Remember 11 – Who am I again?

I cut this together from the game CG, it’s a promo pic, prettiful :3 I added the Remember 11 logo myself for good measure :3

So I finally got to play Remember 11(last year now actually lol). Years after Ever 17. And Never7 is downloading right now. SO HAPPY. I didn’t realise there was a translation for Never7!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. And today I saw 12Riven in the bookshop in Dinghai. In Chinese…. which is annoying… but…… if there was a patch, would that work? XD Not that my CD drive works anyway… XD

So Remember 11. For those of you who have no idea what I’m on about(and can’t be bothered to click the link lol), it’s a Visual Novel. It’s part of a series, it’s a thriller/scifi/psycho kinda game. I went into it all excited and like ‘eeeeeeeeeeeeee EVER 17 YAYAYAYAY’, and I was happy that you got to play as a girl, for part of it lol. It’s a nice change,(which is funny cos I also have Starry Sky Spring to play too DDD YAYS!!)

I’m not sure how much I wanna reveal about the story… in case you actually want to play it.. so I’ll try to like, avoid major plot points and story. So there will be some spoilers. Nothing too major I suppose now I think about it, but still. Spoilers for a game like this would be annoying to me lol. So you have been warned!!

Clannad – Favourite Anime ~Ichi~

The 5, most important girls of Clannad. Sad that Ryou's not there, but not a big fan of the Fujibayashi twins anyhow.

Rewatching Clannad for the third time with my little brother at the moment. Only just realising watching anime with someone can enhance viewing pleasure. Depending on the series or even episode. Comedies are good for groups, but when its an epic-sobfest, like so many of Clannad’s episodes are, it can be better to watch alone, so you can let yourself break down fully.

Stupid (UK) Government…

This screen came from DC, the updated statement from Minori.

It’s pure bad luck or idiocy that the ero game that appeared on Amazon UK was RapeLay… Just awful that that was the game that got noticed… cos its one of the extreme games, that I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole, that its got a really bad reaction…(fair enough, tis a nasty sounding game) if it was a lesser Visual Novel and not a simulator like that…it wouldn’t be nearly as bad as its gotten right now… Its caused reprocussions for the otakus of the world. Now companies like Minori are beginning to restrict access to those outside of Japan… its disappointing and sucky that something like this has happened… after the years of overly violent games on the market, finally somethings coming about that makes them stop and think about the indecent stuff on the market… Took this long…

News & Late pick ups

Today, I got something I’ve wanted to get for a long time. The domain name meimi132.com. It’s been a dream since… probably my powerpets days to own my username domain name. .com, .co.uk, whichever. But I decided .com was the best way to go first, I might get .co.uk later on. I’ve got it redirected to my blog at the moment. One day I’m sure I’ll make the transaction to wordpress.org and I can use it for that. None of this would have been posible if it weren’t for xJaymanx and Koshiko. I couldn’t have got this far without their help and nudges in the right direction lol. So thank you both! Soooooo much!!! I don’t know how I can ever repay you!

As for my late pic ups, I downloaded the first episode of Ef Tale of Melodies when it was released, earlier in the season, but like a few others, I didn’t get round to watching it. One day, a week or so ago, I finally got round to watching it, and decided to download a few more episodes, and began to enjoy it, even though its a bit dark and depressing. I’ve got all the episodes up to date now, and am just watching them. Am on episode 8 now.

(High(er) res version available here.) I’ve got the first Ef series, Tale of Memories, backed up ready to watch, have done for months now, after I remembered seeing one of the episodes late in the  series and being intrigued. I also liked the art style, same character designer that worked on Da Capo apparantly. It is apparant, but I didn’t see it at first lol.

Chie Yoshioka – That Green-haired Gal

I realised, after someone asked who the girl in my header was, that I haven’t introduced one of my favourite anime girls. Or, to be more specific, my favourite girl from a visual novel. The only reason I like her is because I saw the figure of her on DannyChoo and knew I had to have her! The figures got a great pose, she’s got an adorable face, and she’s not stick thin like alot of figures! She has some shape! You can see her here, and this person has Konomi-chan too!!! Like me!!! Gotta love To Heart 2!!

Quality Comparison – AVI vs RMVB

Comparison of Air TV files

Sometimes when I just wanna see the series quickly, I will go with RMVB files, even though the quality is obviously much worse. If there are smaller MKV files available, I will go with them, but in Air TV’s case there weren’t any. I downloaded the last(proper) episode, 12, in AVI format just to see how much better the quality is. Same size, but so much more pixelation in the RMVB files. I usually got with AVI’s cos I know them, I’ve had less dealings with H264 files. Xvids are for me!!! I get me the best quality files if its a series I know I’ll love. 

(I know they’re not in exactly the same place, but its about the same and you can definately see the difference.
