Steamboat!

Been a long time since I last went for a buffet and boy, was I really full that day.

Food was not bad, spammed the fish and pork over there, coupled with crabs here and there, and continue to spam more meat into the tom yam soup base. Pure food awesomeness :D

crab shellsssssss failed in an attempt to crack its claw with teeth power :/

more fish and sotong and fish and sotong and fi-

didn't actually went to count the no. of plates of food we actually took but I was pretty sure we ate alot. Like really A LOT. :P 

Nice refuel after a tiring morning activity, really had fun over at the dinner, going crazy at jokes and spamming food at the same time :)

OH YEAHHH! :D

This week's series episodes were kinda weird in their own various story developments. Either the writers pushed the story too fast resulting in a less than desired result, or perhaps giving a stated fact that I don't actually see that it was actually a said or made fact.

Over this week's Psycho-Pass episode, apparently Kogami has now been deemed as an individual that is not able to get near to Makishima due to his desire to kill him rather than the Chief's decision to capture him alive to add him into the Sibyl System. Seeing the chief all alive again would mean that the one that Makishima had killed was not the only "shell" that she or "they" had, and they are still very interested in obtaining Makishia's brain to add into the Sibyl System. And so goes the marvelous plan to attach Kogami to another division so that he can continue to track Makishima down discreetly which unfortunately led to him almost being killed by the Chief's altered dominator that was swtiched to Eliminator mode, in the same way that killed Kagari off. Akane had asked Kogami to promise her that he'll be an inspector and not a dog that just hunts Makishima down and at the exact same episode, he breaks his promise and asks Akane to forgive him as he had chosen the path to hunt down Makishima Shogo. Normally it would've been a rather emotional scene with Kogami now having left the team and is now acting on his own, but the "promise" sequence was too short to actually made it prominent enough to be emotional. I mean who makes a promise and then later breaks it so so soon?! Kinda predicting now that Kogami might not survive the end of the series (sense a death flag somewhere) where it's entirely possible for Akane to actually finish Kogami off, in whatever reason, but I definitely hope for a happy ending to this. By far the story has been good and I'm hoping that the end would not ruin this wonderful original series.

Shin Sekai Yori brought a rather interesting surprise and a pretty weird declaration by Satoru too near the end of the episode. Apparently the fiend itself was said to be Maria's and Mamoru's child and as a fiend that does not have the effect of death feedback, he/she was able to kill Shisei off, who wasn't able to kill the fiend due to his death feedback. And that's another big powerhouse gone and the rest finally discovers Yakomaru's true plan to take over the human race. Which was to capture human infants and make them grow into fiends to help overthrow the human race. And the first one that was released, was the child of Maria and Mamoru. For a moment, I actually thought that it was Maria herself, until I saw the child build and I questioned myself again. It was until the end of the episode, where Satoru actually openly said that the first target Yakomaru was after was Maria and Mamoru's child, and that didn't surprise Saki at all. Which was when I went "Wha-?" I didn't actually see how the identity of the child was identified. There were no clues or whatsoever that led to them thinking that it was their child in the 1st place. Nor did the child openly declare that he/she was their child. The fiend only beared similar looking hair and eyes as the two, but by the way Satoru sounded, he was pretty confident, as though it was already a known fact. Awkwardness awkwardness... What Yakomaru did might have reflected what the older generations of humans actually did, when the Cantus users went against the normal individuals and "took" over the world, where every human being was able to control the power of Cantus. And so it seems that the age of fiends and Queerats would be arriving. Am really quite interested in how the issue of the fiends would be settled, and with the fact that the child was risen by the Queerats, it would be rather obvious to say that there is a very high possibility that Maria and Mamoru are really dead now. Perhaps they were taken in to "protect" them, until their child is born and the two were killed off to let the fiend breed until the time was right to lead the rebellion. Looking back at how the story connects all the way back when they were still kids, it hurts me to see how much the group of 5 has suffered and now only Saki and Satoru are left.

Had been ironing out pick picking skills over the guitar over the past weekends, having learnt like 3-4 songs where only one actually had a playable solo portion. Magia's one was so damn fast :X

had managed to almost complete Aozora no Namida, all except this weird looking part over here, at the start of the 2nd verse. Sounded rather weird and the finger positions are really awkward IMO. Gotta get used to this and the up-down strumming method rather than just constantly going one direction :/

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

God Eater 2 latest PV! The new weapons look real cool! Hoping for more variety or monsters and added difficulty since the link-aid function is present. Localization please! :P




Another chord cover for Alteration. Gotta try and learn this :X

THAT'S IT?

Back last week on Boku wa Tomodachi no Sukunai NEXT, when a fake time travel device made by Rika made Kodaka reveal his secret that he and Yozora were actually childhood friends, I had looked forward to what could happen next since that's really plot breaking in many ways:

Firstly, the whole neighbour club was set up in order for the club members to learn how to make friends (although it's getting a little lame that they still do not see each other as friends yet...) and in light of Kodaka and Yozora's relationship in the past, it would seem like the two were friends before and had joined this club, all the while knowing that they were still friends, just that that was in the past. So does the neighbour club still have a place for them?

Secondly, what would the others actually think? For Sena, perhaps it was the romance sided question that she might question Kodaka. She might not realise it yet but she does harbour some feelings for Kodaka and knowing that Yozora and Kodaka were childhood friends, it does seem that she had just lost an advantage if she ever had any. And for the rest? Acknowledge that they were still friends? Or perhaps probe on what exactly happened in the past. 

It was all hopes and wishes that the climax of the series would finally appear, but WAIT. how about : no. 

That was exactly what the latest episode brought to the viewers. Almost nothing particular about the whole "childhood friend" saga. All it took was Yozora saying that it was the truth and that saying it out would have no benefit or whatsoever. And that was all that it was for the conclusion of the supposedly good climax. I had been expecting more, and I believe many others too, about the secret being finally let out of the bag... The large load of the episode instead focused on the normal everyday activities in the club, and Yozora and Sena may be becoming friends after Sena's honest opinion on Yozora. Disappointing plot progression... Does the "childhood friend" saga makes no meaning?!

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

On the other hand, I am very impressed over how the plot for Sasami-san@Ganbaranai has progressed so far. And with the latest episode: I was speechless over the last part of the episode and an epic cliffhanger to boot. Awesome much?

First it all started with a vision of Sasami's deceased mother, which was perceived to be an illusion at 1st, and then later, Sasami got to go shopping and have fun with her like a normal family. Which I thought was an alteration of the world by Sasami who might have wished to spend time with her mother again... Until the atmosphere started to get serious and her mother was actually real, returned from the dead to remind Sasami of her mission as a Tsukuyomi priestess and to use her alteration to help the world progress.

Coming to Sasami's rescue were the 3 Yagami sisters who are divine beings but were powerless upon Sasami's mother, who held the sword that could slay divine beings and at the same time, have the protection of the underworld. And what we got was:

the 3 sisters, 2 were defeated, with Tsurugi being sent into the underworld and Tama being spared after Sasami gave in to her mother's request and she brings Sasami over to the "real" world where she can become a Tsukuyomi priestess.

Now that leaves a question behind: was the fall of the Yagami sisters all a lie? And that the world that Sasami saw who had them defeated was a fake and her mother had brought her to the real world? Or could the "real" world be the analogy on the world that Sasami should be in, in her shrine to train, rather than the "fake" outside world of freedom and joy in life. I was pretty surprised over the lack of Kamiomi's presence over this episode, but boy does this keep the tension high. Was glued to the screen over the last few scenes. And of course another cliffhanger to end it all. Bravo.

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

What came just as surprising as Sasami was the preview of the upcoming episode of Shin Sekai Yori. Although there might have been hints hinting to the last foe that Saki and Satoru would face, the possibility has risen again after looking at:

Maria?! 

The possiblity of Maria being the fiend is definitely not zero and seeing how the previous few episodes had played out, the chances are, it might be true. Seeing how the ED of the series had become the insert where Maria and Saki had separated, and that Saki's being constantly reminded of Maria, I see no way that Maria is actually dead and that she won't be making a comeback. Acknowledging the fact that Maria and Mamoru had been left with the queerats before they leave Saki and the others, it adds on to the possibility that somehow she had begun working with Yakomaru. Perhaps she just wants revenge for Mamoru who was forced out of the village after deeming his existence as useless? I really wouldn't be surprised if Maria was the fiend itself. Next episode please!

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

wonderful cover IMO, do want the tabs @_@

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!

新年快乐， 万事如意，心想事成，身体健康，步步高升，学业进步，年年有余！

Over the course of the festive season, it was a pretty wet occasion too, where it rained through the 1st and 2nd day of CNY. Not sure where did the rain suddenly came from but perhaps some cloud seeding problems? O.o

This year was a fairly chill year, and the 2nd day was more free of house visiting that we actually headed down to the Gardens by the Bay last night, before planning to head to the River Hongbao later that night. Unfortunately the rain didn't quite stop last evening and by the time we got there, the drizzle made it quite impossible to bring out the camera and had to head back into the shoppes at MBS instead. Thankfully the rain subsided later that night and the River Hongbao was lighted quite nicely this year. In fact, I believe this year had one of the best lightings over the past few years.

It was a new concept where the 12 animals in the chinese zodiac are all displayed being in a vase rather than the usual statues of them just chilling there. The giant lantern portrait was amazing. Through certain views, it really seemed like the fishes where cruising along the frames of the portrait.

rather nice don't ya think? :D

andddd of course not forgetting the usual "hit the bell for wishes", this year was slightly different too since they actually did went to label the different bells with different wishes. Which made it harder since you had to aim for the specific one. There was only one that I could actually hit, which was 身体健康，as others were not that related to me, like 生意兴隆 and 早生贵子.

and so after a few tries, it was a hit! ting!

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

Over in Japan, it was the time of WonFes 2013! Many pre-release PVCs, figmas, and nendos were being displayed over at the event, and they are looking great :)

following are 3 links over the coverage of the event itself:

it was an emotional 2 episodes, with Psycho-Pass and Robotics;Notes itself. For both, the same feeling that occurred was "now this is gonna be some serious sh-t"

and for the former, the Sibyl System's secret was almost revealed when Kagari actually went face to face with Makishima Shogo's underling and confronted him over at the core of the Sibyl System, but little did he knew that by knowing the system's secret, he was eliminated by none other than their own Chief, who turns out to be not human and more of a cyborg? Or perhaps I should say Sibyl herself? O.O now THAT was just plain speculation.. From the start of the episode where Kagari actually split up with Akane and Kogami, I could already sense his death flag being triggered and I was feeling a little successful since I wasn't good at sensing death flags at all so this could actually be my 1st and the most accurate one to date. Leaving that aside, I was pretty impressed over the fight between Kogami and Makishima which was initially featured over at the very start of the series. Which impresses me further more where I had almost forgotten all about the starting sequence of the series and "BAM" it's here. That's some nice plotting over there too. Not forgetting Akane's helmet whack. Quick and efficient. Looking at her hesitating over to kill Makishima or not reminds me of Kirito hesitating over killing Sugou as well, the two scenes do seem similar yeah, but seeing the flashbacks that Akane was faced with, it was heart-wrenching for her to see her hesitate between choosing the right decision or taking revenge which would most probably make her into a latent criminal. Back to Kagari's side, for a moment when the Chief actually shot the real criminal, I was like ooh, so she could kill too, until she pointed the Dominator onto Kagari which initially read to be non-lethal paralyser, until she forces it into Lethal Eliminator and finishes off Kagari with it, and takes the secret of the Sibyl System together with him. Which no one actually knows what exactly is the system about. Seeing how the Sibyl System was labelled to be, it could be possible that living brains were actually used to give "eyes" to the system itself and the core was the Chief herself. 3/4 into the series and this is what we had received, well done I would say :)

Following Robotics;Notes, the group's giant robot was now complete with a virtual cloak that made it seem like Gunvarrel when looked through an Iru-O. When things start to seem all calm and normal, trouble ensues and Kai was pretty much caught in it while searching for the next Kimijima report. At a certain evening, Subaru was checking the mobility issue of the giant robot when the gust of wind actually tilted the robot over, onto Subaru, which ended with a cutscene and was never revisited. I don't think he'll actually die but that's some serious business. At the same course of time, Kai discovered the next Kimijima report just as Shizuka approaches him to confront him again for his curiousity of the Kimijima reports, until the Iru-O started to play Kagome-Kagome again, leading to Shizuka's exoskeleton going out of control, forcing her to walk off the cliff and losing her life as she hit the rocks below. That was a truly emotional scene with Kai getting hang of the seriousness of the event and tried his best trying to stop Shizuka but to no avail. And the parting sentence where Shizuka asks Kai to tell Aki's sister that she thanks her for the "legs" she had given to her. Heart-wrenching. It was just sad. And seeing how Kai actually had to witness someone's death right in front of him, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually broke. His seiyuu really did a great job bringing out his emotions too. Now I can't wait for the next episode to be aired!

Till next week!

The power of Originality.

Yes. I do know that almost all Gundam series are original productions but I shall not move over to talking over the large mobile suit franchise. Nor am I gonna rant over adapted series since I enjoy watching them nonetheless, but this post is going to be about two more important trait that seems to be present in original series. "Debatable" and "Reconstruction". And that is exactly one of the reasons I actually enjoy most of the original series, unlike the downfall of Guilty Crown (yes, it's too bad to be forgotten). Perhaps I'll leave the "Reconstuction" part at a latter time, when the genre dissection through Madoka Magica would be a returning post or some sort when the series had ended.

Back in the times, there was this series that caught me off guard, through it's unique storyline, an awesome background story and a widespread of characters of unique personalities. All happening in the real world, with societal changes and effects. And that, is the Eden of the East.

The story revolves around 12 individuals or otherwise known Selecaos, as the players of the game that was laid out for them to "save" Japan in anyway possible. In the game, each of the players receive a cell phone with an internal balance worth 10 billion yen, and a phone operator known as Juiz which helps to fulfil any tasks the players request for in return for a price to pay from their stash of money. When a player's balance reaches zero or the money is used or any selfish purposes, the player gets eliminated from the game by the Supporter, or an anonymous player from the group of 12.

It gave the idea or spread it, in terms of how actually one might think they can use the money for. With 10 billion yen, one can do many many things, but what exactly is the "correct" way of saving Japan? With that, it brings upon the "Debatable" factor that was present in the series

And that paved the way for the series to head in the correct direction, with each of the Selecaos trying to clear the game in their own way and the main protaganist, Akira Takizawa chooses to crown himself king of Japan and wipes his memory at the end of the TV series. Following the original series, it lead to 2 subsequent movies that concluded the whole story of the Eden of the East. It was a truly awesome series, with quite little recognition over it, or should I say a series made to be not as prominent due to perhaps it's little advertising and campaigning? There was much much more hype when Guilty Crown arrived but in the end, the hypes proved to be false when the story got clotted halfway through, sending it into a downward spiral.

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

That was however, not the main discussion I was intending to head towards, but rather Psycho-Pass, which was another original series that is currently being aired now.

The "Debatable" factor was more strongly present in Psycho-Pass as compared to Eden of the East, with the idea of the Sibyl System, where decisions, whether it's job related or crime related, are all decided by the AI, resulting in a peaceful society, or so they hoped. From the start, the Sibyl System, when came into light, already gave itself as a highly debatable topic, in the end, does the Sibyl System do more harm than good? I would personally feel the former. "Reconstruction" was instead hinted rather than the strong Madoka Magica series (which reconstructed an entire genre), where the idea of keeping a society in check was something new, in a form of an AI. It was true that the government in Psycho-Pass were still human beings, but since they themselves were also chosen by the Sibyl System, does it really make them good leaders even as they continue to rely on the system?

The Sibyl System basically helps to scan an individual's mind, determining his or her aptitude in terms of working abilities and thus helps to sort the people according to their ability and employ them in their relevant job scopes. This then raises the first debatable point: Aptitude, does it really matter that much in an individual? And does someone with an aptitude to work in a certain job would certainly become a better worker? What I believe is the experience that makes a person a better worker and someone with an aptitude does not 100% adapt to the working environment but it does, in a way, make the job easier for the individual to work in. Lets just take an electronics assembler for an example. A person with the aptitude for it may be someone who is able to see small electronics parts easily and fit them into the correct regions, whereas another individual who does not have the aptitude but possess electronics knowledge has little to know about the basis of the electronic parts. In time, the latter would surpass the former as a better worker as he now knows more about assembling too, inclusive of his background knowledge, unlike the former, who at most can only get better in assembling but never being able to understand the logic or basis behind the assembly. So now, who's the better worker? That would be one of the flaw I discover in the Sibyl System.

In accordance to the working selection by the system, another flaw would be the discrimination among the minorities. For individuals who are chosen by the Sibyl Systems to be having an aptitude to working in a high flyer job in the future and thus enrol them into top institutes regardless of whether they are studious to begin with or not. And that actually raises the question on what about the others? Higher education can be a factor in bringing out the aptitude within a person and through the System, some with future aptitudes or have even better aptitudes than the rest are overlooked by the Sibyl System and filtered off the list early to make it easy for the city to operate. Basically as an AI, it does not regard more on the "what if" part but just take action on the present, rather than wasting memory space in computing on whether individual A will or will not perform better than individual B if both goes for the same education when individual A already has an aptitude of working which B does not. This discrimination brings about upset feelings among many others but no one can do anything about it in fear of being eliminated from the city.

Which comes to my next flaw of the System, in the way it decides a person on whether he is a criminal or not. The Sibyl System monitors the stress level of areas of the town, the stress and mental state of an individual and the likelihood of he or she wanting to commit a crime depending on their Crime Coefficients, and their mental states are like an IC to the individuals, or their Psycho-Pass which determines their future. It is perhaps a good system in terms of ease but it ultimately boils down to the topic of whether the mental state does decide a person's likelihood of committing crime. What I believe is that the system could have analysed the mental state of past criminals and through it's wide pool of data, it enables it to capture all those individuals with similar mental state as a tendency to commit a crime. But what the Sibyl System has resulted in, is a forced flat society where people just do what the system tells them to do, never letting anything to stress them or to think about what bad things that might happen to them as they know that the streets that they walk are safe as any "criminal" do not exist in the streets. That results in the situation where there is over reliance on the system and when it fails or when it crumbles in efficiency, the society falls apart as seen in the latest episode, where people who were once sane turn into possible criminals as they no longer know who they can trust in the streets since Sibyl's eyes no longer work.

Following that, the mental state does not show that the person in question is really going to commit a crime or not. Based on the case of Makishima Shogo, the Sibyl System has proved to be useless in terms of judging criminals like him who is able to commit crimes without his crime coefficient going up, making him invulnerable to the Dominator, a flawed weapon that is based on the Sibyl System, or a gun used for judging through Sibyl's eyes. In the incident where Akane's friend was killed by Makishima, it clearly shows the flaw in the Dominator system, which locks its trigger when pointed at someone who is determined as a good citizen, even when he was about a slit the throat of another individual. At that point in time, the Dominator is reduced to just scrap metal, a useless piece of weapon. Furthermore, the usage of the Dominators just result in greater reliance over the Sibyl System and just "shoot when you are told to" instead of thinking it over as to whether it was for the better or not. Which was perhaps the shine from Akane where she stops Kogami from shooting the woman victim at the start of the series when Sibyl judged her to be an individual not fit to be living in the society, until Akane goes forth to appeal to her, resulting in her returning to her calmer state of mind and saving her life as a result. The issue of having the Crime Coefficient also heads to the debatable issue of whether its a split of the moment thing or a lengthy one. Based on the 1st crime case that Akane was involved in, the woman victim had her psycho pass tainted due to be abused, resulting in her mental state to be highly unstable and Sibyl deem her as a potential criminal, turning the mode on the Dominator to being the Eliminator mode. But Akane manages to calm her down, the Eliminator mode returns to its normal stun mode and as a result, her life was saved and this clearly shows that it was a gun that can eradicate anyone as long as the person show signs of being a criminal even for only a second or so. So it isn't that trustable after all, more like a horrific weapon that misleads the user into killing other people.

Unfair would be another way to put it, where Kogami got demoted to an Enforcer after his crime coefficient goes up after he sees his partner being killed brutally and from that moment on, he remains as a latent criminal, not being able to return his psycho pass to normal.What he could have possibly felt at that moment could have been anger and revenge which for his friend, its an acceptable thing to feel but as a result, Sibyl deems him as a criminal, without looking at the reason of how the mental state was affected. And that is yet another flaw of the system with being too shallow in making decisions.

From the current way the story is heading, people are already doubting the Sibyl System's effectiveness and the society has collapsed from the over reliance of the artificial intelligence. This has already shot up to one of the more promising series since it first aired, and hopefully it doesn't disappoints or adopt the GC effect.

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

Sidetracking from here on, Sasamisan@Ganbaranai does really show how crazy the show already is from the start. From a recorded DVD to Shinto priest slaying another personality to a sudden UFO descent and armed forces heading to intercept the UFO... this just can't get more crazy than it already is. And not in a bad way so it seems. No matter how crazy the story gets, or how much weird transitions that the story has in their flow of time, the dots always connect to each other in the end, making one go: "Oh, so that's how it is". And that is one of the reasons why I really like the series' uniqueness. There was quite an inception styled work over at its 3rd episode, where after we do know that Sasami-san's brother actually holds the power of a certain divine being possibly being transferred from Sasami but the true answer that we received was that the divine being was actually one of the 3 Yagami sisters, known as Yagami Tsurugi. And it was in the past when she didn't want to be bothered by humans for her powers that she passes the power on to the Tsukuyomi family and had it reside in the females of the family, and now, in Sasami-san. The power was never in her brother in the first place and has always been inside her. The power allows the wielder to alter the world in a way to fulfil her wishes and at that moment, she had changed the world to let her brother have happiness and to her brother, his happiness comes from the ability to have the power of the divine being so that Sasami would no longer have to carry the burden of the Power of Amaterasu. And so as a result, the world had been altered in a way so that it seems that her brother has the power whereas the origin was still inside Sasami all along. That was some nice plot twist over there right in the 3rd episode and I do see the plot going well, no matter how crazy it does seem to be.

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

Shin Sekai Yori has finally shown the children all grown up, at the age of 26, with the 2 being left out of the initial 5. And after all this years, it has finally come to light that the sly Yakomaru or Squealer the Queerat, is officially evil after it attempted to rebel against the humans and attacked the town square. It was really a matter of time since it was always portrayed to be the evil one but what was even more disturbing was the fate of Maria and Mamoru. At the start when Saki actually had thought that she had seen them along with Shun, and that Satoru tells her that it was in this festival that the dead returns as spirits, possibly allowing her to see them. And that was perhaps the 1st hint. Next then comes the statement given by Tomiko-san. Where she denies the suspicion of Maria and Mamoru from helping the Robber Fly colony by stating clearly that the both of them are dead and that through inspection of their remains being brought by Squealer, it was really Maria and Mamoru's remains, even their DNA were matched. That surprised Saki as well as she might have realised that at that moment when Squealer had suggested to leave the issue of having fake remains to them instead might have been actually Squealer actually going to hunt down the two. Now that just gives 2 possible situations that might happen, one of which Maria and Mamoru were really hunted down by the Queerats and the remains were really theirs, or that the both of them had escaped and Tomiko-san had made her statement just to help Saki and to remove any suspicions over the two of them. As little as I want to accept, but personally I do feel that the former is true after all those hints and even a short "dream" sequence of Maria talking to Saki, as though it was a former goodbye. If it really was, that would be depressing since I really wished for the four of them to be reunited once more. Seeing how their official webpage does not have the character designs for 26 years old Maria and Mamoru, I do feel that the former is really true. This has since been a strong series after leaping back from the start, and it's really getting more and more interesting as the plot gets developed even further. 

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

and here's the 2nd ED to Shin Sekai Yori, it was pretty depressing after it was first played in depiction of Maria and Mamoru's departure. A beautiful song :)
