still makes me giddy.

Fate
Some time ago back in the year 2004 there was a slew of memorable things happening in the anime related area of entertainment.
Ok, I'll drop the odd wording, and cut to the chase. Back in '04 type moon released a game called fate/stay night. The story was about a boy who was the soul survivor of a great calamity, and how at the age of 17 he was drawn into the re-occurrence of a hidden war involving magic wielders called magi. The game was infinity popular, and as a result it spawned several sequels, a manga, as well as an anime series that followed the original story. However I thought all of the hype had calmed down by the year 2006, as that was when the anime series was released. However I seem to be wrong.
I don't know what it is that has kept this game/anime/manga/story so popular for a solid six years now rolling into its seventh. I've watched the amine, read the manga, and above all played the game. While I have to admit that it is good I don't think that it deserves all of the attention it's been getting for years now. Regardless of my opinion though there's a new fate/sty night movie coming out fairly soon. Honestly this simply baffles me.
That being said I will admit that the soon advent movie (which is a retelling of the main story) is something I'm looking forward to. However the reason is not for the story. I'm looking forward to it for it's high quality art style. Usually when anything is in anime format, if a movie should follow at some point it is typically far superior in every way. Examples of this would be Ah! My Goddess or Escaflone.
After seeing the new trailer I am by all means waiting for the next incarnation of the story. I don't really know how to explain it, but the original fate story has some sort of pull to it. Though I'm unwilling to analyse it at current, I would bet that the pull is somehow related to it's cast of characters.
Well it looks like I've rambled enough, so I'll just cut off here.

Dusk
Back in the day I played a little game on the DS called Hotel Dusk, and it was kick ass. Now there's a sequel coming called Last Window, and I'm well anticipating it.
Not only was the story in the first kick ass but the visual aesthetic is different and refreshing. In Last Window the visual quality has been upgraded without losing the great gritty sketch effect that made the first game distinct.
GAME ON!

Murderer's Music
Just to follow up on yesterday's post, I thought I'd talk about the soundtrack of Assassin's Creed Two. In a word, it's beautiful. I really can't express how absolutely amazing the composition is for this game. It's a true experience to listen to, and it helped solidify the game's experience to an incredible extent. This is a soundtrack that instantly garners a position on my top ten list of best soundtracks ever.
I can quite securely say that this is a OST that I'll be listening to, for months to come.
-----------Ezio's Family----------------------Venice Rooftops-----------
I'm in a killer mood because of the beauty of these tracks.

Slayer's Style II
Just beat Assassin's Creed Two last night, and all I can say is wow. While not close to the most enthralling gaming experience I've ever had, it was damn good. It was worth every last cent I paid. Here's to hoping that the third one holds up to my expectations, and that the story truly comes full circle.

Blood Sucking Beauty
One of the long running Mangas that I've been reading is Rosario to Vampire, a story about young man who, in a desperate attempt to get into high school after failing his placement exams, enrols in a school advertised by a flyer which is dropped by a creepy man one night. On his first day he discovers the school is actually a monsters only academy where the supernatural creatures learn to control themselves and prepare to live with humans. However if humans are ever found on campus they are immediately killed to keep it's location a secret.
Now the entire point that I've brought this up is because of how it was turned into an anime at some point (a bad one I might add). Due to it's racy nature it was successful enough to warrant the production of a sequel (which was infinitely worse than the first).
Now being the type of person I am, I couldn't help myself and watched both seasons as they were being released. Understand that by no means was I impressed and I was neither entertained by either season, nor am I interested in seeing another. However there was one very VERY large thing about the second season that I found outstandingly good, and that would be it's intro sequence.
The high quality animation, fluid movements, obvious work that went into the choreography of the girls movements, and the cohesive style of the entire minute and a half opening blew me away. By no means did I expect to see such a well done piece of art to be used to set the tone for such a sub par show, which touts itself as little more than a fan service cluster fuck.
I don't know, maybe I'm being to critical but none the less the entire point is that the video below is a quality piece of work.
Also on a side note the youtube version has a slight problem with syncing and frame rate, so it's noticeably inferior to a full downloaded version preceding any given episode.
