Plot Summary: Faced with an outbreak of demonic blood, which transforms humans into insane and hideous creatures bent on violence and death, only one man can stand against the tide of destruction. Joseph Jobson, the only man able to control his cursed demonic form, must hunt down the man who cursed him and save the world from apocalypse.

Just finished up this anime lately. Yeah, I was late ><". Okay this is an anime from GONZO & ppl seems to be hate them for making bad anime's. This anime is different thou. I'd said this is a gem in the rock. I did not put a high hope on this anime at the beginning but I give it a try & it suprise me. It start off really slow in the 1st few episodes, but starting to pick up near the middle. For those who concern, this is a really emo anime. I mean, all the main characters were dead near the middle. Yep, lotsa blood, dead & gore...so if you're not a fan of this, you may dislike this anime. The storyline, character design & the 3D effect were all nicely done as well. What I really like bout this anime is it's full of suprise & the plot's really twisting! The most important is the ending. It was very nice indeed! I believe nowdays anime director are facing problem how to end a series after a successful run for number of episodes hence the very bad ending which I've seen in quite a few anime lately. No doubt that this is the most underrated & suprising anime of the year 2008. For those who still have doubts about this anime, go & watch it & you'll not be dissapointed. This one may not in the same league as Gundam 00 or Code Geass, but still one of the best (action) anime of the year. Based on the ending, I think or at least hope for a 2nd season, OVA or something like that in the future.

Score: 3.5/5 There's still room for improvement especially the unexplainable things in the anime.

Good IP?

We all knew that Streamyx is so f**ked up but sometimes you do get above average speed. How do I get good connection for online gaming & downloads? It's the IP. As far as we know, we streamyx (home) user will get a random IP whenever we switch on our modem / router. If you get an fucked up IP, don't expect your connection will be fast. I'll briefly go through each IP address with you guys here.

I've been a streamyx user for few years already & I know which IP serves me well & which's not. Up to date, we'll basically getting randomly 4 set of IP address whenever we connect to the internet. It's 60.xxx.xx.xxx, 124.xxx.xx.xxx, 115.xxx.xx.xxx, & 118.xxx.xx.xxx. 218 used to be a very powerful IP but I'm not going into that since it's history already.

60 IP
- This is one fucked up IP. Whenever I see this I'll restart my router. This IP doesn't do any good whether for dowload, online gaming or surfing net alone. My RO bots die lotsa time because of this IP & my downloads takes forever to complete. It's basically not moving at all. However, this IP is getting better lately, especially at nite. Good for browsing, but still sucks at downloading & online gaming. & I also keep getting 60 past 12 midnite....argh!

124 IP
- This is one moderate IP. Basically good for everything but not just good enough for me. Works well during morning ~ afternoon but kind sucks at nite time for time being.

115 IP
- I can say this one is slightly better than 124 & far or less the same. I will classified this as a fast IP & if you get this, you're ready for a smooth surfing in the internet world.

118 IP
- The BEST out of 4. Very fast for everything. No matter day or night this IP rulez! 1 thing thou, recently I found out tat 118.101.xx.xxx is operating as normal but 118.100.xx.xxx is so so only...sometimes even worse than 124 or 115. What the hell?




This post is based on my experience with all the IP's used by be, in my area. So other area may be differ. I even heard ppl saying that 60 works well for them but 118 sucks. Before this SHIT happend, 118, 115, 124 all is the BEST IP while 60 sucks no matter what. Even now it stays the same but with a lil difference:

118
- 118.101 only works well for me now. 118.100 is kinda slow...I don't know why..

115 & 124
- They used to be in the same league as 118 but not anymore, especially at night, they lose out t0 60 in terms of web browsing. I still will use both IP's in the day thou.

60
- You'll keep getting this after 12 midnite but worry not, it works like a charm during midnite.

What is good (& bad) fansub to you?

I always wonder what is consider a good fansub? I've been to various forum & so. Seems like many ppl demand an almost perfect (99.9% accurate) subbing to consider as a good sub. For me, it's simple. I just demand a sub that I can understand. Simple & straight to the point doesn't matter as long as it doesn't run out of what the original meaning mean. For example, the so-called one of the worst fansub out there, Chihiro sub's fine for me too. I just don't understand why those ppl bash them like nobody business. They're (Chihiro) famous for speed-sub & that doesn't mean their sub is bad. Although I've to admit they're maybe no better than some fansub group out there, but at least it's understandable & I can promise that their sub is sometimes better than the so-called original DVD sub.

Tbh, I've yet to see a VERY worst fansub in my life so far but many bad sub in "so-called original DVD" which's selling in Malaysia. The subs is just unacceptable. I really can't understand what the f**k they're trying to said. I feel like throwing the DVD's away when I saw that =.=" According to my friend, there's 2 type of DVD. One is Local-Original (crappy sub + cut scenes) & another is Imported-Original (very good sub + uncut) but of course the price also different besides the quality.

So, now I rarely go & buy original anime DVD already since the original is not original & imported one is too expensive for me. I'll stick to fansub for the time being & only will buy Imported-DVD if I really like the series & have lotsa extra money ^^. & pls don't hate fansub, (whether they're doing a good or bad job) coz they're doing it for FREE!!!

Enjoy!!!

Streamyx Down (yet again...not really)

It's been already 2 days since I suffer from not-so-fast connection...Well, this might not a big deal for some, or most ppl out there since we can still blogging, msn & stuff's like that but it definately deals a big blow for me.

Not really down by any means but Service Interruption. You can read more HERE. For a heavy downloader like me, this is more than enough for me to cursed. I usually get around 150kb/sec while Thundering & about the same speed for Direct Downloading if I gets the good IP, but not anymore. Now my DLL (Direct Download) goes around 80kb/sec the most & once in a while only hits 100kb/sec while Thundering is a waste of time & effort (few KB/sec).

I'm more & more used to this kind of shit already. One year sure got few times. I don't care accident or what but why every year oso like this?

Got many ppl recommended me to use W1MAX & Celcom but no thanks coz I really can't stand their limited bandwidth useage. If I want to upgrade my line, I might as well get the 2MB line from Streamyx. 1MB line is very good for now & 2MB would be awesome. At least Streamyx is unlimited.
