Hello, and welcome to Yamcha's Anime universe! Some of you may know me from visiting my Myotaku page (username: Yamchaa), but if you havent visited or dont know me, then thats cool too lol. Im a big anime fan and ive been one for as long as i can remember. I collect anime movies, magazines, figures, all things related to anime, and im proud to say that i have a pretty hefty and diverse anime collecion which is usually constantly growing, and with this new world i hope to make new friends and spread my knowledge of anime to whoever may need it ^_^
Ive been meaning to post a lot sooner than today, but the days pass pretty quick i suppose lol, so it has been a while since i last posted on this world.
Lately i havent been doing much, besides sleeping alot and playing videogames. Ive caught up on some anime and ive also bought some new movies to help pass the time.
Ive been pulling out some of my older videogame systems more frequently the past couple of weeks and playing some of my older games lol. The First old game i played recently was called WCW Vs. The World. It was one of, if not the first wrestling videogame realeased for the original Playstation Console. Many years ago i bought the game from a friend's cousin for 10$ and i felt that i had the greatest videogame ever lol. Me and my friend and his brother & cousin would play that game all day and night when i stayed over at his house on the weekends during the school year lol.
It is an obsolete game now, but back then it was the premiere wrestling game to have because it had so many wrestlers to choose from, plus great gameplay and awesome visuals (at the time). It's a relic of the past now, but i still play it from time to time to relive those nostalgic moments of bitter feuds and top of the line competition from back in the day :) Here is a video of the game i found on Youtube :)
WCW VS. The World for Playstation - I just loved the background music for this game! :)
I also managed to make time to play my copy of Gundam Battle Assault 2 for the original Playstation system as well. Back when the newest system was the original Playstation, I would play this game day in and day out lol. I would usually go back and forth from this game to WCW Vs. The World, and mix some other games in between lol. This game was the first anime related game that i was ever able to buy, and i still have it to this day. I mostly used the Gundam Maxter (G-Gundam), Nu Gundam (Char's Counterattack), and whichever Tallgeese version that was on that game lol. I tried playing it a few days ago and i couldnt remember any of the controls lol, ill have to play it again and look up the moves online sometime, thats for sure lol. Here is a video of the game that i found on youtube :)
Gundam Battle Assault 2
Ill certainly have to post more videogame stuff up really soon thats for sure :)
Moving on to the anime ive watched, Ive mostly been watching the anime movie/series that i recently bought called Heroic Legend of Arslan Im so glad that i found it at a Pawn shop a couple of weeks ago because ive really grown to enjoy it. It is alot like the older Final Fantasy storylines, with Record of Lodoss War all rolled into one. So far it is an awesome anime series and it continues to get better. Ill be sure to keep you all updated on it, but for now - here is a video of the first episode i found on youtube. The dvd set i have is becoming one of my favorite anime sets that i own :)
Heroic Legend of Arslan
The other movies that ive bought over the past couple of weeks are
Hamburger Hill
Apocalypse Now : REDUX
The Blues Brothers
The Gene Generation
I havent watched The Gene Generation yet, but the cover on the dvd case looked interesting, so hopefully it isnt a waste lol. Im just glad today is Friday, because after tonight ill be off work for the weekend, which is always good lol. Plus ill probably do some major cleaning and organizing to my room, so hopefully i can get all of that done too.
Last night while i was on lunch at work, I used my Xbox360 to watch the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 episode 1
No matter how many times i watch this dvd, i just lose myself in it. Watching it on a 46 inch Flat screen tv at work was truly an experience, and it showed me that no matter how old i get, or how much anime i own - Some things never get old or fade out. Watching that dvd renewed my quest to eventually buy the entire series that has always eluded my anime collection. Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 is perfect - there isnt anymore i can say lol.
On a sad note, it really sucked to hear that ADV has gone out of business. Most of the anime i own was distributed by them - especially some rare stuff. Im thinking of getting some of my ADV related products and posting them up here on this world as a tribute to their contribution to the world of anime. Ill see if i can pay homage to some other anime companies that have fallen along the way as well, so be sure to check back :)
Well, i suppose that will be all for today's post, it looks like ive rambled quite a bit, thats for sure lol. Its good to post again and let you guys know what ive been up to - hopefully you all havent forgotten about me lol.
thanks for visiting and i sure hope to chat with you all soon :)
It's good to be posting again today :) The past week ive been amazing myself with all the work ive been doing around this world and all the interaction with new friends that ive had the privelidge of meeting each new day ^^ I cant begin to describe the feeling ive been feeling the past few days thats for sure lol. First of all id like to thank all the people for their feedback on my wallpapers and my card, and it's been awesome taking the time to create one each day (which i hope to continue to do each day). I know they seem pretty simple, but its a nice step for me in a creative direction and i look to broaden my horizons in due time ^^
When i got home from work this morning, i created another Gundam 0083 wallpaper and im glad to say that i really enjoyed making this one. Ive always been a fan of the collage/montage type of art, especially when its from a series that i truly enjoy to the fullest capacity. I hope other fans appreciate it as much as i do, even if it is somewhat simple and not as high-tech looking as some of the ones ive seen on theotaku in general lol. It's special and i suppose thats what counts ^^
Earlier this morning i while visiting a friend's myotaku page, i found out that he hadnt been feeling too good today, so i figured id use this post to bring him up a little and it was also the inspiration for the name of the post, as well as the picture at the top of the post. i felt that the picture alone stood for alot of things. I searched my DB/DBZ dvds until i could find a suitable picture that felt right and when i found this one from "Bojack Unbound" It seemed perfect, Yamcha and Tien always there, standing their ground for their friend aginst impossible odds . So this one's for you Xaos, get well soon and know im always here if you need me :)
As for yesterday afternoon, I didnt do much after i worked on my world and stuff. I had to work last night, so around 3 or 4 in the afternoon i ended up laying down and watching some Blue Seed. I only made it through one episode though lol, I had passed out during the intro of the next one lol. Last night at work wasnt all that eventful, mondays are usually slow - plus i didnt take my Xbox or PS2 - I only took a handful of wrestling dvds lol. So me and my friend that is also a fan of wrestling just watched a couple matches while on lunch lol. Tonight ill probably take my Xbox and play some ESPN NFL 2K5, its a pretty cool football game :) Since i got home this morning ive pretty much been lazy for the most part except for making the wallpaper and browsing through dvds for screenshots to save lol. Im probably going to lay down and watch some more Blue Seed and/or RahXephon in a little bit, I just had to post for you guys first! ^_^
Well i think thats about it for today, I thank you all for visiting and im always grateful for the cool friends and the great feedback ^^ I hope to chat with you all later!
