Vexille: Nihon Sakoku

If you just can’t wait for the 2nd installment of the Appleseed Movie (Deus-EX Machina) then i’ve got the answer for you.
Vexille
Vexille is the 2nd project from the creators of Appleseed, it tells about the world where 10 years has passed since Japan decided to leave the United Nations and go into isolation. They have completely surrounded the country with an ultra magnetic field called the R.A.C.E Network which prevents anyone to see what is occuring inside, nor for people to travel in/out of the country. This a result when Japan breached the UN treaty that prohibits the development of all bio and robot technology which has evolved drastically and has become a threat to mankind.


The US government sends in a special task force SWORD, lead by Commander Leon Fayden & female Lt. commander Vexille Serra to investigate what is really happening inside the barricaded country.

man3k’s blog reaches 200+ view per day

An utmost thanks to readers across the continent be it malaysian,singaporean,indonesian or whoever you are for visiting my blog regardless of daily or coincidental surfing. It has been a year and several months since i 1st started this blog for my *mostly online* friends to get an update from me.

A petty personal blog that starts around the end of 2006 after i finished my education. This blog has been a place to contain my insignificant daily ramblings due to hobby reasoning. I love sharing information especially to friends in & out of the country.

Blog Growth
Today, this free wordpress supported blog of mine reached it’s 213th (edit:274th) view per day by passing visitors. I noticed that i couldn’t have done this without the english articles. Even so, i’ll keep on insisting to do Dual-Language articles in fear for illiteracity among fellow citizens. I don’t want to be called as someone who lost his roots just because of language optionality. After all, i’ve set this blog’s primary language as “Bahasa Melayu” for easier local exposure.

For the time being, the categories supported are of which i’ve set my hobbies on. Which is mostly heavy to Japanese Anime & Fighting Games that i dearly love watching/playing. I’d also be glad to share some tips & tricks regarding software and internet which i learn in these passing times before i’m heavily dedicated to daily work.

Buzzer Beater


A 2 season anime of the same name by Slam Dunk creator Takehiko Inoue. Each season comprimised of 13 episodes. Just as two universe of ManKind & Gorans about to wage war. A sport which originated from the earth was suggested as the solution, something that humans & gorans both love. Thus, the peace treaty is signed as long as they agree to play Basketball together. However, later in the years to come. Basketball is now a sports dominated by gorans due to their explosive natural abilities.

The Term “Buzzer Beater” is a shot taken just before the game clock of a period expires, when the buzzer sounds and red lighting framed around the backboard along the scorer’s table lights. This is usually done by the Hero “Hideyoshi”, an orphaned street kid who joined the Selected Earth Team in order to Rightfully retake the glory of basketball to earthlings. His “Extraordinary” abilities in basketball has opened to eyes of the gorans that humans are indeed capable of contending in the Major Intergalactic League.


At first, the main objective of the earth team was to retake the glory of basketball rightfully in the hands of earthlings. But sometime in the middle of the competitive yet very intense season, something came up and starts to destroy hideyoshi’s reason to play…

ClubSega
Kesan daripada penjualan konsol permainan video generasi baru, 2 daripada pengusaha permainan arked di jepun (Sega-Sammy & Namco-Bandai) terpaksa menutup 50 hingga 430 pusat permainan arked mencapai bulan march. Puncanya tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah disebabkan gelombang konsol permainan generasi baru yg kini menyelubungi seluruh dunia. Apatah lagi bila kebanyakkan konsol permainan terkini mampu memainkan hampir kesemua permainan yg terdapat di arked.

——————————————————————————————-

Due to the rise of New-Generation Gaming Consoles such as the Nintendo Wii,Xbox 360,Sony PSP & Playstation 3, Major Arcade Games Operators in Japan Namely “Sega-Sammy & Namco-Bandai” had to shut-down from 50 to 430 Arcade Centers up to march. Needless to say it’s due to the console gaming fever that’s surrounding it’s wave onto nearly the whole world. This is because most of the games that can be are played at the arcades are able to be played on gaming consoles nowadays with the help of gaming gadgets (Virtual Guns,Steering,Dance-Mat,etc).

Both Sega-Sammy & Namco-Bandai must’ve been hurt quite bad that they’re unable to wait for games that could actually revive the arcade scene to be released. (Street Fighter IV,KOF XII)

Guyver – The Bioboosted Armor


The Bio-Boosted Armor Guyver, is an original work of Yoshiki Takaya. Guyver has been a long-running manga since 1985 and still running strong to this day. Due to popularity of its time, Guyver has been adapted for an Original Video Animation that consists 12 episodes and 2 Live-Action movie back in 1991 and 1994. *My favourite was the 2nd movie: Dark Hero* In Half of 2005, Guyver comes again in a form of Anime TV Series consisting 26 episodes. The latest TV series is added with more story up to Volume 9 of the running manga and up-to-date character design.

Fukamachi Sho is dragged onto a new reality of chaos when one day he accidently activated the “Unit-G”. The material then gave him unsurpassed abilities prior to alien technology, to become the Guyver. However, the fact that he wields the suit itself made him the target of a sinister worldwide organization called “Cronos”. Soon enough, wild grotesque creatures started hunting sho for the lost unit-G and his life is never the same as before.


Sho is forced to battle the japanese cronos branch for fearing that his family and friends would be endangered. Little did he knew that Cronos itself is commanded by 12 ZoaLord warriors who are far stronger than the usual ZoaNoids that were ordered to capture him. An unimaginable Dark journey awaits to be unveiled…


Later, he joined forces with Masaki Murakami. Someone who was in persue of the cronos for revenge, given that he knows most of the terror that awaits his companion. He was one of the people who were captured for early experimental creation of the 12th ZoaLord, Richard Guyot.


Makishima Agito will later be revealed as Guyver III. He calls himself “Zeus” *Son of Cronos in Mythological Roman Tales* due to himself being a legitimate successor of the Japanese Cronos Branch and then betrays it for personal reasons.

With the summary told, i dare to say Guyver isn’t just any fictional superhero story but instead, it is indeed Mysterious, Dark and incredibly Epic! Those who have finished watching can continue to enjoy the story starting from Volume 10 of the manga. (Latest volume is 26)

Misc: David Hayter, the actor for Guyver Movie 2 is also the one who voiced for Snake in the Metal Gear Solid game series by Konami.

Kiseki no honôyo moeagare Lyrics? (DBZ Burst Limit Opening Song)

I was wondering *Tried Google Already* if there’s anyone who Know or Can give me both the Japanese Wording & Translation for DragonBall Z: Burst Limit’s Opening Song for the PS3/Xbox360? I’d Greatly appreciate the help..

After listening to the song for a couple of times using the HeadPhone, this is what i’ve Managed to get:

Kiseki no Hono-o yo! Moeagare Yo! Kimi no Kokoro ni. Mirai no Tame.. Menomai ni wa Yami ga semaru.. Go BACK! Shibu Kyoko ni.. Kiba wa.. mo Daeru SAA~! Moteji wa yakitsuriga.. dakedo, Tooku karai ikema no mitaikutte. Itareba yatshiagari Kimi Yo! *Missing*

Kiseki no Hono-o yo, Moeagare Yo! Kimi no Tamashii nii, Shire unzaie Chikara *Missing* Now…. YOU ARE DOWN!!! *SFX: Oi x6*

Countless japanese people are probably laughing at me right now. My-Self-Researched Lyrics are incomplete and may have many errors. Nevertheless, the Prince of Anime|Toku|DBZ *Kageyama Hironobu* has always pleased me with his never-ending best performance for DBZ’s Legacy. :P Laugh all you want but this is purely just for fun.
