Caught up with the School Rumble manga...I think my obsession of this series is longer than the (dying) Naruto one...hm...

( Spoilers... )

EDIT: Again Jin (the mangaka) doesn't show his face...lol ^^"

Amisuke & Mami~! ♥

Apparently, the third season starts on the 17th of July. But it's coming in DVDs...=\

Omb, it's been a month since I last updated? That's so not like me. School work's been covering me. T_T And I ignore it at the worst times. Meh, darn Red Stone. I shouldn't have converted Walid into an anime fan, now he's converting me into a MMO fan again. I wanted to do the conversion AFTER the HSC, not BEFORE! DD: Especially when I become a Konata; take a 30 minute break for 'solo hunting' and then end up doing SD after SD that takes hours...

I'm watching Mnemosyne now (that review in Okazu is very convincing. >____>" *cough*) ~ Rin (megane!!) is <3; Mamiko is <3 too. ^^ I'm sure when I'm done with this series, I think I can handle the first season of Higurashi by then. =) hehe.

Friend shared this. I lol'd.

Gotta love Ana Coppola's face expression.

EDIT: Why is it that every seiyuu page I go at wiki, their profile picture is taken out 'sides Mamiko's? lol...

Saw a few mentions of Sakurai Takahiro in this season's anime casts. Including kimikiss. (Which I'm giving a sigh of relief that it's not those 1 guy and 300 girls harem anime. [AND WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HAREM ANIME THIS SEASON?!])

I'm beginning to really doubt the 'fact' that he is supposedly banned from seiyuu work...

I also now know why so much people ha - no that's such a strong word - dislike Kaneda Tomoko's voice so much. I was blocking my ears before the character even said it.

Yes I only had heard her in sola before certain anime. FMP's Bonta-kun does not count.

EDIT: Ooo~ Mami's eng wiki page is updated~
'It is often regarded in anime-related internet radio programs about how difficult it is to replicate Noto's voice in dubbing works. Thus far, no one has been able to accomplish this task successfully.[3] Only Kaori Shimizu has been said to be the closest one in attempting to replicate Noto's voice quality.[4]'

WAHH?! I WANNA HEAR IT! O_O

I forgot to check if there was any videos taken during the Seki Tomokazu panel on youtube...late again...

( Seki Tomokazu sure does a frightening good imitation of Noto Mamiko, rotfl. )

I just remembered that it was Hocchan's birthday 2 days ago. T_T

I'd been such a bad Hocchan fan this year...D:

EDIT: It is also ridiculously hard to not change headers all the time. That's like about 4 times in about a month now? orz

I'm going to blame the anime (plural) I'm marathroning that by coincidence have Mamiko as main character most of the time.

*SQUEEEEE~*

Song is love.

Video is love.

*sniff* I must get either high quality scans of the making of it or a high quality video of this.

*goes backs to finish watching it because only started spazzing and writing this in the first five seconds. ^_^"*

Like the title says. Blog entry link here

Besides the two (Ami and Yuuko), it mentions Nabatame Hitomi, Matsuki Miyu, Ueda Kana, Itou Shizuka, Noto Mamiko, Chiba Saeko, Tamura Yukari, Horie Yui, Nazuka Kaori and many others.

*ahem*

*goes off to laugh till her stomach hurts*

I got a plushie!Donkey as one of my b'day presents, lol. Only had it for 1-2 days and it looks similar to me already. Especially around its middle. =D Yes being very lame.

Went to the city yesterday and finally know how it feels to be sunburnt. X.X Shouldn't have went to the Darling Harbour this time.

Only spent around $40 though - just brought one random anime-related thing. The Ichigo Mashimaro machine was too irresistible...>.>" Though I wanted an Ana or Chika keyring not a Nobue one...=( Oh well.

A boat!Taxi driver thought I was a child...and offered me child fee while my other friends got Adult fees...T.T I will now blame my cousin-who-looks-16-but-is-actually-24 for cursing me.

Gotta take the driving test on Wednesday. Wish me luck because I tend to fail in the 'easy' tests? =3

EDIT: WAH! The results are in already? http://www.seiyuawards.jp/center.html

<.< >.>

*w*~

So Noto Mamiko and Horie Yui are in the Starring Character List. Mamiko along with Tamura Yukari in the Sub-Character List. Koshimizu Ami in the Newcomer List (YAY! Though I didn't know she still can be in that catergory...), Mizuki Nana in the Singer List is so expected, Ooo and Yukari in Best Personality List as well. Aww - Kishio Daisuke is no where to be seen. The poor guy. Only favourite not listed in there. T.T

This is just the middle right? =S It seemed too quick. Just saw that the voting thing still working - guess it is in the middle. Can't wait till final result. *_*

So today did English and Science exams. The former is alot easier than the trials - the latter...haha...ha...eh...I skipped some questions...>.>" I swear some of the questions are NOT Science-related...sounds more like Geography - which I am gonna fail tomorrow. =D

Staying up to 2 in the morning watching SR musical/concerts is not a good idea. Or actually maybe it is since it's like an anti-drug for me and kept me awake somehow today.

First thing when got the SR Nigakki concert - skipped it over to the 'Futari ha Wasurechau' song. lol Ami's being the usual adorable spastic while Mamiko's just calmly singing. Eh...mostly calmly...

/Two other things - besides the fact they're wearing yukata - that made me go zOmG

- Kawada Shinji is actually talking and moving in the concert - Yes it's the first time I've seen him, lol

- Full song of Akira's awesome ringtone - yay! Go Kaori! =3 /random

And now I'm gonna go and watch it all (wah - it's almost 3 hours. *w*!!) instead of studying for History and Geography. =3 We still pass if we just put our student number and survive for 2-3 hours without getting our papers ripped and get a band one, right? ... Ok I'm studying.

Surfing the net to find information for the release date of the OVA for IM and found these clips instead.

Hilarious short clips (audio only but subs) cut off from a radio show that is hosted by Kawasumi Ayako and Noto Mamiko.

Here a fan askes for them to speak English to each other for one minute.

Here a fan askes what would Ayako do if someone suddenly came and took Mamiko away from the studio.

Btw: the subber is a huge fan of Ayako and has a love/hate thing for Mamiko. Thought I just mention that...

-------------------

Seems the 'rumour' is true afterall that Sakurai did something that will cost him his reputation and his career. *looks at the anime casts that he will probably won't be in soon* Darn, the poor man.

That rumour of Ami having a nasty fight with SUNRISE and is the reason why then off the cast better be false...:S But then...the cake...

-------

I take back those words of my temporary hatred of Van son a few months ago - I love it again. >.>" The comedies are getting better now and lol - Hong Dao is funny in this one. She's acting as Quang Minh's mother who doesn't know/speak english.

Dao: So how was the food? *in viet*
Minh's wife: Uh...it's delicious. *in english*
Dao: Huh?
Minh's wife: ...
Dao: You mean shit?
Minh: Mother! She meant De-li-cious.
Dao: But does that mean nice or bad?!
Minh: Nice!
Dao: Oh so 'Eat-shit' means nice ok.
