Saw episodes 2 and 3 of Pretty Cure Max Heart. Second episode focuses a bit on Hikari, while episode 3 has Hikari and Porun meeting halfway through the episode.

...

If I could be motivated to show some more screenshots, I wouldn't have to give such bare bones summaries.

Anyway...


Another error. :-P


Really funny scene... though it's better to see it in action.

I may see episode 4 and 5 later this week, then I'll move on to another anime (most likely either Futago Hime or Lucky Star).

Going right along, I've played a bit of Sonic Heroes for the first time since who-knows-when. Played a bit through Team Sonic's and Team Rose's quest.

...

Aw, who cares? I'll run some Sonic Heroes stuff by you guys.

I got this game on my 18th birthday along with Sonic Battle. I really thought that it was an interesting game, and I played it and enjoyed it (some of the special stages drove me nuts, and I was REALLY lucky to get through the last special stage on my first run without much problem). Other than playing and beating this game hundred of times, there's not much to say even though I've beaten the Last Story on a day when I missed school. Oh, and one other thing: while the game was new, Hamtareon suggested to me that I should beat the game with Team Rose first, then Team Sonic, Team Chaotix, and finally Team Dark. I did the exact reverse of that the first time around... and I will admit it wasn't easy. Curse my love for Shadow at the time... and it wasn't as low-key as my liking for Draco, Justice, and Feli.

Playing Sonic Heroes also made me think about Team Muyo's powers, but that's another story.

Moving away from Sonic Heroes, I'm sure you remember hearing news about what the videos about. To be honest, I'm kinda hesitant about calling Nintendo since I don't care about Brawl at all any more (though I may do it for the sake of the Sonic fans). I am, however, plan to e-mail Sega of Japan about it 'cause I'm sick of not buying Sonic games due the 4Kids ruining the fun of them (though Sonic Rush Adventure has a way of by passing that: simply play as Blaze. Secret Rings allowing you to switch to the Japanese voices is a good thing too).

On the subject of Team Muyo, I will admit that I have a few worries that are, for once, not any pseudo-religious moments that are vital to the plot (I'm going much letting those worries go). This is actually concerning the appearance of a couple of *ahem* Puyo Puyo Fever characters appearing in Team Muyo... specifically, Feli, Baldanders, and Yu & Rei. Yu & Rei pretty much don't much impact on the plot and pretty much make a one time appearance (specifically episode 39: "Sonic vs Knuckles? No Need for Gambling!"). Feli and Baldanders, however, are another story. They both appear rather early in the series (ep 14: "Next Destination! No Need for Juneside!" [though their acutal debut is in the second "Extra! Team Muyo" episode]), and they have a rather depressing story behind them. They both died (Feli gave up any will to live after she hears something bad to Lemres [don't know exactly what, but it'll come to me]; Baldanders, as a regular dog, ended up getting killed in a demon attack) and they both wound up in the Land of Iniquity. The difference is that while Feli was saved by Death, Baldanders suffered a fate similar to Empress before he finally got away from the demons who were trying to corrupt him and eventually ended up in Limbo (for now, all I'm going to say that it's in the form of a murky swamp). He got heavily injured by the demons sent after him and, after crashing into an underground area, meets Feli. After a breakout, a bit of a chase, and a few time warps here and there, Feli comes back to Neo South Island, helps Baldanders, and told him everything that happened to her... leading to Team Muyo arriving on Neo South Island (where they end up getting attacked by Baldanders).

Whew. That was a lot.

Anyway, the reason I'm worried about said Fever characters in Team Muyo is because, well... mostly because of three Fever haters I'm rather familiar with. ^.^;

Yeah, I know I'm worrying about something minor again, but... a part of me can't help it (though I should stop that).

I mean, I love the Compile cast to death, but... after playing 15th Anniversary and reading about it (with some translations), I started to like the Fever cast and... well, as you can tell, one of them I'm starting to get attached to. *blushes*

I think UtP said it best:
[04:44PM] UnderThePale: It's okay, I actually have a pretty good idea of why you like the charachters you do.
[04:44PM] Mirror Skitty: Meow?
[04:45PM] UnderThePale: Most of the time, it's because you idolize them in some way. Else, you find some aspect of them attractive, usually their cutness or beauty
[04:45PM] UnderThePale: Feli's something of an odd duck, but... I can see you liking goth.
[04:48PM] Mirror Skitty: Odd duck?
[04:49PM] UnderThePale: She's dissimilar from the other girls you like. Signifigantly darker and... Well, I don't want to say "evil" but... She's goth. That's a first for you
[04:50PM] Mirror Skitty: Meow... meow meow.
[04:50PM] UnderThePale: It's cool, though. Feli's all right in my book
[04:51PM] UnderThePale: I just wish I knew why she has canes.
[04:58PM] Mirror Skitty: Me too. ^.^

And also...
[04:16PM] Mirror Skitty: http://lil-ida.livejournal.com/269759.html
[04:17PM] UnderThePale: So what IS the reason, if I dare ask?
[04:17PM] Mirror Skitty: Which one?
[04:17PM] UnderThePale: We'll go with the last, the one you're embarassed by
[04:21PM] Mirror Skitty: [02:42PM] Mirror Skitty: Back to the Baldanders story then...

At the time Feli was in Limbo, she met him there (and, looking at his condition, that he was dead).
[02:43PM] UnderThePale: Dead, huh? Poor guy.
[02:44PM] Mirror Skitty: Not completely. Almost, though, but not quite (he was pretty much whimpering quite a bit).
[02:44PM] UnderThePale: Aww mannn. Poor guy. What did that to him?
[02:46PM] Mirror Skitty: Well, you see... he suffered a similar fate as Feli.

The only difference is that he's now half-demon because he got away and suddenly ended up where Feli is.
[02:47PM] UnderThePale: What was he before? A dog?
[02:47PM] Mirror Skitty: A plain dog... and now he's the armored dog that you see in Puyo Puyo Fever 2 and the 15th Anniversary edition.
[02:48PM] UnderThePale: A demon dog! Awesome!
[02:49PM] UnderThePale: I mean, that's what he is, but... I love how you add things to the story like that
[02:50PM] Mirror Skitty: Really?
[02:50PM] UnderThePale: I wouldn't have told you that anyone could do anything interesting with Baldanders.

Well, basically, that... and Feli's death... and, after reading that Feli's into fortune telling and the occult, some encounters involving her, High Priestess, Hanged Man, and Moon.
[04:22PM] UnderThePale: So, in other words, Feli's kind of your idol these days
[04:25PM] Mirror Skitty: *blushes*
W... what made you say that?
[04:26PM] UnderThePale: She's into fortune telling, the occult, something about Baldanders
[04:26PM] UnderThePale: ANd so on...
[04:27PM] Mirror Skitty: *blushes some more*
[04:28PM] UnderThePale: You like her because she's like you.
[04:30PM] Mirror Skitty: *blushes*
Meow... meow meow.
[04:30PM] UnderThePale: Why do you feel so bad about it?
[04:31PM] Mirror Skitty: It's worse than Justice.
[04:31PM] UnderThePale: Worse?
[04:32PM] Mirror Skitty: Well, with Justice, it's because she's a girl.

With Feli, it's more than that.
[04:32PM] UnderThePale: What are you talking about?
[04:33PM] Mirror Skitty: Sometimes I feel that I shouldn't like Feli as much as I do now.
[04:33PM] UnderThePale: Why shouldn't you? She's cool
[04:34PM] Mirror Skitty: Well, she's also a Fever character, and... well, some people are... less than approving of it.

I know you and others assured me, but that part still nags at me.
[04:35PM] UnderThePale: You must find the courage to love, regardless of what others say
[04:35PM] UnderThePale: Look to Gel: His game reccmendations are so universally reviled that it's kind of a running joke ("Oh my god! Gel was right about something!")
Do you think he gives up? No, he reccmends WIERDER and MORE shunned games
[04:36PM] UnderThePale: Because that's who he is
[04:36PM] Mirror Skitty: Meow.

Yet, he's one of the Fever haters. ^.^;
[04:37PM] UnderThePale: If you'll recall, he played the game for five minutes before he said "Shit sux, mang" and got on the "Compile 4 Ever" bandwagon
[04:38PM] Mirror Skitty: Yeah...

*sighs* Emotions can be so confusing... but I think I'm understanding them a bit better. Well, at least mine.

Note to self: work on the Strength/Sun issue sometime today.

Na no nya. Meow!
