Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru episode 6: Dawn of the golden witch

Good morning.
At last, it is the opening of the game by that Battler-sama.

Can Battler-sama play the important part of a gamemaster magnificently or not? Let us see to the fight from the opposite side of the chessboard.

The difficulty level no longer exists.
These are no longer hints but confessions.

I will be posting summaries and screenshots as I go through the game. The width of this blog isn’t big enough for the screen shots, so the posts, divided into Parts, are hosted on LiveJournal.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru episode 5: End of the golden witch

Update 12/27/2009: Working on Part XII. Since the English patch for EP5 is out, I’ve written up my theories about various murders in the game here.

Good morning.
It’s a new game by a new gamemaster,
so please take your time enjoying it.

Naturally, the game has already reached its climax.
The culprit is cornered and can only wait for checkmate.
So, indeed, there must be something that is able to look over all.

The difficulty level is Easy.
At this point, what will you be deceived by…?

Happy Halloween 2009



First time attempt at carving a pumpkin.

I almost carved a yukkuri head before settling on something more amusing. Click on either half for bigger photo.

Approaching 5,000,000 Kiriban

This site is now quickly approaching the 5,000,000th hit mark, but I’m currently busy with trying to finish Umineko in time before school starts next week. So I don’t think I’ll make a kiriban gift this time. Continue reading

Going to Kumoricon 2009

A very late notice, but I’ll be attending Kumoricon 2009 in Portland, Oregon, from September 5th through 7th.
If you make it there and see something like the above picture, that might be my group.
I’m throwing together a costume in three days.

*Too Busy With Cosplay*


Still missing a few things, namely the gigantic boomerang

Cosplay + Katawa Shoujo


I apologize for that I have barely put up anything in the past month or so, because I’ve been quite busy with cosplay and Katawa Shoujo. I’ve been working on two costumes and I still have three or four more to go for other friends by the Anime Evolution deadline. Just as I thought I was finally finding some free time and being able to go back and write for Sankaku Complex again, Katawa Shoujo hit like a truck. I didn’t expect much from 4chan, but the game was surprisingly enjoyable, and I’d definitely play the full version when it comes out. As a result, I’ve been researching the feasibility of a Katawa Shoujo cosplay and making a bunch of fan stuff for the series. I contributed very minor things to the game back in 2007 and corrected the kanji for all of the names at one point in 2008, but I’m unsure if how much of that is still around now. I can’t remember whether I suggested anything else or not.

….Nevertheless, I still don’t understand how Hanako is so popular amongst men. She’s my least favorite heroine. My ranking goes like:
Shizune = Emi > Lilly = Misha > Rin >>> [wall] >>> Hanako

Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object

touhou12
In true ZUN fashion, I drew this under MS Paint.

I’ve been playing the demo version of the latest Touhou game, Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object. I admit that I absolutely suck at the game (and most games, for that matter) and I still haven’t beaten the Stage 3 Boss on Easy Mode yet. It took me two months of playing to beat the Stage 3 Boss of the last Touhou demo, for Subterranean Animism. At least I’m doing slightly better with Touhou 12, having made it to Stage 3 within the first day of playing the demo.

Now ladies (and gentlemen, you know who you are), start your sewing machines… The first cosplay of the newly introduced character can’t be more than a week away.

Winter 2009 Anime Thoughts + Quick Poll: Which Cosplay To Do? I.5

The fall winter 2009 anime season started almost two months ago and I’ve seen everything that I’ve wanted to check out in the new season…and frankly it was disappointing. Winter 2009 barely offered anything good. Sora Kake Girl is boring; Sunrise should’ve just made some crack spin-off of Code Geass instead. KyoAni’s offering, Sora o Miageru Shojo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai, a handful to type out, is merely a display of how far the studio has come since Munto. The first episodes were essentially rehashes of Munto animation. I’m not a fan of magical genre, so I’ve stopped watching that after one episode (the bad animation didn’t help).

4,000,000 Kiriban Suzumiya Haruhi-chan Giveaway

Warning: I had at least two people submitting exactly 3,000,000 hits for the last kiriban giveaway, so that contest turned into moot. Please, no cheating this time.

This site is now quickly approaching the 4,000,000th hit mark, so I’ll be giving a kiriban gift to the person who gets the 4,000,000 hit. Who will the lucky visitor be?

Stuff From 2004

This is ridiculous.

I logged into my ancient Geocities account after guessing through my security question by sheer luck (Who was your childhood hero?) and found that I did leave a few things behind in my account, dated from 2004.

The old site I ran was called “Hitorijime Anime Lyrics”, the vestiges of which can be found on a handful of lyrics submission sites.

Here are some of the things that I found: (God, my art sucked)
