I. Am. Elli

I just finished watching it, and then *poof* I decided to put a short review of this movie in my blog, since I can't think of anything creative. ;]

So, to start off, the movie was great nonetheless, even though I'm not in the romantic state right now. The plot is kinda' predicatable, and I must say that sometimes I believed the scripts about the likes of men. Do you girls think that guys are really just looking for lust? I don't think so. The comedy was really natural, specially with the "panties"(you guys discover what's so funny about it). Overall rating, I'd give it a 9/10 since I'm a fan of romantic comedy.

I'd recommend this to all of my friends, since the movie was great.

AION, my most-awaited game and probably by my guildmates too. Well, we all know why this MMORPG game is so famous. High quality graphics, great gameplay, awesome effects and variety of classes, what more can you ask for? It's like all MMORPG were combined into one game, Perfect World's character customization for example. Only ROHAN's Vengeance System is missing. Out of 10 I would rate this 11/10, because it's beyond greatness. Even though it's P2P(Pay 2 Play) the expenses pays off, because you'll be satisfied by it's quality. One thing I also liked about the game is the variety of classes, there's a whole lot of classes to choose from. The character customization is also great, it's VERY detailed, and when I say detailed, ranging from eye brows to beards and even body types like masculine or normal. when I saw it in-game I was so suprised by how AION is VERY DETAILED, from the moving sky and passing night and day to the casting of skills. You'll never think that it's just a game.

There are four primary classes, and eight specialized classes in the game. Players start the game by choosing one of the four primary classes: Warrior, Mage, Scout, or Priest. After attaining level 10, the players must choose from the two specialized classes associated with that base class. This allows players to get a feel for the playstyle of the class before making a major decision as to which class to play for the rest of the game. Each faction will have a slight variation in class skills.

Mage

Mages have weak physical combat ability but they can launch devastatingly powerful magic attacks, they are the primary ranged magical damage dealers. There are two specializations possible for mages: Spiritmasters and Sorcerers.

Sorcerer

The sorcerer follows the path of magic, mastering the elements of water, fire, wind, and earth. A sorcerer's skill set becomes very diverse as their combat ability evolves.

* Special ability: Long range damage spells
* Play style: Magical ranged damage dealer

Spiritmaster

Spiritmasters are the only summoning class in the game. They can control water, fire, earth, and air spirits.

* Special ability: Summoning powerful elemental spirits
* Play style: A pet class with ranged DPS power

Priest

Spiritual warriors, priests can use healing and self-protection spells to excel in melee combat, and launch powerful ranged magic attacks too. This makes them not only useful support characters in a party of adventurers, but also powerful combatants in their own right. There are two priest specializations: Clerics and Chanters.

Chanter

The Chanter is primarily a buff provider, but also has access to healing and damage spells. Aions only true hybrid class.

* Special ability: Fortification magic using healing and mantras
* Play style: Healing, attacking, and enhancement magic. In addition to its magical abilities, it also possesses exceptional skills involving the use a Bo staff. The chanter uses mantra magic to inspire the morale of allies, and since it can strengthen abilities, it is the gathering center during battle.

Cleric

Healer class. Able to raise the dead.

* Special ability: Healing and protection
* Play style: The Cleric is the main Healer in the world of Aion. Also capable of resurrecting allies, the Cleric possesses a core position within the group. Gameplay consists of removing negative effects on party members and oneself, and keeping the party alive. The Cleric's equipment provides tremendous defensive potential that is only surpassed by the Warrior classes.

Scout

The scout combines great agility with swift attacks. Scouts must specialize into one of two sub-classes: Ranger or Assassin.

Assassin

Assassins are experts in deft movement and the silent termination of their target.

* Special ability: Striking without detection
* Play style: Stealth DPS

Ranger

The ranger is the only physical ranged damage class in Aion.

* Special ability: Range diversity of attack
* Play style: Ranged DPS with traps

Warrior

Warriors excel in close-quarter combat. Strong performers in a wide range of situations, Warriors are relatively easy to master. Warriors must specialize into one of two sub-classes: gladiators, who concentrate on dealing damage (DPS), or templars, who combine fierce fighting with defensive chants and techniques (tanks).

Gladiator

Gladiators can use many types of melee weapons, ranging from swords to halberds.

* Special ability: Close combat
* Play style: Close combat DPS along with good AoE

Templar

Fighting with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, the Templar is both guardian and fierce combatant. To remain effective, the Templar should stay on or close to the front firing line.

* Special ability: Protection chants
* Play style: Tanking. The Templar acts as a guardian, fighting with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, protecting others on the battlefield.

And so I was inspired to write again. Lol.

For this blog entry, I decided to introduce my second favorite anime made by the same author of Nana(Oh yes I'am much enthralled by Yazawa's works). This anime had a big impact on me, because I started to create clothing pattern after I watched this. Well, it's not really a boring love story. Fashion, love, dreams and lust are all put together in this anime. The story revolves around Yukari and George(who is obviously hot). Yukari is a typical high-school student who listens to her parents and attends school everyday. As she starts to question her way of life, she encounters a group of fashion design students who has a clothing label known as "Paradise Kiss". The group needs to find a model to showcase their designs in an up-coming fashion show and decides to pick Yukari instead. Initially, Yukari was reluctant to be associated with this seemingly eccentric group, but eventually, she realizes that they are really nice people. Furthermore, their passion and enthusiasm to follow their ideals and dreams make Yukari realise that she has not been enjoying her life and this motivated her to pursue her own dreams. Beiing able to interact with this eccentric group, Yukari finds herself falling in love with George, an extremely charismatic student of Yazagaku, who is also the leader of the group.
The way it is drawn may not be good for those who likes modern animes with very detailed drawings, but it has a good story. ;]

Characters:

Yukari "Caroline" Hayasaka (早坂紫, Hayasaka Yukari)
Yukari is the heroine of the story, a high school student who is tired of the meaningless and repetitive life that has been forced upon her by her uptight mother. She eventually models for Paradise Kiss after being "kidnapped" by Isabella and whisked away to Paradise Kiss' "atelier". She is often referred to, inexplicably, as "Caroline" by Miwako.

Jōji "George" Koizumi (小泉譲二, Koizumi Jōji)
George is an eccentric, handsome, and extremely charismatic student of Yazagaku who has extraordinary talent with a gift for fashion design, haute couture in particular. Despite his cold demeanor, he has extravagant ideas on everything, most of which are not accepted by the general public. He wants Yukari to become an independent woman, as well as a girl that will take responsibility for her own mistakes. He considers himself bisexual, or as he says, "an equal opportunity lover"; he also makes constant reference to how good he is with knots, and offers to tie people up repeatedly. His appearance is loosely based on Brian Slade of Velvet Goldmine, and several references to the film are made by him in the manga.

Miwako Sakurada (櫻田実和子, Sakurada Miwako)
A student of Yazagaku who works with George to run their own brand, Paradise Kiss. She is the younger sister of the Happy Berry brand's creator/president, Mikako Kouda.

Arashi Nagase (永瀬嵐, Nagase Arashi)
Arashi is a student of Yazagaku with a taste for punk style, piercings, and alternative music. He is Miwako's boyfriend, they have both known each other--along with Hiroyuki Tokumori--from childhood.

Daisuke "Isabella" Yamamoto (山本大助, Yamamoto Daisuke)
Isabella is the mother figure to the members of ParaKiss. This tall Yazagaku student is the epitome of high class and femininity. Isabella inspired George's very first dress during childhood, and often had the habit of taking every piece of clothing that he finished.

Have fun trying out this anime.

Cheerios~
