Icon Madness!

Currently Listening to: Naraku no Hana by Eiko Shimamiya from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai

Is madness spelled with two d's or one? Ah well, I'm not going to check... On to the dumping of all the 150x150 icons. If you want a 100 by 100 icon, you can either ask me for one that size or just resize the one you want yourself. It's not that hard.


Rules Regarding Icon Use:
* You may redistribute as long as credit is given

* For basic use, no credit is necessary

* When in doubt, LEAVE A COMMENT & YOUR EMAIL (if you don't have a Google account)

* I do take requests, but make sure to be SPECIFIC about what you want and be PATIENT

*Please leave positive feedback! I just started making icons, and I would like your thoughts on them! I can only get better with practice and helpful prodding. *laughs*

Kaworu Icons:
#1 & #2

#3 & #4

#5 & #6

#7 & #8

#10


Tabbi Icons:
#1

Sorry, I don't know what happened to the sizing on #8... I'll post a fixed copy once my shoulders stop aching... Blame the weird angle I was sitting in while photoshoping these. My favorite is #2, mostly because it uses lyrics from one my favorite songs. It fit way to well so I couldn't resist using it. :3

I also spent way too much time on #1. Maybe it's just because that part of the manga bothered me so very much (for anyone who hasn't read it, Kaworu kills a stray kitten, saying it would be kinder than letting it starve). Either way, the end result wasn't half bad.

P.S. Fuck < div > tags. They kept throwing the HTML formating off and when I went to remove all of them, it took forever! Jeez, talk about annoying code. XP! I had to do it 3 FUCKING TIMES, until I figured it out that they were throwing it off! *pulls gun on blogger software* Die you MutherFucker!

Current Game: .hack//MUTATION


Oh, god all mighty, I finally did it! 2 years (total- 32 hours of actual game play) of beating virually corrupt bosses and leveling up, and part 1 is over. Makes me kinda sad, but I'd rather just laugh at Skeith.

I kicked your ass, fucktard! MUWAHAHAHAH!!! *insert more Higurashi style laughing here*

Speaking of Higurashi, check out my new review for Hey Hey Anime. I also finished the 26 episodes of mystery and blood yesterday. For those of you who haven't seen Higurashi here's my five scentances or less summary:

"The first episode is rather normal stereotypical moe: New guy, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa, joins the after school club, goes insane, kills his friends, and claws his own throat out.

Wait, that’s not right…

Well that didn’t work. Hit the cosmic reset button Oyashiro-sama, and let’s see if it works out the 2nd time around…"

I sooo want my own cosmic reset button.

Well, I'm off to make more icons. In truth I have about 20 of Kaworu, almost 40+ of shion/mion, and I think well over 60+ of Rena. But you can never have too many icons, lol (I'm not an icon whore, I swear).

Chu Chu Lovely Hinamizawa!

Finally after days of searching I've found the best one (IMO):



Chu, chu, rami, ni- Stupid song, get out of my head!

Higurashi is Like Crack

Currently Listening to: Animal I Have Become by 3 Days Grace

God do I love Higurashi. I've been setting off finishing it for quiet some time, mostly because I could never find the time to watch it without the risk of my parents walking in on a disturbingly violent scene, but now that I tend to watch my anime at night before I go to sleep I've rediscovered why I gave it a 9 on MAL in the first place. Who can't love a show where you can make merchandise like this:

But really, I absolutely love the way this show is set up. The people who are my friends tend to think that I really abhor violence or that I don't like scary movies, but obviously they don't pay attention to the anime I watch. I mean half the reason I like Higurashi is because it dares to be so violent, despite how cute and innocent the characters may seem.

I tend to like the rush horror movies give me and with Higurashi, it has a great underlying story. Like, I just finished episode 21 where there is basicly a repeat of an arc that happened earlier in the series (those who've seen the series know what I'm talking about) but from a different perspective, which was really neat and really showed that everything in this series isn't what it seems.

It's sad to hear though that the anime doesn't follow the game and actually makes the characters seem slightly more heartless in the anime (Shion for example: in ep. 21 she was actually supossed to survive the inital fall, come to her senses, and then die by ending her own life, with a famous line that I shall not quote for spoiler reasons) I really wish I could speak Japanese and had a region 2 PS2... :[

...And doing a little more googling it seems the french company Editions-Anima wants to include one of the Higurashi games on the 6th disk or give it a seperate release... YES!!!!!!!! Thank god out of all the languages I decided to take in middle school and highschool it was french! That'll give new incentive to learn it and learn it well. *does happy dance* So what if it'll 4 years until I can get my hands on it and there are no plans to release it in the near future? As long as I know I can get the game somewhere I'm happy. :] <3

And a final thing. I've noticed quite a few AMVs for Higurashi featuring the song I'm listening to right now. The idea is stellar, it's just the exacution falls flat on it's face. I mean, I don't think I've seen a single Higurashi video that didn't have subs, more or less any effects... and it's sad to see too!

This is probably the best one I've found so far (bare in mind I haven't looked very hard) that doesn't use Animal I Have Become:

I take that back, this one is:


Either way, it's still hard to find a good Higurashi video.

And yes I am up at an ungodly hour, but I screwed up my sleeping pattern because I wasn't feeling good yesterday and I slept till 5 in the afternoon. To get myself back to my normal patterns I have to basicly stay up all night and go to sleep early the next night. But I won't rest until I've watched the rest of Bokura ga Ita and listened to ART&R's discussion on it.

Well, I'm gonna go type up the review of Battle Angel I wrote (by hand) last night and this morning for Hey Hey Anime and then get ready for church (If I was catholic, confession would sure be interesting, lol). See ya!
