Side Quest 003: {Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo is an Anime Movie. It is a Adventure Drama.

The movie is about a young girl meeting a mysterious boy who saves her from a dangerous situation. That's all I can really say about the story without spoiling oh and she has a cute little pet!

The theme of the anime is Life and Death. The Anime is portraying a journey to find oneself and teaching the characters and the audience of the concept of Life and Death.

I quite enjoyed it, a big change from typical Anime tropes. I mostly liked how they portrayed the importance of everything rather than ignore minor characters.

What I learnt from this film is that when making stories, every character should have their own, no matter how minor of a character they are, although that's what this anime made me think, I don't think its shown as much in the film but all of the important character's development were explained well during the movie.

I guess I'd give this 8/10
I recommend to those who want a change of pace in Anime. Note that I haven't seen all of Studio Ghibili's films and I've seen 1 or 2 of em back in high school for a class and they felt similar.

Daily Quest: {1 month disappearance} Daily Happenings

Firstly I apologize for my absence for those of you who even follow my posts (Don't think there's many of you yet. xD)

My friends thought it was a good idea to get me back into Warframe, and that's where most of my time went, along with Anime and the usual stuffs. I was planning on studying on developing games these holidays too. I was really about to start 2 weeks before classes start, then BOOM - PAYDAY 2 BETA OUT NOW! Dropped everything I was doing and downloaded that shiz.

Well good news is that I got a new laptop! And it can run stuff on High! =D
Which means that I will probably get less or hopefully no lag when playing Oculus Rift games, which I am planning on doing in between doing classwork.

This semester I'll be learning how to use UDK and a bunch of other web stuff and 3D stuff. So I might actually update this with actual progress! Might start recording Payday 2 Gameplay too - if I get time or can be bothered.
