    Gaaah, Smokey. Yeah, that was crushing. Especially with 'Break into the Dark' playing in the background.

    Man, that series abuses the same songs over and over, but they're so freaking powerful it doesn't matter.

    It's definitely an enjoyable soundtrack that really gets the proper mood going.

    Speaking of which, here's a neat amv of the Amamiya Bros doing their Batman thing with the song Chain Breaker from the soundtrack...And it's really putting me in that kick ass mood.

    Hah. Freaking Amamiyas. Love those guys.

    Kind of fun watching that video, even without sound (I'm at work, no sound here). I keep seeing little things in isolation that remind of stuff from the movies, like just how FAR Hiroto throws that guy...with one arm. Or when Hiroto is fighting Ice, there's this one instant where they slow down the film and Hiroto's eyes narrow, like he's catching sight of a weakness in Ice's fighting; then he baits Ice into attacking, dodges, and just plows him through the wooden pallet.

    ...I need to search for a video about Masaki's goofy moments, because he has a few. Not sure there are enough to fill up a music video, but still.

    Ugh. Good luck, man. Hope it won't be too horrid, but you don't sound happy.

    Well, it's a decent job and management has been very fair but yeah, this year has made me weary regarding retail as I shifted a lot less in Operations and straight up Sales.

    And now that we're given orders to completely close fitting rooms until further notice again, I'm expecting complaints going my way.

    Customer: But Nordstrom has theirs open! You guys are strict!

    Me: ...Nothing I can do, unfortunately. But yeah, keep trying to rip my head off with your words. I'll wait.

    Yeah, but thankfully it's not an recurring issue.

    Thankfully a day off tomorrow.

    thanks.

    i based the design of castlevania. specifically, the AOS incarnation. i added a few bits from the SOTN incarnation but overall, i wanted it to be livable. the floating aspect was to fit the sci-fi fantasy vibe of my novel.

    I really like the manga but I remember that the opening couple of episodes are a bit slow.

    I will likely jump in when things actually kick off for real.
