      It isn't that long. Aren't summers lasting 104 days somewhere as shown in Phineas and Ferb? I don't know whether it happens somewhere though.

  14. Random question of the day: What is your daily, subconscious, web-searching routine?

     

    Mine usually goes like this: YouTube subscriptions > Twitter > Facebook > Gmail > Tumblr > deviantART > Pixiv > Reborn > repeat

     

    Sometimes I end up loading my gmail twice even though I just checked it literally 30 seconds ago.

  15. I've not forgotten about the Ace Attorney RP. I've just been busy with the Redemption League, but I will try to get around to it after league ends.

  16. It seems I have to wait for a time before getting Echoes due to not having enough money to buy it yet...

    "It's not an issue of what you should do, it's an issue of what you want to do." - Yamamoto Tsuyoshi


    "You won't know if you don't give it a try." - Yamamoto Takeshi


    Katekyo Hitman Reborn was an enjoyable manga first for its comedy, but it became even more entertaining when it became a serious action series around a quarter of the way. It features, Tsunayoshi Sawada, a generally cowardly and weak kid, who is told by a mysterious baby that he will be the Tenth Vongola Master. Of course, he wouldn't want to be the Tenth Vongola Master, but he is continuously taught by Reborn to be the Vongola Master, and with the help of the Dying Will Bullet, he becomes a stronger and braver person throughout the series. It begins with small, non serious conflicts, but it becomes slowly serious with the Mukuro Rokudo arc and then it becomes a full-blown action manga with the Varia arc, which featured Mafia members who wanted Xanxus, to be the Vongola Master instead. He acquires friends who become his Vongola Guardians and with their training, they are able to overcome the Varia. The manga becomes heavier with the introduction of the Future Arc, as they try to overcome Byakuran, who intented to make every timeline one where he ruled and destroyed it. The series becomes a bit uninteresting with the Shimon Arc, which was kinda underwhelming, but its plot was still good though. It ends with the Representative Arc which reveals the true nature of the Arcobaleno and it wraps up the characters and the story quite well. Katekyo Hitman Reborn was a manga I enjoyed for the unique powers wielded by the characters; the actiom scenes were well executed and most of the villains were not the types to easily be defeated, except for Enma that is. The overarching plot, which centered on Tsuna's development as a person, was also well exhibited in this manga. All in all, I'd probably rate this an 8/10, I guess.

  19. I've been playing Apollo Justice for the first time the last few weeks, and I'm ecstatic to see a few of the classic characters return, I'm less than happy to see the return of Psyche Locks...

  20. Happy Birthday :), i hope you will pass a great day :D 

  21. "There's no such thing as a perfect human. Everybody, every single person has in their heart something that they were supposed to abandon but weren't able to do so, so they hide it. You can't leave it aside, can you? The things you really like..." - Asuka Masamune


    "You should be proud of having loved someone to death, so find a new love as if your life depended on it. When people fall in love, they become timid. But someday without fail, they have to move forward. This time find a love that will make you happy." - Asuka Masamune


    "Is there any reason why a boy can't write a girls' comic? A sparkling world, sparkling characters, pure words, heart wrenching feelings, a touching love story, I love girls' comics." - Juta Tachibana / Jewel Sachihana


    "I'm sure there's a way your happiness can make everyone else happy too. Let's both be happy. Don't run away from your true self." - Asuka Masamune


    "When you like someone, it doesn't matter how masculine or feminine he/she is." - Asuka Masamune


    "No matter how much we try to pretend, we only have one true self. There is one thing that hasn't changed no matter how much time has passed. The things I hold dear to me has never changed. Remaining true to myself, I love you, the way you are, the way you naturally are, I love you..." - Asuka Masamune (Ending Lines)


    Otomen is a new personal favorite manga. It's a different twist to the common romance manga, and it also shares important values and messages in life. The protagonist, Asuka Masamune, loves sparkly, cute, and shiny things, and he also enjoys cooking, sewing, baking, and cleaning; despite this, he is forced to become more manly (by taking up kendo) and hide his true self because of his mother who doesn't want him to turn out like his father who left her after stating that he wanted to be a woman. He struggles when he falls in love with Ryo Miyakozuka, a girl who prefers training in the mountains and fighting, his true self surfaces, but he is accepted and loved for who he is by Ryo and his other friends, Juta (secretly a great Shoujo mangaka who bases his manga on Asuka), Kitora (a flower enthusiast), Tonomine (kendo rival but likes makeup), and Hanamasa and Joji (brothers who like love songs). Throughout the series, he battles with the people who strongly propose the idea of men being strong and manly (his mother being the main antagonist), and girls becoming ladylike, but he defeats all of them, and he also grows stronger with his relationship with Ryo. This manga surpringly made me feel deep emotions unlike other manga; I felt anger at Asuka's mother who served as the villain who broke their friendship up and was able to force Asuka to sacrifice his happiness for a short while (but she only did this because she was afraid of being left alone again), so that she won't collapse again (which was just fake), I felt happy every time they succeeded in proving people wrong, I felt sad whenever the characters felt cornered to pursue what they wanted, and this was one of the rare manga that made me tear up due to the really well executed ending that I won't spoil. This manga hinged also on gender stereotyping; It tells us that it isn't wrong for men to like cooking, sewing, and romance while it isn't wrong for women to be headstrong, enjoy sports, and be fighters. It also tells us that you can pursue what makes you happy, as long as there is a way for you to share this happiness to everyone as well. Morevoer, it tells us that people should accept and embrace themselves for who they are and they shouldn't be afraid to do so. Overall, this manga was enjoyable for its comedic and romantic gender role reversal, its well drawn characters and backgrounds, its good characterization of each characters, its exciting and engaging story, and the entire premise of the manga itself.
