Synopsis

QUOTE

This world consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible. However the demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exist within it. Satan the god of demons, but there's one thing that he doesn't have, and that's a substance in the human world that is powerful enough to contain him!! For that purpose he created Rin, his son from a human woman, but will his son agree to his plans? Or will he become something else...? An exorcist?

Just watched Ep1. It was amazing.
Great characters, pacing, artwork and BGM. A cliffhanger ending too.
Unfortunately the ED by 2PM doesn't really suit the series and it kinda spoiled the tension built up by the ending.

QUOTE

Set directly after the events of Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts coded is in deep connection with the up-and-coming prequel Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It follows the story of the mystery behind the missing contents of the journal – logged by the chronicler of Sora, Donald and Goofy’s adventures, Jiminy Cricket – of Kingdom Hearts. The hero is Data Sora from the journal who is asked by King Mickey to help solve the puzzle behind one of two remaining lines: “We must return to free them from their torment”. However, there is another problem: black and red blocks known as “Bugs” are appearing in the worlds of the journal, preventing Sora from unveiling the mystery, and causing trouble in both the outside world and the journal itself. While Sora fights for the truth, there are certain dark forces whose agenda is nothing but malicious and will do anything to stop him from completing his task. With a series of unexpected twists and turns, Kingdom Hearts coded will uncover the shocking truth of the events of Kingdom Hearts.

-The game's battle system has the concept of Coded + 358/2 Days + Birth By Sleep, combining the special features of all three systems.
-For Re:Coded, they're keeping the Coded control system as it is and adding auto jump and some other support features.
-With regards to gameplay, Nomura also noted that the game's battle system is being tuned by the Birth by Sleep Co Director. The game's maps are being tuned by the Birth by Sleep team as well.
-There will be some major changes to the game's level-up system. The game will feature some elements from 358/2 Days. Nomura noted here that the 358/2 Days' system had high level of freedom and was targeted for core users. For Re:Coded, they're simplifying things so that light users can enjoy themselves. Despite the changes, you'll find most of the elements of Coded in Re:Coded. This includes the side scrolling stages and the RPG-like command battles.
-There won't be a multiplayer component to Re: Coded. Instead, Square Enix is working surechigai Wi-Fi features into the game. You'll be able to communicate through surechigai with people who have games other than Re:Coded. It also looks like they've come up with a system for using surechigai even if you're not in the proximity of other players.
-The original Coded linked up with avatars from Kingdom Hearts Mobile. These avatars will appear in Re:Coded via the surechigai system. Nomura didn't go into details, but he did say that the game has most of the avatars that are currently available on KHM, including Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning.
Re:Coded will also feature a Secret Movie, which Nomura said is something players have great demand for. He suggested that fans who are interested in the KH story check it out.

Based on Idea Factory’s Otomate-branded romance adventure games (i.e. dating sim), Hakuouki takes place during the late shogunate period of the Edo era. Yukimura Chizuru, whose father works in Kyoto as a doctor practicing western medicine, travels to the imperial capital to search for him after losing contact. There, she’s attacked by a blood-thirsty monster and saved by the local Shinsengumi. She stumbles upon their dark secret in the process and is taken into custody by them as a result, but they help her search for her father as the mysteries continue to unfold.

Genres: action
Themes: historical, samurai
Animation Production: Studio DEEN
Director: Osamu Yamasaki
Music: Kô Ôtani
Character Design: Atsuko Nakajima
Sound Director: Yoshikazu Iwanami

First two episodes are promising. The art work is the best out of this season's series. And both op and ed are great.
Definitely a must-watch for female anime watchers.

Keyboard

Aeiou11 — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:25:27 +0800

I'm planning to buy a keyboard but there are too many choices out there.
I heard YPG-635 is a very good one. But is the sound quality nearly good as piano? I'm a 8th grader so I would like to have a keyboard that can be nearly as realistic as piano and allow me to play moderate-difficult pieces.
And is it possible to produce pedal effect in keyboard?
Please recommend me other models if there are better and worthy ones. Thanks.

Water leaked into my laptop.

Aeiou11 — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:51:55 +0800

Okay, water spilled from my bottle in my bag and leaked into my laptop.
And the DELL technician said my internal HDD is spoiled. I've got to buy a new one.
The problem is I didn't do any backup and it's very expensive to retrieve back all my data. So there's no other way to retrieve back my data?
And if I buy a new HDD, the guy said I have to reinstall Windows. So is it a must for me to reinstall every programme? No other way?

It's so troublesome for me since I'm currently overseas and I know nothing about computer. And everything here is so expensive.

Hopefully sifu here can enlighten me.

Pokemon caused seizure

11 year old saves mom from message board-created seizure
Posted by Brett Singer

As weird as this story is, I was surprised that it was the first time it happened.

Here's the deal: some nasty pranksters used computer code to put up posts containing numerous animated gifs (you know, those annoying flashing things). The thing is, they did this on the Epilepsy Foundation's message board, the idea being to, you know, cause visitors to the site to have seizures. The next day the same group of "Internet griefers" used another coding trick to redirect people who clicked on certain posts to a page with an image "designed to trigger seizures in both photosensitive and pattern-sensitive epileptics," according to Wired.

RyAnne Fultz, 33, saw the page and then, "couldn't move and couldn't speak." Her 11-year-old son saw her, figured out what was happening, moved her eyes away from the screen and "killed the browser process" (translation: closed the offending window).

I am slightly surprised that this is the first time someone tried this, since, for a sick mind, it would seem obvious. If this sort of thing that happened in a novel it might be funny. In real life, not so much. Props to the kid who helped his mom, though.

Aside: Something similar happened in 1997, when an episode of Pokemon caused seizures in several hundred Japanese children. Unlike the Epilepsy Foundation prank, this was an accident. You can read about that here; if you are not seizure-prone and want to see the offending video clip, search YouTube for "Electric Soldier Porygon" (which, sadly, is not a typo). I'm not linking to it so no one sees it inadvertently. I, however, just watched it and now have a headache.

I found the clip of the Pokemon which caused seizures. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVE EPILEPSY!

And guys, stop using flashing gif, you may cause someone to have seizure.
