  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Shows You Should’ve Watched

    Buffy - Chose One CollectionI always thought Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a popular show, but apparently is not very cool to say you like Buffy. But I disagree. I respect people who have watched the show and don’t particularly like it, but the most uncool of the uncool people are the ones who think are TOO COOL to watch or like a show like Buffy.

    I’m one of those people who grew up watching Buffy… something that my writing teacher thought was nifty. The fact is that I was like 11 when I remember watching an episode of Buffy… and I have been a fan ever since. Am now 22, so have been a Buffy (and Whedon fan) for half my life. Le GASP!

    I’ve seen the episodes so many times, that even my mom (who despises Fantasy and Sci-Fi) has seen repeat episodes of Buffy. Once, while watching a re-run on Canal Fox, my mom told me “Haven’t you watched this episode before? I know I have seen it at least 3 times… so by now you must know all the lines.”

    The fact is that growing up watching Buffy shaped who I am today (I am most certainly sure about that). Being an impressionable 11-year-old with a knack for martial arts (am a fan of Bruce Lee), I thought Buffy kicked major ASS.

    So it was so easy for me to watch Buffy… with a combination of ass-kicking, supernatural, and teenager-ness that gave a great transition of viewing habits between my pre-teen and teen years. It does help a lot as a young adult to know that Buffy was metaphorical (but you don’t really know what a metaphor means when you’re 12… do you?). So for those of you who don’t know… What the EFF is Buffy about?

  • Camouflage – Aoi Yu x Yottsu no Uso

    Almost a month ago, I blogged PRICEY! xD OMG, has it been almost a month already?? A month of pricey-ness~~~ which includes Photobooks. Which includes me buying those photobooks. Yes, those 3 photobooks (except for Travel Sand) are in PROCESSING status on YesAsia.com – And I’m hoping that I don’t get an email saying they can’t find the Rhythmedia Photobook entitled Dandelion, because that one already shows up as OUT OF STOCK. But it wasn’t out of stock when I placed my order, so there you go~~ I also bought Travel Sand from another store, but I won’t post where until I complete my order successfully. xD

    Anyway, July 16th is coming soon. That’s the day when Aoi Yu x 4 Lies CAMOUFLAGE weird thingy series comes out. I like weird, and I like artsy fartsy~ and apparently the show wasn’t so popular, but people IT WAS GOOD. But it’s not for the masses… le sigh. Will my Yu sacrifice the artsy for commercial? I don’t want her to stop doing projects like Camouflage just because they don’t sell. So AM wondering… should I buy or should I not?? If there weren’t language and region issues, I would so totally buy. BUT there’s such thing as language and regions… Right now, it’s only being released as a Region 2 DVD (Japan, Asia, etc etc) and there are no subtitles listed. In the day of multi-region DVD players, I could overlook the region… but I can’t overlook the lack of English subtitles.

    So if you’re Japanese… or are able to watch the show sans-subs because you know Japanese… AND you liked the series, I suggest buying. I can only hope to either learn Japanese fast enough (ha!), or that a version with English subs comes available soon. Here’s the link to YesAsia.com:

  • Buffy Tarot Cards Cancelled!

    EFF! I say~~~

    I was REALLY looking forward to buying the Buffy Tarot Cards Deck! I even created an account with TFAW.com just to find out they didn’t ship to Peru, so my friend was gonna buy it for me.

    Sucky! I don’t even read tarot, lol… but the deck was a must-have because it was so awfully pretty!! [see, because me buy awfully pretty stuff, LOL] – Anyway, my friend was ordering for me, so I thought it was a sure thing~~~ until I check up on the link just to find a notice!

    THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Official word from Dark Horse:

    “Due to circumstances beyond our control, Dark Horse will not be producing the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Tarot Deck. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but no existing orders will be filled. We appreciate your support of this program, and again apologize to those who placed advance orders and to fans alike.”

    When did that show up? I don’t know. But I demand a proper explanation!! LOL’

    Say~~~ what if DH releases the artwork on high quality printable digital files!?? It’ll be good to have, and it will be such a waste of prettyness if it’s just discarded~~~ And I’m sure many will still buy the deck, if they EVER decide to publish a print version. I know I would~~ My printing abilities wouldn’t compare to the quality printing they would offer…. most likely. Non?

  • Iron Chef – Canal Sony Rant

    *Fuming*

    I blogged this maybe… two weeks ago? Can’t bother to figure out while ranting. (more…)

  • Viewers Against Only-Dubbed Films!

    I am NOT against dubbing… I have read that some people with viewing difficulties prefer watching dubbed films, and I respect that. This is why I’m titling this “Only-Dubbed,” I don’t have a problem with dubbing a movie, but what bothers me is not having the option of watching the subtitled version of it.

    Case and point, (more…)

  • Last Friends Lightroom!

    *Swoons* More lightroom testing. I played around with 3 different types of photos, some captures from the intro in nifty Black & White, nifty in character photos, and cool photos of the actors not in character.

    Last Friends – Intro in Black & White
    Last Friends – In Character
    Last Friends – Out of Character

  • The Ellen Show Finally in Latin America!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwzbNSJ8On4

    Yup, finally as well. It already began showing, but you wouldn’t believe how freaky was to find out it was showing. It was a regular day in the evening when I suddenly thought to myself that I missed watching The Ellen Show because, well… no one broadcasted the show (until now), so I missed watching it from time to time. So maybe I thought of sending a message through her website complainig about it, ha! One minute later (literally), I saw the commercial that it was gonna begin broadcasting.

    The Ellen Show is showing from Monday to Friday at 5 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time) on Warner Channel (Channel 16 Cable Magico). I leave you with some Ellen Spanish Funny. The Spanish classes did sure pay up!

  • Iron Chef Comes to Latin America!

    When I was in Canada, one of my favorite programs on the Food Network was Iron Chef. Not the American version, I don’t care for the American version… but the Japanese!!

    Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you what you are.

    Funnyness ensued when they used REALLY bad dubbing for it. “Unh… Fukui-san” xD

    I wanted to let you all know that the show will be broadcasting in Sony Entertainment Television (15 Cable Magico) on Saturdays at 8 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time).

  • Fart Exercise with Juri Ueno and Nodame!

    Hahaha, the reason we love Nodame Cantabile is because Juri Ueno as lovable Nodame. Now, if you don’t know the series, you will still love this behind the scene of Juri Ueno singing Nodame’s Fart Exercise song.

    It turns out that the song was so popular, Juri recorded a small album with kids songs. You can find the lyrics in Japanese, Romaji and English translation of the funnyness in here. (also includes imeem link)
