After weeks of waiting, it’s finally here! My Lelouch figma.BP from Max Factory/Banpresto!
I don’t usually go out of my way to buy figurines, but when I saw this one on preorder sale at HobbyLink Japan back in February, I knew I had to have it. Being the huge Code Geass fan that I am, this figurine elicited the kind of “must-have” reaction from me that’s usually reserved only for the newest Gundam model kits.

So while doing some blog management, I somehow came up with the brilliant idea of fixing Lyrical Spark’s character encoding problem. Using Google, I found out that it was a database encoding problem so I decided to use a plugin to fix it. Good thing is that the database should be fixed and the Japanese won’t spontaneously change fonts. Bad thing is that now I need to go back and fix all the Japanese text and I won’t be able to do that until tomorrow afternoon. For now, just ignore the weird look.

Yesterday was the last day of classes for the semester and I had planned to do some extreme studying for exams but unfortunately, I was checking for new blog updates and discovered that a new demo of Scarlet Weather Rhapsody was out. I expected to only try it for a little bit to see what was added since the original demo but now I play it all the time. At this rate, I will be practicing everyday until the full game comes out at Reitaisai 5 on May 25, 2008. If it ends up like my experience with Mountain of Faith, I will blaze through all the stages available in the demo and be immediately slaughtered as soon as I do a new stage.

I didn’t blog episode 3 of Code Geass last week. I don’t feel very bad about that, either.
Good question, Lelouch. Probably because I was lazy, just like Sunrise was last week when they decided to steal half of the episode’s plot elements from Death Note. But who am I kidding? I’ve been looking forward to episode 4 all week. Let’s get to the review.

Well, I’ve officially joined Zanaikin’s Imperium Project. Although my first attempt at writing the shared history of Canan and Exam, the characters who were subsequently placed under my charge, failed hard, eventually everyone on the project agreed that its core concepts were good and could be used if I could just edit my original draft. I’ve finally done just that, and while this new draft feels like a complete rewrite, it’s also a lot smoother and more focused than my first, and contains some input directly from Zanaikin. So I’m a lot more confident about this one – at least, enough to share it with the Internet.
Potentially massive spoilers after the break.

Andreano called me yesterday to tell me that he finished editing the video and I met him at the library to pick up a copy. He gave me a DVD and I watched it to make sure it was complete and I was impressed by the overall quality. Here is the video in flash video format

This year has really flown by and that means only 2 more semesters of Japanese left until I fulfill my foreign language requirement. I would like to take more if possible by right now my pre-med/biology major take precedence. Anyways, I found the idea of making a video brochure to a pretty cool idea for 2 main reasons; first I like making videos and second, I prefer recording versus reciting things live. The project took a lot of time but I think it was an enjoyable experience.

I found an interesting online test while visiting the MAL Nodoka Fanclub a few days ago and I thought I might as well post my results as an excuse to write about Negima. The test calculates compatibility based on comparing your birthday with all the girls. Since I am too lazy to put all the girls in order, I’ll just do the top and bottom 3. Obviously this test doesn’t use real magic but even still, some of the results really make me sad.

Episode three of Kanokon seemed to take a strange new direction for the series. Where were the panty shots? Where was the comedy? Where were the kiss scenes, even? There were just some uninspired scenarios and some out-of-place attempts at plot and character development, and I was left wondering what had happened to the Kanokon I knew and was beginning to love. And then, suddenly…
