Crisis Core Minigame : Zack's Training

Have fun!

Anime Rating Update

Quite some time back, I had a post on anime which I had been following . . . and with most of the series coming to a close soon, I've decided to release my top 3 picks.



One of the more highly rated anime of the season, Claymore has a pretty decent storyline with some good action scenes thrown into the mix and backed by appropriate music tracks. People have been complaining that the deviations of the anime from the manga have been unbearable, but not having read the manga yet, I've enjoyed the show thus far.



An underrated show together with Seirei, Darker than BLACK is more of a mystery/drama type of anime rather than action, even though there are action scenes almost every other episode. With an interesting storyline and few hints as to how the story would eventually end, it has been an interesting watch. (Read more about it under Anime Synopsis)



Guardian of the Spirit, or Seirei no Moribito, is a tale of a female bodyguard being tasked to protect the Prince of the New Yogo Empire, who has the egg of a Water Spirit placed in him. A drama type anime with good quality animation for almost every episode, nice music as well as interesting storyline. Also, when action scenes are included, they're usually pretty awesome and not as exaggerated as certain other shows *cough* Bleach *cough* Here's a little snippet of my favorite scene from Episode 3 which impressed me in the way it was handled in the anime :



Also deserving of special mention for originality of sorts is Dennou Coil, which fuses elements of advanced computer technology and virtual stuff together with the real world.



Other shows which I've enjoyed are Hayate no Gotoku!, Seto no Hanayome! and Romeo X Juliet, but I would place those marginally below the few mentioned above. Of course, if I were in the mood for a light-hearted comedy, the former two would be good bets.

Final Fantasy VII : Voices of The Lifestream

Quoted from the Project Site :

" Final Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream is an OverClocked Remix Album featuring free fan arrangements from the soundtrack to Square's legendary Final Fantasy VII for the Sony Playstation.

From jazz to techno to rock to classical, it features over forty five tracks from over forty artists, each interpreting composer Nobuo Uematsu's works in their own unique style. "

Just released today, it should be worth a listen with all that effort put into it. Please proceed to the Voices of The Lifestream Site to obtain the download as well as information about the project.

On a side note, here's the PV of 'Hello', a debut song by the group THYME. Seems like one of the better debut singles to me, and not to mention that the lead singer's sweet :)

From the staff of Kingdom Hearts and Advent Children, Final Fantasy Versus XIII is part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation, and is a wholly independent story with different characters and visuals, although they take place in the same universe.

Vincent Wallpaper

Here's a new wallie of Vincent Valentine from FFVII/Dirge of Cerberus . . . a little darker than my other works, but enjoy!

Silent Hill Inspiration ?

1962 Centralia, Pennsylvania - An exposed vein of coal was ignited accidentally during the practice of trash burning, with the fire eventually spreading throughout the mines beneath the borough. Attempts to put out the fire were unsuccessful, and to this day, smoldering mists still shroud areas of the town. The severity of the problem was brought to light after a series of accidents in the 70s and 80s, most notably an incident where a 12 year old boy almost fell to his death into a hot, deep subsidence as the ground collapsed beneath him.

In 1984, Congress allocated more than 42 million for relocation efforts, and while most residents have agreed to move, a handful chose to remain. With its abundance of underground fuel, some say that the fire will continue to burn a 1000 years from now.
