MGS4 Poster

I still am waiting for my MGS4 game to come from play-asia. But thanks to my kind friend Wollan he has given me his PAL MGS4 limited edition poster. And here it is hanging on my wall.

Japanese Test Tomorrow

Tomorrow I have my JP exam, consisting of Hirigana, Basic phrases and sentences, and Japanese Cultural questions. I did not have time to check out the latest Vampire Knight but I am sure you all have other resources you can find reviews on. I ave another final Web Programming exam next week so going to have to limit my anime watch list this week. Don’t you wish you could study with Teletha Tesstarossa sometimes. Grab the above wallpaper from my Flickr.

P.S MGS4 launches tomorrow worldwide, I am trying to secure the JP/US Limited edition one at launch.

If you don’t know John Knoll he is considered the father of the Lens Flare effect. Also co-programmed a little program called PHOTOSHOP! A very insightful interview with this veteran CG supervisor. I sometimes aspire to be like him making my personal hobbies into a career.

VAIO Laptop Partially back (Internet Trouble Series)

Another Blog entry in the “Internet Trouble Series”. Good news my laptop is partially back. Which Means I can get back to writing To Love Ru and other animes. I bought a new Hard Disk Drive to replace the old one, can’t take a chance again with the plan to do more video work with the upcoming anime posts. Ready to fly the skies with iDOLM@STER.

Computer Troubles (internet Trouble Series)

While trying to edit my next photo video for my next blog post my HDD on my VAIO lappy seems to be maxed out… and started not responding. Going to have some delays. I am writing this using a backup computer. Expect delays for To Love Ru and Toshokan Sensou.

Sometimes I feel I want to use a Mac and Dual Boot with XP/VISTA so if things go wrong with on I can resume using another OS for the job.

Youtube vs Aikiraman

This time it really hit me!!! YouTube has cancelled my account for the 3rd time (due to uploading some scenes from animes like OP ED and Previews) taking down my personal and ariaanime profile. Luckily my dailymotion one is still around. I am going to make an announcment soon after my school projects end next week, about How I intend to slove this problem.

CrunchyRoll vs Bittorrent [ARIA Articles]

A first post for ARIA Articles, basically long Posts.

With Crunchyroll getting more mainstream attention for English anime fans where does this put fans that like to use other mediums for getting anime like say Bittorrent.

I will not attempt to go into the legal side of downloading "open source" movies, rather I am making a comparison at the usability and convenience issues of both types of technologies, since I use both quite extensively for making my blog posts. Lets get started shall we!

ARIA Anime Restar-to the Blog Plan

ARIA Anime is back at WordPress.com! Hi folks this is Akiraman here from ARIA Anime I am very much still active in blogging, watching anime, playing Games and Animating more characters. Going back to basics of blogging and I have decided to restart ARIA Anime at WordPress.com all over again.

Not Dead Yet, Walking new tails - Akiraman

Well its been a month since the demise of ariaanime.ikimashou.net this proved to be good taking a long hard at the website I built over the last six months in 2007, it caused me to pause and think about the goals of blogging and my website.

Currently I am a guest blogging at anime banzai, I have actually signed up last year and did a little experimenting of providing the same content from ARIA Anime to Anime Banzai to see how the content will fair to another blog audience. While I was restricted to no post any blog promotion about my website I was happy to read reader’s comment on my articles and posts which were mostly gaming and some snippets of Otaku culture. My feedburner feed will be updated to get the latest articles I post there [anime banzai], so update your RSS reader links to point to my feedburner here.

For the future I am keen to get ARIA Anime v3 going again, but I want to add more than just blogging maybe have a small team of writers that want to contribute on Games, anime etc. Right now the plan is to decide whether to go with animeblogger.net or my own webhost. While I am sad that everything I worked hard at creating is gone I did pickup a few things on blogging and wordpress.

During the course of ARIAAnime.ikimashou.net I have been using / eperimeting with the following webservices before my site went down feel free to add me to your friends list, I still upload anime stuff to be used in my posts on anime banzai

-Twitter
-Flickr (lots of Pics anime, game pics, my personal photos etc)
-Zooomr (backup copy of images)
-Youtube (was suspended but registered a new account)
-dailymotion (second video uploads account)

Something to leave behind here, while the possibility of blogging here would be nice I would like to leave some happy trails over at Anime Banzai. When ARIA Anime does come back Announcement will be made here.

Veoh and stage6 (DIVX.com) recently have a huge influx of anime shows un-subbed & subbed unlicensed anime series that are on going in Japan, or past the air-dates. And the episode upload is shown in full no splitting up of videos like on youtube. I managed to find Mai Hime on Veoh. And quite a bit of Fate/Stay Night on Stage6 (Fate/Stay Night)
