Shin Koihime Musou. Links. Major the Movie.

How ancient China did battles for righteousness and valor. -.-”

It’s been a long weekend, but I think I’m ready to start blogging again. Wanted to make sure I was back to my old self before I posted anything. To prevent my posts from sounding emo or sad.

Thanks to everyone and sorry for making you guys worry. Just needed a little time to think of “stuffs”. Lol…
Am back now, and hoping to catch up on one 1 week of anime backlog… somehow. Still have yet to see what all the fuss about Bakemonogatari is about. It’s almost on everyone’s’ top 10 list. o.0!

Shin Koihime Musou

Kanuu and Chouhi’s group rescue a mysterious girl, who is actually the real Ryuubi, her name and heirloom sword stolen after the events of the last season. The group sets off to recover Ryuubi’s sword. At the same time, a group of street performers, the three Chou Sisters, are given a mysterious magic book that may be more trouble than they think.

Until now, I can’t believe I finished this load of bull. Shin Koihime Musou could very well be the worst anime of 2009. I would have rather watched Queen’s Blade. Heck, I’d rather watch Training with Hinako even.

The only positive side I can think of for Shin Koihime Musou would be the huge amount of female characters. Every episode, 3 (or 2 or more) new characters are introduced. Some loli, some “legal” (but we all know “legal” means jack in animes). So 12 episodes gives you 36 characters or so. And that translate to a significant amount of fanservice.

I do applaud the anime for being able to maintain a sufficient degree of individuality for each character. Enough for me to distinguish and identify each character. If you started watching expecting to see anything else though, then be prepared to be utterly disappointed.

* All K-On haters, I really suggest you give Shin Koihime Musou a go. Cause compared to this, K-On won’t seem so shallow anymore. Heck, You’d rather watch K-On. Lol!

She has a gawd damn stomach ache. Why the hell do you need to touch her chest?!!
.

Told you there were alot of characters…
.

And fanservice.
.

The ONLY, and I mean ONLY, decent character in the anime.

Three different reactions to expect upon finishing this anime.
Left: Surprised, Middle: Suicidal, Right: RAAAggGEEEZzzzZZ!!!
Lol..!

A few days back, I received a mail from a blogger. He/She was asking me about why I took his blog down from my “Links” when I added so many new ones to the list. I believe I don’t have to answer him about it. But I felt the need to explain it anyway.

I treat my Links as a bookmark. To remind me to browse those blogs. Hence why there are non-anime links. Some are friends, some are links of interest like photography, or figures, etc. And no, I do not prefer storing them with the “Bookmark” function on my browser. I also stopped using Google Reader cause it’s a hassle to maintain.

My Links section is not a blogroll exchange thingamabob. I won’t add a blog to the link just because anyone asked for a blogroll exchange. But you can try asking for a link-up anyway. Instead, I will browse your blog. And if all is well, only will I add it to the list. That being said, a blog does not have to have super stats or amazing posts for it to be added. And I actually prefer to add newly started blogs to help them get coverage. Cause I remember how it was like when I started Anime3R (Lol! 6 hits a day.. -.-“).

Having said that, also keep in mind not to expect too much from my linking. Lol. Cause anyone who visits NaNeee?! has probably visited you too. And I don’t exactly get a lot of new visitors. :p

And for the more important part, if I link to you, you are not required to link back to me. Like I said, I treat it more as a bookmark than a blogroll exchange. However, if I do lose interest in a certain blog. I will remove it from the links section. Like how one would delete a bookmark.
o.0! HuuuHhhHHHh??!!!
Yes, the horror. So if you will feel offended should I happen to drop your link. Please don’t link to me at all.

I might sound rather stuck-up from this, but I’m truly not. :p
I’m just a neat freak and having more blogs in my links that I can surf ticks me off a little.

I rather drop by a few blogs daily, than to drop by a lot of blogs once in a while. I know it limits my blogs’ growth, but I prefer the bondage bonding we get.
.
.

Edit: Oh my… Reading my own rant on the links section now, even I think that I sound like a pompous arse. Lol. So I thought I’ll add more to this rant. To salvage whatever good impression visitors have left of me. MuaHahaHaHAHha!

I’m not saying I drop blogs like dead flies; Being ready to pounce on the delete button the moment I read something I dislike. Lol!
Instead, I only delete blogs when I need to. Like when the Links list gets too long. I don’t want to have like a million blogs linked when I only visit some.

Also, you can’t deny that a whole whoop ass length of blog list going down the page looks intimidating as compared to a short and tidy list. Which also increases the chance of visitors clicking on them. ;p

Of course, some links were from before where I actually did a blogroll exchange. So certain obligations apply then I guess. But of course, I don’t exchange blogrolls blindly too.

Major: The Winning shot of Friendship (movie)

Goro briefly returns to Japan after a triumphant season in the US. He is heading towards Fukuoka where he played baseball when he was a fifth grader. Having just moved into a new town, this is where Goro faced a critical point in his life.

The first minute of this movie sent goosebumps up my spine. Then down my spine. Then up again.

Immediately I knew I was going to have a great time. That and a possible seizure from spine malfunction. Continued watching with eyes wide open and expectations sky high.

You know how majority of movies starts off with a slow start. No such thing in this Major movie.

Instead, it starts off with the first 18 minutes of nail-biting moment. Warming viewers up to the competitive nature of baseball. Followed by solid character development. The story progresses well too. Nothing too detailed to be expected from a 1 and a half hour movie. But enough to show some strife and hardship the team has to go through.

Then came the final match. Hmmm… I would like to say it kicked arse. But, it actually didn’t hit my expectations. It was great. But it didn’t exactly made me go crazy. Like how the opening of the movie did. o.0!

Lol… Talk about having too high of an expectation.

But after the final match was over, there were another 10 minutes of ending (which is very important to the development of the Major series). Now THAT was great!
