Hayate No Gotoku!

Hey! It’s been a whole while since my last post and today I’d like to blog about a very funny anime I’m watching at the time. It’s called Hayate No Gotoku! (eng. Hayate the Combat Butler). I added some information taken from myanimelist.net :)

Hayate No Gotoku!

Hayate No Gotoku!

16-year-old Hayate is really down on his luck. Because his unemployed parents are good-for-nothings who waste what money they have on gambling, Hayate had to start working at a young age to help out his family. Although such experience has made him inhumanly fast and tough and skilled at things boys aren’t normally skilled at, it has also left him in an awkward position, as his parents have racked up such a huge gambling debt that they have sold Hayate to the yakuza for the value of his organs. In a desperate attempt to avoid that fate, Hayate decides to become a “bad guy” and kidnap someone to be held for ransom, but his efforts to do so are mistaken as a confession of love by the girl he targets. When he helps save the (as it turns out) ultra-wealthy 13-year-old Nagi from real kidnappers, she takes him in and gives him a job as her new personal butler (and love interest) until he can pay off his debt. But Hayate is more attracted to Nagi’s beautiful teenage maid Maria, and head butler Klaus is initially disapproving of a boy with such a poor look. And then there`s Nagi’s pet Tama, who is also a force to be reckoned with.

If you’re in anime as I am, it’s a must-watch!

BTW: The second season is currently airing in Japan, I’m looking forward to it!

Winnenden School Massacre

What is the matter with people? First that horrific shooting in Alabama, and now this: a 17-year-old German man visited his former high school today and took it upon himself to shoot — and kill — at least 16 people.

According to police, the teenager escaped the school but was reportedly shot by police in a shopping mall in nearby Winnenden. Regional police described the scene to the Associated Press as a “bloodbath”. The alleged gunman graduated from the Albertville high school last year, police said.

Furthermore, I have to add, Winnenden is located about 25km east of where I live. It’s shocking for everyone, I think.

Byousoku 5 Centimeter Anime Wallpaper

Sorry for being away for way too long

5 Centimeters Per Second Wallpaper

5 Centimeters Per Second Wallpaper

I was busy, so I wasn’t able to fully take care of my blog, however I made another Wallpaper (1874×1050, sorry for the crappy resolution XD, I’ll fix that soon) from a screenshot of the wonderful anime 5 Centimeters Per Second. You can also download it from my devArt-Account!

I also readopted the work on my Yuuko Vector, which can be seen below.

Hope you like it,

Vector WIP

Today, I’d  like to present a work in process or shortened to WIP by myself. It’s going to be a vectorized anime OST cover, to be precisely it’s the cover-art of the highly anticipated anime ef - a tale of melodies. I’d highly recommend to watch the anime, yet you need watch the prequel ef - a tale of memories. You should find the links to DDL the files on your own! ;)

You’ll gain a preview to the work below.
Once it’s finished, I’ll present it on my DevArt account for sure, as well as here on my blog.

Stay tuned for the final result.

MaxBlogPress Favicon Plugin Review

Today I’d like to write about the first plugin I installed on my WordPress:

Favicon by MaxBlogPress. Firstly, favicons are the little symbols displayed on the lefthand side of the internet address line in your browser. In my case it’s that kind of symbol:

Favicon in my browser (FireFox 3.0.4)

Favicon in my browser (FireFox 3.0.4)

Since I’m forced to write this review, I want to gladly express my gratitude to MaxBlogPress in this review! Their plugin is pretty helpful, ’cause I’m too lazy to change the icon by hand, which would have also been possible. The only thing you have to do is to install the plugin on your server and to register with MBP for free. And there you go! You just have to upload a 16×16 .ico-file from your computer and it will automatically apply to your WordPress.

To all you bloggers out there, if you’re also too lazy or too easy to change your favicon by hand, just download MaxBlogPress’ Favicon plugin on their page!

Hi Folks!

Hello everyone out there! While relaxing at home, I just realized that I could also start a blog via WordPress, since I really appreciate the simple but elegant and very easy to use CMS WordPress. I had some previous web-appearances such as www.perplex-design.net. Obviously, I’ll stop working on perplex-design, since I prefer to use WordPress.

To begin with, I like webdesign and arts in general, so I can ensure I’ll publish some of my artwork or especially webdesigns and layouts here. I’m also in anime, so I’ll write some reviews and stuff. Feel free aks me for you to register, to write your own reviews and interact with me!

I’d also like to say that I won’t publish any Download-Links for anime- or musicfiles. There are enough blogs out there to get these links from, but I won’t provide you with these links, search ‘em on your own!

That’s it for now, have a good evening and stay tuned for more!
