The return of Joppy's Collection: Blu Ray Jitters

No, I am not dead. Not yet, anyways.

Today I decided to Test out my new Video card and BD Player and get one of the first BD releases that Funi did: One Piece Movie 8(Alabasta). And so, The stage is set for Haruka S1 BD.

Also, I picked up the complete Boxset for the Slayers.(Not including Revolution) and Re-picked up Haruhi. The Mikuru Movie makes a lot more sense, now with “sigh” getting close to being finished.

And…this past weekend, I found the three disks to The GAINAX Mindtrip FLCL.(OOP, so a very nice find.)

Sept 21….

—————————————–And then————————————————————————————-

In the past week, I got the BD of the one series I like the most: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu BD. Will be getting S2 in Dec.>_>…

1080p Haruka = INFINITE LOVE!

Blog Update: Sept 09

Like the others around the Dasaku Blogosphere, I have returned from the near-Abyss. Took a little break from blogging (Almost a month, except for one “Catchup post”)

Speaking of which, I have dropped blogging Saimoe for the first time in the three years I blogged it. I have no motivation to blog on it. The K-on girls are out, the Nogizaka sisters are out. They were the moe of the moe, and they got defeated for the lulz. Sorry, but not interested this year. I will only support the final results if from Saki, Nodoka wins, or Hinagiku wins, otherwise, BLAH.

As you can tell, my Header has changed again to a sleeping Haruka. I am preparing for the love which is Season II of Haruka not to mention finishing S3 of Minami-ke, Nabbing the last ep. of endless eight(For continuity reasons, of course).

Next month, I will be watching Haruka II, The Shana OVA, Kobato(CLAMP and Madhouse.), Kiddy Girl-and,  and perhaps a Shounen title like Fairy Tail(Start it back at the beginning and not Far behind like I am w/Bleach,(Still back at Soul Society Arc)).

Keep watching for an Overdue Joppy’s Collection post.

Saimoe 2009 Main Tournament Rounds C3 C6 C9 C12

And thus, Haruka Love takes a giant hit…..by tactical votes.

roup C03:
1st 488 votes | Sakamoto Mio @ Strike Witches
2nd 379 votes | Yoshino @ Minami-ke Okaeri
3rd 190 votes | Asakaze Risa @ Hayate no Gotoku!!

3rd 153 votes | Itou Nobue @ Ichigo Mashimaro Encore
4th 105 votes | Makimura Shiori @ Hayate no Gotoku!!

I guarantee if Mika hadn’t won already, and Kyou wasn’t ready to stomp, Haruka would have won easily. But…..Haruka was taken out. In the first Round. By Konoka, A girl I say has no chance in hell of beating either Mika or Kyou. I smell a horde of tactical votes, and I don’t like it. Not one little bit. I thought this was SaiMOE, not SAITACTICS.

Group C12:
1st 584 votes | Touyoko Momoko @ Saki
2nd 414 votes | Kotobuki Tsumugi @ K-ON!
3rd 152 votes | Aruruu @ Utawarerumono OVA

And Another K-on character loses, this time to the Saki fanbase, which is actually no big surprise.

Note: Jop will be on vacation, so Round D will be posted on Sunday.(When it restarts, it seems)

2nd 297 votes | Miyazawa Yukine @ Clannad ~After Story~
3rd 187 votes | Fumika (delivery person) @ Shigofumi: Letters from the Departed
