Favorite cartoon: Adventure Time

-

I remember the first time I was exposed to Adventure Time.  I was looking through tumblr gifs and came across this strange-looking yellow dog with sparkly eyes.


I was somehow reminded of an overly exaggerated anime character.  I started to see this weird yellow dog more and more often and I wondered if it was some kind of internet meme.  Then I watched some Smosh videos and I recall seeing Adventure Time art that fans drew.

One day, I decided to look up this cartoon on youtube and watched a few clips with the odd yellow dog and found them to be hilarious!  The humor in adventure time appeals to adults and children alike and I was immediately drawn into this ingenious story.

I love the freshness and honest expression of the characters.  It makes the conversations so effortlessly funny.  The humor can be fairly dark and I find it interesting that words like 'freaking' and 'friggin' get past the censoring for children.  There are also other things that get past child censoring such as the flying Unicorn named Lady who mainly speaks in Korean and most people have no idea of what she's talking about unless Jake the Dog translates.  I've read in some discussions that what Lady says isn't always 'appropriate' for the younger viewers.  Although most of the more mature humor in this show will go over younger viewer's heads anyway as they're not old enough to understand the content.

I highly recommend this cartoon to anyone who loves and appreciates creative stories and animation.  This show can be funny depending on if you like dark humor filled with sugar-coated mature references and pure silliness.

Watch and be filled with happy memories...

Why does Lightning look so different in FFXIII Lightning Returns? [SPOILERS-!]

-

I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

Hello again!  My apologies for taking so long to make another 'Anime Food' post.  Enjoy! During my childhood days of watching Pokemon, I would often see Brock cooking this white stew thing.  It would look so yummy but I had no idea what it was..  And even though my entire family and extended family was Japanese, none of them ever made something like this.  (T__T)  The closest thing I got was corn chowder. Only recently did I discover that it's called cream stew and luckily, it's quite the easy recipe. ^^ I remember the very first time I made this.  I used a cream stew mix pack from the store (the one that has the blocks that you melt in the pot).  That turned out pretty bad so I highly recommend people make this one from scratch.  It's really does taste so much better this way.  I'm lazy so instead of having the pretty diced pieces of carrot, I threw in some baby carrots.  XD Close up ;3 I found this recipe on Little Japan Mama's rec

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt 1 & 2

Hooray for the 100th post~! (^0^) I finally got to watching the last installment of the Harry Potter series (The Deathly Hallows Pt2) last night with my dad (and may I add that he was so loud, especially on the quiet parts of the movie, I even had to elbow him and tell him to be quiet... And then he's laugh at inappropriate times, so embarrassing, thank God it was dark). Sorry to say but after viewing it for the first time, I really prefer Pt1. I don't know why, maybe it's because I liked the scenery better or those particular scenes opposed to the 2nd part of the movie. My favorite scenes were the one with the doe patronus and Harry & party running down the streets of London and when they infiltrated the ministry. I'd have to watch the last Hp movie again to give a better review because sometimes when I watch the movie again, I have a better impression of it. The last movie was full of effects and flare. I was trying REALLY hard not to compare it to th
