Upon the suggestion of Wrack and...someone else...was it Lyg? I think it may have been...not sure...but the point is, upon the suggestion of her/them/whatever it ends up as, I looked up what little I was able to find subbed(Namely the first two episodes), and watched. I figured I'd give a musicians perspective since it seems to revolve around music. So, without further delay, let's begin, shall we? From wikipedia; I'd just like to correct Wikipedia in the sense that, if I understood the beginning of episode two right, their keyboardist has about eleven years of experience. Anyway, moving on, it seems comedic, which is a plus for me, being a comedy person, but I'll see how it plays out. The rest that the wiki gave would either be a spoiler or something you can figure out yourself, so I'll move onto the points being a musician has with this show. I suppose I'll start with the positive since that's usually how these things are done. Pros; ~The animation is well-done. Most shows, the characters are awful miming to the instruments, and I'm facepalming whenever they show a guitarist, bassist or drummer. The drummer only hits the drums and cymbals she would in real life though, and the guitarist and bassist don't move their hands unrealistically. I can't comment for the keyboard animations since I'm not much if a pianist though, but from what I can tell it's accurate. ~Research was done. From prices to designs to brands to the little adhesive plastic on the pickguard and pickups of a new guitar and so on, everything checks out as far as I can see(Though I live very far from Japan, so I can't be certain everything is correct as far as a local family-owned shop in Japan's stock and prices and such). Only other manga or anime to do this I've seen is Beck. ~"It's to play, not to protect". As odd as it may sound to non-musicians and some other musicians, I like beat-up guitars. Dinged, dented, worn, scraped, faded, chipped, broken-but-still-usable, quirky, I love the look. It gives the guitar character, and frankly I always hate when people baby a guitar and complain about a small scratch or ding. It's an instrument you pricks, not a relic. Even if I spent $10,000 on a guitar I wouldn't act like that with it. As they said in the show, "It's made for playing". ~Facts are right. It does hurt when you unplug a turned up amp without turning it down. ;_; ~They mentioned Jeff Beck. I love Jeff Beck's work, and he's sorely underrated next to his fellow Yardbirds guitarists(Jimmy Page, later of Led Zeppelin, and Eric Clapton), and easily stands with if not beyond both. The fact they mentioned him is enough to get a "=3" from me. Now then, for what I didn't like about it that would really only hit a musician; ~They misspelled Hendrix's name. He spelled it "Jimi", it was probably just my sub spelling it "Jimmy", but still worth note if you get the same sub. ~Beginner with an expensive guitar. The guitar the guitarist, who has no experience beforehand, gets, is approximately $2,500 if my conversions were right. It's a Les Paul, so other guitarists can figure out from those that it's a Gibson Les Paul Standard. Don't ask how she got it when it's $2,500, I'll explain that in the next one. I'm not downtalking that, I think the better guitar you can get the better; a good guitar fosters better playing to my eyes, hands and ears, but still, most things beyond $750 or so are specialized, and are really professional instruments, so it just seems odd for me that someone with no experience has a guitar I'd consider selling mine for. ~The way she gets it. The keyboardists father owns the shop the Les Paul is in. I'm fine with using a connection like that to knock down the price some, but $2,100(They knocked it down to about $400 if my conversion was right) is just too much for me. I hate people who do things like that because it kills the hard work that makes you truly love stuff like that, and it's always seemed lazy to me. ~The guitar's finish. They say it's Honeyburst. It's not. This is Honeyburst. Does the guitar in the image above look like that? No. It looks like this. It's Cherry Sunburst. Just a little nitpick of mine being a guitarist, but I figured it was worth mention. All in all though, I liked it, and if I could find episode 3, which seems to be subbed nowhere yet(To my manga resources to read instead of watch!), I'd still be watching instead of typing. If you like comedy and anime, try it. If you like music and anime, try it. If you like all three like me, you'll like it.

"It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses." "Hit it." One of the few films I feel I should go out and get a copy of. As should you, or at least watch it once. It is rated R though, so check the content warning beforehand.

He's better than your late-night talk show host. Name of his show is in there. Just a warning, it's not exactly clean. It's not full of a huge amount of profanity, but he doesn't stay completely clean. Just a forewarning. Because some people like those kinds of things and some don't and feel it needs to be hidden from all eyes *Stifles comment*, and that's all I'm saying. Or you're saying. Any comments pretaining to that and not to Craig and his show will face the wrath of the delete button.

Finally cleared disc one of Tales Of Symphonia today. I swear, if Namco could fit all that on one Gamecube disc, Nintendo has no excuse for Twilight Princess' shortness, especially given the amount of time it took.

I would love to meet whoever canceled this show and do unspeakable things to them.

It's hard to be a bad series when you can make the World Wars funny.

Delightful sitcom. Neil Patrick Harris just completes it though. it also fills me with a strong urge to go play laser tag for no other reason than to have an FPS in real-life without getting shot.

It is currently raining heavily. While the sun is shining. This was taken during a let-up in the rain so the camera wouldn't get ruined.

I used to like this show. Then I thought about the concept, and now I can't stand it.

Due to my incredibly erratic sleep schedule, I was the first to view the most recent episode of Yu-Gi-Oh, The Abridged Series. It's not up to 4,000-something views. Not sure if it means anything, just felt like blogging it.

It makes me look somewhere between Even Stevens Shia LaBeouf, Transformers Shia LaBeouf and a mid-late 70's Keith Moon. I'm not sure if that's good or bad...

I swear, this game NEVER ENDS. Much of the entry is in spoiler tags since it likely contains spoilers for the game. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «There are two worlds, both of which I've been on and the second of which I'm about to leave to return to the first, gone through that fight so many games have where you fight what seems to basically be the final boss only to lose for story purposes, become a criminal due to circumstance on both worlds, and I'm in what is very similar to the last temple I went through in the first world right now, and I'm still on disc one. And as annoying as it is, it's great since it leaves so much gameplay to be had. Though I'm borrowing it and need to return it before Summer, so it may not be as good as it sounds for me...but still, whatever Namco did to put all this much on the first disc and I assume a similar amount on the second disc, more people need to start doing, especially now that Nintendo's dropped mini-discs and Sony's moved on to Blu-ray.

There's an entire thread dedicated to this kind of stuff on that forum. I can give more examples if you guys want.

Bow to us.

How did the fire not harm my character? Even in Dungeons & Dragons, the main influence on the game engine in Neverwinter Nights, deals 1d4 fire damage per round of non-magical fire. How did I not get burned? oO

I don't think I'll stop getting inspired because of and then heading here to plug this show until I get you lot watching it. Go watch it when it's on. That's all I should need to say.

Today I learned everything is better with 99 lives. And chaos. And explosives. And flying swords wielded by freakishly powerful ranger's named Ike.

I want one of these. And so should you.

Recently got a scan of an actual newspaper from Monday, September 18th, 1826 from the local area of some of the ads. I'm reading through some of the slave-related ads, and it's just odd seeing people referring to other human beings as they would an animal. Heck, due to the descriptions they use, I mistook an ad for a horse as one for a slave. I just thought it needs saying that, while we may not be proud of it and should not be proud of it, it's there, and we may as well bear it in mind to prevent from falling down a similar path.

Plotholes? Yes. Unless it's in an alternate universe or something. Abrams? Yes. Not-Shatner as Kirk? Yes. No Tribbles? Correct. Will I still see it? Yes. Why? Because it actually looks interesting, though if there isn't some form of an answer to the plotholes, be it fixing them or just setting it an an alternate universe, expect a rant when I return from seeing it.

So a friend brought it to my attention that apparently, Arwen, a character in The Lord Of The Rings(image of portrayal in film below); Was played by the daughter of Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler; I may be the only one, but even if she had contacts to give her eyes that colour during the filming, I just don't see it.

That statement is pure and utter *censorship!*. You're never too old to have fun and walk around the streets in a costume, knocking on doors for free candy. Heck, some people put the candy to good use. A friend of mine gives his earnings to a children's hospital. I know it seems out-of-season, but I always hate rushing to get a costume done well, so I figured I'd say it about seven or eight months in advance.

Awesome comedy. Also has actually made me cry twice, and altered my view on death. You're doing yourself a huge disservice if you don't watch this show.
-
According to my friend, it's actually good if you think of it as a comedy instead. It's still Twilight though, so I'm not planning to waste $10 to see it. If it's still out that is.
