Aside from the poster of the game cover, there's nothing really that comes extra with the premium edition. The music however, sounds fantastic. I'm not sure if it's the same in Ciel nosurge, but it looks like they kept the quality of the hymmnos concert tracks throughout the soundtrack.
All the way up to the third game the soundtrack and the hymmnos song magic always felt separated but from Zerrethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11474999471131236419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205097721911988616.post-45639078028598973722014-09-28T12:08:00.003-04:002014-09-28T12:08:50.130-04:00Fairy Fencer F Premium Edition
Very straight forward collector's edition. I definitely can't wear the beanie, it's not very deep and in danger of just sliding off my head.One thing to note is how misleading they were about the music that Nobuo Uematsu worked on. From the looks of it, he worked on the main theme ONLY and even that was a collaboration. Going through the soundtrack, it's noticeable as well.

I wasn't even charged on the 10th like they said they would and so I decided to take a look back at my order.
I was about to send customer support an email when I scrolled to the bottom that I then saw this.

Toonami's been back for about two months now but at least among the people I come into regular contact with, it seems to have died down considerably. Perhaps it's because we are now the new members of today's working society that we no longer have time to dedicate to TV and rather rely on OnDemand and Streaming to be able to watch whenever we have the time to, but I also get the feeling that Zerrethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11474999471131236419noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205097721911988616.post-28918991037639851672012-03-31T16:51:00.001-04:002012-04-01T03:11:53.099-04:00VGHS Post Production Update SpoilersSo Freddie Wong decided to give an update regarding "Video Game Highschool" a series that was funded by kickstarter and they decided to be mean and give spoilers lasting 2 frames throughout the video.

This week's review will be on the anime "Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou" (Or "Daimaoh," for those of you used to the old transliteration).

First off, let me say "Yes, that is the title of the show." I'm sure you're aware of the tentative grasp of the English language Japanese have, and evidence of such is littered throughout the internet and the country of Japan. So, do I have any idea how to translate that title into something that's understandable? Absolutely not. Nor will I even try. That is simply too much effort and Zerrethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11474999471131236419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9205097721911988616.post-31752335311332543122011-07-11T18:17:00.002-04:002011-07-11T18:42:45.028-04:00www.sketchpad.tv - Live streaming site for artists by artistsFirst off.

A commission received from someone who bought the super large Rin poster that Al drew in crayon. His plans for NYAF this year is to try and sell disks containing the image files. To compensate, he'll be drawing on larger scale. As of now this one is 4000x3000 but I think he said he'd be going for even larger.
His coloring process changed from the last time I checked.

Finals were coming up so I wasn't sure how to deal with this one to be honest. In the end, he finally decided to do it.
