It's been an absolutely fantastic week. There is so much that I have discovered from games, anime, and being some what independent. I shed a few tears, had some laughs, scares, and just lived life. It's hard to believe that I've been missing out on so many things and it's sad to think that I might never find things like the things I've found this week. So let's have a recap post shall we?
Ib
A post or two ago I reviewed the game Ib and absolutely loved it. It was just great in a lot of aspects and left me in awe. Anyhow, Ib has really opened my eyes to a new genre of gaming and I just really want more of the game, but unfortunately it's over. I was really glad I discovered the game and now I'm looking forward to other games that have been made with RPG Maker.
A lot of indie games turn out really good and Ib is not an exception.
Every once in a while I have a day where I just put everything aside and watch anime for the whole day. Yesterday was one of those days and the anime I had planned to watch was Angel Beats! thanks to recommendations from a friend and other anime watchers. So I set up, got comfortable, and started the anime.
I loved it. I ended up watching Angel Beats! in one go and during the last scene I shed a few tears, not only because of the sadness and despair in the scene, but because I knew that the anime was going to end. As the credits started rolling on the screen I just sat back and thought about everything I had just experienced. Once the episode was done, I quickly searched the web for a second season (and as usual with anime I like) and found nothing but hoaxes.
So I'm sad that Angel Beats! doesn't have a second season, but I hope that one day in the future there will be something like a second season (at best) and an OVA or two. Angel Beats! just left a void in me that I can't seem to fill up unless I watch something else like it.
Summer School
The biology unit of my summer course is finally over and now we're on our last unit (which is physics). I'm really glad about this because I had a bit of trouble with biology, but physics seems like a unit which I really enjoy and understand. I'm getting a solid 94% in the course (as of now) and, I don't know, humans usually tend to be happier when they understand things.
Review Site
Angel Beats! and Ib have really pushed me even further into thoughts about creating a review site. They both were really enjoyable and I feel like they deserved to be shared to world to anybody who haven't heard of them. Anyhow, so the possibility of starting a review site (more of a blog) grows larger and I'll keep updates on this blog. There are plenty of things going on in my life however, so there might not be enough time to start and run the site.
All This Made My Week
An anime, game, and knowledge just made my week. I'm typically a moderately happy guy most of the time, but those things really completed this week and (for the most part) perfected it. Friends have been really good to me and, really, there are just so many voids from completing Ib and Angel Beats! because I still can't get over them.
I'm really hoping that Angel Beats! will become something more (or there will be a remake it), but if it doesn't (probably won't in the near future) then I'll just have to find a "rebound" anime. Sorry for keeping you here for so long. I tried to add pictures this time, but I find that sometimes it doesn't really matter. Today I feel like a 9 if you're still wondering about that.
