See you guys around.

Hey guys! It's been a while I've been on here. Things been going on here and there but I'm still here none the less, once a while browsing. Though it has been quite sometime since I've actually posted anything here up. Well I'll take of some main points to get you all up on to speed. If You haven't noticed from previous journals from a long time ago, I started getting back into Hetalia. I wasn't into at first but it's start to warm my heart in entertainment, especially the fan made gaming section of the fandom. So through that I've come to like Hetalia again and some of there characters, mostly cause it makes me think of people I know or the places i've been and make me think about putting such stereotypes or troupes into one person and makes for amusing ideas. So I've been taking part in several meet ups up. During those times, I've also been taking care of my health. Now I'm sure some have already known my health isn't the complete greatest in me but I've been getting better, been losing a lot of weight (in a good healthy way I promise) and taking the chance in more activities outside my house like walking out more hanging out friends and once in a while join my friends and Nerf Zombie war near my home and shoot the crap out of each other. So that's been going on, and I've nearly done with school, granted I need to pass my math classes but otherwise I'm almost done. That opens a bit of my time to take the chance in job hunting as well as future plans and projects, mainly taking care of cosplay commissions and setting up photo shoots with other friends and taking part in more DND campaigns. (can't get enough beating down angels and minions in the morning) Then there's the possibility of opening a new little business I want to try in getting and working on future stuff with and so on. Now Oth than those, I've been traveling a lot these past few months! It's almost surprised me that I've been traveling so much this summer it almost baffles me on how this all came down. Well let's start more close to home. 

I'm doing a HetaOni stream on Justin.tv for the Hetalia group I'm a part of. feel free to join in if you're looking for something interesting to watch, or maybe like Hetalia! Currently we're waiting for more people. See you there!

So I've been meaning to do this for a while but I felt that i don't think I can draw out all the answers cause my answers tend to be long and slightly complex. (most answers) And I don't feel that summing them up will do them justice. So warning: there will be spoilers!

1. Hello there BP Fan! This is NOT the usual "introduce yourself" question. In fact, I'm asking you; How did you get into Brave Police?

Three to four years ago, I saw fan art of it by JinoSan / BloodyChaser  and I got curious. So I looked it up along with other Brave/Yuusha  shows by Sunrise and Kunio Okawara, the mechanical designer. This started my run of classic mecha and old classic anime. I of course found Brave Police and fell in love with the stories, characters, and design of the show and it became on of my favorite animes.

2. Interesting! ^^ Do you have any favorite character (Either BP, Human, or even Villain)?

My all time favorite character is Kagerou. His design as a character really takes my interest greatly. His background, personality, and design is really cool and so interesting despite the amount of screen time he had.

I can't say weather i have a favorite BP at all because it seems unfair, only because I just love all of them. They are all very charming and interesting in their own way, design wise just fits so perfectly, their story as characters just seemed to work out so well. However if i were to really have to choose one, it would be a tie between deckered, Shadowmaru, and Gunmax. Deckered is quite obvious, he's a popular character and he is very likeable, he has flaws he tries hard and meshes well with his community and friends. overall he's a well rounded character. Shadowmaru probably won because of his relationship with Kagerou. He obviously misses him greatly but he still gets the job done and doesn't mind to work with his peers. Also i find the fact there are so many funny scenes with him despite being the very "cool and has dark BG" type of person. He's just a show off and it's hilarious. XD Gunmax is because it seems that in many Kunio Okawara/Brave Yuusha animes there needs to be the obligatory "yankee" or rebel in the band of good guys and my god Gunmax fits so well. I find it really funny what he does but at the same time he's really bad ass. Also I had to admit, I had a crush on the voice. Overall he's just a ball of fun.

My Favorite Human in the series is actually Azuma. now I know a lot of fans will start arguing/saying, "Are you kidding?! He's a jerk! He kept trying to get rid of Yuuta and belittles the BP!" My answer to that; well too bad cause to be honest I think he has a pretty damn good reason why he would do those things. I can understand why Azuma would do those things because he's really concerned about this whole thing about a kid commanding super intelligent robots. As part of the police force/committee you really have to take in what you think is good for the greater good of citizens. What I'm saying he's level headed and just thinking about the people they are trying to protect. In fact I think he's the only normal and level headed character among the good guys. Azuma is against Yuuta being the chief of BP because he's a kid. Who wouldn't be worried about that? it'd be smarter to get someone very experienced. The BP have personalities would be rather worrying too cause he doesn't know how they'll act. A lot can go wrong. Besides he get's over it. "What about the times he yelled at the BP?" Obvious. The police have a  reputation to hold up to the public. The public has to trust the police in order to cooperate with them when an emergency occurs. add Mechas to the case and it get's weird to average normal person. EVEN after that where he seems stern and "doubtful" of the BP, he at least trusts them and tries to keep them on their toes and be prepared to serve the public. Azuma is not a jerk and if yous still don't believe me, then keep this in mind. If Azuma was a jerk, then he wouldn't have a best friend like Shinjo Ken. When he finds out that Shinjo Ken is up to no good, Azuma debates to rat out his best friend and you know what, he chooses the BP over his best friend. That there is trust.

Runners up to that is Toudou Shunske. I guess I like elderly men with a old fashion personality. I feel like If I ever met Todou, I can learn a lot from him and I really do like people who love what they do and will make sure they do the best job they could. He has a lot of passion and he's responsible.

Now my favorite villain is, in fact, Shinjo Ken. Shinjo ken is, what I think to be the most interesting villain and proably ranks as a favorite villain overall. Reason is because he's given a motive. He's ill and he knows that this will shorten his life. he obviously wants to live, or at least make a legacy for himself so he decides to make a copy of himself, but the only thing that would do is a Super AI. Something that HE in fact technically made because he was the one who helped create the BP. So it only fitted so well. Why Kageoru? because he was going to be reformatted anyway, so why not? what makes him also interesting is what happens to him afterwards. the kind of character he's become after the the incident of his crimes. After witnessing what happened to his "copy" and how it reacted he was traumatized of the results and now understands how S-AIs work. He was the very first to realize how "human" they've become or have the potential to being more while others even the good guys have to realize this. This line of dialogue with him and Regina was just amazing to me. You wouldn't think much at first but I felt that this was rather brilliant.

Regina: "I want to know how to rid Super A.I. of all evil"
Shinjo: "Erase all evil...?"
*flash back*
Victim: " I want to remove all traces of goodness from my Chieftains' Super A.I. and replace it with pure evil."
Shinjo: Didn't you hear what I said?! I said I will not work with you! *get's punched*
Victim: Bastard!...You will regret that. I will make sure of that!
*end of Flash back*
Shinjo: *smiles* "It is not possible."
Regina: "eh? But.."
Shinjo: "Officer, we're done." *gets up to leave*
Regina: "Wait! I'm not finished with you yet!
Shinjo: *turns* "ma'am, is it possible to purge the evil from man and make him all good?" *leaves the room*

That part makes me love this character so much. He's complex and he more than just a villain in this series. he's the one who knows what's going on the most while the others are still trying to figure it all out.

Runners up to the favorite villain is Eva Fahzeurg and her son. She is the creator of all technology post BP. all technology including the BP were of all her inventions earning her name, Mother of Technology. It was until she decided to try attempt to create the world's first S-AI  by means of human test subject and was arrested for this. However to keep alive or dead was bad because she was indeed someone of importance tot he world so she was cryogenically imprisoned for her crimes. When BP has accidentally brought upon the phenomena of S-AIs this outraged her son wanting revenge.  This story I find fascinating and also she is menacing and her son is the same. He knows how to make a plan and his plan was sought out by Victim and left no trace of himself. That is good planning.

3. Do you have any "non-favorite" character on the count, too?

I can't say I "hate" any characters in this series because I see most of them, like the neighbors, the kids, the sisters and parents are rather bland. Any other one time characters were the same and forgettable. If anything they at least cover some bases and help the series or story progress. If any they can be the comic relief I guess. I will point out there are annoying characters like the little girls in the group of kids and the one of the villains, A lady who steals classic and muscle cars, bugs me because of her personality/ generic character type. also her plans and motives are very weak. (She has a butler for crying out loud, she's rich, my god do you really need to steal cars and sell them/ collect them? Just buy them in working condition! They sell better that way!)

4. Someone you really wish to see DEAD?

Can't say too much on this one. Again I can't say who needs to die or who is "hate" because I don't have a strong enough reason to say why I hate a character. Even if they hurt a character I like or mistreat them, it's not a good reason to me. I guess for the person who I want half dead is the Car stealing lady cause she's just the weakest out of all of the villains. she annoys me and her motives and plans are just plain stupid even for a children's cartoon.

5. If you happened to meet a BP in real life,, what would your reaction be like?

I'd shit bricks and internally squeal but I don't want to bother them with that. In fact I'd feel a little intimidated. However I would like to say hi to them at least and tell them how much of a good job they do and thanking them for making the world just a little more peaceful. it would be a bonus if I could get a conversation with them and a picture but I woudl imagine them to be working so I wouldn't be delaying them with just that.

6. That was crazy!! XD Now on a personal thought: what are your considerations about Regina "Lady" Argine? (Please don't let Duke know about this! <.< )

I really like Regina and I can't seem to understand why people have to hate so much on Regina so much. I mean there is a reason why she acted like she did. It annoys me a bit how I read another person's rant on how they hate Regina for actions she did but don't seem to realize the reasoning behind that. Regina acted the way she did because she is a logical person who believes good is good and evil is evil and she strictly believes this because she couldn't understand the actions of her parents choices of good and bad and is scarred by that till current time. I'm pretty sure I'd be fucked up about it when being like 4-5 and having my mom commit a crime and is confronted by my dad, a police man along with his men, then decides to go against the law the representation of good, and shoots his team mates in order to save his wife and run off with me to avoid danger. There is a very mixed moral here and being 4-5 I doubt you'll be able to understand that for a while, even for a teen like Regina. She's not a bad person or a bad character, she's morally torn and she doesn't want Duke to be the same and neither does she feel that any S-AI should be, feeling it would jeopardize many lives. To me she's a really good character. In fact I would place her third in my favorite human characters in this series for such an interesting character. You don't see this many character who is this torn between morals. After that whole drama she's a great supporting character and she learned her lesson greatly and takes it to heart.

I'm really baffled by Regina bashers....

7. Is there any scenes you will never, ever get tired to watch?

Hell yes.

1. The scene with Regina and Shinjo about S-AIs.
2. The ending to Mini BPs
3. The reaction to "Tomonaga Yuuko"
4. BP dressed as the Gatchamen
5. Saejima and Deckered dressed in Uniforms.
6. The infiltration scenes in the Hourglass.
7. ghosts....ghosts everywhere...

8. Is there any scene you wish they never ever shown?

Instead of a scene, I think we could have gone without two episodes of recaps of episodes of before. The first was funny because of Saejima being hilarious. the other was ok, and showed really good parts of Regina and how things are in Scotland Yard. If anything I think combining the episodes would make it really great.

9. Is there a scene you find Sad/Depressing?

Yes. in fact there are many of them in this show. My god the feels you get from them... I could name so many but I have to say the most gut wrenching was from the very first episode. I mean it's the first freakin' episode!!! How do you do that?! With such a short amount of time you're given so much about the relationship of a innocent boy and mecha he meets and over time grow a strong relationship. Then just like that the  relationship has to end right there because of Deckered's duty. Yuuta understands that Deckered must up hold his duty for the greater good of the people and keep everyone safe, despite being extremely dangerous, so Yuuta, despite not wanting to let go his friend, gives up and agrees with him but stays with him to the very end when they format him and says good bye.

FIRST EPISODE. TAT

10. Do you have any OC? If so, give us a short description/quick sketch about them!

Rollcaster

Rollcaster and Torque
aznli.deviantart.com/art/BPOC-…

Rollcaster was my first BP OC and I took a long time thinking about it because I was making her around the time when I started to think more seriously of my characters and backgrounds. Rollcaster, the name first, came to me randomly when I was thinking of the game Xenosaga and the ability called "magic caster". Of course I didn't like that idea for a name but I decided to replace it with Rollcaster and temporarily named her that and now it stuck. the story I came up with with Rollcaster was based from the fad in the series of talking appliances. So I came up with a story that a third party manufacturer makes a bunch of new AIs but then get busted and arrested. However their product was already either shipped sold and or stowed away. One specific dealer his his stash in old talking appliances and sold them like that. However one of those appliances get's accidentally tossed into the dump but then picked up by a robotics college student scouting for parts for school. Once it was brought to the school and messed with, the student activated the AI and it "wakes up" and starts talking back to the students in the lab grabbing a lot of attention. They weren't quite sure what to do with "her" but they started to feel bad at the though of turning her off and later they realized they sort have brought a fondness to the AI, they dubbed Rollcaster.  So they pitched in materials and money together and built her a body to walk around in but they soon realized that it was probably not good that they should keep her as technically they aren't quite sure where he AI came from neither do they keep her on the grounds of the campus to live on. So they called the BP and informed them of Rollcaster and asked them to take her in sense they couldn't. With a bit of debation and discussing they agreed and would be part of BP as a "intern/cadet". She handles the cleaning and the paper work of the BP and watches the station by default. Rollcaster will only be out on the field when there needs to be someone who needs to direct people out of danger or act as a rare partner in a case. The only reason why I say "rare" is because of her design. I wanted to show that Roll was indeed made by a bunch of college students so her parts are rather either cheap or some times mismatching. Two traits that make it distinctive is her optics, which are two different shades of blue, as if they couldn't find the right ones, and then her height. Compared to a averaged size  BP/Mech, she's very short. probably even a head shorter then Drillboy let's say. Roll's personality is rather conservative and naive but she's very obedient to the "elders" sense they seemed to know more than she does. She really likes cleaning, probably a trait she got from being stuck in a appliance, which makes her job rather enjoyable in the station.

The other character is Tourque. I made her around the same time as Rollcaster and I felt that I was running out of ideas on her as she turned out to be a copy of a TF OC Copperbeat. However after RPing with her with my friend PerceptorsFembot I've kinda got a set idea of how Torque works Torque is a repair bot but has a bit of an attitude. She was designed to be a partner for Toudou Shunske to make on the road or field repairs when needed. However the day before she was about to make her debut she left the bunker she was kept in and went off around her own out of boredom. When they found that Torque dissapeared they all went to look for her. When they thought to have found her in different locations and attacked them, it turns out they were all fakes made by a man who claimed to have made the original design of Torque but he didn't get the credit for it. While most of the BP take care of the clones Gunmax goes into a junk yard to look for Torque and finds he taking a nap and listening to a radio she fixed up. He get's mad and chews her out for wandering off and he ends up in a argument with Torque. After their argument they get attacked but they took care of them and then drive back to the station before more trouble came around. Once they're back They finally introduce her properly and they investigate the guy who's making clones of Torque and where he does it. once they find the location, Torque runs out first to go and find the guy, not one to sit still, and but runs into a large group of her clones. The rest come in and see the large mass but they can't tel between who the real torque is as they all claim to be the real one. Gunmax however points out he has an idea. So he goes up to the clones and then out right insults Torque then ducks before a wrench comes flying over him. In the middle of the crowd of clones one torque jumped up and down yelling at him. Once that was fixed they trash the clones then go off together to where the villain of the story is. Gives his evil speech then gets defeated. However after the battle Torque recklessly got damaged and now can't change to vehicle mode. Deckered suggests riding with Gunmax but they both refuse. Instead Deckered then orders Torque to ride with Gunmax and Gunmax giving her a ride. So yeah thats her story. There is a fanfic story of this by my fembot but I keep it for myself. If you want to read it then I'll send it to you. I'll change her design later on sense she looks more like a clone of my OC but I'll see how that goes.

11. Now sing with me:
"Brave Police wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of...... the Decepticons!"
Yep! It's crossover time! How do you see on or more BP interacting with one or more TF?

I've actually had two favorite team ups for the longest time. First one was my obvious two favorite mechas, Kagerou and Hardhead. I always found them really awesome and bad ass and doing a lot of bad ass things together. the other one is Deckered and Nightbeat. I've seen deckered paired with Prowl a lot and I feel that it's way too obvious. The recent comics has kinda helped with my opinion as too me prowl has become a bit of a jerk to me, something of course Deckered would never be. (unless it's like SG Deckered or something) I felt Nightbeat works best cause he's a detective and Deckered is a detective. it both works and they both are diligent in their work in my opinion.

I actually have a picture somewhere of the two duos. Surprise I didn't put it up here.

12. That's all folks! Thanks for wastin-*COUGH!* taking your time to do this meme. now Tag some one and spread the word!

I'll tag...
