Am I, Do I?

Am I needed?
Am I loved?
Do I serve a purpose?

I would leave this world now, but that would be far too pitiable.
I don't need anyone's pity.
I would leave this world now, but I wonder, "Would anyone miss me?"
I don't know anyone's love.
I would leave this world now, but I feel that my existence would be wasted.
I don't have a reason not to go.

But do I deserve to go?

Dissatisfaction

What exactly is it that you want?
I do not want all the money in the world.
I can't and don't want to live off or on of my hobbies.
Music bores me...

...I'm too impatient for drawing

Even writing is a long process.

I guess that answer would be...happiness.

And what is happiness?

To me, happiness is not sure bliss.

Sitting on a quiet, breezy hill would be boring as hell.

Happiness is not with my friends, as much as I enjoy it, as it can be suffocating too.

Happiness should be exciting, not normal.

Happiness should be in the future.

And where does your future lie?

My future...

It could be where I am now...

...It could be halfway across the universe.

But my future...

I...do not know.

I don't know.

The birds start to chirp.
Water from up above stops.
Mirror on the ground.

All birds stop singing.
The first snow starts to fall down.
Color is erased.

The clouds are parting,
returning light to the world.
Arising darkness.

Peaceful and quiet.
In the forest, nothing moves.
Waterfall crashes.

My Name

My name is a
cool breeze sweeping through a disturbingly peaceful grassy hill overlooking the shining abyss of an ocean.
My name is a
shining sun floating in a pond of baby blue.
My name is a
swirling tornado of blacks and grays amidst a thunderstorm of flashing brightness.
My name is a
rainbow that stretches across the sky after a deadly storm.

I am ME,

and my name is mine alone.

warmth (wôrmth)

noun
1.  The bright colors of the sun sinking into the ocean.

A Light Drizzle

Another day
At school with them.
It is warm, humid, hot.
They talk, never stopping like a blazing fresh fire.
I don't mention the packing...

...I'm in a new place, home, school.
Here, I'm invisible.
I move around from group to group of people.
Like the wind.
What have I done?
I sit.
It is raining.

Then they come.
At my door.
Why?
They are drenched.
They drown me with questions.
But I can't hear a thing.

The sun has come out of hiding, and the rain is but a light drizzle.

Hello!
I just wanted to make a post about Chirstopher Dorner.
Here's a video of the Just Kidding Crew talking about his manifesto (I know they make funny videos usually, but they are actually talking pretty seriously about this topic in their News Channel). I have so many thoughts about this topic, so I suggest you watch it, because my opinion is mainly the same the people in the video.

Before, since I don't really watch or read news much, all I heard was that a man named Chirstopher Dorner was killing police officers and people around Big Bear. However, after listening to them talk (as well as their summarized version of his manifesto), I have formed a different opinion of this man. Now, I have a strange sense of respect for Chirstopher Dorner.

Again, my opinions are pretty much the same as the JK crew, so just take my opinion as theirs.
Bye! :D

Poems!

Hello! ^^
I just wanted to say that I've made a new page called "Poems".
Here I'll post.....poems. O.O
The thing is though, that I don't write poems very often. :\ So, there won't be a set time that I'll update the page.
That's all for now! Bye! :D

Also, Happy President's Day! >.<

SAO Ep. 25 "The World Seed" Review

*Warning: This post contains SPOILERS. If you do not want to be spoiled, DO NOT READ THIS POST

....I warned you... O.O*

Yes! :D We are on the final episode of the anime adaption of Sword Art Online, "The World Seed".

So, Kazuto is riding his bike towards the hospital to meet Asuna. However, just before entering the building, Sugou attacks and cuts him on the right arm. Sugou is seriously trying to kill Kazuto and would have succeeded in doing so if it weren't for his eye (affected from when it was slashed by Kirito in ALO in the last episode). When he tries to attack for a second time, Kazuto manages to smash Sugou's head against the side of a car and puts the knife against his neck. Sugou faints and he leaves to go to Asuna's hospital room. When he reaches her, they hug and kiss.

Kazuto and Asuna's reunion in reality.

Months later, in May of 2025, Kazuto and Asuna eat lunch together outside at school (it's the one opened by the government for SAO players who were students; mentioned previously in episode 21). Meanwhile Shinozaki Rika (Lisbeth) and Ayano Keiko (Silica) watch them angrily from a building (remember, they both had crushes on Kazuto).

From left to right: Agil (can't really see), Klein, Kazuto, and Thinker.

Then, Kazuto, Asuna, and Suguha go to the Dicey Cafe, owned by Andrew Gilbert Mills (Agil). They are surprised by a group of friends who are SAO players, who congratulate Kazuto on completing SAO.
At the party, Kazuto talks to Klein (Tsuboi Ryoutarou), Agil, and Thinker about the World Seed and VRMMORPGs while Suguha sits in a corner.

From left to right: Lisbeth, Silica, Yolko, Asuna, Sasha, Yulier

In ALO, Leafa tries to fly to the moon, but fails and begins to fall down. She is caught by Kirito and decides to teach him how to dance. She tells him about how she would never be able to catch up with the Kirito's other friends, who are SAO players, since she had never been to Aincrad before.

New Aincrad (I don't know why, but this reminds me of Chirstmas O.O)

Then, Kirito grabs Leafa and flies near the World Tree. He shows her the new Aincrad Castle, and asks her to help him finish all 100 floors, since all his stats had been reset. Kirito's other friends appear, and everyone flies up to new Aincrad.

The End.

Well, that's the end of the Sword Art Online anime! :D
Too bad it ended :'(
Here's two group pictures of the Sword Art Online characters. ^^

Eugene, Oberon, Recon, Sakuya, Alicia Rue, Klein, Leafa, Kirito, Asuna, Yui, Lisbeth, Silica & Pina, Sachi, Agil, Heathcliff, Thinker, Yulier, Argo

I like how Heathcliff has the peace sign >.<

Left to right: Sinon/Asada Shino (from the Gun Gale Online Arc in the light novels), Suguha, 

Kazuto, Klein/Ryoutarou, Asuna, Lisbeth/Rika, Silica/Keiko, Agil/Andrew

I think that's it for now.
Although I'm done with reviewing/summarizing SAO, I think that I'll make more posts about SAO.
I'm definitely planning on making at least one more post comparing gigguk and my opinions about the series. But, I might also share some pictures that I found. Or explain my opinions on Heathcliff/Kayaba Akihiko or talk about Argo.
Anyways, I hope you'll watch the anime adaption of Sword Art Online and continue to read my posts ^^
Bye! :D

SAO Ep. 24 "Gilded Hero" Review

*Warning: This post contains SPOILERS. If you do not want to be spoiled, DO NOT READ THIS POST

....I warned you... O.O*

Yay! We're almost there ^^ This is the review of episode 24 of Sword Art Online, "Gilded Hero".

So, Yui has just teleported herself and Kirito through the door at the top of the dome. At this moment, Kirito realizes that the whole Grand Quest was a lie (because originally, the door could not be opened. The two eventually find Asuna in the birdcage and hug. :)

Aw...finally reunited. :3

Suddenly, Kirito senses someone and draws his sword. Yui tells them that something bad was coming and disappears, while Kirito and Asuna are forced onto the floor of the birdcage. At this time, the King Oberon (otherwise known as that bast*rd, Sugou Nobuyuki) appears, revealing the force affecting them to be a new type of "Gravity Magic". He creates a pair of chains and hangs Asuna from them. Then he uses Kirito's own swords and stabs him with him, lowering the Kirito's Pain Absorption level from 10 to 8, causing him to fell pain. He explains that if the level were to be lowered under 3, then it would start to affect Kirito's real body. (So basically, the lower in the level of the Pain Absorption, the more it hurts :\)
Sugou then proceeds to Asuna and starts to....strip her O.O....yeah...
Meanwhile, Kayaba Akihiko suddenly appears to Kirito telling him that Kirito had shown him that human will could overpower the system. Then, Kirito manages to stand up and, using Kayaba's system ID, Heathcliff, takes away Sugou's administrative privileges. Kirito summons Excalibur (strongest sword in the game), throws it to Sugou, sets the Pain Absorption level to 0, and challenges Oberon. They fight, and Kirito wins (duhh), killing Sugou's ALO character, Oberon.

This picture...is actually kind of scary... o.o

Kirito holds the "World Seed"

Kirito walks over to Asuna, apologizes, and logs her out. He calls out to Kayaba, who appears, and gives him the "World Seed", a program that could create a VRMMORPG (its actually pretty important in the later volumes of the light novel). Before disappearing, Kayaba tells Kirito that he could do whatever he wanted with it--sell it, put it on the internet for free, or destroy it. Then, Kirito calls out to Yui, who appears.
They hug and he logs out. In the real world Kazuto wakes up and tells Suguha that he was going to the hospital. He leaves on his bike while it is snowing.

Yay! Another great episode ^^
Oberon's dead (?) and Asuna has been saved :D
Happy ending, right?
...welll there's still another episode ;)
Here's some more fanart and awesome pictures:

"What if Kirito and Asuna swapped places....."

Another hilarious image by GreenTeaNeko :3

Haha...^^ LOL

And last but not least, is Gigguk's reaction video!!! He's absolutely hilarious!!!! XD
Again, he swears a bit :|

So, the next review/summary I do on Sword Art Online will be on the last episode of the anime adaption. However, I'm thinking of making one more post comparing my overall thoughts of SAO and gigguk's, since he has reviewed it and I've been putting up his reactions to two of the episodes.
But, that's all for now :) Bye! Join me next time! :D

SAO Ep. 23 "Bonds" Review

*Warning: This post contains SPOILERS. If you do not want to be spoiled, DO NOT READ THIS POST

....I warned you... O.O*

Now, I'm about to review "Bonds", episode 23 of the SAO anime. ^^

This episode begins with Kazuto asking Suguha to meet up in the north terrace of Aarun in ALO after arguing with each other. Suguha logs into the game and meets Recon, who escaped from the Salamanders. He confesses his love to Suguha, but is rejected with a punch.

Sorry Recon :(

Then, Leafa flies to the terrace where Kirito is waiting and they fight. In the last moment, both throw away their swords and hug in mid-air. Kirito tells Leafa about his thoughts, and she decides to continue to help him save Asuna.

Kirito, Leafa, and Recon, meet together at the base of the World Tree again and challenge the Grand Quest. It is decided that Kirito will use his speed to rush to the top of the tree while Leafa and Recon act as healing and support. However, the Guardian NPCs start to target Leafa and Recon. They fight back, and Recon eventually uses a strong self-destruct spell, killing both himself and a large number of NPCs.

*sigh* It's another one of those weird faces Kirito makes when fighting -_-

Then, Alicia Rue and Sakuya arrive with their Sylph and Cait Sith forces (they had finished their preparations using the money Kirito gave them). Meanwhile, Kirito and Leafa fight together, back-to-back. When they near the top of the dome, Leafa gives Kirito her katana and he forces his way through a group of NPCs. At this time, the Cait Siths and Sylphs retreat.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

At the dome's top, Kirito is unable to open the door. Yui explains that the door was never meant to be opened, but using the administrator's card that Asuna gave them, they manage to teleport through it before NPC Guardians attacked them.

Well, this episode definitely had more fighting and action in it then the one before ^^

I'm so excited because Kirito will finally meet Asuna again! I just keep fangirling!!!! >.<

Here's another fanart drawn by GreenTeaNeko on Deviantart.com:

Haha! >.< Asuna and I have the same reactions ^^

And look at Sugou/Obreron! Was he eating ramen or something O.o

That's all for now :)

Join me next time! :D We have two more episodes to go! >.<

Decisions

One by one, they disappear.

They are swept away, like the waves of an ocean or a leaf in the breeze.

Should I shine brighter, so that my light can reach them, feel them, warm them?

Or should I slowly fade away, retreating into the darkness, away from their own lives?

SAO Ep. 22 "Grand Quest" Review

*Warning: This post contains SPOILERS. If you do not want to be spoiled, DO NOT READ THIS POST

....I warned you... O.O*

Today, I'm reviewing episode 22 of Sword Art Online, "Grand Quest".

Last time, after arriving in Aarun, Yui told Kirito that Asuna seemed to be directly above them, and so he flew upwards. Leafa tries to follow him, telling him that it was impossible to fly up because there was a barrier where the clouds were (Previously, players had tried to reach the top of the World Tree by flying up.)
However, Kirito ignores her and rams into the barrier and Yui tries to call for Asuna. Up in the birdcage, Asuna hears Yui's calls and drops the card she had found in the Experiment room. Down below, Kirito catches the card, and Yui tells him that it was a System Admin access code, leading them to believe that Asuna had heard them and was waiting.

While watching, I found it kind of weird that the call wasn't really falling down, but floating. :\

Kirito thanks Leafa for helping him and heads to the base of the World Tree. When he arrives, the swords of two huge statues block the entrance, asking him if he was going to go in. A window pops up, and Kirito accepts the grand quest.

Entrance to the World Tree

He enters a huge dome, and flies up, killing armored NPC guardians that are in the way. Kirito is powered by the thought of Asuna, and continues to fly, ignoring the NPC's attacks. Eventually, his HP reaches zero before reaching the entrance to the World Tree and he becomes a Remain Light (I didn't know what they were called until now, but remain lights are the little fire things that players in ALO turn into after dying. They can be revived through magic by another player while in this stage, but after a certain time, they are resurrected and transported to their race's city)

While waiting for the time limit of the remain light, Leafa bursts into the dome and takes him back to the entrance. She revives Kirito, telling him not to rush in by himself. However, Kirito tells her that he couldn't and had to see Asuna again. At the mention of her name, Leafa realizes that Kirito was Kazuto. She calls Kirito "onii-chan" (means older brother in Japanese), causing Kirito to realize that Leafa was Suguha. Then, Leafa logs out in shock.

In the real world, Kazuto knocks on Suguha's door and tries to apologize for using the NerveGear again (he thought that she was mad at him for that). Suguha then opens the door and says that she was mad at Kazuto for being nice to her after returning from SAO and making her fall in love with Kazuto (and then Kirito). When Kazuto reminds Suguha that they were siblings, she reveals that she knew they were cousins. Kazuto tries to apologize, and Suguha slams the door shut. :(

Someone added a caption to this screenshot and I thought that it was funny :P

Episode 22 was just another episode of SAO that I felt wasn't really that important. All we really learn is that Kirito gets a weird card thingy and Leafa and Kirito know each others real identities.

Well...that's actually what I think now, after watching the whole series and reading the light novels O.O

So, you might think differently. (Yeah, I know I really suck at this reviewing thing -_-)

That's all for now. Hope you join me next time :D

Harlem Shake

I know that you have probably already heard of the Harlem Shake. Because it is everywhere.
But, I still want to make a short post on it. :)
In case you don't know, the Harlem Shake videos are about 30 seconds long and a single person with a mask or helmet dances by themselves for 15 seconds. Then, the beat drops and everyone in the room dances. Here are some examples (I should say that after a while, listening to the videos gets really annoying;also, for some reason, in a lot of the Harlem Shake Versions, people are usually half naked or upside down or dancing inappropriately O.O). Enjoy!

This one is apparently the official "army" version of the Harlem Shake.

I liked how everyone dances with gaming-related stuff on :D

Love the guy punching the giraffe! >.<

This is a Youtubers version made by the Fine Bros. I like how there are kids, a teen, and grandparents in the background of the first fifteen seconds. When everyone came in, I was really surprised O.O

Bestamvsofalltime

Hello!
No, I did not type the title of this post wrong ^.^
Bestamvsofalltime is the username of a group of people who make AMVs, or Anime Music Videos.
Actually, that isn't quite right. The truth is, I'm not exactly sure what or who Bestamvsofalltime is/are. However, if he/she is just one person, then he/she collects a bunch of AMVs from different people who make them, and put it under the Youtube username, "Bestamvsofalltime". If "Bestamvsofalltime" is a group of video editors, then they all make their own videos and post it under that username. Well, in both cases, AMVs make by different people are put under the username "Bestamvsofalltime" -.-
Also, I should mentions that although I call this account, "Bestamvsofalltime", all these videos are posted in a bunch of accounts similarly spelled to "Bestamvsofalltime". For example, there's "Bestamvzofalltime", "Bestamvzofalltime1", etc. (I think that they capitalicize certain letters, but I'm not sure which). So, if you try to search the username, you may as well watch one of their videos and click on the column of similar videos on the right of the Youtube page to watch the others that they make.
I was originally introduced to their videos through my brother. It took me a while, but now I'm finally watching them on my own. (At first, he would tell me to watch them with him)

There are a bunch of awesome, funny, and just really good videos, but the below are just a few that I liked.

This one is called "Secret of Emotions". It uses multiple animes, which is the reason why I like this video so much. They did a really good job at video editing all of this. It's really cute too ^^ See for yourself.

This video is called, "Skittles" and uses the anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which I have not watched yet, but have heard of many times before. I like it mostly because of the song, "Candy Pop", but the video editing is nice too.

This last video is called "(This is) RANDOMNESS!?" and it's exactly what it sounds like....You'll understand me if you watch it -.-;

There are so many more videos I want to show you, but I just can't because there would be too many >.<
So, I'll list them here (just by their titles. If you want to watch the videos, I suggest that you type in "Bestamvsofalltime" and the video title.)

• Affective School Girls-overall, I thought it was hilarious >w<
• Fairytale of Lies-this made me want to read the manga, Romeo x Julet (there's an anime too!). It was so awesome.
• Black Impulse-very well made :)
• Nothing to Lose-made me remember how sad Ace's death was in One Piece D':
• With Lightning Speed-a tiny bit perverted, but funny. I like the song :D ("GetonGetoffGetonGetoffGetonGetoffGetonGetoffGetonGetoffGetonGetoffGeton........")
• Each Moment-love the beat and song
• Beat Drop-opera!!???? O.o REALLY love the beat >.<
• Vagabond-at first, I didn't like the beginning, but then I started to like it more and more in the middle

Again, there are tons more, but these are just some of my favorites so far. All of them have GREAT VIDEO EDITING, and AWESOME SONGS.
Go watch some videos!!! >.<
Bye!

Happy Valentine's Day! ^^

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! ^.^
Another holiday has come where people receive sweets and get fat (including me) -.-

Anyways, here I have a few pictures that I've taken. It's been a while, hasn't it :)



I used Adobe Photoshop for this picture, and I just really, really like it a lot. It's like a compilement of some the animes that I've liked.
I used Goku from Dragonball, a Gundam, Happy from Fairy Tail, Aincrad from Sword Art Online, a picture of Totoro with a No-Face/Kaonashi's (Spirited Away) mask, medium and chibi totoro from My Neighbor Totoro, Nyanko-sensei and his imposter from Natsume Yujinchou, and fanart of Asuna, Kirito, and Yui from Sword Art Online.

Originally, I had wanted to put the word "Stand" or put a quote about standing up for what you believe in somewhere in the picture. But in the end, I couldn't find a good color for the words, so I didn't.

 I used a site called pixlr.com and added effects into the picture. I  heard that pixlr.com was better than an instagram, but I'm not really sure since I don't have one. :\

Visit pixlr.com/o-matic if you want to edit your photos like this.

I also used Pixlr for this photo.
This photo is for my photography class (actually all of these are), so I just randomly wrote, "This is the end" (I have no idea exactly what is ending) and crumpled, folded, and reopened the note.
The original picture turned out better than I thought because of the lighting of the room I was in. After I used Pixlr, it ended up looking even better XD

Again, this is another photo that I used Pixlr on.

I took it on my school campus. ^^

 This one I didn't do anything on (no Photoshop or Pixlr or anything).
The light is a pen with a flashlight on the back of it.
I remember taking this at around 11 something at night. I was in a really weird posture. My hands were around the pen, so I had to use my foot to click the shutter on my camera O.o
Someone told me that the bottom looks like clouds. Its actually carpet. Though thinking of them as if they were clouds and the light as the sun is pretty cool too. :)

The last one for today is one that I finished on Photoshop today. I took four pictures of my hands in a heart shape. (Two pictures of my left hand and two of my right; I didn't change the size of the parts of my hands, so it took a while to photoshop :\)

It was really hard since I was doing everything by myself. But it looks really nice, so I guess that in the end, it was worth it. :D

I guess that it's fairly appropriate to end a Valentine's Day post with a picture associated with hearts -_-

Bye! :D

By the way, did you know that Valentine's Day was invented by Hallmark cards? Yes, the company that makes cards. Valentine's Day is a holiday made for commercial purposes

Happy Chinese New Year!

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to make a short post saying "Happy Chinese New Year!!!" >.<
This year, it is the year of the snake ^^

I found this picture on Google, but it is from a blog about amigurumis and crocheting (which I love if I haven't mentioned it before).
Check it out! http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/

I haven't gotten to see all of it, but it looks pretty interesting :) I'll read everything on it later.

Recently, I've been reading the manga, Kekkaishi, by Tanabe Yellow.
It's basically about two groups of families, called kekkaishis/"barrier masters" who exterminate ayakashi using these box/barrier tecniques. I remember that I have watched bits and pieces of the anime somewhere before, but I would say that this is the first time that I've read the manga.
So far, I think that Kekkaishi is pretty amazing. >.<

I still can't tell whether Masomori is good or bad yet.... o.o
I guess I'll just have to read more (and if you want to know who Masomori is, then you should read it too :D)

Bye!

SAO Ep. 21 "The Truth About ALfheim" Review

*Warning: This post contains SPOILERS. If you do not want to be spoiled, DO NOT READ THIS POST

....I warned you... O.O*

Hello! I'm about to review/summarize episode 21 of Sword Art Online, "The Truth About ALfheim" ^^

So, Kirito and Leafa finally reach Aarun and hear an announcement for players to log out because the servers were about to close. Then, Leafa leads Kirito and Yui to a cheap inn because Kirito ran out of money :P
Meanwhile, Asuna has made her way out of the bird cage, and arrives at some sort of tunnel (looks man-made, with white sliding doors which is strange, since ALO is a fantasy-based game)
In the real world, Kazuto is washing his face when Suguha arrives. She tells him that she had stayed up late on the internet. Kazuto tells her to turn around and dumps cold water down her back.
Asuna finds a map and looks for a place where she could log-out. A label that says "Experiment" catches her eye, and she remembers Sugou's evil plans (about the manipulation of human emotion, sense, and memory).
Kazuto and Suguha are making food. He tells her that he was going to see Asuna, and Suguha asks whether if she could come along. Kirito agrees.

Asuna enters the experiment room.

Asuna enters the rooms where the experiments are taking place. There are dozens of small pillars with holograms of brains displayed on them. She recognizes that the brains were suffering and promises to save every one of them. Suddenly, two slug monsters enter the room, forcing Asuna to hide.
On the bus, Kazuto and Suguha talk what school Kazuto would go to (because he didn't study during his two years in SAO). He tells her that the government was going to open a school for SAO players, but says that he thinks it is actually for observing the students.

Asuna discovers a black cube and manages to open up windows with a card she found. Just before logging out, she is caught by the two slugs/"scientists". Asuna manages to keep the card from the system console without them knowing before they take her back to the bird cage.
In the hospital room, Kazuto introduces Suguha and the sleeping Asuna to each other. Suguha starts to regret coming and questions her feelings toward her cousin.
Later, Kirito and Leafa log in to ALO, and Leafa cries saying that she was heartbroken. Kirito comforts her. The two go outside when Yui says that Asuna was directly above them. Kirito is surprised and starts to fly upwards.

....well....not really much to say here :\
Also, I didn't post that many pictures this time because I think that you should watch gigguk's reaction video to Episode 21 of SAO (below). I thought that it was absolutely hilarious and it's a thousand times better than this. >.<
Gigguk has also made a reaction video for Episode 24 as well as a review for Sword Art Online (like...a real one. It's nothing like what I do).  I'll shows those two videos later :) (I should also say that gigguk curses and stuff sometimes :\)

That's all for now! Enjoy and bye! :D

SAO Ep. 20 "General of the Blazing Flames" Review

*Warning: This post contains SPOILERS. If you do not want to be spoiled, DO NOT READ THIS POST

....I warned you... O.O*

Yay! We're on episode 20 of Sword Art Online, "General of the Blazing  Flames" now!!! :D (Although it's a bit sad that there are only five more episodes :( )

So, Kirito and Leafa jump out of the cave and fly into the air. They head towards the location where the Sylph and Cait Sith's leaders are meeting at, and on the way, Yui senses the 68 Salamander players ahead of them. Leafa gives up, saying that they would never make it on time, and tells Kirito to go to the World Tree, but Kirito rejects the idea.
 Just before the Salamanders attack, Kirito lands in between their forces and the Sylph and Cait Siths telling them to stop. He bluffs, saying that he is the ambassador of the Spriggan-Undine alliance, who supported the Sylph and Cait Sith alliance. Meanwhile, Leafa tells the Cait Sith (Alicia Rue) and Sylph leaders (Sakuya), who are confused, that their lives were in the hands of Kirito. The leader of the group of Salamanders, General Eugene (brother of the Salamander's leader and said to be one of the strongest players in ALO) doesn't believe Kirito and challenges him to a duel. If Kirito could survive his attacks for 30 seconds, he would believe his story.

herp-a-derp :P

During the fight, General Eugene uses his sword, "Demonic Sword Gram" which can go through swords and shields. Kirito tells General Eugene that he had managed to survive for thirty seconds, but he says that he decided to change the rule to a deathmatch. Then, Kirito uses magic to summon a smoke curtain and borrows Leafa's katana. When the smoke clears, everyone but Leafa thinks that he ran away.
Then, Kirito attacks the General from above, blocking Eugene's sword with Leafa's katana in his left hand. He uses his experience in SAO's using two swords and wins against the General.

Kirito finishes General Eugene.

This picture is just a bit....uh...disturbing?

After staring at it for a while, I get really creeped out o.o

Kirito asks Sakuya to revive General Eugene, and he asks whether he believed him or not. He is reluctanat, when a Salamander behind him, Kagamune (the guy in episode 17 who left Leafa and Kirito alone after Kirito killed his allies who was also in the Lugru Corrider) says that it was Kirito and an Undine who wiped out their party in the Lugru Corrider (previous episode). Eugene then believes Kirito and leaves.
Leafa tells Sakuya about Sigurd's betrayal and Sakuya expels him from the Sylphs. Then, Sakuya and Alicia Rue thank Kirito, and he tells them that him being an ambassador was all a bluff. They flirt with him, trying to get him to join their own forces, but he rejects their offers, saying that he had to reach the Aarun. To help out with the Cait Sith and Slyph assault on the World Tree, Kirito donates a huge amount of Yurudo/money (all from SAO of course).
When the Cait Siths and Sylphs leave, and Yui pops out of Kirito and accuses him of cheating, saying that his heart beated faster when the leaders flirted with him. Kirito says that it couldn't be helped because he was a guy. When Leafa askes about herself, Yui says that she was okay, surprising Leafa. Kirito says that it was because he didn't see her as a girl (-.-")and flies up

I don't know why, but when I see this picture, I think, "LIKE A BOSS".

Meanwhile, in the bird cage, Asuna, inputs the code she memorized before and opens the gate. She walks out and leaves.

Well, I think that this was another good episode.
In the end, when Asuna finally walked out of the gates, I felt like she could actually escape by herself and join up with Kirito and Leafa later. (I really like those kinds of stories with strong female heroines :3)
And again, I am amazed how Kirito/Kazuto is so freaking badass and awesome.

Here's another picture from Deviantart.com drawn by GreenTeaNeko:

Sakuya is on the girl on the left, Leafa is in the center,

and Alicia Rue is on the right .

I should mention that Cait Siths have ears and tails)

And this picture is kind of like Asuna's reaction to the leaders flirting with Kirito XD (by hallow1791 on Deviantart)

That's all I have really for now. I will try to finish up my reviews soon!!!
Bye! :D

Hail!!!

Hey guys! ^.^
Sorry, I've been out for a while.
I was extremely busy last week, but now, I've finished most of my work. :D

Today it actually hailed. If you live in an area where it hails normally, then you probably would ask "So what?", and if you live in a sunny place with a warm climate area, like me, then you probably would say "OHMAHGAWD!!!! REALLY!!!! THAT'S SOOOOOOOOOOO CCOOOOOLLL!!!! >.<" or something (that's what I think someone would say, based on what I heard today from my classmates -.-)
The first time happened around 9:45-10:00.
I was taking my math test (which I think that I failed) when the bell rang. The other people who had already finished left the classroom, and it was raining outside, so they all said "OHMAHGAWD!!!! IT'S RAINING!!!!". Although I do live in a sunny and warm place, rain is not that weird in this area. And I'm dead serious when I say that I heard that exact same line for five minutes straight during the passing period. The second bell rang (the one that rings at the beginning of the next period), and I was still finishing my test (my teacher let the people stay to finish our tests; he's really awesome, one of the most laid-back teachers in our school). I sit right by the door, so when I looked outside, I saw little chunks of "salt" falling from the sky.
"What the heck?" I said, "is it snowing!???" Then, my math teacher came by the door and mentioned a time when snow (soft, white, real snow) fell on campus and people took pictures of it. It started to hail harder, and by this time, everyone who was supposed to finish their test came by the door to watch. People started to take out their phones and take pictures of the hail since the ground was starting to become white (the funny thing is that my math teacher didn't care and was even encouraging people to take pictures).
After about ten minutes, the hail stopped and I finished my test (I only had one question to do anyway... -.-). So, I went to my next class with a couple of other friends who had also finished.
It was so cold. My fingers and toes were numb and I was shivering. Partly because I was only wearing two layers and partly because it was hailing just a few minutes ago. One of my friends scooped up some hail and made a snowball. To be honest, it looked like a bunch of rock salt glued together to me. :\

The second time it hailed today was about an hour later, in my PE class. Everyone decided not to dress out in our PE uniforms because the field was wet. When our PE teachers came out of the locker rooms, they told everyone that we were exercising and that we had to change, so everyone flooded back inside. Inside, my friend, "Susan", said that it would be funny if it started to rain again later. I finished changing, and when I literally stepped outside of the roofing of the locker rooms, it started to hail. I ran back inside the locker rooms, practically screaming, "SUSAN WAS RRIIIIIIGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTT!!!!!!"
I spent a few more minutes going in and out of the locker rooms to watch the hail fall, to change, and to tell the others about the hail. In the end, we just watched a movie for the rest of the period. -.-
Surprisingly, the hail actually hurt. I felt like I was being pecked at everywhere I was hit. The jacket I was wearing ended up having a bunch of darker spots made from the hail (You know how water makes the colors of clothes darker? It's kind of like that), and I showed it off to my friends, saying that they were like "battle scars" :P

Today was the first time I have ever experienced hail. And so, I will always remember it :)
I wonder what's next....flying pancakes? (you know, that would be really awesome...although I would probably get sick of pancakes after a while).
Flying pancakes remind me of Sunny with a Chance of Meatballs (the book, not the movie, because I liked the book better), and Sunny with a Chance of Meatballs reminds of me of the stories I'm writing.
I have a whole bunch of old stories that I've written and kept in my computer over the years. I also have a few that I've started but never finished (most of them were based on dreams, but I forget dreams easily if I don't write them down, so they don't have endings). I'm thinking of maybe posting a few of my works every once in a while if I have time. I also have to do my Sword Art Online anime reviews, which I still haven't finished. I promise I'll try to do that soon, and then I'll post things about gigguk and so on! :)
