Behold! A full-faced nekomimi helmet I just had customized. The basic design is just like Celty’s (Watch Durarara!) since it was mainly inspired by hers, but I had it painted black with a bit of gray nekomimi motive to meet my own preference.

***********

IDR 150k for the shape-customization, another IDR 75k for the re-painting job. A total of IDR 225k or about USD 25. Totally worth it, I guess.

***********

The process took time though, the guy who did the customization wasn’t really in sync with me. The preliminary design he showed me was really bad that it looked like a squirrel-ears instead of cat’s. After a bit more discussion (and me showing him how Celty’s helmet looks like), he finally got the idea and start working on it.

Rio – Rainbow Gate

“Big boobs with an unbelievably good luck working at a casino as a dealer, fighting bad dude who tries to steal a teddy bear from a loli. Oh, did I mention she wears a wedding dress on a card game?” is prolly all I can say about this anime. Nothing special. Although I don’t hate the main chara design, which kinda sexy in a way, I can’t find anything else that makes me want to keep watching it.

Infinite Stratos

This season’s mecha show. Started by an aerial battle scene which is pretty decently done if not better. Although there are a lot of things throughout the episode that I already found from other mecha show, I wouldn’t mind having more of them. The main hero, a dude who happens to be the only guy in the world that can use an IS (a human-sized mechanical suit which somehow, responds only to girls), enters a school specialized on teaching how to be IS pilots. Of course, this means a “holy-shit-a-massive-harem-animu-in-an-all-girls-school” situation. Despite having this bliss, he couldn’t stand all the pheromones. So he tried to turn to his childhood friend, which turned out to be his room-mate. Add a little bit of after-bath moment and a “So you’re big enough to wear a bra now?” line to lighten the mood, he’s ready to go… or not. So they skip their first night together and comes the breakfast scene and in-the-class which later he got a challenge from an ojou-sama type classmate on a duel for an inter-class representative.

To be honest, I enjoy this anime and look forward to its second episode next week despite a lot of people says bad things about it. Something about it being un-original.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

This one is a Hidamari Sketch turned into a magical girl anime.

A little girl meets another girl and a small talking animal in a dream full of unexplainable things. The next day, the girl she met in that dream appears as a transfer student and warn her not to become what she is not. The next thing, she heard voices in her head asking for help which turns out to be the little talking animal who later asks her to make a contract with it and become its partner.

Typical magical girl anime, I would say, aside from the weird monsters and the world they fight in.

***************

Yumekui Merry

Yet another strange one. I don’t understand half of it, actually. Well, maybe it’s because I was watching it half-asleep.

A dude with a strange power of being able to see what kind of color the dream other people will have. His friends are using his ability as some kind of fortune-telling although he only sees black on his own dream. Black means nightmare. And yeah, he’s been having nightmares about being chased by lots of cats that talk. One day, he finds his nightmare has become reality. The boss of the cats tries to use his dream to come to the real world when a mysterious girl saves him. Apparently, the girl is somewhat a being of dream that lost in the real world trying to go back to where she belongs.

I have nothing else to say other than…. Merry is kyuuuutoo~ <3

***************

Beelzebub

Another one of Shonen Jump manga made it into anime. I really enjoyed the manga, however there are some degrees, if not a lot, of hilariousness lost in the anime version. Though I doubt I would think the same way if I haven’t read the manga. Either way, it was still a good show.

A delinquent so evil that a demon lord’s baby boy who came down to the human world got so attached to him he wouldn’t let go. The baby’s mission on earth is to be powerful enough to eventually, destroy humanity.

***************

Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janaindakara ne

Long title is LONG! lol

This is prolly the second most entertaining anime this season, my version. Simply put: A daily life of a super perverted little sister (and a brother complex at that) trying to seduce her super perverted older brother. The somewhat weird character design came from the original manga.

***************

Kore wa Zombie Desuka

I nominate this to be the most entertaining anime of the season (based on the first episode only, though). I had quite a hard time holding in my laughter so I won’t cause an uproar throughout my house.

Basically: A dead guy raised from the dead by a dandere necromancer who likes tea meets with a chainsaw-carrying masou-shoujo (you heard it right) in a cemetery who fights school uniform-wearing giant bear and later on cuts the boy into half that still manage to give a tsukomi with a rather calm face and somehow steals the masou-shoujo’s power leaving her completely naked and thus kicks the boy in the face over and over and demands him to let her stay in his house while she’s out of power that later on, making the boy able to transform into a masou-shoujo while being completely a boy which he ended up being seen by his schoolmates as a perverted cross-dressing guy.

That sums it up.

Oh, btw… I tried to look up for a “masou-shoujo” reference but I haven’t found anything useful so far. I do, however, found the meaning of the kanji used for the word “masou” (魔装) that means “devil/demon/evil” and “binding/clothed”. So I assume if “mahou-shoujo” means “magical girl”, “masou-shoujo” would probably mean “witch girl” as in the witch that does horrible things. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Level E

This has potential to be a yaoi anime….

Apparently, there are aliens living among humans that humans know nothing about. One of them has his spaceship crashed, so he freeloads in a baseball-loving schoolboy’s apartment who only just started living alone.

Feel free to use them, or delete them off your hdd. AFAIK, this kind of things require creativity and creativity is what I’m lacking.

P.S.

I’m no touhou fanboy, by the way…

/me sighs…

Jishaku Toshokan

I get to make the picture tags they use! Weeeeee~ \o/ though that’s practically all I could do anyways, and seems like not many people liked it They changed it, and it’s much better now.

So, unless tokyotosho’s not coming back alive…. this thing is more than enough to replace it. The problem lies whether people knows it’s existence or not to keep adding stuffs to it.

But well, that should be no problem for those experts, I expect.

<Kusion> what
<loliki> a fandub : P
<Kusion> oh
<Kusion> that’d be interesting
<fnord> didnt we have our eyes set on a hentai fandub?

<fnord> so that would be 2 voices for the girls already
* Kusion high fives fnord
<Kusion> nice

I really like the sound of it :3

Yeah, small things like that kept me going. In fact, I managed to finish translating nyankoi faster that I had imagine. Usually, I got bored and decided to continue the next day, but this time I finished it in one go. Nice, since this show’s getting a bit boring each episode.

But then I remembered that I haven’t finish the task given by Silky to tlc K-ON 10. They’re subbing it to Indonesian. I’ve done about 60% this morning before I decided to put Nyankoi up for the first priority. Sorry c0balt, I’ll make sure to finish it tomorrow since it’s already midnight now.

Back to the main topic, this lack of daily dosage of anime is due to my crappy interfail. I’m having a “god-help-me-I-got-2kB/s-off-torrent” situation. ImageShack’s torrent drive is no longer free, wtorrent seemed to get all “tsun-tsun” when MasterCJ tried to install it on the new nekomimi ddl server (which is currently: “The DDL Server died because someone was putting rips on it, getting it DMCA’d under our asses. We’re looking into replacements”), leaving me no choice but to leech anime off Izark’s hdd for me to keep on living.

So no matter what happens, Imma raid Izark’s place tomorrow… whether he likes it or not.

Pizzamie

I honestly don’t know what to call this, but since it looks like a mini pizza, let’s just call it that.

Step 1. Make your mi goreng like you usually do.

Step 2. While waiting for your mi goreng being cooked, crack an egg to an empty cup and mix well.

Step 3. After your mi goreng is done, pour all the egg into mi goreng’s cup, and mix well.

Step 4. Prepare your frying pan, put a bit of oil and heat it up. Wait until it seems to reach a good temperature to cook.

Step 5. Pour all the noodles, flatten the surface so it would make a round shape. Wait about a minute or two, and flip it up-side down. Wait another one or two minutes until it gets brownish.

Step 6. Your pizzamie is ready.

Enjoy.

P.S: This is a common way to cook your mi goreng specially for poor university students. Widely known in Indonesia.

I’ll try to write more of mi goreng later on when I get the chance and ingredients.

We picked up froznkamui on our way as well before we went to Izark’s uni for a short visit. He said he needed to pick up a form or something.

Done with his business there, off we go to a local KFC for lunch. I dunno if it’s just me, but the chicken tasted different from the usual KFC I ate. But seeing no one commented it, I assumed it was just me.

So, after about an hour of driving, we arrived.

The smell of sulfur from the crater was pretty noticeable. “It smells like fart”, froznkamui commented. But putting that aside, we started to walk. Our objective was to get to the center of the crater. And it’s about 2 kilometers by foot.

It was a long walk especially for me who haven’t been doing sports for years and replaced it with packs of smokes. So yeah, I ran out of breaths pretty quickly. The path was an uphill with about 15-20 degree of slope, rocks and trees everywhere. It was quite a hard work indeed.

On our way there, we found a cave (or so the sign says) which was so narrow and dark none of us was crazy enough to go inside without a guide. We might ended up lost or worse, disturbing whatever specter might inhabit it. That would suck.

We also found a sign that says: “Caution POISON”, though. And I raised one of my eyebrows a bit. One, because the English word doesn’t explain much about what is poisonous. Two, because none of my mates cared about that sign whatsoever.

After 10-15 minutes of rocky downhill walk, several “stopping to decide which path was the easiest way”, a few sudden change of weather (rain and sunny interchanging with 5 minutes interval or so), several “stopping to admire the grandeur of nature”, we managed to reach the bottom.

Brown(?) lagoon

And so, we proceeded to the center of the crater and found some kind of a lake or lagoon. It was very tricky trying to get closer since the ground is wet and slippery. I was hoping one of my mates slipped though, that’d be funny. But no, both of them were surprisingly cunning.

After we reached the innermost point we could reach without getting ourselves wet and admire the mountains surrounding us for about 10 minutes, we decided that we need to end this little adventure. So we walk back the path we took to get there.

Seeing that people who have been visiting this spot before arranged stones so they form letters, we tried to do the same. “AOI” was what we made since that is the forum where three of us met. It stands for “Anime Otaku Indonesia”.

We took a picture to see how the “AOI” looked like from higher up.

click the picture if you can't see the "AOI"

And that ended our visit to Tangkuban Perahu yesterday. It was fun, really. Sometimes, going out to do things like this is good even for a hikikomori like myself.

Me trying to find a salvation of life

I always say that to myself. How can I not? My daily life only consists of:

1. Getting up in the morning, turning on irc… talking to my not-so-real friends….

2. Going to my campus (where I have no real friends at all – all of them are elitist fuck!)

3. Go home.

4. Working on fansub thing.

5. Watch some anime.

6. Sleep.

7. The day repeats itself the next day.

I mean, I don’t have a girlfriend, I quit my job to finish my university as soon as possible, I have less real friend than the amount of fingers you have in one hand, my beloved imouto is far far away from me, and so on, and so on…

/me sighs

The only things that keep me from going mad are of course, internet and packs of smoke.

In other words, I fail at life.
