Some technical problems

I tried updating the media box of my 3rd friendster profile (I update the one there before updating my other profiles), but the changes don't seem to be reflected.

Changes in this update are:

  • adding "神霊狩/GHOST HOUND" and its episode number to the anime watch list.
  • updated episode number for "Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai", "Goshusho-sama Ninomiya-kun", "Clannad", and "Shakugan no Shana Second".
Speaking of updates, sorry for not updating the anime watch list on my blogs. :P
There were many new and interesting Autumn anime to watch.

スクールデイズ 最終話 / School Days final episode

(this came from ときめきの日々 / Tokimeki no Hibi)

京田辺市・京都で斧を使用している彼女の父の上の16歳の少女による攻撃のために、「スクールデイズ」の最後話を全日本テレビのネットワーク(未確認のAT-Xを除いた)の向こう側に先取りして、ノイシュヴァンシュタイン(ドイツ)の風景、ドイツの28分に取り替えます。最終回が後者の期日に放送するかどうかが不明瞭です。何が最後話で起こるかを見つけるのを望んでいました… (-_-)

Because of an attack by a 16-year old girl on her father using an axe in Kyotanabe, Kyoto, the last episode of "School Days" was preempted across all Japan TV networks (except AT-X, which is unconfirmed) and was replaced with 28-minutes of scenery of Neuschwanstein, Germany. It is unclear if the final episode will air at a latter date. I was hoping to find out what happens in the last episode. :(

Annoying people on the internet

Forgive me if I hurt anyone's feelings, but i got to say this and not mention names.

The 1st person is already mentioned earlier somewhere. The one who copied everything from what i said to the images I uploaded. Now that person is still copying from me. Here is an extract from his chatbox dated 28 July while chatting with Annon1 (which is not me):

I don't really think that guy called [my real name], thinking that I was copying so suspiciously. I really don't knoe about his character.


The 2nd person, at first, went of well and was one of the few people who comforted me when I said that the 1st person was copying from me. It started back on 28 March 2007. I forgot what exactly happened but he (not sure if he's from the Philippines or Alaska) added me to the account mainly for my real-life friends and my other accounts. Some time later in late August, someone under the same name with a different account and a SOS-dan logo (i suspect it's the same person) sent the following messages from that account on the same day:
Message 1 title: s
Message: s

Message 2 title: ...
Message: ...

Message 3 title: Ok I'll tell the truth of my Identity
Message: Before that are mad at me?
Answer this!!! only huh [my real given name] nee-chan

Sorry about this

(Cause you did not ask that's why)

Complete
Name:Eric John L. Recustodio
Birthday:October 10, 1992
Age:14
Year:11th grade high school

My Research About you is this...
From the clue I got you are
Name: [my real full name]
Birhtday:August 5, 1990 (you got the year wrong)
Age:18 (how can I be 18 if you say i'm born in 1990?)
wakkanai (Northernmost part of Hokkaido, Japan. Which is wrong)

Message 4 title:My info about you
Message:Kuso you really don't know what I mean do you? I just want to be your friend don't you understand friend?
You are careful,selfish,doesn't trust me,only trust yoyurself,etc
now I made up my mind I don't wanna go here again...
you I already have a japanese classmate here already
I hope you understand
you can't be a friend to me

Sayonara

(How the hell did you come up with that conclusion by me not talking to you? I am already busy with my life.)
A day after the above message, I removed him from from my friend list. About a week later, he sent this message:
Message 5 title: That's it that's what I'm looking for
Message:well i guess I'll say it to you my reasonings
first- the email I sent to you has a bad words right ,I sent it to make you mad
I just want to see If you really have trust on me, so I want to say If you forgive me you have a good personality
you can forgive others do you

If not maybe you don't have a chance to forgive me
(For what happens I just really want to test you so I want to see If you are)
(I really don't know why I'm still here you now, I don't understand)
(For all what I did I'm really sorry,maybe I hurt your feelings)
Yeah, right. Like I believe you. And why the hell are you sending from that account and not your main account? Are you telling me that you are a copycat or a coward?
After that, I blocked him (the account he send the messages from) and rejected friend request. I also suspect the person by the name Romeo is the same person based on the long hometown name in the Philippines.

If you look at the chatbox placed on my blogger blog (here), you might see them posting messages there.

new drawing

After not drawing for quite some time (the last was on April 22) due to school related things, handling 6 Friendster and MySpace accounts and some time after a certain incident, i had put up a scan of a new drawing I had just drawn.



(by the way, my birthday is this Sunday, August 5)

i really didn't want to post this but...

i really didn't want to post this but this has gone too far for me to ignore.

This guy by the name of Uchiha Sasuke (http://www.myspace.com/infinitezala), Akaza Zala (http://www.friendster.com/31024514) and Hayate Haramoto (http://www.friendster.com/43365062), has been copying me from the way i phrase words to the images i upload there. I don't know what to do with him...


Image 1: This is the myspace profile mentioned above. It is only viewable if you are "friends" with him. The things he copied is quite obvious.


Image 2: This is my myspace profile. As you can see, that box below the display image is supposed to be in the MS PGothic (MS Pゴシック) with the background transparent (may appear blue-ish if viewed in Safari (Apple) browser) and saved in PNG format. In Image 1 you can tell that he edited it and typed the name different from the display name and saved it in JPEG format, which means a loss in image details (due to compression) each time it is saved in that format.


Image 3:A closer look of Image 1. This guy copied the same text as me (and box, which is mentioned earlier) and has the nerve to call my drawings as his.


Image 4:He also copied the list of anime i am watching currently (though the shows are slighty different and most of them are not of current anime/episode). The japanese text were originally saved in GIF in with 35px with Terbuchet MS in paint. He rezized it to height to 50px and created more in the same height but in a different font (most likely Arial Unicode MS). After I first noticed that he copied me, I used a vector program instead of MS Paint, changed all the stuff to what you see in Image 5.


Image 5: "Anime watch list" in the media box on my 3rd friendster profile. As you can see, the background for the japanese text is transparent and can see the background image through it. (if entered as text instead, it would convert to some code or to ?'s).


Image 6: In addition to Image 3, he also put my drawings even after I reuploaded them. (the earlier ones did not have the date and the website url). If you are curious on what was on the blog on that image, go to: http://asuna888.blogspot.com/2007/06/please-read-this.html


Image 7: The zoomed out version of Image 6. Loacted between Image 1 and Image 4. You can see that he posted more of my drawings (and none of his own) on the profile.

2nd day, 5th month, 2007th year

(Lucky Star was featured in the June 2007 issue of Newtype Japan)

Okay, i know i have not been updating my blogs lately. i just don't feel like updating and not to mention that i have school (holiday is in june/july) and have many different profile and blogs to maintain, i regularly update those at friendster. At http://www.friendster.com/friends/4623690, I received a very long list of friend requests. As it already reached the 1000 friends, I had to delete those with non-anime/japanese related display images but still accept at the other 2 accounts until either reaches the 1000 limit. (btw. the link to my MySpace profile can be found in my 3rd friendster profile).

Note1: I have dropped "Nagaserete Airantou" as at episode 8. I'm sick of seeing 19th century japan-like environment and nosebleeding comming from the only guy on the island. (the rest are females and odd looking animals and plants)

Note2: ODEX is the devil for being the only legal anime distributor here and provide low quality video and subbing.

Note3: It seems that only 2/3 of the anime i watch now (out of 8, more if you count those i have watched before) are licensed by ODEX. They are "Idolmaster Xenoglossia", "Darker than BLACK" and "Nagaserete Airantou". (oddly enough, even though "School Days" hasn't started airing in japan yet (though they have released a preview in 2005), they have already licensed it)

Note4: Seems that some poor guy has been caught for ilegally downloading anime (go to www.darkmirage.com and look for blog entry around end-may/early-june 2007). Looking at the scan/pdf of the letter (dated mid-may 2007), it seems that person download subbed version of bleach and inuyasha from DB (dattebayo) and whatever site/groups i don't download from for the month of february of the same year.

Note5: Don't download subbed anime, especially popular ones ;) (hint hint) If you want to watch the subbed one and not support ODEX, buy those R1 DVD ones.

Note6: in the letter mention in note4, none of the downloads that "violate" (can't verify if the orginaisation the letter is from is legit) contains raws or non-latin based charaters. though i'm not sure about those sent to other people.

Note7: None of my friendster profiles contains my real name, including my main (3rd) acc. (though you need to add my real given name as the last name or 1 of the few email addresses with my real name in it to add me)

Note8: So long.... -_-

Note9: That list is updated already.

Note10: I don't like the climate in Singapore: Hot tropical climate (no winter), small land area (=dense population and expensive houses. a 5rm (200sqm)apartment (with minimal/no furnishings btw;) is already around SGD 300,000 (SGD1.5=USD1) and single houses in the 1mil range. Houses in the suburbs of other developed countries are barely even 50,000 and the size is larger.), might emigrate one day (most likely around 2018)
Note11: I want to marry someone from japan, move there and change my name and surname

Note12: Trying to understand japanese including both spoken and written.

Note13: You might have noticed that this post has minor changes as compared to those i posted at the other blogs (and the Japanese Language version too)

Japanese animation in Singapore

I was in Singapore the other day and noticed that the only anime that people talk about is "Naruto" and "Bleach" and whatever anime that airs on Animax (a cable/satellite channel that is headquartered in 港区 inside 東京都) and free-to-air channels. The only thing I saw on TV and the TV schedule was anime that I would consider "outdated" and "boring" (Pokemon, Prince of Tennis, Detective Conan) or where the subtitles and/or dubs spoil the anime (and maybe the video and sound quality too). If you look at "Anime I'm currently watching" at the side of this blog, you would notice that most are very new. So new that the episode mentioned there was aired in Japan less than a week ago.

I'm not sure if I have mentioned this earlier (could be on my Windows Live Spaces or Yahoo! 360 blog, not sure where) but there is only 1 distributer (Obdex or something like that) for anime and the quality (packaging, media used, video & audio quality, subtitles, language channel) is bad. Also, unless you look at certain branches of specialized stores (normally inside the large branches / located in a major shopping district), the manga found in Singapore are either English or Chinese translated versions and not the original ones. Note: The page ordering for the English verison is most likely to be reversed from the Japanese/Chinese verison. Name ordering is also reversed: Family name followed by given name. (Strangely enough, Chinese and Korean names are left unchanged unless they have a western name, in which the order could be: western given name followed by surname and then the given name in hanyu pinyin)

URL changes

I was navigating to http://www.myspace.com/the1iam when I saw a guy that is not me. (urls on MySpace cannot be changed). Also, a few months earlier, while searching for fnfd on youtube, i saw a video of a fire bridgage putting out a fire. On search on google, it turns out that FNFD means ??? ??? Fire Department and also something that has to do with stock market. Since my nick was not original to begin with (fnfd was shortened from flyernofoolsday (which itself is shorten from "a flyer which is not a fool on a day"), a name i used on neopets), I might as well create a new one from scratch. The new urls are based on the display name of my friendster accounts at time of typing. (1st: ' ' ' ' Konomi Fujimiya, 2nd: ' ' Yukari Fujimiya, 3rd: Yukiho Horie)

So here are the changes that uses the following:

fnfd -> fujimiyayuki
the1iam -> yukarifujimi
(asuna888 is unchanged)

Therefore, new accounts and places where the display name and/or URL can be changed, are with effect from 13 April 2007 (Friday). Note that some of the links still points to the old ones.

(8 September 2008 edit: Please refer to this post for further changes)

Changed back the layout

(feeds of this blog is at http://the1iam.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default)
[[Anime related blogs at http: http://asuna888-en.blogspot.com:

New batch of drawings. (12 March 2007)

New Anime (March - July 2007) (6 March 2007)]]


I was looking at the changes between the "new" layout and the layout before that and found that the previous layout was better. It just needs some minor changes. What further prompted the changing back to the previous layout was that I was viewing my profile at YouTube (which I hardly go to lately, due to YouTube/Google removing "infringing" videos and the quality of audio and video is lower), when I remember that a code is needed to make the background which I could apply to here (under the older version). What I need to do now is to somehow make the title of posts appear instead of just the date or having to check the arcives or rss feed and also update the "Anime I have watched" and "私が最近見たアニメ" on all of my blogger blogs (as a rough guide, the shows in that list are the most recent (unsubbed) episode)

(I'm not sure if using #XXXXXX as the colour code at YouTube to make the background transparent still works. I forgot when it was last edited but I know that it's before December 2006.)
