Engaging Blabbermouth Mode

Good news, everyone! I got to see the premiere of the newest season (sort of) of Futurama earlier today!

"And?"

Let's just say I still consider Futurama the best animated tv series of all time.

Oh, I already know that there's a new episode that is broken down in three segments: a segment that looks like the Fleischer cartoons from the 1930s, a section that looks like 8-bit video games graphics, and a segment that looks like a Japanese animation. I wanna see that just for the 8-bit section, but I also gotta see how they poke fun at anime.

--------------

So, I played Little Busters some more.

Oh wait, more good news, everyone! Key's next game, Rewrite, was released in a limited-edition without a hitch!

Okay, when I am finished with Umineko, I'll just wait for however long it takes to translate Rewrite . . . even though that may take years. ERGH! How devilish can you be!? Releasing a game with cute girls with long hair and making me unable to play it!? You should be ashamed of yourselves!

Yeah, I don't feel like talking about LB right now.

-------------------

You know that song that no one will shut up about, "Friday?" I recently listened to that.

"Wait! That got taken off of youtube!"

Hold up. I didn't listen to the Rebecca Black original. I listened to a cover. A cover . . . by Big Al. VOCALOIDS TO THE RESCUE!

Now my review.

Good lord, these lyrics are inane! The instruments are entirely synthetic, which I don't normally mind, but the instruments are just . . . there. But Azuralunar and Big Al make the song a little tolerable. I heard the original producers made poor Ms. Black auto-tuned into oblivion, but you don't hear that here. Check out the other videos in the profile if you're bored enough.

Oh, but I'm not done with Vocaloids yet! Oh no!

Did you know the programs can be used for normal talking, not just music? Yeah, there are "Talkoid" videos too. (So Miku is also a synthetic voice actor. Should've figured.) I found one that's short, but hilarious. Here.

But guess what? I found something else funny Vocaloid related. There are videos set to a song called, "I'll quit singing." Most of them are in Japanese, but one of them is in English, and by Luka! Never stop, Luka. You are my . . . either my second or third favorite Vocaloid for a reason.

Now for more listenable music. I found a cool Miku song called Sweet Devil. The video looks cool, but . . . isn't Miku supposed to be like, 16 in appearance? Her movements are a little sultry in this vid. For a more cutesy video, try Chaining Intention, probably the best-looking Vocaloid vid out there. Another Miku hit for you: Secret Police. Is it just me, or do the characters look like they belong in Soul Eater in that pic? Two last Miku songs: I Love You Very Much. and I'm a Fluffy Flying Girl. They're sweet.

Oh, how about something humorous again, and by my favorite vocaloid, Gumi? Sorry For Being a Closet Otaku. Oh yeah, life is good right now.

EDIT: I found a Lily song I like! Lily's cover of the opening of the second Project Diva game, better than the Miku original! The profile "Miraclemilktea3" has more kickass Vocaloid vids. Oh, also, I found a longer version of Sweet Devil. Enjoy.

ANOTHER EDIT: Yukkuri Shiteitte ne!!!!! Thank me later.
