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.

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.
