Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu

I love this anime.  Not only did it have the best character, but it surprised me that it was actually semi-serious.  The rest of the Full Metal Panic! animes are also a must see.  Some of the most bizarre things happen in Fumoffu, but they don't seem related to season one or two.  I enjoyed this anime immensely.   I rate this anime a 4.5 out 5 stars.

Psychic Detective Yakumo

I really enjoyed this anime.  It was a great show with unique characters.  The premise was that the main character, Yakumo, was born with a single red eye which allows him to see 'spirits of the dead' or human souls.  Based in Japan, where the idea of spirits is more readily accepted than America, Yakumo deals with a lot spirits.  Hauntings, possessions, and 'living' spirits or astral projection.  Of course a girl is involved, Ozawa Haruka, who seems to complicate his life, but ultimately saves it.  I would recommend this anime to anyone.  I would rate this anime at four out of five stars.

Ayashi no Ceres vs. Battle Programmer SHIRASE

Ayashi no Ceres or Ceres: The Celestial Legend was a good anime, but it seemed to fall apart in the middle.  I stuck with it and finished watching this anime, although it took me over a month to watch the entire thing.  The premise was good and the ending was also very good, although it started slow.  This show was fantasy oriented and overall was about three out of five stars.

Battle Programmer SHIRASE or BPS was a fast paced anime.  Full of relevant and current ideas this show was very good.  Each episode was only about twenty minutes in length and segmented into three-part episodes, but the entire anime was tied together very well.  This show was realistic fiction oriented and overall was about four point five out five stars.

Personally, I would have liked to see more episodes of BPS to see where else they would have gone, but I guess that it wasn't very well liked, so they discontinued the show.

A really good anime!

So, my list of anime has grown slightly with a little over seventy entire anime watched and two ongoing.  A third if you count by seasons.  The meaning of this blog though is to draw your attention to an anime called Steins;Gate.  It isn't a typo, there are no spaces and yes; there is a semicolon in between the two words.

Premise: Time travel and time machines using pseudo-physics (physics, but not really good physics) and a number of interesting characters.

Timeline:  Around 2010, but other years are mentioned and portrayed.

Review:  This anime brought tears to my eyes by having an interesting plot, intriguing characters, making me laugh and using some really cheesy physics.  I did notice some errors, but argued with myself about how and why certain situations happened and why certain other situations didn't arise.  However, this by far was an enjoyable anime, regardless of the small technical errors, and I would totally give this anime a thumbs up, five stars, etc.

In short - Watch Steins;Gate and see for yourself why this anime rocks.

Knights of Badassdom

This new movie just seems hardcore to the core.  and I really don't care what other people think, this is a badass movie.  Like I said before, I am going to watch this till my eyes bleed.  I just hope that these aren't the best parts of the movie.

This is the link for the movie.

I am going to like this movie.

A little bit of Anime in my life

I am still watching Bleach, the story arcs tag me along.  I am totally invested in watching this anime.  Along those lines, my memory isn't the greatest and I don't watch anime every day, so I started a text document catalogueing what anime I have watched, and if it isn't finallized, what episode number did I leave off at.  So my list of watched anime is pretty good.  I've seen about 64 different anime.  This is only counting anime, no hentai.

List of Anime that was/is exceptional:

Bleach
Naruto:Shippuden
FLCL
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Trigun
GANTZ
Cowboy Bebop
Gurren Lagann
Gilgamesh
Mahjong Legend Akagi
xxxHolic
Samurai X

This is a short list of the ones I really enjoyed.  While all of the anime I watched was good, these I really liked.  I now play mahjong, the 4 person game, not the solitaire version that is usually on people's computers.   Some of these anime make sense, some don't (well, if you're normal anyway), but they do, at least to me.  So if you want to start watching anime, which is a great place to go if you are stuck with coming up with some kind of plot for your players in your game and random elements of fun.

Watching anime opens up different world's of possibility, different cultural ideas/plots, all in all, it gets the creative juices flowing in the brain.  Well, until the world opens up and swallows me whole, keep gaming and game safe.

Graduated

So now I am graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Physics, Mathematics and Computer Information Systems (CIS).  I picked up my fake diploma/degree on Saturday May 21st, 2011.  Now it'll take a couple weeks for me to get the actual degree in the mail since final grades for this last semester have not been reported yet.  All grades should be reported by this Wednesday.  And then next month on the 18th, I turn 32.  So, exciting how everything is coming together.  I quit smoking, so ...  yeah, that's good, but now I realize why i kept smoking all these years, boredom.  I am so incredible bored that I am writing on all my blogs.  I think I have like eight, but enough catching up.  I will now move onto other things other than how nerdy I am.  So, upcoming talks will be on some other blogs that are awesome like Han Solo and have stuff that I don't talk about because that's how I roll .... like a d6.  LOL  keep reading and i'll keep writing.
