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 ^_^
It's been a while since ive last posted, and since ive been off work for the past 3 days, i figured id put a post up and let you all know what ive been up to :)
First off, i wanted to post that i finally played Wanderers From Ys:Ys III (SNES) this morning. Some of you may know that i bought it a few months ago, but i mustve forgotten about it when i moved and i never got around to playing it lol. Xaos brought up the subject of Ys yesterday in a message he sent me, so i thought id pull out my super nintendo and play it for a little bit :)
So far it has been pretty fun, even though ive been at guides looking online. I also have the PS2 game called Ys: The Ark of Napishtim, which i also need to get back to playing lol, but thats for another post lol.
Ive also been playing Halo REACH alot lately on Xbox Live. I recently merged my live account and Gamertag with bungie.net - so now all of my stats are saved directly to my profile on bungie.net in realtime as i am playing. All of my in-game pics are also saved there as well, so you can keep up with the mayhem by checking out all the cool pics that are taken during battles lol.
Over this weekend ive been competing in Arena battles, in order to receive a rank and a division spot, so hopefully ill place somewhere when they give out ranks tommorrow - wish me luck :)
As for anime, the newest anime title ive bought is a boxset of an anime called "The Hakkenden: The Legend of the Dog Warriors", and so far it has been really good. Here is a video of the opening, so you guys can gather your own opinion of it :)
I also recently made a wallpaper using one of my Fan art pieces, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think :)
I plan on making some more wallpapers pretty soon, especially after seeing some of the cool characters in The Hakkenden anime, and as well as some other titles ive been watching lately like Yu Yu Hakusho, Ninku, and Spriggan.
Well, i suppose that will be all for today, i sure hope you all like the pics, and i surely look forward to hearing from you all :)
I just finished my laundry and making something to eat, and i thought id put up a post for you guys :)
I had a pretty fun night last night, even though i was pretty much home alone the whole time lol. I spent most of yesterday playing UFC Undisputed 2009 for xbox360, trying to get one of the acheivements and then i spent some time back and forth in the chats while i was watching some wrestling dvds and posting on my Wrestling World.
Once it started getting late, i went into one of the other rooms and took the vcr so i could hook it up in my room (since my vcr is acting crazy lol) and i started watching some of the anime that i have on vhs :)
I was able to watch -
Macross Plus Voltage Fighters: Gowcaizer The Movie
Before i fell asleep lol.
Right now im watching Yu Yu Hakusho The Movie: Poltergeist Report, and im hoping to post about that film in this post, once it is finished :)
It actually wasnt that long ago when i last watched Macross Plus, it is actually one of my favorite animes right alongside Mobile Suit Gundam 0083. It has been a few years since i had seen Gowcaizer The Movie and the Yu Yu Hakusho movie though, so thats why i chose to watch them. You guys know how i like the old stuff lol.
Well, i thought id post pics of my tapes up, along with some youtube videos (if there are any), an a little info - so you guys can check out these anime movies if you havent already. I sure hope you all enjoy :)
Macross Plus
Ive always loved Macross Plus, ever since the day i got lucky and recorded the 4 Episode OVA on Movieplex. Shinichiro Watanabe's (Cowboy Bebop) touch can be clearly seen in this anime , and Yoko Kanno's music takes it over the top, especially towards the end of the show. Macross Plus and Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 stand as equals in my animation collection when it comes to mecha based anime. These two animes are far more than just a bunch of robots flying around, they both peer deep into the souls of its characters and bring out the best that can be offered. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND Macross Plus to any anime fan, so be sure to check it out :)
Voltage Fighters: Gowcaizer The Movie
This movie is actually one of the very first anime movies i ever owned, and i was very lucky to have been able to record it as well. I remember back then, that i didnt really care much for the movie, but i was so eager to get more and more anime tapes and dvds, that i would buy and record anything i could find lol. I just recently learned that this anime movie is based off of a fighting game on Neo Geo, which was cool to learn, thats for sure. Last night i watched this movie for the first time in about 10 years and im proud to say that it was alot more enjoyable than i remembered :) The action was good and the characters were pretty cool as well and there was even some nudity in there (which i didnt remember lol!) which caught me by surprise lol. Overall, it was fun to watch again and gave me something refreshing to watch after all these years. Sometimes it's good to go back and watch older stuff :) Id reccomend this anime movie to other people who may be fans of Fighting anime films such as Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, or Fatal Fury!
Yu Yu Hakusho The Movie: Poltergeist Report
Geez, it had been about 10 years since i had watched this movie too, but i just now finished re-watching it. To be honest, the movie itself is actually pretty good, but the downside is that all of the voice actors are different. there are also some name alterations, as you may notice in the youtube video i posted under the pic of my vhs tape. Hardcore fans of the current voice actors may be turned off by this movie, which was released quite a few years ago, but i must say that besides the compared differences - that this movie is still fun and enjoyable. Im sure this movie has been re-released with updated voice actors by now, but the version i have is the original, so ill have to make do with that lol. This movie seemed pretty long to me and i had a fun time despite the above reasons, it's certainly worth watching for the action :) I reccomend it for you guys, so give it a try :)
Well, i suppose that will be all for today, im about to watch some more anime that i have on vhs and probably be lazy until i have to go to work tonight lol. Im glad i was able to post some stuff up for you guys, i sure hope you all enjoy it. Let me know what you all tink, hope to chat soon :)
