Anime

Well, I kinda decided to give Shonen Yakudan a chance. Mostly because, well, I've never heard of them before. So, all of the sudden, my reason for not downloading their version became my reason for downloading their version after all. Ah, life. Nyahaha. Oh, that and that I wasn't downloading anything at that time except the unseeded and consequentially super slow 1 Rittoru no Namida episode 3. Hm. I guess the second reason was quite weighty too.... Well, no matter, that's not supposed to be the topic of this post.

Shonen Yakudan wasn't bad at all. They did a lower resolution, but it seemed video quality was okay. The translation was also okay, even better, I think, at some parts than the other groups. And also worse at other parts ("like-minded" o_O). I mean, so "doukokai", according to JWPCE, means "association of like-minded people", but... that translation was just.. er.. wrong. They could've just used association or organization or something. Although I have no idea how this word is used, I take it this means that the association is like.. not part of school? Oh well. That doesn't matter now. But they didn't translate the techniques and stuff, which was to my liking. Yay. The color was similar to Aone-Conclave's. I want to take screens, but I really need the space right now. I'm deleting the ep as soon as I'm done with this entry. Which would be soon... Hehe. They're a lot slower than the others. If they had HD versions though, maybe I would've picked them... Who knows? All things considered though, I would have to say all the groups are almost on the same level, according to me.
Sooo... That's that.
Oh, apparently, there were other groups subbing this that I didn't know of. Well, I already knew that that would be the case, but well, I didn't think I'd come across the information? Or something. Actually, I wasn't even trying to find out who else was subbing this anime. I don't even remember what I was searching for, I just suddenly saw the link and~ oooh~ where does this link lead to?~~~
So, I clicked:

Hmm.. Now I don't remember what else I was supposed to talk about in this post.
Oh, now I remember!
I always knew about online radio stations, but I never really paid attention to them, mostly because before summer, my connection was either pathetic dial-up or school WLAN/LAN which presented a lot of problems (The problems involved not only the connection, but also the environment--both living and nonliving components of it. Me = not*being*(annoyed+bitter)+here). So, I just realized what a great way online radio stations are to prevent idle bandwidth situations. Hurrah for online radio!!
I've been listening to shinsen-radio and animenfo radio, mostly. I still haven't found an online station for english songs that I would like.... Not that I've really been looking. So I guess that's only to be expected then.

Hmm... I think the next thing was supposed to be about the Spring 2008 Anime that I've decided to watch. Well, I didn't really try watching everything, and choosing from amongst them... But anyway:

• Geass R2 (of course!! Lelouch cackle the best!! >:) )
• Nabari no Ou (Because the anidb picture looked so kewl~ And Miharu-kun is so funny!)
• Vampire Knight (Because I'm such a big fan of the manga)
• Itazura na Kiss (I need shoujo stuff too)
• Special A (more shoujo.. though this might be too shoujo..... the art is nice and it's funny ^___^)
