Been a year... more than a year... well life's been busy...

I had to take the communities off my friends page... wah... T.T I just can't keep up anymore....

But I still need a place to rant and fangirl... facebook isn't exactly the place to do that... so I guess I'm back to LJ...

Need to update sidebar... that'll be fun... not today tho...

What the heck am I doing at this hour.... ack.... >.<

I meant to write about Oct anime... but too bad I only managed to watch one so far. XD

That one I watched was: La Corda D'oro ～Primo Passo～, yes it's the Corda TV anime.

After watching the first episode, my feeling was a mixture of happiness and angst. XD

Happy for its quality which is above my expectation. (OK I admit Angelique TV really killed my expectation.)

Angst because now I know where KOEI is spending their money on... They obviously chose to give up on Ange TV and put more money in Corda. T_T My Shugosei-sama...

With that said, Corda is looking good. The bishes all look... pretty bishy... Story so far doesn't feel as stupid as Ange, and the heroine, appeared to be less annoying than Enju.

Tho Episode 1 might be too early to tell.

The other Oct animes I'm checking out:

Lots of good sharing.

(Special thanks to sentxd, who refered this list to me. :P)

On Saturday I received an email from paypal at mail.china.com account. In the email it said recently there have been a few failed login attempt from a foreign IP, so for security reason limits have been put onto my account. If I'd like to remove the limits, click on the below link and follow the instruction. Then under there was a link in the form of http://172.xx.xxx.xx/paypal/login?=submitblahbah The rest of the email looked very standard and legitimate.

I didn't think much of it then. I was just thinking: Wha? I have a paypal account? That's something I always wanted to make so I could pay SentXD on the FFXI discs... but for some reason I can't remember I never got it. I indeed had a paypal account a couple of years back, but back then I dont have the mail.china.com account yet.

So out of curiosity I clicked on the link, a paypal login screen showed up, I tried with an often used password, and the screen loaded with "incorrect password", I tried another one, same thing. That was when I felt a bit wrong because the other links on the page "Sign up" etc are actually fake links. Immediately I realized this is a hoax website.

Later I tried the real paypal.com, and soon remembered why I didn't get a paypal account: The sign-up page was as slow as hell it never opened up for me so I never could register...

Lucky me.

Now I should have realized the link was fishy... guess I haven't been attacked with anything for a long while and become off guard... ~.~;;

I didn't know. o.o;; (Well I'm out-dated for anime released in english. XD)

As I absolutely love this series now, I would recommend everyone not to miss it if you can grab it. (Especially for those Sengoku fans. :P)

If anyone who can read chinese is interested in reading the novel (which i think is even better than anime... but anime is very well made already.), I have 1/3 of the translation in Chinese. Ricvirzar, it is really a very good history novel, trust me. :P

My PC's sound scheme is now using Hayami Sho's voice, I like the Naoe voice says "Otsukaresama deshita. Oyasumi nasai." when PC's shutting down. XD

Leena asked me to update, so I just did. XD

I went to see it on Friday evening. :3

( I'll try not to give too many spoilers... XD )

劇場版｢遙かなる時空の中で｣制作決定！
詳しく-> http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/neoromance/info/

XD

I made this: X3
http://www.livejournal.com/community/j2kyu2005/

sentxd and I are going for Japanese Language proficienty Level 2 test this year. 7 months to go, and I don't think it's mission impossible. :3 According to sentxd's syllabus and calculation, if we cover one grammar per day, we'll be able to cover all grammar needed before the test. Vocab, reading and listening all shouldn't be much of a problem if we study a bit, judging from all the stuff we play, watch, read and listen to. XD

You are all welcomed to join the community.
If you haven't done the test and think it's too late to study now, maybe you could study with us, we'll keep a solid progress to make sure 100% of grammar and as much vocab as possible are covered. I'll also be posting very good resources I found off the Chinese websites. Chinese are experts in passing exams, so never under estimate those things. X3

If you just don't have enough interest, maybe reading some posts will make you more motivated...

If your JP level is not good enough for Lvl 2, you could always read it to enrich your capability (for better manga reading? XD)

If you've already done Level 2, please hop on to give us comments and share your valuable experiences! :D

NOTE: z

No smoking around HopeXD. Thankyou for your co-operation.

This is an email I received today... it may be boring to you, and it involves China-Japan polictical issues... so don't read if you feel you might be offended by it. o.o

( Cut to hide )

So do me a favour and try not to get me anything from Japan if you can. ^^ (Kenny, no Mu figures please! :P)

... Only if Japan could be as honest as Germany.

Tsubasa Anime Cast
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/anime/tsubasa/

Saw it a while ago but haven't got time to rant. XD
For Tange fans, unfortunately they didn't keep the CCS seiyuu. As for who this 牧野 由依 is, I have no idea. Shaorang's new voice is Irino Miyu, the boy who we known as Haku from Sen to Chihiro and Daisuke from DN Angel. Fai (Fay?) or however that's spelled gets Namikawa Daisuke, also a new face. I only know him from Prince of Tennis and Yuy the new Guardian of Wind from Angelique, saw him from the Neo Romance Festa 2004 Summer event and liked him. :D Shall be looking forward to watch this new anime now. ^_^ It's coming out in 2 month~~~

Cloud Strife - Takahiro Sakurai Yay for zero_sum! XD
Sephiroth - Toshiyuki Morikawa ...pffffffft
Zack - Kenichi Suzumura Waii~ :D

Aww Morikubo does another that type of character... aww Vincent doesn't get any big voice, but i guess he prolly doesn't speak much anyway...

Dear all,

I'm out of office exorcising undead warriors with Uesugi Kagetora visiting my relatives in other towns during the Chinese New Year and will have limited access to web and email. For urgent issues, you can try to reach me by microcosmo, or send me a Shikigami if you can make those. Otherwise I will reply to your messages once I get back to office on the 16th. X3

Sorry for the inconveniences.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Rgs,

HopeXD

Meine Liebe anime is out... o.o;; Another anime added to "to-watch" list.

Considering how much I hate the game (for it's difficulty and lack of story... konami sucks at making me happy. >.>) and the stupidity of its manga, the anime is actually not too bad. (But ok, I did have my expectations low.)

1. There is no main female, maybe will never be one. :D (no, not sure on that one)
2. It features on interactions/conflicts between the 5 main bish...cast, which the game never went very far in.
3. Seiyuu performances are wonderful. I feel like it's a show where they can show off their voices without worrying about being off character. XD

This year must be the year of Sakurai... this is the third anime series in which he's taking leading cast. o_o (The other two being "Kyou Kara Ma-oh" and "Tactics", all three are girl targeted series I'd say), I can see him getting a lot of fans now...

But since Meine Liebe had no manga to start with, I'm a little worried about the story getting stupid because of the lack of plot... hmm Episode 1 was fine so let's see how it goes. :3
