The 30th Anniversary of Gundam

Ru-Kun

This may be old news to some and I known about this as well for a while. But I think that it’s still worth sharing.

Anyways, as some may know and for those who don’t, a while back the Gundam 30 year Anniversary website announced a life size Gundam robot about 59 feet tall to be build in “Shiokaze Park on Odaiba island” located Tokyo, Japan. This had been annouced back in March and was finished in June of this year. This life size statue is based off of “RX-78-2 Gundam” from the first Gundam anime series from 1979 (the year I was born XD).

In my opinion I think this is pretty cool consider I’ve only watched one of the series and much enjoyed it. I guess I’m a big mecha themed anime fan XD. Anyways I kind of figured that it wouldn’t be that long before there would be a life size mecha built before too long. Although, there were other large size mecha status built before, but nothing as tall as the “RX-78-2 Gundam”

Well Massively update for the My Massive absence

Ru-Kun

So I haven’t posted anything here for a good while. And I’m sorry about that although, its not like a lot of people actually sit and read it. But anyways, I’ve been quite busy with job hunting and working contracted IT/Computer jobs. I’ve also been working on an anime/manga website that I’m hoping to have online sometime soon. This site will have a forums, downloads section, and blog like news posting and such. My site will be basically a CMS (Content Managment System) website. As I’m still doing a lot of the configuration with the site and database. I’m not ready to put it up online yet. Plus I’m still working on getting the funds to pay for 5 months of web hosting (currently looking at different hosting services)XD. So with this said I’m not sure if I will keep this blog up since I will be posting most o my posts there. But I might just keep this one running and double post news items on both. I will probably keep this blog running though, but I think I will need to give it make over. I will probably just design a new layout from scratch.

Other updates I finished watching all the animes in that I had posted it my last post back in February; Soul Eater, Witchblade, REC, Hell Girl, Code Geass R2. Well actually I haven’t finished watch Bleach just yet as it is still on-going. But in fact I actually finished quite a few other animes as well, I’ve almost watch 100 different animes, I’ve actaully at about 96 as you can see from this old post which I keep updating Animes I have completed, but once I have 100 on that list I will stop updating it and just create a new post for each 10 after. Some of those animes in that list I really don’t recommend as they are kind of crappy. For example Psychic Wars and MD Geist II: Death Force were not that great, in fact they were garbage. The only reason I sat and watch them was just to say that I have seen them. I will never watch them again though.

Last piece of updates I had beaten God of War for the PS2 for the first time. I beat it on easy, now I working on beating it on the normal difficulty. I’m also very close to beating Resident Evil 4 on the Ps2 as well. I think that I’m currently on Chapter 5-2.

Well that is it for the moment. Thanks for reading

Fullmetal Alchemist OVA collection set to be Released Later this Year

Ru-Kun

The North American anime distributor Funimation has confirmed at the Ohayocon event on Saturday that it has acquired the Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium Collection original video animation (OVA) set. Funimation will release the set on a single DVD in late 2009. According to Funimation’s Adam Sheehan, the DVD will include “everything that was on the Japanese DVD release — uncut, subbed, and dubbed.”

The Premium Collection’s Japanese release features the “Seven Homunculi VS State Alchemists” short and three DVD shorts that shipped after the 2005 Fullmetal Alchemist movie: “Live Action,” “Chibi Party,” and “Kids.” These shorts were the last animated footage created for the Fullmetal Alchemist “dark fantasy” franchise — at least, until this coming April, when the new television adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa’s original manga premieres. Extras include a picture gallery, bonus clips from the Universal Studios Japan amusement park’s Fullmetal Alchemist Premiere Tour, and closing credits that feature a dancing Alphonse Elric character…….Read More

My First Anime Boxset

Ru-Kun

After a long awaited time I finally got my first anime box set. My older sister got it for me for my birthday and just got it at around Christmas time. I got all the episodes of Elfen Lied on two dvd disc. Basically I got the box set known as the “Perfect Collection” with all 13 episodes and some of the art work in the extra section of the DVD menu—I think. I haven’t gone through everything in the menus yet. Below are a few images I have taken of this box set. It nothing really special but I love this series. (This is the front of the DVD case) (This is the back side of the Elfen Lied boxset) (Finally the inside of the Elfen Lied box set with the two dvds. First dvd has episodes 1-10, second dvd has episodes 11-13.)

Last thing I would like to mention is that I also got a Naruto 2009 calender for Christmas. But to tell you guys that truth I haven’t watched Naruto yet. I still like the calenders though. Here is the front of the calender.

First Post of 2009 (random updates)

Ru-Kun

Well it’s a new year and sorry for the delayed post. But anyways, I’ve been quite busy and have had record snow fall where I live so my Internet connection hasn’t been too desirable.

First off I had first watching season 2 of Rosario + Vampire Capu2. I really wasn’t too impressed with it as I was with the first season. But i guess it maybe because of the bat/teddy bear censorship. I found it to be a bit distracting. I think I may have to check out the manga as I have heard it has more of a story plot to it unlike the anime.

Other brief updates I have added an affiliates section to my blog. And I have a new affiliate which is my friend’s site called link and web site no longer online where I’m a moderator in the forums there. So if you can just check out this site. Feel free to join in the forums and start talking with other anime fans.

Now if anyone else would like to become an affiliate with this blog. First you site must be anime or manga related in some shape or form. You must add my link to your site in order to affiliate with my blog. I will be creating some banners and button for my blog here soon that you may add. At the moment I will only use your site’s link because I’m actually working on redesigning my blog’s layout from scratch. So until I finish that I’m only going to use links for my affiliates. I will update more on how to affiliate with my site as well as how to contact me if you would like to affiliate with me.

Well that’s it for the updates. I hope you all had a great New Year and Christmas to those that celebrate them.

New Adult Swim Saturday Schedule

Ru-Kun

Well, it seems that Adult Swim has again changed Saturday’s line up. This time it seems to be a much better line up then the previous one mentioned in an earlier post of mine. This mean that there is more anime and Code Geass and Moribito are on at a earlier time. I’m sure that it will probably change again, but I must say I’m happy with having more anime to watch on Saturdays. So at the moment this is the line up: (anime in orange color) 1. Robot Chicken [2 showings] 2. Aqua Teen Hunger Force [2 showings] 3. Boondocks [2 showings] 4. Bleach 5. Moribito 6. Code Geass R2 7. Shin Chan 8. FLCL 9. Death Note 10. Ghost in the Shell 11.

Anime retail websites get sued for selling Bootleg Anime Dvds

Ru-Kun

Originally posted on Anime News Network..

The North American anime distributor FUNimation Productions is suing a group of related companies in Southern California for allegedly selling counterfeit DVDs of its licensed anime on a website. 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.

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.

Thanks for reading

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.
