I'M NOT DEEEAAAADD!!!!

Hey guys!
Sorry about the super long hiatus! I had originally planned to post something as soon as my summer break ended, but school came and I was buried in work (I still am, by the way).
If this continues, I have no idea whether or not I can post regularly, or post at all really.
I'll try my best to, but I can't make any promises (Heck, I even considered to stop blogging because of my busy schedule, but it didn't feel right to just abandon my blog without any clear explanation)

About the little projects I'm doing now (Example: Free! Reactions): I don't really know if I'll get to continue them; I mean I'm only at, what, episode 5, and Episode 10 just came out this week. It all really depends on my schedule and if I have free time. So, don't be surprised if I just stop! As for future projects, like Ouran High School Host Club, I'm thinking about doing posts about the whole series and my favorite parts and such instead of individual reactions/reviews of each episode.

I've never really put my tumblr on here so, why not? http://izz23.tumblr.com/
I don't really do much on it, other than reblogging things I find cool, but if you want to check it out, feel free to do so! If I change my web URL (doubtful, but possible) I'll try to post it on here (assuming that I still blog on Blogger)
Just a heads up: it's very possible that I may be combining my Blogger with my tumblr (In fact, I'm doing that with a lot of my stuff now). I'm still thinking about it though. Of course, I'll tell you guys if I do.

Anyways, for some good news: Halloween is almost here! (Well, it's still like a month away, but...) I plan on cosplaying as Sasha Blaus from Shingeki no Kyojin (or Attack on Titan, which is like the most-hyped anime right now (totally deserves it though)) My friend gave me the idea since we both always have ponytails and love to eat. I think I said that I might go as Seychelles or Taiwan from Hetalia before, but my friends are group-cosplaying, so I thought that I might as well do so to. If I have time (and finish the costume), I'll post a picture ^^

That's all for now; I don't know when I'll post again, but hopefully it will be soon!

Free! Episode 4 Reactions

Spoilers Contained Inside!!! You have been warned OwO...

This is my post for episode 4 of Free! Hope you enjoy~! even though its very poorly made and crappy~!

Reactions During:

• Can't decide? CAN'T DECIDE!!? THEY'RE ALL PRACTICALLY THE SAME!!! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ
• Whoosh! Like a ninja! 
• I love how when Gou says "can't you listen to what I have to say," Haru just wiggles away~ 
• "Biceps!" -Gou Matsuoka
• "It's not beautiful..."-Rei Ryugazaki ლ(ಠ益ಠლ
• You just pissed off the shark, Nitori
• Iwatobi uniforms? Oh god please no ⊙△⊙
• "But it's not beautiful" -Rei Ryugazaki ლ(ಠ益ಠლ
• "No, that requires effort" -Haruka Nanase (I'm totally quoting this everywhere I go now)
• BUTT SHOT!
• "I haven't learned any of the concepts" -Nagisa 333
• "Wow, I can't tell that its different from his other swimsuits" Makoto took the words (and facial expression) straight out of my mouth (and face)
• While watching the guys shop, Gou is acting like the average Free! fangirl
• Was I the only one who squealed when I saw Rin's pained/sad look?
• The moment Rin grabs and stops Haru from leaving: Oh god, the fanfics/fangirls are coming! RUN!!
• I cracked up at "Not a speedo: Check" for some reason
• Rei: swim, swim, swiajsdkfasdf, die
• That moment when you think that Ama-sensei is finally going to give really good advice with Edison's quote ("Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration")
• Did a butterfly just seriously land on his collarbone...and then his finger (I want that to happen to me too! ´^｀)
• If you think about it (logically), the butterfly stroke fits Rei perfectly because he keeps sinking

Thoughts After:

• Ama-sensei's quote from Edison reminds me of a song called "Remember the Name", preformed by Fort Minor. I found the song while watching Hetalia AMVs on Youtube; it's pretty awesome, you should try listening to it
• I'm really looking forward to the next episode; the cave/island looks really pretty (I know I've said this so many times, but KyoAni did a really great job with the water)
• I squealed at the last picture where Haru is playing video games at Makoto's house and we get to see Makoto's siblings again

That's all for now! And I know that I haven't posted in a while. I forgot to say that I would be gone for a long while :P

Bye!

Free! Episode 3 Reactions

Spoilers Contained Inside!!! You have been warned OwO...

Hi guys! This is my crappy reaction post of Episode 3 of Free! Iwatobi Swim Club! ENJOY!

Reactions During:

• OMGAHSDKFJ!!! The way Nagisa turns his head against Haru's side is so cute!!! >ヮ<
• Ryugazaki's a psychic!! (lol more like Nagisa's just predictable)
• An improvement! Haru's not stripping when he sees water now!
• "Look at those deltoids!" -Gou Matsuoka ♥∇♥
• "His biceps were beautiful!" -Gou Matsuoka ♥∇♥
• The way Rei pushes up his glasses are quite different from other anime characters
• "It defies reason!" -Rei Ryugazaki ლ(ಠ益ಠლ
• Finland!! wait, Iceland? (Nah that's just Nitori, false alarm ≖_≖)
• When Nagisa praises Rei's form while pole vaulting: My shipping senses are tingling! ✧ω✧
• "Haru-chan-san" -Rei Ryugazaki
• Yay! The Mastsuoka siblings finally meet in person again!
• He can't swim (knew it). What are you guys doing hurry up and save him!!! 
• Gosh the water animation really is beautiful ◕◡◕
• DAFUQ!?? What's up with that pose!!?? щ(°Д°щ) It's like a huge "✖"!!!

Thoughts After:

• I bet that there is a NagisaxRei ship out there thanks to this episode. There's probably also RinxHaru, HaruxMakoto, GouxMakoto, GouxNagisa, and GouxThe-captain-guy ships (it's pretty much every character with every other character, really .__.)
• I feel like there's less manservice. Or maybe I'm just getting used to it (kind of like how once you see so much fanservice, you start to not care anymore and ignore it)
• There's actually less manservice in each episode than I initially thought ⊙‸⊙

You may have noticed that I included quotes this time. I'm thinking of trying to keep track of everything Gou (and possibly Rei) says just for the heck of it :\

That's all for now! ^^

lol no favorite moment this time :P

More Hetalia~! (Deal with it!)

Hi guys!
Recently, I've been getting really into Hetalia (well, on tumblr on Youtube at least) So, I thought I might share a few things :)
So, thanks to tumblr, I now know of and love (or love more) a whole bunch of Hetalia characters and groups, including the Nordics, Hong Kong, Kirkland Family, and the Tomato Gang. Fanart of them are just so cute ¯///v////¯ I've also seen a few things that just pounded me in the face with sad feels, like American Revolution Fanart.
The other thing that I've found recently are these birthday scenario memes. There too hard and I'm kind too lazy to explain, so here are two of them with my favorites outcomes:

The very first one that I found, which I'm extremely happy with,

since it says that I get to play video games with Taiwan!!! >v<

Get Married to Norway...I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind that at all >.>

And finally, the last Hetalia-related thing that I wanted to share are the character and group theme songs!
The first one I found was of the Nordic 5, called "Always With You" on tumblr (yay!) After that, I looked up other songs on Youtube, and now I especially love Japan's "Excuse me, I'm Sorry" for its catchy tune, Hong Kong's "Maji Kandou" for its awesome beat and hilarious lyrics (Prussia has lost the right to call himself awesome!), and China's "Nihao China" and "Aiyaa Four Thousand Years" (Made me cry and get goosebumps all over, I don't even know why). Others that I also enjoyed are England's "Pub & Go", Iceland's "With Love from Iceland", and Taiwan's "Poi Poi Poi". ^^

Now, on a completely different note, Comic-con, which took place in San Diego this year, just ended a couple days ago...AND I AM SO JEALOUS OF EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO COULD GO! >.< I've never gone to Comic-con before (the only con I've ever gone to is Anime Expo, actually .__.), but it looks really fun. ;_; If I could have gone this year, I would do the following:

• go to the Legend of Korra panel, see/meet Mike and Bryan, and watch the first episode of Korra Book 2 that they debuted there
• go to Wong Fu Productions' booth and buy Awkward Animals and Nice Guy shirts. Also, try to make it to their Meet & Greet
• see cosplay
• dress in cosplay

Oh well...I'm pretty much broke from AX anyways :P

That's all for now guys, bye! XD

Anime Expo 2013!

Hello! This post will be about my visit to Anime Expo (like...2 weeks ago. I've been lazing around, I admit it -__-）Don't expect too much though. It's been a while, plus all I really did was look around at stalls.
Unfortunately, this year, my friends and I were only able to go through the Artist Alley and Exhibit Hall (no panels :'( ). It was our first year for all of us, so we got pretty tired quickly. We had originally planned to head there in the morning at 8am and leave around 6pm. In the end, we only hung around for about six hours :\
But, Anime Expo was still really cool! There were so many fellow otakus and cosplayers everywhere! ^^
When we first arrived, the Artist Alley and Exhibit Hall hadn't opened yet, so we walked around the lobby and took pictures of cosplayers. Unexpectedly (at least to me), there were a lot of Adventure Time and Homestuck fans at Anime Expo. I also didn't expect to see that many couples that were cosplaying together. One really cute couple cosplayed as a Mincraft player and a creeper. It was so cute <3
When the upper floors at AX finally opened, my friends and I went straight to Yummei's table in the Artist Alley. I got to buy her book, 1000 Words, and one of her prints. :D I also met a artist I didn't know, named Angela (her username is AsianPanties on deviantart, which I now follow) and bought two of her prints. At the Artist Alley, there was a lot of Free! (which was released just the day before I went) and Sherlock stuff, which my friends fangirl about... .___.
After eating lunch outside, we went back in to look around the Exhibit Hall. Two of my friends wanted some Maple Story stuff, so the rest of us walked around and explored. I saw a lot of interesting things, like wigs, mangas, katanas, masks, alpacas, and plushies.
After that, we pretty much went home. °_________________°

I brought back a total of nine things, listed below:

• Yuumei's 1000 Words
• A Wolf print from Yuumei
• A Pokemon Starters print and Link print from Angela
• Izaya VS Shizuo T-shirt (for me)
• Gundam T-shirt (for my brother)
• Alpaca with a Sailor Hat
• Two Pokeballs

By the end of the day, I saw a lot of cosplayers from all different kinds of fandoms, such as Attack on Titan, Pokemon, and Durarara!! I found a lot of Hetalia cosplayers, including a Belarus, Ukraine, Italy, South Korea, Chibitalia, Taiwan, 2 Englands, a couple Canadas, and a lot of Americas (all that plus my friends who were dressed as China and genderbent/Nyotalia North Korea). Two of my other friends were dressed as Blake and Ruby from Roosterteeth's RWBY. There were a lot less Roosterteeth fans (especially RWBY because technically there are only four video trailer of it released so far) at AE, but I did manage to find two other Rubys and one Yang.

Here are just a few of the pictures:

Best Celty cosplay I've ever seen.

(Celty's so awesome!!!! I love her so much!)

Later, I saw this person sitting at a booth in the Artist Alley ^^

 

A Kagura and two Team Magma girls

You have no idea how many SNK fans there were out there.

So many people were cosplaying them, and in big groups like this.

The same Celty from before, this time with an Izaya!

You have no idea how much I love this shirt <3

I'm hoping that next year, I can go to AX again. So far, I'm planning on cosplaying as Taiwan, but if I can't finish her clothes on time, I'll just buy a blue dress and go as Seychelles.
That's all for now! Bye guys! XD

Free! Episode 2 Reactions

Spoilers Contained Inside!!! You have been warned OwO...

Hey guys! This is my reaction post to Episode 2 of Free! Again, I will no longer be posting summaries (or episode titles) so go search that up yourselves! >.< Let's Begin!

Reactions During:

• More Dubstep!!!
• DaFUQ!!!???? How does Haru swim that fast!???? Just, how does one simply swim so FAST!!!!???
• Oh god, I love Gou so much...("Girls my age shouldn't ogle at naked men!" （〃・・〃） "I can't get enough of those triceps!" (‘∀’●)♡ ...."Traps and pecs everywhere!" (●♡∀♡) )
• Wow that squid looks really delicious. I'm getting hungry -___-
• Wait, Rin's not on the swim team!??? WHAT IS GOING ONNN!!!???? ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ
• Isn't that track team guy in the opening and closing songs??? (I sense another major character XD)
• Wow, Ama-sensei can be really scary, can't she (she gives off the feeling of this: 凸(◕‿◕✖) )
• OHMAHGAWD, little Rin and Gou are soooo cute!!!!
• awww, when Gou said she'd join the swim team, I thought she'd be swimming (━┳━ _ ━┳━)
• Is it strange that I find it funny that, despite being the coach, the coach only has a bunch of cameos
• Little Rin walks past Little Haru: ;_;
• That old picture Rin took confuses me ( ・◇・)？

Thoughts After:

• Well, there's definitely less fanservice in this episode than in the last
• Still loving the closing song
• A lot of people ship Makoto and Gou together, because they had a lot of interaction in this episode. On the other hand, people ship Gou and Nagisa, probably because of the "Gou, Kou!" scene and because they are in the same year. Personally, I think I'm being dragged into the MakotoxGou ship .___.

That's all for episode 2, I'll see you next time!

Favorite Part:

1 YEEAARRR!!! ONE WHOLE YEEEAARRR!!!

YAY!!!! Life's Camera is now ONE YEAR OLD!!!!
...
that is all :>


I'm just kidding. But really, I don't have much to say.

Time really flies. I remember that when I was in elementary school, summer felt like a few years -____-
Now it seems so short.

I should mention that I recently got a tumblr (I mentioned this in my last post, my reactions to the first episode of the Free! anime). I don't think I'll be doing much with it, because right now, I only use it to like photos that I see. If I do start blogging on tumblr, it will most likely be for reblogging stuff that I find kawaii/funny/amusing/badass/cute/inspiring/hella-funny/interesting.

The following are animes/mangas that I (still) plan on reviewing/reacting to....eventually:

• Durarara!!
• Ouran High School Host Club
• Kaichou Wa Maid-sama
• Someday's Dreamers
• and the one I just started, Free!

And finally, I want to thank any and everyone who comes across this blog and has read any one of my posts.
That's all for now guys, bye!!! XD
