Okay. So I have seen almost all anime incarnations of the world of Angelique that have been fansubbed. I'm missing the Twin Collection OAVs and the White Wings Memoir was boring so I didn't finish it, but yeh. I think it's enough to start reviewing.

First, let's be clear. I actually, secretly or not-so after posting this, like the show. It's horribly cliche, horribly pointless, and horribly written and animated at times, but it's fun to laugh at. I don't think I was moved at any moments. Maybe when Francis was upset that Ange was being a clueless bitch as he was confessing to her, but it's his fault for liking her. And my fault for watching. :D

I'm reviewing the first anime series of Etoile, Koisuru Tenshi Angelique ~Kokoro no Mezameru Toki~ Which stands for Dear? Angel? Angelique, ~when the heart awakens~. I should look up the actualy translation but I'm lazy.( Not really a review per se, but I mock things! )

It's been like two weeks since David has posted an entry!! *goes into fits*

Yeah, random. Massive Angelique review/bash coming soon!

I've been buying things on ebay again. Someone take that site away from me-- I waste literal hours on their forums reading about Buyer Seller Drama. And I realized I'd been there for over four years, never posted a single thing.

Anyone wants to know what it's like working for AT&T, this forum tells the tale. Of particular interest are the stupid customer threads... definitely nothing new to anyone who's ever worked customer service. Howardforums


Anyway, I've been wanting to do an epic music post. Won't be so much as epic as a link to my esnips folder where you can hear all the songs. If you want any (DAVID) let me know.


Music Folder

A quick run down. I tried to limit it to songs I liked on the first listen, but the main item of interest is Mathias's song "japanesekanjiLament." I downloaded all of the Neo Angelique image songs thinking they would be trash like most of the regular Angelique songs. But it's awesome because A) It doesn't sound like something he would sing, and B) see A. Anyways, I love it and that probably means I have little taste. But Pear already knew this.

The same comment applies to "Utakate no Opera," the other Angelique song, though this one isn't from Neo. But daaang, the guy cannot sing to save his life. It really ruins the song which is otherwise quite pretty. It's like someone told Johnny to sing while he was drunk.

As far as Jet's "Mission Complete," I love the instrumental part which is why I kept the karaoke version as well. But it's definitely a brainless song. Well, not that the others mentioned thus far are pinnacles of intellectual music. LET'S SING ABOUT LOVE AND LAMENT AND DON'T FORGET COMPLETING MISSIONS.

Let's see... "Nostalgia" was awesome from the first listen and made me want to like that anime, but not even an all male cast could save me from the boredom. "Baby It's You" I remember listening to for about 15 times straight after I first downloaded it (it's definitely played out for me now though). Same goes for "Life Goes On (side K)," but David knows this!

I like a lot of the Monkey Majik songs but a lot of them sound alike. I like "I MISS YOU" because it's definitely their slowest piece so it stands out more. Plus the lyrics aren't bad and like Olivia Lufkin he can sing English and sounds genuine at it.

The other two songs are a bonus. FOR GREATNESS. Brought to you by Pear.

I play this game.

This show was so utterly pointless. A two episode OAV where the first OAV was fourteen minutes of introducing the boring 'characters' and the rest was the Student Council president menacing the five boys into performing 'Little Women' for their graduation ceremony. I would have enjoyed it more if they actually showed more than eight minutes of rehearsals and two seconds of 'performance' (all you actually see is the five in their girl costumes and a shot of the audience screaming). I'm going by my memory here since I couldn't stand to watch the whole thing twice.

( Review with videos, rambling, etc )

I made a custom mood thing. Because I r bored. Expect pointless posts just to show it off more. XD

Hehe, in my infinite boredom and trying to stave off both sleep and avoid writing, I decided to copy the idea of Tenchi in a Nutshell, only for KKM. As a bonus, it helps David get acquainted with the show. Granted, I'm taking it to an extreme for humor, and the characters are OOC as hell, and the settings and plot are made up, but eh, the lack of effort is one of the best things about it!

( 'So I had this idea for a show about NOTHING' )

The ever-switching MST crew. No Buffy!!!! *world crashes to a halt* She deserved a break from this one.



My MST crew:

Nana O. -- from 'Nana'
Wolfram -- from 'Kyou Kara Maou!'
Yuki -- from 'Fruits Basket'
Shikamaru -- from 'Naruto'

In certain circles.

I abandoned this journal for 71 weeks, or so the little thingy up there tells me. What a streak, eh? But lately I've found myself gravitating back to this old journal, wanting to make clever icons and comment in David's journal, so back from the grave it comes. Whee.

I'm currently working on an MST of the Ellipses King's Tenchi fic, I forget the title or whatever, but now I at least have a place to post it.

The Mexican Jail Board and the Two Week Hiatus stuff.


( You guessed it! Large images! )

This update will be the best of all... ME!!!


( Even more large images here )

This update will be dedicated to some really annoying posters like Cap Twister, WarOnion, and Clayton.


( More large images ahoy (yes, screenshots) )

The Ayeka Fan Club used to be a double-edged sword. On one hand, there were some pretty cool patrons, including some people whose threads always spawned an interesting flamewar (Clayton, Katsuhito Turkey, WarOnion). Yet, by the time I was banned for my ceaseless sarcasm, I wasn't even going there anymore because it seemed like all of the fun had been sucked out of the board. I remember that Divine Death Dragon thread (which I couldn't find!) that went something like "well, this board has really gone to shit" and boy, did I agree with him at the time.

Anyway, thanks to the archive machine, I managed to drudge through many, many posts (some of which were unfortunately lost) and pick out some of the best that I found. Here they are, with commentary.

Behold, snapshots of my past ON THE INTERNET.


( Large images ahoy (yes, screenshots) )

I always forgot to post this one, mainly because I already read it to Plug. But just in case I ever lose all my work (I can't trust computers anymore), here it is on the internet.

You know the warning-- MIND-SCARRING, OUT-OF-CHARACTER AZUMANGA GIRLS AHEAD!

EDIT: Dang, I forgot to thank Plug for several of the lines in this one! The really funny Heero ones. ^_^


( 'So, do you like pain?' )

WHY DO I DO THESE THINGS, LIKE THINK I CAN POSSIBLY WRITE THE ENTIRETY OF ACT I AGAIN IN THE SPAN OF A MONTH SO I CAN GET TO THE GOOD PARTS AGAIN?

In other news, my capslock key is not broken...

Welp, I'm onto Chapter Four, which is probably the most mind-numbingly boring chapter of the entire story, hence my feelings of frustration at having to slog through it AGAIN through my own ambition and aforementioned idiocy.

I think I'll probably post Chapters 1 and 2 of GR tomorrow, mainly because I'm making people who have me on their favorites lists (Hi, Plug!) look like morons with no taste. Also, I'm embarrassing myself here. I think I'll put it in the Anime Crossovers section this time, to more or less display that I am a NERD with no life still.

As if the latter was not apparent by this entire lj post. -_-

Yuki sucks.

In other words, Chapter 1: DONE.


EDIT: Also, I think that I've ended up writing one of my best scenes EVER, even though the entire time I was writing it all I thought about was how much it was sucking. Of course, it was inspired by something else, but still. It's cool.

I was so bored last night, I thought I'd actually write something. And I did, though not what I'd planned.

It's my fault for watching my old MST3K DVDs and re-reading a couple of Cyrus' old ones. Got me in the mood to MST, so here it is.

Warning, probably not funny, but there are a couple of lines in there that make me smile. And I don't know how the hell my three guys ended up being 'K'-names. I'm not sure I like Kidaf that much, but I couldn't think of a replacement.

The Misc. section of ff.net is a goldmine of crap fiction. This one was too good to pass up.

My MST crew:
Kyou -- from 'Fruits Basket'
Buffy -- from 'Buffy, the Vampire Slayer'
Kidaf -- from 'Scrapped Princess'
Kamiyama -- from 'Cromartie High School'

(These will all be OOC, for the purposes of humor. Their basic character structure is the same, but may be dragged to extremes for laughs... or in the case of less developed characters, embellished like crazy.)
