Moved.

I decided to write on blog again, but not here. I will move to Wordpress from now on, and it'll be about less-personal things in English. (Indonesian personal things will be written in my KAORINusantara blog, and English personal things will be written on my Tumblr)

I hope you will enjoy my writings too there!

\Gatcha!/ A Colorful Fun Ride with Gatchaman Crowds

\Gatcha!/

Though everything I would probably rant about in this post is Rui, Hajime, and Rui/Hajime, I tried to post something about a really fun anime I just finished and that I regretted not picking it up earlier as I picks up dusts from this blog (And probably will change blog themes later).

(Psst, this show got a second season!)

Kagerou Daze Official Anthology -SUMMER-

Tempted by Takane in maid outfit (Itokichi's comic), I finally gave in and ordered my copy of this KagePro Anthology. As the title suggests, this anthology have the theme of 'Summer', which was pretty much a theme on KagePro universe already, however, this anthology pretty much took a comedy turn of the Summer theme.

((Also you might know or not, not long after this got released, there was several other KagePro news I posted already on my page in Indonesian, such as SHAFT going to animate 'Mekaku City Actors' and the release of Otsukimi Recital and Yuukei Yesterday PV, but I won't be writing them on a new post here because I was too late.))

[Album Review/Impression x 2] Neru's 'Sekai Seifuku' and ClariS ' Second Story'

Wheee!

Impulse buying is really something I need to control, but for this two, I'm glad I did impulsive buying--- actually, I did enjoy my impulsive buying most of the time. *coughs* So, as you can see from the picture, I finally got my hands on two albums a regular first press copy of ClariS' Second Story and first press copy of Neru's Sekai Seifuku!

Since it's two on a go and I'm too lazy, this review might be short. I'm going to add a new tag for my album reviews, I guess... Also some artists tag~

Anime Festival Asia 2013 Dates Announced!

A day late, but it's okay! Just yesterday, the official twitters of AFA had announced the dates of Anime Festival Asia 2013! Anime Festival Asia Indonesia would be on 6th to 9th of September at Jakarta Convention Center, meanwhile AFA Singapore will be on 8th to 11th November at Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Center.

No details on the AFA Malaysia yet, and no details as in special guests (Wishing for Jin even though it'll be impossible....) or booths yet, but certainly it would be fun to come. I will at least come to the Indonesian AFA, probably cosplaying as B-ko from Shuuen no Shiori. See you there!

[Album Impression/Review] Mekaku City Records (Limited Edition with DVD)

Lookin' good!

After some days of being anxious on waiting for this to come, I finally got my hands on the second album of Jin and his Kagerou Project, Mekaku City Records!

*ahem* An introduction should be relevant, eh? Mekaku City Records is the second and final album for the Kagerou Project. Yes, this is the final album for Kagerou Project. It's a bit sad to let go of this series, personally, but the novel and manga didn't end yet, and there'll even be an anime, so we still got much to go!

Onto the review!

Heartcatch Precure Final Impression + Starting on Digimon Tamers!

Goodbye, friends ;_;

So, I finally finished Heartcatch Precure! Deciding to take a break from Precures since I really loved Heartcatch and doesn't want to went straight on going to other season, now I'm starting on Digimon Tamers as a 'side dish' from seasonal animes.

Mekakucity Records Crossfade & Kagerou Project Anime Title!

The crossfade of Mekaku City Records album have been uploaded in Nicodouga yesterday! The crossfade was directed by Shidu, with narration by Asumi Kana (voicing the character Enomoto Takane aka Ene) and Hanazawa Kana (voicing the character Kozakura Mary). There are also a PV of the third novel, featuring Asumi Kana, though it looked like she voiced Momo on this instead of Ene...

Mekakucity Records is scheduled to be released tomorrow, but some people who had preordered got the album faster... and there is a little bit of news on the anime. The anime's title will be 'Mekaku City Actors' (I will be tagging the info regarding the anime with that now), and there are also a statement that there'll be more info later.

Jin (Shizen no Teki P) is in charge of Monogatari 2nd Season's Theme Song!

Jin have announced in his twitter that he will be composing the theme song for the Monogatari series' Second Season! Under the title 'Ai wo Utae', this song will be performed by Haruna Luna, and probably act as the ending theme as most main theme of Monogatari series were.

I really love Jin's composition and Bakemonogatari series, so this was really a good news! Monogatari Second Season will air on Summer.

Also airing on summer, Recorder to Randoseru's newest season will have a theme song composed by Ishifuro, one of the composers under the same label as Jin (also one of Jin's friends). I haven't watched this one personally, so I couldn't comment, but I want to watch it now...

Midori no Hibi (re-reading) review [contains spoilers]

Recently, I have been digging around my manga collection and re-read them, but one stood among the others.

That is, Midori no Hibi, or 'Midori's Days' as it was localized.

Kagerou Daze Official Anthology -DOWNER-

Actually I got it since... weeks ago? One month ago? But I didn't feel like reviewing it until now.

Anyways.... Kagerou Daze Official Anthology -DOWNER- is a 'sad' and 'depressing' anthology for Kagerou Project series, an opposite to the -UPPER- anthology which is a 'pop' and 'happy' anthology.

Ayano's Happiness Theory

"When there's happiness in KagePro song title, it's not going to be happy."
--Someone on tumblr

Coming faster than expected, it's Ayano's Happiness Theory, the 11th story of Kagerou Project! This song is a part of the second and final Kagerou Project album, 'Mekaku City Records', and it sure have lots of things revealed....But just like as usual as it is with Kagerou Project newer songs, it answered some questions and raised other questions.

Spring 2013 Anime First Impressions

A brand new Anime season have started. I didn't really have anything I wanted to watch this season besides OreImo at first, but... By the way, this post have no plot synopsis and just heaps of my opinion.

International Deceive Day

It's International Kano Day--- International Deceive Day---I mean, April Fools! As usual, the internet is full of silly jokes... as I listened to Yobanashi Deceive on loop while browsing around ^^;;

Lost Time Memory

As announced before, the PV for the newest song of the Kagerou Project second album Mekaku City Records, 'Lost Time Memory' was uploaded at the midnight of March 30th 2013!

Grand Announcement from the Mekaku City

Starting yesterday, the official website of Kagerou Project, Mekakushidan.com have become like that image above. Also, Jin stated there'll be an important announcement live show at 20:00 Japan time.....

And it's finally the time for site to open again (though it was having a heavy traffic & hardly could open and I got the important news from tumblr). The site is heavily revamped-- as you can see for yourself. And the announcement? Those announcement are....

Robotics;Notes and Psycho Pass Final Impression

Me when I finished two of my favorite animes (three if SmiPre is counted).

The day when this two animes finished has finally come ;_; And since both of them left a deep impression on me, I'm writing about them here. Obviously, there'll be spoilers even just a little.

Smile Precure Final Impressions

Everyone's precious Candy.

I eventually got to finish the first Precure series I watched, Smile Precure, and here comes my impression! Obviously, it contains (a little bit of) spoilers.

[Album Impression/Review] Shuuen Re:Write (Limited Edition)

B-KO AND A-YA LOOKS SO COOL.
And sorry, but I'm not interested in Yanderes--- *stabbed*

At the very last, I got my hands on this album. Limited edition of Shuuen Re:Write by 150p! I've written an impression on Figure.FM too, but I want to get more detailed here.

Shuuen Re:Write is the major album of the 'Shuuen no Shiori Project' series by Suzumu and 150p. Previously, there was an album called 'Re: Houkago Shuuen Game' for this series, but that was no more than a doujin album. I think Shuuen's success led to Suzumu and 150P signing a contract with Victor Entertaiment which resulted in this major album.....

So, onto the review/impression, shall we~

Underdog Supremacy

Just yesterday, a new song of Shuuen no Shiori Project (that's originally an album-exclusive song) have been released in Nicodouga by 150p! It's titled 'Underdog Supremacy'.... and there's something really different about this song.
