Winter Anime :')

derp
Heelllooooo. Haven't written anything for ages >.< but i'm back :)







Winter mornings are so damn cold that you just get Kanashibari and hibernate in bed. (why u do dis elsa) But anime is something worth waking up for! Right!?
Last season's anime made me laugh, cry, and learn. The season's anime wasn't too bad, and it had some really good ones, especially Plastic Memories! I wonder what anime titles will get a second season?

WELLLL...Spring has ended for Japan and Autumn for Australia, which means NEWW ANIMEEE !!! HERE ARE SOME OF THIS SEASONS ANIME I THINK ARE WORTH WATCHING!


1. Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri

Modern Japan clashes with a medieval fantasized army. This anime has a conceptual setting that isn't used much films, but the idea itself: Modern vs Ancient, seems very interesting! I've actually been waiting for a film based on the short story "Rome Sweet Rome" with a similiar idea, but it never really got into production. It's a anime made by A1 Productions, the studio that created Sword Art, so expect the graphics and art style to be good :) The first episodes already out and i can't wait to see how the adaptation goes!




2. Joukamachi no Dandelion

A noble family being watched by security surveillance cameras 24/7.
lolwut! I have low expectations of this, but It sounds interesting so lets see how it goes xD.










3. Classroom Crisis

 Set in the future where humanity has colonized the Solar System, a few young high schooler's attending a Martian school are aiming to reach out to the stars and be pilots. I have an interest in FTL and space, which is why this anime caught my eye. It doesn't seem to be an anime where many characters die, and the art looks vivid as well. It's airing soon, so keep an eye for this anime!







4. God Eater

SUGOII! An anime adapted from a game with the same name!
Definitely gunna watch this!

"Set in Japan in the year 2071 where the world has been mostly destroyed by mysterious monsters known as the Aragami. An organization known as Fenrir was made to exterminate Aragami using weapons called God Arcs which is made from the cells of an Aragami. Those who specialize in exterminating Aragami are known as God Eaters" *via MAL





and finally.. shigatsu season 2 hahah i wish

5. Gangsta.
"In the city of Ergastulum, a shady ville filled with made men and petty thieves, whores on the make and cops on the take, there are some deeds too dirty for even its jaded inhabitants to touch. Enter the "Handymen," Nic and Worick, who take care of the jobs no one else will handle. Until the day when a cop they know on the force requests their help in taking down a new gang muscling in on the territory of a top Mafia family. It seems like business (and mayhem) as usual, but the Handymen are about to find that this job is a lot more than they bargained for." 

The anime shows us how violence can control the world, and survival. It has an urban, underbelly setting and contains characters with dark pasts. First episode aired this week and it was pretty interesting.







Thankyou for reading and i hope you consider the suggestions :)

LETS START WATCHINGGGGG

My Spring Anime List 2015! :D


The Spring Anime Season has arrived stocked with new anime titles and i guess its time to waste my time and procrastinate.  Life is great.
This will be my first time doing anime suggestions, so feel free to comment and give feedback! :)

1. Ore Monogatari
i srsly love takeo's face









An anime that ditched the stereotypical love plot and set a massive, emotional and gorilla faced man as the main protagonist along with an kawaii and innocent looking  love interest. Noone would expect this destined relationship of the strangest kind. It has laughable comedic scenes and tons of beautifully unique faces. The art is vivid and beautiful but animation is average for it's genre. It's currently on it's 4th episode. So far it's good.  Ideal for someone who likes derpy faces, an unexpected love story and cake/sweets art. I think the author is trying to tell viewers that  love does not exist in looks, but personality and heart.

2. Hibike Euphonium












Yet another musical anime, right after Shigatsu kimi Uso. I'm planning to watch it, but i won't expect it to be better than kimi Uso. It's made by the creators who made K-on!, so it shouldn't be too bad. Let's see what it's like. :)


3. Plastic Memories









A sci-fi anime where artificial intelligence has been conquered and mastered. In this anime, androids who possess human emotion are known as Giftia's, interact and live with humans. The main protagonist soon finds out the Giftia he is attached to, has only 2000 hours of life left.. It sounds like it will be a sad anime with characters adored by viewers. Definitely gunna watch this!



Well this is all i'm going to write for now. I hope you enjoyed this post!
Sayonara!! :)

Humans and the Universe

Our Universe

im crossdressing kay ;D















I have been interested in the topic of astronomy and the universe since kindergarten as it has kept me curious on what existed outside of our planet. I thought about it in bedtime and occasionally got lost redirecting to and from articles within the internet. What do people think of the universe? It is a big mystery after all..

I believe that the universe was constructed under one creator that i would call God. To this date, there is no solid evidence that has disproved an existence of a 'creator', so i have chosen to believe that there is indeed a "god" that created all of this. Religion is a state of thought, but is not directed or supported by proof but by faith, trust etc. . Many people receive contradictions on their religion (that involves gods etc.) and are questioned: Do religion and science conform with each other? (Science is based on theories and evidence etc. and religion is based on faith and sacredness etc.). What do you think?



Even though our observable universe is only speck of the current expanding universe, we have predicted and formed theorems that prove things (e.g. quantum mechanics, dark matter, wormholes, gravitational law), that we are unable to see in our history. To the universe, human history is nothing compared to the timeline of the universe. The truth is that we humans, are scheduled for extinction very soon on the perspective of the Cosmic Calendar

The cosmic calendar is a system used to map the 13.8 billion year old universe into one single calendar year. Currently we are basing the 20-21st century as the last second of the cosmic year.

Let's say that an average human in the 21st century will live for 70+ or so years. If we input that number of years in the cosmic calendar, that will translate to 0.2-0.25 seconds of the total 31.536 million seconds.

I believe humans cannot completely decipher how the universe operates with our logical reasoning and theory. Maybe the universe is beyond logic and cannot be understood by our level of intelligence.

The Multiverse

I think that relative universes do exist (a.k.a. parallel universes) in this infinite dimension (greater than the size of a universe) that houses many or maybe infinite universes. 

Imagine where all possiblities and outcomes exist in your life, and that your current reality is being experienced in an other place. You are one of many currently living a life where events are put chronologically and is uncovered relatively through time. This theory is known as the Many-worlds formulation which is supported by quantum mechanics.

Think of a tree being the multiverse where your outcomes/possibilities are branched out and each branch represents a universe where another you exist and is independently thinking and leading their own futures after a specified time. Imagine me failing in life and living as a garbage disposal man. That could happen to me in my set life i guess, but the possibility of me being a garbage disposal man in another universe is almost definite.








What will you and my future be like?  
I guess our only option is to wait...

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso: Kousei's Journey

"I met the girl under full-bloomed cherry blossoms and my fate had begun to change.” Kousei Arima.








Your Lie in April (四月は君の嘘) is about a pianist’s journey to become a fulfilled person again, how he discovers love and music, and how those two combine to become his love for music.

Ever since his abusive mom passed away from a slow and painful illness when he was young, he developed a fear towards the piano and stopped playing. His life drastically changed when a girl entered into his life and coloured his dull and monotone soul.



The anime shows a journey to maturity, to realising a dream, and developing resilience. It shows the ups and downs of life, between deaths, new friendships, wins, losses and how people cope with these situations.

The journey he took involved a lot of influence and realization. His inability to play the piano without having a mental breakdown was blamed on his ‘mother’s curse’ and the emotional triggering of his thoughts on his past.

This was portrayed with a piano being flooded with water, the keys bubbling and producing no sound that led to the helpless, hard pounding of piano keys as his anxiety grew over on why the sound of the piano was mute.

Fortunately, he realizes that this ‘curse’ was a mere, lame creation from his interpretation. His mother dearly loved him but abused Kousei by physically hurting and forcing him to play a piece until perfected, which created a harsh relationship between them as time was running out for her.







The anime sported great uses of techniques on many aspects and a vividly beautiful art style.  His life is portrayed in his own image as grey and monotone, but suddenly changes to a life bursting with colour after the journey with Kaori.

The amazing classical music and OST of Your Lie in April  used in the anime provided both a great diegetic and non-diegetic accompaniment that ran parallel to Kousei’s journey. The music provided gave greater definition on the emotions that were casted by the characters. The first 8 episodes had a happy and lively OST as Kousei admit love for Kaori , but towards the end, the OST turned into a grim and discontent musical style as Kousei finds out that she was about to die.

Kaori helped Kosei return to the music world and show that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the structured and rigid style Kosei was used to.  Her soul was established in Kousei’s mind, and lived on his heart forever after her death..


Even though Kousei started out in a horrible state following the death of his mother, he perked up with his newfound friendship and love with Kaori. This relationship inspired him to continue and dream to be a better musician. It doesn't make coping with his past any better, but the story shows him that there's more to life than he thinks and some people are happy with the lives they've lived.

What is love?


Love
Love is an emotion that people have to show affection for somebody/something which triggers the blushing of crimson, awkwardness, stalking and anxiety etc. It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion and sacrificing time for the sake of helping others. 
Today i would be talking about the love where you are attached to the opposite sex.  When love works all the way through, the result could be a romantic relationship or a rejection that could emotionally hurt a person and lead to suicidal thoughts/depression. (A.K.A. the friendzone)

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

A person’s different side is usually revealed when you’re trying to show love. Society depicts the ‘different side’ of people as showing off their bodies, being pervy/flirty, showing their sweeter/nicer side or embarrassing yourself for the sake of impressing or gaining their crush’s attention. You can do pretty stupid things without even knowing it when the flow of love kicks in.


charlie brown


Talking about love, Most people tend to develop crushes towards someone usually in their high school years. Personally, I think having a crush or girl/boyfriend relationship in high school is not essential, instead I believe developing meaningful and long term/eternal relationships with people you haven’t met before or existing friends is more important, so you could secure strong bonds even after when we part our own ways after high school!  


Having a crush in high school also generally links to problems on your grades and the inability to focus in school. You can become possessed by your emotions for someone and become obsessed on things you’re not supposed to do (e.g. stalking, creepy things, being socially awkward). 

          "Love is putting someone else's needs before yours." Olaf the Snowman

Love in real life is alot more sophisticated compared to fictional love. I believe that love is a friendship that is on fire and can never end until you pour a bucket of water onto it. Fake love is when you do not see through into a person's heart and love them for another reason. This type of love won't last long and would not benefit you anyhow. Keep your love in your heart; not in your looks, not how rich you are, and not your social status.. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
        
Remember, 
Love is like wielding a dagger. 
You attempt penetrating another being with it, but love can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
