FUNimation is alleging that a California resident named Hae Yong Ro and four affiliated businesses — N Trading, Inc, Discount Anime DVD, BuyDVD.com, and DOES — infringed on FUNimation and its licensers’ copyrights and trademarks by selling unauthorized copies of Fruits Basket, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragonball GT, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Some of the DVDs are said to have included English dubbing. Read Full article here

Anyways, I found this article to be interesting because it was posted on my birthday and one of the sites was were one of my birthday presents was going to come from. With this said I had to look around and research a bit more to find legitimate anime product retails sites. LOL good thing I didn’t purchase anything from the DiscountAnimeDVD.com site like I was originally planning. I guess to say the it can be quite hard to trust some web site retail stores these days. Especially if you like collecting anime dvd and such.

BTW, I Originally submitted this post to the Otaku tidbit on generationotaku.net.

But anyways I thought this would be something to share with you all.

Thanks for reading.

New Month New Post XD

Ru-Kun

Well now it’s a new month. So I hope that you all had a Happy Halloween and stuff. It seems I still slacking off on some anime reviews, hopeful I get one or two done this month. I’ve just been kind of busy. Anyways, well I had a pretty good birthday, had some Korean food for my b-day dinner, mmmmm good. Now I’m waiting to see if I will get my Elfen Lied box set that I had asked for. This will be my first box set. Nothing too much else going on. I started watching Someday Dreamers, which isn’t too bad so far. I also am giving Soul Eater a look as well. I’m still watching Bleach, frist season of Code Geass and Moribito, slowly but surely. I finish the second season of Zero no Tsukaima and started the third season. There are a few other animes I have watched from DVD rented from Blockbuster Total access. But I don’t like the selection of anime blockbuster has. Anyways, that’s about it for the moment. Thanks for reading. 😀

Ergo Proxy AMV

Ru-Kun

This is my first attempt at a AMV (anime music video). I made this video with Nero Vision. I used the second episode for this video, I believe towards the end of the episode. The music that I had used was one of my tracks called “The Golden Rules”. Anyways let me know what you think.

Ergo Proxy vs.Mr.Ruste’s The Golden Rules AMV

I was basically trying to make a video that synchronized like this following Eureka Seven video to the Lord Of Trance track by Dj Tiesto Due to Copyright grounds both of the above videos are blocked. The one I made is blacked in most countries though I’m not sure which countries either. I will at least try and get my video fixed. The other one I have no control over as I didn’t make it.

Ru-Kun

I think it’s time to post updated list of PTC sites that I have received first payment from yet. You may notice that I removed a couple sites from my old list . This is because they seem to have disappeared from the face of the net or its a site I’m pretty much tired of wasting my time with because it seem reaching a minimum payout will take for ever. Also I’m going to separate PTC sites and the other ways of earning on the net. Anyways here is the list. 😀 —————- The List of PTC sites 1.) This site is called Avercash. It is a fairly good site, one of the sites that have been around for the longest. Has a couple of ways to earn cash. First you can click/view ads from up to $0.01. Then you can complete offers for cash. You can also earn $0.01 for every person that you refer, plus 25% of their completed offer earnings and a percentage of their earning from viewing ads.

Just some brief updates v.1.5 (October’s updates)

Ru-Kun

There is too much going on lately. I’ve just been busy and such, actually haven’t had the time to really watch anime everyday like I normally do. But still make sure that I feed my anime needs, lol. Anyways, I’m still a little irritated with the Saturday lineup on [adult swim], but it fine I guess because I’ll just record Code Geass and Moribito so I don’t miss anymore episodes. But I still have to figure which episodes I have already missed due this schedule chance.

Other updates, I’m just about finished watching Ergo Proxy, I think I watched up to episode 21. I have also started watching Hell Girl which is being shown on the IFC channel (Independent Films Channel). I like watching anime on that channel because it not edit like it is on adult swim or the Sci-Fi channel. I would actually like to see more anime on IFC in the future.

Last piece of this update is that my birthday is coming up on the 28th of October. So I hope that I get something good for my birthday present. I would like to get a box set of Elfen Lied or another series. Or even something along that lines of music production hardware/software since I compose/produce electronic music with my computer.

Well that’s it for now.

Oh BTW I should have my review of Twilight of the Dark Master up here in a couple days and possible I will add more to my reviews of Elfen Lied and True Tears.

Thanks for reading.

Rosario + Vampire season 2 is now out

Ru-Kun

I think I maybe have forgot to post a bit earlier in the year about the announcement for the second season of Rosario + Vampire that was to be released in October. My bad for slacking off. Well anyways it is now October and just in time for the second season of Rosario + Vampire. I have been waiting for this for a while since I have finished the first season which I had much enjoyed. I think next be on my list is to check out the manga.

Anyways, if you haven’t seen the first you should check it out before you watch this one. I actually haven’t had a chance to check it out, but according to Anime News Network there are already 2 episodes out. The first episode was released on the first of October. Second episode was released on the eighth of October. The third episode titled Mother + Vampire (Haha to Vampaire) will be released on the 15th of October. But I would just like to note the these releases are only in Japan.

In further news it was noted that two Japanese TV stations that had aired the first episode of Rosario + Vampire Capu2 had censored some of the scenes while two other stations left the show air as is. The two stations that censored the scenes were TV Osaka and TV Aichi. Source Anime News Network

If you would like to check out a trailer for the second season here is a youtube clip.

Angered with Adult Swim’s Saturday Schedule Change {part 1}

Ru-Kun

well I must say that as of the recent Saturday I noticed that I didn’t get to watch the next episodes of Code Geass and Moribito. *kicks some rocks* At first I though this was just temporary schedule and since I don’t log in to the adult swim forums as much because I’ve been really busy. But anyways, I just found out on some sites on the Internet the adult swim pulled the crap of moving Moribito and Code Geass to the 5:00AM-5:30AM slots. And since I’m usually not up at this time to watch them I have to miss them. It’s bad enough that anime isn’t shown as much on [as], but can deal with that because I have other animes I watch that there is no way in hell adult swim would even play them. But Saturday’s action (anime) show is what I always looked forward to even though the shows are English dubbed—I prefer English subs with Japanese audio.

Anyways, here is adult swim’s new Saturday schedule

11:00/2:00-Bleach

11:30/2:30-Fullmetal Alchemist 12:00/3:00-Robot Chicken

12:15/3:15-Aqua Teen Hunger Force

12:30/3:30-Metalocalypse

12:45/3:35-Metalocalypse

1:00/4:00-Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job

1:15/4:15-Assy McGee

1:30/4:30-Squidbillies

1:45/ 4:45-12oz Mouse

5:00-Code Geass

5:30- Moribito

Source [adult swim]

Anyways, I will post more about this later. Here is the discussion in the adult swim forums: New Saturday Schedule Discussion

Another site to add to the paying sites list :grin: (Rukun’s old blog post)

Ru-Kun

Well all I just received a payment from a site I haven’t been paid on yet which now I can say is a paying site with a payment of $4.44 received. Here is a some brief thoughts I have about this site. It has a pretty good amount ads to click daily. The advertising prices seem to be pretty good starting at $0.99 for a 100 websites visits (clicks) to $499.00 for 100000 website visits (clicks). The support forums are pretty active and there doesn’t seem to be too many forum spammers, or if there are the forum moderators do their job well on keeping the forum clean. Anyways that’s enough about that. Still wondering what site I’m talking about. Well this new paying site in my list is called Crewbux and you can see the payment proof and more information in Paying PTC/GPT sites list post
