Boy Band News- 4 Member band?

I recently got the news that the boy bad NEWS is now a four member band. What is up with that???? I'm really sad!!! Ryo Nishikido and Tomohisa Yamashita left the group.......why?!?! It will never be the same without them!! I really loved it when there was six of them! T_T



According to Wikipedia (I just had to look it up), Ryo left because of schedule of problems and it made him less active with the group. He decided to continue with another band, Kanjani Eight. I am also a fan of that band! ^_^ Yamashita left because he wanted to concentrate on solo projects. Sigh.....I miss them!!!

Ryo is really hot!! >///<



Even Tomohisa.......I think I love him the most!!! Kyah~!!!! 0////0



No matter what happens, I will support them all! I love you news!!

Kibou~Yell



Arigatou~!!

Drama Fever!

First off I would like to start of with.......I'm really happy!!! Just a while ago was my first singing concert with a choir I just joined! I suck at singing but I must admit, singing with pro's are fun.

Pro's? Oh, well they are teenagers like me but they have more singing experience than me. I just started. I think I'm doing ok. Their voices are soo amazing!! I'm in total bliss when I listen to them. It makes me extremely happy! Though I can't figure out how to sing loud.......

Today it snowed!!! There was soo much and it was colder today! I was sooooo extremely very happy!! It just made my day! Don't look at me funny! I prefer the cold than the warmness......is that even a word? Oh well.
Anways, that is what I have been doing for the past few days other than tests and homework. I have a giant French unit exam on Tuesday (yay me!). I apologize for not posting in a while once again. I have no better excuse. I'm sorry! > x <



Whenever I had time I would try to watch lots of Drama's and Anime's and most of the time, I never had time to post because I just into the drama or anime. I haven't found any good anime's for me to watch so I just went for the drama's because well, I don't watch very many of them. I recently got into the Korean Drama, Warrior Baek Dong Soo. I feel really bad for not watching this drama a while ago. But I have started it now so it is all good! :D



Title: Warrior Baek Dong Soo
Type: Korean Drama
Genres: Comedy, Action, Adventure
Status: Completed
Age Rating: 16+ Older Teen

Summary: Set in the Joseon Dynasty during King Jeongjo's reign, this martial-arts fusion sageuk is centered around the events involving Crown Prince Sado's conspiracy. Warrior Baek Dong Soo was a real-life legend who created a martial arts guide in Joseon. His group who defends King Jeongjo is pitted against the mysterious organization of assassins who plot to kill the King. (wikipedia)



The storyline is really amazing!!! I feel like it started out pretty slow in the beginning. But after that, it started to get really interesting. I was really drawn to the layered storyline and awesome action! It really inspires me to learn some Karate. But I'm not that coridinated to do Karate. I would probably get myself killed trying kick someone.

The bonds between the characters are so touching. I always find myself crying when one of the characters are like at the brink of death. Especially when his/her friend is crying for them. I just have this emotional attactment with the characters! They are amazing actors!



The actors are extremely hot!!! I really love this one character, Yeo Woon, whenever he shows up and shows off his sweet fighting skills...I practically die!! >/// x ///<   I love you~!!!

Summary: Yang Eun Bi is a college student studying to become a teacher. She wants to live a normal life like everybody else. Marry a nice guy and get a stable job and live in a nice house. Unfortunately for her, its not that easy.

She has a pretty bad temper and she can't seem to pass the exam......and this year she has to pass it. Or the next year is the 3rd year that she has to take it, which she thinks is a bad luck year. Thanks to a fortune teller, whoever she kisses will be her "destined" partner. That same day, she meets Cha Chi Soo, the son of the head of the biggest food corporation in Korea. Due to events, he almost kisses her.

After meeting him again, she assumes that he is wayy older than her. But that isn't true. She goes to a high school and she becomes a teacher (ish.....I forgot what she was doing but I know she was some kind of assistant teacher or temporary teacher of some sort). She meets Cha again. This time she asks him if he can go out with her.

After her first class, tt turns out that he is a high school student. Great.



At first, I thought Eun Bi was just completely nuts. I didn't really like her character at the beginning but as the story kept going, her character developed a bit and it made love her right away. She is really cool when she plays volleyball and her temper just makes most of her. She is really interesting.

I really love the storyline! It's great! I thought that after the first 5 episodes were like, "meh" to me but certain parts had its great times. After the episode 5, it was just amazing. I'm really mad that this drama is ongoing and the episodes don't seem to be coming out fast enough!! > x <



I really love the guys in this drama! Cha Chi Soo and Choi Kang Hyuk are just soooo funny!! They are total players when you first see them. Plus, they are really hot!! *Dies* Why does Korean guys have to really hot?!?

I feel pretty bad that I haven't watched this drama a while ago. It is really amazing!! I just watched the first episode (I know that is pretty sad) and I fell in love with it. The storyline is different. Art is involved and I really love art. I also really love gender benders. I have nothing much to say but you have to watch it! You will not regret it!!! I feel like there is alot that will be going on after the first episode. You have to watch it!!

Arigatou~!!  

Happy Halloween!!

I know Halloween in Canada was yesterday but I didn't have time to post yesterday! Man this month is going pretty fast. I can't believe it's November already......that means a month or so until my birthday!



Guess what??! For the first time in my life (I think), I went trick or treating!!! I had sooo much fun!!! I know, I have no life but my parents don't like Halloween but this year, they let it go. My siblings were pretty psyched. I didn't dress up but my siblings did. They went as pirates. I was "supervising" them and I ended up trick or treating wih them. I got my own big pillowcase full of candy. I was really happy about that! Heheh......chocolate....... (drools)



At my school yesterday, there were pretty interesting costumes. One teacher dressed as a lego person. His costume was made out of card board and I'm kicking myself because I didn't take a picture of it. But it kinda looked this.



His outfit was painted Black and green to match what he was wearing. I'd say, it was probably my favorite costume this year.

Also my best friend's costume was pretty downright awesome. She dressed up as the MC from some musical. I forgot what it was called. She had this sweet suit with tails (I love tails!), a sweet hat and a cane! I loved it!! Her makeup was really cool too!!! > x <

I didn't dress up of course and I wore normal clothes that day but my friends kept calling me Kirby because I wore a pink sweater and jeans. I am not Kirby!! I'm not fat!!! But I am cute. Haha!

I know I haven't been posting very often but I have my reasons (argh, school). I practically live in my room (that is really true) studying for some test, taking a nap from the lack of sleep, reading a novel that has to be read for school or........doing homework and some other stuff. I don't have time to read manga or watch very much anime. I'm sad and a failure for an otaku!!

*Ahem*.....That aside, other than school getting into my way, I somehow manage to get some time to read manga and watch anime. I think staying up late watching Hikaru no Go is the reason why I'm tired today......(shrugs shoulders). Or maybe just studying for another science test. I have so many of those. I hate science.....

It also snowed for a bit yesterday!! I love snow!!! I wish it would snow tomorrow.....

What is wrong with being an Otaku? Geez.

Anyways, I have running been around and debating on watching the anime for so long. I know Hikaru no Go has been around for a long time and I am one of those people who hasn't watched it yet. If you are surprised, please don't look like that. (If not, just skip this part) I bet there are some people in the world who haven't heard of Naruto, Bleach, Inuyahsa and some other popular manga's in the world. It's true! I met a person who- wait a second.......no that's a lie. Nevermind. Just ignore that last comment.



Have you met people who have heard of the manga/anime and never read/watched it? Well, I'm that type of person. I have heard of Gintama and +Blood but I have never read the manga or watched the anime. There are quite a bit of them but I won't go on. The list may be endless. Most of the time, out of a whim, I would try to watch the anime or read the manga.



Title: Hikaru no Go
Author: (Story) Yumi Hotta and (Art) Takeshi Obata (Artist of Bakuman and Death Note)
Genres: Shonen, Fantasy, Comedy, School life, Supernatural

Summary: (mangareader.net) After stumbling across a haunted Go board, irresponsible Hikaru Shindo discovers that the spirit of a master player has taken up residence in his consciousness. In his pursuit of the Divine Move, Fujiwara-no-Sai awakens in Hikaru an untapped interest and genius for the game, and soon the schoolboy is chasing his own dream--defeating the famed Go prodigy Akira Toya!



I just love the anime! I just started on two (or a couple? I lost track) Sundays ago (I stayed up until 2 am, no joke) and I'm currently on epsiode 14, 15......around there. If you think that isn't alot, I watched that many on Sunday. I had sooo much homework. I'll let you think for a second on how much 14-15 episodes on Sunday was well, good and bad in a way.

Try watching an anime while studying for a science test. Pretty Hard. Staying up until 2 am. Pretty late for me.



Anyways, I'm really addicted!

So far (I'm at like episode 16), I think that the anime has so much potential, inspiration, comedy and a whole bunch of things! I'm really in love with the art. I think it's really cool!! It gets better and better! I couldn't believe that the artist was Takeshi Obata. I was like, "Your my hero!" I really love his art alot!

I was looking at some video's and images of Hikaru no Go and I spotted older Hikaru!!!
Oh. My. Gosh.

The man is hot. He may look pretty average but he is not too bad. Too be honest, when I saw the picture, it partly made me decide to watch the anime until the very end. I know, I'm weird. Also the storyline partly also made me want to watch the anime until the very end.

The storyline is really interesting and unique. I'm really intrigued by the game of Go. Of course I have never heard of the japanese game Go until this anime. I wanted to know alot more about Go so I kept watching.



The game Go is really interesting. I'm slowly getting what the characters are sorta doing but most of time, I have no clue what the heck they are doing. The game is pretty confusing......but I just go with it and pretend that I know how they are playing the game for now.

Summary: (from Tokyopop) Wonderland is offically at war! And Alice is trapped in the middle of it all. Will she make it out alive? A little arrogant, stubborn, and determined to get back home, Alice isn't fazed by these challenges....until she discovers that every man is gun crazy and weirdly in love with her. What's going on in Wonderland?!



First of all, I got intrigued by the art and two, the part where it said guns I was like, "I'm going to try it". I am pretty a violent person. Also the part where it said, Wonderland really wanted me to read it. I'm really fond of the story of Alice in Wonderland. I was pretty excited when I heard there was a manga form of it. Also there's a movie!! WAH! I'm going to totally watch it!! > o <

The story is quite interesting. I sorta had a feeling like there would be some kind of reverse harem in this manga. I get pretty freaked out when the guys are like in love with her. I get curious why because usually guys you just meet never fall in love with you in an instant. I can understand if only one guy would but a whole bunch? That's pushin it. In total (I'm estimating) the girl meets about 7-10 guys and they happen to fall in love with her.

Anyways, I really do recommend this manga if you like the mix of violence and romance.

The art is really good!!! I'm in love with the guys (of course) and the clothes, I really love! I love to use it as a reference when I draw clothes.

Arigatou~!!

Anime of the week: Hanasakeru Seishounen

There is a manga but I haven't read it yet. It was made around 1987......I think? Whatever. (Looks it up on google again) Oh, it is!

The story is really amazing and the art for the anime is really beautiful. The guys are true hotties! No joke! I practically start drooling whenever I see the 4 main guys. They are soo hot~!!!

LOOK!! LOOK!!!!





Rumanty........I want you!!! > o <

Since I have no time......I'll make this really quick. The story line is really interesting and unique. Oh, I forgot amazing too! Character developement is not to slow or quick and I can't help but scream at characters because I just them to much. There are quite a bit of twists and.......ah!!!!...I forgot what I was going to say because I'm getting excited again.

Arigatou~!!

Thanksgiving and New animes this fall (just scroll down)

I finally have time to post! Thanksgiving weekend is finished and I have tons of things I am thankful for. Friends, family, manga, anime......hot guys (haha), Arina Tanemura, Food (of course) Sailor moon, Art, Music, the talent I have with drawing, a nice bed I sleep on, stuff animals.....what else? I would say the list would go on.

Anyways, if you don't know what Thanksgiving is, I'll give you a quick explanation.

Thanksgiving is basically a holiday where you give thanks for the things you are thankful for. Plus, you get to gather with friends and family and eat turkey and a whole bunch of food! That is my favorite part of thanksgiving. The food is just amazing.....(drools)......I'm hungry again!! ^_^
Since it is was a holiday, I finally have time to watch more anime and read more manga! Stupid homework.....I'll do them later.....

Summary: (animeseason.com) Second year student Naoe Yamato's and his precious comrades are present here at Kawakami Academy. This group of four boys and three girls have been together through thick and thin since their earliest years. Now, their ranks are about to swell with the addition of another two members, and things will become livelier than before. This is especially so seeing as how all the girls are superb fighters for whom blood and violence is a daily occurrence

One word: Fanservice. There are just many girls with over sized melon breasts. It's really irritating. Seriously, pervertness has its limits. I don't know how I ended up watching the anime.

I must admit it was actually interesting. It started out with some kind of fighting scene with tons of people with red and blue banners of some sort. It intrigued me so I decided to watch it. The fighting scenes are really cool and quite entertaining despite the fact the story is quite vague. I didn't really know what was going on. All I knew there was romance between two people and the school was having some kind of event. A battle thing. Imagine if schools had events like the one in this anime......if you watched the anime you would know what I would be talking about.

The art is...........ok. Just forget the big huge melon boobs. It is really scary. Why do they even make girls like that?! I just don't know what else to say. I should just stop ranting for now.....

Summary: Continuation of Season 1.

Onodera Ritsu, a 25 year old who works in the Shojo manga department as an Editor. He has no experience with manga and to make things harder, he has met his first love from high school who he left due to an misunderstading.

The problem is his first love is the editor in cheif, Takano Masamune. They start out on the wrong foot and Takano says that he will make Onodera say that he will love him again.

Will that happen?



I really love the story line! I am really happy that they made a second season. I am not much for Shonen Ai but this anime made me think twice (read my post here about that). This anime makes my heart throb for Onodera and I am almost to tears when I watch the anime or when I read the manga (yes, I read the manga).



Title: Chihayafuru
Genres: School life, Slice of life, Josei

Age Rating: 13+ Teen

Summary: (animeseason.com) After her sister becomes a top model, 6th-year grade-schooler Ayase Chihaya too dreams of becoming one. However, transfer student Wataya Arata admonishes her to seek her own dream. Thus, she takes up karuta, a Japanese card game, competitively. Together with Arata and Mashima Taichi, Chihaya's childhood friend, they have great fun playing each other, but separate after graduation. Four years later, Chihaya returns to town. Although Arata no longer plays the game, she believes that they will eventually reunite as long as she continues karuta. Together with Taichi, she establishes the Zuisawa High-school Karuta Club.



The story is really good. I enjoy it alot. I learned many things. I don't know how to explain it.....the story makes me feel refreshed and inspired. I just watched the first episode and currently watching the second (I'm getting pissed at Taichi right now) and the characters are just a bit unique and different from characters I seen before. Chihaya is beautiful, a tomboy and strong willed. She is not a extreme tomboy. It would kinda ruin the anime. Taichi.....I can totally tell he wants her. I don't really now much about him because I don't want to base it all on half of the first and whole second episode. He seems like a coward and a bully in them. Wataya is really awesome!

The art is really really really awesome! It is really amazing!! Chihaya is really cute! Especially when she had short hair......anyways! Her personality is not very irritating and she seems very normal. Taichi is just hot.........I can totally tell he likes Chihaya.

I just found out....there's a manga! Man, I'm slow. :D

Hunter x Hunter (2011) and Original

I just recently watched Hunter x Hunter (2011) and I really like it alot! It got me to watch the original anime. I wanted to see if the original was better or worse. I'm not really sure if I like the original or the remake more.......I love them both! I just got into them both and I think the remake is better in quality but the original is really amazing storyline wise. The remake skips parts. I think that's just me considering there is only one episode of Hunter x Hunter (2011) but I guess I have to wait for the second episode and wait and see. Why can't it come out faster?!

The remake of Hunter x Hunter has completely new voice actors and everything! The director decided to start from the beginning of the story instead of starting from the ending of the OVA. The quality is just great and I feel like it drew me in naturally. I really have nothing else to say........I really enjoyed it very much!

I just question why they decided to remake it.........oh well! The original was amazing and lots of people seemed to enjoy it so I don't blame them for making another one!

I LOVE THE STORYLINE AND ART!!!!!

Do you get it? I think so.....

Anyways, the plot is out of this world. I have never read anything like it. There are times when it surprises me and I never expected the story to turn that way. The character developments.....friendship developments and the fun I get when I watch it all happen. I am truly amazed by the storyline. I just love it!



The art is so good too! It makes me really happy. I know it doesn't seem all amazing (I'm not going to lie) but it does get better and plus its a Shonen style.

By the way.....Killua is hot!!!



Arigatou~!!
