Let's fill the world with Skies of Arcadia!

Because you should know that I LOVE Skies of Arcadia, even if I played only Legends for Gamecube (unfortunately I don't have a Dreamcast). You don't know this game? Well, just google It or look on the internet, I mean we are in 2013 don't be lazy! :P
For graphic design class we had to create our own book, design, text, everything, so I decided to make a fanbook. I actually drew a short doujinshi (comic) for the Skies Of Arcadia Legends 10th anniversary Fanbook sold at Comic Market last winter.

Front and cack cover
I decided to put the short comic inside the book, I wrote also a review, kind of a game description with all my opinions concerning the game. The most difficult part was actually write everything in japanese... well dictionary and internet helped me a lot^^

inside the book
I'm so glad I finish everything before the deadline...
If you have time and if you like RPG you should-no wait, YOU HAD TO play this game! Atmosphere, Story, Characters, setting, everything is just so amazing^^

Talking about games, I have recently bought a Ps3!
Tadaaaaan is Nino Kuni Special Edition!

Nyanko sensei not included
First thing I have done is... BUY JOURNEY. That's not a game, that's art! If you have a Ps3 you should buy It as well... BUY IT NOW.
Then I just try to play a psone game I bought the same day...
It works!!!
FFIX is another one of my favourite games. I like the cheerful world, and the funny characters in the game. Really unique in Its stlye, one of my fav FF with VI.
Playing the japanese version make me remember all the good memories I had when I played It many years ago^^

Tokyo Game Show 2012

Phantasy star online is back!
I went to the Tokyo Game Show for the second time.
It was overcrowed as hell like always....but I must say that It was pretty fun, also I met a lot of friends there! YAY! Of course It was impossible to play games like Monster Hunter 4, too much people, and the tickets for the demo were sold out 30 minutes after the opening of the TGS. Even if I get there early, I had to wait almost one hour in line. Anyway, I saw MH4 presentation (Yian Kut-Ku is back!), then I bought some MH and Gyakuten Saiban stuff at the Capcom shops, and somehow I spent 80 minutes in line for LaytonVS Phoenix Wright, totally worth IT (?). Not kidding, the game looks pretty good, and Shu Takumi was working on It, so ok!
I couldn't play MH4, but I took a look at the stand, It was like a little village full of MH things... and the feline, ywah THE KITTY WAS SO CUTE I COULDN'T RESIST*^*
Gyakuten Saiban V (Phoenix Wright) stand was probably the most amazing of the TGS, take a look here...

I mean, what the hell! It's a real courtroom!
Probably only the Biohazard 6 could have been at the same level... well done CAPCOM!
The cosplayers were pretty cool, I was happy too find also characters as Pit or Palutena!

amazing monster hunter armor!
You can't even image how tired I was after a day like this...!^^" But as I said, It was really fun.
I think that from now on I will have time for NOTHING. I have just started the second semester and guess what, I'm at univeristy from 9AM to 9PM almost everyday. For lessons of course, but also for some project that I need to finish for the 文化際 (Bunka sai, aka School Festival), 3DCG movie is one of THESE. 頑張ります!

Everyone ready for E3?!

Or maybe you just don't give a f--- nothing!
E3 hasn't started yet, but.... yesterday I found THIS

LMAO I LOVE THE INTERNET
I'm watching E3 only for pictures like this one!
As always, I'm planning to see the live press conference via web with a friend! Hope It isn't boring like last year... everytime I hope to see interesting and original games, or maybe some good old series or amazing game like Arcadia, Chrono, Mother, blahblha we know that is impossible with this new generation *sigh* 

Talking about something else, I'm doing a little drawing for a friend's book, that is gonna be published this summer. The book is called "Nightshade" written by my friend Jonelle Patrick. If you have interest in Japan and japanese culture you should read It! You can find the book on amazon as e-book version ;)
Also, I'm really busy with classes and homeworks, for example 3DCG. Working with maya is cool, but It takes so many hours... And I need to finish a "room" for next monday, with textures render and everything! :S When I will have time, I'll try to post something here in this blog, so just wait! ;)

大学生活〜 University Life

A wild Pikachu appeared at the third campus!
Finally I have time to update this blog! YAY
I always promise to update as soon as possible but I always fail. Oh, well whatever lol
Probably you are wondering why I'm writing in english even if I'm italian. The fact is that english is the most common language and "usually" everybody can understand It... that's why I'm writing in english, so that everyone around the world can understand my blog. However my english is not so good, so I apologize for errors/mistakes and other stuff ^^"
Talking about University... well, It is quite hard, because everything is in Japanese. And when I said everything, believe me, I'm talking about E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G : reports, questions, books, homeworks, rules, notifications... sometimes even japanese students don't understand, you can imagine how difficult is for a ryuugakusei (留学生), an exchange student.
Anyway, I said difficult, but actually university is really cool. I can finally choose what I WANT to study. Of course you need to take some classes like japanese, entertainment, digital comunication, but the good thing is that you can also choose other classes.  For example, I'm taking 3D Computer Graphic, rough sketch class, and human anatomy. The last one It's really hard. Of course you have to draw human body, bones and so on, but the real problem is that you have to memorize all the name in japanese... and the funny thing is that sometimes I don't even know the name in my language lol

classroom at early morning... in front of Yodobashi-Akiba
For me is the first time at university, so this system is all new. But I must say that I kinda like It. The thing that Iike the most, is that you have to organize your own time. You are free, but you have responsability, kind of mature ;)
I have also made a lot of friends, most of them are Chinese, but there also guys from Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Taiwan, one from Costa Rica, one from Spain, another one from German... I have some japanese friends as well. About japanese students, I must say that isn't so easy to talk with them, they are rather shy. Maybe because at first they are a bit afraid of foreigner... well we gaijin are not going to eat you, so take It easy guys^^"
Talking about a different topic, when I have free time I read the book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by Martin, and usually talking with one of my friends at university. However, lately I have been playing a new 3DS games: Fire Emblem kakusei (ファイアーエムブレム覚醒). I thought no one know Fire Emblem, but here in Japan It's pretty famous. I won't spoiler the game, but let me say a few opinions. The gameplay is basically always the same-I like It, A LOT- also they added some interesting stuff like double-attack, and change-camera button during battle. Playing It is really fun. However I don't really like the story. I mean, It's not so bad, but at the same time not so cool as I thought before buying the game... It's so-so (maa maa まあまあ〜 ). The CG movie are cool, but I still don't like the character design, I'm sorry to said that but It doesn't suite Fire Emblem series... I prefer the other one used for Path of Radiance ad Goddess of Dawn, way more beautiful and original than this.
Another thing that is "maa maa" are the characters: the idea of making your own character is interesting, but the other characters are way too stupid, and usually act like stereotypes from anime/manga. Also their discussions are really poor. Well sometimes are quite funny, but still stupid.

Kuromu-sama: he, I'm nakeeeeddd!!!!
My character "accidentally" found prince Kuromu naked.
Next time they will add high school students with uniform and then we'll get the perfect "medival fantasy school drama". Urgh, don't wanna think about that...!

大学 University

皆さん、お久しぶりだね (´∀`)
やっと大学が始まった!実は、1日から〜6日まで一年生のガイダンスだけだった。。。が、その週間に色んな事があって、ずっと忙しくて、ブロッグで新しいポストを出来なかった。本当にごめんなさい (´・ω・`)
月曜日から授業があるけど、その日から一所懸命頑張ります!ブロッグのため、もちろん勉強のためにも!

Hello! Finally University has started, YEAAAH!  From April 1st to April 6th I had the school guidance: course presentation, informations, and stuff.. of course all in Japanese @_@ Even if It was a "guidance", I was quite busy with lessons and other thinks... like buying furnitures for the apartment, buying textbooks... That's why I wasn't able to update my blog, I'm really sorry for that (´・ω・`)
Next monday I will have class and starting that day I will do my best! Not only for school, but also for this blog hehe :P

とりあえず、新しい絵を描いた! (・ω・)
Anyway, let's talk about something else... for example, drawings! I have a new one that I did last week

ポケットモンスターのシゲル  -  Gary Oak from Pokèmon
最近、時間があれば(例えば電車の中でとか。。(・∀・) )ゲームをやっています。イラストはNintendoDsの『二ノ国 漆黒の魔導士』というゲームなんです。私はスタジオジブリと久石譲の大ファンですから、このゲームをやると思っていた。英語のバーションがないので、全部日本語でやると思った!やっぱり、勉強にななってしまいましたね(;´∀`)それに、ゲームだけではない、必要な本もあるし。どうして?もちろん、魔法指南のため!これ、面白いですね。本の中で絵がすごくきれいと思う。大好きです。

Also, when I have time (on the train lol) I'm playing a really nice game for Nintendo Ds: Ni no Kuni! As a great fan of Studio Ghibli's works and Hisaishi Joe's music, I really had to play this! Unfortunately, this game hasn't come out in Europe or USA... but I know that they are going to translate the ps3 version, check this out!!!! . However, the most interesting thing is that you need a "magic book" to play this game! In fact, everytime you have to draw a macig spell, you need to check the special book included with the game! I think It's really original :P And the drawings inside the book are so beautiful!
