The adapter/cable for the laptop is here already /o/ Of course, this makes me realize I just installed Linux on the desktop for nothing. I thought it'd take weeks. UGH.

This week there'll be some anime screenings in my faculty. Easiest extra credit activity ever: sit down through three afternoons of Japanese animation. There are contests, too. They tried to make a cosplay competition as well, but today only one dude came in disguise (in Akatsuki from Naruto robes) so... he won by default.

Either way, we watched the following today:
- Mononoke Hime (watched this one already, really neat and good-looking)
- Suzumiya Haruhi ep. 1 & 2 (it's an odd experience to watch amusing/funny anime/movies/series in group, especially a large audience, because you end up laughing harder than you would/did in private)
- Hikaru no Go ep. 1 (awww, Sai ;_;)
- Eyeshield 21 ep. 1 (in which TRC!Syaoran's voice is now a shounen retard)
- D.N.A^2 ep. 1 (old series is old, and I still fucking dislike Katsura harem series)
- Ichigo Mashimaro ep. 1 (extremely DULL and not really that funny)

Tomorrow I'm looking forward to Grave of the Fireflies, since I still haven't watched it (and I hope I don't weep, considering its fame in the sad department). We're also checking out Darker Than Black and Macross Frontier. On Friday there's no new series or movies I want to watch, but they got Marc Bernabé and Verónica Calafell to give us a talk (they're known Japanese translators here, and the guy is the author of a cool series of Japanese-teaching books) and the meta might be interesting.

That's pretty cool. I don't get many opportunities to watch anime with others but it's always fun when I do. And that's also cool about the extra credit. Although I am surprised watching anime would be something to get extra credit for, it's cool nonetheless.

Yeah and GOTF is really sad but really shows what anime is capable of. What's sadder for me is that it (the novel it is following) is based on the author's life. I know a lot of people when they watch it will say the main character could have done things differently and criticize the film for this not realizing all the main character's mistakes were the author admitting his own mistakes.

Well, this is the third year they organize it, and they always get sponsored by the local comic book stores (the awards they use to bribe people in are given by the stores). But it's always a group of geeky students doing it, and having to convince the dean to get the credit from it. I don't know what says about the computer science faculty that it's always people from us organizing it -and yet, I can't find geeks to befriend in daily basis for my life.

Ah, I had heard it was a story based in real life, but not that the author himself was the main character. It'll be interesting to watch tomorrow keeping that in mind.

I haven't actually watched any of that. XDDD
Pero qué cool, che.
RE Katsura: yo tengo un tomo de DNA2 robado de una universidad yanqui. Y no sé para qué, la verdad.

Buff, es que todas las series de ese hombre son shounen harem (excepto ésa que es tipo Batman). Y todas las chicas que dibuja tienen la misma puta cara, sólo le cambia el peinado y la ropa y voilá (que tampoco la ropa importa tanto porque casi todas las ilustraciones son las chicas en cueros). Es como Ken Akamatsu pero sin main girls tsunderes y con los tipos aún más losers.

[solesakuma]

Seeeeeh, exacto. A mí me joden los que pretenden que tiene trama aparte de "1000 maneras de que las del harem se queden en bolas".

De repente te gustaba Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.

Sena's not a retard :'( Though the anime is.

I cry so hard watching Grave of the Fireflies. Then again, I'm a absolute crybaby, lol.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean retard in a literal sense, orz. "Shounen retard" is more meaning the kind of personality types you meet in shounen manga. In that sense, even Edward Elric is a shounen retard. I-it's some sort of slang it was rubbed to me on RPGs.

I wonder if I'll cry. I'll bring the handkerchief just in case.

Hyper!Shary is hyper

Yo espero que no me gusta porque no podré encontrar subs de DtB a estas alturas.

......er, no me preguntes, que yo no juego un Mario formalmente desde, like SMW. Mucho menos haber visto icons.

Just to warn you, I cried in Grave of the Fireflies, and I NEVER cry in films or anything. And when I say crying, I mean full on hysterical sobbing! It was the last five minutes that got me, so bring your tissues just in case!

It's a seriously good film though. I never regretted watching it.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Just watched it, and now I want to UNwatch it. I... did cry, yeah, but I also really dislike that kind of movies. I felt too uncomfortable and it left this horrible taste in my mouth. Good movie, yeah, but not the type of thing I'd like to watch for the heck of it. I'm not one for realistic drama/tragedy.
