J's Chimes: Cobra The Animation


Cobra The Animation is a long time classic anime about space and pirates written by Buichi Terasawa. It came out as a manga from the late 1970s and then becomes an anime in 1982 before even I was born... An now a new life is given to it once again this season with its new storyline and adventure. At first I was reluctant to watch it because of its artwork but after a few episodes, it got me hookd on just like what Detroit Metal City did to me too. Classics are nice every once in a while and this certainly is one that's worth watching. More info here.

J's Chimes: Sudden Ecchi Suprises


The anime Ladies Vs Butlers caught me by absolute surprise with its ecchi scenes in the middle of nowhere when I was watching it at home where my parents are around... With the lewd sounds and provocative fan-services, episode 4 of this anime shows a couple of scenes of a girl who bares all for the protagonist she would like to marry because of a simple miss... (watch this anime to find out more here) Seriously such scenes can kill you when your Mom founds out about it... Well, ya can't escape from ecchiness from animes as it's part of their everyday lives...

J's Chimes: Meaningful Quotes From Animes


Sometimes, anime teaches you life lessons. The quote 'Because the world isn't as cruel as you take it to be' flashes across my mind these few days after watching the anime Durarara!! Many people thought that anime are for kids and may think that it's childish and inappropriate for people like us. Some of these things maybe be worth thinking in a different perspective because others may have diferent mindsets of what's going on in the anime industry...

J's Chimes: It's About The Eyes


A new anime debuts just this month with a seemingly interesting design of the character's eyes. Katanagatari or translated as the Story of the Swords, is a 50 minutes long anime which tells the story of a girl strategist in search of a man who can help her gather 12 unique swords rumored to be the most powerful in the world. After hearing that there's a swordless warrior who could fight against all odds, she went in search of him in an unhabited island for help. The story is kinda draggy and... what's with the eyes? I guess simple is nice in a way. More details here.

J's Chimes: Anime's Character Origination


I may be wrong but based on what I've seen in the past, I believe that the origination of the atittudes and characters of anime girls comes from the classic game called Tokimeki Memorial. A popular love simulation game in Japan back in the early 90s, this game turns into an anime and franchises of various household items from stickers to stationery that time. Till then various animes have characters with atittudes and stuff from what we would see as of today. And that's about when Yandere, Tsundere and whatever starts coming out of the otaku dictionary...

J's Chimes: Chu-Bra!!


Didn't know much about women's bra until I'd watch the anime titled Chu-Bra!! Based on a manga by Yumi Nakata (And again another manga made into anime...), Chu-Bra!! tells the story about a girl named Nayu Hayama who loves underwears and knows a lot about them. Being a fetish of that sort of stuff brought about her friends ostracizing her of being perverted and immoral. However, her vast knowledge of such has brought about much comedic moments and laughter in the quest of promoting acceptance of underwear to the public as a wonderful necessity instead of ogling at it and sort. More info of the anime here.

J's Chimes: Seikon No Qwaser


This new season also brings in a new anime titled Seikon No Qwaser, adapted from a manga by Hiroyuki Hoshino and reviewed by people as an infamous breast feeding anime. However, many of the scenes are censored heavily with low quality scenes to scenery and such that makes you go 'huh? What the heck is going on?' kinda impression... It is been announced that the uncensored version will be out on the 26 instead and this is just a teaser anime or some sort to get people pondering... An interesting anime so to say but with a couple of Yuri moments and such to perk up the boys. Check out more in their website here.

J's Chimes: Classic Animes Are Good Too


Sometimes it's interesting to watch classic animes too that had long been forgotten. Take Yoiko for example which has been sub by a group just recently. The story's about a girl who attended elementary school but the catch is that she out-grows them and looks like an adult with a good figure. Plenty of comedic moments involving with stuff like what's shown above. Though the art's kinda old, the storyline is rather original as to compared with animes nowadays. Anyway, it's always good to look back every once in a while to relive the older days...

J's Chimes: Ookamikakushi


Another mysterious and dark anime after 11 Eyes in this season would be Ookamikakushi or translated as Hiding Wolves. This anime tells the story of a town in the mountains that had plenty of dark secrets of wolves in hiding. The reapers thus would come out at night to execute those wolves that went berserk over the scent of humans. The male protagonist soon discovers the abnormally as things are getting strange with each passing day... Visit the website here for more info.

J's Chimes: Oppai Ga Ippai


Dieselmine, a Japan Eroge Company came out with a seemingly peculiar game called Oppai Ga Ippai which players could choose from 2 characters to ermm... council them from their problems (And massaging them at the same time). This is one H game that focuses so much on the chest alone unlike other games presentation. Eroges are changing as time passes where people wants more interaction and playability so maybe such short games could perk them up indefinitely...

J's Chimes: Resolution Fixed


Finally manage to fix the resolution problem with a new wallpaper behind. It seems that Flickr doesn't accept 1920 x 1020 pictures for this background and thus the scripting begins...

J's Chimes: Seikan Hikou


For some reason or another, I got hooked to Macross Frontier Songs these days... Probably because of the translation of the documentary show 'My World My Blog' (Check previous post for more details). One of them particularly would be Seikan Hikou which could also be seen at Episode 12 of the Macross Frontier anime. And you could even see parodies, fan made, performances and such from Youtube about Seikan Hikou. And not to forget, Ranka Lee's favourite sign can be seen everywhere... But seriously, it originates from the real singer Megumi Nakajima and the anime just follows it...

J's Chime: Innocent But Deadly


If you haven't really notice it before, here's another glance of this picture from the classic anime Cardcaptor Sakura... Though the anime maybe pure at times, there are some things in which are not notice and long forget about it. So in any case, something is very wrong with this picture and if you do see it, you'd know what I do mean. It just catches you off guard when you least expect it. Still yet to know what's wrong with this picture? Watch closely or ask someone else to help you spot the problem...

J's Chimes: Anime Girls


Spotted this on the internet. The person who made this really took a lot of time putting them altogether. Seriously animes are not without girls, else not much of an attraction if ya know what I meant... Anyway, can you actually name all of them for the animes you've watch? A test to see if ya know your stuff and that whether you're qualify as an otaku of sorts... For me, there are 6 characters in this entire group that I do not know of. What about you?

J's Chimes: New Studio Desktop


My new computer had finally arrived last Friday and am so eagerly waiting to set it up for use. Had to disconnect the wires and stuff for my previous computer before I could actually make way for the new computer. Nevertheless it took me more than 4 hours just doing so because of the numerous wires and plugs behind...


The first thing I'd open up would be the new cpu which is so darn heavy. A sense of excitement engulfed me as I started assembling them all up. It definitely looks so much different from my previous computer and pack a punch with its modernised look and professionalism.


In comes the monitor and it's so much bigger than the previous as seen in the photo. Somehow, the old computer seems inferior and lonely now. It's a good thing I've bought a new table for it or else I would not have enough space for both computers.


Setting it up is seriously a challenge as the wires and plugs exceeded what I think it is... Check out this power point and socket and you'd see what I mean. Entangling wires and such are a big problem and had to tie them all up as much as possible... Been setting it up past the 6 hour mark and seriously fatigue sets in greatly. A one man show is tough...


Finally got everything in place and began putting the miscellaneous stuff on the table. Now my room looks so much like an office... Seriously if ya begin comparing them, there's so big a difference after 5 years using my old computer. Lastly, I'd began setting up everything into place.


First time I'd do? Installing game of course! And L4D2 is first on the list. It's incredibly amazing and the graphics are so good and clear that I couldn't believe this is actually happening... My new computer has finally come! After the 7 hr mark, I began installing various programs and do backup for my previous computer to transfer the data to the new computer... It sure is tough as it's already midnight at 2am... Days will never be the same again and am looking forward to updating J's Chimes with the new computer... hopefully am able to solve the resolution problem...

J's Chimes: Animes And Toilets


Love anime so much that you'd just had to have one wallpaper of your favorite character pasted on the walls to keep you calm and do your stuff with ease? Now I could understand why that guy chooses the one not wearing anything...lol. Well in any case, this is certainly a imaginative concept just to give you some pretty wild thoughts about how anime can actually be used for various purposes other than what it originally were. That's a cute looking funnel urinal too if I do say so myself... If Singapore does this too, imagine what the kids and the public might say...

J's Chimes: Ecchi In Animes


No matter what animes which you watch, there would definitely be at least 1 ecchi moment in it. Take for example the famous anime Bleach also does have a moment whereby Yoichi unveils herself from a cat to a woman in front of Ichigo. Such are that of Japanese culture but at times they are good in blending such with comedic moments to make you forget about what it actually is for example the male protanganist getting slapped after seeing some girls naked etc. Sometimes it's just hard for others to understand and even think its perverted but thats what animes are and that since many H games have become anime, I don't see why it shouldn't be too.

J's Chimes: Omamori Himari


This season's anime is kinda interesting and plenty to look forward to. Another anime which catches my attention is Omamori Himari. This anime definitely has a couple of concepts and storyline taken from various animes previously. Some similarities would anime like from Maburaho (3 Girls and their personalities), Spice and wolf (Ears!), Nyan Koi! (Cat allergy), 11 Eyes (Sword welding girl and monsters), Kanokon (Forceful girls...lol), Tayutama (Spirits and stuff), whew... Anyway this is one nice anime to watch and pump yourselves up for the New Year ahead. More info can be viewed here.

J's Chimes: Baka To Test To Shokanju


Baka To Test To Shokanju or translated as Idiot and Test and Summoned Beast, is a new anime that caught my attention this season which is so comedic that I just had to watch this over. It's a story about exams and such and those who did well will study in comfort whereas those who did well will study in a run-down classroom with broken amenities. However, classes can issue challenges against each other and winners can swap classrooms as a reward. Lol, if classes are like that everyday, things would get pretty intense and interesting. A seriously must watch anime this season. Check out the website at http://www.bakatest.com/ for more info.

J's Chimes: A Cosplayer's Story

Finally completed subbing this documentary and had uploaded it on Youtube. I would like to thank YY for recording and setting the timings for the subtitles. In this episode of My World My Blog, we look into the story of a girl and her cosplaying dream. The video is split into 3 parts because of Youtube's limitations. To turn on the subtitles, click on the arrow icon on the bottom right of the screen. Click on 'CC' when the icon pops up.

Part 1 of My World My Blog


Part 2 of My World My Blog


Part 3 of My World My Blog


So next time ya watch people cosplay and stuff, you really should appreciate the hard work and effort put into making those and all the pains along the way. Seriously, think before you start criticizing about one's costume without getting the facts right. In any case, would also want to make a costume once am done with my studies for this semester.

J's Chimes: Subbing And Translations


I begin to appreciate fan subbers for animes and such more after translating a Chinese documentary show myself till late night yesterday. Seriously, you'd never know how tough it is until you tried it yourself. Even though the show is only about 30min long, it took me 3 hours to complete it. And that does not include editing and inputting it into the show. Titled 'My World My Blog', will be uploading this to my blog and youtube once it's done. So next time you're getting impatient, do not take things for granted that fan subs are slow because they really do put in a lot of effort and no pay for you all to enjoy your animes.

J's Chimes: Isekai No Seikishi


One of the animes am currently watching and interests me very much is titled 'Isekai No Seikishi'. Sometimes the title is kinda weird because it can mean in English translation as Sexy Alternate World... If you'd love Tenchi Muyo from the past, then this is another one of those animes you'd definitely like to see. Plenty of action and also heart beating moments that will surely make you want to watch more... An episode is around 45 minutes long so its quite a lengthy anime. Watch while you can cause this anime is coming to a climatic stage now.

Anticipating a new computer which will arrive next week or after. Having been using my old computer for almost 6 years, it's time for a little change and stepping into a far more powerful computer to do my work... and of course, blogging. Bought a Dell XPS 9000 series which includes an i7-960 3.2ghz Processor, 6gb ram, 1.5tb hard drive and 1gb ATI Radeon 5870. A bit of an overkill but for investment wise, should last more than 5 years from now. Hopefully can get it asap and then can play quality games on a 24 inch HD monitor too... lol.

J's Chimes: Negotiations With Mahjong


One of the most epic randomness animation that surprises me this year. Reform without wasted draws - The Legend of Koizumi is an exaggerated political anime that uses current issues and resolving it with a game of mahjong... Yes indeed. The battle is between North Korea and Japan and somehow or rather, the president appears to play mahjong... The Taepodong missile also comes into the play which keeps me thinking whether this anime would spark problems in future though it's just a parody. Anyway please watch and judge it yourself.
