Well, after giving it some thought, I decided to move blogs instead of continuing this one.
Why? Well…a few reasons.
One of the reasons is because of the quality of the posts in this blog. (quality? what quality?)
Shifting through my archive of posts written about 2 years ago makes me want to vomit and puke at my stupidity and makes me wonder why did I even write those posts.
So basically, my posts from two years ago were really…well, you can go check them out yourself in the archive, but just remember to have a barf bag on hand or something.

Of course, there are also other reasons, such as animanga bloggers whom I used to know already left (actually, most of them actually stopped blogging already), lack of motivation to keep running this blog, lack of interest to keep blogging a certain series (might be because of my recent obsession with BL manga, but that’s another thing) etc.

This doesn’t mean I’ll quit blogging though. (because I have this weird feeling I’ll end up regretting it if I do, somehow)
I’ll just be moving to another blog (but I won’t be deleting this one either, just for archival purposes and all)
…As for the new blog url, I have not decided yet. I’ll soon edit this post though with the new link, yep. (´･ω･`)

[EDIT]: New URL: http://unhappyrefrain.wordpress.com/
Kay bye.

[EDIT]: In short, I just lost interest in blogging. But you can find me at other places on the Internet.

If you know where the lyrics in the title come from, then it’s obvious what I’m going to post.
Yes, this post is about Panda Hero (not really), that one GUMI song by hachi which has been the top on the Weekly Vocaloid Ranking. but Matroshyka is still better /biased
I’ll just link the original here if you haven’t seen it. (or embed if you don’t have a Nico account)

Since this is the new bandwagon song/hype Okay, maybe the hype have already sort of died down a little, but covers of this song have been popping up everywhere.
So I’m gonna post a few of these covers I like over here.
Now then, onto the Panda Hero spam.

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!
Linking this up first because two of my utaite biases are singing this. One of my favorite covers so far, mainly because it’s ShounenT + Rumdarjun = Epic combination.
That, and I have a bias liking for medium-range boy voices, so…

SORARRUUUUNNNN I’m biased kthxbye
He pretty much uses his usual low-and-sleepy kinda voice for this cover too.

You might know tane as that guy who did that obnoxious version of magnet with ZERO. Well, if you were expecting a so-sexy-that-i-died voice, then you’re wrong.
His voice sounds kinda different than in his cover of magnet, particularly at the chorus. BA BA BADDUMP BA BA BA BADDUM BAHHH
..why does this cover have so little views again?

Anima’s cover. Idk whether that’s really his imouto/little sister in the beginning, but the tags on Nico seem to say so…

Rap cover by Alilem. Not too familiar with utaite rappers (besides Tightson and maybe ShounenT if he counts), but rap covers = instant like.

Kinda ironic that most of the covers of this song are sung by male singers and there are hardly any (good) female covers. Hmmm.
Well, that’s about all. Feel free to link up any nice Panda Hero covers that is not mentioned here and I’ll check it out. (particularly female covers, since they’re kinda lacking w)

…and Hiroshi Kamiya~♥
Apparently today is Shizuo’s (from Durarara!!) as well as Hiroshi Kamiya’s birthday.
The ironic part? Hiroshi Kamiya is the seiyuu of Izaya. (DUN DUN DUNNNN)
I still find it funny that Izaya’s seiyuu share the same birthdate as Shizuo.

and yes, I know I’ve been really inactive lately. Screw school.
Well, I’m not going to say anything else, so have a mini Shizuo/birthday spam under the cut.

Well, that’s about it.

Kazehaya why are you so awesome.

Episode 1 as in the real episode 1, not ‘episode 0′, just saying.
Sorry for the lack of updates, school’s been pretty much draining my free time. But I’ve been Tumblr-ing a lot so maybe I’m just lazy.
Short episodic post is short btw.

It’s Valentine’s Day, and like most other girls, Sawako also has chocolate she wants to give to. Including Kazehaya, of course. But things didn’t turn out in the end… /shortfailsummaryorz

Sawako, please teach me how to cook. Or just make chocolate.

Haha, what's with that face.

And more blushing ensues. (One of the reasons why I love Kimi ni Todoke so much. The innocence hnnggghh)

The tension---

Oh god why. WHY.

You know, I can't actually hate her anymore.

…The ending of this episode was so depressing.
I never read the manga so I didn’t know what would happen, but aaaahhhh this just makes me more hyped for the next episode.
On the other hand, I find Kazehaya & Sawako’s awkward moments cute.
And Kurumi needs to stop interfering with my OTP. (But I can’t exactly hate her though.)

Also, a new challenger appears.

New character~ And he's voiced by Miyano Mamoru--

I have no idea who the new guy is, but I have a feeling he’s gonna be a new rival or something.

Well, I’m just glad that they retained the art style from the first season. Speaking of which, the OP and ED aren’t too bad. I prefer S1′s OP over S2′s, and as for the ED I prefer S2′s.

…Is what I wanted to say but the start of new year means I need to go back to school. Soon. (and I haven’t finished my holiday assignments yet.)
Well, shit. /selframble

It’s 12+ am over here anyway, so.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Especially to the readers/followers/lurkers/people who comment on this blog. You guys are awesome.

And I shall be waiting for the new season of anime to air www

So, things that happened in the past year 2010. (aka self rambling that no one cares about)

Let’s see…not much really changed for me in the past year, although I did have more of a ‘social life’ than I did in 2009 (but I’m still far having a normal ‘social life’, derp.). So yes, in the end I still need a life outside the computer.
As for my grades, it sort of stayed the same as I did in 2009, but I did improve a little. Just a little.
As for anime…well this year, there were a few memorable ones which I really liked. To name a few, Kimi ni Todoke, Durarara!!! and Kuragehime. There were also some which weren’t from 2010 but I discovered them on that year, such as Natsume Yuujinchou and Inazuma Eleven.
As for fandoms, I’m still into Vocaloid and utattemita. I also got into Inazuma Eleven fandom, but usually I’m more of a lurker there. (and also the South Park BL fandom, but nobody cares about that since it’s hated by pretty much everyone)
Oh, and I discovered Tumblr. As well as the awesomeness of Pixiv and Nico Nico Douga.
New Years resolutions? Well I never really thought about it, but I wish I could make it through 2011. Since from what I heard the last two years of secondary school are the harsh.

Well, I’m off to bed now.

Being a fan of the games (and the absolutely stellar seiyuu cast), I just had to watch this.
I didn’t really expect too much since game adaptations usually suck (look at what happened to Hakuoki ;_;), so yeah, the anime turned out better than I expected. Sorta.

Also, it seems like the anime is going according to the zodiac order, so basically Capricon is first, followed by Aquarius, etc.

Anyway, screencaps + fangirl commentary ahead.

Since Capricon’s up first, the first episode covers Tomoe Yoh’s story/route. (Which makes me a happy fangirl since Hitsuji-kun Yoh is one of my favorite Starry Sky characters (＞ω＜) besides Tsubasa and Miyaji, but that’s a different story.)

Why hello thar cutie.

And the episode begins with a flashback when Yoh was a shota first met Tsukiko. Well, in the game they did mention that they met when they were young, but somehow in anime form it seems so much adorable. (Must be because now Tsukiko has a face.)

*squees* (His original design looks way better though.)

Skinny leggssss.

Also, I like how the other guys got cameos in the very first episode.

Haruki sensei~

Kazuki :3

Kanata and Suzuya~ (I still refuse to believe that I share the same sign as Kanata---/killedbyfangirls)

Hayato~

TSUBASAAAAAAAA (and of course Azusa :3) /biased

Homare senpai :3

And no, I’m not going to upload a screencap of Miyaji because DEEN screwed up his design. ;_;
(Okay, they sorta screwed up everyone’s designs, but still.)

Idk why, but the context of this sentence is....

So basically, the entire school could be that one female student's reverse harem.

Oh wait, it’s only 12 guys. But that doesn’t change the fact that this is, by far, the largest reverse harem I’ve ever seen.

If someone said that to me, I would probably find them creepy.

Oh look, Tsukiko has eyes nooow

And that’s pretty much it. The episode just pretty much only covers the beginning part of Yoh’s story. (too short for an episode if you ask me)
While I didn’t like how the animation looked at certain points, overall it was way much better than I expected. (Well it’s DEEN quality so I didn’t expect much at all)
Now I want the next episode.

Also, I have no idea whether I’ll continue blogging this (I already failed at blogging Kuragehime), but let’s see how it goes.

Merry Christmas! \^o^/

(While we’re at it, have a cute picture of Aphrodi,Gazelle and Burn, just because.)

The artist’s Pixiv is here.

…Well, that’s all. (I’ll get back to blogging after winter break.) I’ll get back to blogging soon. That is, unless I’m stuck with last minute assignments (again).

Kuranosuke was absolutely adorable in this episode. I love how he gets fustrated when he thinks Tsukimi is cute. Especially the part when he was punching the stall. (and the part when he’s running around with a towel)
So tl;dr, lots of Kura-pyon goodness nomhom. (This makes up for the lack of appearances in the previous episode.)

But the best part of the episode is definitely the part when Shuu pushed the woman away and dashed out of her house. Lmao epic push is epic. Poor guy feels like he’s been raped, although he really isn’t ww. (Oh well, at least I like Shuu better now for that. xD)
As if that wasn’t enough, apparently it turns out that when Shuu was a shota, he saw his dad having an affair another woman. Poor Shuu. D8

..And now I shall go watch the next episode.

Oh hai thar ASK, it’s been a while?
Personally my favorite cover of Scissorhands is amu’s and clear’s (I’m biased okay.), but ASK’s cover is ASDASFSDFDSFDSGFKHNNNGGGGGGG; worthy as well.
Oh, and for those who still don’t know, Faneru (aka Neru-tan) is baaaackk.

Yeah, I know Halloween’s long over already, but I’m linking this because Sekihan is awesome. Listen all the way to the end for the creepy “suki” chanting and creepy laughters/giggles.

ShounenT <3
Personally I didn't like the original by Miku, but I liked this cover.

‘I say nya-o!’
The singer of this cover is Ryo-kun, a fairly new singer who started uploading his covers on Nico sometime in late September. Now I have another new utaite to add to my ‘favorite utaite list”.
I look forward to seeing more of his covers~

Nicovideo: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12799115

Another Ryo-kun cover because I can.
This cover is currently one of the most viewed male cover of Blackjack on Nico. (and one of the best as well)

BYE BYE SAYONARA LOOKING ROOKIN BABYYYY
Soraru + Screaming cover = Hell yeah!
I love how Soraru nowadays uses less autotune.

Nicovideo: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12772701

Soraru’s newest cover. Apparently there’s been a craze about this song lately.
Also, watch out for the part at 3:09.

Lon-san~!
…I seriously don’t know whether she’s a girl or a boy anymore.
Oh well, cute voice is cute, can’t deny that. (Although I’d shit bricks if it Lon really was a male.)

Valshe! I love that part at 2:53, so cute lol
This song’s is really popular on Nico. (I think I might just do a linkdump post just for the covers of that song alone lol)

Lon covering a DECO*27 song….FUUUUU-
Cute cover is cute.
I’m not too fond of the PV (mainly because I have no idea what relation does it have with the song), but it’s cute nevertheless.

Nicovideo: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12774071

—————–

Usa’s latest upload, covering doriko’s new song “Cat Food”.
Although I still have to say Ryo-kun’s cover is my favorite (/bias), Usa’s cover is one of the better female covers of the song so far.

Nicovideo: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12851240

—————–

I’m not too familiar with the singer, but it seems that this cover is uploaded at the same time as the original.
A relaxing track to listen to after all that techno/screaming covers just now, amirite?

Nicovideo: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12837677

Well, that’s pretty much it.
I actually wanted to link neko’s original English song, but it’s not utattemita, so… idk whether I should link it. Oh wait I just I did.
…I’ll end the post now.
