exams cringe!

yayuu yay

lawl~ as the title serves, I’ll be having a test on Science by my tutoring teacher. It’s nothing official, but I’m still anxious all the same due to the fact that this is actually the second time we (me and my sister) are taking the test on the same topic. The last time we didn’t make it on time with the Subjective Section. he last time, we took on 4 took on 4 topics in the time span of 45 minutes. Clearly it wasn’t enough, resulting with us answering only 4 out of 20 subjective questions to the disappointment of our tutor. and top off that, she was screaming at another student she was teaching and not happy with the results we showed her, she totally lashed it out on us lawl. Though not that I can blame her though. I mean it was our fault and since she was already stressed out as it is lawl. So we took it as a wake up call or rather a stepping stone to achieve better. So this time she gave us only 2 subjects for the span of 2 hours. It’ll be on this coming Monday at 8 PM. I guess it’s the thought of failing again that makes me cringe, but hopefully I’ll make it through safely.

on a lighter note though, I watched Bus Gamer OVA online at Crunchyroll and I’ve got to say that I wasn’t happy at all with the Animation result. Aside from the mediocre animation flow, I disliked the fact that the chemistry between the 3 main characters weren’t coming through like it did in the Manga. Menkura-sensei put a lot of effort into the characters’ relationship and it saddens me that the very presence doesn’t seem to be present in the animation. In the Manga version, they didn’t like each other at first but they were never in a way hostile with each other. They respected each other’s space and says drastic things only when there’s no other way to get about it. But soon respect grew into fondness which was nice to see how they all warmed up to each other. In the Animation however, they were all rude and hostile towards each other. Mainly Nobu and Mishiba. And so far as the first episode goes, they have yet to show any kind of respect for each other especially towards Kazuo. Though yes, in the manga they think that he’s an idiot, but it’s the idiot they’ve always been fond of and at a point even though they find him weak (compared to them) in combat sense, they often noted on how if they were to go up against him when it comes to electronics and gadgets that they’d lose hands down. In the Animation, they totally disregarded this and even to an extent where Mishiba told Kazuo not to call him by the first name. (i think that was a drastic input into Toki’s character). Since he’s original characteristics were Calm, Cool, Collected and Distant while in the Animation he was Rude, Cold, Cocky and Hot-Headed. Overall I felt that the animation (once again) didn’t do justice to Minekura-sensei’s stories. But then again when was I ever satisfied when the animation version comes out? I guess it’s because the story gave me such an impact that i expected the animation to be the same if not more. I’ve always felt that “if you’re not going to impress us like Minekura-sensei did, then don’t pick up the project” XD;;; a bit harsh but oh well. Sometimes something than nothing right? The opening and ending songs were nice though.

Well, I’m not going to spoil your appetites to watch the animation. This is my humble opinion about it, but it’d be great if you guys can go and watch and be the judge yourself. XD most people said it was great and awesome, but then I guess compared to the manga, it’s hard to say. Oh well. That’s all for today. Until the next time!
