Well, back from vacation. I love going back to work from vacation. Something always breaks. I'll spare you the tedious details, but a lot of shit definitely broke this week (and on my first day coming back too ffff).

Ahahahaha, I think I lost a lot of my viewership for the artblog after not updating for like. A month. fffff



Ah, the joy of high speed internet... which I had while I was on vacation. So I spent that time getting acquainted with my new ship and fandom... which while pretty quiet in the English side of fandom, is a raging mass of OH GOD PRODUCTIVITY on the Asian side.

First up, stuff from Nico Nico:

Soul Eater ep 21 ending parody starring ChikaNari

Mini SenBasa style, Chika and Nari get trapped on an island--with some other guests fff.

Ieyasu & Honda; whoever did this vid must've taken animation courses or is a student. Very interesting to watch for that, but beyond that OMG SO FUCKING ADORABLE D:!

Mocking Nari's missing from the current aniBasa covers [Chika still gets the butt end orz]

MMD-style without being a MMD: oft-done-to-death plot of the Sengoku boys being reincarnated in a modern time (Gakuen) ChikaNari

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13404200
ChikaNari, includes one of the most thinly veiled sexual references i've ever seen in the omake part
Also hilarious Masa interjection (cute darou indeed fff)

I also went and proceeded to bookmark 177 images at pixiv for Basara in general (and only 62 of those are Setouchi!). Compare that to the paltry 58 images I bookmarked for BlazBlue... course, the two fandoms have a huge gap of productivity and uh... artistic proficiency...

UNRELATED TO ANYTHING ANIME OR GAME, Sha has shown me this: Kids Confronted with Tech not even 30 years old
God. How old does this make you feel? ffff

Back to anime and games.

I also binged on over 60 eps of the anime Fairy Tail. The main reason I wanted to watch it was because sexy sexy Nakamura was in it... as well as Kakki. It's like DOUBLE COMBO OF AURAL DOOM! That said, it's pretty typical shounen fare. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, but what it handles, it handles well enough. The arcs are fast-paced (unlike a lot of shounen series), most of the cast is likeable (the first person I actively disliked from the protags is the moeblob Wendy), there's fun to be had for the gals and the guys, and there's Gray and Erza.

Oh man, Gray and Erza.
Oh man, Gray. Those pants hang waaaaayyy too low for his own good.

And Loki too. Especially when he dons the suit. oh my

.... *wipes chin*

Anyway, the main problem I have is that obviously the mangaka learned from Rave that having a minimal cast can be pretty boring, so now he throws so many characters into the foray that I'm like D:!!1 Especially since I have a perchance of liking the supporting cast more than the main people. Also. SO MANY EXPYS. FFFF!! I mean, hell, even Plue is in it.

It was fun at least. Wasted a lot of time.

Saw some new webshows: Two Best Friends Play... [Kirby's Epic Yarn vid is SO TRUE gawd] & How It Should've Ended.

And then we just hung out a lot and played Basara quite a bit and yeah. My vacation!

I also recorded this bit of Keiji's jawesomesauce taunt for [personal profile] kuromitsu. Unfortunately, the audio syncing is off--this is a problem with the vid and not the game. Also included his third Super Art and the Diplomacy of Love cancel for it.

i walked by the ice cream section... and imagined hazama snake ice cream like the old ninja turtle heads with the bubblegum eyeballs. ...but cuter.
