Shingeki no Kyojin OP CD obtains rank #2 on Oricon charts

Oricon released the first set of rankings for new CDs releases for this week, which includes Shingeki no Kyojin's OP song, Guren no Yumiya by Linked Horizon, which scored an amazing rank of #2. Gero's single, BelovedXSurvival, the OP song for Brothers Conflict, got ranked #18. Further, I couldn't believe my eyes when the Karneval (OnoD+Hirarin) Character CD got within top 30, in particular #26, this goes to show how powerful the fandom is.

Pumpkin's Palette: BroConf Dance Log (Quick: Pt I)

I still can't get over my BroConf high. Here's a quick tablet scratch inspired by the ED sequence.

Brothers Conflict - Episode 2 [v.P]

Hey Bro! Guess what time of the week it is? Yup, it's BroConf time.

This deadly endcard!

I need a place to spaz fangirl about my favourite anime of the season, so I guess I'll be doing reviews (ie. posting screencaps and random feedback) of BroConf.

Pumpkin's Palette: Gilles De Rais (Makai Ouji)

I watched the first episode of Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist today yesterday, and I was amazed (once again) by Toriumi's voice acting skills. I loved his character so much that it gave me inspiration to draw him: Gilles De Rais.

30 layers. 8 hours. I am so done with this. I hates frills.

Pumpkin's Palette: Asahina Tsubaki

I did say expect fan-work from me for BroConf. Here's fanart #1: The 5th brother Asahina Tsubaki.

Coloured version

After 2 hours of work I just want to say 'I give up'. Shadowing hates me.

English translation

Tell me what I should do.
It was never my intention to make you cry.
[Liar!]
Just as the world without a doubt keeps spinning,
I'm not like him, with malicious/bad intentions (towards you).
Let me invite you,
My sweet one.
But you rejected me;
That can't be true, right?
The feeling of sweet candy being crushed between your teeth,
I'm feeling a little impatient,
My heart's completely fallen in love with you.

My sister,
I've fallen madly in love with you,
If only you'd allow me to give you a gentle kiss.
I'm sorry, but I really want to hug you.
[Get away from me!]
If you can accept both pain and sorrow,
Then I'll entrust everything (/all of me) to you right now.
Kiss, kiss, kiss,
I need your love.

Seiyuu appreciation post: Morikawa, KENN and Tomozaku

Morikawa Toshiyuki updated his blog this afternoon and he posted a few interesting pictures, including one where KENN (left) and Tomozaku Sugita (right) were making silly poses.

[Lyrics] IN FUTURE!! - Yuutaku II 「ゆーたくⅡ」

Basic info:

"Yuutaku II" 「ゆーたくⅡ」 is a unit comprised of two seiyuus, Ono Yuuki and Eguchi Takuya. Their two-sided debut single is called 『third Wizard/IN FUTURE!!』. The song "third Wizard" is used as the main theme song of the radio show "What will I do? What will I be!? Yuutaku II" 「どうする?どうなる!?ゆーたくⅡ」, and their second song "IN FUTURE!!" is used as a ending song of the anime Battle Spirits: Sword Eyes.

Comments:

I found these two songs to be very upbeat and catchy. It's full of fun and energy (especially in their PV, they act pretty childish/silly). 

You can download a sample of this single here.

Description: Kanji lyrics and Romaji lyrics of Yuutaku II's song "IN FUTURE!!".

Note: English translation coming soon.
