「Official」Asian Anime, Manga, and Music Lounge

the manga was already far from being the most rational stuff. I didn't even want to try the anime.

I've started Houseki no Kuni and while it has some of the atmosphere I loved in the manga, it's one of those stuff where I don't think the anime brings anything to it. the fighting parts maybe, but everything else feels a little off IMO.
Made in Abyss loses some and wins some when ported to anime, and I kind of like both, but Houseki no Kuni really worked better for me as a manga.

Ah well, hopefully that gives them the chance to fix some manufacturing kinks.


Coppelion ep13: wow, it was as disappointing as it was said to be. Great visuals and good VA performance but lots of plot holes and many things just didn't make sense. What a waste of an interesting premise. The singer who did the Aho Girl OP sang the OP and ED, so that's something I guess...


glad that i didn't even started it

It was in my on-hold list for about 2.5 years so I thought “why not?”.

I heard the Stax L500 recently, I really like the new deeper earpad design because the edge of my ears would always press against the inside mesh and become sore. Sound wise, ehhhh sounds like a lambda, I need more time with it but first impressions are pleasant enough. Now whether or not they're worth $800 dollarydoos....naaahhh I'd take the basic lambda anyway (and maybe mod some deeper eapads or something). Problem is, the basic lambdas are really expensive now... so maybe $800 isn't all that bad?

Haven't watched Fate Apocrypha yet, but I just listened to its second ending
And holy jesus, the song is ridiculously good and the singer just nailed it (She goes by the name of ASCA - a new artist from Sony's Sacra Music, probably from their audition a few months ago). Her voice is so sweet and charming, I'll definitely buy ASCA's singles and album to support her
Here's the song


You can also buy her singles digitally from mora here (Hi-Res): http://mora.jp/package/43000001/4547366339390/ or just buy the CD from Amazon or CDJapan

If there's one thing Sony Music Japan has done right, it's finding young, talented singers

Got a free HP Z820 workstation, a friend's workplace was throwing them out so he just saved it from the landfill, hooray for the environment. =P

Unfortunately it's only configured with a single e5-2620 (hex core 2ghz sandy bridge era), the other socket is empty and the heatsinks are usually very expensive ($100 or so). The nVidia K4000, which is a 75W card similar to the GTX 650 Ti, seems good enough to run divinity at low settings but I'll chuck in a cheap 1060 3GB so it can play more demanding titles with triple the processing power.

Very impressed with the build quality, I love the tool-less case and the ~870W power supply by Delta. Bloody loud though.

I've been listening to the Sailor Moon Music Collection OST by Takanori Arisawa for the past month and what a beautiful soundtrack. I ended ordering the cd from cdjapan. Check it out on YouTube:


I have the HQCD reprint. : D

I use the transformation music as a test track. DR13! : o
