Anime Lock Screens

Some fun lock screens for your phones

Enjoy :)

^._.^

Whenever I go to write a blog post I sit and think what should I write? I never seem to have an idea in my mind so I usually end up typing whatever comes to mind. I wonder is the right way to do this? Or should I only blog when I have a purpose? Maybe or maybe not, either way it's not like I interact with people much on here so I guess I'm free to type anything.

I used to think that a blog would be a good way to keep people updated on the fun and exciting things I do, except I don't. Don't that is do anything fun or exciting. Causing this to turn into a diary of sorts. It makes me look back and think why did I delete all my previous posts, they weren't intended for others but main;y as a way for me to vent my thoughts. I wish I still had those posts so that I could see how far I've come and to see if I've grown as a person.

So in some ways I'm glad not many people read my blog, this way people only see what I want them to see and not know how depressed I really feel. Whether its a good thing or not, I'd like people to see me as a happy person and not know the real me.

Weekly Recommendations - Week Two

I appologise for this being slightly late, but here it is

WEEK 2

Anime - Escaflowne - Completed

Plot - Taken from Wikipedia - The series focuses on the heroine, Hitomi Kanzaki, and her adventures after she is transported to the world of Gaea, a mysterious planet where she can see Earth and its moon in the sky. On Gaea, Earth is known as the Mystic Moon. Hitomi's latent psychic powers are enhanced on Gaea and she quickly becomes embroiled in the conflicts between the Zaibach Empire and the several peaceful countries that surround it. The conflicts are brought about by the Zaibach Empire's quest to revive the legendary power from the ancient city of Atlantis. As the series progresses, many of the characters' pasts and motivations, as well as the history of Atlantis and the true nature of the planet Gaea, are revealed.

Manga - Horimiya - Ongoing

Plot - Taken from Mangafox - Hori may seem like a normal teenage girl, but she's a completely different person after school. In her workaholic parents' absence, Hori has been like a parent for her little brother since she was young herself. Between taking care of her brother, feeding them both, and housework, she doesn't have much time for a usual teenage social life. One day, she meets someone else who does not present his true self at school: a quiet, glasses-wearing boy called Miyamura. She'd assumed he was bookish, and possibly an otaku, but Hori couldn't have been more wrong. Outside of school, Miyamura is a friendly guy with many piercings, and he's not very good at academics. Now the two of them have someone with whom they can share both halves of their lives!

Game - Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon

Plot/Setting - Taken from Wikipedia - Fragile Dreams is set in a post-apocalyptic version of Earth in the near-future. Almost all the world's population has vanished, leaving the surviving buildings at structures abandoned. The game is set in and near the ruins of Tokyo, Japan, where the event that nearly wiped out humanity may have originated.

The protagonist, Seto, is a 15-year-old boy who searches the world for other living humans. He encounters Ren, a silver-haired girl who often leaves behind large, cryptic drawings. Other characters include: Sai, the ghost of a young woman; Crow, an mischievous and straightforward amnesiac boy; Personal Frame (P.F.), a portable computer who loves having conversations more than anything else; Chiyo, the ghost of a little girl; and the Merchant, a mysterious yet merry man who trades various goods. The game's host of enemies mainly consist of ghosts, but also include humanoid robots and security proxies. The main antagonist, Shin, is the AI of a scientist who considers speech to be an inferior means of communication. Various memory items include a greater set of characters, each giving hints to the game's back-story.


Song - Alice Nine - Rainbows 

Visual Kei - Band - Alice Nine - Shou (Vocals), Tora ( L - Guitar), Hiroto ( R- Guitar), Saga ( Bass ) and Nao ( Drums ). All so very sexy in their own ways :3

Movie - The Life of David Gale

Plot - Taken from Wikipedia - David Gale is a prisoner on death row in Texas. With only a few days to his execution, his lawyer negotiates a half million-dollar fee to tell his story to Bitsey Bloom, a journalist from a major news magazine known for her ability to keep secrets and protect her sources. He tells her the story of how he ended up on death row, revealed to the movie audience through a series of lengthy flashbacks.

David Gale is accused of murder and is facing the death sentence, but did he really commit murder or is he innocent. 

Book - The five people you meet in Heaven - Mitch Albom

Plot - Taken from goodreads - Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination, but an answer.

TV Show - American Horror Story - Season 3 - Coven

Plot - Taken from Wikipedia - It's been around 300 years since the Salem witch trials. Those witches who remain are almost extinct and in danger once again. A school has opened in New Orleans to teach young witches how to protect themselves. The long-absent Supreme, Fiona (Jessica Lange), arrives to ensure the safety of the coven and their secrets. Fiona's daughter, Cordelia (Sarah Paulson), teaches at the school. Events reveal a long-held rivalry between the witches of Salem and the Voodoo practitioners of New Orleans, as well as a historic grudge between Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) and socialite serial killer Delphine LaLaurie (Kathy Bates). The primary theme of the season is oppression; specifically, the oppression of marginalized groups. Other themes include witchcraft, Voodoo, racism, and family, such as the relationships between mothers and daughters. The season is set primarily in modern day and includes flashbacks to the 1830s.

I hope you enjoy my recommendations, and if you try any of them please feel free to comment below about what you thought of them.
