Final Fantasy XIII

 Final Fantasy XIII

Inti cerita Final Fantasy XIII mengisahkan pada tiga belas abad yang lalu di dunia FF XIII, dimana zaman fantasy dan teknologi telah ada, Dan di dunia tersebut terdiri dari dua tempat yang berbeda, yakni Cocoan dan Pulse. Cocoan merupakan tempat tinggal ras manusia yang melayang di udara. Dan tempat ini diciptakan oleh sebuah kristal yang superkuat, yang digunakan Fal’Cie (sebuah ras yang bukan dari ras manusia). Namun, seiring waktu berputar, manusia mulai khawatir dengan keselamatan tempat mereka dari ancaman dunia bawah, yang dihuni oleh para monster raksasa, serangga, mutan, dsb. Tempat tersebut dinamakan Pulse

Gejala kekhawatiran manusia ini mulai bermunculan, saat beberapa manusia mulai tertular virus yang diyakini berasal dari Pulse. Maka kelompok Holy Government of Cocoon mengkarantina manusia yang telah tertular. Melihat kecemasan dan kekhawatiran para penghuni Cocoan, Fal’Cie mengutus seorang wanita yang merupakan mantan prajurit terlatih, yang bernama Lightning untuk mengemban tugas menyelidiki kejadian ini.

ff13_3Dan Lightning merupakan tokoh utama di sekuel ini. Walau dari fisiknya dia terlihat seperti wanita yang manis, tapi dia memiliki kemampuan bertarung yang cukup hebat. Dengan dipersenjatai sebuah pedang unik yang dapat berubah bentuk menjadi sebuah senapan mematikan.

Gameplay di sekuel Final fantasy XIII ini hampir mirip dengan sekuel Final Fantasy dan judul game RPG lainnya yang masih di satu atap produksi Square Soft. Di dungeon, saat karakter bertemu dengan musuh, maka di atas kepala musuh akan muncul ikon. Kalau kedua belah pihak saling berdekatan maka pertempuran pun dimulai. Pemain juga dapat menyerang musuh disaat mereka lengah, dengan mendekatinya dari arah belakang. Kondisi ini membuat pertahanan (defense) musuh menjadi lemah. Perpindahan dari layar eksplorasi ke layar pertempuran didesain dengan cepat dengan sudut kamera yang pintar. Dan waktu pertarungan berakhir, maka dilayar akan menyajikan hasil pertarungan dan rangking yang ditandai dengan jumlah bintang, mulai dari satu hingga lima.

ff13_2Untuk sistem pertarungan Final Fantasy XIII masih menggunakan sistem pertarungan RPG klasik yakni menyajikan barisan perintah aksi yang berbeda untuk masing – masing karakter, seperti menyerang, bertahan, mengunakan item, mensummon monster, mengunakan ilmu sihir, dan sebagainya. Disamping itu, sistem ATB (Active Time Battle) juga bakal ditemukan dalam sekuel ini. Secara keseluruhan, system pertarungannya boleh dikatakan hampir mirip dengan sekuel Final Fantasy VIII dan judul game Chrono Cross. Pertarungan disekuel ini juga dipoles agar berjalan dengan halus dan cepat, sehingga pemain merasa sedang menonton animasi.

Selain menelusuri quest utama dan quest sekunder, yang menjadi keasikan tersendiri dalam setiap sekuel game Final Fantasy adalah menjelajahi setiap sudut peta ataupun dungeon untuk mencari peti harta karun yang mungkin saja berisi jenis item yang berkualitas bahkan sangat langka. Yah jika pemain beruntung. Namun di sekuel ini, peti harta karunnya berbentuk bola besi.

ff13_1Tokoh – tokoh dibalik pembuatan game Final Fantasy XIII masih dengan para tokoh yang sama yang membuat game Final Fantasy terdahulu, seperti Tetsuya Nomura, Nobuo Uematsu, dan sebagainya. Sebenarnya game Final Fantasy XIII hanya dirilis untuk Playstation3 saja. Namun akhir-akhir ini berita mengembirakan muncul, dimana juga bakal rilis untuk mesin Xbox360 juga.

Biasanya Final Fantasy selalu memakan waktu lebih dari 6 bulan dari versi Jepang untuk terbit versi US dan telat 6 bulan lagi untuk Eropa. Tapi kali ini Final Fantasy XIII mendapat kepastian akan terbit serentak di Eropa dan US pada 9 Maret 2010. Hanya terpaut 3 bulan sejak rilis Final Fantasy XIII versi Jepang.

Final Fantasy XIII versi english akhirnya selesai di garap oleh SQUARE ENIX, seperti yang dikatakan Motomu Toriyama : “FINAL FANTASY XIII versi luar negeri akhirnya telah selesai dikerjakan.” Dengan selesainya pengerjaan FF XIII english ini diluncurkan Trailer Internasional versi bahasa inggris yang memperlihatkan keluwesan gerakan karakter dan animasi mulut (lip sync) yang bagus.

Final Fantasy XIII International Trailer (Lagu “Kimi ga iru kara” di replace dengan “My Hands”)



Sekarang yang jadi pertanyaan, FF XIII versi english kan direncanakan untuk terbit di Xbox 360 dan PS3. Apakah ini berarti Final Fantasy XIII versi Xbox 360 juga sudah selesai dikerjakan? Untuk PC kapan ya ?

Game ini adalah game online multiplayer role-playing yang dikembangkan dan diterbitkan oleh Square Enix. Game ini akan dirilis dalam bahasa Jepang, Inggris, Perancis, dan Jerman.

Teknologi yang digunakan

Crystal Tools adalah mesin game RPG yang dibuat oleh perusahaan Jepang berbasis pengembang, Square Enix, untuk digunakan di rumah. Awalnya bernama "White Engine", ini nama dalam proses pengembangan Final Fantasy XIII dan Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Ini dibangun khusus untuk membuat game generasi ketujuh. Rencana pada mulanya digunakan untuk Playstation 2 kemudian  dialihkan untuk PS3. Tetsuya Nomura, seorang officer terkenal dari Square Enix, telah menyatakan pengalihan 'dari PS2 ke PS3 jauh lebih sulit daripada PS1 ke PS2, rintangannya jauh lebih besar.

Fitur mesin paling penting adalah kualitas video real-time. Hal ini mampu memproses audio yang canggih, cutscene sinematik tanpa batas ke transisi, efek khusus perhitungan fisika real time, dan kompleks rendering, semua kualitas mendekati bioskop. Wah....jadi seperti nyata donk?

Soundtrack

Seputar Indowebster

Indowebster

 Indowebster

IDWS atau Indowebster yang selama ini menjadi situs bagi pakai, menurut FIANZONER merupakan satu hal yang cukup membanggakan. Selain menggunakan server lokal, download berbagai macam file seperti mp3, film, foto, software apalagi menggunakan IDM. Wow... Dijamin hasilnya memuaskan. Ada juga forum yang mengulas berbagai hal yang menurut FIANZONER sangat layak dikunjungi. Forum ini bisa memecahkan masalah kita misalnya saja seputar komputer, game atau bahkan masalah sepele. Para pengunjung/anggota saling memberikan saran yang membantu. Intinya situs ini bisa menjadi suatu komunitas yang sangat penting dalam "hidup berbagi" (sesuai FIANZONER dong...) hehehe

Yang mengagetkan, pemilik Indowebster ternyata mantan hacker yang sudah tobat. Apapun tindakannya pasti memiliki alasan yang terpenting adalah pertobatannya benar-benar tulus.  Benar kan? Berikut ini FIANZONER kutip dari VIVAnews.com Semoga menjadi pelajaran berharga bagi kita....

VIVAnews - Ia tak tahu pasti sudah berapa ribu server yang telah ia jebol. Sebagai seorang peretas, Juny Maimun memang gemar sekali masuk ke server orang. Bukan untuk mengeruk keuntungan, namun sekadar untuk mempelajari source code aplikasi, atau desain sebuah database.

Itu adalah Juny Maimun yang dulu. Pria yang kerap disapa Acong itu, beberapa tahun lalu memang aktif di komunitas 'bawah tanah' AntiHackerlink. Di kalangan peretas, ia dikenal dengan nama nick 'Bagan'.

Tapi Acong sudah tobat. Ia tak mau lagi merugikan orang lain. Sebagai penganut agama Budha taat, Acong percaya betul dengan Karma. Kini, ia tengah mengembangkan bisnisnya di bidang teknologi informasi yang tengah berkembang pesat.

"Sekarang saya cuma pingin nebus dosa," kata Acong, saat diwawancara VIVAnews di Gedung Cyber, Jakarta, Rabu 17 Februari 2010. Bahkan, ia justru menyeru rekan-rekan sesama hacker yang salah jalan, untuk insaf kembali ke 'jalan yang benar'.

Pelan-pelan, pria kelahiran Bagan Siapi-api, 29 tahun lalu itu, mengajak teman-teman cracker (hacker kriminil) untuk beralih menjadi pengusaha konten, pengembang aplikasi, atau bergabung dalam proyek-proyek yang ia kerjakan.

"Apa sih yang didapat dari aktivitas hacking?" Pertanyaan itu biasanya ia lontarkan untuk menyadarkan teman sejawat peretasnya. Sebab, Acong yakin, walau kegiatan carding (menjebol kartu kredit orang lain) bisa membuahkan hasil yang sepadan dengan harga sebuah kapal pesiar, namun hasil uang panas itu akan cepat 'menguap' tak tersisa.

Kini, Acong sibuk dengan tiga proyek yang ia jalankan. Yakni, bisnis warung internet (warnet), usaha penyediaan jasa internet (ISP), dan menjalankan situs bagi pakai file, foto, dan musik: Indowebster.

Usaha warnet sudah ditekuni sejak Acong masih kuliah di New College Stamford. Dari pertama Acong hanya punya satu warnet, kini, bekerja sama dengan rekannya, ia mengoperasikan sekitar tujuh buah warnet. Selain bisnis warnet, Acong juga memiliki ISP bernama Maxindo Mitra Solusi.

Sementara Acong mulai terjun ke dunia web saat mendirikan forum khusus bagi para pecinta game, bernama Indogamers. Di forum ini, Acong juga mendorong anggota komunitas untuk tak cuma berdiskusi, tapi juga berani membuat server game.

Kemudian, sekitar 3 tahun lalu, Acong mendirikan sebuah situs bagi pakai file bernama Indofile. Dari kocek pribadinya, Acong menginvestasikan dana sekitar Rp 50 juta untuk membeli server untuk keperluan situs bagi pakai file.

Situs ini bertahan selama setahun. Hingga pada akhirnya, Acong mengubah Indofile menjadi Indowebster. Konsepnya juga mengalami perubahan. "Indowebster merupakan perpaduan dari Rapidshare, ImageShack, dan YouTube," kata Acong.

Jadi tak sekadar mengunduh dan mengunggah file, tapi pengguna juga bisa mengunggah foto dan video di Indowebster. Ke depan Acong sedang mempersiapkan sebuah strategi baru untuk memperluas layanan Indowebster, yaitu menyediakan layanan TV internet.

Uniknya, tak seperti pengusaha web lain yang mengejar profit atau keuntungan, dalam mengelola Indowebster, Acong sama sekali tak mau menarik keuntungan dari situs web ini. Sebab, hal ini terkait erat dengan filosofi yang dipegang teguh oleh Acong: Internet adalah tempat berbagi, sehingga tak sepatutnya bila sebuah situs web mengutip keuntungan.

Walaupun tak mengkomersialkan Indowebster, Acong tak pernah takut situs itu bangkrut, karena untuk membiayai operasional Indowebster, Acong mengambilnya dari berbagai keuntungan yang ia dapatkan dari bisnis ISP dan proyek-proyek yang ia kerjakan bersama tim pengembangan mereka.

"Kebaikan yang kita lakukan pasti akan membawa feedback. Semakin kita berbagi, semakin kita akan mendapatkan sesuatu. Kenapa musti takut berbagi?" kata Acong. Buktinya, kata dia, total investasi dari perangkat-perangkat yang dimiliki Indowebster, kini sudah mencapai paling tidak Rp 1,3 miliar.

Menurut Acong, praktek berbagi yang ia terapkan merupakan pengejawantahan dari prinsip Open Source. Ia sangat mendukung penyebaran ilmu atau teknologi secara terbuka dan cuma-cuma, sehingga semua orang bisa menikmatinya.

"Kalau semua orang go open source, tidak ada orang yang kelaparan. Sebab, open source membuka peluang kontribusi kepada semua orang, tidak hanya kepada orang atau kalangan tertentu saja. Dunia akan lebih sejahtera dengan open source," kata suami dari Wiwik Huang itu.

Tip berbagi dan keterbukaannya itu ternyata tidak hanya dipraktekan pada urusan bisnis semata. Acong juga menerapkannya saat berinteraksi dengan para karyawan. Ia memberikan kesempatan yang sangat besar kepada karyawan-karyawannya untuk maju.

Alim Bachtiar, 19 tahun, adalah salah satu buktinya. Empat tahun lalu, pemuda kelahiran Boyolali itu adalah juru parkir, saat pertama kali bekerja di warnet milik Acong. Namun, Alim yang 'cuma' jebolan SMP itu, kini memegang tanggung jawab menangani core routing koneksi wireless ke klien Maxindo.

"Tak selalu membutuhkan titel pendidikan yang tinggi untuk sebuah tanggung jawab yang besar. Semua orang bisa mempelajari teori, tapi pengalaman adalah sesuatu yang paling bernilai," kata Acong.

Saat diwawancara VIVAnews, Rabu 17 Februari 2010, Alim mengatakan bahwa Acong tak pernah membeda-bedakan orang berdasarkan agama, ras, etnis, dan lain-lain. Acong sering membantu menyiarkan siaran langsung sebuah acara pengajian majelis taklim, ke situs Indowebster.

Tak hanya itu, selama ia bekerja, Alim mengaku tak pernah dibentak atau mengalami perlakuan kasar dari Acong. "Saya bangga punya atasan Pak Acong," kata Alim. Tak terbatas urusan kerjaan, Acong bahkan juga kerap menjadi sasaran curhat Alim, saat ia sedang ada ma selengkapnya

Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o Shitteiru

Sakurai Yuki is a mysterious boy with a mysterious power. Right after he was born, his mother left him near an orphanage, and he was later found. Because of that event, Yuki strives for independence. He hates being a burden to anyone near him, but at the same time, he is afraid of being left alone. Moreover, ever since he can remember he had a strange ability where when he touches others, he can feel their emotion. Unable to control it, he often made insensitive blunders in the past. He later meets with a mysterious yet beautiful man who saves his life, but somehow he feels so nostalgic, like he's met him before. While death threats and his ability increasing, a man who claimed to be his older brother suddenly appears, so what will Yuki do when he learns the truth?

CHARACTERS

Main

Yuki Sakurai (Giou) (桜井(祗王)夕月 Sakurai (Giō) Yuki^?) Voiced by: Hoshi Souichirou

The bearer of Kami no Hikari (神の光 (The Light of God)^?) or "God's light". The main protagonist, and a freshman in high school. His mother left him at birth in order to protect him and he has been living in Asahi Orphanage. Sometimes, when he touches someone, he's able to read that person's emotions and see that person's past. It caused him to suffer greatly, but he has unexpectedly grown into an unyielding individual. He didn't have any recollection of his past life, but he feels an odd nostalgia for Luka, and ends up relying on him. After he leaves the orphanage, he's been referred to as "Giou Yuki." Yuki has been reincarnated many times, however this is the first time he was born male. It has been mentioned this may be a sign that things are coming to an end or that he wants to forget the past.

Zess (Luka Crosszeria) (ゼス(ルカ＝クロスゼリア) Zesu (Ruka Kurosuzeria)^?)Voiced by: Sakurai Takahiro

A young man with silver eyes and black hair who's been protecting Yuki from the shadows ever since his birth 15 years ago. Despite being a duras (a.k.a demon), he's currently acting on Giou Clan side and is recognized as a traitor by the other Duras. Although his real age is unknown, his appearance looks like that of a college student. Normally reserved and indifferent, his facial expressions softens when he's with Yuki. It was during the last war that he changed side to the Giou Clan, as he apparently made a binding "contract" with Yuki. Luka is a descendant of the "family of sinners" (Zess) and a high-grade demon (Opasts). Luka battles with a large black sword and can use powerful magic (and even summon a powerful Salamander dragon).He was once the loyal dog for the demon king and used to drink his blood, that's why he is stronger than any opasts and it's possible that he is stronger than the demon king himself. But he left his position as the loyal dog for the demon king after meeting Yuki ( Yuki when he was still a woman ) so it was during the previous battle he met Yuki and feel in love with her and so did she. The current Yuki doesn't remember being lovers with Luka but every time he sees him his heart goes pounding like crazy.

The manga suggests a bit of a darker history. Luka tells Yuki he was considered a slave because he belonged to the "sinner" clan Crosszeria, and so all the duras were intent on punishing the whole family and all it's descendants. The demon king owned Luka and as a symbol of this, put his own blood into Luka's brand that made it glow red and caused Luka great pain during the process, and years later, Luka is still haunted by the memory. Because it was a blood seal, if he should betray the demon king, then he would die, but due to making a new contract with Yuki, the previous one to the demon king was voided, which allowed him to live.

His powers seem to be the ability to speak with animals, sense people, and transform his ring into a gun during a battle. For some reason he always has snacks with him. He seems to be extremely close with his older sister Toko, whom he calls Toko-chan and says he will always protect. He was severely injured by Reiga in episode 10, but Yuki managed to heal him.

Hotsuma Renjou (蓮城焔椎真 Renjou Hotsuma^?) Voiced by: Ono Daisuke

The bearer of Kami no Koe, God's Voice. Hotsuma is one of the Zweilt guardians, and he can use fire as he likes. He is short tempered and impulsive. He has been friends with Shuusei since childhood. At first he dislikes Yuki, since he thinks that he has the same personality he had in his previous life (which may indicate that he used to be on bad terms with female Yuki), but with time it seems that he grows somewhat close to him. He was basically abandoned by his parents who labeled him a monster, and the only time they come see him is whenever they need money. Hotsuma's past was shadowed by his fire abilities, and while protecting a classmate, he ended up attacking a few of his classmates, which isolated him from everyone else. Afterwards, he attempted to kill himself, but Shuusei stopped him, giving Shuusei the burn scar. Hotsuma constantly blames himself for Shuusei's scar and is scared of hurting someone, but Yuki is able to calm him.

Shusei Usui (碓氷愁生 Usui Shusei^?) Voiced by: Miyano Mamoru

The bearer of Kami no Me, God's Eyes. Shuusei, also part of the guardians, is Hotsuma's childhood friend. He helps the police in solving crimes with his "sixth sense".

He disappears suddenly, after seeing that Hotsuma was on better terms with Yuki, stating that he has 'served his purpose' and recognizes the fact that Yuki was able to shatter Hotsuma's fears of being a monster. Then he is kidnapped by Ashley and put into a deep sleep never to wake again. Later on though, hearing Hotsuma's voice pleading for them to live together, he awakens.

Kuroto Hourai (蓬莱 黒刀 Hourai Kuroto^?) Voiced by: Kamiya Hiroshi

A professional shogi player prodigy who is very quiet and serious by nature. But, once he decides to do something he'll put full effort into doing it even if it means quitting something he loves e.g. shogi.

When he meets Yuki for the first time, he tells him that he and his father had been looking for him ever since his birth fifteen years earlier. He is also the head of the Giou clan. Although it is not yet revealed, Takashiro seems to be hiding something from Yuki and the rest of the Guardians. The truth is he preformed a forbidden ritual that allowed him to take a dura into his body. Because of this he, unlike the other Zweilt Guardians, has not been reincarnated. Instead he has lived for a thousand years, remembering everything, including how the war with duras first began. He also heals almost immediately after being injured. He believes that in order to win the war, there have to be sacrifices. He possesses a magic book much like Kanata, although his is red. It has been told that Reiga was his friend. He is also the one responsbile for continually causing Yuki and the Zwielt to reincarnate so they can continue fighting Reiga. He then apologizes for lying to Yuki, telling him that he is not really Yuki's brother, but Yuki forgives him, telling him that despite that, Takashiro is still very important to him.

Isuzu is known for passing out for various days from lack of sleep, which is caused by his sleepless and restless nights of researching the subject of duras.

He usually finds his co-workers and the rules of the restaurant to be strange, but he still has an attachment to his job. He is able to adapt quickly to his job at the restaurant. He has three older sisters and it is because of them that caused his dislike for older women as he had been tormented by them all his life. He received hand-me-downs from his sisters when he was young, giving him the appearance of a little girl. He also has a younger sister in elementary school who is almost as tall as he is. Despite his problems, Inami asks Sōta to cross-dress, using the name Kotori, when her father comes to visit her at work.

Poplar Taneshima (種島 ぽぷら Taneshima Popura^?)

Voiced by: Mai Kadowaki (drama CD), Kana Asumi (anime)

Poplar is a short 17-year-old high school student who works at Wagnaria. Ironically, she was named after the poplar tree so that she would grow tall. She is a hard worker, but she sometimes makes clumsy mistakes in her job. She is very sensitive about her small appearance; many customers usually mistake her to be younger than she really is. She often fails to gain respect from Sōta, who is one year younger than her, as he usually regards her as an elementary school student. She is also unable to properly call him by his surname, saying "Katanashi" rather than "Takanashi", even when corrected. She admires Kotori, Sōta's cross-dressing persona, and the Takanashi sisters because of how tall all of them are.

Mahiru Inami (伊波 まひる Inami Mahiru^?)

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (drama CD), Saki Fujita (anime)

Inami is a timid, 17-year-old girl who joins the rest of the employees at Wagnaria. She has androphobia and is thus terrified of men; she punches any male that comes near her. This violent behavior arises from her belief that every man is ready to attack her, but instead she is prone to violently attacking men at a moment's notice due to this fear. This androphobia was caused by her father who did not want her to eventually wed due to jealousy and thus told her that males would attack her, which ended in her fearing men since then. As she and Sōta usually share shifts, he takes the brunt of her attacks. However, she makes considerable progress with her fear of men by taking it out on Sōta; she states that she is able to be about two meters close to guys without having the urge to hit them. Though this extends to only having fairly civil conversations (often ruined by Sōta's rudeness) or if Inami launches an attack on him. She wears a hairpin in her hair, which she changes every day due to Sōta's compliment on it (according to Sōma). At first she begins to develop a crush, but later she falls in love with Sōta when he confronts her father (as Kotori) about her androphobia.

Kyōko Shirafuji (白藤 杏子 Shirafuji Kyōko^?)

Voiced by: Junko Minagawa (drama CD), Kumiko Watanabe (anime)

Kyōko is the manager of Wagnaria. She usually maintains a rather apathetic attitude about how the restaurant is run and almost never bothers to do any work herself. She is not beyond using violence to deal with unruly customers and firmly believes that employees come before the customers, as the employees are the ones doing all the work. She is 28 years old, but she becomes despondent whenever her age is mentioned. Kyōko saved Yachiyo as a little girl from bullies, which is how they met.

Yachiyo Todoroki (轟 八千代 Todoroki Yachiyo^?)

Voiced by: Shiho Kawaragi (drama CD), Eri Kitamura (anime)

Yachiyo is another employee at the restaurant and is 20 years old. She usually carries around a katana which, according to her, was made by her parents who used to be blacksmiths. Yachiyo is unaware that some of the customers, and even Sōta, are intimidated by her blade. She admires Kyōko considerably. She gets angry if anyone offers Kyōko food or tries to take her away, although is willing to allow Satō to feed her because she considers him trustworthy, much to his chagrin. Yachiyo is very close to Satō, as she has worked with him the longest and considers him her closest friend, though is unaware of his feelings for her. She is often addressed as "Chief" by Sōta.

Jun Satō (佐藤 潤 Satō Jun^?)

Voiced by: Hirofumi Nojima (drama CD), Daisuke Ono (anime)

A 20-year-old chef who works in the kitchen, Jun is a helpful but intimidating individual. He is in love with Yachiyo, though does not express it. Of course, because she is so devoted to Kyōko, she fails to recognize any hints he attempts to make. He likes to take out his anger on Poplar by messing with her or bending the truth, to which Poplar naively believes. When Sōma tries to help with Satō's development with Yachiyo, Jun unrelentingly hits him with a pan, showing that he is sensitive about his feelings for Yachiyo.

Hiroomi Sōma (相馬 博臣 Sōma Hiroomi^?)

Voiced by: Yoshinori Fujita (drama CD), Hiroshi Kamiya (anime)

Another chef who works in the kitchen, Sōma is a young man with an easygoing attitude. He often blackmails other workers to do his job for him and pass it off as a form of modesty from the other employees. He can blackmail anyone except Satō and Inami; the former usually responds to his blackmail with hitting him with a frying pan and the latter punches him even before he manages to talk to her. He is terrified of Inami's urges and is thankful for Sōta's existence in the restaurant since Inami is taking out her urges all on Sōta and not him. His biggest weakness appears to be crying girls. Moreover, Yamada has been the only person to ever backfire his blackmails, leaving him depressed.

Aoi Yamada (山田 葵 Yamada Aoi^?)

Voiced by: Kana Ueda (drama CD), Ryō Hirohashi (anime)

Aoi is a mysteriously, self-proclaimed 16-year-old girl who Otoo meets on his travels to find his missing wife. He brings her back to Wagnaria where she starts working as a waitress and lives in Wagnaria's attic. While she has great confidence in herself, during work she is an unhelpful troublemaker who gets yelled at by other staff members, especially Sōta. Since she is in training, her position among the staff is low, which she complains about. She is bad with dealing with Sōta's constant complaints about her, but she does write down some of his suggestions (along with idle complaints). She yearns for the idea of having a family, especially towards Otoo whom she sees as an ideal father figure, and goes as far as to apply to be adopted by him. She is also rather childish and does not like to (in her view) to be "left out", in that sense she goes so as far so as to ask Kyōko to drive her home (even though she "lives" at Wagnaria) or ask for Sōma to poke her, as he and Satō poked Inami and Poplar. Her favorite food is nattō.

Hyōgo Otoo (音尾 兵吾 Otoo Hyōgo^?)

Voiced by: Daiki Nakamura (drama CD), Jōji Nakata (anime)

Otoo is the top head of the restaurant. Most of the time he is away searching for his missing wife, but periodically returns to Wagnaria to check up on things and bring back souvenirs.

Maya Matsumoto (松本 麻耶 Matsumoto Maya^?)

Voiced by: Akiko Kawase

Maya is an 18-year-old glasses-wearing girl who works at Wagnaria. She professes that she is a "normal person" striving to be completely ordinary in work and life in general. She has a hard time understanding the other employees seeing how awkward all of them are and tries not to be too familiar with them. The irony is that because she tries too hard to be "normal", she ends up being pretty weird herself.

Her father is the one who, on orders from the Shogunate, developed the "ochimizu", a potion which increases the drinker's healing abilities, speed, and strength but which also possesses an unfortunate side-effect of turning the drinker into a mindless, vampiric monster. In the beginning of the series, she is seen being chased by two men, who were suddenly attacked by a rasetsu. She witnesses Hajime Saitou kill off the rasetsu and is then taken to Shinsengumi headquarters by Toshizo Hijikata where they allow her to stay, because they too were in search of her father. Chizuru herself also has a secret; she is in fact a pureblood member of the "oni-ichizoku" (the Demon Clan). Chikage Kazama is after her to make the strongest oni.

Angel Beats!

Angel Beats! takes place at a high school acting as a Purgatory, where students learn to give up any lingering attachments they still have from life beforecontinuing to an afterlife or reincarnation. While the injury or cause of death are gone, those in the afterlife school can still feel pain or other things as they did when they were alive, as well as dying again, only to awaken with no injures several minutes later. The story follows the main protagonist Otonashi, a boy who lost his memories of his life after dying. Upon awakening in the afterlife, he meets a girl named Yuri who invites him to join the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS) (死んだ世界戦線^?, lit. Afterlife War Front), an organization she founded and leads which fights against God for the cruel fates the SSS members experienced in life. Their only enemy in the world is the school's student council president Angel, a being with supernatural powers who fights against the SSS. Yuri believes that anyone who follows Angel's orders and behaves like a normal student at the school will eventually disappear and pass on. However, those who fulfill their dreams in the afterlife will pass on as well.
In the SSS, there are two sub-divisions which help in the SSS's operations against Angel. The first is a four-girl band named Girls Dead Monster whoseobjective in the SSS is to cause a diversion from other activities the SSS is engaged in, while on the surface appearing to be a normal all female band. This includes distracting Angel and a large number of "normal" students and teachers at the school Yuri deems "non-player characters" as they are not human, but look and act the part. Another organization in the SSS is the Guild, located far below the surface of the afterlife world, which serves to supply the weapons the SSS uses against Angel. Anyone in the afterlife is able to create anything out of dirt that they had memories of in life, and the Guild uses this ability to mass produce weapons.
Angel uses a similar ability to create her supernatural powers known as "guard skills", with the aid of a computer program called Angel Player. The primary one that she uses is called "hand sonic", a blade on one or both forearms that is capable of changing into five different forms. Other skills include but are not limited to: "distortion", an invisible barrier that deflects bullets or other projectiles away; "delay", which creates an after-image to disorientate an enemy in close range; and "harmonics", where a clone with a consciousness of its own is formed from the original. These abilities are activated by voicing their name; however, others like "overdrive", which gives her great physical strength, are passive and are always on.
The Guild is purposefully destroyed after Angel infiltrates the compound, but the Guild members relocate to the old Guild location, which Angel does not know about. As Otonashi begins to get used to life in the afterlife, the leader of Girls Dead Monster, Iwasawa, disappears in front of a crowd of people after a solo musical performance. The SSS find out Angel's real name is Kanade Tachibana, and after a successful operation, Kanade loses her position as student council president and the vice president Naoi succeeds her. Unlike Kanade, Naoi cracks down on the SSS and even uses powers ofhypnosis to control NPCs to fight for him. Otonashi is able to stop him after acknowledging Naoi's existence and Naoi subsequently joins the SSS. Otonashi regains his memories with the aid of Naoi's hypnosis and agrees to continue with the SSS.
With Kanade a normal student now, Otonashi befriends her and invites her to join in on SSS activities. Kanade uses one of her powers to clone herself while engaged in combat, resulting in a violent red-eyed Angel. The clone replicates itself many times, but the clones are later absorbed back into Kanade after Yuri rewrites the Angel Player program. Kanade manages to overcome the personalities of the violent clones after awakening from the ordeal. Otonashi starts cooperating with Kanade to help the other SSS members move on after he fully remembers the details of his life and death. Kanade is reinstated as student council president in accordance with their plan. Otonashi and Kanade cooperate to allow Yui to pass on by fulfilling her wishes, but it is Hinata in the end who fulfills her final wish to get married that allows her to pass on.
Mysterious shadow monsters appear and begin attacking the SSS. Takamatsu gets devoured by one, only to reappear as an NPC. Otonashi reasons with the other SSS members and many of them agree to pass on in lieu of becoming an NPC, including the rest of Girls Dead Monster, Chā, and several unnamed members. Yuri notices that the NPCs are turning into the shadows, and her investigation into who is behind this leads her back into the Guild. After receiving help from Otonashi, Kanade, Hinata and Naoi, Yuri meets a boy who tells her he was programmed to activate the shadow program when love was detected in the world. The programmer himself turned into an NPC long before. Yuri destroys the computers responsible for the shadow program. Three days after the incident, Otonashi, Yuri, Kanade, Hinata and Naoi are the only ones yet to pass on. They hold a graduation ceremony where they thank each other for their support. After Naoi, Yuri and Hinata pass on, Otonashi learns that Kanade's regret was not being able to thank him for the heart she received from Otonashi after his death. Otonashi is heartbroken after she thanks him and passes on, as he has fallen in love with her, but he too passes on shortly after. In an epilogue, Otonashi and Kanade meet again in the real world.

Kaicho wa Maid sama! (lit. The Student Council President is a Maid!)

Seika High School, once an all-boys school notorious for its wild students and for generally being a terrifying place for girls, has recently become a co-ed school. With the female population still a minority and living in fear of the over-the-top antics of the males, Misaki Ayuzawa takes it into her own hands to reform the school and allow the girls to feel safe in the rough environment.
Training, studying and even becoming the first female student council president of the school, Misaki has gained a reputation among the male students body as an uptight boy-hating dictator and as a shining hope for the teachers and fellow female students. However, despite her tough-as-nails appearance, she secretly works part-time at a maid cafe in order to support her family. Unfortunately, her hard-earned reputation is threatened when the popular, attractive, and somewhat impassive Usui Takumi takes an interest in her after discovering her in a maid uniform after school.

Eden of East

On November 22, 2010, ten missiles strike against uninhabited areas of Japan, claiming no victims. This apparent terrorist act is referred to as "Careless Monday" and disregarded by most people. The series begins three months later, with a young Japanese woman named Saki Morimi visitingWashington D.C. as part of her graduation trip. When she gets into trouble, a mysterious Japanese man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, helps her through it. The man appears to have no memory and is completely naked, carrying only a gun and a cell phone charged with 8.2 billion yen in digital money.While they are coming back to Japan, they learn that a new missile has hit their country.

Akira discovers that his phone is part of a game and that he himself is one of the participants. The game consists of twelve individuals, dubbed Seleção, who are given 10 billion yen to save Japan. The Seleção are able to use the phone operator, Juiz, to fulfill any kind of order for a price. However if the money is used up completely or for selfish purposes, the individual will be eliminated. As the series progresses, Akira discovers that one of the Seleção was the one who ordered missiles to be fired in Japan and the reason he erased his own memories was linked to Careless Monday. The same Seleção member decides to launch missiles towards Japan again but is intercepted by Akira who orders missiles to intercept the incoming missiles. Akira decides that the only way to save Japan is to lead it and uses his money to crown himself as the King of Japan and erase his own memory.
The show is ripe with symbolism, such as the use of the word johnnies and the many references to movies.

07 GHOST

Teito Klein is a former slave who now attends the Barsburg Empire's military academy due to his ability to use Zaiphon, a type of supernatural power. The ability is rare and thus highly prized. Teito is an amnesiac and doesn't remember anything of his past, but he has recurring and often traumatizing dreams in which he sees a grand church or castle and a familiar but unknown man.
After a year at the academy, Teito prepares to take the notoriously difficult graduation exam. The night before the exam, Teito and his best (and only) friend, Mikage, swear they will never abandon each other if either needs help. Both of them pass the exam. The next day, Teito hears people talking about him; stopping to listen, he suddenly realizes that the speaker, Chief of Staff Ayanami, is the person who killed the familiar man in his dreams, who is his father and the king of the destroyed Raggs Kingdom. Teito is found eavesdropping and tries to attack his father's murderer but is quickly brought down by one of Ayanami's subordinates and sent to prison. Mikage comes to help him escape, only to find that Teito has managed to fight past the guards by himself. The two flee the building but are cornered on a balcony. Teito pretends to hold Mikage hostage, threatening to kill him if the guards pursue him, and thus makes his escape, though he is wounded by a Zaiphon blast that Ayanami directs at him. Three bishops in the nearby 7th District discover the injured Teito and take him to the 7th District church to recuperate. Because of the 7th District's law of sanctuary, as long as Teito stays in the church, the army cannot arrest him.
In due time, it is discovered that Teito carries the Eye of Mikhail, a powerful talisman for which his home country, the Raggs Kingdom, was destroyed. This fact, as well as his fateful reunion with Mikage, catapults Teito into a quest for revenge against the Barsburg Empire and for knowledge about his past. At the same time, his status as the bearer of the Eye of Mikhail throws him into the long-standing conflict between the evil Verloren and his enemies, the 07 Ghosts.

Zaiphon

Zaiphon is the "magic" of 07-Ghosts's world. Zaiphon is the ability to convert life energy into various forms of power. Zaiphon is controlled by converting strong emotions into energy, and the power that comes from Zaiphon often takes the shape of words, though people may use weapons to channel Zaiphon. Those who have the ability to use Zaiphon are rare and thought to be blessed by God. Every user's capabilities are different, and in many cases, reflect their nature. Zaiphon is generally categorized into three types:

• Healing Zaiphon: People with healing Zaiphon are able to heal wounds and share or transfer their Zaiphon to others. Characters who primarily use healing Zaiphon are Labrador, Assistant Archbishop Bastien, Ouka, and Capella.
• Offensive Zaiphon: People with offensive Zaiphon can attack enemies and protect themselves from attacks directed at them. Characters who primarily use offensive Zaiphon are Teito, Mikage, Ayanami, Hakuren, Frau, and Cappella.
• Manipulation Zaiphon: People with manipulation Zaiphon (which is particularly rare) can move other objects at will. Castor uses this type of Zaiphon.

It is possible to learn to use more than one version of Zaiphon; however, people who can successfully do so are few and far between.
There is a variety of weapons used to manipulate Zaiphon, the most common being the bascule. With the bascule, people can channel their Zaiphon and use it to attack Kor. Different types of Zaiphon have different effects when used through a bascule: those with healing Zaiphon cannot directly attack a Kor, but they can restrict and remove Kor from afflicted people. Those with offensive Zaiphon can directly attack Kor.
