Had some BK Chicken Fries today. Not the most ideal dinner but it's been a long time since I've had myself some of these.
I forgot how delicious they were, considering it's fast food. I missed them.

Currently I'm on the Highschool DxD Born train.
The fanservice is real!!
But really, I enjoy it for its tidbits of drama that come and go. As for other anime, I've been lagging so far behind the past few seasons. I'll probably pick up one or two more but my general interest in anime these days has dropped significantly. More than likely it's just me not looking for the right shows is all. Hopefully it'll pass soon.

I've gotten addicted to this trance song I found on Armada.

The album art

inspired me to recreate it as a wallpaper. Except now it has Touhou's kookiest denizen as the main character.

555.....remind's me of those old 555 deals Domino's used to have. I don't think they do anymore, well at least in my local Domino's they don't. :/

I don't think it will end in 2-3 weeks at this pace. :/
Hate to burst your bubble there buddy but it's finally ended, with a rather surprising double chapter release:
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/699
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/700
Well guys. The journey is over. After 15 long years, this manga has finally come to an end. I know that all of us, myself included, have our fair share of criticisms of the story in this manga but for what it's worth, it was damn awesome!!
The ending, specifically chapter 700, pretty much nailed what everyone was expecting. Naruto finally became Hokage, after Kakashi of course. Everyone is grown up, have gotten married, and have children and all of that jazz. Speaking of children:

I'll assume that Sasuke's and Sakura's daughter's name is...well. It's like the Bills/Beerus thing. Lol, do you want a Salad with your Uchiha?
That aside, her facial features are a good mix of her parents, although they seem to lean more towards her father. God, I love her look on the bottom right panel.
And here's another one:

No, I'm not talking about Naruto and Hinata's daughter, although I approve of the design but Lee's student/son/whatever he is. Lol, funny as heck!!
Now, speaking of Naruto's family, there's this guy:

Bolt huh? The Naruto wikia names him Boruto which sounds more fitting, like his father's name. But even so, I can't help but think of this guy when I hear that name:

Sasuke has leaned more towards the Indra/Madara look, because, well, he's Indra after all:

As for the eponymous protagonist of the series, let's see here:

Looks like Trollmoto is giving us one final goodbye. They should've named the chapter Obito Uzumaki!! lol. But seriously, he does have a stark resemblance to Obito, although that's already been made well aware.
I could go on forever digging into the details but I think I'll leave it here. It would seem that Naruto the Movie: The Last is going to be set before this chapter, like, several years. As for the follow-up manga, I'm not so sure. That may go into more details about what happened in the time skip between the end of the war and the movie or the movie and this chapter, or maybe all of it. We'll see.

I've been listening this on repeat for the last hour or so. The solemn piano gets me everytime. Starting at 2:20 in the video. It's so euphoric, majestic and downright trancy. I love it!!

Magus Night. I don't know why I keep coming back to this one. Before I discovered Touhou, I found this gem while browsing through anime songs and stuff back in 2012 (except the following video was uploaded in 2014, the song was released in 2011). The Rokugen Alice remix is quite frankly one of my top favorite vocal Touhou mixes that I've heard to this day. There is just no other theme that could describe Marisa Kirisame as good as Magus Night and its subsequent remixes. Great!!

This is why I enjoy trance. It's so nice finding these types of uplifiting tunes. It's so relaxing, but above all it creates a nice euphoric, atmospheric feeling in me. Great!!!

After this chapter, all I can say is: ugh....
I mean, it's not like it wasn't expected that this would happen but still, I personally was hoping that the story would've taken a different route. Oh well, not much we can do except observe what will happen. It's not as if our complaining of the story will make a difference lel. Kishimoto chose this route for heaven knows what reason. Since we're near the end, might as well see it through.

At first it was nearly 12 episodes every two days. I would spend days just watching marathons of anime. But as time went by and I became more open to the themes and structure of animations, that number has dropped significantly. Sure I'll have a marathon from time to time but now I'm really picky with my animes. I've become really perceptive of the story that the anime is trying to deliver and if it doesn't catch my interest, I'm not going to watch it. Because of the current repetitive nature of the japanimation industry (at least from my point of view), I only watch 1-2 animes per season now, plus any others from previous years that have caught my interest.

In my honest opinion, if a gay person wants to get married, adopt a child, go into the military and what have you, I say let them be. Just because they choose to love someone of the same sex doesn't make them any less human, nor should they be treated as such. Let them do what they want. Why should we interfere with their decisions or rights? We, at the basic human level at least, have no authority to do so. I find it absolutely disgusting whenever I hear about a gay person being mistreated/bullied/discriminated for his/her sexual orientation. The same goes for other forms of oppression, regardless of whether the victim is gay or not. In essence, just let them be.
I'm not hyper-religious but I've read the Bible. The single, most massive problem that Christians (and this could also apply to every other religion) have (from what I've observed) is their grave misunderstanding of the Bible. Some people take it word for word, some get the wrong meaning without realizing that what is in the Bible may or may not apply to them now. This is especially true for the Old Testament section. Arguably, to truly understand books like the Bible and Quran, you would have to study Theology or something similar of that nature. But that aside, because people don't fully grasp the nature of the Bible, their view of the world around them becomes twisted. Granted, not all religious people are like that. But nothing's worse than a religious fanatic spreading the wrong message. They do more judging than anything else, especially of people that are homosexual. If anything they forget what Matthew 7:1-2 says:
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged." "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.…
I've always been told that God hates sin, not the sinner. Some Christians choose to do the opposite. But I digress, and again I won't dig deep into religion for this subject because I could be wrong and my knowledge is somewhat limited. So yeah, just let gays be. If you don't approve of it, that's okay. If you do, that's okay too. Everyone has a right to his/her opinion but don't try to FORCE your own code of ethics onto others cause that in and of itself is unethical. It's just like what ounce and LINKIN PARK said. And it's just like what Optimus Prime and Sentinel Prime said as well:
"Freedom is the Right of all Sentient Beings"

Well, I can say with certainty that some fans were definitely expecting this one. It answers some questions but also raises more.

Well, the title says it all. Studio Ghibli has elected to close its animation department(sort of) due to what is apparently a string of financial losses, mostly due to the underwhelming box office performance of When Marnie Was There or something along those lines.
Apparently it all started with rumors but eventually it was confirmed by Toshio Suzuki himself that the studio would be reduced to only trademark management.
Some sources are claiming that it is only a temporary break but this is still unknown.
Here are some sources regarding the matter:

and here's the apparent confirmation from Toshio Suzuki from the Oh-Totoro Tumblr:

If anyone else has other sources, please feel free to share.
Update: Here's a new Kotaku article supporting the "break" scenario that Ghibli might take.

Link for those who haven't seen the new chapter yet: http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/687
While I have my reasons why I like/hate Obito, I can't help but find my feelz conflicted by this chapter. It felt......bittersweet? Something like that.
I guess the following image describes my state of mind the best:










Fanservice: whats the point?
in Anime District
Posted
Well in regards to fanservice it can vary.
For example, right now I'm watching Highschool DxD Born. That series is notorious for being fanservice heaven. But I particularly don't mind, because I'm not watching it for the fanservice.
At first, fanservice served as a form of...excitement. But now it's more of amusement than anything else. I'm not turned on by bouncing cowtitlers or random echii yuri moments. Not at all. I find those moments pretty gosh darn hilarious.
I pay more attention to the plot. And if fanservice serves a good purpose, that is to accelerate the plot rather than eskew it, then it's allright.
If these fanservice elements get in the way, however, then the series is lost. It becomes painfully obvious what the motive of the anime is, to generate money for the companies involved in its production, as Qrazed mentioned. I know that in the end commercial anime is all about making a profit but if generating that profit requires to throw the story in to the wind, then you have lost me as a customer.
So yeah, fanservice has its reasons. Sometimes its pointless, sometimes its humorous, and other times its exciting. So as long as it doesn't kill the plot then I'm okay with it.
