Thoughts on hentai
For those of you who don't know, hentai is a Japanese anime-style porn. It's an otaku's wet dream, basically. I was planning on telling you how exactly hentai appeals to me, but that might be boring, no? So I guess I will talk about all kinds of hentai and my thoughts on it all.
Shibari
Shibari hentai is basically fancy for bondage, BDSM. This is my favorite and least favorite category. Bare with me on this one. It's my favorite category because, you guessed it, I'm a fan of bondage. I love the domination and helplessness of it all. Plus hentai makes it so much better than regular porn. The bad things: Japanese has an obsession with enemas and shit. Usually in bondage hentai, some girl will get a tube shoved in her ass and shit will soon pour not to long after. It completely kills the mood and quality when this happens in an anime.
Guro
It's short for grotesque. It's pretty self explanatory. I can honestly say that if anyone gets a sexual rise out of Guro hentai, then there must be something wrong with them. If you love watching porn that involed fucking, cutting open the girl with a hook, pulling out her intestines until they snap, and then rolling around in the blood, sexually aroused, then Guro hentai is just for you! On a good note, it's interesting to watch Guro in a non-sexual sense just to see how fucked up it can be. It's not something you could watch in a regular porno.
Incest
Don't beat me up for this but the incest hentai can be some of the hottest hentai out there, despite the fact it's usually a brother having sex with his sister.
Continueing later. Goodness, I can never finish a topic in one sitting.

The Visual Novels I Never Finished
Okay, so my previous blog post was about the visual novels I've played an enjoyed. This post is about the 2 games I've tried but never finished.
Kana: Little Sister
Okay, this one was one that I had read about as being one of the most controversial games created in Japan. Upon playing it, I could disagree to some degree. Of course, I never finished the game so I can't quite say for sure. Someday, I would like to but there was a lot of things I didn't like about the game. First, there was way to much hype that I read about and not enough to fulfill me when I actually played it. Second, the game was pretty cheaply made. It was simply pictures and text. There were no sprites or music. Then again, I didn't have the soundtrack mounted on the game so that may be why there was no music. But to be frank, it wasn't the best visually. Lastly, there wasn't much choices to interact with. There might have been 2 or 3 in the 3 hours I've played it. That's not enough for me. The story had the potential to be a good game (it's about a boy falling in love with his sister who has renal insufficiency and is dying, go figure), but there was too much taking away from it.
Clannad
This game is one I just started. I'm excited about it for the most part, but I'm not sure what it's about yet. I'm not even sure if I'm playing a guy or a girl. I'm pretty sure it's a guy though. I'm trying to set aside time to play this before I make a final decision on weather I like it or not.

Visual Novels
I've played very few visual novels but the idea and gameplay of them especially intrigue me. I have always been a fan of reading and visual novels, especially those concerning anime, is like a delicious packaged treat just waiting for me. So far, I've only played Princess Debut, Red Shift, and Ace Attorney as for anime visual novels. The non-anime visual novels I've played were Surviving High School and College Romance. The games I have started and have not finished are Kana: Little Sister and Clannad.
College Romance
This was a simple online game in visual novel format that got me started in my obsession for visual novels. It was basically a game where you play a guy and through your 4 college years, you have to meet, woo, and date 1 or more of 5 girls. Based on what you decide to do through the game will give you different outcomes. I'll be honest, the game was a 3 out of 10. The artwork was terrible and the music was SO annoying, but the dialogue and mediocre story made up for it. It was enough to peak my interest in the world of visual novel games.
Red Shift
This was a free game I discovered on the internet that I downloaded it and tried to play it. To be honest, I can't quiet be sure if this should be called a game at all. The story was just as it was: a story. You never made any decisions for the character, you just point and click and watch. So at first, I was a bit disappointed. The story was very well written and could easily be written into a novel or even a manga. It took about 3 or 4 hours to complete but I was glad I played it. The story was quite satisfying.
Princess Debut
This game was turned on by a friend who was playing it before me. Since I really wanted a good visual novel, I gave it a try. I didn't find it, but this game was entertaining. You play as yourself, naturally, and you one day meet a girl looking exactly like you and with the same name. She claims she is the princess of the Flower Kingdom and that she has to attend a dance competition in 30 days but doesn't want to do it. So you switch places with her and enter the Flower Kingdom in her stead. During your 30 days, you have to practice dancing while trying to find dance partners within certain prince's you find in the kingdom. At the end, you do the competition and hope you win. And that's all. The dance practice was a bit annoying but the game was interesting. It's a good starter visual-novel.
Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations
I finally found my excellent visual novel. This game was epic in every way possible. The music, the characters, the story, the gameplay: EVERYTHING. You play as the character Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney who takes on mostly murder cases. You have to successfully defend 5 cases, all of which are closely tied together. I don't want to reveal much about this game because if I were to recommendany game to anyone, this is the one. You have to play this game. This is the third game for the "Phoenix Wright" series, so the story may confuse you at first but you catch on quickly enough. PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surviving High School
This was a cute game. They have many versions of this game but it started on the cell phone. You basically play a high school student and you have to may decisions for the character so you can either become Prom King, get straight As, star in a play, etc. This is a good game for kids. I've completely out grown the high school thing.
I'll talk about the other games I didn't finish on another post. My fingers hurt. =[
Jaaaaaaaaaaa ne!

Anime I Really Want To Watch
There is so many anime that I have yet to watch, that I'm thinking it may be wise to put it in writing as a reference to some sort. I have a problem with skipping around to different anime that I forget which ones I've already watched and which ones I really want to watch. So here is my top 10 list.
1. Vampire Knight. Every "Best Anime Ever" lists I've read has always had this one right here on it at some point or another. I've heard it's really awesome, so I have to get to it somehow.
2. Bleach. I know, I know, this should have been watched by me already but I never got the chance to! I think it's because I'm just not ready for a long anime.
3. Death Note. Yet another one I should have finished.
4. One Piece. Don't ask why, I'm just curious.
5. Loveless. I started watching this before but never finished it. I would like to one day, though!
6. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Same as the one above. It's so popular, I should have finished this a while ago.
7. Princess Mononoke. This is technically a movie, but it's the only Hayao Miyazaki movie I haven't seen.
8. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Again, it's a movie. But I really want to see it.
9. Kanon. I really want to see this because I think it looks really interesting. I like a good drama, anyway.
10. Mahoromantic. I heard of this from a friend and thought it sounded stupid at first. But now I'm intrigued.
I think pretty soon I'm going to watch The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. But until then, Ja Mata!

Okay, so back to MangaNEXT
I would have to say it was a lot better than some of the other conventions I've been to in it's own way. For one, the staff was a lot nicer than AnimeNEXT and more knowledgable than those of Zenkaikon. I also enjoyed a lot of the panels. I went to a panel that taught us how to make masks out of plaster. I believe that was one the best panels I went to. I also had a good time at the publishing panel. Some panels, like most places, were very unorganized and the people who ran them weren't very knowledgable about what they were running. But other than that, it was a very nice experience. I can't wait until next convention!

MangaNEXT....Enjoyable!!
I never had the chance to blog before I went to the convention but I have good news...my costume came in time! It almost didn't fit. It was a bit large around the waist but very good material and everything that was included fit too. The only problem is that the headdress kept slipping off of my wig and falling behind me. so I replaced it with my little kitty ears I bought at the convention.
Oh yes, that's my BF dressed as Luigi! I will be posting pictures soon.
