Life
There comes a time in the pondering individuals life in which he must ask himself "How do I know I exist." This is a question which many want to avoid because they cannot seem to formulate a cohesive answer as they are treading a thought process not required in everyday life. However I have undertaken the task of answering this question which I have found myself asking.
Around us we experience many things, all of which can very easily be attributed to us creating a world to live in to stave off the boredom. This is a bit of the inspiration for works such as The Matrix, however if we are creating our own realities then who is to say that any person exists. I understand that I am typing this and that maybe it will be viewed, but how do I know that they are not simply amalgamations of my mind and meant to give me gratification or criticism. This is the question we all must ask ourselves "is there anything which can define reality?" The answer? No, we live in our own realities everyday (assuming that there is more than one consciousness), we take experiences in our own ways and have vastly different paths.
The issue of identity becomes apparent and really can only be summed in a way that has already been done before by more pretentious people. We have no idea if anything is real but take solace in the fact that no-one is sure of what is going on if this reality is not real. In order to accept that we are real we must have one person who we regard as real present us with the same authority. Once we have a mutual contract with our fellow man we can be certain in our love for this reality, even if it is false. Humans are considered social creatures who thrive on the interactions they have, this is because it is proof to us that we exist, if only in our mind and world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This entry was spurred by my viewing of a character which conveyed a sense of pointlessness to actions which one deems as human and ended on the note that we are nothing more than ideas. I sat pondering this idea and came with these findings, I hope you enjoyed this diatribe of self actualization and I will see you in my next post.

Just a comment I posted that I felt needed mentioning
This is a comment which I put on an interesting explanation of MEMEME, it may sound self righteous but that's because that is how I learned to cope with life.
I enjoyed MEMEME and Girl. With MEMEME the obsession side is
accurate, moderation is required in everything, even moderation. To be honest I
don't get out much, but that is because I don't have money for it, though I go
to school and am regarded highly for my charisma. I am an otaku and collector
but the thing I am obsessive about is experience. I want to experience
everything because life feels so short, because of this I am proficient in a
large variety of skill and learned to have charisma in all things I do. I was
shy when I was young, but learned a few years ago that if I simply think about
myself and think of how I would want me to be, I can be successful. For
instance I enjoy acting, I currently have a near perfect score in my theatre
arts class and choir classes, I keep being told to take certain routes. I am
told this in many other subjects, especially regarding computers.
The reason I have gotten this far but still have a otaku and gaming lifestyle is because of narcissism, view yourself as the most amazing person in the world and you will be the most amazing person in the world. Love what you do, laugh at yourself. Life is subjective, if you have a sad outlook on life then you will be sad. Learn to laugh, even if the world thinks your inappropriate for laughing at something, be content with the fact that you are you, not anyone else. Probably the biggest inspiration to me for learning to deal with life was Welcome to the NHK, I find myself teetering between Sato and Yamazaki in how I live my life. Whenever I leave a place where I have been for even a month I get them saying that they miss me and want me back because it just isn't the same without me. I leave a trail of quirkiness, as I am blunt and honest about nearly everything (especially sexuality). Take this as you will but this is how I came out of a pit of years without friends, years of being cast from society for no other reason then that I was vulnerable. Now I am at a point that nothing effects me, I can take all the insults in history and not be phased simply because I have self confidence (also because I was forged in the fires of one of the worst schools socially in the midwest). Done with my diatribe, go back to watching videos.

Ore Twintails Ni Narimasu: Attack of the Fetishistic Dimensional Aliens!
Twintails is a special breed of show, you go into it saying "Yeah this is gonna be shit"; but come out saying "Shit that turned out to be fun enough that I want more". Twintails has a stupid plot but it is driven by the crazy characters.
Earth has been invaded by the Ultimegil a race of fetishistic creatures who all seek attributes to feed their desires but serve greater masters, the greatest of which enjoys Twintails (really long pigtails Miku Hatsune style). A hero rises up to face them with his equal, if not greater, obsession with this hair style:
Sōji Mitsuka
This guy is so obssessed that im pretty sure he is in a padded room imagining all of this. He is a cardboard cutout like every character in this show and honestly is the least funny character in the show as his lines can be summed up with "Twintails are awesome, fuck you aliens, my passion is greater, i have the biggest dick even when I am a girl because hair is amazing"
He spends his fighting time (and a few episodes) as a girl simply called Red (real original guys)
This girl is young looking and draws people who enjoy lolis (this show is full of them). She ends up garnering the attention of just about every person on earth and leaves her allies behind in popularity, proving that the world is a bunch of pedos and that flat is justice.
Speaking of; remember the fetish freaks from earlier? Well they
attempted to answer the question of flat or plot and both died horrible
deaths, but at least the flat lover was a tentacle monster.
Next in our main cast is Aika Tsube, a wonderful tall loli who has many cute moments in the show that mainly have to do with insecurities about her breast size and the many beatings of Twoearle.
This girl becomes Blue when she transforms, her outfit manages to be the most revealing of the trio and she manages to be the strongest physically. She is the ideal tomboy character and appeals to those who want a girl that can kick the ass of all the bullies at school because you don't feel like it (unless you are stronk like me and do 500 pushups a day at a minimum).
Finally we have a loli that actually is contending for a spot in my favorite characters because she peaks a meter deep in my heart. Erina Shindō, the class president with a submissive side and makes Kanbaru look tame.
She looks like serious jail bait and ends up needing to be saved for half the series. However, when she is given a chance, she proves to be a force to be reckoned with and is the only Tail to have a bust. She is Tail Yellow and will strip off her armor in a heartbeat only to become stronger.
Her biggest dream is to be Soji's pet, this is something that propelled this character so high in my esteem for her. This is because even if one can look objectively at something, they will inevitably enjoy something that brings them happiness and this is one of them. She is hilarious to watch and makes the show for me.
The Ultimegil are too numerous to count, but I guarantee that one of them has your fetish, go on, look on the wiki and find one.
The story is like a magical girl show (which I classify this as magical girl in every aspect, even down to the loli fan service) and thus is not too great. The Ultimegil are taken down in troves and the girls occasionally have to get over some self issue in order to take one down. The show just kind of ends with the big boss character being called back on a mission from her boss.
The appeal of the show is the fetishes you have and the comedy, because the characters are one dimensional and only have fetishistic value to drive them.
Ratings:
Story: 5 Really not a story at all
Animation: 7 Good animation all around, no real good moments except the ending theme which has great hair movement at points
Characters: 8 Again one dimensional but will appeal to each on a fetishistic and humorous level
Sound: 8 This show actually has a great sound track, with the opening and ending really standing out
Enjoyment: 8 I enjoyed this show because of the previously stated reasons, with Erina being the shining star for me
------------
Overall: 7.2 Feed those fetishes my friends, and stay strong.

Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail Review: NSA get out of foreign affairs! You won't be slaughtered!
So today I watched Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail, it was good and left me wondering about myself and my own rage. Roberta's Blood Trail is an OVA which takes place directly after the end of Second Barrage.
It tells the tail of the aftermath of a NSA assassination which took out Roberta's master. Now if you have seen the original series you will know that Roberta would have killed everyone in Roanaper if it meant saving her master and his child. With the master dead, she goes after the NSA which have taken up residence in Roanapur for a little while. Garcia and another maid end up coming to warn them, what ensues is Rock becoming Light Yagami/Lelouch. He ends up figuring everything out by the 2nd episode and the rest is just him conducting his orchestra from the shadows.
Roberta is hyped up on meds and goes on a complete rampage. Annihilating all that stand in her way, not having qualms about how to kill them. She even seduces the guy that wants her to come to Cuba and she ends up using that to kill him. It is a brutal blood bath with some surprising tactics that are used in order to cause as little damage as possible. Overall it turned out to be a game of trying to figure out what will happen next and seeing fairly innocent people witness the cold hearted brutality of most of the people of Roanapur.
Really this OVA is more of the blood soaked goodness of the original series, fan service for the Gib freaks that we are. So watch this when you just feel like watching psychopaths go on rampages and try to kill each-other.
Ratings:
Story: (new category) 6 It is mainly meant to be fan service for previous fans and thus doesn't have the best story around
Animation: 8 It looked great, but what do you expect from madhouse, hardcore gun action
Characters: 7 No real qualms, they aren't deep characters, they are characters who shoot people; end of story
Sound: 7 It works all throughout, the opening track is not so good in this one as the original Mell opening was great and memorable and this just remixes it
Enjoyment: 7 Honestly I didn't enjoy this as much as the original show, it was good, but felt like some of the humor was lost in this OVA
--------------
Overall: 7 If you enjoy Black Lagoon watch this, if not skip it cuz this is just a minor extension of the show

Problems of Reviewing shows
Reviewing comes with a myriad of problems; mainly you really have to be in the mood to review, also with shows you will often get side tracked to other shows unless you have a group of people to enjoy your reviews. You need reviews for people to enjoy, so it becomes a process of hopelessness and eventual results. I have watched a few shows recently but have mainly been watching Hunter X Hunter, which I think will be my true next review. I may however toss in Ore Twintails ni Narimasu today in order to appease my mind of being guilty over my laziness, though it took me around a month and a half to complete twintails because I kept being sidetracked by other shows which had more enduring plots. Though twintails has a good amount of plot (if you catch my drift). Fuck it today is a review day now. But first I will get back to the subject at hand.
Reviewing is a beast which requires special attention because often times you will catch yourself just enjoying yourself watching shows and wont think to actually ponder the show in an analytical format. This has happened to me a bunch and it leads to me not even remembering what I was going to say about some shows and having to rewatch them, which I only rewatch a show after at least a year has passed because seeing the same thing multiple times tends to sully its view for me. Thus I will begin going through my backlog and attempt to get through my backlog on at least a biweekly format. Around Christmas I am planning on purchasing a microphone which will allow for some high quality voice work, which will hopefully allow me to pump out reviews at a quality which suits my own expectations for myself. On to go finish the black lagoon review that has been sitting since may. (Laptops make reviews so much easier, I would even take a crap laptop just for that purpose"

Update
I really need to start sticking with what I say. I have been swamped with school work so I haven't really been able to sit and type up a review. If I am on the computer I end up playing a game with a friend because it is something to do other than school.
I have finished a few more series including
Evangelion
Hellsing Ultimate
and Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu
I have also finished the Dance in the vampire bund Manga and am waiting for Volume Three of Scarlet Order. Here is a picture of the shelf that has Vampire Bund:
I cam currently Reading Trigun, I have the first series omnibus and the first omnibus of Trigun Maximum. Here is a picture of the purchase where I got that
And finally stuff that came with that. (I have another package on the way, I use manga to pad my amazon purchases for free shipping)
And for the hell of it to prove that I am an otaku but not a super otaku
