Yooooooooooo!! I mean, ahem, why hello there. So let’s just get this out of the way, I’m really, really excited about this post and I’m trying deperately hard to not let my hyperness andd excitement mess with this post. That being said, do you know how bloody long I’ve been waiting to do this post? Three and some weeks ago when I first started the Yearlies series fo 2013. Seriously, it took all of me to not say fuck it and mess up the order I had in mind for how this would work.
Now that I don’t have to hide my excitement. Let me start off by saying that I am an avid anime watcher. If you read my previous post, I made mentions/hinted at it. However, let me explain again. Much like gaming, anime has been a part of my life since I was a child so I hold anime on the same pedestal I do gaming, web design, and technology.
Anyway, while I do love anime and am an extremely avid watcher, 2013 anime fell a bit short to me. As it is I’m very, very picky with what I watch (is it becoming clear why anime came after gaming yet?) and I felt that 2013 had nothing but really predictable releases. You either had post-apocalyptic/dystopian, cutesy, or overly shoujo-esque type anime. While I do love post-apocalyptic/dystopian anime, after a while it gets rather boring and I’ve never been one to properly enjoy cutesy/shoujo anything (it’s a rarity). Now that’s not to say that all of the anime in 2013 fell into these categories, but there just was very few series that engaged me as much as it could have.
Despite that, I’ve managed to choose 3 of the many I watched in 2013 that just remind me of why anime is probably one of my favourite past-times: Attack on Titan, Kill La Kill, and Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle.

How long has it been since my last post? Well past a week, I suppose. I do apologise for the seemingly disappearing, but I promise that I did so for good reason. As you can see, the blog now has a new design and I find myself thoroughly enjoying the new look. It’s simple and compact and yet, it has an absolutely and dreadfully sense of allure to it that just leaves slightly in awe that I managed to create something like this. However, that is not the reasoning for this post and I’ll save the following tirade for one the upcoming posts.
Today is a bit of a unique one. I’m obviously well aware of the fact that I am terribly behind on my yearly posts, but life likes to throw me for a loop at the worst possible times. It’s absolutely ungodly and I wish I could say that this late posting will not be a problem in the future (and this is for multiple reasons aside from just life being life), but I won’t lie. So I do apologise here and now if I somehow manage to be that much of a prat that this draws out to February or March (gods above forbid that I somehow manage to stretch this until May or June).
That being said, this post is a bit of unique one because it somewhat diverts away from the topics that are considered the “norm” from my previous yearly posts as it falls under the category of gaming. That being said, this post is just as much of a Gameventures as it is a Yearlies post, so feel free to take it as you wish. I’m just categorising it primarily as a Yearlies because that’s what it is. It just so happens to be written in the form of a Gameventures review post.
So let’s jump right into this, yeah?

Yoooo! I initially wanted this post to be done and up a day or two after the first post of the yearlies but I started on a new layout and I wanted to really get that done before I either lost the motivation to do it (and would stew in unhappiness with the old layout) or I would just lose focus of what and where I was going with the layout (which I ended up doing anyway, so consider it another temporary layout). So there’s that. There’s nothing I can do about that aside from apologise for not pushing myself a bit harder, but I did want to focus on one thing at a time so that I wouldn’t mess up anything.
That being said, welcome to the second post in EXTREMIS’s 2013 Yearlies. If you didn’t read the first post and are somewhat confused, never fear. I am here to explain (not that I should, but hey.) Basically, the yearlies, obviously by the name, are a series of posts that run typically from the first week to the second week of January. In some instances, it runs a week or so longer. It’s basically a round up of all the things that I found absolutely lovely released in the previous year. They tend to be things that I feel should have a bit more attention and love than they do. In some instances, they have quite a lot of love and are extremely well known and in others, they’re not. The lists range from music to cosmetics to games to books to movies. This year, I’ll be focusing primarily on movies, games, and music as much of my year was focused around those main things. You can read the first yearlies post here.
In follow up of the previous post in this series, I’m going to this time showcase some of my favourite Korean releases of the year 2013. As there are more listed here than previously, I’m actually not going to spend too much time talking about each since doing that for four was a bit draggy, so doing it for eight would probably be dreadful. Ad I would like to point out that not all of these albums are under the Pop genre; most are, but not all.
Note: This post contains my personal opinions and no one else’s. I was in no way, shape, or form coerced nor offered any form of payment (be it monetary or whatever). This post is also not intended to change anyone's opinion nor poke fun at anyone’s opinion but rather to spark interest and possibly conversation.

Happy New Year and all that fuckery. Unlike other bloggers, I don’t spend the month of December posting a year in review and all jazz for two main reasons. The first being, December is still apart of the year we’re reviewing and it’s completely ridiculous, in my mind, to review a year that isn't complete yet. The second being, for some reasons, a lot of brands/companies and artists have a tendency to release things or offer up limited editions of their products (whatever it may be). It’s because of those two reasons that I don’t do my Year In Review posts until December comes to a complete close and January has begun. That being said, roughly the first two weeks of January will be dedicated to reviewing the year 2013.
To kick it off, I’ve decided to start off with something that I hold near and dear to my heart, music. If you couldn’t already tell, in this post, I’ll be talking about the albums of 2013 that I think that people slept on and they probably shouldn't have. For this particular post, I’ll be focusing primarily on the American/English mainstream releases.

The Blog.
Find out a little more about Waiting for June.
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” — Benjamin Franklin
Hello, there!
Welcome to Waiting for June. Waiting for June is a Lifestyle Blog that focuses predominantly on daily life shenanigans and nerd culture, but occasionally dabbles in health & beauty, food, and prattling about serious topics.
Waiting for June is the sixth iteration of the same blog with a different name and structure. The original iteration of this blog was started back in November of 2012 as a purely Beauty and Lifestyle blog under the name Monochromatics which later got abandoned and restarted under the name sumeoseo. With sumeoseo came more beauty and review based blog which quickly lost its appeal. From that point on, there were three name changes, multiple hiatuses, and two blog changes before coming to where we are now.
Throughout this journey, I've learned that this blog shouldn't be limited to what I feel fits in with what I read from other bloggers nor should I put myself in a position to compromise my integrity and the feeling of transparency that I feel should always be there. I've also learned that blogging is probably never going to be a huge source of income the way I always expected it to be. So when I finally returned back to blogging with a fresh blog and an equally fresh name, I decided to make this blog about anything that I wanted to and break the mold of trying to fit into the mold. I can only imagine where this experience is going to take me.

Hello, there!
Welcome to the little about me section of the blog. If it isn't obvious by now, I'm Mochizuki and I'm kind of pretty important here. Admittedly, Mochizuki is a nom de plume, but I digress. I'm currently somewhere in my twenty-somethings and doing that thing where I'm learning how to be a proper adult while balancing being a student and a worker. Speaking of school, I'm a Graphic Design major who's concentration is Web Design and I take my classes online. If I'm being honest here, I do everything online because of my apprehension towards too much social interaction.
I'm typically reading something, playing a video game, watching anime, or something otherwise nerdy because that's how I roll. I don't engage with people unless I'm positive there is something in common there simply because I don't want to make it weird for anyone involved. That said, the reason I originally created this blog, or rather, any of my blogging adventures, was so that I could engage with people wo share the same interests as me while simultaneously sharing my own things with people.
I'm not terribly good at about me's, so expect this to be updated sporadically in a lot of ways.

Review Policy.
A clear and concise guide on how reviews are approached and written.
This blog touches on and is dedicated to a variety of topics including: daily life, cosmetics, my journey to being a healthier me, music, books, anime, et cetera; however, a large chunk of the content found here are some form of review be they miniature reviews or full blown, in-depth reviews. Because of this, this blog has decided to implement and share it's review policy.
Please note that this policy is liable to change at any point in time, so do constantly check back before sending inquiries to kurahge@outlook.com.
- Depending on the workload and the type of product is received, at any given time, multiple products can be in queue to be reviewed.
- Depending on the product, the amount of time for a review to be posted varies. Typically, the length of time is as follows: anything health or beauty releated will take between 5 days and 1 week, books take between 3 days and 5 days, music and movie reviews take between 1 to 2 days, and most other reviews are variant depending on the situation at hand.
- Products are predominantly purchased with my own money. On the off chance that the product or prodcuts were provided to me, there is always a note at the top of post and as well as text within the post that acknowledges such. Despite being provided a product or not, the opinions are honest and valid.
- As of April 14th, 2016, there has been a change in how reviews are formatted. If working with a product that has a list of ingredients (health, beauty, cosmetics, etcetera), there will be a graphic that lists the ingredients out of respect and transparency for the readers.
- Photos for reviews, particularly health and beauty related, are unedited and provided in a clear manner to help show what results occurred (if any.)
- If at any point, a review is rushed despite being informed of and knowing the review policy of this blog, I will drop the review and pay for the product accordingly. I am a college student and a full-time worker, blogging is a bit of side project no matter how much I wish it otherwise, so my time is a bit crammed. Basically, rushing will terminate any agreement we may have unless it's valid (meaning absolutely my fault.)
