Life is a Movie >:D

Life is a Movie Quiz
Okay, imagine your life is a movie - what songs would be in it? To find out, here's how it works:
[1] Open your library (iTunes, Media Player, iPod, etc).
[2] Put it on shuffle.
[3] Press play.
[4] For every question, type the song that's playing.
[5] When you go to a new question, press the next button.
[6] Don't lie (it's more interesting).

-Movie Trailer-
"Gimme More" by Britney Spears
Comment: Uhhhh..... certain parts would be cool for a trailer but this would not be my first choice as movie trailer music. I don't even know why it's still in my library.
Favorite Lyrics: (nothing in particular 'cause I don't much care for the song anyways)
-Opening Credits-
"Air for Terrance (DJ Discover Mashup)" version Above & Beyond vs Sunlodger
Comment: Trance is the perfect kind of music for opening credits~!! I'd totally be dancing or drawing epically just because of the music! YES!
Favorite Lyrics: "Air for life." (I can't tell what most of the song is saying.... the beats are really cool though)
-Waking Up- (this makes it sound like a movie like the Matrix)
"Outro" by Breaking Benjamin (the one from the Phobia album)
Comment: It fits so well!! OH MY GAWSH.
Favorite Lyrics: (it's just an instrumental piece)
-First Day of School- (now it sounds like one of those over the top teenager movies.... *sigh*)
"I Caught Myself" by Paramore (have this soung 'cause of the Twilight album)
Comment: Probably too early of a point to have such a song, so blame Windows Media Player. Unless this movie is a sequel THEN it's pretty fitting I guess. Woo hoo!
Favorite Lyrics: "You got it, you got it./ I hate this, I hate this./ I'm saying something that I should have never thought of you."
-First Love- (I get to fall in love!? THANK YOU)
"Drago or the Dragons" by Falling Up
Comment: Hmmm.... *listens to a bit of the song* I love the words.
Favorite Lyrics: "I am just alive, she's just a fake./ Now poison's running through the seams./ The numbers say it, flash up the screen./ And from crescendo cuts the knee"
-First Heartbreak-
"Tourtured Tangled Hearts" by Dixie Chicks
Comment: HA HA. A country song xD And I get to be the one breaking a heart 0.0
Favorite Lyrics: "After 31 days of sleepless nights she woke up to end it all./ She took her name right off his heart."
-Fight Song-
"My World" by 3 Doors Down
Comment: Not very epic! DANG.
Favorite Lyrics: "Seems that everytime that you catch up, you only fall behind./ This is not the life for me 'cause my world is bigger than your problems. And it's bigger than me."
-Prom-
"Tsuki no Shijima" (from the anime Tsubasa Chronicles)
[i cheated and did a second song which ended up being "Aikoi" from the same series. It's more upbeat and I'd be more likely to dance to it that the first one.]
Comment: I guess it's cute enough to be a prom song, but I probably wouldn't be at prom in the first place. LOL
Favorite Lyrics: (they're all Japanese sooooo no attempt. I'd probably spell most of the words wrong)
-Life-
"When the Light" by Day of Fire
Comment: Interesting choice Windows Media Player!
Favorite Lyrics: "The highway smiles.../ When the light shines on my face, the world becomes so small./ When the light finds me this way, I know I'm not alone."
-Mental Breakdown- (I was trying to avoid one of these!)
"Forgiven" by Skillet
Comment: Hrm..... not exactly a mental breakdown song. Ok, maybe. I've only heard the song once, and that was just now for this. I just added it yesterday.
Favorite Lyrics: "This heart belongs to you alone./ Now I'm in a secret place."
-Driving- (I better not get a ticket)
"Circus" by Britney Spears
Comment: Why would I be watching a dang circus while sitting in the backseat if I'm suppose to be driving!?
Favorite Lyrics: "Better be ready..../ All eyes on me./ When I crack that whip, everyone is gonna trip./ Huh huh huh huh."
-Flashback- (to my kiddo days I bet! I probably lost a parent or something)
"Monster" by Skillet
Comment: OHMIGODNESS! This would be perfect for a Himitsu no Basho movie! OH GOSH. It so would 0_0 (note: Himitsu no Bash is one of the manga/novel series that my character Akia is a part of. The song is fitting because it's about these people who literally have a monster self)
Favorite Lyrics: "I feel it deep within. Underneath the skin./ The dark has just begun./ I, I, I feel like a monster!/ My secret side I keep..../ I keep it caged, but I can't control it./ Why can't someone come and save me from this?"
-Getting Back Together- (what!? did I decide he was really the one? *sigh*)
"Poker Face (Space Cowboy Remix)" originally by Lady Gaga
Comment: Seriously....... I like the original version better.
Favorite Lyrics: (not gonna bother)
-Losing Your Virginity- (FYI, I'd be married before this in real life >:[. shessh)
"Can't Live a Day (DJ Tiesto remix)" originally by Avalon
Comment: Well, it's actually quite fitting despite it being a song about not being able to live without God.
Favorite Lyrics: "I could live life alone and never feel the longing of my heart and the longings of my heart. The healing warmth of someone./ And never know the thrill of what could be./ I could live without many things./ but I couldn't face my life tommorrow without your hope in my heart..../ I know I can't live a day without you./ You're the heartbeat of all I do."
-Wedding- (AWWWW T^T I told myself I would...n't.... CRY AWWW T^T *sniffles*)
"Water" by Breaking Benjamin
Comment: Hmm... it doesn't really fit. It's more of a saving a life song than anything.
Favorite Lyrics: "The waters up to the knee./ All I want is what's best for you./ I won't ever let you drown."
-Birth of Child- (I shall name my child some epic anime name. I REALLY WILL. She'll be Missy Belldandy or something. Ok, not that epic of a name cause that amount of epicness will make all the other childrens uber jealous)
"You Were Mine" by Dixie Chicks
Comment: WHUT!? Did my child die!? >.> Wait... my husband leaves me!? IM SO SAD!
Favorite Lyrics: *Alicia is too busy crying to care*
-Final Battle- (I bet I'm fighting that hubby that let me >:( dang shessh!)
"Forget It" by Breaking Benjamin
Comment: Hrm.... HMMM. Maybe. It fits somewhat. Like a soggy puzzle piece.
Favorite Lyrics: "How can I believe, when this cloud hangs over me. You're the part of me I don't want to see./ Just fade away. Just let me stay..."
-Death Scene- (don't tell me I, or my child, or my ex-hubby or my ferrit dies T^T)
"Can't Sleep" by Above & Beyond
Comment: Oh dang....
Favorite Lyrics: "Singing to a dark through open eyes. While dreaming I see only you and me stuck between desire..../ There's nothing left for us to long for anymore./ I can't sleep. You're so far away from me."
-Funeral Song- (I've narrowed it down to my exhubby and my ferrit.... because Missy Belldandy is too awesome to die after only entering kindergarten)
"Cayagake! Girls" (from the K-ON! anime)
Comment: That's a really upbeat funeral song 0.0
Favorite Lyrics: (It's in Japanese)
-Bloopers- (WHAT!? the movie ends with a funeral T^T well... it was an upbeat funeral for some reason)
"Just Dance (DJ Crunk edit)" originally by Lady Gaga
Comment: The beat is fitting, and I guess the music is too.
Favorite Lyrics: (I don't care)

[Fall 2009 Anime] Initial Impressions [part 2]

Impressions: It seems like a fresh version of every season before it. This may just because it's been about 3 years since I last saw an episode of Inuyasha. The music is still amazing, and the characters don't seem as... over the top as before :) The episode was not as confusing as other reviewers have made it out to be, but for someone who has never seen an episode or has only seen a season or two probably would be confused.
Gonna Continue Watching: Yes

Impressions: Say hello to the anime that is meant to fill that DearZ and Chobits void in your little otaku heart, 'cause this is it. Introducing ANGELROIDS 0__0
Gonna Continue Watching: as much as I want to say no, I'm still too interested to put this one to the side

sorry.... it's actually Kimi ni Todoke xD
Impressions: I.Love.This.Anime. I'm a sucker for romance type anime, and this one is defiantly that. I was excited for this the minute I heard it got green-lit. My excitment was inflamed thanks to Shojo Beat releasing volume 1 of the manga soon before I found out about the anime.
Gonna Continue Watching: yesssssss yes yesss

[Fall 2009 Anime] Initial Impressions [part 1]

Impressions: The first episode doesn't reveal much other than that humans are dived into different groups. Some are called Meats, and these aren't considered human. Others (the ones in the picture) are called Armed Librarians. Their job is to protect the books (when you die, your soul solidifies into a stone book) that represent the life story of people. There was a pretty cool action sequence, and some comedy thrown in as well. The opening music is by Ali Project, so that alone is WIN.
Gonna Continue Watching: YES O' COURSE

Impressions: For once a CLAMP anime does not look like every other one before it. Kobato takes the magical girl concept (kind of....) and makes it new. I loved the entire episode. I laughed, I cried and I even cringed! The best part was the song she sang (6min into the second part of the episode). It didn't look like some random lip flap like most characters who sing in anime get. :3
Gonna Continue Watching: HAI!

Impressions: A train full of kawaii boys who want to help troubled ladies!? WEll.... I'm a sucker for the cute faces but the animation was just ok. And the anime is based on the train lines in Japan.... what was I suppose to expect?
Gonna Continue Watching: Maybe

Impressions: To begin a season with a hotsprings episode was really a turn off, but I loved the first season so I decided to finish the episode. It ended with the cute couple running off to some anime event... but how could they possible not get found out!? There was a random geisher created of course xD
Gonna Continue Watching: DUH. It's otaku anime

[Mini-reviews] 10/7/09 [Anime #2]

07-Ghost

Episode(s) Watched: #22-25
Quick Star Rating: 4.9/5
Quick Opinion: T^T BWAAAAA! I promised I wouldn't cry, but I can't help it. This show was so beautiful (but annoying at the same time). I'm gonna miss hearing how much Teito misses his best buddy.
Plan to Continue Watching: If there is a second season ever made, I'm defiantly watching!

Rin ~daughters of darkness~

Episode(s) Watched: #1-6
Quick Star Rating: -HUH!?/5
Quick Opinion: I normally like ero-guro type anime (such as Chaos;HEAD and Kurozuka), but when yuri is added along with some guy who is a half girl... then my brain just wants to explode. I'm still shocked that I even watched the whole thing >.>
Plan to Continue Watching: Probably not. (that is, if there's another season or some lost episode)

Vexille

Episode(s) Watched: it's a movie
Quick Star Rating: 5/5
Quick Opinion: I loved both Appleseed movies, so I was looking forward to watching this movie. My high hopes were rewarded with a very nice mech type anime movie that had humans turning into robots before my eyes (but not the metallic kind you may be thinking of. I'm talkin' about the kind in GITS). I came really close to crying at the end of this movie....
Plan to Continue Watching: a sequel would be neat

Dead Leaves

Episode(s) Watched: it's a movie
Quick Star Rating: 0__o/5
Quick Opinion: WHAT DID I JUST WATCH WITHOUT BLINKING!? I was so en groused in this disgusting display of animation that looked like FLCL. But at the end of the movie, I never wanted to see it again.... The baby did remind me of Renesme from the Twilight series, but the Dead Leaves child died in a matter of minuets. xD
Plan to Continue Watching: NEVER

Genshiken

Episode(s) Watched: seasons 1&2
Quick Star Rating: 3/5
Quick Opinion: Awwwww, they never got together T^T I read the manga before watching the anime. Most of the series followed the manga, but some stuff I was looking forward to was MISSING. *dun dun dunnnnnn*
Plan to Continue Watching: I doubt there's ever be more, but I have been wrong. YES

Kujubiki Unbalance

Episode(s) Watched: #1-3
Quick Star Rating: 2/5
Quick Opinion: The only reason I decided to watch this because I finished Genshiken. BOY, I'm dumb. This series is so much like a lot of anime.... but the kujibiki lottery twist is pretty nice.
Plan to Continue Watching: either when I'm in the mood or am dead bored

Clannad ~after story~

Episode(s) Watched: #1-3
Quick Star Rating: 5mil MOE Points/5
Quick Opinion: I was planning on finishing the first season by first re-watching from the beginning but my sister suggested I just watch this. IT'S SO CUTE >/////<>:{

Darker than Black

Episode(s) Watched: #3-6
Quick Star Rating: 4/5
Quick Opinion: I do like this series!
Plan to Continue Watching: OF COURSE YA DUMMY

There are some others that I watched at random (such as xxHolic) but I'm too lazy to quick review those.

The rest are Fall 2009 anime, and I've decided to do initial impression reviews for those in a different post :3

[Summer 2009 Anime] Princess Lover 1-4

-Introduction-

I'm a huge sucker for ergo based anime, but even that can't make me love every single anime in that genre. Knowing this, please read my review with the mind set that I do love this kind of anime but there are times I have to tell the truth. I want to give an honest opinion because I review anime so that people seeking to weed out the ones that time should not be wasted on can do just that.

-Plot Summary-
Teppei Arima is a second-year high school student who lost both of his parents in a traffic accident on their way home from a family trip. His grandfather, Isshin Arima, happens to wield the puppet strings in Japan’s vast economy and demands that Teppei becomes his successor as the head of the Arima Group. To prepare for his debut into high society, Teppei enrolls in an elite academy for the scions of the rich and powerful. (Anime News Network)
Did the person who wrote this story watch Sailor Moon before doing so? I sure see some similarities to the Prince in Sailor Moon to Teppei! Haha.
____________________________________
-The Music-
Uhhhhhhhh. UHHHHHHHH. eto ga.... It's not that good and I don't really know what to say about it other than it's up beat and happy. This is a happy show, so I guess that's a good thing.
_____________________________________
-The Visuals-
Supder, duper, uber average. It's like just about every other ergo game based anime out there in the anime market. You got your girl with brown hair, one with pink, another with blond and yet another with blue. I haven't see green yet, but I'm sure I will eventually :P

Fall 2009 anime PV (w/ pictures!)

A] I'd like to point out that I used T.H.A.T Animeblog's Fall 2009 Anime Preview for a lot of the images and info used in my entry (but I added my own flair to the images). I also used Anime News Network.
B] This season of anime includes: 8 sequels, 3 spin-offs, 15 new shows, 9 manga adaptations, 6 light novel adaptations, 3 ergo adaptations and 2 original shows.

I plan to watch this show AFTER I finish the first season. If I like that season enough, I'll review season one and then watch season two as a whole before reviewing it as well. I don't have the time to review all the shows I watch by the episode, but I will most likely do mini-reviews like this. There's also the possibility that I-studios will want to do an Ogenki review :D
