Ewe must see this (Sorry, baaad Sheep Joke)

Straight from the Shaun the Sheep's official website, comes a selection of some very nice video clips from the show and here's my comments from my favourite little sheep from the Wallace and Gromit series (BE WARNED: Because I uploaded all of the six clips from the official website, you might need to pause the videoes and choose one of them for your viewing pleasures):



In response to the news that involves an eight year old kid who is so obese, this is what the authority should handle. And it's pretty funny too.



XD I felt so sorry for the duck when it dived down to the sheep dip. Just love the glass tipping SFX.



XD If you're a football fan, you should know this. Or not.



Aaaw! is what I can describe about this cute little lamb. So kawaii~! That farmer bastard should be in Hell for taking his teddy bear away.



The same can be said for the pigs.



And this is where Shaun get his artistic with his drawing and painting, though is it me or is the picture looks like John Constable one?

Oh man! I can't wait to see the first episode on Monday, though that means I have to get off my arse in the Art Studio and run down to my room, as the program starts at 3:45 pm. >_<

Quote of the Moment - "Baa." - Er, random sheep noise.

Insert Monty Pyhton Joke

Oh yeah! There's going to be a Life of Brian Musical soon!

After watching the Monty Python movie twice (one on rented DVD and the other on New Year's Day with my lil sis), I can't wait to see if that 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' bit is still intact and let's face it, it wouldn't be a complete Life of Brian without it. That, or the now-infamous line of 'He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy'.

As for what I'm going to do for my art project, hmm, well after seeing some rather grim pictures of wooden warp sculptures and stuff, I think I'm going for the Yotsuba&! path and blend it with some art satire where I take the piss out of my Level 0 art and design teacher. Heehee, that'll teach her when it comes to observation and declare it as art.

Quote of the Moment - "Be careful. Each word is a hundred hooks, a thousand meanings and ten thousand lies." - Urataros (Smexy-Glasses-possessed-Ryoutarou) from Kamen Rider Den-O; probably the best quote for ages IMO, since Godot from Gyakuten Saiban 3 (aka Phoenix Wright: Ace Attonery) came up with the coolest lines.

Vampires and Pancakes

Just watched Black Blood Brothers last night and safely to say, that has a damn good, if short, anime series! I just love the relationship between the vampire Jirou (who is a bit like Arucard or whatever from Hellsing, only replacing his personality with the mild-mannered approach) and the Compromiser, Mimiko. They're make a great couple when I see those two together and I laughed when they tend to do the wrong things, plus they act like Rosette and Chrno from Chrno Crusade (best couple in the manga, IMO) in terms of relationships.

And also, there's Jirou's younger brother, Kotarou; at first I found him to be very irritating and annoying in the first episode, but then later, I discovered his identity and past and I suddenly like him as a cute boy. And no, I'm not going to tell you the whoke story, so click on the link that says 'Black Blood Brothers' and do your own research.

Urgh, I feel like I want to do some pancakes tonight, but I can't, because I have to wait for my friends, coming back from lectures and such, to bring on the stuff and eat some lovely pancakes! Urgh...Must...wait...longer...

Quote of the Moment - " re-posed my Faiz SIC. He looks badass, and I love him." - Some female Kamen Rider fan talking about reposing her Faiz SIC for either a more Kingdom Hearts pose or the famous 'Sephiroth' pose without the riduculously long Masamune.

Why did I imagine that Ryutaros and Jan make Great Friends

Argh! I can't get my imagination out of my head, but seriously. I think that Ryutaros, a.k.a that purple Gun Form Ryo (when in Ryotaro-possessed mode) from Kamen Rider Den-O and Jan Kando from Jūken Sentai Gekiranger would make great friends (well, Momotaros was the alternative choice, but even this punk Imagin wasn't as crazy as Ryutaros), because:

  • Both of them really have a mind of a mischevious child, who wanted nothing, but shear mischief and fun to the environment they live in.
  • They're both difficult to control themselves down and both giving the main cast of Den-O and Gekiranger a hard time to deal with.
The only difference I can think of is their appearances, but that's about it. And if both of them should meet each other up and hang out together, this is my imaginative scenario...

Ryutaros: Hey Jan, wanna hang out with me and have some 'fun'?
Jan: *Nods head very cheerfully with a devil's smile on his face and speaks in a 'Jan' language ir whatever*
Ryutaros: All right! Let's dump this place!

*Several minutes later and Tokyo becomes from a clean city, to one hell mess of a place, where lots of Rinseries, some famous previous Kamen Rider Kaijins are running amok, with buildings on fire, people running and screaming all over the place and with the main cast members' faces from Den-O and Gekiranger varied from Hana's mouth wide open in shock to Ran and Retsu's expressions to shear horror.*

Ryutaros: *Laughs like a complete idiot*
That was fun, wasn't it, Jan?
Jan: *Grins very happily*

*Then the main cast of Den-O and Gekiranger appeared from behind them...*

Everyone (including Ryotaro's voice, whose body is currently possessed by Ryutaros): NO, WE'RE NOT! YOU'VE RUINED TOKYO FOR JUST SHEER FUN!

And that's about it. XD I so want to see this as a good crossover bit, like the one in Kamen Rider Kabuto/Boukenger bit, where BoukenRed enters into the cafe in Kabuto with Tendou and let the hilarious interaction take place. And I'll say one more time: if Jan from Gekiranger was asked on what his best friend other than a panda is, it would have to be Ryutaros from Kamen Rider Den-O. The chemistry between the two in terms of friendship would be hilarious and horrifying, depending on the characters' view, as well as the fans.

Quote of the Moment - "
He was scouted by Scratch because he personifies the "Body" ( Tai?) of a Gekiranger: he can be pinned against the ground by a big log with no harm at all." - Gekiranger's Wikipedia entry on Jan. At least, unless someone changes it...

No Reason at All

Being bored during the morning to this evening (and going back to Manchester for the VIETNAMESE New Year (also known as Tet) this weekend, I decided to put a few pictures of my room (now organised) in the Halls.


Here's the sink, with my portable easel now placed in a nice corner, since my mate's boyfriend placed the other bed some where...My bed with some plain, but cool duvet, along with a couple of plushies, a Fruits Basket calender, my pyjamas, pieces of 'The Guardian' newspapers and a pair of socksYeah, the shelves are still messy as ever, but at least the desk below is pretty clean now. And don't ask about my dinner...

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to finish my dinner...

Quote of the Moment - "You've got to be able to break the wall..." - Nicolas Cage talking about his life of whatever in the Film & Music section in Friday's Guardian.

Maybe Teaming Up Might Be a Bad Thing After All

I don't know, if my head's going a bit crazy or something, but for some reason, I had this dream where I was in the Denliner (though in the Cafe carriage part, where Naomi serves coffee), feeling a bit blue, until I saw Jan (a.k.a GekiRed) from GekiRanger having a nice chat with...Ryutaros in Ryo-possessed mode (a.k.a. that purple crazy and somehow artistic bloke) from Kamen Rider Den-O and that Green Emo Ranger from Mighty Moshin' Emo Rangers. Only, it wasn't such a nice chat, but these three crazy, but cool blokes were on high on crack and then causing not only in the Denliner, but somewhere in Japan and England too. O_O' Er, yeah. I always imagine those three would somehow team up and instead of saving the world, they causing mass destruction to the buildings while fighting monsters and then shock (and horrify) the remaing cast from the three series (okay, the MMERs are not really bothered about it, but come on) when finding out after slashing monsters and saving the world, they actually find these three smoking crack and weed in one room. Hmm, I would like to see this, but I doubt it...

Quote of the Moment - "Momotaros!?" - Er, Momotaros from Kamen Rider Den-O, when Ryoutarou Nogami poorly names this punk Imagin.

And Yes, He gets to Keep his Kanshu hair

Dammit! I knew I shouldn't skip chapter 17 on the World Embryo raw, but since that guy's forgot to add some seeds in the torrent, the only completed file that I can read is chapter 18 and there's a bit of a spoiler, but yes...

For fans waiting to see if Riku's hair has changed, since he got his weapon from his, uh 'dead friend', he still manages to keep his lovely (and sometimes sexy) Kanshu hair. And because of that, I made an icon for my blog (oh man! Sexy Kanshu boy + With his Smexy Glasses on = FULL DROOLAGE CONTROL XD). And if you want to see a sneak preview of tha manga chapter that I just found, just bear with me for a second.

EDIT - I manage to upload one of the pages of the World Embryo scans, but this is a minor spoiler to those who are too late to get the scanlations of the previous 16 chapters, so here it is and click the image for the full page of seeing Kanshu Boy again:

You can stop worrying about the hair issue now. Even when summoning his Jinki weapon, Riku can keep his Kanshu hair whether he's aware or not.



Quote of the Moment - "I just hope that Harry Potter dies in the last book..." - My younger sister, who is not much of a Harry Potter fan, wants everybody's favourite wizard to die. Blame her, not me!

Tatsu no Ko Tarou and the Train

You're wondering why the two items above the titles have some kind of connections to the article that I'm talking. Well, uh...this is kind of awkward, but apparently, the Gun Form of Kamen Rider Den-O from this titular show is based on the dragon from the same anime movie (to which it's based from the novel or from some kind of Japanese fables that someone either forgot to research the missing fables or are actually too lazy to gather their brain cells moving) that I've mentioned. And what was really ironic about these two shows (or alternatively the movie and the long running franchise) are that they are both produced by the same company: Toei (which would explain why there is a Toei Animation company, as well as the Live Action company) . Well, okay, Kamen Rider wasn't animated in a typical anime kind of way like Tatsu no Ko Tarou (or Tarou the Dragon Boy), nor that TnKT wasn't made into live action kind of way, but I wonder why the Den-O people in Wikipedia are still arguing about the Forms (one minute someone said their Forms was based on Chinese constellations, the next they were based on the Japanese Mythological Heroes). Can't they just stick to on the final decision they've made (and I'm looking at the World Embryo Wiki people too, since I'm dying to know what the heck is going on after chapter 16 and whether or not Takao is an ally or not)?

And if you don't believe me that Tatsu no Ko Tarou (a Toei animated film apparently) is going to be a trivial point in the Kamen Rider Den-O Wiki page (and hopefully, they're not going to change it, as I'm sick and tired of having the pages changed so many times), then why not go to these webpages below, if you'r really curious about it:

ANN's Info about Tatsu no Ko Tarou (aka Tarou the Dragon boy)
Some interesting articles about Tatsu no Ko Tarou and the long lost anime films
Some site with the Tatsu no Ko Tarou pics made by Toei (ironically)

P.S. Come to think of it, the dragon from the Tatsunoko Tarou film really reminded me of Haru in his dragon form from Spirited Away X3.

Quote of the Moment - "Also, side note, stop adding pointless information, dumb shit, and otherwise irrelevant information. I've finally cleaned the article up, don't screw it up again. Add information thats actually about Den'ou." - One of the Den-O Wikipeople who is fed up with people changing the Kamen Rider Den-O article back and forth.
