More after the jump.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">So I got like 50+ Trojans, some registry hacks, and some other random sh*t on my computer. That's the last time I download a keygen from an obscure website.<br /><br />List of things I did:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><li>Malwarebytes Scan</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>AVG 8.0 Free Scan</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>SUPER Antispyware Scan</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>Microsoft Registry Cleaner Scan</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>Microsoft Defender Scan</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>HiJack This Scan</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>Reinstall Windows XP SP2</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>Regedit here and there</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>Avast Antivirus Scan</li></span><br /><span class="fullpost"><li>Combofix</li></span></div><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />The Virus was a total bitch because it locked up antivirus programs and system restore. It also screwed up my search engine links in Firefox, destroyed my windows theme, corrupted part of my harddrives (thank god not the media), and corrupted my recycle bin. I lost some minor information crap, etc. I got random crashes on startup and freezing too... Hopefully combofix worked for those.<br /><br />On the + side, I totally revamped my desktop after having to delete so much shit. I also got Album Art for all of my music, learned how to use RSS and Smart Playlists, and fixed up my ffox fastdial to make it epic.

As I learn more CSS, I am starting to make headway and the site layout will be finalized soon. I am also revamping my posting procedure, and learning about Picasa's collage-maker feature, so I may be able to review all the ongoing anime that I watch. I think a slice of me(onlyme775) is going to be suspended indefinitely and there will be lots of good stuff coming up. Category types will be changed and once I turn regular, expect a schedule change, etc. I think I'm going to wipe all my previous posts (possibly) after I get everything finalized. Give me a month and then this will be continuous. I may also start up a secondary blog about life and random musings. See you in a month :DMeonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-52467951995993743922009-02-03T21:59:00.000-08:002009-02-03T23:44:20.662-08:00Announcement: Site MaintainenceThanks to <a href="http://myanimelist.net/profile/Somnia">Somnia</a> for pointing out that the comments don't work.

For suggestions or comments, please email me at meonlyme.web@gmail.com. Also, if you know why the comments don't work, please, please let me know. Again thank you. :D<br /><br />I am also trying to figure out how to add a break in-between posts, as one is not apparent (yet). I am trying to be patient, but this is really frustrating...

Bear with me.Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-45227407829105600882009-02-01T17:31:00.000-08:002009-02-01T17:37:48.234-08:00Final Thoughts: Kara no Kyoukai 5Still no pictures because I don't have much time to do this efficiently. I just HAVE to post this because KnK 5 was epic. If you haven't watched this series, it is worth watching FOR THIS MOVIE ALONE. Kara no Kyoukai is a 7-part movie installment that has basically the most breathtaking animation...ever. However, the character development within it is also incredibly complex and some of the psychological elements can make you seriously think.<br /><br />For those that don't know, KnK is not in chronological order. The correct order is:<br />1. KnK 2<br />2. KnK 4<br />3. KnK 3<br />4. KnK 1<br />5. KnK 5<br />6. KnK 6<br />7. KnK 7<br /><br />To begin with, #5 was almost 2 hours, more than double what the previous 4 movies were. There were numerous fight scenes, which is a first, and each and every one was full of epicness. Kara no Kyoukai has the most impressive fights of any anime I have ever watched (probably because it is a movie so the budget is very high). The soundtrack was top notch, once again, with my personal favorite from Kalafina, Sprinter, as the ED. Between the flying limbs and ridiculous magic spells, I was captivated for the entire 2 hours. I would watch it again in a heartbeat if I didn't have so much other stuff to watch. This is one anime that I would buy on DVD if it were licensed in the US.<br /><br />An interesting piece of news: KnK is now the #1 anime movie of all time on MAL and the #1 anime on my list. I give this a 9.9/10 for being slightly confusing at times (some events occur multiple times. the movie is by no means chronological). Again, this is a MUST WATCH. I suggest you watch the movies in chronological order, however, as the first one has absolutely no background explanation.Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-604123138672153932009-01-31T23:49:00.000-08:002009-02-01T00:16:30.643-08:00Announcement: notes and Spice and Wolf, Ghost in the Shell, Kara no Kyoukai 4/5A few quick comments because I'm not ready to start blogging again. I want to finalize the site layout first, which will make my posting easier as well.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><br />First things first, I am finally able to consistently watch anime on weekdays, so I will post airing anime as I watch them, with almost no exceptions. I am currently planning on doing 2 shows (possibly more with exceptions) per season, so a total of 4 anime. If I find a cowriter, we will be able to cover more aired shows (email me at meonlyme.web@gmail.com if you're interested). My thoughts on the current seasons are Clannad ~After Story~ and Gundam 00 s2 for Fall 2008 and Ride Back and Maria+Holic for Winter 2008. Additionally, I will probably post weekly updates for the rest of the shows I am watching. These weekly updates will be short and concise unless something really interesting happens for a certain week. My other currently airing anime for the time being are: Kurokami, Munto TV, Toradora, Kuroshitsuji (kinda on hold but I'm interested in starting up again due to the new Kalafina ED <- Kara no Kyoukai band), To Aru Majutsu no Index, Axis Powers Hetalia, and Kemono no Souja Erin.<br /><br />Next, an announcement that my anime list on MAL has been updated to more accurately reflect my feelings. I have changed around many of my scores, usually to a more picky standard. Some changes to note are that I have removed 1/4 of my 10's and 9's. There are also noticeably more 7's. To see all my scores so far, go to <a href="http://myanimelist.net/animelist/meonlyme775">http://myanimelist.net/animelist/meonlyme775</a>. Some important changes are a drop from 9 to 8 for Haruhi and FLCL. A drop from 10 to 9 for Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiohuken and The Place Promised in Our Early Days. In ongoing anime, all 9's have been dropped to 8's (with Toradora! as an exception) and several 8's have been dropped to 7's. There is also one 6 in the mix (Kemono no Souja Erin). Clannad and Gundam are still too good, so they have 10's for the time being. Gundam will (probably) be dropped down to a 9, but we'll see.<br /><br />Finally, I have a few comments about anime I recently finished.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Spice and Wolf</span> edit: this post somehow got cut up. I'll try to repost as much as possible.<br />I <3 Horo so much. I was sucked into the story so much, although ~95% of it was dialogue. Learning about medieval merchant trading has never been so interesting :D. The character development and facial expressions (again <3 Horo) were excellent and I almost gave this a 10. The only thing holding it back were the animation and production quality. Still a solid 9.5/10 and I will definitely be watching the <a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/5341/Spice_and_Wolf_II">second season</a> :P<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Ghost in the Shell (1995)</span><br />My computer somehow lagged with the THORA version of this (and here I thought my graphics card was good enough) so I had to change the video renderer back to the Overlay Mixer. As a result, I didn't exactly get the most out of the movie, but it was still excellent. The only complaint I have was the animation and artwork, but that's mostly because of how old the movie is. A solid 8/10, which is incredibly good for how old it is. Some serious thinking is needed to get the most out of this. You never know how far technology can go... or to quote the words of Kusanagi Motoko: “If a technological feat is possible, man will do it. Almost as if it’s wired into the core of our being.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Kara no Kyoukai 4</span><br />Well, I finally got around to watching this, seeing as the 5th movie got subbed. Although this one was short (only 46 minutes), I thought it was the best so far (although MAL seems to think that 5 is the best so far. I'm excited). The music and animation were once again top par, and I got to see into the mind of Shiki in a way that wasn't apparent before. Some interesting psychological questions and Toukou being badass as a magician. Not bad at all. The ending was amazing (it's Kalafina, c'mon) and I was tempted to give this a 10 on MAL. However, the fight was lacking and it didn't give true 10 vibes, so I'll give it a 9.4/10. Still not a bad performance.<br /></span>Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-69843779318716490182009-01-26T19:43:00.000-08:002009-01-26T19:44:48.057-08:00Progress?Ok, so I bought a book on html and css. It'll probably take me around a month on and off to read (it's over 800 pages). By the time the new site is up, I should have a much better layout ;D.

Hopefully I'll be able to start up before spring season rolls around.<br /><br />OK, so this may sound retarded, but I am moving again (or at least trying to). I submitted a request to animeblogger.net and hope to get started up again. I know this is really sudden and I don't have very many posts to back this up, but note that the format will be different on the other site, so I don't want to post anything extra in the case that I can move.<br /><br />I am finalizing my schedule to fit into my time, and this blog can be considered a "beta." I will definitely make the template more friendly (probably with a white-type bg) and create a legit banner (or banners). There is the possibility that I cannot move, and may have to start over completely.<br /><br />That being said, finals week is pissing me off, and I need some time to relax. There will be NO posts this week and posting will resume when the time is right (probably next week). Hopefully by then I'll be on the other website.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Final Grades so far:</span><br />AP English: 97.7% A (82.8% on final)<br />AP Calculus: 103% A+ (92% on final) [105.5% test average. Boo-ya.]<br />AP Physics: 100.1% A+ (101.6% on final)<br />AP US History: 91.0% A- (80.0% on final)<br />AP Spanish 4: ?<br />Advanced Journalism: ? (meh)<br />Health: 98.1% A (98.0% on final)<br /><br />Some changes that I have considered and that you should probably know:<br /><ul><li>Posts will be on an as-watched basis, not post-weekend for airing anime (although they will still be posted on weekends probably because that's when I watch stuff).</li></ul><br /><ul><li>7 tracks for 7 days is now A Track a Day Keeps the Boredom Away. This means that I will be posting 1 song a day. (which is funny because I haven't posted 7tf7d yet.</li></ul><br /><ul><li>*Update 1/25/09: I will be doing 2 shows per season with exceptions. This means 4 shows of continuous blogging at one time. When single-season anime end, I will pick up from where I am at with a double-season anime from the same starting season*</li><li>A final blogging schedule for winter 2008 will be set by the time I move. That means no winter previews for a quite a few shows. My apologies, but this is easier for me. So far, it looks like Gundam 00 s2, Clannad ~After Story~, Ride Back, Maria+Holic, and Toradora!. However, this is subject to change and I may post snippets of other shows that I am watching at times such as To Aru Majutsu no Index. Additionally, I have some shows that I have yet to watch, such as Munto TV and Kemeno no Souja Erin, so those may very well kick some of the shows out of the blogging list (I'm keeping it down to 5 at a time now).</li></ul><br /><ul><li>A Slice of Me(onlyme) will be on Fridays instead of Thursdays from now on. This is because the music is being moved from Thursdays to all days. Remember, there will be no posts this week. Anticipate a large series of posts. The Best of Anime... posts will be extremely useful. Basically me saying what I use to watch anime.</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Final Thoughts posts will be the same.</li></ul>Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-48786003629124417382009-01-21T14:00:00.000-08:002009-02-02T21:40:36.441-08:00Announcement: New Post Format<div style="text-align: justify;">I finally got the Full Post... code to work. I had to switch over to IE because FFox wouldn't let me edit the html code of my template for some reason. Anyways... The summary will be on the home page and the full post is in the article's own page (this will usually be screenshots). I will now be implementing this into the past posts as well, so be patient as those are cleared up.<br /><br />Also, the home page is down to 5 posts. That means you'll have to dig into the archives or search for anything other than the last five posts. I apologize for all the announcement posts and lack of content. I'm still trying to figure out how to do this so bear with me.<br /><br />Note that the page should load faster now. I am in the middle of removing the about and scoring from the bottom and making them separate posts so that the site is more navigatable. TY for your consideration. Hopefully i can finish this up.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the Full Post... will appear in every post. Be patient and don't get mad if you click on it and it gives you no additional information.<br /></div>Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-26668290569815491302009-01-20T19:47:00.000-08:002009-02-02T21:59:23.124-08:00Post-weekend Review 01: Ride Back 01<div style="text-align: justify;">*note: new image sizes and now I'm justifying. Changed from imageshack to photobucket. Changing order of posts around. Since I'm on photobucket, some of my older posts may not have links and I will not update them. Sorry :'( I also apologize for the possible out-of-orderness of pictures in this post. I am using a new program and still becoming familiar with it. Also added a "back to top" button at the end of the post. Please note that this goes back to the top of the homepage (which you might or might not want).<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w189/meonlyme775/Ride%20Back%2001/?action=view&current=Image_09.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w189/meonlyme775/Ride%20Back%2001/Image_09.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">One word: Epic.</span><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Title:</span> Ride Back<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fansub:</span> [I-Z]<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Season:</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Winter 2008</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Episode:</span> 01<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Score:</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">8.7/10</span> Possibly the best anime of winter '08.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Ride Back is strange mash-up, but in a way that I love. It mixes dancing with motorcycle mecha to produce an anime unlike anything I've ever seen. The closest I can compare it to is Macross Frontier, which is doing neither show justice. Just imagine Macross F with dancing instead of singing... well not really but you get my point.<br /><br />Aside from that, Ride Back has some truly astounding visuals that reminded me of Byousoku 5 cm at times (If you haven't watched Byousoku 5 cm, go NOW. It is one of the most moving movies of all time, anime or not. Makoto Shinkai + Tenmon = win). The only true problem I have with it is the use of CGI, but it is fluid and I don't mind... much.

Something needs to be done about this or I have a feeling that the whole ISML system is going to be rigged.<br /><br />Some final notes:<br />-All my precious ef characters didn't make it :'(<br />-Shiki didn't make the cut (yet) either :'( x2<br />-Taiga isn't too bad of a candidate, but the Touhou chars are really getting on my nerves...<br /><br />Also, don't forget to check out the ISML News column on the bottom right-ish area for my personal picks and (almost) up-to-date results.<br /></div>Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-69802607752237833632009-01-19T19:27:00.001-08:002009-02-02T21:59:52.425-08:00Announcement: Big delay<div style="text-align: justify;">Very sorry, but as I learn html and try to increase my viewer base, I have not left enough time for the rest of the Post-weekend Review.

I may have to consider not blogging of about half of what I have lined up right now and limiting it to 5 shows at a time (even when seasons overlap). That being said, I will probably still do first impression reviews of all my winter anime unless I change my mind in the future.<br /></div>Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-7523005934432427272009-01-18T19:39:00.000-08:002009-02-02T22:00:05.867-08:00Post-weekend Review 01: Maria+Holic 02<div style="text-align: justify;">So I'm slowly learning as I go how to most efficiently host pics.

Touma needs to lose or my chances of continuing to blog this are slim. I mean c'mon, he already beat the strongest ESPer in Academy City. What more can he do? Also, the whole loli-harem setup is not getting through as much as it should.

However, I may mention certain aspects within a review. Scores are roughly based on a 10-point system in which the score is basically my final thoughts. In certain cases, I may give a second 10-point score for quality, as some anime may be technically sound but lacking for some reason in making an impression. Anything 8 or above will almost certainly be blogged unless I am swamped with too many shows. The scoring list goes something like this:<br /><br />10- "Wow! This is why I watch anime." Generally I know right away when an anime is a 10 just from the feeling I get.<br /><br />9- "That was really top-notch but not quite a masterpiece." A 9 has all the qualities of an 8 but either excels in one subcategory or is very well done all around. 9's usually make you want more consistently.<br /><br />8- "That was pretty good." 8's are generally in the top tier of a season and are well-rounded. They don't excel in one area, but are still worthy of watching and carry entertainment value. Most of the anime that I follow are 8's.<br /><br />7- "I'll keep watching to see if it picks up." A 7 is on the border of being dropped. There is nothing wrong with it, but it just isn't good enough to spend the time to watch. I mean, I could be watching a completed anime that is easily better than a 7. If a 7 stays a 7 for roughly 5-10 episodes, I will likely drop it.<br /><br />6- "Meh." When a 7 drops to a 6, I give it 1 more episode before I drop it. 6's make me bored at times and are usually shows that I leave until the end to watch.<br /><br />5- and below "I can't take it anymore." When a show drops to below a 6, it is basically done. It is too slow for me to even watch 1 more episode, so I drop it. If there are favorable reviews later, I *might* pick it back up.<br /></div>Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542496022806462215.post-47301056408054740762009-01-17T15:10:00.000-08:002009-02-02T22:00:35.704-08:00About MoM Animeblog<div style="text-align: justify;">Welcome to the MoM (or meonlyme) Animeblog. Feel free to <a href="http://myanimelist.net/profile/meonlyme775" target="blank">add me on myanimelist.net</a> and no, I am not going to take care of you like your mom. This is my first blog ever, and I hope to satisfy at least some hungry Otaku in the sea that we know as the internet by blogging about all good things anime (well at least some).<br /><br />I'm 16 years old and live in So-Cal. I started watching anime "seriously" probably in the summer of '07. Why don't you stay and read a while? :D<br /><br />The major components of my blog are:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Currently Airing: </span>Currently airing anime reviews. Right now I'm planning on 2 shows per season.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Final Thoughts:</span> Finished anime that I have yet to watch get reviews in this section when I complete them. Currently airing anime have a final post here as well when they end.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Track a Day Keeps the Boredom Away:</span> 1 track of music EVERY DAY. This will start up once I figure out how to host music without bandwidth issues.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Slice of Me(onlyme775):</span> Post on Friday about whatever I want to talk about. Usually anime-related and useful.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">International Saimoe League (ISML): </span>Posts on <a href="http://www.internationalsaimoe.com/">ISML</a> news as it happens.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Week of Reviews: </span>Reviews of all the other ongoing anime that I watch, but don't have time to fully blog. Usually just snippets of info.<br /></div>Meonlyme775http://www.blogger.com/profile/06875485766319988329noreply@blogger.com0
