Mirabilis

I hate how I seem to have so little time to do everything I would like to do in a day. Volume 1: Ch. 2: Battle appears to be commencing between two massive armies. As figures in futuristic vehicles continue to battle each other, other worldly creature seem to join the fray. And as one person continues to push into hostile territory, people can only woder what could be on this individuals mind...

Thank you ryuki and no there are more pictures, they are in the Firs Cosplay photo gallery on my page. And now for an update. I have finished Volumes 1 and 2 for my story. My artist has shown me the character designs which are completely fascinating. Words cannot fathom how incredible of a job, he has done. He is now working on Volume 1 as I move to completing Volume 3. Volume 1: Ch. 1: A global catastrophe has occured. In a sinlge day over 2. billion people have vanished without any sign or hint as to where they have gone to. The world has become a cold place, a place of so many questions, so much pain and grief, and yet no answers to be found. With such a golden opportunity politicians take the light, promising people answers, promising to come out of such a heart ache that has never shacken the world to its core before. And with the eyes of the world on one man, he becomes self proclaimed ruler...of the world.

Personally I am completely dissapointed in the way the story has headed. I've been following this whole "fullbring" arch sense it started, and I think it's a mochary of what bleach stands for. Every single item has souls? Paper/ Pencils? Lamps? Walls? Strings? do they all pass on? Are their Soul Reapers for them? I think that is extremely lame, and I just plainly don't care for it. Granted the action is cool, but honestly i think it's a joke of an arch. At first, I thought the "Fullbring" when it was first starting out, was going to be items that held spiritual singificants to the individual and through that item, they were able to harness their spiritual power. I.E. Chad's gold coin. Turns out I was completely wrong on that theory. I see this arch as the majin buu saga of DBZ. This new villain I think it's really a joke. Honesty I don't really see him as all too evil. More like a punk, but he hasn't really done anything "Evil" per say, at least not yet. Aizen isn't out of the picture by no means. I hope I don't sound rude when I say I don't see how this new villain is more evil then Aizen, when Aizen Personally, this is just my own opinion, but this has had to be apart of Aizens plan all along. Besides that point Gin and we still have a ton of that have yet to be revealed including so there's no way we've seen the end of him. Curios though whatever happened to all the

THANKS so much guys! It really means alot. I've been workin on this story for three years, now and I greatly appriciate the support. Some of you might even remember when I was first story plotting it. I am extremely happy, and excited to see things working out, for the better. I can't wait to get my first chapter done! And anyways... FINALLY!!!! My friend has emailed me my Aptom cosplay from three years ago! UGH! I tried to upload them here, but it was too big. But if you want to see them, you can check my fb, i uploaded them to that too. I only used house hold items, and my mother did an exceptional job on the burn scar. It a really great first cosplay, and for nothing except what I could salvage really.

Today I had a meeting with an artist andd friend I met at Mizumi con, and things went beyond expectations. I mean things went extremely good. He told me straight up he loves my story, the idea, and that he's going to work with me. We hit it off, talking about concepts, finer details, and presenting it to Anartic Press. Things are going very well right now for it, and I am looking forward to working with him. For more information on the story, here is the Distant Wings Page: http://www.japan-legend.com/forum/index.php/topic/6287-distant-wings/

I just finished Mobile Suit: Gundam ZZ yesterday and I didn't like it at all, major dissapointment. It became more like a chore watching it, instead of enjoyment. I hate animes like that, but atleast now I know what happened in terms of events, personally I thought it was a joke of a series, and I don't consider it to be apart of the Gundam franchise much like how I don't consider G Gundam or the Guyver Live Action movies to be apart of their franchise. I could go on about why I didn't like it however I feel as if it'd be mute to do so, but thats just me alot of people really liked it and enjoy the show, don't let me scare you away from it, this series just wasnt for me.

Durendal hit alot of good points but what he was refering to was specifically to Mobile Suit: Zeta Gundam. Zeta gundam was really good, it did have some moments that rathered annoyed me I will say (the whole Katz crap for ex). But it was really something worth while. But ryuki, you said you have never seen a gundam show, and want to know, what it is that makes it worth the time. Well to try to explain it, there are so many different shows and sub arcs, so not all of them are in the same timeline or universe. There is respectfully: Universal Century (UC) Future Century (FC) After Colony Era (ACE) Cosmic Era (CE) and Correct Century (CC) I believe this is correct, Durendal please correct me if I am wrong about this. The orginial Gundam takes place in the Universal Century which is the main Gundam franchise. Now to me, what makes Gundam so amazing, is its never ending surprises. The politcal parts are always moving around in a spiral, while it shows how the people have to suffer. It goes on to show how rough the battlefields are, (which by the way the battles are always planned out so well). The fights are incredible, and the brutality of war is shown first hand. As well as how each persons motives change drastically throughout the course of the story, and how sly the politicians are in achieving their goals. The incredible awe of space, and how people live in the conditions. The terminology and the powers that come with the I mean it is really a great show. (Though some people don't like it, becuase of how big the robots are) but personally I don't mind it. Now my favorite gundam show thus far, is Mobile Suit: Gundam Wing this show takes place in the After Colony Era, and doesnt have anything to do with the original gundam, or the UC timeline. There are several reasons why I like this show the best so far, one of which is I love how all the main hero's have a common goal, but not only do they have completely different methods of achieving that goal but they all have different motivations for doing the things they do. Another reason why I like it the best, is all the characters There are many other reasons why I like this show the best so far, character development I think was done extremely well, along with the obsessions of achieving specific tasks, from key players. The political parts where well played, and The battles were always awesome, I thought so anyways, and finally like Mobile Suit: Gundam 08th MS Team it was animated for a more mature audience giving it a even more realistic feel to the events. If you want to watch the primary series in order though, here is the list of events that take place. (Again Durendal please correct me if I'm wrong) Mobile Suit: Gundam Mobile Suit: Gundam 08th MS Team Mobile Suit: Gundam 0080 War In the Pocket Mobile Suit: Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory Mobile Suit: Zeta Gundam Mobile Suit: ZZ Gundam Mobile Suit: Char's Counter Attack Mobile Suit: Gundam Unicorn Mobile Suit: Gundam F91 Mobile Suit: Victory Gundam I believe that is all the (UC) material, and here is the official gundam website were you can find more information if you are interested. I hope this wasnt too overwhelming hehe... My link

Just finished Mobile Suit: Zeta Gundam wow. Is all I can say WOW.

Yes I've always wanted to watch them, (U.C.) but could never find them. And I want to watch them in order of events, not only one side, or Amuro vs. Char. I like to see all the gundam events and battles and such. Speaking of which, have you heard of Gundam Igloo? Saw something about that, but I don't know anything about it, or if it's even really a series... Just finished: Mobile Suit: Gundam 08th MS Team Mobile Suit: Gundam: 0080 War In the Pocket and Mobile Suit: Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory 08th MS Team was incredible, so far from the series Ive' watched all the way through it is my second favorite, followed by War In the Pocket, which was also very good. I didn't really care for Stardust Memory, and kind of got bored with it, but still wanted to watch t all the way through. Now moving on the Mobile Suit: Zeta Gundam once again. Hoping this time I will finish it all the way through. I've seen the beginning and the end, but not in between haha!

Some really cool Japanese songs. Onmyouza Kureha PV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k7l3czxxM8 Kokui no tennyo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_uTeKlJmoA

Aww, I am very sorry guys, you know its kind of funny, because before I posted that, I wanted to make sure there was no mention of it, I must of missed that, oh well. Again sorry friends.

Legendary Pictures has announced a remake of Godzilla, for 2012. My link My link theres lots of info all over the web if you wan to google it.

Just finished Ronin Warriors, Karas, Wolf's Rain, Trigun, Crest of the Stars, Banner of the Stars, Tactics, and finally, for my 20th anime I wanted to do something special. I just finished the 1979 Mobile Suit: Gundam series, I am happy I finally watched it all the way through haha! Karas was a really awesome show, it was familiar and yet different, kind of like a guyver/power rangers fighting robot demons was sick! Wolf's Rain a very awesome show. Loved the character development and the incredible ending. My own opinion but thought it was done really well, and it had one of the coolest villains who was protrayed very well. Trigun honestly, do I need to say anything? Crest of the Stars Is the intro (series) to banner of the stars. It was really a sweet anime. Loved the whole thing, awesome ship designs, and interior, as well as piloting it. Loved the political angles, and the battles were really cool. Stay clear of english version as most animes it wasnt too good. Banner of the Stars This is the main story of the characters introduced from Crest of the Stars. The battles were indeed much more dramatic and alot more pain stricken. I didn't care too much for series 2 of this show, as it all revolved around one thing, that was kind of meh. But I wont ruin it for you all, and it was still a cool show to watch. The best thing that I liked about these two shows is that it had that same Wondrous/Mysterious Awestrucking Powerful Feeling of Space, that Zeta Gundam had. Tactics This show wasnt all that impressive in my opinion. It was okay, but it wasnt anything great. Mobile Suit: Gundam Words cannot fathom this series. I've seen most of these animes (along with many, many others ones) but I never did finish them, or watched them from start to finish like the ones below. I.E. Ronin Warriors, among others, until a while ago. The list doesnt count in Feature Films below, as I do not consider them to be a series. My Completed Anime List In Order of Finishing Them: Dragonball Z Bio-Boosted Armor: Guyver Zoids: Future Century Zero Mobile Suit: Gundam Wing Yu-Gi-Oh! Yu Yu Hakusho Blue Gender Slayers Inuyasha Claymore Code: Geass Heat Guy J Ronin Warriors Karas Wolf's Rain Trigun Crest of the Stars Banner of the Stars Tactics Mobile Suit: Gundam Now moving on to more Gundam series.

It's been a long time since I've posted in here and alot of things have happened. A while ago, I saw Battle L.A. which was incredible, and amazing film 10/10 I mean, it was pure brilliant! I also saw Red Riding Hood, which was also really good. I'd give it a 9/10. Besides that, I went to an anime con last saturday, Mizuumi-con, though it was very short notice, so I wasn't able to cosplay anyone. However it was still very fun, and I got some information I was looking for, and talked with some Anartic Press Publishers. Over all, things are kind of just nuetral right now. Don't feel too well, but also am just watching the days go by...

Wow, it sounds like things are getting interesting in your life. hahahaha! My parents dogs chew the crap out of anything with chords, headphones etc. So it always ticks us off, when we find a pair, or any chewed up wires.

Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC), I was in the Air Force JROTC, I showed a clip of my unit prior to my entry in the cool vid's thread. They were doing their Armed Exhibition Routine. It was a great program they have, and hope more people will try it out personally.

Ahh, sorry, yet again I fail to use A.T.D. as taught in JROTC. bleh sorry bout that, ryuki.

You should, and then show us in the amv thread. Once I can afford the right programs I want to be able to make amvs too. I was going to do one for a school project a while ago, but I didn't have full access to the program and computers and such, so I wasnt able to make it, and had to do something else instead.

Ahh okay, but I've not heard druids referred to as skinwalkers before, is that the term they use in the U.K.? When I was in english 303 we had to do cultural projects, and I did Ancient Egyptian and Celtic Society, and it referred to the priests of the tribes as druids, and here are some links and such. Basically there were three major jobs in the celtic reilgious aspect: Ovates: These guys were your basic nurses and doctors. They would treat battle wounds, and the likes of. Bard: these guys memoriesed songs, poems, and were historians. They made sure the continuation of traditions and records lived on, through the next generation. Druid: These guys were like the scientists, and doctors. They used herbs for medicine, and were personal advisors to the tribal leader. They could talk to the Gods, and used astronomy, and passed down most hostorical documents to the bards. When I read about ancient werewolf myths and legends it said, that those who thought they were werewolves were known as skinwalkers so maybe it's different terms for our nations... http://ezinearticles.com/?History-of-the-Celtic-Druids&id=1477679 http://www.britannia.com/wonder/michell2.html I would post another vid, but it has some brief nudity in it, and it might not be aporpriate for this site. P.S. I think I am going to start on my costume when I get back from michigan next week, so I am gonna look around the house and see if theres anything I can use, after I watch your video. Thanks again, for the assistance ryuki!

Zombies have feelings too... The Zombie Love Song enjoy haha!

Okay thanks aton ryuki! And they didnt wear animal pelts? Thats a shock, cause I thought the druids wore dear skins and antlers and the likes of.
