I’ll be honest, I have never been so excited of a game since Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4. Heck, I’m not even excited to see MGS 4 trailer at e3 2007 recently. This game however, rocks my socks off. It hasn’t come out yet, but it really leaves a strong impression to me already.

June 30, 2007

Well, since I got nothing better to do, I might as well give a short review of a doujin game that I’m currently playing, BattleMoonWars !

It took me a while to download this…=___= Screw torrents…rapidshare for the win !

Now, for those who aren’t familiar with this type of game, BattleMoonWars is a tactical role-playing game. Example of these type of games are like Disgaea, Namco X Capcom and Super Robot Wars. I’ve played Disgaea ( even though haven’t finish ) so I basically know how to play a bit these type of games. What made me so interested to play BattleMoonWars is because you can play characters from TypeMoon’s games, like from Fate/Stay Night and Melty Blood. Not all of them are in, most of the popular ones. Yeah, you can see Saber, Akiha, Rin, Shiki, and others. It’s a fun game, and easy to play too if you played these type of games before. When its your turn, you move, attack or cast spells. After you finish, end your turn and the enemy turn will begin, and the cycle repeats until you win / lose. The sad thing is that I can’t understand Japanese, so I just basically play for the fun of it. It’s quite entertaining seeing them in action. :D I do hope someone will work on English patch soon. :P By the way, here’s some screenshots.

I’ve just started playing, and I’m taking it slowly, because I don’t want to finish it too fast. Oh, by the way, for newbies like me who don’t understand Japanese, you’ll need a guide, which you can refer to here. ( Kudos to Lord Phr0zen for the guide ) Yes Nazrin, I’ll pass it too you during EMiNA AGM, just make sure you bring my Berserk ( volume 27 - latest ), Genshiken ( volume 2 - latest ) and Touhou. :D

*update* I just said I want to take it slowly, now I already finish act 1. ^^;;; I’m on my way to act 2 already. :P Too addictive

Well, its finally here ! Transformers hits Malaysia, and I’ve already watch it. Even though there were some minor flaws here and there. it was a great movie. As usual, a review from a Transformer fan ! Warning, some spoilers, read with caution.

*note* This will be the last time I’m saying that the review contains spoilers. After that, whenever I post a movie review, please understand that there will be spoilers.

.::. Ai no Melody

June 23, 2007

Yup, another music review. This time it’s a single. Another emotional song I would say. A opening and ending single by KOKIA, not NOKIA folks. :P

Thanks to Aizat for playing it during GACC and thanks to Naz for sending me the single, I’ve been listening to this song ever since. This song is the ending song for the anime Giniro no Kami no Agito. I never heard or seen the anime myself. I’ve got to say, this music is a nice and relaxing piece of music. The music is nice and touching, and the lyrics really gets to you if you read the English translation of it. I heard the opening song, which I would say it’s so-so. The main highlight in this single is definitely this song, Ai no Melody ( Melody of love ). Furthermore, there are 2 versions of this song in this single, which is the single version and the soundtrack version. The single and soundtrack version both are nice, but the soundtrack version is the best in my opinion. The only difference between the soundtrack and single version is the length. Other that that, they’re pretty much the same.

I’ve let my brother who isn’t a fan of anime music listened to this, and ever since then he added this into his playlist and loop it for about…a few hundred times ! O_o Seriously, anyone who’d listening to this song would definitely fall in love with it. If you haven’t heard it yet, go do yourself a favor and go listen to it, and then dream. :D

.::. Honey & Clover COMPLETE BEST

Well, another music review from me, hehe. Why ? Well, I’ve got nothing to blog about, might as well blog about this.

Okay, I think I don’t need to give an introduction about this series. Well, apparently they decided to release a another album. Well, for those who already have the OST, you should know that it is a great piece of work. So, what does this COMPLETE BEST offers ? Well, inside the album comes the songs that you should have already have listen, like Dramatic, Waltz, and MISTAKE. So, why should you even bother with this OST ? Well, how about the fact that this album contains the piano version of the opening songs ? :D From Dramatic too Split, its all in this album. Yeah, for those who have been hunting down that piece of music for quite some time like me, you don’t need to despair, because that music is in this OST. Nope, the piano version’s are not available in the single or the OST. Also, this album comes with a DVD that contains the creditless intro and outro of the TV anime versions. So yeah, I would say this album is worth getting.

This album is for fans only I guess, but I don’t think it will stop anyone from enjoying this compilation album.

YES YES ! R x J OP single is finally out ! Yahoo !! XD This season, this is one of the OP single that you should look out for. This song is the opening song for R x J. I’ve been waiting for this single ever since I heard it. Finally, after the long wait, it’s finally out.

This song is like the original one, but with a little changes of the lyrics. It was quite weird hearing it in a different light from Josh Groban’s version, but then, when I heard it again, it took my breath away. It really suits the opening scene’s very well With Lena Park’s ( not Linkin Park folks ;P ) powerful and amazing voice, this song was able to make me dream about a wonderful love that awaits us all. Okay, I’m getting jiwang ( lovey-dovey ) here. :P But this song is certainly a very powerful love song that would fit in any love scene in my opinion. Josh Groban’s version could made me sing like a madman, what more could this version do ? Fantasize about my own love story. XD

I’m quite surprise when I heard the single is a bit different from the opening version in the anime, but it doesn’t really matter, since it sounds awesome too. The Japanese version is the best, while the English version is take sometimes to digest because Lena’s pronunciation in English is a bit weird sometimes, but it’s great too.

This is a great piece of music, so do yourself a favor and go listen to it ! :D

.::. RxJ

June 16, 2007

Ahhh, Romeo x Juliet, an anime for the famous William Shakespeare novel, developed by GONZO studios. Now, when you hear the word “GONZO”, the first thing that comes to your mind is 3D animation, QUALITY animation and mecha. However, when Nazrin showed me the first episode, I was stunned, and amazed by how beautiful the story is. For the first time, I see a GONZO anime without mecha, but flying horses instead ! Holy cow ! O_o The first episode took my breath away, and I quickly went back to download the second, and by the time I was lready hooked. It’s really a beautiful story of love, and I applaud how GONZO is progressing with this story so far. There are a LOT of anime this seasons, but I unfortunately I’m unable to catch them all, so RxJ is one of the MUST anime to watch this season for me. To everyone, it’s rather slow sometimes, but please give it a shot. You won’t regret it.

However, I wished GONZO would work on a bit of the quality animation in this series. After episode 3, the animation seems to drop, quite a lot sometimes. Hopefully the can work on it soon. Episode 1 and 2 still remains the best, because of the animation and music. Character wise, I like Juliet a lot. Romeo…uh…so-so I would say. He’s like a wuss sometimes. :P Tybalt is my main focus for the male characters. He’s so damn cool, sometimes I would mistaken him for the main character. He’s like Batman tho, appearing out of nowhere…^^;;

Now, this anime was also adapted into a manga series, which has been serialized in Kadokawa Shoten’s Monthly Asuka shōjo magazine since March 24, 2007 . I never really give much attention to manga which was taken adapted to anime, but this artwork here caught my attention.

MARVELOUS and BEAUTIFUL. Romeo looks surprising cool, and Juliet, OMG I’m falling in love with her more and more. I hope someone will scan and sub the manga pretty soon.

With that said and done, do yourself a favor and watch this anime ! :D

Geh, I was suppose to release this review ealier, but I was busy playing games and sucky internet connection. Oh well, better late than never eh ? As usual, spoilers for those who haven’t watch, so proceed with caution.

Okay, what’s my thought of the movie ? First, before I give my thoughts, my expectation first. Honestly, I wasn’t looking forward to this movie. Nah-uh, nadda. Why ? Well, when they first mention about this film having 3 villains, I already had doubts, because it ain’t easy to fit these guys in a 2 hour movie. They have to expand their storyline and all, so I don’t think it will work out. The only movie I’ve seen where they put more than 1 villain which worked was Batman series ( do minus Batman and Robin out ).

.::. It’s Prime Time

May 20, 2007

Remember the previous post about the transformers trailer I wrote ? Yeah, about it sweet but not really sweet, or something like that ? The trailer was okay, but not really that good because it teases too much and it doesn’t show much of the Transformers. I was having doubts to watch this movie at a cinema.

However, the new trailer changed my opinions..COMPLETELY.

The new trailer is definitely sweet and its really PRIME. We get to see more of the transformers in action. Though its a bit weird to see Prime in his new light, but who cares ? He looks damn cool. This is one of the highly anticipated movies of the year, and I’m definitely going to watch this, for sure. Go find the trailer at Youtube or download the HD version. People are excited about Starcraft 2, but hell, I’m excited about Transformers The Movie.

Come 28 June quick ! It’s Prime Time !

April 7, 2007

Definitely lives up to the ‘more than meets the eye’ phrase. Just checked out the trailer, and damn its sweet. Kinda sucks though we can’t see much of the transformers, but I bet we will see more of them in the next trailer soon. I can’t wait to see Optimus Prime in action.

Oh, before you start asking me where can you get the trailer, here.

Like I said before, you can bet your ass I’m going to watch this movie, and yes, I watched it already. I was in full anticipation when I entered the cinema, excited and worried at the same time. Will this movie do justice to Christopher Reeve’s ? Is it good, or crap ?

All I can say is…
