Onegai Blog disappeared directly after the holiday break. This left millions of fans wondering what happened. To add to the mystery, the popular blog site returned just as abrupt without any explanation. It was this suspicious behaviour that flagged NNW’s warning senses. After doing some serious investigative journalism, we now bring you the truth about Onegai Blog’s mysterious shutdown and re-activation.

In the beginning, Chief Editor was running both NNW and Onegai Blog. But since his sudden disappearance, Onegai Blog has continued to run. When we approached Onegai Blog to find out who was actually in charge, we were bounced from department to department. In the end, it seemed there was no paper trail and nobody seemed certain of anything beyond their role in the company.

We managed to find some information by questioning a janitor who worked for the cleaning company responsible for maintaining the offices that Onegai Blog rented. ‘Onegai Blog had no head. It was being run by an underground consortium of employees. That was until recently,’ the janitor told us before suddenly dying of what looked like a heart-attack.

With no evidence and only a tiny piece of the puzzle, we set about investigating the company further. We were able to gain access to their filing room with the help of a lock-smith we had employed. The documents inside revealed something we could never have even begun to guess.

Apparently the consortium who were running Onegai Blog, known to themselves as The League of Ordinary Gentlemen, were all assassinated at one of their meetings. With no real leadership, Onegai Blog was facing a crisis and one of their junior staff members was forced to take up the reins. Unsure of what to do, he decided to make a post blaming the extended holiday on “technical difficulties”.

Approximately two weeks passed before somebody finally stepped up to take leadership of the blog. It was none other than “Mr” – a mysterious man who seems to be influencing many global events both big and small recently. Because nobody knows who Mr is or where he comes from, it has been impossible for us to locate and question him. Currently, it would seem, he is an ally, but only time will tell.

Caters for everyone, loli and up...

Anime is a strange thing, I think we can all say that, it has it’s highs (Haruhi, Bakemonogatari) and it’s low (Haruhi [Endless Eight]), yet this Anime falls directly into the middle, it’s average, it and it’s sequel are as average as they come.

The Onegaiverse is average, yet so strange, with a half-alien, half-human teacher, ‘blackouts’ and twins that might be triplets but aren’t, this is the oddest average Anime there is.

And that’s why it’s awesome.

Both Onegai Teacher! and Onegai Twins! (Please Teacher! and Please Twins!) are two of my favourite shows. Why you ask? Even when I said it was so average? It’s because it is. Most Anime is very ‘out-there’ and weird, which is good, but sometimes you need a good average show to cool off with after hours of Dragon Ball Z.

Don’t get me wrong, but the averageness of this is what makes it great.

More after the normal jump…

As much as I like agreeing with myself, the averageness is low in the first series, it’s more Sci-Fi than average -

Random Troll: Then why’d you say it was?

- because I was counting both as a whole, and the averageness of the Twins series outweights the Sci-Fi of the Teacher series, and I did watch Twins first, then I watch Teacher when I brought it on DVD.

That comes into my next point, the Onegai Saga is the first series I brought on DVD fully (yes I know that’s bad, but hey, check out my other post for details), so it holds a special place in my heart because of that. The two DVD’s are awesome, I watched them on my HD TV (first Anime to do so) and believe you me, it looked amazing.

So please, go out and buy this, because it is awesome and average.

Todays ‘thing’ of the day is this picture, taken by I:

All mine!

These are my DVDs, taken not an hour ago, these are so special to me!

Onegai My Melody (おねがいマイメロディ?) is an anime series based on the Sanrio character, My Melody. Produced by Studio Comet, the first series premiered between 3 April 2005 and 26 March 2006 on Animax, TV Osaka and TV Tokyo, spanning 52 episodes. A sequel, Onegai My Melody ~Kuru Kuru Shuffle!~, started airing 2 April 2006 and finished 23 March 2007. With its next sequel, Onegai My Melody Sukkiri♪, each episode was cut to 10 minutes. The series was then followed by Onegai My Melody Kirara★, which was released on 6 April 2008. This series was also been aired across Japan by Animax, TV Osaka and TV Tokyo. However, Sanrio currently has no plans to release this series in North America. The anime franchise concluded on 30 March 2009, and was replaced with Jewelpet in its timeslot.

Summary

Kuromi and Baku are imprisoned in a dungeon in Mari Land. They escape along with the Melody key and the Melody bow, but in their haste, forget the instruction manuals. They flee to the human world and while there, Kuromi discovers the power of the Melody key: it makes wishes come true but in a twisted, nightmarish sort of way. If the person who wishes enjoys the nightmare, he produces one or more black notes, which Baku promptly eats. What neither one of them realize is that when 100 black notes are gathered, the Spirit of Dark Power consumes the dreams of all humanity. Because Mari Land is formed from the dreams of humans, even the incompetent king of Mari land realizes the danger. He gives the Melody takt to My Melody and sends her to the human world. Her goal is to collect 100 pink notes before Kuromi and Baku can collect 100 black notes. If she can do this, then the Dark Power will be defeated, and both the human world and Mari Land will be saved.

My Melody, Kuromi, and Baku arrive in Yumemigaoka City. My Melody helps Uta when Uta falls victim to Kuromi’s nightmare magic. My Melody and Uta put right the various nightmares caused by Kuromi using My Melody’s Melody Takt, a magical instrument.

As each series progresses, new tasks fall to My Melody and her friends. In ~KuruKuru Shuffle!~, My Melody must collect Pink Notes while Kuromi must collect the Black Notes so they can fulfill their wishes. In Sukkiri♪, both My Melody and Kuromi are candidates to become the new Princess of Mari Land.

Unlike the first three seasons, Kirara★ takes place before Kuromi escapes to the human world and before My Melody used the Melody Takt. Kirara is said to be the first human to ever enter Mari Land.

Today’s to-do list:

TLC; Asura Crying [Done], Kannagi 14 [Done]

TL; Tayutama [       ]

Study; Japanese [Done a lot!], to learn TS [       ]

Well that’s basically what I have to do today, hopefully I’ll be able to finish the TL, since the Japanese is “my priority 1″ to quote Onegai Teacher.

May I also remind you to vote about my skills as TLC and TL here. Seemingly from someone totally immature in #Kyou that decided just cause the choice were there he’d vote “Total crap” 872 times or something around that, which sadly takes and nullifies the meaning of the poll which were to seriously validate what others think about what I do.

Last night my mother asked me if I could go to town today to buy something for a friend who is celebrating her birthday tomorrow. So today I went to town and I bought that thingy. Being there I thought… HEEEY, why not buy some stuff for myself =P which I then of course did hahahaha…

I bought a DVD of an AWESOME anime ^^ called ‘Onegai Teacher’ (Please Teacher). I also bought 3 T-Shirts (Non Grada ones) and I bought 2 Björn Borg Boxers XD After that I didn’t know where to look anymore and the shops were about to close anyway so I went back home again…

4chan retards are flocking to the site once again for a post that appeared months ago. Just how stupid are these retards? Apparently they never forget, but 4channers are obviously dumber than a sack of doorknobs.

Not much more needs to be said, but go ahead and discuss.

NOTE: “NIGGER” and “DESU” x 9000 comments will be deleted as will weak attempts at rickrolling (don’t ask). That means the majority of the comments will never appear since 4channers never have an original thought or an active synapse between them. It’s like a hive mind of stupid over in that latrine.

NOTE 2: ts;cr (too stupid; can’t read) is apparently a popular “meme” with these worthless trolls, so expect to see some variant of this brainless unfunny reply before I have a chance to hit the delete key.

Update: The 4chan Manifesto:

We are Anonymous, and we are totally gay.
We are void of human decency, such as pity and mercy.
Those who perform reckless actions or wish to harm the Anonymous will be forced to have gay sex without hesitation.
Enemies of the Anonymous include anyone who is not totally gay.
Our enemies are to be violated swiftly and without incident.
Anonymous must work as one gay whole. No Anonymous knows anything.
Betrayal of Anonymous is both impossible and unaccepted because we are totally gay.
No man-made or natural occurrence can harm the Anonymous (ow, don’t slap me, silly goose).
Under no circumstances are Anonymous human or straight. We are above heteros and morality.
We are legion, for we are many and totally gay.
Anonymous is everywhere at all times.  Especially up your backside because we love buttsecks.
All have the potential to be Anonymous until they choose not to be gay.
Anonymous has no redeeming value.
Laws of Nature and Man cannot restrain the gaity of teh Anonymous.
Anonymous is one. Anonymous is gay. Feuding and argument amongst the Anonymous is both impossible and unaccepted. Especially when wearing the holy assles chaps.
Anonymous is in control of all other faggorz at all times.
Anonymous has no identity or brains.
Anonymous cannot be contained by mere restraints. Anonymous prefers whips and chains like all gaywads.
Anonymous are all equal. Butt some are more equal than others. Tee hee.
Anonymous is the virus; Christians are the cure.
We are Anonymous, and we do not forgive.
We are dumber than a sack of hammers.

Thanks to 4chan insider, Anonymous.

Pour 2Stroke, Kazami est avant tout une orpheline de père qui n’a jamais eu d’expérience amoureuse. Elle ne connait donc rien d’autre aux hommes que ce qu’elle a pu lire et entendre ici ou là et commet de nombreuses erreurs de jugement, tant sur les gens que sur leurs intentions. Naturellement jalouse et possessive, Mizuho s’inquiète de l’affection que Koishi porte à Kei et malgré la sincérité croissante des sentiments du jeune homme à son égard, elle ne cessera de douter de sa fidélité. En dépit des apparences, c’est un personnage faible.

Atteint d’une maladie étrange qui le plonge dans un état comateux dès que ses sentiments s’emballent,  Kusanagi-kun est un garçon plus âgé que son apparence physique ne le laisse croire et malgré des sentiments souvent exacerbés, il se révèle très mâture. Orphelin lui aussi, il a grandit chez son oncle et sa tante auprès desquels il bénéficie d’une sécurité affective totale. Toujours à l’écoute des autres, c’est un ami fidèle et indéfectible. En dépit des apparences, c’est un personnage fort. 

Au sein du couple, Kei a souvent le dessus…

Angela Aki’s sophomore major label album, TODAY, was released on 2007.09.19, debuting at #1 on the official Oricon Daily Album Chart and Oricon Weekly Album Chart – Aki’s first and only #1 release to date.

This album shows further growth in Aki’s well-developed rock-piano style, showcasing a slightly more complete sound to her repertoire than her debut major label album, HOME, had. For the first time we hear fully-fleshed, orchestrated compositions, taking some daring steps away from her very pleasant but often safe piano/drums/vocals mix. Though Aki has not changed her style, it is evident that she has experimented a little on this album. And it is just as well, since TODAY is similar enough to HOME to be recognised as Angela Aki at her best but also different enough to be recognised as a separate collection of sounds.

TODAY opens with Aki’s most successful single release to date, Sakurairo. This uplifting track immediately sets the positive theme of the album. Based mainly on piano, percussion and Aki’s perfect vocals, the song eventually explodes in to an orchestral climax. The song also includes a homage to Aki’s debut single, HOME, including one of the verses. The verse is similar enough to the tune of Sakurairo to fit in smoothly, which adds to the song overall.

The next cut, Again, follows very nicely. Another song based on piano and vocals, but more heavy on the strings this time, Again continues the positive, free-spirited mood of the album. Aki’s vocals are flawless and very strong. She powers her way through the song, which is fitting with the instrumental.

TODAY slows the pace a little, a refreshing change. The piano plays a more evident role in this song, plus an electric guitar underneath in the pre-chorus and chorus, an interesting addition that works. The lyrics are immediately catchy, repetitive but not annoyingly so, particularly in the chorus (“Today, today, to-to-to-to-today”). The vocal performance is great, bringing this song further to life.

Ai no Uta is one of the most prominent tracks from the album, a welcome change from the previous three, fairly similar, tracks. It shows off Aki’s phenomenal vocals, which she controls ideally. The song builds wonderfully from a simple-sounding ballad to a stunning gospel-inspired soul stomp, particularly in the chorus. The strings further develop this song, bringing it to a superb climax, followed by a perfect denouement: “I’m calling, calling, calling, calling your name” repeated over with a gospel choir in the background.

The album then returns to its recurring positive, jolly mood with the enjoyable but repetitive Tashika ni. If it had not been separated by Ai no Uta, Tashika ni would have blended very easily into the first three tracks. However, this way it stands out for itself, re-lifting the spirit that Ai no Uta had wonderfully shocked. A very pleasant, harmless track.

Silent Girl throws the listener back to a slow, soul-searching sound. This song brings nothing particularly new to the table but remains a listenable, enjoyable ballad. Aki’s vocals are, once again, stunning.

The next song demonstrates a side of Aki never heard before. Moral no Soushiki is full of ups and downs, accompanied with frantic piano-playing and strings. The tempo changes a number of times, keeping the listener on his or her toes, following attentively. Eventually the song slows down to a very simple ballad, then threatens to grow into a breathtaking climax. Finally, it does, with screeching strings, mad drumming and fast piano-playing. Never before has Aki made a song so dramatic as this; a real stand-out cut from the album.

We are then brought immediately to Otome Gokoro, a song that contrasts greatly to Moral no Soushiki, though perhaps not to great effect. It’s perfectly enjoyable, one of the jazzier tracks from the release with an unusual inclusion (for Aki) of electric guitar. That said, Otome Gokoro does feel a little subdued in the wake of Moral…

Fortunately, the album then transfers the listener to One Melody, a gorgeous, heart-warming ballad. The inclusion of the line “There is just one melody”, in English, works very well, perhaps drawing in the listener not so familiar with the sounds of Japanese. There is nothing particularly remarkable about this song, but that works to its advantage, instead being familiar enough to make the listener comfortable yet not at all boring. The captivating vocals and instrumental fit without any qualms.

Tomo no Shirushi, the 10th track from the album, is probably the most laid-back of all. Revolving solely around Aki’s clean and crisp vocals, piano and light drumming, the song emanates a sleepy, content and bluesy mood. This track is reminiscent of Onegai, a fantasically simple ballad from the HOME album consisting of just a piano and Aki’s sultry vocals. Tomo no Shirushi feels like a sequel to Onegai, being the morning after Onegai’s night.

Kodoku no Kakera reminds me of morning, but in a different way to Tomo no Shirushi. Whereas that was more lazy like a Sunday morning, Kodoku no Kakera is more awake and uplifting. I think the vocals add a lot to this track – Aki’s voice is strong throughout but also gentle. I think this song, like Tashika ni, works better as part of the album than on its own as a single.

The penultimate track, On & On, is the main B-side from the Sakurairo EP. The album is fully awake again now, charged by the heavier percussion and piano-crashing. Though nothing never heard before, especially from Aki, On & On is a nice song and a welcome addition to the album.

TODAY concludes with Surrender. Just like on the HOME album, the final (13th) track is fully in English, featuring strings and piano with vocals and no more. The effect is wonderful, though not quite as devastatingly beautiful as on Your Love Song (HOME’s final track). However, I don’t think a repeat of Your Love Song would have worked here, following on from the joyous On & On. Unusually for Aki, the (touching) lyrics are in rhyming couplets, though thankfully they escape sounding cheesy. This cut provides a fitting, calming end to the album.

I thoroughly enjoyed HOME and still do, so I did have doubts that Angela Aki could improve. However, she has blown me away with TODAY, proving once again what a musical force she is. Every single track is very enjoyable, just like on HOME and ONE, Aki’s “indies” mini-album. There is no other artist I have ever come across who can do this quite like Angela Aki does. And she does it every time.

My overall grade for this album is A+
