Been A Bit, Hasn’t It?

Posted by: Digma 2 @ 8:35 pm Share in Facebook

It has been forever and a day since I last said something on here… and for that, I apologize. I just felt like sharing some of my thoughts on a few things.

First, let me start off by saying I was pleasantly surprised with E3 this year, but equally disappointed. Microsoft had a very strong showing, with Kinect, the slimmed down 360, and… well that’s just it… I was excited with the hardware aspects of Microsofts presentation… but at the same time felt very unsatisfied. There was just something that didn’t really get me all excited… Nintendo on the otherhand, I have to say, was very impressive. I had pretty much given up on Nintendo, but that has all changed. Nintendo gave me something, truly Nintendo. After watching the presentaion, I was excited beyond belief. Several new titles I’m looking forward to. Oh yeah, and the 3DS. Going to be amazing. Sony… was like this movie release poster… it pretty much shows you what you already know… There was NOTHING, let me emphasize, NOTHING that Sony showed that made me the least bit excited. I was shocked to see that Gran Turismo 5 finally got a release date, but other than that… nothing thrilled me from that camp. And Ubisoft? That was just plain p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c. I could not believe how horrid it was. Overall, I was more excited about this year’s E3, than I was for last year’s.

Now on to another note… I WANT TO GO TO AX SO BADLY! Reason being… May’n? Nakajima Megumi? Horie Yui? Kitamura Eri? Could you have a better guest list? Plus there’s the sneaking suspicion that either Kanno Yoko or Sakamoto Maaya will be there with May’n and Megumi for their concert… maybe that’s just me. But yea, I hate that I didn’t find out that it was going to be THAT awesome until a month before, leaving no time for me to save near enough money to go. But, life goes on, and you always miss opportunities. -sigh- xD My anime viewing has dwindled quite significantly… I’m sooo far behind on series’ (And those reviews I was going to do… ugh!) So I have to play catch up sometime soon. Have been mainly watching though FMA, K-ON!!, Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, and Shugo Chara Doki! I finish Shugo Chara last week, and I must say I’m pleasently surprised by it. (I even started buying the manga D;) I first looked into the series I thought it was like really kidish… but it’s really not, and extremely good. Other than that, not been watching much. Been playing entirely way too much Final Fantasy XI though. Dx

So for now everyone, I must say oyasumi nesai!

New Music Being Added, Possible Forum Switch.

Posted by: Digma 2 @ 1:27 pm Share in Facebook


Just a real quick update here. Been pondering all morning about what should be done with the site, what could make it more attractive, what would draw people in, what exactly is Anime Courtyard? My initial goal for Anime Courtyard was to be a nice anime commuinty, where people could come, and talk about what they love, and hate in anime, ect. I feel that over the last several months, that goal has been forgotten, and abandoned. I still really want to have a nice community, with lots of people to talk with, and share with. But at the same time, I also want to have a website to go along with it. Only problem there is, what does the website need to have? I’ve posted on the Facebook group page, a topic of What can Anime Courtyard do? But alas, we have members on there, but no one cared to share an opinion. So, what we have is a webpage, with some neat pictures, a blog, a forum, anime radio, and an about us page. My thought is, why do we have people on the forums, but no one posts? What’s the purpose of being a lurker when there’s not much to lurk? Help us! xD

So, with that in mind, I need to discuss this with mario, but may possibly switch our forum software. I personally hate phpbb… it is, I don’t know… I do not like it. But like I said, need to discuss it. On the other hand of this topic that I got away from, monday evening I should have new music up on the shoutcast station. If you have any suggestions, or requests, let us know! as of right now, I look to add at least 10 new songs. (Mind you, my upstream connection isn’t the greatest on the planet D; )

Songs that may possibly get added are as follows:

Carry Me Away by Kagami Seira from Kaiba

Never by Kagami Seira from Kaiba

Light of Dawn by Annabel from Tatakau Shisho -The Book of Bantorra

Wonder Wind by ELISA from Hayate no Gotoku!! (op 1)

Chikaigoto ~Sukoshi Dake Mou Ichido~ by IKU from To Aru Majutsu no Index (ed 2)

One Way Ryou Omoi by Inoue Mirana and Nakajima Megumi from Kampfer

WANTED! for the love by Kitamura Eri, Katou Emiri, Gotou Saori, Makino Yui, and Chihara Minori fomr Needless (ed 2)

Holy Night by Kugumiya Rie and Kitamura Eri from Toradora! (“ed 3″)

Sekka no Shinwa -in X’mas mix- by KOTOKO

Okay, so that was 12, but still. We’re going to be adding in slowly as well, some Christmas music, as it is closing in on the fun Holiday season, so if you can help us with these pieces, that’d be greatly appreciated. For now, that’s all I have as I need to get ready for work here shortly. But stay tuned, cause we never know what the future may hold!

Ja ne!

Kämpfer Episode 7: After Thoughts

Posted by: Digma 2 @ 3:25 pm Share in Facebook


kampfer_07


Okay, after watching Kämpfer eps. 7, my thoughts have changed a little on the show. Let me just say after watching the first 6 episodes, I couldn’t really get a grasp of a possible plot, other than it being Guy can turn into a Kämpfer that so happens to have to be a girl, guy’s crush falls for the female self, and it’s almost borderline hentai/yuri/harem fun fun with some action-type school life yatta! So yea, there were some perk-ups of possible plot that have come up, but nothing major. So in episode 7, the girls spend a day at Rank… er… I mean Sakura’s house with all the Entrails Animals. Right right, fun fun. They start with a plotted game by Ranka… I mean Sakura so she can get the chance to “kiss” Natsuru, which fails epically, and she never gets the chance. After so, she proceeds to show off her Entrails Animals collection to the girls, which I find myself to be rather disturbing that she has such a collection… but none-the-less. After so, Natsuru’s childhood friend Mikoto drops by after searching the entire country for Natsuru, just to bring him/her some curry. So during dinner, the point of the evening is brought to light to Akane that Natsuru promised Ranka… Sakura that she/he/it/ugh would spend the night there, and she’s not very happy about it. During which Shizuku proceeds to dump curry on Natsuru’s head, forcing her to take a shower, to Sakura’s enjoyment. As Natsuru prepares for the shower, he realizes he had never taken a shower in his female form, and becomes rather embarrassed, and also the fact that Sakura keeps trying to peak in on him/her to maybe catch her naked. After finally deciding to get in the shower as his female self… he realizes just how big of boobs he has as his female self. Don’t know why this is so relevant, or why it took him that long to realize it… but they made a point to make sure you know. During the middle of his/her shower, sakura decides to sneak in and prepares to undress, where as she’s interrupted by Akane and explains that she’s just going to wash Natsuru’s back. Not happy with this Akane tries to talk her out of it, but to no avail as Sakura really plans to do it. In the middle of their little arguement, Mikoto jumps in prepared to do the “dirty work” as she really wants to get a peak at Natsuru’s “huge tits.” Yet again they make that an emphasis. After all that, the plan is for bed, where there are futons set up, and another argument starts as to who would sleep next to Natsuru. In the end, Natsuru ends up sleeping, alone in the Entrails Animals room… talk about disturbing… In the process of trying to fall asleep, Natsuru starts thinking about “how cute” Sakura was all throughout the day, and transforms back into a boy. In the middle of his little panic, enters Sakura to sneak into his futon. As he tries to distance himself from her so she doesn’t find out about him being a male at that time, she decides to be a little forceful.


kampfer_07_1


As she begins to really feel him, she doesn’t notice I guess when she around his crotch, but she notices the shorter hair, and is a little confused. Then enters the queen of vulgairty, Hocchan (Akane)!


kampfer_07_2


I’m not sure if I’ll be able to watch Toradora! and think of Minorin the same again thanks to Horie Yui’s role in Kämpfer. I kid. But yes, very vulgar, very violent. Then enters the possible lead to a plot! A white bracelet Kämpfer bust through the window, trying to fight Natsuru and Akane, but is ran off by Shizuku. After all that, the episode is pretty much over, and we are left to ponder what is to come, as the episode 8 preview really doesn’t display anything concerning this white Kämpfer… just that there’s going to be another date. Oh boy! . . . I want some plot action. Don’t get me wrong, the series cracks me up, probably more so from how far out there it is, but none-the-less, I still really enjoy it, and hoe to see some more plot development that could be there.

Thanks for reading!
