frustrations on CBT; fascinations on H&C

I have been waiting for this game for 6 months and now that the game is near opening, the frustrations are getting stronger. What game? What else? Granado Espada! The game is really beautiful and I was in awe when I first saw it featured in MTV. The game has beautiful graphics with a vast and highly detailed world to explore. The game has a nice soundtrack, sort of a mix of baroque influences with an orchestra appeal to it. It's storyline is pretty simple and straightforward, but what really awed me the most was the new gameplay system. In this MMORPG, the player is able to control characters simultaneously. Of course, I do not know how it exactly works, something about an incredible AI program and Macro system, but the hell with it, I want to play the darn game.

Here are some screenies from the korean website:



Anyways, the reason why I can't play the game is that I haven't received the CBT ID pass yet. They started sending the pass on the last week of January and I've yet to receive mine. Maybe it's punishment for me sending 4 different email accounts when I applied to CBT. Oh well.

I never thought I'd have this one on the first day of my blogging, but this here deserves just that. Really at first it didn't appeal to me much since I always see the parts which talks about nonsense. But when you start watching it, as in really watching it, you see how great this series it, making it one of the best anime series all time.

Honey and Clover is a story about college students going through life as struggling young artists as they deal with life, inspiration and love. The lives of Yuuta, Moriyama, Mayama, Hagumi and Ayumi are the main focus point of the story. Each one has their own story, where each one's story revolves around another main character's story.

It shows a very beautiful story of love and friendship and how they survive life as students. Many can relate to the events that revolve these characters as they watch their lives mirror in the varying personalities of the main casts, only in a more exaggerated sense. There are tear jerking moments, real laughs and emotional involvement once you get to watch Honey and Clover. Honey and Clover does not promise to inspire you and give you answers in real life problems, but they do make sure that you become involved with their lives, facing the same challenges as they do. This is a must watch series.

Currently airing is the second season of Honey and Clover and just lately, Honey and Clover the Movie was released. I'll see the movie when they get the subs done. I haven't finished watching the entire first season but once I do, I'm sure to feature this great series.
