Due to the earthquakes and consequent disasters in Japan , Anime production was affected.

...and you know what disgusts me? The people's reaction.
Rather than being concerned about the Japanese as a whole , these filthy pieces of -BEEP- asked this : When is the next episode of this particularly Anime released.

People are losing their lives there , death fills the air and all they ask about is this?
I am disgusted and disappointed by these fellow Anime fans , prioritizing Anime over the safety of the people of Japan.
When we should be concerned about their safety as a whole , these people are solely concerned about what affects them and the Mangaka and developers of the Anime industry.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't be concerned about them ( In which most of them are actually safe ) , but shouldn't their concerns broaden to the general population of Japan and not just a few selected individuals?
I mean no offence here , but such behaviour is unsightly. Innocent human lives is worth more than the latest episode of whatever Anime you want to watch and there are tons of people whom seem to be solely concerned about their Anime releases.

Still , I'm glad there are people whom are sincerely concerned about the people of Asia and Japan and for that , I salute you.

.... I believe after being Rickrolled for the 6th time... I've become a fan :o

The song "Never Gonna Give You Up" is literally stuck in my head along with the chorus of Sakuranbo.

... Dang , FourChan is a dangerous place indeed :X

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

*Turns fan boy mode off*

.... Okay , back to business.

Final Fantasy IV : Kain Highwind ( Whew , glad his the new character of IV... Though I wanna use Rosa as well :X )

Final Fantasy V : THE ONE , THE ONLY , THE ALMIGHTILY PATHETIC - GILGAMESH!! ( Right , he was a comic relief in V )

Final Fantasy VII : Tifa Lockheart ( Eh , I was hoping for Zack or Genesis... Oh well )

Final Fantasy VII : Aerith Gainsborough ( Note : She only appears as a support character )

Final Fantasy VIII : Laguna Loire ( I wonder what kind of reaction Squall would have if he meets him? )

Final Fantasy X : Yuna ( Just wondering , how is she supposed to fight as a Summoner? )

Final Fantasy XI : Prishe ( Mmm... )

Final Fantasy XII : Vaan ( Bad move Square , I would've prefered Basch )

Final Fantasy XIII : Lightning ( Cloud and Lightning.... *ahem* )

Dissidia Exclusive : Desperado Chaos ( Seems like Chaos is getting desperate )

Bonus / DLC Content

Warrior of Light had forgotten his helmet!! - Seems like he had forgotten his helmet for one of his costumes...

Aerith the Assistant - Aerith can be used as a support character of sorts

Tifa Alt. Uniform - No comment

Squall KH Uniform - Self-explainatory

Cloud KH Uniform - Self-explainatory

Lightning turns into... Aya? - Aya costume set for Lightning.... *drools*

Cecil goes old school - He'd be wearing his original costume

Zidane and Kuja - Bonus outfits yet to be released

Gameplay Changes
I'm pretty sure there are some major shifts in the gameplay , particularly with the new characters involved in the series.
For one thing , I've heard that Lightning is capable of using the "Role System" as in the FFXIII game and can use the Medic Role to heal her Bravery Points.
... Now that just sounds cheap.
Not to mention that the Destiny Oddyseey have included a World Map system as well as the ability to play characters from Chaos' end , and it seems that the order of characters have jumbled up , seeing that Cloud had somehow ended up in Chaos' team..
*Scratches head*
For some reason , some of the heroes ended up in Chaos' team whilst some of the villains who aren't so much of a villain ended up in Cosmos' team.
I reckon the story is revolved around one of the cycles "before" or "after" the first Dissidia incident.

There is also a support unit system , featuring Aerith as she backs up the player.
... Now , that sounds REALLY CHEAP!

Not sure whether you guys heard , but a 8.9 magnitude earthquake had occured around the northen side of Japan , resulting in a Tsunami in areas like Indonesia and various other Asian countries.

Truth be told , the magnitude of the damage is pretty... large.

Well , regardless , let's pray for the safety and well-being of the survivors in the incident.

Have a moment of silence , clap your hands together and pray , burn some insence or simply pray , whichever suit your ways.

.... Personally , I'm an atheist , but that doesn't really matter in this situation now , does it? :(

.... Don't worry , inside the potato chip package , there isn't a portable television nor is there a piece of paper that can kill others with just a name and a face , nor am I solving equations whilst eating my potato chips.

Anyways , I've played Borderland earlier this week and well , my pals and I fought Crawmerax without the usage of mod weapons for the twentieth ( Was it twenty times? Or was it fifty? I lost count ) and whilst our pockets were bulging with gold , not a single Pearlescent weapon can be found.

... I feel like weeping.

Then in BlazBlue : Continum Shift , I've got my arse kicked since I haven't touched fighters in a long time.

... Then I've lost a battle in Fate/Extra...

Then I've realised I've downloaded the wrong content from PSN for Neptunia...

... And I got my arse kicked when I've tried replaying Demon's Souls and Resonance of Fate :o

Not to mention I've got shouted at and got my knees deep into trouble because of a domino effect of misunderstandings which I can't really clear up by my own means.

Man , this week sucks. :X
... Or should I say , this year REALLY sucks :o

Well , I'm pretty sure the Anime buds here are aware of the Anime , Freezing which was pretty much nothing more but fan service , but the Manga have a different tale to tell.

The story is generally more indepth , but the selling point of it is not the storyline , which is not really that good in the sense that it bears a unique concept but the morality concept of the Manga itself.
Why , just about every girl in this Manga have a short-temper and is more than ready to kill , it's surprisingly disturbing to see what these girls are capable of achieving. It's almost like having a Yandere for every few chapters or something.

What I also do enjoy is the miniature tale the story bears for various characters , building on their foundations and the strength of their character by giving them a pretty tragic past.
Even the heroine , Satellete herself had some pretty bad memories to think back to.

Despite being a generally disturbing and dark Manga with indications of torture and madness contents , it does provide an occasional breather , such as when Stella gets all flustered when the MC gets near her. It's kinda funny how she mind goes blank and starts walking like a machine when she gets too embarassed for words.

Generally speaking , it's preferable to read the Manga instead. It had , for one , totally changed my view of the series as a whole. Still , I reckon I'd watch the Anime once I'm done with the Manga.

Here's another link

Please excuse me as I watch this for the 1001th time and sob my manly tears outta my eyes as I am unable to play this because of the language barrier issue.

:cry:

It's so beautiful that I feel like crying... since I can't buy it since I don't understand a word in this game :cry:
( There's one sold in a retail store but... it's all in Japanese and all =.= )

The CGs ... the animated character sprites ... the beautiful snowy scenery ... the animated scenes ... the unique heroines ... the sharp details and textures... Man , now I really feel like crying... I'm moved by the amount of effort implemented in reviving the White Album series :cry:

Here's the video :cry:

Trailer

Now I really wish I'm borned in Japan.

UWAAHHHH :cry:

Here's what I voted for... though I kinda doubt it'll show up properly , I've never been good with the linking thing...
Oh well.

Well , Bill 156 is essentially the permanent ban of Anime and Manga considered "inappropriate" for the youths of Japan.

I'm probably gonna repeat myself again , but the ban includes the following

"Hentai" - ( Essentially , Anime corn )

"Loli Anime" - ( Characters who are , or shares resemblance to children )

"BL Anime" - ( Boy's Love , you should know what that means , it's VERY , VERY popular with the girls )

"Yuri Anime" - ( Like the above , but it's about girls for guys )

"Ecchi" - ( Anime which features lots of... fan service )

"School Anime" - ( Apparently , "children" are deluding themselves with fantasies of non-existent characters.. )

"Guro" - ( I don't really wanna explain what this is )

"Anything inappropriate , really" - ( Your imagination and knowledge ought to take care of it )

The Claim of the Reason of the Origins of the Bill

Bill 156 was passed as the government was worried about the youths of Japan , particularly those who call , or is dubbed by society as "Otaku" were getting misled by Anime.
Such as the infatuation or the desires they feel towards something non-existent , deluding themselves in a fantasy whilst taking little notice of reality.
So all in all , it's pretty much a social problem for Japan... From the government's point of view anyway.

"Retaliation"
Actual Otakus and Doujin Mangakas aren't actually taking in any form of significant action against the bill.
It is mainly those of official companies and it's affliated Mangakas and developers whom are actually the ones making any noise in Japan at all.
However , it is obvious that the polititians give little notice to Otakus and their words were literally ignored regardless of their attempt to change the minds of those in the government service.
Currently , those "protestants" in Japan are rallying readers and consumers alike in their movement against the Bill 156 which had yet to be taken into reality.
So people , it's time to GO TO WAR!!!
Well , verbally anyway , we'd just need to rally up and show our unhappiness against the bill.

Doujin
There was actually a Manga released on the Bill itself and it's pretty informative as it talks about the Bill from the developer's view and the actions they had taken , but were foiled by the government themselves.
Well , it's generally a joke Manga , but it generally wants to rally the support of Otakus across the globe and something about the "youth being the frontline" against the Bill itself , I suppose that's true , it'll be better if we all did something about it.

What I intend to do :3
I wanna form a group to rally the English-speaking Otakus against the Bill itself.
But the thing is , I don't know how to get started nor get into contact with these Japanese developers who are actually the ones who proposed the rally of Otakus against the Bill.
I mean , as the saying goes "weak as we are divided , strong as we are united" , there's little point if we form groups left , right and centre whilst having no ability to communicate with each other.

Doubtful Bill
The Bill might not even be passed at all... I mean , Japan's economy isn't exactly a sight to look at right now and Anime is a pretty good income for Japan as well.
What's more , quite a few Hentai and Anime companies are still releasing content which are supposedly to be banned provided that the Bill does take place.
According to Sankaku Complex , even after the declaration of the Bill , some companies are still rolling out their products as usual , though some cautious companies have entirely scrapped off what they had intended to do before the Bill was mentioned.
