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
Reading Direction: Right to Left
Age Rating: 13+ Teen
Status: (Anime) Completed and (Manga) Completed

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.

Hikaru No Go 1 - Page 3

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.



Title: Alice in the Country of Hearts, Hearts no Kuni no Alice
Author: (Art) Soumei Hoshino and (Story) Quinrose
Genres: Fantasy, Comedy, Shojo, Adventure, Action, Romance
Reading Direction: Right to Left
Age Rating: 16+ Older Teen (Honestly, there is nothing wrong with it)
Status: Ongoing

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~!!

Manga of the Week! Ranma 1/2

I haven't been posting anything manga related.....I'm sorry!! Believe me, I'm writing a post with TONS of manga to read and anime's to watch over the summer. Its just taking long so wait! In the meantime.....please read this post about Ranma 1/2. I know its old but really, its actually a great manga/anime. I really love it!

I couldn't find a reason why I didn't want to watch the anime or read the manga. I guess I didn't come across it or have the interest to. I mainly thought it would crash and burn and suck really bad because it was an old manga/anime (maybe just the art bothered me) but I totally thought wrong. Man, I've to stop thinking like this!

File:Ranmavolume1.jpgTitle: Ranma 1/2, らんま1/2, Ranma Nibun-no-Ichi
Author: Rumiko Takahashi (Creator of Inuyasha)
Genres: Romance, Martial Arts, Action, Comedy, Gender Bender, Fantasy
Reading Direction: Right to Left
Age Rating: 16+ Older Teen
Status: Completed

Summary: 16 year old Ranma Saotome is a guy trained in Martial Arts since childhood. Along with his father (Genma), they both went to China to train. Apparently they both fell into a cursed spring in Jusenkyo. Funny thing is, whoever falls in the spring will take form of whoever or whatever drowned the spring thousands of years ago. Whenever the cursed one is in contact with cold water, they will turn into that form. Fortunately, in contact with hot water, they turn back to their normal selves. Genma fell into the spring of the Drowned Panda (he turns into a panda now) and Ranma fell into the spring of the Drowned Girl, therefore he will turn into a girl when in contact with water. Funny yet?

Things get worse for Ranma when he finds out that he is engaged to his fathers friend, Soun Tendo's daughter. Soun has three daughters, Kasumi, Nibiki, and the guy hater, Akane. Since Akane is Ranma's age, she is chosen to be the bride. Of course Akane and Ranma hate the fact that they are being forced into this. Akane is a tomboy and hates guys. Ranma just don't it. They both hate each other! Will love ever blossom from this relationship?

I was bored one night and I couldn't sleep so I looked around for some kind of Gender Bender, Romantic and funny anime to watch. I came across Ranma 1/2. For awhile I stopped myself from watching this and I don't know why. I decided to get over it and watched it........Dubbed. I was on my siblings Ipod touch and I couldn't watch it Subbed. I went on with it and I almost died. I didn't mind the Dub (I love the Ranma's guy dub, he seems hot) so much because it seemed to match the characters character.

The reason why I almost died because the anime is just freaking funny! It was like, maybe midnight and I was supposed to be sleeping but I ended up watching an anime. I couldn't laugh to loud and that was pretty hard.

One second Ranma is a guy and then he comes across water. Great. I love how there is water somewhere in the anime and he happens to turn into a girl every time. Its really funny. The way the comedy comes into play is greatly used. It comes at the right time. Romance slowly develops, along with the characters. Its great how it goes at the right pace. It takes it time. Not to slow or too fast. I hate it when some manga's or anime's rush things like character development or Romance. Or slow things down where you can really tell they are in love and stuff but there is no development.

The art is memorable. I can tell this is Rumiko Takahashi's work by the style but there is something about it that makes it really intriguing. I can't put my finger on it......I just don't know. Is it how old the art is? Or it just sticks in my head? I don't know. I think its really cute, fits perfectly with the storyline and really amazing considering its made in 1987.


The storyline is really interesting! Its totally out of this world. Totally new to me! The fighting scenes are cool and the characters are really unique. Once you meet another character, it will cause the main character to develop and change. You will see differences in their actions and ARGH! Man, I love the love triangles and complicated-ness. I know this anime/manga seems wayy to long but hey, it makes time for the characters and story to develop nicely. I love it! Do I have anything else to say about the storyline? Hmm.......Its just really great and full of Comedy and Romance. The story is sooooo cute and I enjoy it soo much.


As I've said this manga/anime is pretty old. The animation is pretty good. :D Please, don't let how old the manga/anime is get to you. If you looked at it at a different perspective, there would be no difference.



Now your wondering......Do I like it better than Inuyasha? I'm not going to answer because I can't decide. They are both great works by Rumiko Takahashi and I can't decide! They both have great humor, cute romance and lots of interesting action. Ranma 1/2 is more popular with the females while Inuyasha is with males. If you watched or read Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2.......comment and tell me what you think! Please....no negitive comments!!

Oh! One last thing........I really love Ranma!!! He is soooo cool!!!!

(looks at my post once again) Wow.......I typed alot......that a first. Please try reading the manga or watching the anime!! I guarantee you, you will love it!

Arigatou~!!

Japanese Songs




Ever since I started watching Anime or reading Manga (Which was along time ago), I discovered Japanese music is really great, amazing and awesome! I may not know what they are saying but It's just plain awesomeness!!! To my opinion I find Japanese music better than any other songs in English or any other language.....sorry I have an opinion to you know. But really Japanese music is awesome!! I get most of them from watching Anime.

Ok now I don't have a favourite song yet but I have tons favourite kinds of them. I mostly love Boy bands like uverworld or Hip hop kind of songs from Home made Kazoku or from Seamo. I just love songs from them! I should tell you more about Japanese songs! Anime's use songs for their opening theme or ending theme. Oh and sometimes each character in the Anime has their own theme. If you know all this already then...keep reading until you find something interesting.

Since I watch wayyy to many Anime's (I have a life you know) I'll tell you about some great songs you should try listen to. I don't know what kind of music you like so I'll just throw songs or artists at you.......just try them

Hey Boy, Hey Girl by Seamo feat. BoA
Dearest by Ayumi Hamasaki from the anime Inuyasha
Honey Honey by Seamo feat. Azu
Jikan yo Tomare by Azu feat. Seamo from the anime Itazura na Kiss
No Rain No Rainbow by Homemade Kazoku from Naruto Shippuden Movie 2
+Plus by Canvas from the anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Chance by uverworld
Party time by....I forgot the artist from the anime Shugo chara party
O2 by Orange Range from the anime Code geass R2
......
You know what? Just watch some Anime and they probably have songs in the opening or ending that you might like. I don't care if you don't like those songs there that I like. Hey, everyone has different tastes in Music so I don't blame you.

Have fun!

Arigatou!!
