Tune for Tuesday for Week of 2/24/2014: "HEADHUNT" by OKAMOTO'S

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "HEADHUNT" by OKAMOTO'S, is the amazing opening for the second season of a series I've grown quite found of. Seriously, when it comes engrossing and fascinating stories, with characters so distinct and lovingly written that attempting to pick a favorite is far more trouble than it's worth, and that tend to be accompanied by quite enjoyable soundtracks, I have to give major props to the author of Durarara!! and Baccano! 

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 2/17/2015: "Change The World" by Eric Clapton

For this week’s Tune for Tuesday, I’m going with a song that I have quite the soft spot for, “Change The World” by Eric Clapton. In addition, it also has a specific lyric that I absolutely adore and would not have been surprised to hear people sharing with one another this past Saturday. Any guesses? The only hint I’m giving is that, for a while, I actually thought it was the title of the song, but later learned that it was not.

Also, I’m going to have to put my wrap up post about Outlaw Star Month on hold, though for how long I am not sure. It could be another day, 2 months, 3 weeks, or anything. Right now, I’m just don’t know when I’ll get the chance.

"A Sweet Surprise" by Shads-Pics

For the last day of Outlaw Star Month, I present to everyone a piece of fan art not unlike the first one I showcased at the start of the month. However, considering a certain holiday that takes place tomorrow, I felt it was fitting to share another tribute of my favorite pairing of all time. This picture in particular is also special to me personally, for not only was it originally inspired by one of my pieces of Outlaw Star fan fiction, one I happen to take great pride in, but it was a surprise gift made by the same individual who happened to be the beta editor of said story! I can't think of a more fitting way to end off a month dedicated to my favorite show of all time!

As I've mentioned before, I also intend to do a sort of rap up following the month's conclusion, but whether or not I'll have it ready by tomorrow remains to be seen. You better get ready!

A Month of Outlaw Star: Cosplay Showcase #2!

With only today and tomorrow left in Outlaw Star Month, I felt like I had to showcase at least one more cosplay inspired by said anime. So naturally, I decided to go with a photo depicting a cosplay of my favorite anime girl of all time (as well as my first crush): Melfina!

But wow, to think that tomorrow, it will time for one last big push. And I know just the one for the job! Next time on Outlaw Star Month, I’ll be sharing a personal favorite! You better get ready!

“They rode Westward into the Frontier's setting Sun” by jackcrowder

Not that much time left in Outlaw Star Month, so I better make it count. Today, I bring you all some fan art inspired by one of the most well-written pieces of Outlaw Star fan fiction I've come across to date, written by Rassilon001. You better get ready!

A Month of Outlaw Star: Tune for Tuesday for Week of 2/10/2015

I still can't believe that this is happening. This is the last Tune for Tuesday of Outlaw Star Month. But if there's any song that qualifies for such a significant position, it this. It's the in-series English version of the first closing theme of the anime, the opening sequence for the penultimate episode, and above all, a simple and beautiful yet haunting melody that has resonated with me since I first heard it many, many years ago. You better get ready!

"The Outlaw Star Gang" by pixelmuse

This is it. The last stretch of Outlaw Star Month. The gang's all here to help us make this final week amazing, and with Gilliam II having our back as well (can't have Outlaw Star Month without at least one piece of fan art including the computer of titular ship, after all), we'll definitely be able to enjoy the ride. You better get ready!

Uploading today's tribute for Outlaw Star Month a bit earlier in the day than usual, but I ain't complaining, and I doubt anyone else will. So to celebrate, here's a piece of fan art of the shrewd merchant and amusing financial benefactor of our heroes: Fred Luo!

"Gene Starwind" by DW3Girl

Well, it occurred to me that, despite already halfway through week 4 of Outlaw Star Month, I had yet to post a solo shot of the main character: the one and only Gene Starwind. That could be a problem.
"No kidding! I'm the star of the show!"
Sorry, Gene!

"outlaw star lego" by bohoki

It's hard to believe that it's already the fourth week of Outlaw Star Month. So for today, I'm presenting a very creative type of fan work! This reminds me so much of when, just using the television as reference and whatever LEGOs I had available, I made a replica of the Liger Zero as well as its alternate armors. Too bad it didn't occur to me to take a picture of it back then.
