Rant: Waiting for Maou ep 2 on HQ

12 07 2008

By the way, I’m ranting in peace.

It’s been hours already but I haven’t seen a single post about Maou episode 2 HQ download on LJ communities yet. I am still waiting. For something larger than 640×360 (which is available at forgyoza comm. btw, if anyone’s interested). Because Arashi CB has it! A 704×396 Hi-res at 766.3 MB and a whooping 1024×576 version at 904.5 MB. I could live on the 760MB version provided I could find softsubs later. But if not, I’d just get hardsub versions. Or if I totally love the streaming I would get large raw files UNDECIDED. Ah, I’m having headaches again! A post with TOO MANY NUMBERS and no pictures at all is a torture!

Haha! As much as I love the files on ClubBox, I’m not buying it! I’m only getting the rare ones. But I could leave the rest as long as there are other options. Because downloading from CB takes forever, for me, at least. Because I don’t have fast, fast, fast connections. I only had the first episode on HQ through a torrent since there are softsubs. And my laptop’s downloading it for 3 days already (hopefully, it’s right when it says it will finish in 11 hours when I left it at home this afternoon).

I read on a bulletin board of someone posting links of streaming version of Maou and another poster said that she never watch drama on crappy streaming. TV shows, yes, but drama, no! Ouch. Lucky the one on the fourlc links are just fine with me. Well, at least the first episode, and since I’m watching it on my phone, I’m not that demanding too much about clarity (although it’s positively much much clearer than Youtube videos). And I really can’t watch at home.

Hmm, does the absence of HQs on LJ comms (and surprisingly, only one community uploaded the episode) means that it’s only available because people will surely be EXTREMELY excited about the pilot? The rest, they will not provide links anymore? But I took back my words when I said I MIGHT only watch the pilot to see if it’s any good. Because I decided to follow this series now, religiously! (Hmm, religiously? Maou? Devil? Not quite a good statement.)

AND YES, I REMEMBER THE HANAMARUS! I wish to get the meaning of those new sets of pictures! Both from Sho and Ohno’s episodes!

I wanna go home and get some sleep. Then, I’ll wait for the MU links again for Maou ep.2 whooping HQ sizes!

This is my fourth post for today, I am extremely bored! Or I’m just an extremely boring person, you choose! EDIT: You know how painful enough to read rants, so I’m posting at least one picture (taken from forgyoza, didn’t I so say that I’m so stalking them right now?)

Riida kinda have the expression of Joo Ji-Hoon now when he’s Maou…





Fic-a-Maou #2: Aiba’s Maou Message to Riida

12 07 2008

DISCLAIMER: This message did not happen at all. Don’t ask me for sources.

Last night, I was at home with my family and all of them are in the TV room waiting to watch something when a small man in black suit appear at the screen with a kowaii stare, I told my family, what crap are you watching? You know I hate scary movies! They all ignore me, I can’t believe it! I was touching the TV remote to change channels but then my mom threw a vase at me and yell, "Don’t you dare, delete Ohno-kun’s face at the TV!!!!!". I said, "Ehhhhh?" Honto? "Riida? This is Riida’s all-new and exciting dorama?" I don’t know what I’m more afraid of — Riida’s Maou stare or my mom’s scary temper when watching doramas.

Suge! Suge! That’s all I can say when I had the chance to watch yo drama, Riida! Riida is sugoi ne? What happened to the kawaii Riida? It’s all gone with this dorama! When I see that stare, I melt. He’s too kowai for me. Coz I’m a sunny person, you know.

So, that’s why you asked me about tips on remembering long script lines, ne? You are preparing for this dorama! Suge! Well, I think I helped you a lot, I’m such a tensai to remembering things. Like our dance steps. Anyway, there’s a scene there last night about a girl holding a teddy bear. Uwaaahhh, suddenly I remember the stuff toy I used to have back then to sleep. Such a pitiful little girl.

Well, about the role for me, I’m not choosy like MatsuJun, you can give me any role. Something like an ultra rich guy, that doesn’t die in the story, of course, that would suit me! I’m not happy of the commoner idol, you know!

Goodluck Riida, gambare! About the dance rehearsal you’re missing because you’re taping for Maou, I’ll help you, I’ll teach them to you, after my manager teach them to me. Dohh worry, everything’s under control!





Nino and Sho’s Portrait by my sister

12 07 2008

I occasionally ask my sister to draw me Arashi pictures (hoping she’ll love them even just through their pictures, coz she doesn’t want to watch long doramas) and here are some results. I am proud of my sister, no matter what. I wish I could send her to some art school or classes, but I’m also struggling paying our monthly Internet and electric bills (we also buy food sometimes), so she could only help herself with tips from the net.

She could draw me more pictures, I asked her to draw me more Sho, but I’m lazy to find pictures. And my sister demands high resolution pictures, so there, I can’t feed her Arashi love. I need to work now before she draws Korean celebrities again instead of Arashi

Please visit her deviantart account to see more of her art. She’s currently drawing Yoon Eun-hye. At least one person in our family has a talent for something.

Nino as the maid in Yamada Taro. I’m still begging her to watch that drama (so we could flail together). Maybe you can help me convince her to watch Nino by sending me a message, onegai? I’ll forever thank you for that!

sho black

This is the first drawing I requested from her. She let me add some shadings "to help practice my talent as well". No thanks, my dear sister. I don’t think I can beat Sho with the worst drawings in the world but I could be a runner up. Sorry, I made your drawing bad.





Watch Maou Episode 2 on Streaming

12 07 2008

Too bad, someone died on this episode again (of course, it’s a suspense drama, you silly ace~!) And he’s someone you would recognize, if you’re an Arashi fan. I only saw the last 5 or 10 minutes of the show so, I’m not of any help. Will download these files while waiting for sub. Gonna indulge myself again on the sexiest Maou devil on way home.

MAOU ep02

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

And yes, HQs are up on Clubbox so expect floods from LJ comms tomorrow if you prefer the HQ avi raws.

Maou episodes 1 and 2 are uploaded by fourlc user town009. If I know how to thank her/him, I would but the site is in Chinese.
