Francois?

Posted under Anime/Manga & Humor & Ranting

In episode 177 of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars we meet a teacher who discovered a comet a few years ago. Well in the episode he mentions that he named the comet Francois…

Francois?! Girlfriend!? No way jose! Francois is a boy’s name! How do i know? thats my dad’s name :) Francois is French for Francis or Frank. Francis being the masculine form of the word. So for everyone out there is you meet a girl and her name is Frances she’s a girl spell it with an “E,” if it’s a dude spell it with an “I”. I hate when people spell my name wrong lol.

But back on the subject, maybe the translators got it wrong and it was supposed to be Francoise which would be Frances in French. But there is a difference in the pronunciation of the name as well, but then they are japanese so if they have trouble speaking English, they might have trouble with French as well.

Starlight-o Honeymoon Therapy Kiss-u~

Posted under Anime/Manga & Figures

So I’ve been catching up on Sailor Moon, I finally finished SuperS. I’m glad i got that done and over with I could never stand Chibiusa. I don’t know why but i just never really liked her character all that much. At least now with Stars she’s gone and it’s getting to be mor of the sailor moon i always loved. I will say I think sailor moon might have been the series to start my obsession with getting anime related toys and such. I had this exact set when I was little.

plus two Dolls, Sailor moon (i learned how to braid hair using sailor moon as my practice hair)

and Sailor Venus (i think she got a hair cut courtesy of a neighbor of mine)

But now that i’m re-watching the series I catch myself skipping through the horrible attack calls. Like I’ve only seen her yell “Moon Gorgeous Meditation” like 5 times at the most the rest of the time I skip it. But I do like Starlight-o Honeymoon Therapy Kiss-u

Sadly I didn’t keep my Dolls or wand, I gave away the dolls to a girl who was obsessed with Sailor Moon in 6th grade and I lost my wand somehow…

I almost died today…

Posted under Life & Ranting

On my way home from work today a Golden Retriever darted out in front of me. I swerved right, missed the dog, then I moved the steering wheel a teeny bit left and my car started to spin out of control. Mind you this was in the middle of the freeway! Thank god for these fires… Why you ask? If not for the fires the freeway would have had more cars and someone might have hit me, but since most of San Diego is burned down no one is driving and the freeway was empty. If there were more people on the road I might have gotten hit by another car while my car was doing donuts. I’m glad to say I’m totally fine I’m not dead, only a few bumps and bruises, my leg is swollen but I’m still alive. My dad asked my I swerved in the first place and just didn’t hit the dog. First, the poor dog, not his fault that he has no idea what cars are, or what freeways are. Second the dog was so huge my car would have been totaled, I can’t afford another car, and I need to work. Plus I just got my license back from having it suspended. (I didn’t pay a few tickets I had gotten so they suspended it but I got it back on Monday) I was so scared once the car started to swerve, it went straight for the center divider and I knew then if it jumped the railings I would have died so I swerved again to the right, then to the left and then it just started spinning in circles. My life didn’t flash before my eyes but I had a few thoughts. Of course like “I don’t want to die” was a first one to run through my head. Then came “I haven’t lived enough,” the “I want to get married, and have kids,” the “I still want to travel” and the ever so popular, “I don’t want to die.” Yeah I know I said “I don’t want to die” twice, but it’s an important one. I thought it a lot, lol. But in all seriousness I’m not to eager to go on any road trips soon, thankfully tomorrow is my day off and I don’t have to worry about even driving to work. I’ll ask Shawn to take me on Friday most likely since I’m still too freaked out now to even think about getting behind the wheel of another car.

I’m getting sick…

Posted under Figures & Ranting

I hate getting sick. Then again who likes to get sick? I feel it coming; dizziness, upset stomach, headaches, Plus when i get sick everything tastes like crap. I had some Chicken noodle soup and I love Chicken noodle soup, but it tasted like crap. Well not like i can miss work, so staying home isn’t an option, I need to get better so I can work so I can get more FIGURES!! I canceled Nia and Louise, I preferred post time skip Nia to kid Nia. Plus the fact that i’m broke doesn’t help the situation. They re-released the Max Factory Rin Kokonoe figure, but then I’ve only seen the OVA of Kodomo No Jikan, and read like the first chapter. What if I end up not liking the series and I already have the figure? Do I go through the Hassle of selling it off… Or do I risk it and buy her anyways? Well I can’t right now anyways I already said i’m broke :(. I’m really behind on the new season, but i do hate waiting for subs, or pointlessly watching shows I know nothing about. I’m only really keeping track of Clannad and Myself;Yourself. So I’m going to get caught up on older series while I wait and see if something else grabs my attention. So i’m watching Sailor Moon SuperS, I was watching it a while back but stopped because the whole circus deal and the horse got boring, but I keep hearing amazing things about Sailor Moon Stars so i’m gonna try and get caught up with Sailor Moon SuperS and so I can move onto Stars.

So I’m jumping on this bandwagon as well! I’m making my own list of top fifteen favorite Anime Opening songs. My only rule, not from the same series. I chose my songs not only based on the music but how they fit with the tone of the series, and how the animation was done to the music.

I really like this ending song

Posted under Anime/Manga & Music

The Clannad Ending is really sweet, it’s about families, and people as a whole. It’s about togetherness and they use the Dango Families as a metaphor. I think it was done beautifully and So far it’s been my favorite ending to a series in a long time.

Haruhi Sold as well.

Posted under Figures

For $60 and with $20 shipping I make $80. Thats good to me I payed like a little less, so I didn’t make a profit but at least I got rid of her for cost. I will admit that part of me is sad, she may not have been my best figure but when I got her I was happy and it made me feel like I was throwing away the memories while packing her up. This is all for the better and also this way I can pay off some bills, plus maybe also get Asakura anyways so I can have all the Max Factory figures.
