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? ^^

D Gray Man! :o

Just wanted to share Allen playing the piano! I don't own anything so all credits go for the respective owner! Enjoy :]

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
