Here's something to try if you're bored -- just try not to get addicted in the process. You have been warned. If haven't gone off and started playing already, it's a Flash game I stumbled upon tonight called "Typing Mania 4". Now the only reason why it gets mentioned here is because it features a very nice assortment of anime songs, which will be the ONLY thing keeping you playing after awhile. For those of you with 100+ words-per-minute typing speeds, I wouldn't get overconfident too quickly because most of the lyrics are in romaji (ローマ字) and there are quite a few quirks (mentioned below). There are some English songs as well though, so give ELISA's "Euphoric field" from ef - a tale of memories. a try if you like. Each song is ranked with a "Typing Level" ranging from 0 to 99. If you want to experience some level 99 insanity right away, give Lucky Star's "Motekke! Sailor Fuku" 「もってけ���セーラーふく」 a go (pictured above). Even eufonius' "Reflectia" 「リフレクティア」 from true tears is pretty tough, and that's ONLY a level 9 song. With that said, you might want to start off with something reasonable like Nakajima Megumi's Aimo 「アイモ」 from Macross Frontier, so you don't end up hating the game right away. Most of the time, you'll probably be staring at your monitor in awe wondering how anyone's ever supposed to play this properly, but as with Rock Band, you just know there are people out there who will go to lengths to master this kind of stuff. Now if you're actually serious about doing well in this game, there are some things to keep in mind, especially if you're familiar with some Japanese: - The particle は has to be typed out as "ha" and not "wa", which is an accepted romanization of it. - The hiragana し and じ are "si" and "zi" respectively, rather than "shi" and "ji". - The hiragana つ is "tu" rather than "tsu". - None of the Japanese lyrics have spaces. - When spaces do appear, they're displayed as underscores, but you can use Space. - You do not need to capitalize English words. Let the madness (and frustration) begin!

The triangle is now at a crossroad. Island 1. Formerly the heart of Frontier but is now a devastated wasteland. Ranka oh Ranka where art thou Ranka? Homolust levels OVER 9000. So, a terminal case of V-type infection allows you to sing to Vajra? Kinda cool but not something I’d trade my life for. A tender yuri moment. Setting yuri goggles [...]

Short Synopsis: A calm before the storm things are set up for the finale. Highlights: Ozma and Grace. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 Okay Westlo, you’ve proved your point. At the previous episode, I declare Sheryl standing no chance at Alto’s love, only for the two to sleep together in just one episode later (at least, that was very [...]

New song for Sheryl this episode Lyrics by Anju Mana, who also wrote the lyrics to Ranka’s Anata no Oto… AND the co-lyricist is Gabriela!!! And here’s a terrible sample taken straight from the animation: I’m not that fond of this song and the way it was used, but I’ll wait until I [...]

I know I have asked for some assemblance of a plot before, but I’d never thought that when I do see it, I’d be watching Déjà vu. The cliffhanger from last episode turns out to be one big anti-climatic teaser that deflates all my hypes as fast as the Strike Witches flashing their panties across my [...]

We feel like freakin’ geniuses!  Why?  For once we were right.  We predicted about 15 episodes ago that Suzaku and Lelouch would join forces and we were right.  Please ignore the fact that we were wrong about nearly everything else with Code Geass R2 and Macross Frontier :-P. Story We apologize for being late with this [...]

Well there you guys have it, our two Macross F girls with spherical things hovering around them

I don’t think I’ve ever really taken the time out to talk about Macross F on this blog before. There’s just the one mention of me wanting Ranka to win SaiMoe, but that’s really it. So this feels a little weird now, but I will persevere. With the way Ranka’s been portrayed by other bloggers these [...]
