In commemoration of ore-sama's return....

Yea, I saw Yuzu's post on the summer anime.  I also did a summer anime review for my college publication, so I thought I'd just copy/paste it onto here, as an, um, omiyage, I guess?  Even though I didn't go anywhere...I mean, I did leave, but...oh screw it wtv, anyways here it is (kinda outdated by now though.... O_O)

In all seriousness, I found this season to be quite disappointing.  For example, there was Blade, another Marvel hero forcefully thrust into a Japanese background.  However, this adaptation doesn’t work; the separation between Western cartoons and Japanese animation is way too different for this collaboration between Marvel and Madhouse to be successful.  There was also Uta no Prince-sama. Some girls might have liked it, but I personally couldn’t stand the reverse harem setting and the glittery, super-dreamy animation style.  Yuru Yuri tried to tag onto the daily life genre that K-ON! and A-Channel popularized, except it had so much yuri fanservice that it just became ridiculous instead.  No.6 had an interesting premise (it was literally an illustration of the Marxist theory of an elitist society at the expense of a mass of society “trash”), but the deus ex machine entrance of Elyurias took all the meaning out of it.  There were many others but I can’t find any complementary comments to give.  Overall, it was a very disappointing season.

I only found two worthy of recommendation.  There’s Ikoku Meiro no Croisée, which is about a really cute Japanese girl trying to get used to life in France, getting to meet new people and coming in touch with the local culture.  I found it very quaint and charming, a perfect accompaniment to a cup of afternoon tea by the windowside.  The other one is Usagi Drop, a series about a little girl who was adopted, and how she and her 30-year-old stepfather tried to communicate and get along with each other.  This one was lovable and ‘awwww’-worthy; watching it would have you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

Well, if you want more awesomeness, you’ll have to wait until next season starts.  Then there’ll be Shana and Working and Ika Musume and Bakuman and Fate/Zero and school uniforms galore!  …woah, I so didn’t say that last one.

Yuzuru is BACK!!!!!

TADAIMA~~~!!!!!  Ok see I still don't have a lotta time on my hands, but every once in a while I'll just burst in and interrupt everyone's daily life with random rants or philosophical comments so minna, aratamete, yoroshiku onegaishimasu~~~!!!!!!

Yuzu's Summer Anime '11 Overview

 So, within the first month of the new Summer anime of '11, I've pulled up this beautiful (not really) blog for you guys to read about what I've been watching, and suggestions if you might wanna watch it, or if you read this, and you do watch it... so. mull about it, and see if you like!
On with the show :D
((It is a little rushed, as you can see, but exam time IS coming soon, so hopefully I'll be back with some new things~~ ))

Ikoku Meiro no Croisee

 The story takes place in the second half of the 19th century, as Japanese culture gains popularity in the West. A young Japanese girl, Yune, accompanies a French traveller, Oscar, on his journey back to France, and offers to help at the family's ironwork shop in Paris. Oscar's nephew and shopowner Claude reluctantly accepts to take care of Yune, and we learn how those two, who have so little in common, get to understand each other and live together in the Paris of the 1800s.

Yuzu’s Overview:

We’re in about the 5^th episode so far, and I can honestly tell you I’m lovin it. (Like McDonalds ;D )) I’m absolutely loving Yune, and her adorable chibi Japanese girly aura, and Claude. The way he’s drawn and animated in the anime looks so much like Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle with blond hair is INSANE. Instant love. Not to mention the completely sweet moments that Yune and Claude Claudel (Seriously, that’s actually his last name) have, despite the total age gap.

The other old pervert looking guy in the background is Claude Claudel’s uncle, as his parents died, and he is the one who brought Yune to Claude. ( ITS TRUE LOVE FOREVER, I SWEAR IT. ) and the blonde  girl is this Oriental loving wannabe.

Guess what?  Yeah, a review for another PS2 game! Yay! It wasn't called the best selling console of all time for no reason. XD

MAI WAIFU.

So... I picked up this game pre-owned at Gamestop EBGames for 17 bucks (am I doing it rite?) and it came with a bonus 'get it free for 17 bucks' 45 minute "anime dvd" to sweeten the deal. (Why buy one disc when you can have two? Asian ideology ftw) Both disc and manual were in pretty good condition (not much scratches no obvious tears etc...), which was a good sign.  ^____^ 

Fanta Bottle.

okay... now that thats over and done with, ive been away from internet and technology for a few weeks (finally back :D ) with nothing to do so me and my brother whip out the old PS2 and start playing games and OMFG I AM ADDICTED TO THIS ONE GAME IT IS LIKE THE BEST EVER!.Its so simple and I love it. its called ESPN WinterXGames Snowboarding.

made in 2002 I know and yeah so the aim of the game is to compete in many different forms of snowbording  competitions and do like awesome tricks but heres the thing, its not the whole , complex amount of buttons oh wow you did a grab!, not its just tilt the thing back and wow its a fricken backflip :O.
so the different things you can do is, like, racing, half-pipe and slopesyle and yada, anywasys long story short, super fun.

another cool thing is the characters you play as are like, real people, and real snowboarders going down to even the tiniest detail such as where they live to what snowboard they use.

and to top it all off the graphics aren't that bad for 2002.

so now that ive finished wasting your time by talking about some game on the PS2 I hope you will now go and playy it and see what I have been rambling on about :P
