It was the story of a boy and his desire to create a new world. Death Note is perhaps one of the best anime I can take note of, firstly because of its dark humor and secondly due to the mind twisting enigmas that settled through the whole story. For a person who loves mind boggling shows this is the right anime to perk your brains up.

Death Note shows us the life of Yagami Light as he finds himself as the author of the notebook called death note. The said item was owned and dropped on purpose by a shinigami named Ryuk, a death god.

The said notebook is considered a death sentence for any person whose name is written on the note. For Light as he take on his hands the said notes it was justice as he writes the names of criminals. It was with the continuous and mysterious way he has killed these people that the police started hunting him. He then introduces himself to the world as Kira while a man named L joins the show as he solves the mystery of who is Kira.

It is the contradicting outlook and show of Light and L that makes the whole story more interesting. People can't seem to make up their minds as to who they want to be with regards to these two personas. L is messy and into sweets but is definitely a thinker. Light is neat and very poised but is also a thinker. Both are considered the YIN and YANG of the story that (I must admit) at the time of L's death the next detectives were kind of off. They were the best friends and the worst enemies.
For those who have grown very fond of the said show there have been rumors that death note will have an American remake. This is definitely interesting. It was said that Zach Effron will be playing Light Yagami. I must say that he does look like Light in a lot of ways plus the high school charm will do the trick more perfectly. The question now is who will play the role of L?

The story of Yagami Light and L and all the colorful characters that made Death Note the success of a series it is (plus the movie version) is something worth watching. It's is definitely what your mind will want to check out.

October 4, 2005 launched a new anime series that is sure to haunt every thought and gives lessons in return. We have usually been used to the good versus evil plot but an evil to evil sequence is something different.

Hell Girl is a story of Ai Enma, the girl who owns the said title. She is this one soul who is given the task of staying on Hell's shores and isn't allowed to enter Hell as a deliverer of souls.

Her story starts as human who became a sacrifice for the village. Her childhood friend was convinced by the villagers to throw the first shovel of soil at Ai which caused her brown eyes to turn brown--thus awakening something sinister. She died then with hate in her heart, the biggest sin of all.

After she had died, she rose from her grave and burned the village out of vengeance. She then made a pact with the King of Hell which appeared to her as a Spider. For her loved ones not to face torment in Hell, she agreed to his punishment to her as she makes a binding contract to those who wish to place vengeance to people by taking them to hell--in return however, when the time of death for the person arrives, he or she will be brought to hell as well.

It was only recently when me and my sibling grew a certain fondness for the said show. It was shown in animax once that we got hooked on it especially my younger brother. It was definitely sinister (and I don't know if the word morbid would fit in this category), yet awesome!

Lessons would definitely come into view if you checked out Hell Girl not for the sense that it’s a great anime. The story of vengeance is one thing but forgiveness is another. This is one reason why kids should be well guarded when it comes to showing this anime. They may be misguided and such especially with the said theme of the show. In totality, however, this is one anime that shouldn't be missed.

For those curious enough as to how Ai story started and for the best lesson watch episodes 25 and 26. Episode 25 of Hell Girl shows the origin of Ai how she was as a human and how she died and how she rose from her grave. Episode 26 shows the part that Ai has seen a lesson from a little girl who forgave her father from being the cause of her mother's death. The girl's father is also a descendant of the boy whom Ai had befriended during her childhood.

If you wish to watch an anime that gives certain thrill on something that you wouldn’t think it could ever be shown on TV well and send goose bumps then check out Hell Girl.

I know this is not anime but I can’t help but write about it.

I just saw a You Tube video of the Lion King where the song was supposed to be Can You Feel the Love Tonight, instead what I heard was a collaboration of Il Divo and Celine Dion in the song "I believe in you". It’s indeed something to hear. When I heard it was as if I was suddenly perked up by some unexplained force.

It was soft yet you can immediately feel the power within the song. Here’s I believe in you…





"Follow your heart,let your love lead through the darkness,BAck to a place you once knew, I believe in you..."

These are not dirty. They are art. However most youth simply can’t help but do it everywhere. Here’s an idea: do it in paper instead. Sorry can’t help it, I think this one was cool not to mention the song. Enjoy graffiti in paper….

I really have no idea what was my first anime to date. All I could recall was looking forward to G-Force and Ghost Fighter (especially Ghost Fighter which I usually cry over whenever I wasn’t able to watch due to some schedule wreaker).
In my dire love of everything anime I have rendered myself to search for some particular video on these Japanese shows that are cool to the core. I was planning on featuring Bleach however something caught my attention instead.

Drawing anime was one thing I never got to get hold of (except Eugene again only the head part). I was deeply amazed by my classmates, especially this certain girl Odessa, who can draw perfect anime characters and even has a notebook full of them. My classmate Aldrin was another guy who loved doing comic strips based on our favorite show Ghostfighter. So I was a kid who loved the wide eyed characters. It’s been years and honestly I still enjoy them (Isn’t it obvious...LOL). At this point as I dedicated everything anime to all anime lovers, here’s a little treat.

Miki Falls is a four volume series OEL from Mark Crilley. He had drawn the illustrations basing more on real sceneries in Fujiwara Japan. It is an interesting note, that the said manga series was taken in by Paramount Pictures and Brad Pitt Plan B to be to be a movie. At this point however what I’m more excited to show you folks are not on Miki but rather how she was created (and when I say created how was she drawn).

I saw Mark Crilley’s videos on You Tube on how to draw anime. As I watch it I can’t help but be fascinated as to how these pics seem to be made from light strokes to beautiful pieces. I just love it (take note of the word “love” rather than “like”). It’s one of those days when you just feel like wanting to draw or just plain curious how they do such characters that gives you the drive to want to learn how they are done.

Here’s the video on Mike Crilley’s How to do Shading of an Anime and Drawing 100 Eyes.







For those curious on whose Mark Crilley is, check him out at http://www.markcrilley.com/. See more of his tutorials on how to draw anime on You Tube.


For those who are interested more on drawing, especially the cooler graffiti, here’s something I saw from http://news.animeturbo.com. The video posted also came from You Tube. Just thought you may want to check it out.

Ok so here’s a follow up of my search for Didi Belami’s take of Terrified turned anime hunting instead. I was supposed to return to searching however I got hooked up by another video from an anime fan, a respose to the Best Anime Cosplay. It was posted January 8, 2007 and it’s 2010 at the moment. I know, it’s late, but better than never.

It was cool as in totally! I never really much enjoyed Cosplay news being shown on television though it excited me but to see this one—the compilation of pics done by anime fans as they dress up into their fave characters. Just check out the first entry which shows the characters of Naruto. I think there was only one time when Gaara was shown, however the coolest was that of Kakashi and Sasuke. Henata was always a favorite but the one in this vid was pretty cute (it seems good to just imagine what if Naruto was not an animated show but was actually real).

I was surprise to see yet another set of characters as their grouped was flashed in their totally sweet and wholesome way—Sailormoon. Yup! Maybe those whose age are, more or less around 25, may relate to the craze brought about by Osagi Tsukino aka Sailormoon and her gal pals. They are the Powerpuff Girls of Japan (I just don’t know if others would agree with me). However of all the pips that donned to dress up in the anime characters one group caught me off guard and really amazed.

Just recently I posted Final Fantasy 7 including the song “Angels”. This time they even set a ruling fire to the Cosplay as people who are into sooooo much said Final Fantasy show appears cooler than cool and hotter than hot in dressing up into the top characters: It’s almost as if they were the characters themselves. They have copied completely the character that you’ll start thinking that maybe they are them and not impersonators—but they are people wearing costumes. From the hair, to the eyes, to the way they even held their swords (yeah! The swords were damn pretty awesome as they show off their full form). It was a real life replica of the characters (especially cloud and Tiffa was pretty cute even the scary Sepheroth got justice from their fans). There’s total anime loving here in this photo shoot and Cosplay.

Before I end this article (and resume to checking out Didi Belami and “Terrified”) I just like to take note of the song that played on the background. Awesome as it is really “awesome”, this one is actually the theme song to another sports anime we all love—Prince of Tennis. If you’re into Slam Dunk then this tennis anime (whose main character can play both lefty and righty) is one that will definitely get you hooked. In this case the music did and it did great for a background.

Let me share some best cosplay photos:

Sailormoon Cosplay






So I guess that’s it. I’ll definitely check out more of Cosplay and thrill me (and I’ll share those goose-bump-ing moments) as I check out more Anime delights only from an anime lover like you.

Ciao!
Oh! By the way…I think I saw Death Note….Till Next time!!!!xoxo

It’s been a long time since I last saw her and she’s still hot and as deadly as ever before. Femme fatal version of Spider man emerges in an animated trailer that’s as exciting as ever before.

Well actually that was last year, but like other people say better late than never.

I just saw the trailer earlier while trying to look for some good videos which only focus on Didi Benami that American Idol hopeful who sang Kara Dioguardi’s “Terrified”. Yeah there are a lot of videos of her but thinking of anime started to get of me and started searching (for the tiniest moment) the word “anime”. It got me to check out the hot British Accented Spider Woman and damn she wowed me a lot!

So as I was saying this animated comic strip is actually the first episode of the Spider Woman series entitled Spider-Woman, Agent of the SWORD Episode 1. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustration by Alex Maleev, the trailer brought about a certain thrill and chill. It was sort of the dark side of Spider Woman however in a very exciting “I-can’t-wait” moment. I really don’t know what to say. However too late that I saw the trailer, I’m pretty glad I still did. The episode is sooo available in You Tube.

I just saw the trailer and man was it cool…as cool as the trailer. So, the conversation between the two women, were sort of plain (when a woman introduced herself as a SWORD agent). I was expecting something more (not lively chit chatty ok) just something I can’t quite pin point. Then again I guess the accent was quite good or maybe it’s just me and my fascination to other accents.

The illustration to the animated comic is quite gruesome. It was cool however I can’t help but think of what happened to Wolverine that made Jessica (Spider woman) cry. It was pretty confusing or maybe because I wasn’t able to follow through the Avenger series (yup they belonged to the same team). Anyways the important thing is that everything went pretty well with my You tube search. Had fun watching it rather than paying how much for the first episode in itunes.

Just in case you’re all interested to check out the videos in You Tube just go to the site and type “Spider woman motion comic”. It will instantly give you the list of the trailer and the episodes—pretty cool! Happy searching…happy watching...and I need to catch the web thing more with Spider Woman that is!!!! Happy weekends and HAPPY VALENTINES!!!

It’s the first entry and I can’t dare miss to post this one. I’ve played some Final Fantasy when I was kid (Final Fantasy 8 being my favorite) and enjoyed their music as well. Their story just drives me crazy especially as conflicts rise and the hero suddenly emerges to victory. If it were without any controllers, monsters to battle and missions that gamers need to complete, it could be one of the greatest movies to watch; then again it is.

This FF game was one which I never had chance to play-but I saw the movie anyway that of its part two: Final Fantasy 7 has always been one FF game which I never played yet watching FF7 Advent Children made it okay.
I have enjoyed Advent Children too much that watching it for the nth time seem not enough. I have to scan You Tube for any movie of the first part to be able to enjoy the part two more. I have always loved the music as well, and since I was scavenging the net for their movie versions rather than the games, I happen to come across one of their music from their FF7 soundtrack: Angel.

Ok so honestly I really am not so sure whether this “Angel” video (music to be precise) is even part of the soundtrack but it fitted well to the mesh of scenes from the video of FF7. I found this video on You Tube compiled by majjamis. Actually the said video was actually taken from Anime Tivo according to the information box on the right side ( so I guess the song is part of the soundtrack).
The coolest effects and story line perked up by the song Angels, FF7 videos are as fun and fantastic (and dramatic) as this one. This is definitely a fun stuff to check out by both gamers and the anime lovers in you.

Summary: final Fantasy series was always a great game for the dreamer and adventurer. Not being able to play Final Fantasy 7, background check of this series led to the discovery of ne music video in You Tube which promised great mesh of the scenes from the game’s movie and exciting music to perk up the want to see more FF.

Dedicated to all the pips, which can’t seem to get too emo on their fave anime shows; from movies, to television episodes to their music. What is it about these animated shows that keep us wanting more of them?

Anime shows has transcended with time allowing not only the young to dominate in-front-of-the-TV but also to the acceptable preferences of the adults. Action may still be there yet there are simply shows which give us more than the gruesome and hyper state as they introduce story throughout the whole show. To keep all the parents updated, especially those who may not be too aware about education being the least of their worries, there are anime programs that are at present enlightening the viewers on dramatic preferences like musicals and even literature (although I must admit this is no excuse for kids to stay too much in front of the television and not do their homework).

Let’s face it—anime is addicting!!!! (too much that there is a need to call for back up—sometimes—to get us unhooked and come back to reality).
Hope you love my endless ranting, romancing, and at times wishing-to-sing-alonging to the anime we all love, wanting to love, and going to love….
