I've been meaning to...

So I've been meaning to post about some stuff but I graduated then came home and got really busy. I'm still kind of busy. So here's what's been going on.

I got 214 and 215 of Yakitate!! Japan done, 2 more one-shots (Akazukin Eliza and Home Stay Steady) , another Berserk, and I've been slacking on Usogui. I'm going to get to it. I have the first volume translated and set by next friday.

Going ons...

As soon as I got home, my mom started on me about getting a job. I've applied for 8 part times that could potentially fulltime, and for 1 "real" job. I'm going to go to a job placement agency on Tuesday and hopefully that'll go well.

I've got a ridiculous amount of stuff to watch, and there just seems to be no time to do it all. That plus the translation stuff plus video games, I don't know how I'm supposed to do it all.

Me and Roadside are going to do a mini triathlon. To prepare, I'm going to start going to the gym soon. First I'm going to do some group classes, and then I'm going to get into a real goal oriented practice pattern. I have to look at this book I'm borrowing to plan out exactly what and when and how much and all that stuff. It's going to be fun, and I (should) be getting in shape.

So, I had an amazing moment. It was when I was watching Haruhi Season 2. God damn that was amazing. I guessed what the plot of the ep was going to be because I had read a short synopsis of one of the novels before, but it was still awesome. There is something about that show that to me is just.. amazing.

I went to book off and kinokuniya in New York recently.I got:

Bakuman 1,2

Eyeshield 21 1, 2

Jojo's 4

Saint Young Men 1

Ima ai ni yukimasu(book)

I also completed the translation for the One Shot "BLUST!!" a little while ago. It's by the writer of Eyeshield 21. I'll post the link when FH finishes the typesetting

So I finally beat Super Robot Wars K recently, and I've been meaning to write my feelings on it, then school got crazy, and I got asked to do Blust.

Right from the start, I'd like to say, I really liked this game. I've played a couple other SRW games before and although it would have been nice to have some voice acting, I'd say this one was really good. Let's start with the series list

• Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
• Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny
• Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: Stargazer 
• Mazinger Z
• Haja-Taisei Dangaioh
• Overman King Gainer
• Cyber Troopers Virtual On: MARZ
• Shinkon Gattai Godannar!! 
  
• Shinkon Gattai Godannar!! Second Season
• Fafner of the Azure 
• Zoids Genesis 
• Gun X Sword 
• Gaiking: Legend of Daikuu Maryuu 
• Steel God Jeeg 

At first I couldn't really get into the series list. Kind of tired of Gundam Seed characters, didn't know a lot of other ones, and no Go Lion. A very serious lack of Go Lion. But as I played along, I started to appreciate the cast more, and then got interested in the actual shows.

So the story starts out with you,　Mist Rex, meeting the fine people of Danner Base. He pretends he has amnesia, but they put him to work as a low level mechanic and gopher anyway. For some reason, The Mazinger crew is attending Anna and Go's wedding. Of course it gets attacked. Kouji(Go Danner) and Shizuka roll out, but get defeated in a moment. You fight with Mazinger and stuff and then Mist Rex shows up and saves the day.

So the story is pretty lame. But everything else is really awesome. The animations for the fights are really good. The gameplay itself, while majorly the same is of course fun. One change they made is attack combo works differently. Noe if you have the appropriate level of attack combo, you can attack up to one, two, or three people in the range of the attack(plus their support unit). I do have a few complaints though. 

First, the game can pretty much be played with just Mist Rex, Van, Kira, Gainer, and Shin/Kenji, depending who you level up. I'm actually on my second run through now using only the listed above. 

Second, the levels are a bit too long. Near the end there are 2-4 reinforcement deploys. Also pretty much the last 5 levels are 2 parters, so the fact that the total mission count is lower than the last game is a bit misleading. 

Third, they changed it so that if you press B during an animation, you don't see the battle result. You only see that when you skip the demo. 

Next up, more scans, and Hammerin' Hero!
