Side7 is finally back up! I thought maybe it was down for good this time, and I was really dreading having to re-upload so much old stuff to dA in order to keep it online.

I've been playing my YGO Nightmare Troubadour game and loving it, although I'm really impatient to get to the parts I got the game for (the Big 5 and Marik)! And I have to say, as skeptical as I was about playing some OC, there's a definite thrill about walking around town and having all these characters I've loved for so long wanting to talk to me and be friends with me. Tonight I fought Seto for the first time and even knowing it was just an AI, I was nervous and wanted to impress him, lol. Which is pretty much how I'd feel if he were real, alright.

My only real objection is that apparently whoever made the game thought that all players would be male; the OC is called "him" by Yami Yugi at one point. I call foul! But eh, I'll just insist on it being a typo, since there are some weird typos and sentence structure in this game. ("Let's already return"? Seriously?)

I had been considering getting some other games for my 2DS, but I don't know if or when I really will. I was having fun with the Mario Maker and the Sonic games I electronically bought and downloaded, but I really got the 2DS for this specific YGO game and once I had the YGO game, I haven't played anything else on it. I am determined to play this game all the way through and beat it so I can duel whomever I want, whenever I want! Especially if Duel Links never adds Marik or the Big 5! (I really think they might be leading up to Marik, though, especially when Ishizu and Rishid are still getting increased exposure lately, even hosting a new series of cutscenes for some Duel Quizzes. But maybe it's just wishful thinking. Especially since people seem to know ages in advance when new characters are coming and apparently nothing's been said about Marik.)

I've been watching a lot of Sonic X episodes lately, and weirdly enough, in the season 1 episodes and early season 2, I'm actually really liking Amy. She's cute and sweet when she isn't hitting people who don't deserve it, and I wonder if she didn't do that as much as I thought she did. I also wonder why she got so crabby later, as she's usually in a bad mood in season 3. (Although there's certainly plenty of reason to be in a bad mood with so many horrors going on!) And I am amused when she hits someone who does deserve it; her slamming Eggman in his hovercraft into the sky was pretty funny, LOL.

I also finally got my furry Shadow plush! He came last week and I'm just nuts about him. This isn't the Tomy one, but a bigger one I found on Amazon and ended up falling in love with. The fur feels like minky, and really might be, since that's a polyester-based material and he is polyester. Apparently he's a Korean plush. I really might buy the Amy in this line, since it's so incredibly soft and since I'm actually liking Amy in a lot of these episodes. I hope she'll come back; she's disappeared twice now from the shop. I'll have to check again and see if she's back. The downside is, if they keep selling out so fast, I'd have to hurry and get her as soon as possible, and I was hoping my next purchase could be getting those Megaman manga I'm missing. But I kind of don't want to miss out on this plush.

I also finally watched my Full Moon DVD. I was only waiting because I wanted to see it in Japanese and I didn't know if I felt up to reading subs, but I ended up watching it in English anyway. I thought I'd set it to Japanese, but when it started playing in English I just let it go and decided I'd hear the voice cast. Maybe it's because it's been so long, but I actually liked the English voice cast. And I remembered why I loved that series so much. It's just so sweet and pure. I don't know how anyone could watch it and not be happy in most of the episodes (although a few did get really sad and the finale was bittersweet, but so, so beautiful). I feel so sad again that they stopped releasing the DVDs about halfway through. That's why I never bothered to get the DVDs, but I should have got what there was. I'll want them all now. I wonder if the whole series might be on Crunchyroll, at least. I'll have to check.

I definitely liked the anime better than the manga, although the manga had some good things too. But I remember being unimpressed with the manga until volume 3, and then as I mentioned once, I was disturbed by some of the things the manga Meroko was up to (mainly how badly she got on the rocks with Mitsuki in volume 4). She's quite a dark character in the manga, and I like her as cute and perky (and not intent on committing murder!) in the anime. I also really liked the resolution better in the anime, although both had nice elements. I remember not really feeling the Takuto/Mitsuki pairing because they seemed more like brother and sister to me. Not sure what I think now.
