Animatic

My own hard work pays off yet again, this time with an animatic, my first one! It features my trademark original character, Bow the Cat, interacting with a door, as the school assignment stated that a student's original character must interact with a door during this animation sequence. The music used in this video is not mine, so I'm bringing along a disclaimer with this post. All credit and copyrights regarding the music goes to respective owners, creators, and composers. Let's see if you users can guess the two music tracks I picked out for this video.

One-Sided Love, One-Sided Episode

Just as I expected, nothing special between Phineas and Isabella at all, even in the second Christmas episode. What did you fans expect anyway? Like I said, the movie had its chance and blew it completely, so there's no hope at all. Maybe Isabella should give up, like she could have in "Summer Belongs To You". There's no way. But that's not the point of this post, so let me get on topic before I lose track of things. The real deal is that the episode is somehow already up on iTunes as a single episode instead of a paired episode! Now that is something unique and has never been done before on the Phineas and Ferb selection on iTunes. But again, I'm still wondering here... what's going on?

We Three Kings of Yu-Gi-Oh! Are

In light of the holiday season for 2011, I have decided to introduce from my creations on Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Maker (although YuGiCo is good for making Xyz cards, Card Maker is still good for a few things such as custom sub-types), three new equivalents of the Egyptian Gods, the Sacred Beasts, and the Aesir - behold, the three Magi (Wise Gods)! I should not think this is inappropriate nor sacrilegious for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I didn't come up with these images, some user from deviantART known as ryben-d36hnch did. So the images belong to that user, not me. Secondly, if the game starts naming cards for sources outside of Japan, such as Norse mythology, then anyone could have come up with this. Also, you might notice that the cards I made up are in fact the Epoch monsters I mentioned back at the beginning of the year. As I said before, Epoch Monsters are formed by sending Epoch Material Monsters from either the field or hand to the Graveyard, so they are easier to summon than Synchro and Xyz monsters. However, to maintain tradition of sacrificing three monsters from the field to summon a God card, the three Magi can only be Epoch Summoned using monsters on the field, not the hand. And these are just cards as they would appear in an anime series, seeing as the Aesir did not keep their Divine-Beast-Type nor their Divine attribute when they became trading cards. The same will go for the Magi, but I'll get to that some other time.

A Third Phineas and Ferb Christmas

Well, fans, this is it. Today's the day that the second Phineas and Ferb Christmas special airs on television. It may be only 15 minutes in length as opposed to the original 45-minute special, but we're still looking at some good stuff as usual. And remember, please don't expect anything regarding Isabella and Phineas, even during her song. I certainly won't. Speaking of, what's with those dance scenes from "Ferb Latin"? Why are users on about that pairing just because they were seen dancing during that episode and the "Ferb Latin" song? Not only does it really not compare to them dancing in "Summer Belongs To You", but it's nothing new, so it's nothing special really. Anyways, enjoy the upcoming special!

iTunes gets a head start with Phineas and Ferb

On iTunes, apparently a Volume 7 has started with the paired episodes "Lotsa Latkes" and "Ferb Latin", and yet their Volume 6 is still incomplete with only twelve episodes. It makes me wonder what the last episode or paired episodes are gonna get selected - possibly "Doof Dynasty" and "The Tri-Stone Area", paired episodes that take place in alternate worlds. Not to mention "Bullseye" and "Escape from Phineas Tower" have aired, yet the episodes they are paired with, "Perry the Actorpus" and "Remains of the Platypus" have still not aired, with no signs of air dates whatsoever. In cases like these, now we have to wonder... what's going on?

Exceed the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Maker by making Xyz!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Maker, get ready to step aside! There's a new online card creator in town, and it can make new Xyz monsters! It's the Card Creator section of YuGiCo and like Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Maker, it requires users to make an account in order to save their work online, but if you're just visiting and want to make cards the easy way, just save the image when you preview your custom creation and it'll work out just as fine. It is recommended that your card image is no bigger than 288 x 288 pixels (an image can easily be fixed in an image-editing program), create your card as whatever tickles your fancy, preview, save the image to your hard drive and you're good! Finally, Xyz monsters can be created in a fancy new way! Sure, the card images you create are bigger in size and a few things still can't quite be modified, but at least the quirks aren't worth quibbling over. This card image is my example (I know it's the popular Miku Hatsune, but meh). What will yours be?

The Gentleman Treatment

Recently, a shortened recording of the Phineas and Ferb episode "Doof Dynasty" has surfaced on the Internet and even though it is not in English language just yet, it seems that fans were anxious to see it - and most likely for the anticipated P.I. business, which should be left to private investigators, by the way. The thing is, as fun as it is to get hopes up for Phineas and Isabella pairing up, time and time again I must stress that they put too much of their hopes on the line, so that when the great disappointment comes to pass, they will all be crushed and bummed out severely. Although, viewers who saw the episode, or the biggest chunks of it, have already expressed their delight over all the Phineas and Isabella stuff that apparently happens in the episode, which in my opinion I see as nothing special. This is, after all, another world, where anything is possible and does not stay true to the Phineas and Ferb storyline. So, canonically, the events of "Doof Dynasty" would be considered null and void, lest anyone can prove anything otherwise. Good day.
