~ everlasting sonata
Mentioned a few weeks ago, I went to watch random stuff on nicovideo. I was clicking links randomly and came across a hilarious anime. Short 10 minutes episodes. Now, I’m finally getting around to making my second post back so I won’t lie about being back.
Anyways, I think it is overlooked since everyone else is watching Code Geass like they’re on crack.
Penguin Girl takes elements from just about every source you can imagine, a satire. One of the hidden gems out of the cluster of crap out this season.
The cast is full of unique types. You have the main character, Sakura (Pen as a nickname), who happens to be a crazy otaku. She goes over the top when it comes to cosplay and anime or manga related stuff. A supporting role, Kujira, who is plays the tsundere type character. Chi, a lesbian who fights the tsundere for marriage or something, she talks in the third person and bares a resemblance to Chun Li. There’s one more but she’s sort of plain.
After a long 4 months, I have just finished the Persona 3 game. Just in time for the start of the Persona anime.
With high expectation to this relatively dark series. I couldn’t help myself by making this post.
Continue on for the back story of the game. So many spoilers…
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first watched this. It has been a few years since I watched the first one. When I first heard of the second season (of OVAs). I was thrilled. I enjoyed watching the first and I was wondering if they would try to do a different route. After watching it… I was disappointed. The animation isn’t up to par with the other eroge to anime out there… it sucks. And it is an alternative from the anime left off after Haruka gets released from the hospital.
THIS ANGERS ME! Many spoilers ahead!
Wow! I’ve had this entry queued for two weeks now.
I have a large list of anime I need to catch up. I picked up a few since my last post like that and dropped a few others that wasn’t mentioned on the list. Having getting hooked on DOMO and working out a leveling and build scheme for my future character is what has been on my mind lately.
I can safely say that I am behind at least 3 or 4 episodes in several series this season and having to pick up about 3 more full seasons of others. I cannot keep up with those hardcore nerd bloggers that do those single episode reviews. Damn you computer game addictions.
Possibly the fact that I’ve heard nothing from the blogging antenna sites I’ve registered for lowered my motivations. *shakes fists*
An anime adaptation of the running series of Persona game as been announced. Persona -trinity soul- is the name given to this anime. We’ve seen many video game to anime transitions and some were actually decent. Gungrave for example. I don’t think may people liked it since it was rather slow but I thought it was interesting. I loved the video game and so this should come as good news. The art style should be the same.
The anime is set a decade after the [Persona 3] game, and will center around three brothers in a future city where the dead have risen with their skins turned inside out.
Although it says that it takes place in a different city. I’d expect that characters from the game would play a role or at least make cheap cameo appearances. An older Ken? Sexy Mitsuru? We’ll see when it comes. Not much I can say about this since there is very little info about this so far. But I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for new information that is released.
I wonder if rate of suicides will increase after the kids start watching this and start shotting themselves in the head hoping to make their persona appear? … I doubt it but I think it’s funny to think about it.. until someone actually does it. Natural selection at work right there.
Anyways, it is scheduled to be aired in January. I have to check it out.. otherwise I wouldn’t be much of a Persona fan.
I will try to get back into posting more stuff after my midterm coming up next week.
Update: The main site is up!
