if you have animax

dun download FMA please..

okay i actually missed the 8.30 timeslot and had to record it via hubstation...

review of animax release of FMA: botherhood.

1. it is SD.
2. Subs sized nicely white with black border
3. dun see any subbing issues... [beat that odex]
4. they sub all the small text too.. which is kinda rare for odex and and older animax subbed shows..
5. armstrong mouth is not moving...

overall. i find that it is kinda confusing for first timer to watch FMA:botherhood. 


For LAMB.

animax asia first orginal production. and sadly speaking. i was very hype up about it when i first got the posters and the concept arts. but now i watching it.

animation: kinda sadly fail... 
background art: nice but not so great
character art: 2D rendered of 3D models??? at like 10fps?
camera action: alot of jump cuts.
voice. the mouth and voice dun match and it is made to be in english, not that it is dubbed for english.
storyline: seems okay... abit confusing at the start. VERY confusing at the ending...

with this and the animation budget. i have to say what kind of animation with that kind of budget can crap up to this point?

the ending is so messy that that i am lost. one moment, jack say he can make a new plant, then next is keiko getting LAMB, then out of no where she is fighting with eve... then jack appear out of no where again... and i tell you LAMB with no dialogs is boring. the sound effects dun match the visual elements.

the story was too rush to fit in to a 1 hr short film slot. it will be better if it was a 3 or 4 part mini series.

rating for LaMB: 2/5
Very dissapointting...

i have no reason to stay up late.

for like many weeks,  since i was admitted to A&E, I either rushing work out for the assignments dateline or recently watching all the american dramas that are on ch 5 at 2am.

From Closer to home then grey's anatomy. that is how i spent my 2 to 3 in the morning. But with it going back to cold case season 4. i think i see no reason to be up that late again.

well that what i hope since i will be having 8am class on fridays [abit of a fucked up thing coz it is not even a core module, but have to work my ass off for it]

well time to get back to my "normal" sleeping habit to sleep before ET on ch 5 shows...

my spring 2009 anime watch list.

who knows i may anime blog them...

for this season i will be watching these few that seem interesting to me...

K-On!: [april 2th]
story revolves around four Japanese high school girls who join their school's light music club to try to save it from being abolished. However, they are the only members of the club, and none of them have any experience playing musical instruments or reading sheet music.

Reason to watch?: From the makers of haruhi and lucky star. And i need some joke anime to watch. It should be good coming from kyoto animation.

Haruhi
: [april 15th]
Reason to watch?: do i need to say? it is haruhi. all heed the almightly haruhi.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood : [april 5th]this will be a remake so it is season one again but following the manga this time round.

Reason to watch?: It was the first few anime i watched and it is by bones. but some sources say, it is over hyped up and the producers just want to earn more. Well more FMA cosplayer will be for this year. and also it will be out on Animax asia, subbed in english airing from 10 Apr 09, every Fridays 8.30pm.

Shangri-la : [april 5th]
The anime series is based on the highly acclaimed novel of the same name which was written by Eiichi Ikegami and won the first place in 2005 Japanese Sci-Fi Novel Award.

Reason to watch?: Character art by
Range Murata from last exile and the art looks interesting. It caught my eye when i was browsing newtype.

Eden of the east : [april 9th]
November 22, 2010. Monday.
Ten missiles hit the territory of Japan.
However, this unprecedented terrorist act, later to be known as "Careless Monday" apparently did not cause any victim, and was soon forgotten by almost everyone.

Then, 3 months later...
Saki Morimi is a young woman currently in the United States of America on her graduation trip. But just when she is in front of the White House, Washington DC, se gets into troubles, and only the unexpected intervention of one of her fellow countrymen saves her day.

Reason to watch?: Cause it is by Production IG. I just love their works. hahaha. another reason it is by one of my favourite anime director, Kenji Kamiyama and characters art by honey and clover's manga artist... if you watch the trailer, it looks like honey clover in ghost in the shell world!

last one is an OVA

Dogs: bullets and carnage: [may 19th]
Reason to watch?: Nice manga, it looks like it is going to be good... if i have the chance won't mind cosplaying badou.

who knows what i going to write about? and well at least this spring 2009 season looks better than winter, where i only followed rideback

what am i supposed to be?

I thought i had my life planned out, but recently i giving it more thought.

What if i am not able to make it?
What if i crap up?
What if i mess up my works?


really i kinda forgotten all my maya training from less than 6 months ago. It took me like 16 hours to model a simple ipod and it still look weird.

And i really realised, my photos ain't great or wonderful. I been shooting and shooting and shooting, but i felt that i am getting no where. it is like i am stuck there, no matter what i do, i am stuck at this level, and i cannot go up. it is like something is limiting me. I guess it is me that is limiting me. It is not about the tools, it is not about the location. It is just me...

I am not sure how i am going to get through this remaining 2 years of studies. I feel that i am drained out, like i am not supposed to do this, but then, what am i really supposed to do?

I quited too many things just to try something new, and then quit it cause i am tired out. I am getting no where at this rate. No matter what goal i set my sights on, as time go by, i felt there was no way i can grab it....

so what i can really grab please? nothing i guess.
Stuck here being the small green frog that is stuck in the well....
I can't let that happen but it is still going on.

back when $1 = 1 GB

i just increased my storage space in my PC by 1.6 times by just adding 1 500GB harddisk. Which cost just $99!!! that is like 5GB for $0.99 or... 19 cents a GB... that is like 5 times cheaper than when i first DIY this PC...

a IDE 160GB harddisk cost like $160... so storage was an issue, but these days... with 4 SATA ports... this PC can take up to 4 TB at like $180 x 4... and that is like... 18 cents a GB... T.T

damn technology... my stuff would be outdated in months at this rate~
