Well, long time no see! Honestly this page is gathering dust...which is why I was so surprised that someone contacted me to continue the Wraith book. That makes me very happy!
Now I'm now an engineer, finally free from college but also with responsibilities that make harder to spend time on it. Still working on the projects though and won't stop until all supplements are released!

SO...WHAT HAVE I DONE?
1.-CREATING A WAIFU.
Because what's the point of studying mechatronics if you can't work on that IronMan armor and your robotic waifu?
I'm making a service robot in Java with the purpose of acting as a robotic assistant and companion for lonely people. As its evident I'm not confident in my social abilities and have trouble standing being around people for extended periods of time so having an electronic companion would definitely make life easier for people like me. Coincidentally it also provides benefits in other areas like caring for the elderly and the sick, domotics, etc.
Currently trying to have her recognize my speech and to speak using a synthesizer.

2.-WATCHED BLACK ROCK SHOOTER!
I have a long list of anime to watch and haven't made much progress lately. Most of my time is spent working on projects and trying to start my company that time's hard to come by.
Finished Evangelion and so I decided to give Black Rock Shooter a try because a lot of people that also like Madoka recommended it to me. What a nice surprise!

I have to admit, its no Madoka Magica. But its still surprisingly good, like watching Madoka with less cohesive storyline and bland music but with far more impressive graphics.
Then again, Madoka Magica had 12 episode while BRS only had 8. That's a world of difference and if they had more resources and episodes I think they could have made it big time and be remembered as a masterpiece rather than the less than good reviews I've seen.
BRS tells the story of Mato Kuroi, a naive and energetic girl (Sayaka? Is that you?) that tries to befried Yomi Takanashi, a shy and troubled girl on her class. Meanwhile there's another world that represents the emotional states of the girls (why no boys though? We have feels too!) and where Mato's alterego, the very cool Black Rock Shooter fights.
The concept of pain was interesting and the Otherworld is beautifully rendered in 3D. Its a lot like Madoka's witch barriers if they had been animated by Ufotable.
My favorite part was the tale of the Little Bird. Its really emotional and teaches a good concept.
Now the bad part was how the drama and the plot was handled. It felt rushed at parts while others seemed to last forever. Also the girl's emotional unstability, while interesting (reminds me of Higurashi somewhat...) wasn't that well handled, with them doing things that sometimes don't make sense or blowing them out of proportion.
Also adults are useless...
So my hopes are that one day in the future someone dares to create a remake of Black Rock Shooter, preferably someone that has a good grasp of the story like Gen Urobuchi (and he would teach those girls what real pain means...LOL). If they progressed the plot well enough and kept the graphics it could seriously be a masterpiece.
But enough of that, gotta watch SAO and Attack on Titan so that my friends stop egging me to and hoping to get to watch Stein's Gate afterwards!

3.-CREATING MADOKA: SUPERIOR AND ANOTHER REBELLION.
I'm a huge Madoka Magica fan, also I'm trying to learn how to make art like the professionals. From drawing to making good AMV's and animations. That's why I decided to combine those two obsessions to make Madoka: Superior which is a remake of the first two Madoka Movies. Basically I'm mixing the best scenes from both the movies and the series to get a final product that is more pleasing than they can be individually.
I'm almost finished with mixing the clips (currently on episode 10) and will proceed to add Spanish subs to share the despair with my family and friends :P
Yeah it sucks to be the only one with knowledge of English but whatever...
I'm also working on vocal extraction to add some of the movie music with the Blu Ray dialogues as some of the voices sound more "fake" in the movie version. I believe its because the seyuu already knew the story and thus they lack the "shock" factor of the originals, or they tried to get it different and the result wasn't that great.
And Madoka: Another Rebellion is a doujin I'm trying to make where I will reconcile the events of the series with Rebellion, fixing what I couldn't stand from the Rebellion movie and filling in what happened while Homura was busy fighting in Madokami's world.

For that I'll be using what I read from:http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnime/comments/1wrc4k/rebel_with_a_misguided_cause_how_madoka_magica/

and feedback from the fans, at least those I know about.
For inspiration I'm drawing from a wide trove of knowledge, from the series, the mangas that have been released, literature (Faust Part I and II, Hamlet, Midsummer's Night Dream), Watchmen by Alan Moore, the Endless by Neil Gaiman etcetera.
So yeah, a lot to get done, heheh.
