Kingdom Hearts 2 Sequel

Final Mix+ has been released in Japan yesterday selling up to 100,0000 copies. Fraser made me wait for GTA IV trailer and while I was waiting I was watching this. :)
The Animation was amazing, much better than GTA IV trailer though there are many question of whats going on...

The secret ending for Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+ has been released and boy it was damn cool.
I don't know if the sequel would be called Kingdom Hearts 3 so I'll named it KH2 sequel for the title.

Here is the footage of the original and Final Mix put together, enjoy:

Ok first off, Roxas, WTF!? Didn't he merged with Sora in the end of KH2?
And who is that guy who wore the Heartless uniform that Xehanort wore in KH1? He posesses a Keyblade and made another version of himself which is a hybrid of the Knight & Riku's Heartless uniform. Roxas was a Nobody of Sora which Roxas can use Keyblade as well, surely a Heartless of a Keyblade weilder can use a keyblade.
Also how come that the main knight looks like Xehanort and in the end his eyes glows orange...
The Knight in Final Mix+ was known as the super hard secret boss and he's beaten like this... Also Xehanort claims that he is his friend and released him from the prison...

"Ansem report 0-12
The Keyblade is said to hold phenomenal power.
One legend says it's wielder saved the world.
While another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it.
I must know what the keyblade is. A key open doors, Ansem report
Master of Keyblade
The Lost two
Memory of Xehanort
Chasers
Keyblade War
It all began with...birth by sleep.
The sealed tale of the truth
There is no coincidence in fate
Kingdom Hearts
All the fates has been set.
After a long time, each fate..."

GTA IV

Yah gave in work and here comes Easter Holiday!!!

Anyway last night the countdown of GTA IV trailer was crazy, the server crashed as soon as the countdown goes away.

Though I have the chance of watching today and I have to say that it looks damn cool though I'm not a GTA fan.

Graphics looks stunning, though the animation for the main character's eye seems lifeless and unconvincing. You can see this game has potentional without seeing the gameplay.

Mario & Sonic

Finally a game where Sonic and Mario co-exist in the same game!!

This also proves that the nintendo & Sega can approach a new way of making games together, very much like Square & Enix.

Fake Screenshot of a possible outcome...

"In August 2006, Sakurai and Miyamoto stated that Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog was the most requested third-party character to be included.[25] Around the same period of time, Tips & Tricks reported that Miyamoto has stated Nintendo has actually contacted Sega regarding this, and that they're awaiting a final decision.[26] Then, in the October 2006 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, he mentioned that "Sega's hedgehog would be the perfect addition to Brawl's cast." An article in the first issue of a Swedish Nintendo Magazine named "+N" makes a report that the known confirmed characters will be in Brawl, along with Sonic the Hedgehog as a playable character,[27] though the magazine's credibility is questioned. Yojiro Ogawa, the director and producer of Sonic and the Secret Rings was asked by the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine about to see Sonic appear in Nintendo's upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl and he said: "In my personal opinion, it would be great to have Sonic in it. But that would really involve Sonic and Nintendo's management, it's nothing to do with me!"[28] Yuji Naka, former head of Sonic Team and the chief of PROPE has said that he wants to see Sonic in the next game. At this point, it is unknown who can give the rights to Sonic."

So there you have it, it seems promising that Sonic will appear in Super Smash Bros: Brawl as Sega stated that their very keen in putting Sonic in Brawl.

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core Preview

A game for the PSP, Square Enix is milking the franchise of the FFVII.
First they made Advent Children(Film), Before Crisis (Mobile Game) and finally Dirge of Cerberus (PS2).
Crisis Core is the prequel to the original game, however the main character is none other than Zack. Zack in the original game was the ideal soldier that Cloud wanted to be. Both men were good friends till the events of Sephiroth in Nibelheim.
Zack saves Cloud and escapes to Midgar till his unfortunate death for trying to save a Vegatitive Cloud. His Buster Sword and techniques is now passed onto Cloud who assumed that he was a real Soldier but it was Zack memories. This caused Cloud to act mentally weak in the Advent Children events.

Anyway back to the real story of Crisis Core, it seems it plays a big role on Genesis who rebelled against Shinra in the Wutai war. Zack who is a 2nd Rank Soldier is in search of Genesis, he is accompanyed by his mentor Angeal who is a 1st Rank Soldier and also processes the original Buster Sword. Angeal never uses his Buster Sword as he claims that it would be rusted and be a waste. But he would use it to protect Zack and sacrifacing his life to save his friend and passed down the legacy.
1st Class Soldiers such as Angeal, genesis and Sephiroth were good childhood friends until they know their own truth that they process a wing. Zack will learn about Project G and Genesis and his way of life.

Spoiler:
In the secret ending of Dirge of Cerberus, a new character is shown. The new character is Genesis (played by Gackt), who is the forerunner project of Jenova and also the master creation of Deep Ground Soldiers.

Summer Hit Film

Spiderman 3

Venom seems to be the main villian in this film though I first thought it would be Harry. But the San,am seems to be the weakest villian yet to be shown.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End Trailer

Wow Chow Yuen Fat is featured as one of the Pirate Lord.

Transformer

Optimus Prime in flame pattern colours does not go...

300

"Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" concerns the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world's first democracy."

I came back a while ago, here I am typing my review about this film. First off, the good: Good gory scenes with decapitated heads and so on that shows the experience of the 300 Spartan.
Though I am quite concerned about the rhino and the elephant that was equvilent to a modern tank gotten destroyed very easily. Love the scene of two Spartan fighting side by side which is probably my favourite fighting scene.

The Bad - I feel as though the film didn't had enough human feel, I'm not saying the actor/ress are bad. The film could of portray more human side experience of the Arcania Soldiers that was frightened of the Persia soldiers or the scene where th Captain witness his son dying.

8/10

WTF!? it's snowing again

Another Stupid Update

NARUTO -ナルト- 疾風伝

"The second incarnation of the very popular NARUTO anime. This anime will feature Part II of the manga storyline which takes place two years after the events at the end of the Sasuke Retrieval arc (Episodes 107–135).
The story revolves mainly around Naruto Uzumaki`s and Sakura Haruno`s new adventures and their search for Sasuke Uchiha after he left Konoha-gakure (Leaf Village) to gain Orochimaru`s power. The plot also shows a more active Akatsuki in their quest for obtaining all the tailed beasts.
After his failed attempt to retrieve Sasuke, Naruto learns that circumstances have granted him slightly less than three years to prepare for a confrontation with Orochimaru, who has to wait that much time before he can transfer into Sasuke`s body.
Naruto also must prepare for his eventual confrontation with Akatsuki, who are after the demon sealed within him. To prepare, Naruto leaves the village and undergoes intensive training under Jiraiya. At the same time, Sakura becomes Tsunade`s apprentice, and Sasuke trains under Orochimaru. Thus, all three members of the original Team 7 are now training under one of the Legendary Sannin. "

Well I watch a few new episodes of Naruto Shipuudon and I got to say it has good animation after watching the second and third episode. The soundtrack is amazing, it sounds very much like an epic film like the Akatsuki theme. Though I'm not keen on same scenes such as Sasuke appearence in the first episode. Also Sakura turned out to be a powerful ally since in the first series, she was completely useless.

TOP 5 moments in Naruto 1st Series.

1. 3rd Hokage vs 1st Hokage & 2nd Hokage & Orochimaru
Best Animation Fight Scene!! The teacher fights against his pupil.

2. Zabusa & Haku
Most emotional Scene.

3. Naruto vs Sasuke

4. Sasuke vs Orochimaru

5. Rock Lee vs Kimimaro


I was happy that the fillers were over but what I didn't get is why they didn't they show a Kakashi Gaiden that could be a spinoff from Naruto instead of broadcasting 100 episode of fillers. They could easily made a 100 episode of Kakashi Gaiden...

Kiwi!

Ha ha 3 animation in a row...


A short clip by Dony Permedi while the music is composed by Tim Cassell.
Amazing and tearful animation about a Kiwi Bird.

Remember:
"no matter how absurd and seemingly out of reach your dreams are, what's stopping you from achieving them?"

時をかける少女

The Little Girl Who Conquered Time

“Toki wo Kakeru Shojo” is a juvenile novel written by Tsutsui Yasutaka. It became TV drama, movie, and Manga several times. However, this is the first time to become anime. The main character, Konno Makoto, is brighter and more easygoing than any other characters in movie or TV drama made before. At once she knows she acquires the power of “time leap”.

She uses it without hesitation to satisfy her own desire.

[Synopsis of the original novel] Yoshiyama Kazuko is in the 3rd grade of junior high. One day, she’s cleaning in the laboratory, she notices of the smell of lavender, and fainted. Since then, she acquires a mysterious power to travel time.

Well animation looks good but theres something about it I didn't like, I'm not too sure...

She and Her Cat ~Their Standing Point~

From the same creator for Beyond the Clouds ~the promise place and 5 cm per second ~a chain of short stories about their distance~
"An earlier independent work by Shinkai Makoto, the creator of Hoshi no Koe. Created in early summer 1999 using hand-drawn technique combined with 3D Software and AfterEffects for composition. The whole volume is colorless in order to reduce"



The clip is about 5 minutes it's an OVA (Original Video Animation), it's about the relationship between the cat and the female owner but it's through the perspective of the cat. Amazing for his first piece, the voice of the cat is the creator and also the cat's called Chobi who makes a Cameo appearence through his other work.

Updates

Well I think it's almost half a year since I enrolled in uni. How i feel, kinda bored with most lessons especially lessons where it's just presentation. I mean I'm doing an art course so shouldn't it be more active? I just feel it's the same since foundation...

Now uni is considering of doing a new course "Animation for Computer Game Design", I mean that's the thing I want to do. Well Steve Hunt told me yesterday that there's a 50/50 chance that this course would happen.
So if this course does happen, I would definetly change course because I'm not exactly happy with course at the moment.

A Fan-made based Metal Gear Solid trailer:

Heroes

I just had to add this in, I've been recently watchly due to my good friend Fraser recommended it to me. This is one amazing drama, at first I heard it from Fraser I thought it would be lame because it's for comic geeks and a complete ripoff from X-men.
But it is a fact that it's a rip off of X-men but they made it so good and one of the recent episode has a matrix feel yet it's so good.

The story goes where there are people with abilities and power that is involved with genes (something like X-men) but these certain people have different agendas yet they are linked by fate.
Some have issues like saving the world, protect their family, don't even want these abilites and obtaining more power.
For example, Hiro has the power of bending Time and Space meaning we can control time. He manage to travel to the future knowing that a nuke has exploded New York... So a Otaku Japanese guy has to travel to NY to stop this.

Another example is Slyer, a man who lust for more power by slicing people's head and found how their abilites works.
