This anime kicked ASS. It was brilliant, amazing, wonderfully written, so sweet, and it has the bizarre power of taking you both 20 years into the future and 15 years back into the past... Superb series. Superb. :D

Synopsis: 11-year-old Okonogi Yuko has just moved into Daikoku City due to her father's job transfer. The year is 2026, and the real world is now blended with the digital world; children and adults now wear the so-called "Cyberglasses", which allow them to see digital things such as screens, pages, and even creatures (observe the dog in the picture: it is Yuko's cyber-pet dog, Densuke). Most kids are expert hackers even by the age of 10, and all of their digital actions can be seen as graphics or real events in front of their own eyes since the digital world is, for them, as real as the real one. Their only enemy is the antivirus program installed by the city council, Satchii, a big red robot-like blob which is designed to look and sound friendly but will attack any digital item that is out of the mainstream. As a result, the kids end up running from it quite a lot. When Yuko and her sister Kyoko have a run-in with a mysterious black cybercreature (enigmatically called "Illegal"), Yuko's adventure in the cyberworld will begin, and change her life and that of those around her in many ways.

Now there's a big mystery behind everything you see in this anime, and even if I try to explain I will be baffled in my own words so I have to say only ONE thing to you all: WATCH IT. IT FREAKIN' ROCKS. The music rocks (if you liked the Yami No Matsuei OST, well, it's the same composer = EPIC WIN), the animation rocks (Madhouse :D), the script is something beyond this world, and the characters are also one of a kind... Since they're like 11-12, they're still children. The things that they do, even though they're serious and they affect many things on multiple levels, are still like a game to them, in the way that all children like to play when they're around that age, wanting to solve mysteries and stuff. They reminded me a lot about myself, even though (as always with anime characters) they carried a lot of baggage and they often thought in rather mature ways. But they felt real. They felt like children. And that's awesome, because for once these children were children. not some kids-filled-with-super-awesome-pwning-powers-that-know-way-too-much. Because face it, 90% of anime series have characters of that sort. And while they're fun to watch, they lose the realistic feel one might expect from characters sometimes.
So, yeah. Great series. WATCH WATCH WATCH. :D

Oh, also please watch THIS.
Cellphone rant for the masses... This dude rocks. *g*

NEW LAYAUT.
katiedistance , yo!

Happy Easter to those of you who are Orthodox. Χριστός ανέστη, χρόνια πολλά, και του χρόνου με υγεία ευτυχία και αγάπη, etc.
I am SO not Christian, yet I like the feeling of something returning each year, like the tradition of Easter. Lighting the candles in front of the church is really fun, you mingle with a lot of people you don't know. Even in the slight rain, like last night. *sigh*

Uhm. Have spent most of my day looking at JE pr0n icons. And downloading DBSK photobooks.
It's been productive. XD I feel a craving to read moar KAT-TUN gossip. D: From the olden wank days too, haha.

I'm watching Dennou Coil, and it KICKS ASS.
Also starting Zettai Kareshi jdrama tomorrow (because now I have the precise amount of energy required to finish this entry & crawl into bed).

Did manage to salvage my patterns, but barely (yesterday I slept from 10:30 till 4, alhtough I was woken up like a million times... then last night I slept at 2am and I woke up today at noon :D) ~ only to fuck them up again today. Observe the time plzkthx.
Eh well. At least it's manageable.

xmtx !!! I NEED TO SEE YOU! D: Sorry I was busy on MSN today, I was fixing this piece of junk :P

I want to give a proper welcome to my new friends: dinosunglasses , marilena_r , x_saru_x  (I swear I think of you each time real person slashfics are mentioned, ahhhh), seanata , arsinoi , arakas , hiroki_chan , greek_dude . I hope I'm not forgetting anyone! :) Hi and hope I will talk to you a lot and learn stuff about you and become friends. I like making friends. :3

Now that I've got the DBSK photobooks I've been looking for (mainly the Bonjour Paris series, and some others), I will go on a D-Boy spree when I next have time. I want those scans where Araki and Zukki have sandwitched Seto and are almost molesting him, GAYNESS GALORE XDDD

MASSIVE CATCHING UP ON FLIST TOMORROW. I'll try, at least. :*
Hope all of you are safe and okay, talk to you soon. ^^
