Finally started watching Gurren Lagann, I'm so behind the times. At first I wasn't sure if all the hype surrounding it was warranted, then it got really good around episode 8, and it got super good around episode 15. I'm at 18 now, and damn, Rossiu is turning into a douche. I love him though. :D

Anyways, the most important thing about the series is that Adiane is probably my favorite anime girl since Cornelia. Soooo sexy, why couldn't she have more screen time? :_: I now begin the search for fanart of her banging Viral in the ass with her tail...it has to exist! >_>

Is it bad that I immediately recognized Kamina's dad's voice as Akio's from his three lines or so of dialogue? I wish he had more screen time too, just to hear him talk. XD And Cytomander is Sakumizo(sp?) from Mai-Hime/Otome...every time he opens his mouth, I picture a fat guy with an afro. -_-

New Suikoden game is fun too, even if it's outside the normal continuity and the voice acting is pretty bad. It's already my favorite RPG for the DS, and I only have about 40 SODs at the moment. I love Sisuca, I love Chrodechild, I love Zahra and Eunice(kind of a Lloyd/Cecille thing going on), and the Porpos-kin are brilliant designs(I bet they taste delicious too). Best line:

Liu:"Can I cuddle up to you anyways?"
Cougar:"Watch out, I bite."

I bet you do. :D

Keanu Reeves is playing Spike in the live-action Cowboy Bebop movie. This frightens me. :/

WHY IS THERE NO US RELEASE DATE? OR EVEN CONFIRMATION THAT IT'S COMING? :(

I'M IN DESPAIR! THE LACK OF LAYTON IN MY LIFE HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR! I AM GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWALS...EVERYTHING IS REMINDING ME OF PUZZLES.

So I dreamed during a nap today that I was watching the Phoenix Wright live action tv show. It was kind of disappointing overall(guy who played Edgeworth sucked), but then Franziska's mom showed up. And damn, she could give her daughter a run for her money. Fantastic ass on her, and hot German voice.

So now I'm in love with a character that's never actually shown in the canon. D:

Hot damn. I...I think I'm in love. <3

I knew they were going to puss out on this one, but Szayel comes out as a cloud? Seriously, WTF was that? And apparently showing a woman with wrinkled skin isn't allowed? Lame.

And Daily Show is apparently in reruns for the rest of the year. Why couldn't they go on vaction after the guy throws a shoe at Bush? Seriously bad timing, guys. :P

This is the third time in my life it's snowed here, and it's never been as thick as it is now. Good times!

I'm finally playing FFVI Advance, and generally I like the new translation(Cyan about to call Celes a bitch was amusing). And I'm glad they fixed the weird names from the SNES version(Sraphim/Seraphim, Atma/Ultima).

I just wish they hadn't changed Mr. Chupon's name to Typhon, even if it was the original Japanese name. I also missed Uncle Ulty's line about how they met("I woke up one day to find Mr. Chupon chewing on my head!"), but I don't know if they took it out, or if I just killed him before he could say it.

Konata x Patty roleplaying as Haruhi and Mikuru? Konata and Kuroi-sensei cybersexing? Anything goes in the ( Lucky Star Anonymous Kink Meme! )

As a child, I had several irrational fears, such as my belief that digging holes might somehow release Satan from Hell and destroy the world. But one of the strangest ones was my paranoid fear that people were secretly following me around with cameras, recording my embarrassing moments, and playing them on some secret tv show. >_> When the film The Truman Show was released, I was pretty shocked by how similar it was.

So I found this article in this week's The Week really interesting:

That modern-day scourge, reality television, has spawned its very own psychosis, says the Associated Press. A growing number of people with mental illness have the delusion that they're being stalked by reality TV cameras. Dr. Joel Gold of New York's Bellevue Hospital calls it the "Truman syndrome" after the Jim Carrey movie "The Truman Show," in which every person in the lead character's life is an actor and every moment is being broadcast to an unseen audience. In one case, a man walked into a government building and asked officials to arrest the people who were filming him without his consent. In another, a patient believed he was a contestant on a secret game show and that everyone and everything he experienced was a part of that show. A third patient became convinced that he was living in the computer-generated virtual reality depicted in the film "The Matrix." Psychiatrists say it's not that reality TV or films are causing people to become mentally ill; they're just providing a new template for delusional people who might, at some other time, have insisted that the CIA was monitoring their thoughts.

So while I am insane, I can take solace in the fact that there are others who are at least as insane as I am. :)

And speaking of insanity, Bleach 198 was pretty fun. Way too much time spent on recaps and the Byakuya stuff was kind of blah, but it got really good as soon as Ashisogi came out. I LOVED the music that started playing, and the little crying baby sound effect. Szayel's horror as his body deteriorated, with Mayuri just standing there smiling, and that final POV shot(GULP) - great sadistic fun. :D

I don't look at anime blogs any blogs, but I was searching for Asakura Ryoko pics and stumbled upon this delectable tidbit about my knifey-wifey:

the yuri content of Ryoko’s creepy stalker Shizuru-like crush on Yuki in the fourth novel, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

She comes baaaaack. :D And canon Ryoko on Yuki? *fapfapfap* I've never read a book on the computer before, but now I don't have much a choice, do I? ^^

"Hueco Mundo is a treasure trove!"

It was everything I wanted and more. Of course, I really just wanted to hear Mayuri-sama's voice, but the episode was really good. Mayuri-sama and Szayel both looked and sounded very beautiful(Mayuri's voice actor could read the phone book and make it sound sexy). And the extended view of their confrontation was most appreciated. The manga never showed Dondo & Pesche during the fight or Szayel creating the doll, so that was nice to see. Loved the added dialogue too, especially Mayuri's line at the end.

Some of the bits with Kenpachi swinging his sword around were kind of tedious, but the stuff with Yachiru more than made up for it. I need an animated icon of her kicking Ichigo in the face now.

My one real gripe: in the manga, Uryuu and Renji were collapsed on the ground the whole time. Y'know, due to their organs being destroyed? Here, they're standing up and chatting pretty well for people who've just been crippled. >_>;

The latest round of fillers ended and Mayuri-sama will be showing up soon, so I started watching the Bleach anime again for the first time since the "Mayuri-sama's naked ass" episode. And I was quickly reminded why I stopped watching it in the first place. Slow pace, uneven and often shoddy animation, and really stupid unnecessary edits.

I can forgive things like giving Kuukaku a prosthetic arm or covering up Soifong's thong, but what the heck happened to the scene with Szayel eating his subordinate? That was by far my favorite Szayel moment in the manga. And if that was too "dark" for the anime people, I dread what they'll do with the tentacle impregnation scene later on. >_>;

I know some people say that blood and nudity and whatnot don't matter and that the series is just as good without them...but those people are pussies. :P

What the fuck was that?

Awesome game, but seriously, what the fuck was that?

Ryoko figma looks gorgeous, but where the heck is her knife? I mean, Kyon comes with a freaking video camera, but Ryoko doesn't have a knife? Shameful. This caught my eye, though:

"Included in the various hand parts that allow you to recreate the battle scene between Nagato, this includes hand parts that interlock with Nagato."

Does that mean she gets the sword arms she used to skewer Yuki? I'd happily buy a special blood-soaked Yuki if that's the case. :D

The extra heads to make Taniguchi and Kimidori are a nice touch, and I hope they do something similar for Lucky Star so we can get the minor characters like Misao or Hiyori.

Figmas are so much fun, probably my favorite line since Marvel Legeds. I just wish more series got this kind of treatment. I would love to see pretty much the entire casts of Utena or Bleach or Rozen Maiden get figures of this quality.

Dammit Figma people, how the hell can you make a second Yuki and a Tsuruya before Ryoko? I mean, no offense to Tsuruya, but what the heck does she ever actually do? I want my Knifey-wifey. D:

Also, please make more Code Geass figures. Like Cornelia, season 2 Cornelia, and swimsuit Cornelia. Please?

When I'm feeling blue, I like to watch my favorite Bleach episode. Watching those people explode warms my heart every time. Today I finally got around to watching it dubbed, and it's not bad. Nemu and Ishida sound good(Ishida's screaming in pain is great ^^), and Mayuri-sama's actor actually does a pretty good job. There are a few parts that bug me, like when he yells out his rank and name(very un-Mayuri-like), but he does the "it hurts, it hurts" bit and the classic line "it'll be as easy as strangling a baby" very well. The absolute best part is when he's hitting on Orihime, though. "I'm always very gentle...with the ladies." Oh, I bet you are. >_>;

I got the Code Geass DVDs the other day, and watched a few parts of that dub to see how my two favorite characters sounded. Lloyd's voice is a huge disappointment because I liked the actor who plays him as Lezard in Valkyrie Profile 2. Here, he lacks the...chirpiness(?) that Lloyd's original actor has, which is a shame because that's one of the main things that made me love the character. It's a hard performance to match, though.

Cornelia's voice, on the other hand, sounds pretty good. She says "Euphie" nicely. Brittaniacest <3

MGS4: Two weeks and three Acts in, the game has been awesome enough to distract me from the fact that the only other PS3 game I want is Disgaea 3. It doesn't hurt that I got a $100 Wal-Mart gift card for the bundle, which will of course go towards the upcoming BMF(Big Millenium Falcon) toy in July.

Does Otacon dress Sunny up in frilly maid clothes because he's a pervy otaku? Somehow I imagine her closet consisting of Japanese schoolgirl uniforms, nekomimi suits, and the like. I am happy that ( Spoilery )

Agggggghhhh! Hello, everybody in livejournal-land!

My name is Kevin, I live in Texas with my family and two dogs and five(!) cats! I like Utena and The Venture Bros. and art and video games and Star Wars action figures and bizarre two-dimensional porn!

I used to post under "lordkefka" after my favorite video game villain, and I switched to "rejectedstalker" because I like Lezard Valeth, Tomoe Marguerite, Albedo, Orochimaru, and other fictional stalkers!

I mostly just joined Livejournal to stay in touch with people I met on a Pokemon forum 9(!!) years ago. I haven't talked to them in awhile, though, you guys still out there? Recently I just come to post in communities and stuff.

I don't post here because my life is boring, so I'd mostly just be rambling about video games and stuff like the obsessive little fandork that I am. Like right now, the last battle in Disgaea PSP(never played the original) just kicked my ass! Motherfuckers turned my strongest character into a flower before the battle began, what the hell! :(

I'm posting this because Livejournal sees fit to keep giving me "Writer's Block" suggested topics every time I log in? The most recent is "What work tools could you not live without? So hopefully I won't have to see that anymore. ^^;

P.S. I find it incredibly amusing that "Livejournal" isn't recognized by Livejournal's own spellchecker. Their suggested replacements include "lovingly, longingly, laughingly."

P.S.2. As I was typing this, one of our cats just started peeing on the hamper where we throw our dirty clothes, a foot away from me. Such fun, this is why I don't post about my life at home! >_>;

I've gotten well into my FFXII second attempt, and it is a huge fucking game. It took me under 50 hours to beat FFX and X-2, even with all the crazy lightning dodging and other sidequests. I'm 58 hourse into this one, and I don't think I'm even close to beating it(I just finished Draklor). The longest a Final Fantasy has ever taken me to beat was 72 hours for my first FFVII playthrough...I'm guessing this one will top it.

Almost 60 hours in, and something is still bugging me: how exactly did Vaan become the "main" character? Was he sleeping with one of the developers? The heroes of the game are clearly Ashe and Basch(maybe Larsa too), and Balthier and Fran are more interesting and charismatic. Vaan just seems to be...there, tagging along.

I have also been wondering...since the female Seeq/Bangaa/Moogle/Nu Mou models are the same as the male ones, perhaps some of the Viera in the game are men? Or maybe futa-girls? >_>; I mean, they have to procreate somehow.

My new "Little Little Kitty" has taken to sucking on my nipple when I'm shirtless. It's cute and creepy at the same time. >_>;

So it seems my foot is broken, and it has been for the past two weeks. It was hurting for a week before I went to the doctor last Wednesday; he said it was probably gout but had me get an x-ray just in case. Today he called and said that he just got the results back due to Thanksgiving holiday, and I actually have a stress fracture.

I'm actually kind of relieved that it's not gout, as that's more longterm and potentially much more dangerous. It's just kind of lame that I broke my foot without actually doing anything exciting. ^^;

It's also a bit deja vu-ish. When I was 12, I fell off a ladder and broke my wrist(my dad was actually laughing at me when I was crying afterwards :P), but I walked around with it for about a week before seeing a doctor. It just proves that I'm very stupidtough, right?

In worse news, Austin accidentally destroyed my save data in FFXII. All hope is lost. :_:
