Yaoi Challenge Day 3: Favorite animated yaoi

Great, another hard question! > x < I already did Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi........let me pick another one! I'm so torn between one right now! It sucks to have watched/read many animes/mangas!


Just so you know, Yaoi anime are........70%-ish safe. The anime for Sekai-ichi Hatuskoi had nothing bad in it. Just kissing. I can handle kissing. When you get to the manga, there will be some....scenes. I got used to them by now so if you are just a beginner, just stick to the cute Shonen-ai stuff. I recommend Gravitation (scroll down for a manga recommendation!). Don't read the doujinshi's!!! Some Doujinshi's and Yaoi is more....intense.



This picture is an example of a doujinshi for D.gray-man. Allen and Kanda wouldn't normally do that!If you look closely, the art style is a tad different from the original. These next two are not the original! The art looks amazing though!


 


The next couple pictures are the original art for D.gray-man. See the difference?

So what are Doujinshi's? Doujinshi's are basically the fan-fiction of manga. Usually different mangaka's would draw the original manga into a story that fans might like. In the real manga of D.gray-man there is Allen and Kanda. There are yaoi fangirls who love the pairing of Allen and Kanda. So artists would make a fan-fiction or doujinshi of D.gray-man consisting the relationship of Allen and Kanda. Warning! Yaoi Doujinshi's can be really extremely intense!! Beware!!!


Ok! My runner up for favorite animated yaoi is.......Ikoku Irokoi Romantan. Or maybe Koisuru Boukun? ARGH! This sucks! I can't pick one!! > x < Both animes are really funny and sexy.......I love them!!! I also love Uraboku.......fine! I choose Uraboku to be my favorite animated yaoi! (Techinally its shonen-ai.....oh well!)
Look look! The art for Uraboku is utterly breath-taking and hot!!!! >///<



Ikoku Irokoi Romantan and Koisuru Boukun have been both adapted to OVA's and Uraboku has a full fledged anime. Hotsuma and Shusei are.......*drools* *HOT*



I will now do manga recommendations!

When the two men meet again in Italy, it is the start of a spectacular love story

Ikoku Irokoi Romantan is sooo funny and utterly sexy! The storyline was a bit different but typical. That didn't stop me from enjoying it! Ayano Yamane, I love you! > x <

One evening, Shuichi is looking over lyrics for a song he was writing when his paper is blown away by the wind and picked up by a tall, blond haired( light brown in the manga)stranger. The man dismisses Shuichi's hard work as garbage, which hurts Shuichi deeply. Despite his anger, he is intrigued by the stranger. This will be their first encounter as Shuichi becomes fascinated by the stranger, who soon turns out to be the famous romance novelist, Eiri Yuki.

This anime is just amazing! It is brilliant for encorporating music and boy romance. I love the music! The anime is really funny and great! You have to watch it!! :D :D

Arigatou~!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas and have a Happy New year!!!

I know today is boxing day but I didn't have to post on Christmas eve and Christmas. So many parties......and work. I stayed up till like, 2:00 in the morning on Christmas eve (technically it's Christmas but whatever) and partied. I ate so much.....I'm so happy! Plus my family just decided to open presents at midnight because we didn't have time in the morning. That's my Christmas for you. But I got lots and lots of manga books!!! I need a bigger book shelf.....



I can't believe it.......Christmas has come and gone........I got some great stuff this year!!! Oh! Oh!!!! I got soo many manga books from my best friend!!!! In the first package, there was all 10 volumes of Wild Ones.

I'm pretty sure that I haven't done a manga recommendation on this yet. So I will do one right now!

Summary: 15 year old Sachie Wakamura lived a normal life until her mother died. Now her grandfather suddenly shows up and takes her in. But it turns out that he is the head of a yakuza clan. Upon meeting her grandfather, she meets the ever popular Rakuto, her protector. That's right. Her protector. Sachie finds herself falling in love with him. Can she find a place in her family and get the guy at the same time?



I just love this manga!! It's so funny, heartwarming and really romantic......I actually loved the ending of the manga. It was in the middle of bad and good. It's better than most of the endings I read. The storyline is quite predictable but the manga still has a sense of originality. Sachie really does look like her mother just to point that out. I really love Rakuto's character! It's so funny and cute! Also the art is really cute! Rakuto is sooo extremely hot! :D

In the second package (I opened it at midnight of Christmas eve...) I got 1-13 volumes of D.N Angel! I'm soo happy~!!! I also got volume 12 of We Were There. I feel extremely bad because both of my best friends from up north sent packages........I got the first and I got so much manga books!!! Plus Adeah told me that she sent her package.......I feel so bad!!! Sniff....sniff......I have to pay them back!!!

Ha....ha.....dark....your so hot.....

I'm frustrated because so far volume 14 of D.N Angel (I think) came out and I need it!!! > x < Why did the manga have to go on hiatus?!?! It got really good too!!! GRR......the chapters aren't coming out fast enough!!!

I really need to. I have to recommend you guys this awesome drama!! My gosh, the korean drama, Personal taste is the funniest drama I've ever seen!!! (Well the current top one for my list). The characters are just different and storyline is......a bit different. It makes me smile so much!!
Lee Min Ho is in it!!!! >///< Kyaa!!!



Title: Personal Taste, 개인의 취향 / Kaeinui Chwihyang
Type: Korean Drama
Genres: Romance, Comedy
Age Rating: 13+ Teen
Status: Completed

Summary: (Wiki) Jeon Jin Ho is a straight guy who pretends to be gay in order to become Park Kae In's roommate. His hobbies include organization and ironing, and he’s known for his stoic poker face. He’s a stickler for cleanliness, but he also has a talent for figuring out a women’s feelings. Kae In is very trusting even though she has a habit of being betrayed. However that doesn't stop her from giving people the benefit of doubt and Jin Ho is no different. How will Kae In react when she finds out that her gay roommate is not actually gay at all and that he has fallen for her?



I JUST LOVE THIS DRAMA!!! It is soo funny!! I love this storyline!!! Reading alot of Yaoi influenced me and yeah.......the fact that he isn't gay makes me laugh so hard when Kae In thinks he is gay. I love all the misunderstandings and everything!!! For a minute they think he is gay then they don't. It's incredible!!! Lee Min Ho is such a great actor!!! >///<

Before you go, I would like you to watch this video!! It's so funny! :D

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!! ^_^ Arigatou~!!

Song Challenge Day 27! A song that you wish you could play

I wish I can play......a whole ton of songs! Most of them are from animes. Of course. Usually the most amazing songs are pretty fun (and hard) to play on the piano. I'll just name a couple.......

Futari no Kyori Ost from Shugo Chara



I don't get the time to learn these songs........or maybe I'm just plain lazy. I'm not a fan of piano (maybe) because my parents make me play it. My dad teaches it to me. Great. Its not as fun as you think. But I'm quite grateful and piano might be useful in the future anyway.

Myself from Full moon wo Sagashite

Sakura Kiss from Ouran High school Host Club

Taiyou no Rakuen ~ Promised Land from Mermaid Melody



O2 by Orange Range from Code Geass

Colors from Code Geass......its so hard to play because.....it has so many freaking sharps!!! If you know who to read music you may know what I'm talking about. I'm so jealous of those people who can use their hearing skills! They are really amazing!! 

Colors by Flow from Code Geass

Doubt and Trust by Access from D.gray-man

Ok my friends, you heard Doubt and Trust yet? It may seem easy to you but really if you look at the sheet music man, its hard to play. I'm quite amazed actual people can play this. If you are wondering, the program (as shown above) is called Synthesia. I don't know how people use this but instead of recording yourself playing the song, you get this program. I don't how to use it......so don't ask me!

Anyways, you have to hear the actual version of Doubt and Trust! Its pretty awesome! :)









I'll post more later.......I have to go to camp this week so.......see you guys next week! :D

Arigatou~!!

Song Challenge Day 6! A song that reminds you of somewhere

I love you Lavi~!!! I love his new uniform!! :D

Yay, another difficult question I have to think about! I once again listened to many songs......Oh! I found one!! I just don't know how this reminds me of somewhere, it just does. I guess listening to this song over and over again in a certain place will make you remember it. If you ask......I don't want to answer!! I'm sorry for being stubborn!! ^_^

Day 23! Anime you think had the best, or most intriguing art

To be honest, I don't know what anime has the best art. For one, I know too many and two many of them have amazing art! Full Moon? What about Shugo Chara?? Kaze no Stigma? (I'll do a recommendation on it right now) ARGG!! Since there are generally two types of manga, I'll just pick a Shojo and a Shonen with the best art. I don't want to pick just one......so don't get mad at my selections! But first I need to do a quick manga recommendation for Kaze no Stigma well because I want to. :P



Title: Kaze no Stigma, 風のスティグマ, Stigma of the Wind
Author: Takahiro Yamato (For novel and manga) and (Art) Neko Miyakai (manga)
Genres: Shonen, Romance, Comedy, Action, Slice of life, Fantasy, Supernatural

Status: Ongoing (Uncompleted because the Author died), Anime (Completed)

Summary: After being defeated by Ayano Kannagi, Kazuma Kannagi was banished because he could not use Enjutsu (炎術, Blaze Technique), the power to control Fire. The competition was to see who would be the one to wield Enraiha (炎雷覇, Blaze Lightning Supremacy), the sword is wielded by the family heir.

And so he was banished. 4 years later he returns as a master of Fūjutsu (風術, Wind Technique), the power to control wind and he changed his name to Kazuma Yagami. He meets Ayano and his younger Ren again. But he gets accused of killing his family members. Of course he wasn't the one but can he be able to prove it?



I really love this manga/anime!!! Too bad the Author died.......T_T The manga and novel is incomplete!!!! I'm soo sad!!!! WAH! May you rest in peace......Thank you for your hard work! Sniff Sniff......why did you have to die?! The story was getting good too..............anyways, The art was amazing too.......Kazuma is totally hot!!! I fell in love with the art right away!

Now, for moment you have been waiting for, the Anime I think that had the best or most intriguing art! For the Shonen category! There was a tie...............forgive me!!!! > x <

D.Gray-man



Kaze no Stigma

For one, D.Gray-man's art got better in the manga. It did change in the anime but not as much. The style changed a bit and it is sooo cool! Allen looks alot more older and mature.

Now for the Shojo! Obviously, Full moon wo sagashite!

Full Moon wo sagashite

Day 13! Cosplay of your 'waifu' or 'husbando'

I'm sorry!!! I have been very busy and I ment to go on the computer yesterday but.....I had highway clean up and I was totally dead and soaked beacause it rained. We did 14 km in total........I'm so dead. :D You know what the most weirdest thing I've found? Underwear! Its sooo messed up! It was funny though. I had someone else pick it up. ^_^

Cosplay? Hmmm................husbando.....hehe......:3 I'm not really sure.....I'll just look up some hot dude.....:D Ikuto!!!!




Its pretty obvious that the cosplayer is a girl. I would say that they did a great job! Its totally cool! Just for fun I found this awesome and jawdropping cosplay of Lavi from D.gray-man......I have never seen a great cosplayer in my whole entire life!!! He looks just like Lavi! (I hope crunchyroll would allow me to post this! If not you can go to this site!)




Arigatou~!!

Shonen Jump! Shonen Madness!! Bleach, Naruto, Black Butler.....

 

Since I've wrote about alot of Shojo animes/mangas I've decided to write about a whole ton of my favorite Shonens! Well I haven't decided which manga/anime is my favorite.........I love them all!!!

If you don't know, Shonen manga's are basically more aimed at boy's at the age of 10-18. They contain more Action, Comedy, Adventure and fun! What kind of Action? Well! The kind of Action in Jackkie Chan movies! Guns, Fighting........Maybe not but you got the idea. Each Shonen manga have their own unique and interesting story. Also you may have heard of the magazine, Shonen Jump! Its the brother, sister magazine of Shojo Beat!

For today I will start out with D.Gray-man!

Summary: 19th century England and 15 year old Exorcist, Allen Walker......I don't know how to explain this! Here! A more simpler way of explaining the story line! The story is basically about Allen Walker and his fellow Exorcists from the Black Order. They are sent all over the world to defeat the Akuma, a demon-like weapon created by the Millennium Earl. Thats not their only mission, they have to find the mysterious substance called Innocence before the Earl does!

Note: Exorcist weapons are called Anti-akuma weapons. Allen posesses an anti-akuma weapon in his left arm. This type is called a Parasite Anti-akuma weapon where it allows the Exorcist to morph his body into a weapon.



I really love the story line! I love how the mangaka blends Comedy, Action, Tragedy and a bit of Romance (you can tell if you read the story) The art gets better and better throughout the story. Everything is well done!

Summary: (From mangareader.net because I was in a hurry) Before Naruto's birth, a great demon fox had attacked the Hidden Leaf Village. A man known as the 4th Hokage sealed the demon inside the newly born Naruto, causing him to unknowingly grow up detested by his fellow villagers. Despite his lack of talent in many areas of ninjutsu, Naruto strives for only one goal: to gain the title of Hokage, the strongest ninja in his village. Desiring the respect he never received, Naruto works towards his dream with fellow friends Sasuke and Sakura and mentor Kakashi as they go through many trials and battles that come with being a ninja.

I really love ninjas! But.......this keeps going on and on!! I wonder when it will end soon........this manga is pretty old. There is even a second season! Naruto Shippuden! If you haven't heard of Naruto.....where have you been?! Naruto is known all over the world! It became the most popular and ongoing Shonen manga/anime ever! I wonder how it will end? Thats my only complaint! The story just lags on and on...........

Ichigo!! I love you!! The story line is great! Action and Art is great! The mangaka just throws in Comedy at the right time! Its so great! Bleach is very popular in Japan and the U.S!

My best friend gave me the books for this manga and I was totally hooked onto them! I really enjoyed this manga/anime! But.......why did it end? The mangaka did a great job in puting more Romance and Action in each Book! Chrono is hot.........and he is cute at the same time!!

It was getting too weird for me but overall it was great! The story line is oustanding!! It just drawing me in no matter where I start and end! It got weird as it kept going though.........Yagami went all pshyco.......:D
