4 - It’s been a while…

It’s been busy for a while for me, but I guess i haven’t posted in too long lol. I mean my last post was like what…end of June? Yeah, I had finals around the end of July, and before that I had a meet at Hokkaido, and then just last week I had a training camp for track and field. So yeah, I’ve been busy, and it couldn’t be helped. Right, right? Well, I still have more finals left on the 31st of August and 1st and 2nd of September. Meaning I may not post stuff in a while again. Meh. Not like that matters.

Well, I’m kindda tired, so I’ll keep it shorter than usual. So the Anime talk. An anime that I guess I think is going to be really good this season is “No. 6”. It’s still airing right now, so it’s just my prediction. So I guess I will keep it at that and not comment till this season is over. It’s totally not an excuse to cut it short. Totally. But yup, that’s it for today I guess lol. Sorry for being boring if there are any readers at all.

3 - Reflection

So it’s now my third (written) post on tumblr. Everytime I try to write the post, the keyboard reminds me that it is in Japanese format for some reason, and it just pisses me off. I mean the key next to “Enter” should be ” ’ “, but because it’s in Japanese format, its “@”. It makes no sense. At all.

Well, anyways, reflection. So I don’t know how much privacy of others I can disclose here, so he will be anonymous here (though most of the people who read this, at least the two followers, know who he is). Anyways, a very close friend of mine came to visit me in Japan from America, and it was very exciting for me. Well, I think of him as one of my best friends, but I’d rather not use the phrase “best friend” on a public spot since its definition depend on people. Okay, I’m going off topic too much. So well, he came to visit, and we hung out out for…a total of three days time-wise?

Hm. I just thought of what I am going to write, and it just made me think that “Confession” may have been a more-fitting title. Whatever. Mmm. Anyways, to put it simply, I feel like I should have planned things better. I can’t confidently say that he was able to have the best tour around Tokyo. So I will have to apologize to him for that.

In addition, I feel like I wasn’t able to talk with him properly. It’s not like there was a border of language, but more like, I had nothing I could say. A lack of sleep probably got my head tired (obviously), and that may have had to do with me falling asleep on train and not being able to respond properly. But mostly, though, I may have been watching too much anime. I mean, he knew more about J-pop than I did (he always did), and thus much more Japanese than I was. And yeah…even at school and all, I only talk about anime. As I think back, back in high school, I probably only talked about school related things, like “*fill in the blank* is gay”. Sigh. How depressing. You know, that leads me to thinking about how my friends were talking with me in high school, and how very very grateful that is.

…okay, if I continue going, I will go out of control. So I will stop right now. WELL THEN

Let’s get going with the usual anime talk. Summer anime is starting soon. Really soon. If any of you readers have any intention of watching anime, I think you should have an idea of which anime to watch. Well, I’d rather not say which ones I will be watching. Because probably the number of anime I will be watching for summer season is enough to put most of you in depair.

Okay. It’s getting long. So I will stop talking about summer anime for today and talk about one spring anime. There’s an anime called “Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai” (okay, I don’t know what the official translation is or will be, but it’s “We Still Don’t Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day”). It’s an anime about high school students who used to be a group really close friends when they were small, and a girl who was in a group as well but died back then. Well, so she basically reappears in front of one of the guys in a group as a ghost, but no one else can see. The anime is about sending her off to heaven, and it has lots of drama. Well, it’s very touching. Very touching. Yup, very touching. So guys, if you decide to watch it, prepare a handkerchief.

Okay. I will end it now. Sorry for making it really long lol. Thanks for reading too.

2 - Typical Weekend Minus Anime and Running

So yeah, as the title suggests, I had my typical weekend.
I woke up on Saturday, my hear hurt, was a little feverish so I went back to sleep. Wake up a little before 11, and I had morning practice for track…and I completely ditched it. I still felt dizzy and had a fever so I emailed the person in charge (I mean even though it was sorta accidental I did have a fever…).

Well. So my weekend started terribly. What I was planning on doing over the weekend:

-Clean my room
-Do my Stats Report
-Do my experiment
-Make my PC

And I finished none. Started Cleaning, I guess that kindda got a little better. But I guess a regular person wouldn’t be satisfied with this. Stats Report is untouched, and worst of all I know nothing about Stats since I don’t listen in class. And obviously. The Japanese. Sigh. Too incomprehensible. And my experiment. I was going to test how sturdy Cardboard boxes are. I was going to test by using various structure and material but…I was naive to have thought that I could make a corrugated board out of a drawing paper. It was impossible. So now I have to give up on the material part, and just rely on structure. I figured that out around 11:30 P.M. on Sunday LOL. So yeah…I’m screwed. If anyone has an idea as of what I should do (anything is welcome!), please do tell me. And I guess if you don’t mind me using that idea.

The PC. Yes. I need to make that soon. Main reason why I lack my nutrients from anime. I think that’s partly (≒100%) the reason why I’m really depressed recently. I’m sorry to those (especially the person I ranted at) I caused trouble to.

So I’ll leave my weekend comments there. Let’s talk about anime. I could talk more about this season’s anime, but this season’s almost over. I feel like I’ll be busy the next season too…must finish all of this season’s anime that I haven’t been able to watch due to my computer problems. ANYWAYS, today I want to talk about an anime that is on the sci-fi side. It’s called “Koukaku Kidoutai” in Japanese, and the English Title is “GHOST IN THE SHELL”. It’s takes place in the future where technology is much more advanced that people can have mechanized body parts, and the story revolves around a special police unit which solves various difficult cases.

Basically it’s cyberpunk. What I like about this anime the most, though, is that each arc is about different cases, but at the same time it pursue and revolves around a bigger incident. It’s kindda difficult to explain unless I tell a little about the story, which spoils the fun. Well, it’s also a fact that I suck at writing too. But yeah, good anime. One of the anime that I think everyone should watch.

Opening theme song for Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko

First Post

Okay. So I have no clue why I decided to get a Tumblr at this moment. And I’ve pretty much only seen Kevin and Yoko’s (just skimmed through it today lol) Tumblr so I have no clue what I should write. Hm. I have no clue why I’m using “I have no clue” so much.

Anyways. So I guess I will try to give updates on my daily happenings (dunno if I’m gunna update this everyday), and I guess I should talk about anime too.

Yup. So uh, yeah. Oh, theres an anime called “Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko” (direct translation would be “Radio Girl and Adolescent Boy” I think), and it’s pretty well made. One of the few animes that made me want to read the original light novel. Well, I guess I should only say this to those who’ve seen it huh…So anyone reading this should watch it. Just so that I could talk passionately about it. Oh…but everyone should listen to it’s opening! I will…upload it. If anyone is interested, just go to youtube and see the full opening, or even the full episode!

Okay, I guess I will calm down around now. Oh, yeah, after I posted the direct translation of the anime title, this tumblr url might be kindda obvious. Uhhhhhhhhhhh yeah. So i guess this is all for this First Post.
