Okay so first off, let me just apologize for not posting anything for over a week. Work took up alot of my time and I fell ill during the weekend, that's why.
Anyway, most of you already know about this by now but the very last livestream related to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS got announced days ago, set for December 15 2015 at 2pm PST (For those in Singapore, that's 6am on December 16). This is a rather late but quick announcement blog post but I am going to be posting live updates during the livestream. Well, this depends on how long this livestream's gonna last. My work's like at 8am SST so hopefully, I should be able to watch the livestream and watch in full.
Anyway, the livestream is available on Nintendo's Twitch channel and Nintendo Direct's official website so do check them out there. As for where my updates are gonna be at, they'll be over at both Suzaku ProjectWork's Twitter and Facebook pages so give them a follow and like respectively. As for how I'm gonna be doing this on my own, not to worry. I'll be primarily updating on Twitter but as my Twitter page is linked with my Facebook fanpage, all tweets will be automatically updated there. Oh and about the round-up blog post, that's gonna take a while as I have stuff to get done for the rest of the day, so expect it by the day after.
Anyway guys, I'll see you guys then. Shu Serian, signing off.
Okay guys just came back from work at the time of this posting but hey,
had to report on this. The latest trailer for The King Of Fighters XIV
that was shown at The PlayStation Experience 2015 is now up online and
pretty much confirms A-LOT of things. First up, the game has been
confirmed to have 50 playable characters, all split into 16 teams. THIS
pleases me. The KOF series has been mainly known for its format where
character where split into different teams, with the exception of the
KOF Maximum Impact games, which were your atypical fighting game fare.
So this I like.
Another thing to note is that there's a Party
Battle mode alongside the obligatory offline and online modes, where 4
players can duke it out at the same time, each controlling a team. Yes,
Party Battle pretty much allows 16 characters in one
fight. And yes, there seems to be a new story in this game. To be
honest, I was scared as while I was fine with the non-canon games in the
series, what excited me were the different story arcs in the game's
continuity. So I'm glad that this is coming back.
Oh and yes,
more playable characters confirmed. The pic above is one of the
newly-confirmed playable characters, Kula Diamond. If the rumors are
true, expect to see K' and Maxima show up in this game too. Others
include Ralf Jones, Billy Kane, King, and Angel.
Anyway, enough talk. Trailer's below so go check it out and let me know what you guys think. Shu Serian, signing off.
Man I'm on a roll today on blog posts here, now aren't I? Anyway, a random user who I have no idea from where has leaked out the first quarter catalogue for the upcoming 40th Anniversary Super Sentai series set to air next year, the animal-themed (again -_-iii) Doubutsu Sentai JuuOhger. And boy do we have some BIG info.
Okay so get this: For the first time ever, we'll be starting out with 6 members in the main team as opposed to the usual 3 or 5. The members are JuuOhEagle (Red), JuuOhShark (Blue. Note that she's female but not light blue like most female Blue Rangers), JuuOhLion (Yellow), JuuOhTiger (White. The only other female on the team), JuuOhElephant (Green) and JuuOhGorilla (Black).
Another thing to note: The gimmick. The JuuOhger's gimmick are the JuuOh Cubes, which allow them to henshin and summon weapons and mecha. Their henshin device is known as the JuuOhChanger and their sidearm weapon is the JuuOhBlaster. Plus, JuuOhEagle has the EagRiser as a personal weapon.
Now, Mecha. CubeEagle, CubeShark and CubeLion (Red, Blue and Yellow's mecha) combine into the team's main mecha, JuuOhKing, while CubeTiger, CubeElephant and CubeGorilla (White, Green and Black's mecha) combine into JuuOhWild. And yes, there are auxiliary mecha, with CubeGiraffe set to debut.
Anyway, this is all we know for now. What do you guys think? For me, I'm actually a little more interested in this as for both Super Sentai and, subsequently, Power Rangers (possibly), this'll be the first team to start out with 6 members in the core team. Unique, if I might add.
But enough of my opinions. Sound off below what you guys think. As for me, I'll see you guys in the next blog post.
Okay so the pic above is somewhat a placeholder for until I can come up with a proper logo pic for these type of posts (Don't ask. I'll have people nagging at me for make a wordy blog post without visuals.).
So anyway, no news this time but this is something I'm probably gonna be doing quite often, which I unceremoniously call "My Music Interest". But what is My Music Interest? It's basically a series of blog posts that I'll be doing either when I'm free, once a week or once a month. As for what it's about, it's where I share the songs I'm hooked up on lately, be it full songs or just short versions. Just something I thought I'd share just for my readers to learn a little more about me.
So anyway, let's get on with the first, shall we?
_________________________________
PLASMIC FIRE by KOTOKO x ALTIMA
Okay so one of my all-time favorite bands is ALTIMA and on occasion, I do listen to KOTOKO. Both bands are a pretty big part of my otaku fandom. So hearing them perform this song pleases ALOT. And yes, this song is called PLASMIC FIRE and is the opening theme for the upcoming anime, Accel World: Infinite Burst.

1983 -Schwarzesmarken- by fripSide
Okay so here's a question: What do ALTIMA and fripSide have in common? 2 things:-
1. Both have Satoshi Yaginuma a.k.a Sat as member/composer. 3. Both are 2 of my favorite bands.
So anyway, the video above is the opening intro for the visual novel adaption of Muv-Luv: Schwarzesmarken and featuring the opening theme, 1983 -Schwarzesmarken- by fripSide. And yes, I absolutely love it. BTW, Schwarzesmarken is getting an anime adaption too. _________________________________
Can't Stop!! by Sanae Katagiri (Voiced by Azumi Waki)
So let's talk THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls. Yes, I am a fan. Anyway, no videos this time as there's a download for the single online and also because I want people to actually hear the song for themselves.
Anyway, what do I think of this song? Energetic. I'm constantly playing this song on loop most of the time. Though, atleast in my own opinion, this is one of those songs that is meant to be performed live. As for whether this song suits Sanae, quite befitting. The character's always been depicted as someone "genki" and given her background as an ex-police officer, absolutely befitting. _________________________________
Himitsu no Toilette by Shiki Ichinose (Voiced by Kotomi Aihara)
Oh look everyone, another iDOLM@STER song. Yeah this one's the solo single for Shiki Ichinose. This one's not as energetic as Can't Stop!! but it's not a slow song either. Rather, I find it relaxing. I usually listen to this song when I need to relax for abit, which happens alot lately.
As for whether this song suits Shiki or not, no idea. I never really saw her as a cute type of idol, which was how they were marketing her as, but given the song and her voice, I can see now why. Though, I still think she's better off as a Passion idol (Go read up on Cinderella Girls. They categorize the idols under Cute, Cool, and Passion, all based on background and personality).
_________________________________
So yeah here's a sample of some of the songs I've been hooked up on lately. Leave a comment below on your favorite songs, music genre or singers/bands. You can also leave some suggestions too on what I should check out on. I'm mostly into J-Pop, J-Rock, Synthpop, Electronic Rock, Digital Hardcore, though I do listen to other genres from time to time.
Okay. A ton of you guys have already seen this and know this, but hey, Imma still blog about it. Samurai Jack, which originally aired from 2001 to 2004 before getting re-runs here and there, is returning with a totally brand-new season and has been confirmed to air on Adult Swim's Toonami block in the US in 2016, which isn't all that far. Most of you guys already know the plot but the story's simple: a nameless samurai from ancient Japan goes on a mission to slay the powerful demon Aku, but gets sent to a cyberpunk future ruled by Aku. Adopting the name "Jack", this samurai continues his quest to battle Aku while trying to find a way back to his time period.
Anyway, I'm excited. REALLY excited. I grew up watching this show and loved every minute of it. So this pleases me. Unfortunately though, I don't live in the US and a ton of shows on Toonami Asia are re-runs and mostly kids' action shows. Yeah kinda sucks. Which is why I'm hoping that Toonami Asia can do something and have this new Samurai Jack series air on Toonami Asia.
Anyway, a short trailer's below so go check it out and leave a comment.
Okay okay I know I know. I've been busy with real-life shit like work and stuff. Also, the pic above is just a fan art as there's no official art right now, but the subject is related.
Anyway, ratings over at Classificacao Indicativa in Brazil and Australian Classification in, well, Australia reveal something pretty big: A new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 AND Xbox One. The game's called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan and is being developed by Platinum Games and published by Activision. You guys have seen them collab before in Transformers: Devastation and I also previous blogged about Platinum Games' other upcoming work, NieR:Automata.
Anyway, it's no secret that I've been a MASSIVE fan of TMNT ever since I was a kid. Watched all the cartoons and movies and still love it to this day. I remember when I was little, I would pester my parents to buy me a TMNT action figure, especially of Raphael (because Red was my favorite color), every time I spotted an action figure.
So anyway, what do you guys think? Leave your comments below and I'll see you in the next blog post.
