Because 7 is the Lucky Number

Hey there guys. This is Candice writing again on this random blog. To day I wanted to write about an anime I've finished watching recently but began watching a long time ago because I simply kept on forgetting to continue watching it. I want to write about Samurai 7. In my opinion, it was a good anime to watch and I can say it's recommendable though I did not really understand much the ending part. If you want to watch it, go ahead.
Samurai 7 is mainly about a village that always gets looted during the harvest season by a group of bandits -- in this anime bandits are samurais that do not follow the samurai way of things and do things as they please, like looting. The village elder suggested to hire samurais to defeat those bandits to finally live peacefully. Kirara, the main character here (a village girl, of course), sets out along with her little sister, Komachi, and a village man, Richiro (if I'm not mistaken), to look for those samurais. They end up gathering seven of those samurais and go to the village and start teaching the villagers how to fend for themselves and they work together to get rid of the bandits. 
Well, this summary can't get any lousier, but I think it's one of the best ones I've done so far ^_^; My bad ^_^;

Tales of the Abyss in 3D

Hey there guys. This is Candice (again) posting for second time today. I'm trying to make up for the time I haven't been posting because I was very busy. Right now I want to post about a game I had finished playing recently and has to do with a very old post about it. I'm talking about the Tales of the Abyss for the Nintendo 3DS!! ^_^ Well, it is very close to the anime except that it has variations to adapt it with the gameplay system. Its gameplay is exactly the same as the ones from the other Tales of series. Tales of the Abyss also has a version for PlayStation 2 just in case you are interested in this game. It was actually a very good game though I did not think about it that way when I started playing it because I didn't understand a thing. But as I played I came to understand practically everything. I do recommend this game for you to play either for Nintendo 3DS or for PlayStation 2. I don't know anything about the PlayStation 2 version because I don't own a PS 2, but my guess is that they are the same thing maybe except the graphic design and , of course, the 3D thing. I will share the opening movie with you, but I don't own anything (same goes for other things like pictures I like to post) from it so please credit the respective owners please. Thank you and enjoy ^_^ 
P.S.: If you ask about the opening song, it's called Karma and is sung by Bump of Chicken (it's a very good band, in my opinion).


Tharja Figure is Finally Out!!

Hello everyone. This is Candice posting again in a very long time. Sorry I haven't been posting things lately. I've been quite busy over the previous month till now. Alright, I have some news for all those Fire Emblem fans and crazy collectors out there ^_^ Our all-time favorite cursing-people-for-fun dark mage, Tharja, scale figure is now out for pre-order!! However (how I hate these kind of bad news x_x), she is only available in Japan TT^TT Which means that Tharja won't be available in Good Smile online shop nor in stores outside Japan :I  But you can still pre-order her from other sites X)  Well, about "Marth" figma I don't know anything about it yet. Anyways, I'll try to put up more posts to make up for last month ^_^'

Merging Two Worlds for Peace

Hello everyone. ^_^ This is Candice posting in this random blog yet again. Today I want to write about another game-based anime from the Tales series. This time it'll be about none other than Tales of Symphonia!! XD It's based on a game with the same name for the GameCube system. There's also sequels to it as well as for the game (I think it's available for the Nintendo Wii). This anime is totally and absolutely recommendable. I really enjoyed watching it and I couldn't stop watching it until I finished. I think it was totally worth the time watching it. Even if Tales of Symphonia has its sad moments it contains a very beautiful message in it. However, I can't decide on which one is better: Tales of the Abyss or Tales of Symphonia... o_o'
Tales of Symphonia is basically about Lloyd and his friend, Genis, and teacher, Reine (who is Genis's sister), who try to save Colette. Colette was the Chosen One to become an angel to save the world they live in. In order to do so they must travel with Colette and a mercenary, Katos, to the place where she becomes and angel (I don't really remember the name of it o_o). Then after Colette nearly becomes an angel, though she almost loses her being, she must recover her soul in some way. Then they travel to a parallel world. There they meet new friends that try to help Lloyd save Colette and the world without any sacrifices. They all eventually discover all sorts of secrets, especially why the two worlds were split and what were the angels were trying to do with Colette.
Well, sorry for the lousy summary. This story is simply too long to write it in a short way. Just as a mentioned before, I recommend you my dear readers to watch it. I wish to share something with you guys but I couldn't find anything in good conditions, so my apologies to you. Hope you enjoy this anime as much as I did XD

AMNESIA

Hey there guys. This is Candy posting once again in this blog. ^_^  I hope my recent problem with my old account is over. The means I'm posting with a new one. That reminds me that I must tell you not to add anyone with my name or with this address: candy.lai.chau@gmail.com in anything, not even Facebook. +__+ Oh yeah sorry if I didn't come up with a creative title for this post XI

Alright back to the topic. Today I wanted to write about an otome game-based anime from the well-known Idea Factory that came out not so recently this year. The anime I'm going to write about is none other than AMNESIA. To be honest I've never played the game because I don't have a PlayStation 2. I personally think that it was worth to watch it, but I wouldn't say that it was one of my favorites. But let's take into consideration that I'm not used to watching romantic stuff or anything of the sort. I watched it because some friend of mine suggested it. I would still say it's fun to watch and recommendable (highly) especially to those who like romance to say the least.

Alright, AMNESIA is basically about a female protagonist (whose name, ironically, is never mentioned o_o' so let's call her Heroine) who loses her memory while she worked in the cafe as a waitress. She wakes up and sees a spirit called Orion, who helps her out with what to say as the girl lost her memories. Orion can be seen, talked to, and heard only by the main character. The girl's coworker tells her that someone came to pick her up. Then two guys, Shin and Toma, come in to take the girl back to her house, but she does not recognize them as she has amnesia. She and her coworkers - including Shin and Toma and two other guys, Ikky and Ken -  (and the manager) are preparing to go for a trip. Heroine gets what she think is a flashback of Shin telling her that killed a man (well, Shin never mentioned who) and thinks Shin did it. During the trip everyone (the cafe staff) went out at night to watch a meteor shower. Heroine and Shin are left alone and Heroine gets scared enough from Shin to run off from a cliff (accidentally though). She wakes up in a hospital and sees that the date is August 1. Shin tells her that they are actually dating and later on Heroine suffers a car accident. She wakes up in her room and sees that it's still August 1. And that happens with the other guys. Woah, so far she has 4 different boyfriends o_o' Lucky you! Well I won't tell the end 'cuz I'm no good storyteller. Ayways I'll share the first episode with you guys which I don't own. Enjoy XD

Another Hetalia episode

Hey there guys, this is Candy posting again in this blog. Since I don't have much to talk about lately I'll be sharing another Hetalia episode with you guys, you know, to not to make this silence too long and banal. This episode I'm sharing is from the World Series special episodes, if my memory serves me right right now, I hope you are all aware that there is already a fifth season out a long time ago, I think even before I started this blog. I don't won anything from this episode, which means that credit must go to Himaruya Hidekaz (creator of Hetalia) and other people I don't know about. By the way, this one isn't subbed, so I'm totally sorry about it. If you want it subbed, I'm afraid you'll have to look for it somewhere else. Enjoy X)

Spring of Birth

Hey there dear readers, this is Candy posting here once again!! ^_^ This time I'll be posting about another Shin Megami Tensei series update. Recently it has been announced that there will be a film adaptation of Persona 3!! + o + It has been revealed that it'll be aired in Japan this fall. However, I'm not sure if this film will be released in North America, and, if so, when will it be released. Persona 3: Spring of Birth is based on the Persona 3 video game for PlayStation 2 platform. Well, that's all I can tell you about this new movie, but I promise to give out more information as soon as I get them. Anyways, I will share the official trailer with you, which I don't own. Enjoy ^_^

The Last Hope for Mankind

Hey there people from around the world = ^ o ^ = This is Candice posting again in this random blog XD Today I will write about an upcoming game in English version. Well, actually the Japanese version was out a long time ago, but this game will be available in the United States in April 23 and in Europe in April 24. This game is none other than Black Rock Shooter The Game!!! +.+ However, it won't be available in Canada nor in Mexico. It is an RPG game for the PSP platform. 
Since I don't own a PSP (which means I won't be able to play this game - and, therefore, won't really know much of the plot), but at least I sort of know what's about, and  I'll tell you what I know. But if you want a more objective information I suggest you read at other sources. It's basically about an apocalyptic world in the distant future in this same planet. There's an alien invasion lead by an unknown alien, force, or whatever. There's a scientist who work on human cloning, and a famous singer from San Francisco, whose name is Sing Love,  volunteers to be the subject. The first clone was successful but did not reach fully what he expected. She (the clone) is named Nana Gray. The second clone was a total success and reached full expectations. THis second clone was names Stella Gray (code name: Black Rock Shooter). Then both sisters are sent out there to fight the alien invasion. There are a total of 8 bosses that the player must defeat. Then at the end BRS realizes that the final boss (White Rock Shooter - WRS) was none other than the famous singer Sing Love and that she was the original one.
I'll be sharing the trailer for the game, which I don't anything of it. Enjoy XD By the way I'll be sharing the opening theme of the Japanese version too, which I don't own either.

Time Waits For No One

Hello to you my friendly readers! This is Candy posting in this random blog again! ^_^ Today I'll be writing about another movie directed by the famous Mamoru Hosoda! This movie is called The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and is based on a book with the same title written by Yasutaka Tsutsui. This is one of the very few romantic films/series I really liked and enjoyed. I think this movie is worth watching and, as always, I'll be giving you a brief (brief=lousy in my own world) summary of the movie. I highly recommend this movie. It contains funny scenes as well as heart-breaking ones.
Makoto Konno, a high school girl, is the one starring this movie. This movie is basically about this girl who, by accident, gains the ability of time leaping thanks to a tiny device. She realizes that by jumping into dangerous places (e.g.: jumping out from the window, jumping down to a stream, jumping from a very high diving platform, etc.) she can time leap to avoid undesirable outcomes. She time leaps mostly to help her best friends, Chiaki Mamiya and Kosuke Tsuda, getting them up for romantic relationships or avoiding dangerous events. Chiaki confesses his feelings to Makoto but she time leaps to prevent that from happening. Makoto realizes that she had a limited amount of times she could time leap. After successfully helping Kosuke getting him a girlfriend, Kaho Fujitani, (well, actually was the way around), Kosuke borrows Makoto's bicycle. However that bicycle's brakes were failing. Hence, Kosuke and Kaho get run over by a train. Makoto had no time leaps left, but, unexpectedly, she is able to stop time. Then Chiaki appears to her and tells her that he came from the future and that he was also able to time leap, and uses his last one to save Kosuke and Kaho, then vanishes (because he had broken the rule where no one could know about time leaping - something like that). There on, Makoto realizes that avoiding Chiaki's confessions was worthless and fortunately, since Chiaki time leapt, Makoto still had one opportunity to time leap and uses it to get Chiaki back.
Well that's what's basically about. I'll be sharing the trailer, which I don't own anything from it. Hey, almost forgot! Devil Survivor 2 The Animation will be out for Japan on April 4. Enjoy and until next time!! >_<

Online War Wagered in Summer

Hey there guys XO This is Candy posting again XD Today I'm posting about an awesome movie I have recently watched. It was directed by none other than Mamoru Hosoda!!! XD And this movie features an awesome martial arts fighting rabbit. This movie is none other than than Summer Wars XD I totally loved this movie and I highly recommend you to watch it. 
Summer Wars is mainly about an online virtual world called Oz. This story starts out with an eleventh-grader math genius, Kenji Koiso, and his friend Takashi Sakuma hanging out in Oz. Then Natsuki Shinohara comes in into the room where both were in the computer inviting them to participate in her grandmother's 90th birthday. Sakumi was rejected as for Natsuki could only invite one and Kenji was the first one to offer help. When they arrived to Natsuki's family's house  Natsuki introduced Kenji to her grandmother as her fiance (and of course, Kanji was all freaked out but the grandmother did not notice it XP), and later on her entire family was eager to know more about Kenji (of course they think that Kenji is Natsuki's fiance). The next morning, Kenji receives an e-mail with a mathematical code and cracks it. Then he realized that he was featured in the breaking news as a criminal who hacked Oz's security system. The AI (artificial intelligence), Love Machine, took Kenji's avatar to invade Oz and create chaos. The AI defeated the champion of Oz King Kazma, owned by Natsuki's cousin Kazuma Ikezawa. Then then the AI eats up avatars from all over Japan and abroad. Eventually the AI obtains control of a satellite and changes its trajectory to crash it on a nuclear power plant. Eventually, Natsuki's cousin, Wabisuke,confesses that he was the one who designed the AI but he wasn't the one who placed it on Oz. It's up to the Natsuki's family defeat the AI by playing a Japanese card game called koi-koi, and save the world.
Alright, that's only a lousy and low-quality summary. If you want to know the entire plot, then watch the entire movie. Believe me, you won't regret it, and besides being an awesome movie, it contains funny scenes. I'll share the trailer with you. I don't own it by the way.

Fire Emblem Figures!! +o+

Hey there people from around the world. This is Candice posting something random on this random blog x u x This time I'll be posting about something relatively interesting. It'll be interesting for those crazy figurine collectors (I'm one myself even if I can't buy them but I wish to do so). I'm actually talking about yet-to-come Fire Emblem: Awakening figures @.@ I'm going all crazy just to get one of these Fire Emblem figurines. >_<




They are made by the well-known Max Factory! There are going to be (as far as I know) two of these figurines: a scale figure of the cursing-people-for-fun dark mage Tharja and the mysterious sword wielder "Marth" figma. I don't know when are they going to be released, but I'm pretty sure they ARE going to be released. If I find out more about these figures I'm pretty sure I'll be reporting to you XD By the way, I'm killing myself for the "Marth" figma X o X I'll be sharing some pictures showing these figure (I don't own anything so...)

Devil Survivor 2 The Animation

Hey guys, this is Candice posting in this random blog again @u@ Today I will be posting another (yes, another) game-based anime. This one is part of the Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor series. It's none other than Devil Survivor 2 The Animation!! X) It is based on the Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 available for Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS game systems. I don't know much about this new anime because it was announced quite recently (let's say it was announced on March 2, 2013) in Japan, and I haven't played the game yet. Well, according to the teaser it's going to be available on April this year. But if you want to go ahead and know a little about the story-line I can suggest you read the game story-line summary. However, there may be small changes and slight variations in the anime. I think there is also a manga for you to read it. Well, that's all I know about Devil Survivor 2, but if I get some more information about it I'll be sure to be posting about for you. I'm looking forward to watch this anime and play the game. Well then, until next time ^_^ Almost forgot, I will share the anime teaser, which I don't own and don't intend to take credit for it. Therefore, credit goes for the respective owners.

Howl's Moving Castle

   Hey there guys!! ^_^ /   This is Candy posting in these blog once again!! This time I'll be posting about a not-so-new movie. Let's say this movie was released somewhere around 2004 and 2005. This movie was directed by the worldly famous Hayao Miyazaki for none other studio than for Studio Ghibli!!! @o@ This movie is based on a book with the same name written by Diana Wynne Jones. This movie, dear readers, is none other than Howl's Moving Castle!!! ( O v O ) It's totally and absolutely worth watching it. That means that it is highly recommendable. I definitely enjoyed watching Howl's Moving Castle. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much that I had watched it once or twice a week during my last summer vacations.
This movie is basically about a very young woman, Sophie, who meets a mysterious wizard, Howl, on her way to visit her younger sister. On the moment she went back to her house, the Witch of the Wastes (who pursues Howl) and curses Sophie transforming her into an old lady. Then Sophie goes out in a journey finding a way to break the curse. Thanks to a an animated scarecrow Sophie found Howl's moving castle and was able to work there as a cleaning lady. On her way, she meets a lot of friends, including Calcifer, Markl, Heen (a very cute and smart dog), and Howl himself. Calcifer was a demon who held a contract with Howl and Markle was Howl's apprentice. Apparently, Calcifer and Sophie had made a deal, where Sophie would breaek the contract between Calcifer and Howl and Calcifer would free Sophie from the curse. Eventually Sophie discovers that there is war between her hometown and the neighboring kingdom, and realized that Howl would transform into a raven-like bird to interfere with the battle, and if he continued doing so Howl would no longer transform back into a human. While Sophie (and the Witch of the Wastes) was in a meeting with the neighboring kingdom's royalty (who was also pursuing Howl)the Witch of the Wastes was transformed into an old lady (actually back to her real age) and there comes Heen and accompanies Sophie and her friends, including the Witch of the Wastes (who honestly decided to aid Sophie). Well, I'm not great of a story teller so the only way you'll know what really happens in the movie is by watching it yourself. Anyways I'm spoiling it enough for you. I hope you all enjoy the movie as much as i did and do. I'll be sharing the official trailer (which I don't own), and I hope you enjoy it ( + u + )

Don't Hide Your True Persona


Hi guys, this is Candice posting for you readers in this blog @o@ Today I will write about another game-based anime.  It's just one of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. This is none other than Persona 4!!!! O.O I've recently finished watching this anime and I would say it's quite hilarious (so hilarious that I literally fell to the floor laughing) with a very interesting and touching message. It also has very saddening episodes, though. Persona 4 is basically about a high school boy, Yu Narukami , transferring to a new school in a new town, where he will be living with his uncle, Ryotaro Dojima (a police detective), and little cousin, Nanako Dojima. This new town where he will live in is plagued with mysterious murders and kidnaps. Yu and his newly made friends, Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka, and Yukiko Amagi, discover a new world by watching the Midnight Channel and traveling through a television. They realize that this new world in a TV and the Midnight Channel is totally related to those mysterious murders and kidnaps. In this TV world they meet a bear, Kuma (in Japanese version; Teddie in English version), who lives in this world and helps them travel around it. In the TV world they will find Shadows, the suppressed feelings of people, and Yu and his friends must fight them and accept them as part of themselves then they become their Personas. That way they may summon their Personas anytime in the TV world to help them clear obstacles and solve the mysterious cases. Eventually they meet new friends, such as Kanji Tatsumi, Rise Kujikawa, and Naoto Shirogane (aka the Detective Prince), who likewise suffered from suppressing their emotions and, therefore, had gained their Personas by defeating their Shadows; now are all willing to find out who the culprit is. They eventually discover that these victims are taken to the TV world and can be seen on the Midnight Channel. They also discover that the victims had been previously featured in TV shows and news. Well, that's all I'm going to tell you about this anime, because I'm spoiling it enough for you. Now, I'll just tell you that there are two games: Persona 4 Golden (for PlayStation 2) and Persona 4 Arena (for PlayStation 3). Persona 4 Golden is almost the same as the anime but with some differences in the characters (the main protagonist - supposedly Yu Narukami - will receive a name given by the player, and there is another character, Marie, in the Velvet Room) and in the plot, or maybe the outcomes of it ( for example, depending on the actions the player takes the main protagonist may end up in an intimate relationship with any of the female characters - Chie, Yukiko, Rise, or Naoto). Persona 4 Arena is a fighting game. I'll be sharing an episode I consider one of the most hilarious. I will be sharing more of these funny episode later on. I don't own the videos, that means that credit goes to the respective owners. Enjoy ^_^


As a bonus I'm sharing this picture related to the episode shown above





Fate Stay Night =]

Fuyuki City is the setting for a secret and violent war among competing magi. For the past two centuries, seven sorcerers have gathered and engage in a battle royale known as the Holy Grail War, each gambling his or her own life to obtain the Holy Grail, a legendary chalice capable of granting wishes. The seven sorcerers, known as Masters, are aided by seven beings known as Servants, reincarnations of legendary heroes from all time. These resurrected souls possess superhuman characteristics and wield powerful artifacts or abilities called Noble Phantasms, symbols of their heroism during life. Only one Servant can be summoned in each war. The Servants are summoned by the power of the Grail itself and aid their Masters in doing battle, protecting them from harm and killing other Servants or Masters. In return for their aid, the Servants also seek their own wish from the Holy Grail, should their Master become victorious.

Ilya!

Here's my favorite character, Illyasviel von Einzbern, from Fate Stay Night! She is a young aristocrat who travels to Japan to participate in the fifth Holy Grail War as the master of Berserker. Although she looks very cute, she appears to be very manipulating. Ilya  has an angelic appearance and an unsurpassed degree of magical power, seemingly able to control her servant, Berserker, with ease. Ain't she cuteee? ^^

This Game Broke the Most Fragile Feelings in Me

Hi guys! This is Candice posting again!! XD Today I want to share something very awesome with you guys. I am currently playing a game called Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. I have not advanced that much in the game, but so far it's  quite good to play. I mean, it has an excellent plot story and the game mechanics are pretty easy and simple. I would say this game it's highly recommendable. I won't be revealing much about the story, because I don't want to be the spoiler who would spoil the fun out of this awesome game. By the way, Fragile Dream is for Nintendo Wii. This story is basically about a boy, Seto, who is one of the few survivors in the planet after a disastrous and apocalyptic experiment. He is now searching for more survivors and trying to find out about this experiment. In his way he first encounters a silver-haired girl, who then escapes because she got startled when she came in contact with Seto...... Hold on, there goes my loose mouth again. I won't tell you more about it because I'm getting too much of a spoiler. Besides, that's how not-so-far I've gotten = A = Anyways I'll be sharing a video (which I don't own) featuring the opening movie with the opening song. So enjoy it XD

Bad Apple!! XP

What? Bad Apple? Oh, well, just in case, it's not a rotten fruit or anything of that sort. It's just a very sticky song from Touhou Project 3: Lotus Land Story. I will share this song with you guys in both the shadow art version and 3-D animation version. Well, Touhou Project is a very famous shooting game featuring shrine maidens, demons, creatures, etc. from Japanese folklore, legends, tales, etc. in the shape of girls! Well, there are other titles and a lot of fan-made games   of Touhou, so feel free to play them. It's fun. The one I really want to play is Touhou Hisoutensoku, which is more of a fighting game rather than shooting game. I do recommend you to play this game so enjoy the videos, which by the way I don't own.

Hey guys! Imma Tale-teller!!!!!! X3


Hey guys! Guess what, I've just realized I'm an awesome tale-teller!! X3 Who knew!!! :O Nah, wish I were, but I used tale-teller as a mere pun for this new post X) Today I will be posting about another game based on an anime (or is it the way around?). This new game (or anime) is part of the Tales series, and is none other than the Tales of the Abyss!!! XD I've finished watching this anime and the ending broke my harder-than-stone heart TT^TT I'll just give you the general idea or otherwise I would be a total spoiler for those who plan to watch it soon. It's basically about a guy named Luke von Fabre, who is a spoiled brat from high-class society (and acted as one too), traveling around a fictional continent with his friends (Jade, Tear, Anise, Guy, and Ion and the little pet Mew) trying to catch his wrong-doing teacher, Vans (who is also Tear's older brother), who tried to destroy the continent and rebuilding it in order to be free from something that I don't really remember its name but has the same idea as fate (that your actions and other things were meant to happen). However, Vans was doing the right thing, but in the wrong way. So, at the beginning, Luke was very attached to Vans and did anything Vans told Luke to do. Then Tear tells him that Vans was evil and Luke kept on acting as a spoiled brat. But after the destruction of an innocent village (by the way, Luke destroyed it on Van's request - indirectly though) and from then on Luke tried to mend hi character and regain the trust of his friends in order to save the continent. Oh, wait a second... Hold it up, I'm giving up too much information O_O Oh well, if you want to figure out the rest, then watch it yourselves @_@ For those who enjoyed Tales of the Abyss as much as I did, I'll be giving away a bonus X3 It's nothing more than the last episode of Tales of the Abyss (yes this episode is very heart-breaking, besides the other one where one of Luke's friends that traveled all along dies - I won't tell you who was). But for those who haven't watched it or finished watching it, I don't recommend you to watch this video or I would be ruining (or better said, ruining yourselves - because I'm warning you from now) this anime for you. Well, in fact, this entire anime is very heart-breaking though, not just this last episode TTATT Oh, yes and I'm looking forward to play the 3DS video-game, too, and share it with you guys. I don't own this video at all, but anyways enjoy it X3
Haha XD As an extra bonus, here's Luke's >:( sorta face!

Poll Results Are In!!! :o

Hi guys! This is Candice posting here again (and again, and again....) X3 This time I'll be sharing a few things with you, my dear readers. Today is the closing date for my poll :O I did expect the results I saw, but my expectations were not that close to the real results :o However I'm discounting one point from Fire Emblem and one from Pokemon because I voted in my own poll - >.> that makes me a cheater though <.< - and, therefore, they don't count. Anyways, tied in third place with one vote are WarioWare and Kid Icarus. Tied up in second place with two votes are Fire Emblem, Kirby's Dream Land, and Metroid. Now, the most popular Nintendo video games (among you readerse), with three votes each, are: Mario Bros. and sequels, Pokemon, and Legend of Zelda. I did actually expect these results because they are the ones mentioned the most in daily life. Anyways as a bonus I'll be sharing some pictures of each of the most popular games, so enjoy!!!! :D

Happy Chinese New Year!! \^o^/

Hey there dear readers, this is Candy posting again. As a proud Chinese proud of her Chinese culture :) I want to wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year. You may already know this but this year is the Serpent's year! Unofritunately I did not do much to celebrate this holiday TT^TT but I still had fun at home watching the Chinese reports on celebrations in China (shoot, I should learn not to be so redundant =_=') Today I will be sharing some shots on how people celebrated this Chinese New Year. Enjoy XD

Fire Emblem Bonus Today!!! @ o @

Hey there guys, this is Candy posting here (again) + u + Today I will share  some images from the new Fire Emblem: Awakening. And just so you readers know, I am a HUGE fan of Fire Emblem, and I even answered my own poll with Fire Emblem <.< XP As a bonus, I will share a video with you guys. This video is the trailer of the new cross-over Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem RPG game. I know some of you may know about this new Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, but I also know that there are some others who don't. I wonder how will the gameplay be, since Persona series have different game mechanics than Fire Emblem's. This game will be for the Wii-U console. However, I don't know its release date to North America. I don't own the video so credit must go to the respective owners. I've also posted some snapshots from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Enjoy X3

Thirteenth Fire Emblem Released!! :O


Hi everyone! This is Candice posting again X3 This time I will share something interesting and is something I want so badly XD I won't be sharing anything new (it's not new if you already know about it, duh), but it will be new news to many others. I am talking about the new (to some of you) Fire Emblem: Awakening, the thirteenth title of all the Fire Emblem series! XO It was released on February 4, 2013 supposedly along with a 3DS bundle. However, the bundle suffered a delay on the release date due to shipping errors (according to some webpage I have read - I don't remember which one though). That's the only information about the release date I have so far. Anyways, this bundle is totally worth it. It includes the beautiful cobalt blue (i guess that's the name of the color) 3DS with a very cool skin (which has the famed Falchion and two dragons - presumably, in my opinion, Naga and Grima), the pre-installed game, and a 4-GB memory where you can store downloadable content such as downloadable maps and all this for a total of $199.99 ($200 basically). Even if I don't know about the release date I do know you can pre-order it. This is - just like any other Fire Emblem title - a tactical role-playing game. I won't bore you much story-telling you readers about the plot, anyways this also may be considered as a spoiler which goes against my gaming and reading principles. If you want to get spoiled read it from somewhere else, please. The only things I will tell you is that this new Fire Emblem has new features (such as downloadable content); new skills, character,etc.; improved graphics and designs; and many other things. Oh, I forgot to mention that some important characters from previous Fire Emblem titles are making an appearance in Fire Emblem: Awakening as downloadable content or downloadable through SpotPass. Oh, and the one starring the new FE13 is none other than Chrom, descendant of King Marth of Altea and his wife Caeda (Shiida in the Japanese version). By the way, I don't own the following contents so the credit goes to the respective owners (Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, etc.). Enjoy X)

Any Hetalia fans out there?

Hello people from around the world, this is Candice making another post! I have a question for you readers: are you Axis Power Hetalia fans? Well, I'm one myself. Anyways, if you don't have a single idea of what I'm talking about, Hetalia is an anime about world history in a very satirical and funny way. I could not stop laughing at each episode I watched XD Unfortunately each episode is very short. Anyways check this episode out to get an idea of what I'm trying to say. Oh, btw, watching this anime literally improved my social studies grades XD. By the way, I don't own anything of this video so the credit goes for the respective owners.
