Calling all lineage players... posted by Ishatar on 05-05-2008 15:50

One of the most randomest request ever!!! But could all lineage players who drift pass this site, please look out for "SJABBIE" and tell him to get himself back on IRC? Thanks and love you all too~

Also, those who have yet to marvel at the wonder that Detective Conan is should no longer restrain themselves but go and watch it!!!! And of course, we musn't forget Chi, <3~ Chi!!!!!!!

And so now we all know, there are 5, yet we've only seen 3 so far... and is it my imagination or does everyone seem so evil lately in all these shows... maybe good guys are out of favor and bad guys are in...

Just a huge note to avoid further confusion (although I bet most of you won't see this note in advance)

Kinjutsusho = Writings of the forbidden art (i.e. a scroll/ book about said art)
Kinjutsu = Forbidden art.

It's like the difference between playing tennis and reading a book about tennis... NOT the same thing!!!

and those two translations notes we couldn't fit in :( A tiny history lesson for you all:

*The Sengoku era (15th-17th century) was known as the "Warring States" period, and was a period of social unrest, political intrigue, and constant military action in Japan. (for more info, wiki is your friend)

*The Meiji Restoration spanned the Edo era and the beginning of the Meiji era, around the latter half of the 19th century. It was a series of events that led to major changes to Japan's social and political systems. (again, wiki is your friend)

Have fun~

Chi is sooo cute~ posted by Ishatar on 05-02-2008 15:26

Sooo~ I hope everyone likes the new banner

Thanks to Maxwellsdemon for making the new banner for us!!! Chi is soo kawaii especially the mass release of Chi we just had from Yoroshiku <3~

Anyway, has anyone ever told you that too much jumping around is bad for you?! Well, if they haven't! Someone should!! I mean, you don't know where you're jumping... and what's with these new fangled weapons ppl have?!!!!! I mean, they look so innocent and suddenly... SURPRISE!!

Oh and if anyone can tell me where Vash the stampede came from, I shall be much obliged~

Oh, and what's with the coat and hat? It's not exactly cold!!!!!

Wahhhh kawai!!!! posted by Ishatar on 04-28-2008 16:02

Chibi things are so kawai!! Which brings me to the subject of Chi? Has anyone seen Chi?!!! It's like the best series of the season, never mind Code geass R2 or er... what else is supposed to be popular? Erm... Souleater, Real Drive?! Well, forgot about them, and just watch Chi!!!! I love all @ Yoroshiku for bringing me the greatness that is Chi!!!!! <3~ x inifinite.

Oh, and on the subject of kawai, anyone watched Shugo Chara?! Pink and fluffyness and just another great series to watch for this season. Yes, I <3~ you too Formula subs !!!

Oh, and has anyone noticed that small chibi things are like so adorable? Everyone looks so adorable when they're small, even if they have cheeky grins, you can't just help love them!

Btw: Practice makes perfect, but if you suck at suturing, then there really is no hope for you, you just have to practice more...

Take care of high walls, we wouldn't want to fall down now, would we? And really, people should stop trying to take shortcuts... it's always more hassle than it's worth...

Finally, don't forget to grab your veggies for the new fashion. Coming soon to a store near you, the art of veggie dressing!!!!

Erk... sleepy... so sleepy... don't we all love the snow?

Flawless ppl... posted by animorc on 04-28-2008 11:17
Flawless people, do they really exist? Well, I was going to say robots are pretty much flawless but apparently that's not true either.... so we come to the conclusion there's no such thing as a flawless anything! Owing to complete randomness, can anyway recall "The Secret Garden"? Such a great classic, I think you should all go and read it!!!!! read more... tell a friend \| comments: 1

Baseball dogs... posted by Ishatar on 04-20-2008 16:10

I wasn't quite sure what Baseball dogs are supposed to be... so if anyone does know, could you please enlighten me? I think maybe he meant I like to play baseball with my dogs, but he omitted a few key words during his lesson :(

I was so tempted to correct, but I was told I wasn't allowed to :(
See how mean everyone is? I was allowed to correct the name of the town, despite the station sign being wrong, so I suppose they're not entirely mean to me... I mean, they could have not allowed me to correct that either, right?

Btw: does anyone else think there's a scene in this eppie which kinda reminds you of Sousuke's intro in Full metal Panic? Someone remarked it reminded them of it... Let me know if you can guess which scene I mean

The unfairness of it all!!! posted by Ishatar on 04-16-2008 17:29

So... I'm going to rant a little here cos I think it's highly unfair!!! Guess you'll all need a little background info first...

So as probably everyone who reads the site knows, we're doing Nabari no ou, however much to my bemusement, I'm the only person in the entire of Animanda staff (and probably in the world- RAWR!!!!

who doesn't get proper kanji appearing :(((. I see squares!!! It's so unfair, especially since I added them in the first place :((( but as I've been told (random convs in the staff chan and so forth):

<Ishie> kanji in the main script is missing for nabari
<Galdamez951> i see it
<Galdamez951> >.>
* Ishie doesn't
<Ishie> :(
<ani> I see them too
<Ishie> :((((
* Ishie doesn't
<Ishie> !!!
<Ishie> i'm not lying
<Ishie> T______________________________________T
<LGDArm> yeah, i see them
<ani> do you see the kanji in the himitsu karaoke?
<Ishie> yes

A while later after various tries...

<Ishie> and it's still squares in aegis sub
* Ishie sits and sulks
<Galdamez951> then yeah, you're one of the few poor saps who'll have to deal with it
<Galdamez951> :p
<Ishie> ....

A bit later...

<ani> try adding {\fnbleh} to the beginning of the line
<Ishie> or font!
<Galdamez951> then yeah, you're screwed Ishie

(at this point I'd like to add, I'm useless at things... so...)

<Galdamez951> xDDD
* Galdamez951 can't believe Ishie actually did it
<Ishie> not true!!!!
* Ishie removes
<Ishie> >.<
<Ishie> ani's making fun?
<Ishie> !!!
* Ishie cries
<ani> >.> was just a way to see if it's the font

So you see? My woe!! It's unfair!!!!

Oh, yeah... I forgot about the main point of the post >.>

So we wanted to try and avoid oversubbing this season, so we dropped VK after hearing 6 or more groups we're subbing and plumped for Nabari no ou (although that' starting to look oversubbed ^^;

and Himitsu the Revelation~

Nabari no ou: Interesting, ninja, blah.. blah... we're keeping all techniques what's not in romanji cos the english translations are really, really bad (but we did leave tl notes

). You get a pretty karaoke because it's hardsubbed (for those who care, which is not us)

Himitsu: Lots of brains involved. I'm still not sure whether this is supposed to be so funny, but some of the lines in here are just "hahaha, did you really say that?!!!". For those who want pretty karas, tough luck, we're trying something new here ^__________^

Soft subbed karas, so very simply styled, I've been informed ppl don't care for fancy karas, and usually want them switched off, so we gave it a whirl. (Hey, at least you stilll have kara)... Oh, I do have to say sorry to ppl who like VLC players I guess? So er sorry? Try using another player ^_________^

Any encoding problems, go poke the encoders, as one can see... I have no clue....

Enjoy~

Happy April's Fools! posted by Ishatar on 04-01-2008 11:54
Happy April's fools! tell a friend \| comments: 14

Oh... my... is this the end of what we know?!!! posted by Ishatar on 02-28-2008 15:52

And soooo... after an entire 2 years plus perhaps or slightly less than 2 years... (and here I was hoping to break a record), the end is in sight, or should I say sighted?

So, let me ask you some questions...

Has anyone tried the famous brand of penguin drinks?

How does one connect to the internet if the phone lines don't work? Magic?

And, what does one really like in life? Pony tails?

Anyway, enjoy and wave goodbye... I'm actually feeling pretty sad right now.... Life will never be the same again *sniffles*

Oh, and more randomly, someone asked me to say "BEEF" so er "BEEF!"

All rise... posted by Ishatar on 02-15-2008 13:15
All rise up... Let's all have a serious discussion on the state of affairs that has already passed... after all rules must be obeyed at all times (that is when it doesn't affect me personally, if it does.... well, what can I say but special people get special rules ) Anyway, this is clearly a sign... yes, have you guessed it yet? Enjoy Saiunkoku 08~ tell a friend \| comments: 4

Anyone fancy meat this week for dinner? posted by Ishatar on 02-13-2008 17:16

Roll up, roll up.... who wants some lessons in the art of persuasion?

Thrown in for extras are some tasty yummy worms and some free guide books!!

Okay... I admit it... inspiration was lost and the kitchen decided everyone, yes everyone is eating meat for a long time!!!

There's a free lesson in how to use a knife too...

Okay enough of randomness... you must have all guessed, no? If you haven't... well, try harder....

Fine, fine... for your viewing pleasure... in combination with our kind friends at C1 (<3)

Saiunkoku 07~

Btw: Have a fantastic Valentine's day!!!
