Watashi da yo! I thought that it was about time I posted something. So what have I been doing since the last update? Hmm... not much like usual! /laugh
Been watching through Final Fantasy VII Advent Children lots of times. Just can't seem to get bored of it. I don't think I've watched a film so many times before. I hope it gets released over here in the UK (with Japanese audio or I'll be livid). I also got the soundtrack to the film since it's so damn good to listen to. Uematsu Nobuo is a genius. His reworking of the classic FFVII tunes is damned near perfect. He's somehow made them better than they used to be (if that's possible). Aerith's Theme has got to be my favourite. Gets me crying everytime.
Finished watching To Heart ~Remember My Memories~ too in the last few days. Overall I loved watching the series. Not sure if it had as much impact as the original series but it had some special moments of it's own. Horie Yui played Multi as perfectly as ever, and the rest of the original cast returned to play their characters too, so it seemed very familiar from the first episode. This series is definitely worth a watch if you liked the first season.
Right now I've started to watch Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid. Right from the first episode it has me hooked already! /laugh The original cast are all there as far as I can see, including Satsuki Yukino as Chidori, and Tomokazu Seki as Sousuke. I have tremendous respect for these 2 seiyuu and am glad to see them return.
I want to take this opportunity to say Happy Birthday to my good friend, Mike. He's 21 today. Can't believe it really, and I'm sure he can't either. Wasn't so long ago we were still in primary school. How times flies, eh? And since he's turning 21 it means that I'll be the same age soon too. Not sure I can say that I've achieved a lot in those years but there's time yet. Anyway, Happy Birthday old pal.
'Tis all for now I guess. The cursed Hallowe'en is coming up soon (/fume) and then not long after it'll be Christmas. Winter's coming alright. See you there.

Wow.... wow... WOW! I got Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children last night and I've just finished watching it for the third time in under 24 hours. God, that film is so good! The CGI and animation is absolutely sublime. Voice acting is also of top quality, with Ayumi Ito (Tifa) doing a fine job throughout. The story was good enough, but the action sequences are where this film excels. Beautifully choreographed fight sequences and chase sequences are dotted through the film. The music is another noticeable feature. Great, thumping tracks to back the action sequences and calm, magical music when there is a slow scene.
Brilliant film. That's all that needs to be said.
