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

Update and Upcoming Events
I have been silent for the past 2 months, I realize that this is quite unprofessional and I appologize for my absence to all who awaited more content. This summer has been "busy" for me, which I will detail below. I have watched quite a few anime and rewatched others which warrants a review as they are fairly fresh in my mind. The most recent series which I have watched is Akame ga Kill! which absolutely exceeded my expectations so this is what I will be covering as my next review, from there I will reroute back to a review which I started writing but never finished: Black Lagoon Roberta's Bloodtrail.
What have I been doing with my time? Well that is a question which is a little difficult to answer as I can't even remember some stuff as this whole summer has melded together with sleep schedules being thrown out the window and excessive amounts of time spent doing random things. I began the summer by playing some xbox games but I quickly tired of this and moved to the computer. I then began playing through tons of steam games and keeping up with other games, what really became a defining factor was my choice to buy Counterstrike Global Offensive as it allowed me to meet possibly the greatest friend I have ever met online. We have essentially been no lifing different games since we found eachother in a Counterstrike casual match which I was playing because I was on competitive cooldown. Over time our friendship flourished and we are where we are now.
After we played a lot of counterstrike I moved to no lifing World of Warcraft which lasted on month and had me hitting level cap and being close to it on a few others. After about 40 days of constant World of Warcraft play I moved to EVE online which happened a few days ago or more accurately 5 or 6 days ago, its really hard to tell as I keep staying up close to 30 hours at a time playing while doing other things as I am part of a mining corporation and have been appointed as the broker because I accel at investing our money and making a hefty profit.
I have in this time watched quite a few anime and bolstered my collection a fair amount, including many anime and finishing collecting every single book that has ever been released in the Dance in the Vampire Bund series. Though I haven't even started reading the 5th omnibus yet, too busy doing other things and want something to do in study hall at school. The reason for this is that unfortunately my phone broke and I lost every single contact to friends I had made in the last year at a completely different school which I won't be attending this year. It took about 5 hours to get over it so I am not infallible, though it took me that long because I was scared shitless about what my mother would do when she found out (She can be quite scary when it comes to money). So now that updates are out of the way it is time to list the reviews I will be releasing in order of release. (Dates are unknown as it really comes down to inspiration and not wanting to overload the passing traveler that stumble by this blog on the internet highway)
Akame ga Kill
Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail OVA
Joshiraku
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods
Strike Witches 2
Spice and Wolf (I rewatched it because I bought the complete series boxset)
That is series which I can guarantee will be done in that order as I have finished them. Here is a list of series I am watching and don't know when I will be done, some I have been trying to watch for years.
Ranma 1/2: I watched most of the series when I was in middle school and am revisiting it to truly appreciate it
One Piece: This will probably end when I turn 40 but I started watching it and have been enjoying it
Naruto: I have watched the whole first part of the series 3 times in my life but would like to watch from start to finish now that the series actually has an end. It will just be milked but hey it won't be called naruto or they are lying. Currently I am most of the way through the first part of the series before Shipuden so I will review it when I am done
Gintama: this is a series which I watched the 2 episode special because I heard it was funny and went "this is that Aqua Teen Hunger Force type of humor but just plain hard to understand at points" so I may or may not finish this series, haven't watched more than the special yet so we will see
Lucky Star: I have heard so much about this series and enjoy the opening so I decided to start lucky star and have enjoyed it but pretty much ration it out because it is a type of show that should be enjoyed over time
Blazblue Alter Memory: I decided to watch this after seeing some stuff about it and liking the opening so I am a few episodes in, little depressed that it only got dubbed for 2 episodes because the voices were good for those episodes, high quality compared to most quick cash-ins which I have seen lately.
Trigun: This is a series which has been dear to my heart my whole time in the anime fandom and I am re-watching it on the box-set I bought so I can give it a proper review, I also bought some of the omnibuses for the series.
Asa Made Jugyou Chu! : I heard this was a bad cross dressing anime but it is short and I thought "might as well knock this one off my list sooner than later"
Bakuretsu Tenshi: I highly enjoy the character designs in this show and the music/atmosphere of the show but the character interaction feels barren, very bleak, which is why I am only 6 episodes in so far
Black Rock Shooter: (I can't make a star Icon so don't judge the name not being accurate) I have been trying to watch this show for something like 2 years now and haven't made a ton of progress, usually I end up starting over. I enjoy the shows cgi parts but the show feels just unpleasant at points which makes it hard to watch.
Free!: I have heard a lot of praise from some people as they laughed a lot watching this show. I have seen some hilarious vines involving this show and it seems to have some really nice character interactions.
Girls Und Panzer: The concept of tank warfare on aircraft carriers that hold nations just sounds insane so I feel like I need to check this out. also Girls Und Panzer Tokyo Drift needs to be a thing with that one scene
Monogatari Second Season, Hannamonogatari, Tsukimonogatari, Nekomonogatari: I lump all these into one because they are ostensibly the same series, they have the same characters etc. I enjoyed the first to seasons to I have high expectations for the rest of it.
Hataraku Maou-sama! (Devil is a Part-Timer): I had no desire to watch this show until I saw it with an anime club I hung out with. The show is quite humorous and even made my mom laugh quite a lot when she watched it.
K-On!: I have heard relentless praise of the show where nothing happens: Seinfeld, oh wait that's the show about nothing. K-On! has received relentless praise and has inspired the whole moe slice of life genre along with lucky star. I also watch Joshiraku which constantly compares itself to K-On! and makes jokes about it.
Katanagatari: 12 hours of my life I will spend watching this dialogue heavy show written by the same writer as the monogatari franchise, why don't I just buy the damned book?
Kiss x Sis: This show...oh this show... the dad needs a medal and it surprisingly doesn't appeal to me that much. It is funny, but the fanservice is over the top and fetishy, if I want an imouto show I will watch Oreimo as it is much better. However I feel like I have to finish this because I knew a girl freshman year of highschool that had this is her absolute favorite series.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead: I highly enjoyed the first season of Is This a Zombie? and have been saving the second season as a palette cleanser.
Log Horizon: I began this show while it was airing but it simply slipped by as I watched other shows.
Seikoku no Dragonar: I bought the first volume of this manga and cringed at how bad it was, at least there were occasional tits but even then it was tasteless fanservice. I found out at the back that there was an anime and had to see just how bad it was considering it took the only redeeming factor of the manga and got rid of it making it complete garbage
Seitokai Yakuindomo: I stumbled on a collection of funny scenes from this anime and laughed my ass off, so I have this in here because I will watch it when I blow through everything else on this list
Shakugan no Shana: Oh Tabitha Saint Germain please do more anime dubs, I have been most of the way through this series for a while and enjoyed it a lot. It has many flaws but overall is a good watch.
Space Dandy: (again can't do stars) I have heard praise for this show all around and loved the episode I watched when it premiered, I just don't watch toonami but a few times a year.
Sword Art Online II: this... this show is so bad that I have a whole series where Digibro tried to pick out parts he found to be the worst. I am only a few episodes in and it is just so much talking with nothing going on. Stale air and anvil sized drops of exposition on top of blue haired gamer bait camel toe and a useless villian with more plot holes than tits made of swiss.
Tsukuyomi Moon Phase: This is a series which is fun to watch and was recommended to me for a month before I started watching it.
There you have it, a list of anime which you can expect to see in the future, as a side note always assume there will be surprises. See you in the next post!

Gintama: this is a series which I watched the 2 episode special because I heard it was funny and went "this is that Aqua Teen Hunger Force type of humor but just plain hard to understand at points" so I may or may not finish this series, haven't watched more than the special yet so we will see
Lucky Star: I have heard so much about this series and enjoy the opening so I decided to start lucky star and have enjoyed it but pretty much ration it out because it is a type of show that should be enjoyed over time
Blazblue Alter Memory: I decided to watch this after seeing some stuff about it and liking the opening so I am a few episodes in, little depressed that it only got dubbed for 2 episodes because the voices were good for those episodes, high quality compared to most quick cash-ins which I have seen lately.
Trigun: This is a series which has been dear to my heart my whole time in the anime fandom and I am re-watching it on the box-set I bought so I can give it a proper review, I also bought some of the omnibuses for the series.
Asa Made Jugyou Chu! : I heard this was a bad cross dressing anime but it is short and I thought "might as well knock this one off my list sooner than later"
Bakuretsu Tenshi: I highly enjoy the character designs in this show and the music/atmosphere of the show but the character interaction feels barren, very bleak, which is why I am only 6 episodes in so far
Black Rock Shooter: (I can't make a star Icon so don't judge the name not being accurate) I have been trying to watch this show for something like 2 years now and haven't made a ton of progress, usually I end up starting over. I enjoy the shows cgi parts but the show feels just unpleasant at points which makes it hard to watch.
Free!: I have heard a lot of praise from some people as they laughed a lot watching this show. I have seen some hilarious vines involving this show and it seems to have some really nice character interactions.
Girls Und Panzer: The concept of tank warfare on aircraft carriers that hold nations just sounds insane so I feel like I need to check this out. also Girls Und Panzer Tokyo Drift needs to be a thing with that one scene
Monogatari Second Season, Hannamonogatari, Tsukimonogatari, Nekomonogatari: I lump all these into one because they are ostensibly the same series, they have the same characters etc. I enjoyed the first to seasons to I have high expectations for the rest of it.
Hataraku Maou-sama! (Devil is a Part-Timer): I had no desire to watch this show until I saw it with an anime club I hung out with. The show is quite humorous and even made my mom laugh quite a lot when she watched it.
K-On!: I have heard relentless praise of the show where nothing happens: Seinfeld, oh wait that's the show about nothing. K-On! has received relentless praise and has inspired the whole moe slice of life genre along with lucky star. I also watch Joshiraku which constantly compares itself to K-On! and makes jokes about it.
Katanagatari: 12 hours of my life I will spend watching this dialogue heavy show written by the same writer as the monogatari franchise, why don't I just buy the damned book?
Kiss x Sis: This show...oh this show... the dad needs a medal and it surprisingly doesn't appeal to me that much. It is funny, but the fanservice is over the top and fetishy, if I want an imouto show I will watch Oreimo as it is much better. However I feel like I have to finish this because I knew a girl freshman year of highschool that had this is her absolute favorite series.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead: I highly enjoyed the first season of Is This a Zombie? and have been saving the second season as a palette cleanser.
Log Horizon: I began this show while it was airing but it simply slipped by as I watched other shows.
Seikoku no Dragonar: I bought the first volume of this manga and cringed at how bad it was, at least there were occasional tits but even then it was tasteless fanservice. I found out at the back that there was an anime and had to see just how bad it was considering it took the only redeeming factor of the manga and got rid of it making it complete garbage
Seitokai Yakuindomo: I stumbled on a collection of funny scenes from this anime and laughed my ass off, so I have this in here because I will watch it when I blow through everything else on this list
Shakugan no Shana: Oh Tabitha Saint Germain please do more anime dubs, I have been most of the way through this series for a while and enjoyed it a lot. It has many flaws but overall is a good watch.
Space Dandy: (again can't do stars) I have heard praise for this show all around and loved the episode I watched when it premiered, I just don't watch toonami but a few times a year.
Sword Art Online II: this... this show is so bad that I have a whole series where Digibro tried to pick out parts he found to be the worst. I am only a few episodes in and it is just so much talking with nothing going on. Stale air and anvil sized drops of exposition on top of blue haired gamer bait camel toe and a useless villian with more plot holes than tits made of swiss.
Tsukuyomi Moon Phase: This is a series which is fun to watch and was recommended to me for a month before I started watching it.
There you have it, a list of anime which you can expect to see in the future, as a side note always assume there will be surprises. See you in the next post!
