Juubei *tries* to be a comedian.. o.0 it's just not right, i tell ya. its not right!!! Oh, and we finally find out Natsumi's powers! It's the Ultimate Ping Pong Battle Skills!!!!!! ^^; yeah.

Oh, here's a little equation we discovered: Hot Springs = Monkeys. I do hope Ban and Ginji remember that...

Get Backers ep 25

Awww.. How come cute antagonist bishies end up having super angsty dreams/recollections? :( It was soooooo cute when Ginji saved Maku's life, hugging him and all.. *^_^* And yeah, even if i would like to kill Sakura for being hugged by Maku, it felt right.. Maku and Sakura, I mean... They *are* kinda cute together.. ^^; Happy Ending. =^__^=

.hack//tasogare no udewa densetsu ep 4 - Tanabata Festival

Oh-kay! Tanabata episode. So we presume that the timeline is sometime is June/july because the Tanabata is held in either one of those months. Moving on, this episode ish cute. It's actually nice to see technology and tradition being together :3 We have more hints on incest, too. Oh, and we get to see this annoying person riding on a Grunty, and they even have the same annoying laugh. Reki hosts the Tanabata event, since Balmung wanted to join in. Wouldn't that be cheating since Balmung was the one who organized the event? CC Corp is strange o.0 Anyways, Shuugo saves the day, as always, and then more hints on incest. Ah, but i dont really think that wishing to live together again as a family isnt incest... [or maybe it was just intentional that we misinterpret Shuugo's wish..?] We also find out that rain in The World is dangerous to players, and that it hurts o.0 i wonder why...

.hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet ep 3 - Phoenix Feather

Grunty episode!

While Shuugo and the others level-up, Shuugo being the total n00b that he is, this long-haired girl leaves her mini grunty to that cute blonde girl we saw in the previous episodes. Shuugo admires the fact that Rena and Ouka are really good players, and then Ouka shoves the fact that he's still got a long way to go right in his face. That and he gets into a Level Down trap. Poor kid.

Anyway, Shuugo and Hotaru(the blonde cute girl) meet at what seems to be Mac Anu(the river, the boats, the bridges, the town, etc). The Grunty's sick. (Now, where have i seen this before?!)

SO there, they go to this Grunty inn/whatever. The NPC(or something like that) tells them that the Grunty's sick and will die in a matter of hours if it isnt cured.

Unlike .hack//SIGN, they save the grunty. Yay!

That and they teach the evil girl who left the grunty with Hotaru some manners.

.hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet ep2

Balmung's Cherry Blossom event causes trouble for our heroes! Merielle[did i spell her name right?] is super genki and she annoys Rena, but i like her.. We find out that there's slight incest in this show, too. Oh, and Shuugo's a big perv. Oh, wait. You already knew that. Oh, and that wasnt a Dog or an Orca. It's a 'Wolf'.

.hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet ep1

So we see this cute maintenance person fixing bugs while in the game and he encounters Unbeatable Monsters, remembers what had happened when the first Unbeatable Monsters appeared, gets killed and well, coes in a coma. Familiar scene?

Anyways, one should have at least some knowledge on the two previous .hack series to better understand this. Or maybe none at all, but at least you should know the first two.

Moving on, Shuugo is this teenage boy who quit playing internet games. That or given up, says his twin sister Rena who's living with their parents. For some unexplaiend reason, Shuugo is living alone. Anyway, Shuugo receives mail that he has won the limited edition dot hacker sprite of Kite. He calls his sister and finds out that she too, has won Black Rose's sprite.

Basically what happens next is an advanced level monster appears in a begginer's area, so Shuugo and Rena have to defeat it. Shuugo dies while saving Rena, but what's this? Something strange happens. He doesnt re-appear as a 'ghost' in The World! Balmung shows up in the beginners area and helps defeat the Advanced Monster. Next thing we know, Aura, or whoever looks like her, appears and gives Shuugo Data Drain.. Thus begins our hero's adventure in The World.

...That sounded like an episode summary.. Oh well.

Yosha...
I don't know why she bothers... IMO, that series is about as interesting as watching a cockroach on the ceiling, wondering if It will fall on you.. the roach, not the ceiling. XD
Well, I was told that If I had nothing else to do I could review games, so, I will.. Shinobi, even though it came out ages and ages ago, I will only review now, as I have only begun to play it now. XD
The game is pretty solid, Excellent eye candy.. (stealth dashes are the shiznit! XD) But I can't comment much on the sound. Since I play in a rental, I can't hear a damned thing. Moritsune is cool. Hotsuma is cooler. But having the elder brother (Moritsune or Hotsuma, I currently forget who bigla. XD) as the first major boss was a cool idea, but.. on your first try, you'll be as annoyed as hell to find out that you CANNOT DAMAGE HIM AT ALL off the bat. But once you figure out that fooling him into falling off the building drains him of at least 1/8th of his life, the rest of the fight is chickenshit. If you're fancy, you can wait for him to summon his minions, and Tate his silly arse. There's another aspect of the game. Tate. This move allows you to increase the damage your sword does, depending on the number of enemies you kill. Requirement is at least four enemies killed under ten seconds. Pulling it off succesfully treats you to a quick sequence which must be this game's counterpart to Tenchuâ„¢'s stealth kills. If you don't understand me, good. Play the game to figure out what I'm talking about. What? Don't have a PS2? Neither do I. XD I just want to complain about that bastard Homura, though.. think Hisoka of HXH fame with teh blazing red hair wearing a Trenchcoat with a flame pattern. Bastard is standing at the other end of the level, taunting 'Kochi da!' and when you get to him, he teleports off in a boom. Bah. Two ways to beat him, though. Long yet simple.. run around, combo him when he shows up, run off... (though this could take you well over an hour. XD) or Tate his minions, (In mid-air, no less!) then run over to him while Akujiki (your sword) is at full power from the Tate and slash 'im. This method takes all off at leats twenty seconds. Damned hard, though, If you don't have the skills. Now I've wasted too much space. I only wrote this cause I'm bored. XD See you people on the servers. :D
