I'm Back in Business! A New Start


Hello all you peeps! It's ShugoOtaku here. Well... I KNOW I've been gone for a really long time, and thus you guys aren't really that updated on what I've been doing. For one, after my previous post, I went on a little holiday to somewhere in my country. For a few days... But... it was REALLY nice. I got a nice tan! LOL, I'm joking, I'm still the same. Awright, since it was the June holidays here, I got down to business and started to find some new anime. Here are the animes I have watched over the past holiday:

-Princess Lover!
-Yumeiro Patissiere [ongoing]
-Prism Ark
-Lamune
-Pandora Hearts
-Clannad (rewatched)
-Clannad After Story (rewatched)

I absolutely ADORE Clannad/After Story!!! It's so tragic, yet really beautiful. I claim it as a work of art!! For all those otakus like me, here is a brief summary of Clannad: Tomoyo is a high school boy, with troubles and all that, then one day he meets a girl called Nagisa, who's always ill. Then from there, his life starts changing. The anime is really that EPIC. For Princess Lover!... it was okay... I mean, I feel that it's really unusual for some dude to be surrounded by noble girls who all think he's awesome. I don't think he's awesome. Why should they? Well, that's the summary. For all those who are in the midst of watching Princess Lover!, I suspect you will have the same mindset as me. Maybe. I'm not saying you must. That's just my opinion you can't change it either. For those who finished it and thought it was crappy, I love every anime so whatever. For those who finished it and thought it was awesome, it was okay for me. Yumeiro Patissiere reminded me of Shugo Chara (Party/Doki)!... oh please, a girl who is following her dreams of being a pastry chef is visited by some kind of Shugo Chara-ish baking spirit or whatever, Actually, I didn't watch it finish, cuz' I thought it was kinda poseur-ish to do that and copy Shugo Chara. But for all those who like Gakuen Alice and/or Shugo Chara, I recommend it to you. Well, more of the Gakuen Alice part. For me, I know that most of the 8 year olds LOVE Shugo Chara, and I don't think a lot of mums allow their 8s to go blogging. Lamune... Lamune was... good. It was calm, and serene. It reminded me of AIR a bit (OMG AIR was SOOOOO epic I cried, it's a must try for all those who love Clannad!). That's all. A guy and a bunch of girls. Not bad. Pandora Hearts... Pandora Hearts WHERE DO I START????!!!!! IT'S AWESOMELY AWESOME AND IT'S THE MOST EPICLY EPIC ANIME IN THE WORLD!!! Okay... Okay breeeeeeeeeaaaaaattttthhhhhhhhhe. So, this guy called Oz Bezarius (or Vessalius for some of you) is a noble, and at his coming of age ceremony, he gets attacked by some Shinigami, and for all of those who watch Bleach, you'll know they mean Death Gods. He gets saved by this girl, or rather, a chain (don't ask, watch), called Alice (or Alyss for some of you). Afterwards, all the mystery unfolds and all and then he goes off with Alice/Alyss, a guy called Raven (who's really... oh well, I don't want to spoil it), a girl called Sharon Reinsworth, and some REALLY epic guy called Xerxes Break (or Blake, for some of you), who is like, my favourite character. NOW. We come to... PRISM ARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I loveddddddddddd Prism Ark! It was a little of everything! A little bit of School Life, a little bit of Action, a little bit of Romance, a little bit of Comedy (actually, kind of a lot)... PERFECT MATCH DING DING!!!~~~~~~~~~ A must try for all those REAL otakus out there. If you don't really watch anime, go and watch Prism Ark, which can be watched best at Animeseason.com. If you have some trouble with the player, download Veoh Player. The link can be found near the video... Oh yeah, go watch it, and you'll see how awesome anime is, and WILL watch more. The ending was SUCH a cliffhanger!!!~~~

XOXO, a very happy ShugoOtaku

P.S: YAY FOR PRISM ARK!!!

FASHION; Put It All On Me

ShugoOtaku calls today: COCO CHANEL SATURDAY!!!

Hey all you blokes out there!! This is another segment of FASHION; Put It All On Me. Alright, how did I get the inspiration to do a FASHION; Put It All On Me segment on Coco Chanel? Well, that's simple. It all started with two of my subjects in school. One: Literature. My Literature teacher was talking about inspirational women, and then gave us our homework. We had to write an essay on our inspirational woman who had brought large change in the world. Of course, I chose Coco Chanel. We also had to do a Powerpoint Presentation on her and present it to the class (mine was a BIG success by the way). In the midst of making this presentation, I noticed something. While searching up pictures of Chanel's clothing and other products, it hit my mind that Coco Chanel is in fact the most inspirational woman in fashion (well, not that I didn't know, it's just that there are so many great women in fashion, it's just hard to pick). She gave us mini-skirts. She removed our corsets. She CREATED the all famous Katie Holmes bob. She was my fashion idol, and everyone else's and will always be remembered for many decades to still come. Then, I had to create a collage of our something (pretty much anything, my teacher said). While others did a collage on themselves, or a country, I did it on a fashion designer and her clothes. None other than Gabrielle Bonheur Coco Chanel. So then, here is her profile.

FULL NAME: Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel
BIRTHPLACE/DAY: Saumur, France on the 19 August 1883
PLACE/DAY OF DEATH (It's so sad, RIP Coco!): Paris, France on the 10 January 1971
FASHION LABELS (Yay!!!): Chanel

Coco Chanel inspired all of us inside, and you know it. And, to show your appreciation to this wonderful woman, drop by www.chanel.com to find out all about Coco Chanel?

Caution! Obsessive Girls on the Loose!!

Good afternoon everyone!! It's your one and only ShugoOtaku speaking! Right, today, it's really boring... I have nothing to do but blog right now. Oh, besides watching anime of course. Um... I'm currently letting those episodes actually load complete, so, I'm using this time to report to you dechu~!

Okay, report time! Weather: super rainy. Sky colour: Super dark. Emotion: Sorta bored. Want to: Eat chocolate and then watch my eppies! Okay, so, last night, my sister was watching this show called The Vampire Diaries. Let me get this straight, this isn't something lame like Twilight and everything. IT'S FRIGGIN' AWESOME. Ahem, back to what I was saying, it's an awesome show, you see. So my sister and I were just watching one of the latest episodes, when suddenly at the end [SPOILER SPOILER NOT GONNA SAY IT]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were like so shocked we sat on our seat for like an hour with out mouths dropped open like we just heard Lady Gaga say she had never drank a martini in her entire life (well, of course it's not true, but, this is just saying). Right, my sister, lasted longer in that phase. When I left to go and shower and everything, she was still there. Even when I started on my studying. Then, in the middle of that studying, I heard like, what was the LOUDEST shriek of shock I've ever heard in my entire lifetime. My brother was like, "WTH was that [SISTER'S NAME NOT STATED!]?!" OMG it was so funny I was like friggin' laughing and and and...! Whoops, sorry there. Alright, I am just telling you this out of... CAUTION?!

There are many crazy obsessed girls out there, so BE CAREFUL. They may be spoilers too! Like, my sister was like, "OMG Chuck Bass (from Gossip Girl) got [SPOILER] and his [SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER] got stolen too OMFG!!!!" And I was like, "Don't friggin' tell me that yet I haven't watched it damnit!" So, next time you meet an obsessive girl... you can:

1)Put on your iPod earpieces and try to block out her rambling with music
2)Keep talking so she can't have any time to talk
3)The best choice: RUN RUN RUN AWAYYYYY

Heh.

FASHION; Put It All On Me

ShugoOtaku calls today: ALEXANDER MCQUEEN MONDAY!!!

Hello all you blokes out there! It's me, awesome blogger ShugoOtaku. Anyway, I'm gonna do these 'FASHION; Put It All On Me' when I feel like doing it, or just when I have a genius idea. Right then, so, today, while I was listening to a tribute about a fore-father in my country who had just perished, and then I was thinking of all the important people who had tragically died. AND THEN. I reached the point of the name: Alexander McQueen. For all those that don't know, lucky for you, that I will post a profile of every fashion designer that I pick for every 'FASHION; Put It All On Me' segment. Right then, on to Alexander MvQueen's profile...

FULL NAME: Lee Alexander McQueen
BIRTHPLACE/DAY: Lewisham (London, UK), 17 March 1969
PLACE/DAY OF DEATH (It's so sad, RIP Alexander!): Mayfair, London, UK,
11 February 2010
FASHION LABELS (Yay!!!): Alexander McQueen, McQ

Now, Alexander McQueen was an amazing man, loyal to fashion, always pleasing his fans/customers. The reason of his death was that his mother had just passed away, and he went under deep depression, I guess he just loved his mama too much (he is SUCH a sweet man, not to mention SOOOO talented!). Okay, I didn't JUST find out that he died recently only. I found out on the date when he actually died. So... as a loving tribute from one of his loving and remorseful fans, why don't you go on over to www.alexandermcqueen.com to check out Alex's great pieces of art? I'm sure it will be a nice experience! There, you can see Alexander's women and men's clothing as well as go through the 'Alexander McQueen Experience'. Ciao for now, my little fashionistas...

XOXO, ShugoOtaku, author of Hana Tegami

P.S: FUN FACT... FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, LADY GAGA USED ONE OF ALEXANDER'S CLOTHING SET IN HER VIDEO OF 'BAD ROMANCE'. THOUGH, I'M SURE EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ALREADY.
