AMV Medley!

August 14, 2007 by Yumeka 1 Comment

I’m not really a huge fan of AMVs – I only like them when they’re exceptional, either really funny or really well made, and I don’t have any interest in watching mediocre AMVs. Over the years, through Anime Music Videos.org and brief viewings at cons, I’ve managed to find only a handful I thought were really worthy. But recently I’ve been in an “AMV mood” and felt like watching some of my favorites again and sharing them here on the blog (luckily they all seem to be available on YouTube too). So here are 6 of my all time favorite AMVs. Read on, and let me know if you think they’re as good as I do…

Anime Expo ’07 coverage plus photos & videos!

July 6, 2007 by Yumeka 1 Comment

Haruhi!
I finally got around to posting my coverage, photos, and video clips of my four-day stay at Anime Expo 2007. I wrote about everything I did at the con, things I liked about it and things I disliked about it. My photo/video collection isn’t as impressive as most but it’s something. Well, you can check out all my Anime Expo ’07 stuff here. Let me know what you think! =)

I have to work tomorrow and Saturday but hopefully after that I’ll have time to catch up on my Inuyasha chapter reviews and other posts so check back soon!

Hare Hare Yukai parody – Pokemon version

June 8, 2007 by Yumeka 2 Comments

I think the post’s title speaks for itself. Pika Pika Yukai! XD

Pikachu as Haruhi
Minun as Yuki
Plusle as Mikuru

And cameo by Itsuki

This is a good video considering it uses all original drawings and still flows with the song well. Whoever created it must’ve been dedicated to having their own unique Hare Hare Yukai parody video ^^

Inuyasha Drama CD: Aka to Shiro no Utagassen!

May 30, 2007 by Yumeka 16 Comments

Wow, I can’t believe they’re still making new Inuyasha CDs! Actually this one came out in April, but still, it’s been over three years since the anime ended! 0_o And they’re still keeping all the old seiyuus together? Methinks that means there’s a good possibility for a new anime series in the works =) Maybe they’re just waiting until the manga finishes ~_^ Since Inuyasha has been losing its popularity over the past few years, I’m always on the lookout for new IY products to satisfy my obsession ^^ I heard about this CD a while ago…I just kinda forgot about it until a few weeks ago =P Better late than never I guess! Anyway, read on to see the track listings, my review, and brief synopsis of the CD, and also to download a RAR file of it…

Another media update!

May 15, 2007 by Yumeka 22 Comments

First of all, before I get to the new media files, I’ve got to apologize for the lack of posts these past few weeks. Some of it’s due to my addiction to Pokemon Diamond, plus the usual stuff like school, work, preparing for university next semester, and trying to catch up on all the anime in my “To-Watch” folder. Also, strangely, I just haven’t been able to think of good things to blog about lately. And now with finals coming up, I really won’t have much free time. But I’ll have some days off in the summer so I’ll definitely use that time to works on posts and other things. Anyway, as for the new media files…

Code Geass – Graphics Ashford artbook scans

April 26, 2007 by Yumeka 12 Comments

A little over a week ago, I had a small reunion with some of the people who were in the same Japanese extension program I attended last summer. We met up at Little Tokyo in downtown LA, went out to lunch, and shopped around the stores. It had been a while since I went to the good ‘ol Kinokuniya book store and Jungle Collectibles shop there (which is also where AnimeTV is frequently filmed), so I forgot about all the great anime goodies they have ^^ I’m trying to save up my money for Anime Expo, but I couldn’t resist this gorgeous Code Geass artbook I found…

Pokemon movie 9 review+Japanese artbook scans & movie 10 trailer

April 3, 2007 by Yumeka 14 Comments

Though it’s not my favorite of the nine (soon to be ten) Pokemon movies, movie 9 holds a special place in my heart because I was studying in Japan in July 2006 when the movie first came out. I was lucky enough to get to see it in a small theater in Kyoto a few days before I had to return to the US. The theater was very small compared to the ones out here in CA and there were a lot of loud kids there, but hey, it was a great experience to see an anime movie in a real Japanese theater ^^ The English version of the movie just premiered about a week ago on Cartoon Network. I didn’t bother to watch it though because 1) Pocketmonsters.net had just released a fansubbed version of the movie a little while before and 2) I dislike the new PUSA voice actors and it’s the first movie that’s using them. But after watching the fansubbed version of it (and understanding a lot more compared to watching the raw in the theater =P), it turned out to be one of the better Pokemon movies in my opinion. So I felt like writing a review of it (plus I can’t think of anything else to blog about tonight ^^,,,)

Naruto the Abridged Series, and other anime vs YouTube stuff

March 18, 2007 by Yumeka 8 Comments

A while ago I wrote a post about Yu-Gi-Oh! the Abridged Series, which I still think has got to be the best anime amv/parody/spoof/fandub series there is. Whether you like it or hate it, as long as you’re a little familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh!, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t find LittleKuriboh’s series hilarious! XD But now I’d like to talk about a new abridged series I’ve started watching – yup, Naruto the Abridged Series. Though I still think YGO the Abridged Series is a bit more clever, this one is definitely worth checking out for fans (and anti-fans) alike.

Finally an update on the main site!

I finally had some free time today to do a little work on the main AnimeYume.com site instead of here on the blog…

Classic Disney songs in Japanese

February 27, 2007 by Yumeka 267 Comments

While randomly searching around the Internet not too long ago, I stumbled across just that…Disney songs in Japanese. For someone who loves Japanese (and is also a veteran Disney fan), this was quite an interesting find (BTW, in Japan, Disney and all other forms of animation are considered “anime”. It’s only in America and other countries that “anime” refers to Japanese animation only ^^)
