du-du-du- Dunst!

I just don't know what to say, Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane from Spider-Man) did a video to the song "Turning Japanese". In order to do it she danced around Akihabara in a pink skirt with a blue wig on. Who would have guessed she's that type of person...

Retween R and H

So I ran across this story while reading articles on the Escapist earlier today.

I'm not certain of what to say. The gist of the report is that the man Christopher Handley was arrested for possession of child pornography. Only catch is that it wasn't what you would call full fledged kiddie porn, it was Lolita Hentai Manga. What more is that he was prosecuted for having a small portion of it, in comparison to his full hentai collection.

I just find it interesting, Japan is struggling with how to categorize Lolita hentai. If Japan is having trouble (the country that produces the stuff) than obviously America can't even comprehend how to handle it as anything other than flat porn. I'm not surprised he had Lolita manga being a hentai collector. Myself being a mainstream anime collector (non-hentai), know that it just impossible to avoid lolita, it's simply everywhere. So I can only imagine how bad it probably is on the hentai scene.

I'm not surprised by the trouble he got in though. If nothing else he was moving a form of pornography over international borders. Being a customs agent, I know that porn and international travel don't mix in any way, shape, or form.

ahhh, culture shock.

Valintine Techie

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.

I'm in a killer mood because of the beauty of these tracks.
