And so i spent the Valentine's at finishing this anime Shingetsutan Tsukihime.






Valentines? What Valentines? Isn't it just another fad exploited by commercialism and consumerism?

And who says one must have a special event right at Feb 14th and not on other days before it. One might save on not spending a lot of unnecessary money that way.

And who says we can't have a Valentines Day everyday, or once a week, or once a month.



That said, i am single, and i am proud to be one.
With my (add degree of extent here) self-centered character i would probably be more suited to enjoy the freedom alone and would also not have to worry about not participating enough, or worry about whether i am being too selfish and not caring about the other partner's feelings or not.

And i told my cousins plus some other people who had asked me, "Eh no girlfriend arh?" , that i'd really prefer being single.

They all replied," Lol wait till you get one, then you won't think this way already."


Heh, wishful thinking.













Ok back to Shingetsutan Tsukihime.


It's great, really really great. It's being a while since i last enjoyed an anime that isn't a comedy type. The last that i could remember was Code Geass (of course plus Code Geass R2).

I guess ones that can make me jerk a tear or two or even a river for more awesome ones i had watched in the past really works for me huh.

Too bad, again, Tsukihime is only a 12 episode anime series, and maybe it'll be even better if it was extended to 15 plus episodes to allow for more character development of the cast. Or maybe even to 26 episodes since there is still a red-haired lady who didn't get much mention or background story in the anime. And of course, i want more Arcueid.

I was inclined to play the visual novel version of it for a more complete story, but when i saw the artwork (even though it's an eroge, sadly), i think i would leave it aside, as my tolerance for artworks/drawings that are "non-modern" or not drawn properly is quite low.

And again, i am lazy to summarise all the content (Go wiki it if you have spare time), but i wanna point out about the romance between the main female character in the anime version and the male protagonist. It's that of a (female) vampire and a human.

This kind of romance interests me.




(And before you fangirls go scream "Twilight", please don't, the concept of Twilight disgusts me, since

1. I only accept female vampires
2. I hate brainless bitches, especially if they are the stereotypical Hollywood american bitchy love-strucked girls)
3. ......so on and so forth... after i picked up the courage to tolerate getting disgusted for the length of that movie (to correct my misunderstanding about Twilight? Nah nah nah look at "1." two lines above) )


(Back to topic) And yes these kinds of supernatural stuff interests me, especially romance when there is usually a gap in lifespan between the supernatural being and the human. Makes me sad thinking about the short, ephemeral existence of humans and how they have to part, at least in the romance in the fiction. (Though in the Tsukihime anime, the female vampire was killed by the bad guy. Sobx.)

Which is why, i have the desire to work towards extending the human life to as long as possible.
(Irl, not pertaining to supernatural beings already, but the death of the loved ones we hold dearest)
And yes i do acknowledge the possible consequences that will happen if one day we can really live to double of our lifespan now (assuming aging process is proportioned similarly), like whether the Earth still has the space to accommodate the endless desires and consumptions of our race. But i plan to run away from those.

(Assuming i have the chance to actually go research, damn it results day is probably near and i am gonna hate it.)





(Back to topic) Eh, ok i lost track of what i was gonna type when i sidetracked, but never mind.

Next to watch, will be Fate/Stay Night. I watched the first episode of it from a long time ago, maybe many years ago. I am not sure if i would like such "proxy battle" type anime, plus i predict that there will be a sad ending to this anime.

Oh well, i guess i'll watch it anyway.

Currently hooked on classical Touhou music arranges from TAMusic. Seriously, they are awesome.

Touhou Fan.


Listens mostly to Touhou doujin music

(Because the creator of Touhou (ZUN) is damn talented, his BGM for the game series are godly, including the game series he made itself, and hence many dedicated groups of musicians do arranges of his original BGM)

("Arranges" are one level higher than "covers")


Very Japanese-oriented, absolutely not Korean-crazy like the crowd out there

Watches Japanese anime



Wants to do, learn and try many, many things, but finds it hard to find the time, commitment, and energy to do all of that


Life is short, and i want mine to be especially so
