7 episodes late but... Kampfer at a glance

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SOME NSFW PICTURES



So, I'm 7 episode late at giving a review on Kampfer at a glance.
When I first found Kampfer, it is still a Manga.
Yup. It was a 10 chapter manga sleeping in the depth of OneManga.com.
The drawing was kinda cute but is weird..

Well, she is supposed to be Akane, but.. Right now, comparing her to the anime Akane (Shown below), I can hardly tell that they are the same person.. Am I the only one with this problem?


Well, one day, someone told me that he is watching Kampfer.
So I asked him " Watch?"
And he told me that Kampfer had an anime and I was going "O.O"
Hahas. Watched the first episode and I laughed through it all.
So.. the story is something like this.

One Fine Day, Natsuru woke up to find himself turned into a her. So (s)he started to freak out. (S)he started to touch herself to make sure. Thn (s)he realised that her underwear changed also. (S)he is now wearing Shimapan. Thank god it's Shimapan.
Suddenly, the stuffed animal his crush Sakura Kaede gave him suddenly talked. It introduced itself as Hara Kiri Tora. Hara Kiri Tora tells Natsuru that (s)he is chosen as a Kampfer. And Kampfers are always female, so that's why Natsuru became a girl. And kampfer must fight.

So can you expect Ecchi and comedy with this anime.
Some pictures below^^






Hahas.
I'd said that Kampfer is an Anime that is worthy to watch if you like ecchi and comedy. There are fighting in this Anime, but usually it's comedy =3

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia

First time reviewing a game, and it's Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, starring my daughter, Shanoa.

She is Shanoa, my Musume. She looks kinda deadpan here. She works for this organisation called 'Ecclesia'. My daughter is working already!

Don't mess with my musume, she got 1337 stats.

And 1337 equiptments

And 1337 Weapons

Mai Musume love exploring. She somehow ended up outside Dracula's door. Hey! She leveled up!

hahas. Above pictures are taken a few seconds after i decided to make this post.

Soo..
Order of Ecclesia (OoE) is a Castlevania Game, like duh. But what's different is that, this time, it does not star a Belmont. Or anyone related. Oh! And first time in CV history, a girl is the main character of a canon game. I'm proud to say that my musume is the first girl to be the lead.
So, as I said before, my don;t mess with my musume, as she has some weapons no one had seen before. She uses these things call 'Glyphs'.
So, ripped off from CV wikia,

"Shanoa is able to absorb the powers found in glyphs found throughout the castle and within enemies. These glyphs give her magical weapons and abilities and consume her magic meter, which automatically replenishes itself. She can equip a glyph in her right hand, her left hand, and on her back, marking a return to the two-handed weapon style only seen in Symphony of the Night. Each usage of glyph absorbs magic meaning simple attacks use magic. However, equipping certain glyph combinations in each hand will give the ability to activate a "Glyph Union", which will execute a powerful special attack that consumes hearts instead of magic. Glyphs can be found in certain locations on the map, or can be dropped by enemies; at which point, Shanoa can absorb the glyphs simply by holding the up button. Additionally, there are Glyphs that affect the environment; Shanoa will have to absorb these in order to proceed. Besides from attacking, there are also glyphs that will boost skills, increase speed, transform Shanoa into an enemy creature, and so forth."

Ya, my musume is powerful.
So, the story goes like this.
===SPOILER WARNING===

"Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia takes place after Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, sometime in the early 1800s. As the Belmont Clan had vanished by that time, several organizations are created in order to research countermeasures against Dracula and his army's eventual return. Between these organizations, the most promising was the Order of Ecclesia who created a triad of magical glyphs named "Dominus". Shanoa is a young lady chosen by the order's leader, Barlowe, as the human vessel for Dominus, but just before the ritual is performed, the glyphs are stolen by Shanoa's best (and only) friend and fellow Ecclesia member Albus, disrupting the ritual and apparently costing Shanoa her emotions and memories. Upon awakening, Barlowe tells her of his version of the events and orders her to retrieve Albus and Dominus.

In her pursuit, Shanoa arrives in the deserted Wygol Village and finds out that Albus kidnapped its inhabitants and keeps each one of them imprisoned in a different location. As Shanoa rescues them throughout the game, she learns that Albus captured them to perform some kind of twisted experiment in them which involved draining samples of their blood. Each villager rescued provides Shanoa with tasks that once completed, provide new rewards. Although completing the tasks is not required to complete the game, its final areas are only unlocked when all villagers are rescued.

On two occasions, Shanoa manages to track down Albus, who willingly lets her retrieve one of the Dominus glyphs. But when she finds him possessed by the power of the third and final glyph, she is forced to battle him; it transpires his objective in gifting her with the glyphs was to learn her absorption technique. If there are villagers left to rescue at that part of the game, Shanoa retrieves the final piece of Dominus after killing Albus and immediately returns to Ecclesia to perform the ritual. The game ends with her untimely death and Barlowe's master plan completed.

However, if all villagers are rescued before Shanoa's final confrontation with Albus, his conscience fuses with hers when she absorbs the final glyph and she learns that Albus's true intentions were to find a way to defeat Dracula without Shanoa using Dominus, as he knew that it would cost her life if she used it. He also reveals that the reason he experimented on the villagers was because they were the last descendants of the Belmont Clan, and he (erroneously) believed their blood would have the power to help him control Dominus without it consuming him. As for her lost emotions and memories, he revealed that Barlowe used them as a sacrifice to gain control of Dominus, a fact he hid from her. He also revealed that Dominus is made from Dracula's own essence.

Confronting her master after learning the truth, Shanoa hears from him that his true objective all this time was to bring Dracula back to life using her as a sacrifice. After Barlowe is defeated, he ends up offering his own life to fulfill his ambition. With no memories left, no emotions left, and with the death of those who were most precious to hers, Shanoa sets for Dracula's castle to put him back into his slumber, and complete the task she has spent her whole life preparing herself for. Shanoa infiltrates Dracula's castle, defeats many of his underlings, and finally confronts him. She successfully defeats him using Dominus, but seemingly at the cost of her own life. However, Albus's spirit appears and reveals to Shanoa that while using Dominus demands a life in return, it need not be hers. He gives up his own in Shanoa's place after restoring her emotions and memories back, but not before he asks her to smile for him one last time. Albus's soul disappears, Castlevania crumbles into ruins and Shanoa escapes. It is also said that all records of Ecclesia vanished soon afterward."

===SPOILER ENDS NAO==

Yaa... so my daughter's been having a hard life. So I'll cherish her alot since I've adopted her ^^

Hahas

Points now,

Graphics ★★★★ 8.5
-I'll admit that my Shanoa looks a little weird to those who played the other 2D Castlevanias. But overall, the graphics are nice. Not as dark and gloomy as Circle of the Moon. I like the death animation of many of the monsters.

Enemies ★★★★ 8
-Well, I liked the enemies alot. Doesn't seem to reuse much. The bosses are especially fun to beat. Eligor is especially fun.

Weapons (In this case, all the Glyphs) and Relics ★★★ 7
- The weapons are nice. But most of the weapon glyph have the same speed, so their difference is just their attribute, strength and design. Lacks challenge, but i guess the difficulty of the game overall somehow makes up for it.What i am not happy about is the lack of a super jump glyph/relic. The spells are cool, especially Nitesco. They got this new thing called the Glyph Union, which is basically combines the 2 Hand Glyph you are equipping and turn them into something more badass. Love the Nitesco + Weapon Union.

Maps ★★★★ 8
-Maps are fine, the Magnes point in some of the maps are really fun to play with. But they can also be a pain in the ass sometime. Also, the Training Hall is very fun. A map full of platforms that requires one to be an expert in controlling Shanoa to pass ^^.

Overall ★★★★✭ 9.0
Really fun game. Should buy / download it.

Drama Night 2009, Drama Night 2009 Rehearsal and Open House 2009

Okay, as promised, this entire post is about Drama Nite 09. I'll be covering the rehearsal, the actual thing and CCHMS Open House. =x Hahas. So, from after the EOY, the secondary ones had been having their Drama Nite rehearsal. Okay, granted that I'm also a Sec one, but I'm from AVA club ^^" Means I get to skip rehearsal and help out in the Grand Auditorium for the Technical Runs. Actually, the rehearsals are kinda boring, since the teachers usually just want them to repeat everything again and again, and doesn't require that much help from the AVAs.

See? It got so boring that the AVA crew decided to play around with the roller chairs.
Giant Mixer O Doom. My first time playing with the mixer. Okay, I rephrase, first time I've played with the mixer for such a long period of time.
The Audi during the rehearsals. No one sitting, except for bags maybe.
My class. Posing for something. Seriously, although I am the stage manager, their script changes so fast that all I've done is to leave them alone for 2 days and I don't know what they are doing now. Oh, they looked kinda stupid posing like that in their uniform =x
Boon Tao AKA Boon Boon AKA Oat Noob is singing. He's the lead singer that screws up big time everytime he touches a mic.
Near the ending.Everyone gathering. Abigail's the most extra. Everybody wear uniform except for her, she wear PE.
Ronnie playing the piano for the BGM in the play. Ivan's "playing the guitar", but when i stood beside them to tell them to start playing, Ivan apparently did nothing. In the end, Mdm Yati excluded him=x He too extra le.
Elephants walking on the floor. The floor mics are picking up very loud noise.
Some people in charge of the AVA of their class came up. They bought a netbook. I want a netbook =x But i guess that is a want but not a need.
Sorry for the upside down picture. I can't be bother to flip it. A row of girls in black. All from the chinese group in my class.
Yimei sleeping. Hope she don't see this.

Lol, that's it for the rehearsals. The actual thing. Lol.. Can't take much pictures except during break because it's really way more hiong that during rehearsals. =="
Hahas.
Lunch on the first day. Finally know why they put so much ketchup on the rice. It's tasteless without it. The egg is nice though.
Alvin, Chon Wey and Eugene having their 'reunion dinner' in a corner.
Giant time skip to dinner time. Eugene decided to order McDonald's but no one knows the number. There's Eugene passing pushing the phone to Yan Lun. We asked Zhen Wei but he told us the taxi's number ==" Finally Eugene called McDees.
Here is Eugene reading our orders off a list. =x
The dinner school provided. Usual canteen food, just repackaged.
My class's "Butterfly Dance" thingy. Screws the whole play up IMO. A perfect play ruined by this dance.
Poster for my class's english group.
Some class acting.
The emperor got up of his throne!
I realised that all the Chinese Drama has a scene like this.

Lol.. I know it's quick.But, on to Open House now. I'm there for the AVA stuff once again
Reach school at 9.30 to help set up the Lecture Hall for the principal's speech. Here's the Principal talking. But it seems like the same thing as last year's, except his year, he talked more about the 70th anniversary thingy.
Choir singing in the Concourse. The AVAs could blend in =x Their shirt looks like ours.


Guitar playing something. Alot of problem with this group, since their playing brought alot of feedback, which is the screeching sound you sometimes hear when there is someone using a mic
And it was very soft too. We turned the volume of the mics to the max too.
Dance up next. They didn't seem to realise that they are a walking Panchira Parade.
SJABs slacking in one corner. No one visited their booth it seems, so i visited it and acted as though I am not a part of it. =x I went like "Ecuse me, can you you me more about your CCA?" with a face like this: =3
Board O Badges. No idea what they are for.
Sergeant Lennon, Sergeant Ziyang, Lance Corporal Lucas posing for photo. Somehow, they don't seem to know how to pose. The official Camera man got pissed of at them. No the official Camera man is not me. Is another guy. I'm just extra =x
Finally they posed. Took the photo from the wrong angle though. But I'm still a recruit.. so i probably would get killed by them during training if they caught me taking their photo. Wait.. looking at the photo now, I think Sergeant Ziyang caught me =x
The scouts booth next. Poor scouts, the entire booth, only one person taking care of it. Comparing it with the SJABs.. lol

hahas the end!

Random AVA stuff here.

As some of you might know it is the Drama Nite for the past 2 days and today. I've been staying in school for around 13.5 hours everyday, so I've been darn tired. But.. things are so fun!
Everyday in the morning, we would fight over on who to play with the mixer during the event. The mixer is something that controls the sensitivity, volume, frequency and whatnot of the microphones. Playing with the mixer, or as the current AVA club called it, "Playing the Piano" or "Being Beethoven" , is one of the most fun things ever.you get to enjoy the aircon,sit on a chair, relax somewhat. But it is the most important and difficult job, you have to be alert on everything happening and the slightest noise can disrupt you. So, you can slack while doing the most important job at the same time.
Okay, granted that the lights are also very important and you can also slack - only if the class currently acting sent a representative to do the lights for them. Even though lights are kinda slack, it's also very important for the play.

Lol. Would follow up on the actual thing soon!

A week of my Life 2

Here's it.

So i guess My week is kinda normal, except that i visited my grandma at the hospital more often this Week. She fell down and broke her arm and leg. She just had an operation on her leg and thank Haruhi that she is fine already.
Nothing much this week except for Drama Nite rehearsal. But i'll go over the rehearsals on another post together with the actual Drama Nite soon.
So, pictures time.




The above is my breakfast at i forgot which day. Soft boiled eggs with kaya toast. Recently fallen in love with soft boiled eggs. <33

===School, so no photos===

Back from school and had dinner at Ajisen Ramen in Tampines Mall before going to the hospital. Had cha-shu Ramen and some fried squid thingy. Doesn't taste bad, but i won't say that it taste very nice.

Walked to the hospital. Apparently, my grandma's fine already, so she's recuperating (did i spell it correctly?) in a lil' recuperating centre inside the hospital. Went there only to find out that she went to another hospital to do something. So, I just stayed in the cafeteria of the recuperating centre while waiting for her to be back. The nurse said she'd be back in 20minutes. I bought a can of iCafe Vanilla coffee and i loved it. Gotta find out if any shops near my house is selling it. Mum bought hot coffee.
The dustbin in the Cafeteria. Filled to the brim yet no one's here to clear it yet. And it's suppose to be a hospital, where everything is (supposedly) clean.
The lone store of the cafeteria. Not sure if i could still call it cafeteria. Sells drinks and baos.
Reception counter of the recuperating centre. No one's there. And no, they are not hiding behind the pillar.
See, they are really not hiding behind the pillar. What if people needs help? Who do the approach? The cafeteria lady?
The coffee mum bought. Looks like poo and taste like poo.
So after waiting forever, my grandmother is finally back. Apparently, my aunt called some ambulance service to bring her back. She said that they were speeding like there was no tomorrow. There's my aunt paying the ambulance fee.

More ramen for dindins (another day of course) this time, it's Tontoro Ramen. From the little japanese i can understand, it apparently is pork stomach? Or the mean somewhere around there? Taste like normal meat though. i got ripped off?
This time, Side dish is fried tofo thingy. Not bad.

Err.. my week is pretty much like that. Nothing much. Next week's "A week of my Life" is about Drama Night , SJAB on Friday and CCHMS open House entirely (because that's how I spent my week.) So, no "A week of my life" next week.
