Engima, Games and Gundam!
I suppose this post is mainly on fangirling on these fandoms...
Engima
I keep on ranting about Enigma in the past view entries, I don't remember if I shared the link to the manga or not (I could've and forgot)
Here you go:
http://www.mangareader.net/enigma/1
Summary: Haiba Sumio is a student at a Tokyo High School with an interesting ability... He occasionally falls asleep and wakes up with premonitions of the future written out on his "Dream Diary". With this ability, Sumio helps out people in trouble before anything bad happens, until one day when his peaceful life completely changes.
The newest chapter is 28, not sure if it is out yet in manga reader. Sumio is currently trapped in a different dimension version of his school along with his childhood friend and a few other people. Engima says they all have a special ability and using those abilities of theirs, they have to obtain passwords and escape from the school - making sure not to get devoured by this 'shadow' thing lurking in there.
To show off my fangirling of this very new series I drew a quick pic of Sumio:

This pose is made of fail - need more practice heheh.
I wonder if there are any engima groups or communities out there right now?
Games
Way back in March ever since I bought Nii-san those games, well, it's been a while I'm hooked to games again 8D;
I may have said it before but Professor Layton is quite charming. I've only bought the curious village one but I love the puzzles (even though I hate heavy calculations) the voice acting.... it's not bad but.... hmmm..... Luke's voice sounds so brattish, Layton's one sounds gentlemen enough but sometimes its feels like he is either emotionless or robotic.
But alas it is so much fun, if only the other two remaining games' prices will drop....
I also like how I can save whenever I want with this game, now that's what I call a good portable game.
Also, I finally got him the Zelda Spirit tracks one. He says he likes playing trains more than going on a boat. The only thing I don't like about Zelda games nowadays is they make plenty of side-tracked things before you can go to a dungeon because in reality they do not have enough dungeons!
They also have less puzzles imo, or more like they make long puzzles where you need to go from one side of the room to the other instead of having more complex puzzles in one whole room.
I dunno, unless it's because I still like the 2D Zelda ones instead of the 3D ones.
Gundam
Speaking of more games, I bought Gundam Musou III from HK back to Nii-san (Though I discovered the merchandise is made from HK and not Japan T_T, nii-san says he doesn't mind...)
I haven't watched Gundam 00 or Gundam Unicorn (Unicorn is the newest one on air right now I think, though it is an OVA) but I love that Unicorn model in Musou! It's extremely convenient and awesome to the extreme! XD
Anyway, they added Gundam 00, Gundam Unicorn, Gundam X and Gundam 0083 to this Musou I think.
I haven't watched Gundam 0083 before and don't plan to either because its concept is supposed to make you root for the rival and that your 'actual main character' is always the loser - that kind of theme (This Gundam story basically explains why the beginning of Z Gundam is so shit - army wise anyway).
Though I have to say discovering the Seiyuu of Cou is the same for Hattori Heiji in Detective Conan is quite a shock 8D;
Also knowing Gato's Seiyuu is the one for Gwendal (Kyou Kara Maou), Solid Snake and Black Jack.
Also, the music theme of Gundam 0083 is good too.
Here you go if you wanna listen to those two and 0083's main music theme:
http://youtu.be/sj5OTtuMBlA
They also show Amuro Ray in his Nu Gundam, shooting around with his funnels (Those long things that shoot out laser beams)
Another shocking thing is the main character of Gundam X, Garrod's Seiyuu was the same one as Genta and Officer Takagi 8D; Everytime Garrod goes and hits someone it always reminds me of Genta - oh dear! if you want to see garrod, he's in one of the movies, the first one in the Gundam Unicorn section (just scroll down this page after Gundam 00 and you'll see).
If you like Gundam 00 (Since it's the newest one other than Gundam Unicorn and I haven't seen 00 either) here's a movie to showcase the main character (Setsuna, same seiyuu as Riku from KH or Tamaki from Ouran) and his genderless rival:
http://youtu.be/XcALymlfsVA
Of course you can also see Kira Yamato(Goku from Saiyuki or Gakuto from POT) from Seed Destiny and Seabrook from F91.
If there's anything that I found annoying when playing Musou, ever since the second one and this one, Seed Destiny's characters' speeches annoys me greatly (Well, maybe Lacus is ok...) Athurun(Hakkai from Saiyuki, Mizuki from POT) annoys me the most, they all going around saying 'Why do you fight?', 'For what?' etc etc, when they're the ones going around fighting for the excuses they made up themselves. (It's just like Quatre from Gundam Wing, he's not in here btw, in the anime he always say 'I don't want to fight, sorry!' and then goes 'boom', bomb or shoots and kills people in their mobile suits/machines. Such hypocrite! 8D;)
No wonder Shin argues with them, their speeches are quite annoying hahaha.
Gundam Unicorn is set after Char's Counterattack, which we have Mineba (She has appeared in Z Gundam but not in ZZ, the one in ZZ is fake, Mineba's dad was a well-known character in Gundam: One Years War, the very first Gundam story,) I think she is known as Oderi or Odori (I haven't seen her name in English so not too sure) she is the main female character of Gundam Unicorn. Anyway, the main pilot of Gundam Unicorn is a guy named Panaji, I love his gundam it's SO useful! (Some of the other ones are so shit I can cry and laugh)
Here we have the main music theme of Unicorn (Which sounds the best imo from all of the other new ones) You may need to turn up the volume a bit....:
http://youtu.be/Tde4-2oRAK4
There are two white ones in here. The one that looks like a butterfly/moth robot one is called a Quebeley - piloted by Haman Khan (Let's say she's one of the most powerful, scheming woman among all gundam woman in history....) See those pink traingle things she shot out? (And laser beams shoot out from them?) Those are called funnels which can be manipulated by most NewType people. NewType people exist more at the older series of all gundam - mainly on the first gundam, z gundam and zz gundam. Of course, the main character of V, the main female character of X are also Newtypes.
Anyway, the other whole white one is Gundam Unicorn piloted by a guy named Panaji (I haven't watched Unicorn!) so the horn on its forehead looks like a unicorn's one, once it turns into destroy mode (When it changes into pink) it looks more like a gundam.
The scary thing about Panaji, is that he's a NewType that can block the lasers of the funnels from other NewTypes as shown in the movie (Currently the only one that can do so) which makes him precious (According to my brother's speech anyway)
Unicorn is the best one imo in Gundam Musou III (Z Gundam coming second), I especially love his special Technique when used with a random partner nearby - it looks awesome and is useful for clearing fields (It looks like some kind of supernova or eh... like a hemisphere has sprouted from it, not those extra laser beams!) - you can see the move here starting from 3:29:
http://youtu.be/wS7t2Fztn7c
BTW, the starting music of this one reminds you of Guile's theme from Street fighter doesn't it? (At least it does for me...)
Here's another one that you can listen to the Unicorn's main theme:
http://youtu.be/5RKSBf67Lg0
The reason the music is unicorn is because of that red guy (In which most fans guess he's actually Char)
We can see Rolan (Edward Elric!) from Turn A and Sirroco from Z gundam. They added another character from Turn A (The second lady from where Rolan works as a servant), Rolan is always surrounded by powerful women (Rolan is like a servant slave to them, he listens to them and doesn't complain - so M!) Rolan is also surrounded by perverts too...(in the anime) poor Rolan lol.
They've added more characters in Gundam Wing to this one, they are Trieze (hentai/perverted guy that thinks war is beautiful/wonderful and should fight like a knight, shouldn't shoot people etc, voiced the same as Tezuka from POT and Nube from Hell Teacher Nube)
Duo Maxwell (Rey from Seed Destiny, Sanzo from Saiyuki) in which Duo's gundam deathscythe's special techniques are shit - but not as shit as Trowa's one, other than the weight of his gundam that lives up to its name, there is nothing 'heavy' about its armory in Gundam Heavyarms. It's completely shit like a Class 2 machine and even Class 2 machines are better than it - oh joy!
Duo and Trowa are like side dishes in this game, if they didn't have a lot of fans they'll never be in here! (just like Quatre, I guess he wasn't that famous because his voice isn't a male? And Wufei's attitude towards women would make most women his enemies hahaha)
Gundam X doesn't have a rival in this one (Well in the anime the only worthy people as rivals are those two hentai/perverted/stupid/silly brothers) I doubt Sunrise/Bandai could be bothered especially since X wasn't that famous....
At least they added a Knight Gundam to this one instead of just having the Musha Gundams in the past.
Random
Oh yeah..... this is old new, but my brother informed me of this a few weeks ago...
Nii-san: Hey, you know that Prince William(Englnd) and his fiancee Kate Middleton is getting married this year?
Me: Really? That's good.
Nii-san: Guess when they're having it?
Me: *Shrugs* when?
Nii-san: On your birthday.
Me: WHAT?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/royal-wedding/8153299/Royal-Wedding-Date-Prince-William-and-Kate-Middleton-to-marry-on-April-29.html
Mom (When both of us are in HK): Hey the Prince and his fiancee are getting married on your B-day!
Me: I know... (I know one of my cousin and my family doctor (mom's doctor) have the same birth-dates too)
Does that mean my B-day will be a bank holiday from now on? 8D;
I wonder why they picked that day (Other than it's a Friday) April 29th is Green day in Japan! (But they now have it as a Shouwa day and moved green day to May since 2007 T^T)
Well, it's happy news for them.
Also, KHR! (Katekyo Hitman Reborn!) They now officially have an Acrobaleno that has a 'clear' pacisfist! (And Reborn is actually showing more emotions for once)
Are they finally going for a Origami fighters route!? (Origami fighters is a manga drawn by a Taiwanese in where you fold origamis, change into whatever origami shape you have folded and your rank is based on your colour, Gold being the best, Silver, White, Black, Red, orange (colours of teh rainbow) and purple (Violet/indigo whichever) is the lowest rank.
They invented a new colour called 'Colourless' (i.e. clear) and that ranks higher than Gold.
At least Reborn doesn't have gold - don't turn all gold like Saint Seiya!
And Enma! Enma & Tsuna friendship = Super yay!
Sorry for ranting so much Gundam heheh.
