AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Oh wow, this was by far the best Sunday morning ever!!!!!! EVER!!! TBS was lagging and pixelating but I DID NOT CARE because I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN!!!! With the anime really, was always in love with the manga. I'm currently downloading a high res RAW so I'll post in more detail about my reactions to the ep later when I have a clearer sense of what's happening BUT THE OP AND ED OMG!!!!!!!!!! THE ANIMATION!!! I CAN'T EVEN--!!!!! The opening is absolutely gorgeous and the ending is so fucking adorable, I am so overflowing with joy ;mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm;

Plus I joined in in the live stream chat over on fm_alchemist which made things ten times more fun with all of our combined awesome nerdyness X333333

IT WAS LIKE TEN CHRISTMAS MORNINGS COMBINED IN SOME KIND OF HEAVEN-SHATTERING EXPLOSION!!!!!!! <33333333333

I don't how I'm gonna get any work done today ;m; But I must...

Anyways, more later. Breakfast time! *spasms off to the kitchen*

EDIT:

Okay, so throughout the day I have evolved from pixelated live stream, to .avi, to delicious HD .mkv, to delicious HD .mkv mit SUBS. And here is what I have to say:

( I'm guessing this is going to contain spoilers... )

Getting work done today was so difficult DDD:< But I got some After Effects crap done. Still the most difficult scenes left to animate though, plus I have to find new effing music >__> I may have to resort to turning off the internet tomorrow ;___;

Yo yo yo, delayed Berlin and Pictoplasma pictchoooors dawg~


( EXTREMELY HEAVY IMAGE POST IS EXTREMELY HEAVY! )



So, it is the first day of the Easter Holidays, and I am off for two weeks, which will be filled with me doing stuff for the four deadlines I have due the week I come back, one of which is my movie :/ My aim is to get it done and dusted this week so I can get working on the other crap the second week. And I did nothing last night and very little of it today >___> I had a horrible dip of confidence feeling that everything I produce is shit which I end up being overly precious of and I will never make any artistic progress if I continue in this way, so that sort of finished me off for today :/ I might do a bit more later when I finish up here though...but yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll get it done by the end of the week if I get my damn ass in gear >_> So despite this going to be a pretty busy two weeks, I really was looking forward to this break, I was absolutely exhausted last week, both physically and emotionally D: I feel much better today though~

I also need to send out CV's this week in a feeble attempt to get a new job in these times of global econmic collapse :/ If I don't get a new job, I wonder if Gala will take me back? I promise (that seems sceptical) I won't complain anymore, I just need the money D: Germany has left me more broke than ever, you would not believe the ammount of money I have left in my account ;_;

I want to start playing JFA again over this break too, I feel like I've fallen out of the Ace Attorney fandom somewhat and it makes me deeply sad :,(

BUT IN MOST IMPORTANT NEWS FMA BROHOOD PREMIERS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, this past day and a half this wave of pre-Christmas-like excitement has just gripped me, it's wonderful X33333 Probably because I've downloaded KeyHole TV so I can get up for 8am tomorrow and watch it live on TBS, even though the quality won't be great and I won't understand the majority of what's been said said, save the usual weeabo fanwords >_> BUT IT'S THE EVENT THAT COUNTS! I seriously hope it will be good, the footage they've released so far is quite tantalising <3 So yes, early Sunday morning tomorrow~ I'm actually watching TBS right now, they just seem to be constantly streaming adds :/ I saw Beyonce dancing around flinging water everywhere earlier, then Catherine Zeta Jones advertising Lux shampoo ;_; Western celebrities endorsement influx much? But I caught the end of an ad for Yui's song yesterday!!! :DDDD

So yes, there will be much fangasming tomorrow if KeyHole TV doesn't decide to fuck up on me :/

Finally got around to making those "Gakuen Datenroku" Kaworu icons last night and this morning :D I think I got a bit carried away, I made, like, fifteen, which is the most I've ever made ;__; I quite like how they turned out in general though, hopefully I'm improving at this....I don't know how some people get the inspiration to make, like, fity-something icons though : O


Anyways, enough stalling, here's a preview:


( The Ode to Joy is great, isn't it? )


X-posted to fifth_children and ngevangelion

OH MY FUCKING GOD FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST CHAPTER 84 IS OUT ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!?!??!?!?!?!?! IT'S SO EARLY!!

*brain implodes*

Just read the RAW ;________________________________; Proper discussion will come once the scanlations are out.

But just ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod X3333333 STUFF IS STILL HAPPENING!!!!!!!!! LOTS OF STUFF!!!

My vocabulary has diminished greatly since the summer began :"D Thank God I've started reading again X"D

Me talk pretty soon! Yes!

I just want to say one more thing though even though I know this has been said many times before after the infamous "bath scene" a few chapters back, but when did Winry get such great boobs? I can't over them :"D They're kind of just suddenly...there. But in saying that, Edo's got some fine shoulders on him too X33333

Hehe, episode four of Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei parodies Asuka's battle scene against the new Evas in End of Evangelion, one of the many scenes of that movie I found fascinating yet very disturbing. I still can't watch all of that part...anyways, how bizarre yet brilliant, like many things in that anime. But that's why I love it <3

I think the time has come to make some more lists....I like making lists...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Will be constantly changing throughout the summer. Recommendations are, eh, always welcome :"D

Hmm, I made these IDEA (<3) icons a few weeks back and they turned out really nice, but I didn't want to post them until I had some other icons to go with them. So I ended up making only 5 icons from chapter 83 of FMA ;__; Blahhh, I dunno, I was low on inspiration and motivation and all the other stuff you need to make nice icons.

Hope you might enjoy anyway...
