Ok, so I’ve been having a bit of think about this site and what I’m going to do with seeing as I hardly ever post it. Bad times.
So I’ve decided to keep my portfolio site separate from this site and that way I don’t have to worry about holding back on weirdness and distressing any potential clients. Good times!
So back to errmm stuff. Got back from a awesome trip to Florida a couple of weeks ago. Was soo cool to see all of the family out there. But now I’m home, back in London, enjoying the cold wet Summer. lol
I brought back enough sweets to put me into a sugar induced coma
Being an anime fan I figured that I should probably talk about it once in a while, so I’ve decided that I’m going to do a seasonal mention about some of the animes that I have been following.
Kimi to Boku (Literal Translation – You and Me)
This series started airing in Japan since October adapted from the manga series by Kiichi Hotta. The series focuses on 5 central characters in high school. The girlish Shun, straight laced Kaname, Chizuru the excitable exchange student and the laid back twins Yuuta and Yuuki.
Inititally when I first started watching this series I thought it was a little slow but I loved the artwork style of the characters so decided to stick with it. As the series has progressed I have found myself starting to laugh out loud especially since Chizuru joined and watching him wind up Kaname.
There’s a in the 13th episode where they go back to their old nursery and Yuuki forces Kaname to play house with him and one of the kids. The awkwardness did crack me up.
The constant reference to cats is a bit weird but I’m guessing that a reference to the manga… perhaps? I’m sticking with it for now. Reminds me a bit of Hanasaku Iroha which I really go into in the end so I’m hoping ths will be the same
Fate/Zero
If you ever were a fan of Fate/Stay Night then you’ll really like this series. This one caught me a bit of guard as I wasn’t even aware this was coming up until it popped up on one of my anime hunts (yes I am a geek lol) .
There are some slightly new adaptations of some of the servants in this game and it seems to be set prior to Fate/Stay Night with some young versions of the older characters making brief appearances. There’s quite a lot of action but then some scenes are filled completely with dialogue. I think I prefer this to Fate/Stay Night so far and the animation is visually very impressive.
One to watch x
Guilty Crown
This series has had mixed reviews and to be honest I’m not sure what I really think about. Normally this would be the type of anime that would grab my attention as it has quite a lot of action but the more I watch it, the more annoyed I get. The series is set in the future in with Japan being occupied by a group called GHQ.
The lead character Shu has the ability to pull out and use weapons (voids) that are inside of people. Shu ends up working for a resistance group in Japan that fighting for Japan to re-gain it’s independence. Shu as a character is so moody and whiny that it makes it hard to like him or even accept him as the protagonist of this series. Even though, whilst saying that I do still find myself downloading each week and I’m not sure why….. Maybe I’m just hoping it’s going to get better as it’s normally the kind of anime that I go for… *confused*
And in other news…. Naruto fillers have finally ended so I’ve started watching it again. Hurrah! And Bleach is actually getting interesting again now it’s started to catch up with the manga. Good times.
I have decided that since my 30′s are now approaching (yes unfortunately most of my posts until I am 30 are going to be me moaning or chatting about me soon turning 30, after which point it will then be me moaning about 40 soon approaching lol), I feel the need to compile a list of things that I want to do before I reach 30.
I did actually make a list along time ago of things to do before I was 20 but half of those things were thought up when I was quite young and included things like:
Marry Keanu Reeves
Become a pink my little pony
And sadly most of those things were not achievable. lol
So this time around I’ve thought seriously about things that I want to and have included realistic things such as:
Winning the lottery
Global domination
All of which I am certain to achieve this time round
Some of the other things I have included are passing my driving test. Which thankfully I did last year, and I bought a little car which I have affectionately named Dorris. I think all cars should have names. I don’t know if all girl’s do that or if it’s just me. She’s a lil red VW Fox. What’s a Fox, I bet you’re saying. Well basically it’s the cheapest VW that you can buy so seemed like the ideal car for me lol
One other new thing that I have recently added to my list, is to either take part or organise a flash mob. I’ve taken big inspiration from this being a self proclaimed ninja, I feel this most appeals to me.
Ok now I’m not one to usually rant about stuff (that may be a lie), I do have a favourite to add to my list of annoyances…
Now lets set the scenario first. I’ve pushed the button to call a lift, the button lights up, you’ve SEEN me push the button, you’ve SEEN it light up. The lift is coming… But oh no quite clearly I have done this wrong and you feel the need to press the button yourself even though you just witnessed me doing it! What is up with that?!!
I’m sure I’m not the only one to have experienced this. Well weird and slightly annoying [/END RANT]
I’m actually quite keen to make a lil flash about this once I’ve finished redrawing my new caharcter models. Would be the first one I’ve done in about a year, but I think it’s worth doing. I’ve also found a backup of all my old flash animations so I’ll add those all on as soon as I can.
If you’re reading this…then howdy. You are on my new blog site Flash Afro and this is my first blog entry. Woohoo! I figured it was about time I shared all my random crap with the world so here I go!
