50th Post: My Birthday

It seems kind of weird to me but I’ve already made it to my fiftieth post on リリカル☆スパーク! Not bad for something I started as homework for my Japanese 101 class (and continuing on for 102). The big 50 also coincides with my birthday. That’s right, today I am a 19 year old otaku who has managed to NOT become a Hikikomori nor a NEET.

Small Blog Upgrade

With the exception of this post and maybe a few others, I tend to type rather long posts. A feature I have wanted to integrate into Lyrical☆Spark! for a while now is expandable post summaries which would allow me to display only the first few lines of a long post followed by a link to the rest of the post. At first I tried to add it using the instructions on the Blogger Help article but I failed. Thankfully I found this article at Blogger Tips and Tricks which had easy and clear instructions on how to add expandable post summaries which is why I now have them.

CLANNAD FULL VOICE

Kotomi 「Welcome home.」Alright, the first post of 2008. Of course, I have to make it about something KEY-related since my obsession with KEY is going insane especially with the “unofficial” release of the CLANNAD English translation. I played a little bit of it but my computer ended up crashing so I’ll probably have to wait until the “official” patch is out. Anyways, while checking for updates on CLANNAD’s translation, I found out that a full voice version of the PC game will be coming out on February 29. There is a voice patch that adds voice to the PC game using the audio files from the PS2 version but there are some differences between those versions. The official FULL VOICE game should correct those discrepancies and will hopefully have some extra goodies packaged in. Looks like I found my birthday present for this year.

Comiket 73

Comic Market CatalogAlong with the end of the fall season, winter also brings one of my favorite events of the year. That is of course Comic Market better known as Comike. Comike 73 should be starting in a couple of hours from now so I’ll be watching the intertubes for tons of goodies. Like every other Comike in the past, I have neglected to look at the catalog so everything I find will be a surprise. The biggest thing I will be looking forward to are various Touhou doujin products such as Touhou Kasokusouchi.

Jigoku Shoujo 3rd Series

Enma Ai XmasAccording to Moon Phase, a third series of Jigoku Shoujo has been given the go for production. The announcement was made on the mobile version of the Jigoku Tsuushin website. Apparently, Enma Ai will make a comeback with new powers. Although I like the idea that Enma Ai will be returning, it bothers me how they will explain that given the end of Futakomori which suggests that:

*spoiler* Jigoku Tsuushin will continue to exist without Enma Ai. *spoiler*

Oh well, I’ll wait and see. Hopefully, the third series will live up to the first two.
