Update | Designing is fun when you are in the mood.

So just thought i’d give a quick update on my progress with mSPACE 09. I have the layout for the front page completed but I have as yet to finish off the fine details. Here’s a shot below of the almost completed post design. Needs a little more work yet.

I totally watched a couple more episodes of Kurozuka as well. It was in French so I was a bit @_@ but the show was good anyway. Toradora 4 was good also. I think there is another episode out so i’ll go try find that.

I read the first volume of Runaways a Marvel comic. Very cool. I’ll try grab the second volume I think. I also badly want to read Civil War stuff.

Anywho onwards to the weekend!

Hyakko - A tale of introversion and bread.

What follows in this post is the mad ramblings of a person who forced himself to watch something crap. Super crap. It was about as bland as a piece of bread. Bread that had perhaps been left in the cupboard too long and had gone a little dry. It was horrible. It was so horrible I cannot even be bothered to post pictures. I cannot be bothered to edit what I typed as I watched. I cannot believe that I am still posting this. I will have to choose another show to watch. Hyakko is retarded.

I will state however Ayu has the most Moe voice matched to a character I have ever experienced. EVER. Chinese-like girl was super generic. All of them were generic. Long live their uniforms and Moe-chan’s voice.

I apologize for any grammatical or spelling errors below. It was merely meant to serve as a guide for when I refined it into a post.

Rolling Transcript of Hell

leaping…
something about tigers… yuri?? ok.. jumping through the sky..
weak start imo.. that made no sense and not enough pantsu.
the uniform is cool (the only thing in this show that possibly would have been good. the uniforms. and only because they would be featured in doujin. damn you blissmo i’m not a pervy old man D: .. ok maybe I am pervy.)
the animation.. is odd… almost too simplistic in some respects .. just.. out of proportion. ok short darkhaired chick looks cool and chinese..

whats with all the dark shadows? this is japan they have electricty dammit.
she feels she is different?(short orange)
looks like she was trying to decide what kind of personality to have. timid and worrying. or outgoing and extravert. she cant change just like that though :/ she;s the same as she was in middle school?

ok it’s official. 3.27 minutes and im as bored as a turtle with LIFE. she’s crying.. ok kinda moe…

she’s totally lost .. might have been more moe if she was lost cos she was just hopeless. instead its a huge school. DARN YOU REALITY.

hmm another girl.. niiice boooots. er wut.. eyes. ok orange-chan is too moe. purple chick is stiff or just like memory like a gold fish.. ok she’s sharp. ok sub tl notes suck.

HORROR! | Or is it just spooky violence?

So I saw Mouryou no Hako and Kurozuka last week. I had no idea what was going on in Mouryou no Hako but there was hints of yuri and then random suicide? It was odd. I cannot be bothered to watch more to be honest. It was good but yeah not my cup of tea. It brought to mind thoughts of shows that bored me.

Kurozuka on the other hand was a brilliant (see: enjoyable) watch. (Yes hate on me if you will, I know someone at least will say the show is crap) I liked the art, the action, the impossibility and the atmosphere of the show. I was reminded of Samurai Champloo for some reason (see: footnote) I think it was the copious action and zombie type people. Anywho the show looked lovely. I don’t know about you guys but the quality of the shows this season seems to be higher then the previous… not to mention all the Aitch-Dee. As much as I enjoyed this show I think i’ll wait till it’s all done to actually watch it through.. or heck watch it streaming. It didn’t catch me enough.

It's funny because this picture has nothing to do with the post... I should work on that.

I plan to watch more Toradora (who isn’t) along with a little Hyakko. As well as a show JTFish is going to attempt to flap his fins at.

Anyway I altered the layout specs for mSPACE 09 again. The design has broken it’s centered box form. As you may noticed I have altered the current theme as well. As much as JT is able to influence my design skills with his Taiyaki powers, pink will forever be er shunned. IMHO.

Footnote

Samurai Champloo, full of seemingly endless filler-type episodes was an enjoyable show nonetheless. HOWEVER. It had one of the worst endings I have ever seen. I think the severity of a bad ending seems much higher when the rest of the show seemed to be ok. It achieved the badge of CRAPEND as opposed to BADEND (see: School Days) along with Kare Kano.

I'll work on relative images next time.. honest.. I will.

Despair | Have a cup of tea love.

Hyakko! I haven’t seen it so I have no idea what it’s like. Toradora! I love it, well I like it a lot and am enjoying the show. Yozakura Quartet! It’s ok, nothing like I wanted it to be though.. unless I see a major plot twist and some killings i’m not interested (make this show dark dammit). Skip Beat! I have no idea but for some reason I have it. Chaos;Head! Ok THIS SHOW WAS WHACK. Not interested though. I want a dark shocker but this switches between comedy and horrors so much that it’s laughable. I swear it must be a Korean director.. darn Koreans and their genre mergers. Kurozuka! This looked kind of interesting.. I think, I can’t remember I have it here to watch though. To Aru Majutsu no Index! Looks SAWEEEET! In fact i’m a huge Komoe fan. EVE no Jikan ACT02! Win. I assume. Still need to watch this too.

Yay for huge pointless paragraphs. Anyway homies this week sucks on so many levels but i’m trying to look on the bright side. Anyway I now post an image for you. Maybe it’s for me. I don’t know. SMASHING PUMPKINS ROCK.

Tidbits | Music and my mind or being creative.

I got hos in different area codes

In an amazing turn of events when I awoke this morning nothing had changed. I didn’t awake to find myself somewhere else. I did not awake to find I had a completely different life. I did not awake to find that everything I knew was a conspiracy or lie. In fact I awoke to find life was just as it was when I went to sleep. This post was considerably depressing when I first drafted it. I decided to lighten the tone though and see if I can’t imagine a world which would be better, one I could dream about and that would get me through the day.

In other news I need to find a nice journal, with a nice leather or substitute cover. Why? Well I have so many things I want to write down these days. Small ditties that pop into my mind every now and then. Something I can write my post ideas in for the most part. I find myself scribbling down layout designs and website plans literally on napkins these days. If my laptop had a touch screen i’m sure I would use the screen writing function. As it is however it’s not practical to use a pen on my screen… it tends to cause damage D: (thanks nephew).

I like the idea of having a journal too. I spend a lot of time on public transport and having a journal would be perfect for 1) keeping me inconspicuous and avoiding eye-contact 2) ensuring that all the amazing ideas and thoughts don’t go to waste. Using public transport gives you time to think about “stuff”. Just everything. If I could use this time of day more productively I would feel better. Who knows, I might start drawing.

The thing is I really want a good one right.. and I have no idea where to look. My sister probably knows a shop in the city somewhere. If you could point me anywhere though I would appreciate it.

I was thinking about my anime watching habits and the shows that I like or appreciate. A lot of them are comedies sure, I do find however that I am drawn to shows with alternative styles. Take as an example Dead Leaves. I loved it.. it was funny, nonsensical and looked like nothing i’d seen before. I’ve also enjoyed movies like Tekkonkinkreet and Appleseed. Quite opposite when you put them together but then they stand out from the norm anyway.

Something along the lines of this style...

or maybe this...

I’m not aware of anyone else who does this but i’ll let you in on my own mind anyway. Whenever I listen to music my mind drifts to this story. I see this story as an anime that plays in my mind. The art style shifts quite dramatically from loose brushstrokes to intense detail depending on the speed or actions of the people or environment. It involves four people so far, they are rebels of some sort. Rebels for a good cause. I’d put their age at around 20? Give or take a few years. I haven’t seen their faces yet so I couldn’t really say.

The music sort of dictates what they are doing. If I listen to Daft Punk I always see these characters running from military forces and exchanging fire of some sort. They seem to be able to create visible force shields as well as fire energy with the use of high technology that is positioned around their head as well as a natural ability of some sort. The technology shifts from being internal and overlaid on their vision to being expressed physically with tattoos of varying colour and design that light up when the character’s ability is in use.

I have this Daft Punk album called Alive 2007. It’s a bunch of remixes they performed live. Anywho whenever I listen to the album I can imagine this massive long battle which culminates in the destruction of this massive broadcasting fortress that is under control of a great empire. It would appear the empire’s methods include lying to the masses to keep them under control.

It doesn’t matter what type of music or when I play it. I always get these characters and they mould themselves to the music and react to it depending on the mood it conveys. It’s amazing, I just wish I could draw it all. It’s funny… I used to think that only artists were capable of thinking of unique art pieces. I guess this was because they were able to express it. I know differently now though. I can think of these things but translating them into a form for others to see is the bit that I cannot connect.

Anyway, here’s to a great week everyone!

ZOMG SOMEONE VECTOR THIS <3 | Care of nekosasu!

Threes | I don’t care if that sounds wrong.

It’s somewhat a celebratory time here at mellowSPACE. We have reached some milestones! :D! We passed 3000 unique visitors this week (since we started using Woopra). We did it by posting three posts by three authors and we got about 300 uniques for those posts all up :)! So in celebration you can all go buy yourselves cake or candy.

I managed to watch Toradora the other day. I saw it in RAW and then grabbed the GG subs when they came out. I’m going to fanboy Taiga just to annoy Mike hahahahaa. I enjoyed the show and i’m pretty sure I will follow the series. I just need to get my CentOS CLI FLV converter to run. I hate putting acronyms in capitals but whatever.

I also saw the first episode of Yozakura Quartet. I watched it in RAW so I can only guess at what the back-story is. It looked somewhat interesting but not amazing. I will probably watch one or two episodes if it gets subbed. Cat girls are irresistible.

Another great release by icie is out for all you Eve no Jikan lovers. We get to explore more of Sammi’s life I guess. I still need to watch it.

The new mSPACE 09 design is coming together nicely. I managed to sketch out a lot of the layout today while I was travelling around. Notebooks are awesome. I would love a leather bound journal to use though .. with a nice pen. ALSO PLEASE IF SOMEONE IS FEELING GENEROUS AND INSANE GO HERE.

Anyway peeps that’s all for now i’ll catch you later. (Going out to a BBQ.. also I HATE databases.)
