Zed is a highschooler that frequently damages doors and walls. He does because it makes him feel more free, since however he lives his life, it's restrained and limited. His mother resides in the Calm Hospital, and until he's able to cure her, he'll move to another city. On his birthday, he visits his mother and shows her the white feather, given to him as a gift. His mother seems to react to it, and through Zed's outburst, he was taken away by security guards and locked in a jail (also for trashing the doors).

His mother helps him escape and Zed learns about "Shard Casters". During his escape, he follows the wind and enters a new world. In this world, the warriors use "Shards" which are magical beads that cast powerful damage. The warriors can also manipulate "spirits". Zed stays in that world, with the soothing wind, and works hard to become a Shard Caster.

Elfren Lied

2011-12-19T22:41:00.000-08:00

The story involves human mutations called "dicloniuses", who grow horns on their heads and possess telekinetic powers, in the form of invisible "arms" called vectors.

The tendency for violence among dicloniuses varies among characters. Certain scientists contain them in a Facility in cells where they are subject to inhumane experiments to test their abilities or where they await execution for being too dangerous.

An infectious virus is also associated with the mutation. This virus is spread through non-lethal contact with the vectors of a diclonius.

The main non-mutant character in the story is Kouta, who ends up becoming increasingly involved with these dicloniuses, as they seek refuge from the scientists.

The main diclonius character is Lucy/Nyuu a killer whose alter ego is a hapless, and very cute child whose vocabulary and intelligence is quite limited.

Chapter 505: The Nine-Tails’ Chakra Unleashed!

2010-12-01T14:30:00.000-08:00

Naruto time! After a tiring week, Naturo is sure a welcome distraction. Reading the manga has always be a stress reliever for me. With all the employment background check I had to undergo, I have never felt more relieved after reading the latest Naruto chapter.

Anyway, back to the story. After Kushina disappeared, Naruto continued talking, telling his mother about his life so far. Turned out everything is alright with him. He promised his mom that he’ll try to eat vegetables from then on and promised himself to be the best hokage of their time. After that, he came back and explained what happened. He then showed what happens when he taps on the Kyuubi’s chakra.

It is amazing what Naruto can do with the chakra. What’s more amazing is that Naruto was able to detect Kisame even if he was inside the Samehada. The Nine Tails did give Naruto new powers, something that is more powerful. Anyway, Kisame was telling them how he survived being killed when Naruto teleported and used a right handed smash on Kisame. He did hurt Kisame but Naruto got stuck as he was not so used to the fourth technique so Kisame was able to escape.

Meanwhile, Guy and two other shinobi were outside. They were challenging Guy to find his true self just like Naruto. When the true self of Guy was about to come out, that’s when Kisame came out of the waterfall. The two shinobi, after doing some background check, realized it was something else that came out of the waterfall, but guy was so determined to beat his ‘Kisame inner self’. The chapter ended with Guy trying to beat Kisame.

As expected, it was a fun chapter. Guy provided the comic relief to an otherwise intense scene. It was so nice seeing Naruto so powerful. We’ll have to wait for the next chapter to know what happens next. See you in the next installment.

Chapter 504: Thank You

2010-08-10T07:32:00.000-07:00

It’s no wonder this chapter is entitled Thank You. It was, after all, the only words Naruto was able to say after her mother finished explaining to him the decision she and his father made years ago.

The charter begun with Minato trying to convince Kushina why he is sacrificing himself to save Naruto. He argued that his decision is not only to save the village but to give Naruto a good life. As they were discussing, the Third and some shinobi arrived but they can’t interfere with Minato and Kushina as there is a barrier around them. They all, however, witnessed Minato’s Dead Demon Seal.

Going back to the fox, it did some background check and learned that Minato is trying to seal it in Naruto’s body, so it tried to kill the baby but failed as Minato and Kushina stopped it with their bodies. Before Minato closed the jutsu, they said their last words to Naruto. It was a very emotional moment for the family.

When the scene moved back to Naruto’s subconscious, Kushina and Naruto made their final bond before Kushina disappeared. Naruto then understood everything making him much powerful and confident this time.

Loved this chapter. It tells of the strong familial bond present even in make-believe characters. I can’t wait for the next chapters. Looking forward to what will happen next. I’ll gather some background check information first on the next chapter. Until then.

Chapter 503 Minato’s Dead Demon Seal

2010-08-03T07:53:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, I’m back! Leaving off from the last chapter you just have seen where Minato knocks Madara with the Rasengan and that Madara suffered an arm injury. Minato, who is the fourth hokage, also winded up marking Madara allowing him to use the Flying Thunder God technique. And because of that, Minato has to use a contract seal to end Madara’s power over the Nine-Tails. After that encounter, Madara escapes with the promise that one day he will return and will take back what is his.

In the mean time, Kakashi, Kurenai, and the other kids wanted to help their parents in the fight only to get hard objection from the grownups. This is something so real and admirable in Naruto. They live in complex, imaginary world, but if you do a background check, the story is something that can happen in real life. Parents are still parents, and they would do everything to protect their kids.

Anyhow, Sarutobi’s group had cast out the Nine-Tails from the village but it fired another demonic Ball attack. Good thing Minato was able to summon Gamabunta and drive the demon fox and the blast away from the village. He then went to where Kushina and Naruto were. Kushina was holding the fox down with her special abilities, but she doesn’t have enough Chakra to keep the fox in control. So, with her little Chakra left she decided to drag it back inside her and die with it.

But Minato had other plans. He will use Kushina’s remaining chakra, the Dead Demon Seal to seal half of the fox into Naruto, and use the rest of his chakra to seal the other half even if it could result in this death. The chapter ends with Minato maneuvering the Dead Demon Seal, leaving us wanting for more and scraping for background check information on the next chapter. See you again next time for more Naruto action.

Chapter 502 Yondaime’s battle to the death

2010-07-21T09:07:00.000-07:00

The continuation to Narrator’s birth is here. Keshena continues her story of how the cube appeared in Konoha 16 years ago. many Naruto fans have done their background search on this (including me...) and now the mangga is giving it to us hot on the platter....

It's the background check on how Naruto also became the host of the Kyubi. I guess this is a good compensation to the animated series where a spoiler SPOILED our viewing that made Naruto's animated episode skip an episode making it un-orderly (and miss out the part where Naruto met his father--DANG!!!)...

Naruto finally met his father and we never got to see it go animated (well, we'll still get to) after a few more days. for now the story continues in mangga.

After rescuing his wife, Minato set off to help Konoha against the Kyubi. everybody felt the presence of danger, even the baby Sasuke. so here comes the Kyubi summoned by Madara. Minato stopped the attack alright but had to face the one who summoned the Kyubi. after he saw the skills he had then figured out who he is--it was like all background checking the enemy through the skills he possessed.

Minato learned that it was Madara Uchiha alright that kidnapped his wife and took the Kyubi; now Madara has summoned it to destroy Konoha which he has called as a sign for war and for peace.

I'm sure that most of you would want to form that background check company focusing in everything about Naruto (ah yes actually I have one with my friends--no kiddin!). This is one crazy kid on Naruto who can't wait for the next one. honestly the series is getting more fun unfortunately the fun seems to be cut short per every ending--leaving us hanging for more... well for now I guess all I can say is watch out for more of your Naruto info here...next stop a background check on why we missed that Naruto and dad moment in Anime (and who spoiled the fun!!!)...Ciao pips...

Chapter 501: Attack of the Kyubi

2010-07-19T14:37:00.000-07:00

Who would have thought that Naruto's mom is friends with Sasuke's mom? this was shown on Chapter 500 during Naruto's birth. It was a complete background check from Kushina as she finally shows herself to her son-helping him uses the chakra of the Kyubi. Chapter 501 presents the continuation of Kushina's story when Madara attacked them.

AS the seal weakens during birth, Kushina was kidnapped by Madara to steal the Kyubi. it's known that he was controlling the Kyubi when he fought the first Hokage; however the Hokage's wife had then sealed the beast within her thus letting Konaha have the nine-tailed beast in their possession.

After delivering Naruto to the world, they were attacked by Madara who took the baby with him. The flash used his ninjutsu in order to save his son but had left Kushina defenseless. He had taken her and had freed the Kyubi while Minato took Naruto to safety. Afterwards Minato went to rescue Kushina but came too late as she was weakened with the Kyubi breaking out from within. It was fortunate that Minato was able to reunite Kushina with their son before he went out to save Konoha from the Kyubi's destruction.

The preceding chapters are indeed a background search for Naruto fans on what made Naruto the host. It’s another plus as we learned about how Konoha was saved from the Kyubi 16 years ago; however that treat is saved for another day. It's definitely another week of waiting (although not in vain) as we learn more on Naruto's past and his parent's heroism...

Chapter 500: Naruto's Birth

2010-07-05T14:38:00.000-07:00

That Day, the day those two set out on a journey, Leaving behind their only treasure....

Hey guys! Naruto manga just reached its 500th chapter. Things are really beginning to be more exciting and interesting after Kushina, Naruto's mom, just admitted that she was once the kyubi's host. This chapter gives us a background check on what happened 16 years ago when the Kyubi attacked Konoha and as to how Naruto became the host.

It was time for Kushina to tell the Naruto more about the Kyubi and herself. She started off with telling how her life had been being the child to keep the nine tails within her. She had laid all the cards to Naruto, especially on how Konoha had the Kyubi starting with its first host-the first Hokage's wife (who also came from the clan Kushina came). The first Hokage's wife had sealed the Kyubi within her especially as she was able to control it as well. During her weakening moments, Kushina was taken in which made her the second host.

Kushina may have come from a different country yet with their clans related to each other; Konoha got her especially with her strong chakra. After the transfer, Kushina was able to live in Konaha happy even as a host.

As the fourth hokage's wife, Kushina had the kyubi with her as a top secret. It was only during Naruto's birth that the seal that kept it within her would weaken. However, even after all effort to her giving birth was strictly kept away from the village a masked man appeared.

Background checking all of Naruto chapters can already tell us on who that person is. After this revelation surely people are looking forward to more of Naruto. This is one background check on Naruto's birth that we'll definitely be read over and over again plus the next one more waited than the previous chapters.

Naruto shippuden chapter 497 and 498

2010-06-11T14:10:00.000-07:00

Hey to all Naruto fans! So here's my report on Naruto's chapters 497 and 498. I felt like I should do the report on both episodes in the same post after missing on doing it for a week (with 497 that is). Another reason is we'll get another "bummer" due to hanging up with the last episode.

For Naruto shippuden 497 and 498: Naruto has finally gotten his chance to take the kyubi's chakra, however he needs to not give in to the beast's will. Background check on previous chapters shows us that the kyubi is made of hate; the reason why Naruto need to get rid of his hatred. However as he was fighting the kyubi, his hatred came back (a proof that the kyubi is indeed strong). In the middle of the kyubi's taking over Naruto, a woman appeared.

Naruto was taken aback by the presence of the woman while fighting the woman. At first he had foolishly thought of her as the form of the nine tails until he was clued as to who she was. Naruto then embraced his mother tightly which Kushina returned the gestured.

To be able to catch up, Kushina immediately restrained the fox that seemed to be struck by her chakra. Background search on her chakra had already made the fox taken aback. It was said that hers was very special that she was even kidnapped due to it. Chapter 498 shows her telling the story to Naruto on how she and Minato fell in love. Minanto had saved her then and complimented on her hair.

While telling the story, Naruto also complimented on her hair being the second person to say so (the first was Minato of course). She then told his son she loved him while Killer Bee and Yamato were amazed at how the transformation of Naruto to the nine tailed fox stopped all of a sudden.

It's getting better and better as things are finally more revealed: Kushina's chakra was also used to seal the nine tails due to its power. Chapter 499 is definitely something to look forward to.

Naruto Shippuden Chapter 496: Reunion with the kyubi

2010-06-10T10:47:00.000-07:00

After Naruto defeated his darker self Naruto gets to face the biju in him: the kyubi. Chapter 496 gives us the meeting we are finally waiting to see.

In the entire episode where Naruto went to do background checking on how to deal with his Kyubi, the answer finally came to him as he learns the story of Killer Bee, the host of the Hachibi.

It was the story that helped him defeat his darker side who claims to be his true self. All he needs to do is to love him.

After being "cleansed" of his dark side, Naruto was led to the waterfalls with Yamato. To their surprise they saw ruins of a temple where they bijus are sealed before they can find a new host. It may be amazing yet Bee explained why there are statues without heads and how to open the room where Naruto is to meet the Kyubi again.

The temple is a place where a biju is sealed until such time that they have done enough background search on who is fit to become the biju's host. There’s a replica of a monster's head where Naruto needs to place his head inside the mouth. According to Bee his head will be bit off (the headless status are actually past host) if he is not really cleansed. If he’s worthy then the door will open.

It was a big laugh honestly. Yamato suddenly went crazy as he pulled Naruto who happened to be just joking. Naruto had then entered his head inside the replica and screamed but when he got out he laughed and told Yamato that all he found was a switch.

After entering the room, Bee instructed him to concentrate. All he needs to do once he met the Kyubi is to unseal it and connect with its chakra. if his will is weak the kyubi will take his and all will fail. If Naruto is able to do so then he will get the Kyubi's powers indeed. He must remember though when he did the background checking on the Kyubi, that his Biju is full of hatred.

Bee helped him although he is weaker since he can only enter Naruto's mind. The chapter ended with Naruto trying to deal with the released Kyubi.

PUU! Makona's story

2010-05-28T09:19:00.000-07:00

A rabbit or a dumpling? Its cute, its fluffy a bun-shaped creature no its Makona!

I came across a cheeky story of a fluffy "delicious" creature name Makona (actually I just saw it in Magic Knight Rayearth). He has these wide and long ears with a red pendant on his forehead. Furthermore he also has a stout body and closed eyes. At first I thought he was just a pet like companion and guide to the Knights but as the second story progresses, a certain background checking from the girls revealed that their pet like friend is actually a God.

He (or maybe she) is a God that created Earth and Cephiro. Makona is actually a god that has control over travelling from one dimension to another. After growing frustrated over Earth which is run by people's own will, he traveled on and created Cephiro. He then created the pillar system where the world will be run by only one person's will. Emeraude was a pillar however after falling in love with Zagato she wished to be killed instead. It was one of the magic knights who became the next pillar and therefore wished that Cephiro can be run by everyone's own will taking out the pillar system. After this, Makona disappeared to another dimension where he created another.

Makona appeared again in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and xxxHolic series; it was with Clow Reed and Yuuko whom he appeared to thus revealing to them of other dimensions existing. Background search on Tsubasa series shows the story of Princess Sakura who lost her memories which were shown as feathers. In the story the group of Syaouran went to ask Yuuko's help. There were two Makona's in her possession. Seol the white one had the ability to travel dimensions. He was then given to the group while the black Makona, Larg, stayed with her.

Syaoran and Sakura, the two that asked for Yuuko's help, is actually from another dimension. They carry with them the same soul as that of Sakura and Syaoran of Card Captor Sakura anime (the two from this world and who are related to Clow Reed. it was here that they vowed to wait for the two young people and help them.

Makona is that lovable figure whom everybody loves. During his stay in Magic Knight Rayearth, he only spoke "Puu" however when he was in both said series (Tsubasa and xxxHOlic), the two Makona figures spoke normally. Anyways, whether he is a pet, a friend, or a god, Makona is one character that we definitely would want to hug. Cute and lovable Makona....

Naruto Shippuden Chapter 495: Dark Naruto Destroyed!!

2010-05-24T15:07:00.000-07:00

It was a background check for us folks on Killerbee and Motoi's past as friends (especially how Motoi once tried to kill Bee) last chapter 494. It ended with Motoi realizing Bee never hated him for it but still took him for a friend (that was after he was saved by Bee from the Squid which Naruto thought was Bee--again).

Chapter 495 continues the conversation of Motoi, Killer Bee, Naruto and Yamato who finally gets settled after the Squid's attack. With Motoi safe, Bee thanked Naruto and finally gave him the encouragement he needed. He then said that he was indeed ready to defeat Naruto's Dark Side and thus returned to the Waterfalls of Truth.

Naruto once again faced his Dark Side who kept of insisting their dark past and how people treated them. However Naruto surprised him with his signature, his dreams of becoming a Hokage. He further stressed that he needs to accept himself first before anything else and that his dark shadow should too.

The chapter ends with Naruto defeating his dark side (who finally disappeared) and Killer Bee finally agreeing to be his master and teaching him how to train the Kyubi.

So far so good Narurto's stories looking pretty good once again. For those who wish to see the anime latest release is at episode 161 entitled "Surname is Sarutobi, given Name is Konohamaru. Naruto Anime is produced by Studio Peirrot and Aniplex. They are shown in our background check company as owned by Sony Music Entertainment Japan and has been behind great animes such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Blood: The Last Vampire and Rurouni Kenshin.

Addition to the Vampire Read: Vampire Knight

2010-05-18T12:06:00.000-07:00

I've been recommended a certain manga read which I still have to do a background check whether there is a certain anime already existing. I must admit though that since I first read the first part I never seem to get myself to stop.

It's Kaname and Yuuki and Zero; "Vampire Knight". It's another vampire love story with a really good gist when it comes to creating a realistic view on vampires. It seems that whenever I do a background search for either a good read or show vampire stories are at a top mostly asked for. It has gone to a level where sunlight is another thing rather than a burning and turning someone into a fanged person (monster has gotten a new definition), is at a whole different level although it still has something to do with getting bitten.

We’ve heard of modern vampires in the real world, background search on them shows that they are categorized into three: the blood, the psychic and the hybrid. Although it has been discussed again and again how these vamps usually get their energy, it seems that novels, mangas and movies of vamps has become a better alternative when it comes to getting people more hooked on these type of figures.

Anyway Vampire Knight is something to look forward to from Twilight, to First Blood to even Vampire diaries. It tells the story of Yuuki who was rescued by the vampire Kaname who seem to get attached to her-protectively. Zero is her adoptive brother who came from a long line of vampire hunters. In the Cross academy, run by Yuuki's adoptive father, Yuuki and zero’s duty is to insure that no one from the day class learns that the night class are all vampires.

Here's another manga read to recommend for all those who love vampire stories.

On chapter 462: Sasuke's Dogma

2010-05-18T12:03:00.000-07:00

Going through all the details not to mention doing a background search as to why Itachi really killed the whole clan is something that even I at first seem to get messed up. More so when Madara came along and really made my head tipsier with his want to fight Konoha. It is in Chapter 462 however that this was explained clearly.

Naruto and Sasuke are related. It started with what they all thought of as a myth. According to an explanation presented by Madara, the Rikudo sage entrusted two boys with the power and will of way of the ninja. To the eldest he gave his eyes; the eldest believed that might is the key to peace. To the younger he gave his body with is life force and physical energy; the younger one believed that love was the key to peace. In the end the Sage chose the younger as his successor.

Enraged by the decision the eldest attacked his brother. The Eldest's descendants were called Uchiha while the younger's descendants were named Senju. The first Hokage was Hashirama Senju. Back then Madara Uchiha had always fought with him. With the long battle between the Senju's and the Uchiha, a truce was made so as to put a stop to the fights between the clans. They also founded Konohakugare where a Senju was the first to become Hokage.

The hate between Madara to the Senju made him believe that their fate was always to fight. He also believed that Naruto, reminding him so much of the first Hokage, is a Senju and was bound to fight the Uchiha.

It was one of the most highlighting parts of Naruto finally setting a clarification on a certain event: why Itachi killed the whole clan.

Background check shows that Itachi actually killed the whole clan to stop another great war as the Uchiha seemed to be planning a coup. Itachi had experience the war and due to the sufferings he saw he became a pacifist. However as a spy he went with the orders to kill the whole clan except for Sasuke believing that he was far greater than the whole village.

Naruto Shippuden Chapter 493: Dark Naruto

2010-05-13T12:22:00.000-07:00

"The One Dark, Irremovable spot on naruto's history" - DARK NARUTO

Released last May 8, 2010 in Mangafox.com, here's another exciting (yet I must admit it was depressing in a way since it's hanging a bit on the story) chapter of Naruto Shippuden.

Chapter 493: Dark Naruto, gives us the follow-up where Naruto meets his evil side in the Fountain of Truth. Last chapter 492, Naruto was asking Killer Bee's help in taming his Kyubi. However he was rejected. He was then helped by the Island's caretaker by referring him in the fountain where he was told to do some meditating. it was at this part the 492 ended with a figure revealing himself to Naruto.

In 493 Naruto was taken aback by the image especially after he revealed himself as the darker side of him. Another fact that was surprising was that how the Kyubi liked the other Naruto being dark and hated. Background check on the previous chapter shows how the toads said that the Kyubi's will is focused on hatred. Naruto was simply told to learn how to take on the power of the Kyubi but to not loose itself on its will.

Moving on… Naruto didn’t like what the other “him” said. The dark Naruto spoke of hate towards those who pushed him aside when he was younger and how he detest the fact that at present he was being praised by them. He was in fact all his shredded hatred that the Kyubi wishes to feed upon.

Naruto tried to fight him by doing his jutsu, however as he did this the other Naruto also did the same: they both posses the same power, the same strength, and the same knowledge on jutsus.

The next scene was that of Naruto finally getting out of his trance panting as he was approached by the worried Yamato. naruto then started to relay to him what happened as he entered the place where he saw the figure. The island taker Motoi then replied to him stating that he should defeat the said figure if he wants to control the kyubi. However it was this that Naruto worried since there was no difference between them in terms of looks, skills and knowledge--all except his aura.

Naruto then asked Motoi regarding Bee's history wanting to do background search on how he can defeat his darker side. He was later on told the story of Killer Bee when he was a child.

The Background check on Killer Bee showed Naruto the similarities’ they had as a kid. He too was avoided and feared by the people being a host to the eight tails. However he didn't care and just rap-on his beat being cheerful as always. Another plus factor on the reason why he didn't fail the trial of the fountain was possible due to his brother the Raikage of the village. It was also there that Naruto learned that the tailed monsters were sealed in the bodies of the leaders of the nations--so the host would never betray their villages.

Meanwhile, the eight tailed monster, Hachibi, was convincing Killer Bee to train Naruto. He was fooling around with the other beasts in the island, friends for Bee who look up to him as a master. However even with the Hachibi telling him he still refused to help Naruto. Hachibi was once wild and was once uncontrollable, however Bee-san had changed him and that the tailed monster acknowledge very much.

Chapter 493 ended with Naruto asking Motoi to help him ask Bee to train him again. However Motoi refused saying that he was unworthy; he had tried to kill Bee before. The next chapter 494 would follow Hachibi's revelation of his Bloody Past from 30 years ago as told by Motoi.

It may be hanging at this point but there is excitement as background check of how Bee's past as a child was shown. I just hope the next one would come soon.

First Take of Vampire Knight

2010-05-12T08:05:00.000-07:00

"Blood drinking monsters, who disguise themselves as Human - VAMPIRES"

Vampire Knight has presently become a great interest just like Naruto (LOL...). However before I start off with the latest here's something to at least give readers a head-start background check (in case you wish to either watch the anime or read the manga).

Cross Academy is the first setting. Yuuki Cross is the adopted daughter of the chairman of the said school. She is also a prefect together with zero Kiryuuki. However their role as perfects is a disguise to their roles as guardians.

Background check on Cross academy: the school has two sections, the day class and the night class. It is the guardians' duty to secure that the secret of the night class are not known to the day class in as much as the night class would not cause any trouble. The secret they must protect is that the night class is composed of vampires (in the eyes of the day class the night class are a group of elite students).

The night class is led by Kaname Kuran. Among all the vampires he is seen as to have a special attachment to Yuuki which even the vampire world seems to wonder why. In the manga Yuuki was referred to as Kaname-sama's precious one. For Yuuki the reason behind such treatment can be traced back ten years ago.

Kaname had once saved yuuki from an evil vampire. From then on all Yuuki can remember is that Kaname was that good vampire who had saved her and then there was nothing more than that. She can’t remember who she was or where she came from. It was due to her lost of memory that she did her own background search on her past which seems to be held back by some force.

Zero is another adopted child by chairman cross. He came from the long line of vampire hunters, however when his parents were killed by a pureblood, with him surviving the attack, he had then changed. He was once cheerful and kind but after the incident he had grown quiet and cold. He had hated purebloods more.

Vampires are composed of three categories: the ex-human or “Level E” who are bitten and turned into vampires (eventually they will lose their sense of placement and become beasts in their own); the nobles; and the purebloods (who have special ability and are considered as the ruling class). Kaname is a pureblood decent. after Zero's home was attacked by a pureblood, Zero is presently an ex-human type of vampire.

There are many exciting stuff to know more on vampire hunter but I guess it's best to leave this a bit hanging. We don't want to ruin the reader's thirst--I mean hunger--err, interest in getting their eyes set on vampire knight. It’s up to you guys to do your own background search on characters.

Anime Episode 159 of Naruto Shippuden: Kakashi vs. Pain

2010-04-29T13:32:00.000-07:00

"Hatake Kakashi is a cool man who does'nt risk his life lightly...But now his putting his life on the line. The Spirit Of Fire Burns Within Him."

This week's release of Naruto's anime series shows Kakashi fighting Pain.

Pain attacks Konoha with Konan and the six faces of pain as an attempt to catch Naruto, the host of the nine tailed fox (kyubi). It can be recalled that the previous chapters shows the Akatsuki, where Pain is the leader, as they do people search—those who carry biju called the jinchuuriki. With the attack, Tsunade gives out order for Naruto to return, however he decision is doubted by the elders. As she tries to persuade them Kakashi and Pain gets into a face off--Kakashi trying to figure out Pain's abilities.

It can be remembered in previous chapters that Pain killed Jaraiya who had already sent out a secret code for them to determine who Pain really was. This episode shows Kakashi trying to figure out Pain's true powers and who he really was. He had been warned by one of the elder toad, Fukasaku, who even recognized Pain's powers as something unbeatable if not understood.

Pain was once part of the Amegakure who became people finder in search in want of peace. During the time he searched for the tailed monster he was already one of the Akatsuki who takes on the bodies of all whom Jaraiya had once fought against. The said hosts represent the "six Paths to Pain", one of which is Yahiko, the former leader of the Amegakure. Jaraiya was Pain's mentor.

Another Hell Girl Episode: Emma’s first chapter

2010-04-27T07:42:00.000-07:00

"Dashing through the Eras crossing over space, GOOD, EVIL, YOUNG, OLD. The young girl from the Land of the Dead will appear."

After enjoying Hell Girl Ai Enma, I came across another Hell girl whose name is Emma.
The first chapter to Hell Girl Emma presents the evil Onimasa Sama who'll rage war against Mizusawa. They say he's just pure wickedness as he'll kill anyone who comes about his path. No one in the village can understand and feels more pity for his wife--the princess Amacha-sama who’s from the Mizusawa clan.

Emma happens to have just come in their place. During those times rumors have already spread that a monster is ripping off bones from bodies in the battle field. Emma, who heard this admitted she was the one, however Onimasa thought she was lying and find her amusing.

Onimasa brought Emma to his quarters thinking he could do a background check on the girl and see whether she just lost her mind or has an idea regarding the said rumor. He then laughed at her story of being the person responsible for ripping the bones off people's bodies. Furthermore she even claimed to have been sent by Lord Enma to search for people who have sinned greatly that cause much death including a war. Laughing over the story Onimasa then turned to his little wife, whom he kept in a little cell.

Apache, whom Onimasa Sama called his little wife, is a princess from the Mizusawa clan. It is also the clan which Onimasa wages war in. At this part Emma found out that Amacha cared for Onimasa, remembering all those times when she seemed to be protected and cared for by Onimasa. Even if Onimasa broke her cell on purpose she still won't leave him.

Before Onimasa left his wife with Emma, one of his men confirmed about the monster that is ripping the bones in the battle field—he was frightened as he saw Emma. It was however when Onimasa had a talk with Emma after he went to his men that was warned that his bones will be ripped off him once he continued on with the war. He then agreed and challenged her to do so anytime she wants. As the war came, Emma then appeared on the battlefield and started to fight him to collect his bones. Amacha then came in a horse and tried to stop her.

It seems that no matter how Amacha protected Onimasa, Emma told her it was her destiny to see her husband's death. His bones ware then immediately pulled out his bones.

Indeed Onimasa sama died in front of his men and his wife. It wasn’t surprising to find people both soldiers of Onimasa and of Mizusawa who rejoiced when the evil lord died. Immediately they all retreated and rejoiced since no one died (except for the evil lord). However the princess Apache was saddened and asked why Emma still continued with her kill. Emma did explain her part and went home to her master. when she came back to Enma however she was still bothered in confusion about how humans loved and was willing to die for the person's they love.

It is still the first chapter and I must admit this is an interesting story to look forward to. After Hell girl Ai Enma this is definitely something new and more of an action part rather than a story per story drama. Take the part where there are certain background check stories on the so called evil doers—surprising to find even a softer humane part of them hidden. It's definitely one for the look-out.

Naruto Shiuppuden Chapter 492: Greetings

2010-04-26T08:55:00.000-07:00

"Greetings" have been released! Naruto Shippuden's chapter 492 is out and about at manga networks.

The follow-up to 491 which shows Naruto's curiosity as to the "octopus" he'll meet in the prophecy. Things will finally be clear to Naruto as to why he was seen with such.

After thinking that the Octopus, whom he sees as Killer Bee, is going to lead him, he realizes that there is a more special purpose as to why he met him.

Background check in the previous chapters already introduces Killer Bee as a Hachibi. Being good at controlling it Naruto then had this assumption that he is in fact there to be taught on how to control the Kyubi.

He then approaches Killer Bee and asked him to teach how to control a Biju. However he was denied. Naruto then thought of giving out a cool rap (as Naruto learns his Enka Rap style) which the Hachibi liked very much. In return the Hachibi taught him to start a greeting with a bump fists then asked to give him a beat. Naruto did as he was told but saw the confusion of Killer Bee after he gave out his "beat". to get his approval he did his Harem No Jutsu--which gave no effect.

Naruto was denied again on being taught on how to control the Kyubi. He then went to a person who has given the information about Killer Bee. The last portion of the chapter shows Naruto being led to the Water Fall of Truth. It was here that he faced his darker side.

This chapter is what usually find people hooked up on Naruto. Other than the action, it's his comical antic and his strong determination that made his character one of a kind--a person who still smiles despite the difficulty.

I must say that this chapter actually is a lot better than the previous with the conversations and the lighter mood it presents.

Public Records Naruto Shippuden chapter 491: Confining the Host

2010-04-23T12:16:00.000-07:00

For those who have missed out on Naruto Shippuden, here's a recap before proceeding to the newest chapter release.

Sasuke is now part of the Akatsuki and as a member he is tasked to collect the tailed monsters which background check of characterizes it as the highest form presently sealed within Naruto's body. After Tsunade woke up and after the Kages agreed, The Kyubi (Naruto) and the Hachibi (the one sealed in Bee- eight tails) are agreed to be confined in an island as means of protecting them.

Chapter 491 of Naruto Shippuden talks about the confinement of Naruto and Bee in an island. In a background check of previous chapters, Naruto was given a prophecy and the seal to the kyubi. In the prophecy he was told that he'll be fighting with a boy with power in his eyes meaning Uchiha Sasuke which he already challenged the last time they saw each other. Furthermore into the prophecy he was told that he'll meet an octopus in an island.

Naruto and Bee, with the Akatsuki after them, was agreed to be confined in an island. In the meeting of the kages, Bee's brother recommended the said place where he and his brother (bee) once trained. Although Tsunade refused to take the two to confinement, she later on agreed after hearing Gaara's words that Naruto will do everything to protect his friends.

Naruto and a team immediately traveled to the said island. In the trip Naruto is excited expecting to meet the said octopus as he was told he'll meet. However his comrades think otherwise knowing what really the intention of their journey was. Upon reaching Naruto was disappointed seeing a sort of Death Valley for an island rather than what he was thinking of—a paradise. Before the captain could give out a certain warning a squid attacked them which Naruto had first thought of as an Octopus. This is definitely a moment to laugh at for Naruto's comic innocence thinking that it was an octopus. In the end Naruto did meet the octopus when it fought the squid off the ship.

Public records on Naruto’s Chapter 491 shows it as indeed one of the lightening parts of the manga after the fights and the sad portions of friends departing and families reuniting (and eventually going apart). However it lacked neither the color nor the enthusiasm as the others contain yet it was indeed comical.

Here’s a hope that the next one is sure to be more exciting than the first.

Coming of Age Manga Onobori Monogatari to Become a Live Action Film

2010-04-19T06:23:00.000-07:00

Coming of age has been one of the greatest facets that every man is interested in. firstly each person has a unique background: not all the well off can be considered content in life and not all impoverish can be said as indeed "poor"; and secondly because of the fact that we love to compare, ask advices and so on and so forth that makes us talk about ourselves and if not of others. Coming of age is said to a person's transition from childhood to adulthood where the age when this takes place varies in the society.

For a must-seen coming-of-age flick, the 4-panel manga Onobori Monogatari will be going to the big screens in a live-action film starring Yosio Inoue. The film will premiere in Japan this coming July 17, 2010.

The Epic Adventure: Vision of Escaflowne

2010-04-13T08:54:00.000-07:00

This is perhaps one of the best animes to hit the 90's. It was one of those moments that when people look for drama, adventure and that alternate universe where there are choices to be made, courage to conjure and wisdom to guide--it was the perfect anime indeed.

Vision of Escaflowne was a 26 Japanese anime television episode series that was produced by sunrise Studio and directed by Kazuki Akane. It started airing April 2, 1996 on TV Tokyo and lasted till September 24, 1996.

It presented the story of a girl named Hitomi Kanzaki who was transported to a world named Gaea where she sees Earth as its moon known as a mystic moon. Hitomi has latent psychic powers which were enhanced in this world. she gets involved in the conflicts of Zaiback and several peaceful countries that surrounds it. It was the Zaiback empire who brought about the conflicts and as they try to retrieve legendary power from Atlantis. It was in these adventures that the true nature of Atlantis ad of Gaea is revealed.

It contains one of the most memorable characters. There's Allen Schezar and of course everybody's favorite guy for Hitomi Prince Van Fanel who happen to have and Atlantean mother.

The twist, the mystery the excitement of romance and adventure and the search for the unknown is what makes this one of the best animes ever to hit the screens. After this epic adventure it seems that the rest needs to get into the touch of alternate universes and action that is tangible yet is every inch magic.

Funimation announces free episode posts

Flushed: God(?) Save the King!

2010-03-26T09:14:00.000-07:00

One of the best anime to hit the screens....

It was one weird twist....or is it?

His known world is different from the world he was born to rule. Just imagine yourself living a normal life in this world then suddenly gets flushed in this alternate world where you are a powerful demon king.

Yuri Shinbuya was just a normal 15 year old boy in Japan who grew up in a normal family (one with a mom, a dad, and a big brother). He loves baseball, one of the great sports his father loves. It turns out his father is a demon from the Great Demon Kingdom making him and his brother have powers that control water. Although their parents never told them about this fact it was but fate that Yuri had to be pulled in the water and turned up in the Demon Kingdom.

Yuri is the chosen king for the great demon kingdom (and this, his parents didn't even tell him). He was already selected by birth some 4,000 years ago. Yuri also gets to stay in this world with his friend Murata, whom he was protecting when he was accidentally gets transported to the Demon World. This friend surprisingly is the reincarnated friend of the Great one (the first Demon King) named the Wise One.

Shori, Yuri’s older brother believes that something’s up with the wise one and the great one in the past. He is also uncertain whether the rest can even protect his brother so in the end he can't be blamed for always being there and tries to overdo him just to protect his brother.

There are many queries waiting to be solved in this epic adventure. This is one fantasy series designed in the tradition of Escaflowne.
GOD (?) SAVE the KING!

FINAL FANTASY X-2: YUNA’S SEARCH FOR TIDUS

2010-03-19T11:38:00.000-07:00

It was played and this is what I believe the only Final Fantasy to have a two part series.

If you were one of those who have enjoyed Final Fantasy X-2 definitely you're very much aware of the first series. But if not then you're missing a lot. It is also very evident that Yuna is the only girl hero of the said Final Fantasy franchise. She was also a main character from its first part but her love interest-slash-blitz ball player Tidus is the real hero.

The end of the Final Fantasy X was sad since Tidus disappeared after defeating the enemy named Sin. Yuna, who has become a summoner, had settled a quiet life, however after she was shown a video of a man imprisoned that looked like Tidus, she set off to know who he was. She was then in search of ways that may lead her to her beloved's whereabouts.

It is a fact that Tidus actually comes from the past where he plays Blitz ball. He was then brought to the future thousand years later from where he came from showing a rather densed area.

After two years since they defeated the Sin Yuna now has new adventure to run on her own as she is in search of Tidus. It's a cool look for our summoner as the FF X-2 begins in concert setting (Yuna's concert). It introduces two of her companions, Rikku and Paine.

the said game is the only Final Fantasy not only to display a girl as its main hero but also show only three characters to be on play at all times.

For those curious enough as to the story of Yuna and those romantic flashbacks with Tidus, check out the music video of 1000 memories/ words. This is one song that really captures the heart, sort of showing those unsaid words that should have been said during the times Tidus was present or if He was present those times.

For the viewing pleasure of this scene plus the moving music, check out compiled videos of the said show and enjoy.

THE GUYVER

2010-03-18T07:40:00.000-07:00

While browsing you tube on the latest anime, one particular anime caught my eyes. Firstly I'm a big anime lover of those nineties flick like Ninja Robots and Voltron (but actually these really started in the 80s). However getting into all the action on anime back then was a blast. This is the reason why when it comes to the anime Guyver, I can't help but clicking it.

The way the anime rolled was in fact very 90s plus the story which proved me right. It seems that today's anime is focused either on different drama reality genre to the action filled yet has based there story line on their mythologies.

Guyver is one anime based on the popularity of Star Wars and even the very famous TV series Star Trek.

It was all about aliens. The Guyver started as a manga during the eighties created by Yoshiki Takaya. It tells about an Alien device merges with the hero Sho Fukamachi, a high school student who discovers the said stolen device, turning him into a living bio weapon. The gayer is even alive creating its armaments for itself.

The plot gets more interesting as the Guyver must defend itself from the corporation who wants the suit back. It was Chronos who has genetically engineered humans to transform to monsters at will.

The Guyver anime got a remake version from the US changing there Japanese high school hero to a college student by the name of Sean Baker. Same plot and same beginning where the Doctor for the Chronus Corporation stole the said alien device.

For those who are looking for an interesting addition to your collection of past amine’s the guyver is definitely one for you to enjoy.

TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE FULL TRAILER—Finally!!!

2010-03-12T12:47:00.000-08:00

Ok for now it's a rest from the anime although what I'm about to share (and I think the title of my blog made it obvious) is something that I definitely wish were an anime (and it would fit perfectly like charm).

Keeping all my readers up to date (for the whole world seems to can't wait either) is the full trailer of TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. It's one great treat for all the fans especially the girls who keep screaming Robert Pattinson's name (and at times cry crazy over him--by the way Kristen was hot at the Oscars).

The teaser to this trailer was released a day before (March 11, 2010) which immediately seized great attention from online buddies. it immediately gained fleeting reactions from the ladies especially with Jacob Black's "I'm gonna fight for you until your heart stops beating." for those who have read the book this is one familiar line and can easily understand what he meant by this especially with the heart stopping thing (not telling anymore-don't want to kill the excitement..hehe).

Without further ado here it is the full trailer to the third installment of that vampire romance story Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

CONAN AND THE PHANTOM OF BAKER STREET: REVIEW

2010-03-02T11:15:00.000-08:00

Life is indeed full of mysteries waiting to be solved. In Detective Conan's Case Closed Movie 6: The Phantom Baker Street, Conan is trapped inside a virtual reality game set in the late 19th century London where the case is none other than one of the said era's unsolved cases--that against Jack the Ripper.

It was called Noah's Ark, an artificial intelligence designed by a boy genius named Hiroki Sawada, a ten year old graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was then taken under the wings of Thomas Schindler Tsar of the IT Industry. At the completion of the said project, Hiroki committed suicide. Two years later his project was used in the virtual reality game where during its initial usage, 50 kids were asked to join including Conan and his friends. However it was during the game when they were hooked up in the dilemma they never thought they'd get involved in.

It’s a tight gripping story that is sure to leave everyone's eyes fixated on the screen and their brains hooked up on the mystery like morphine. There are many secret that are revealed that is sure to really surprise anyone. The plot was great more than the usual episodes Conan gives us.

For the anime lover who's pretty much into mystery and adventure, here's a gripping tale of Conan and his hunt for Jack the Ripper.

FINAL FANTASY FEMME FETALS

2010-03-01T08:15:00.000-08:00

I am indeed a Final Fantasy addict. Let’s face it that after all this time I still look forward for the moment when my youngest brother (for my other brother is far from home as of the moment) would begin playing this RPG we both oh so love. I don’t play it more than he does since this better that I could. Also think of the fact that it’s like reading a novel in an interactive way—this would definitely be cool with all your concentration on the reading of their conversation (actually I’m not that good with battling with monsters—at least at some part).

For any Final Fantasy player the best thing to watch out would be the girls. Tiffa of Final Fantasy 7 who actually kick ass and box; Rinoa of Final Fantasy 8 (the best Final Fantasy I’ve seen—because it seems different due to the awkward love story); and there’s Yuna who is originally seen in Final Fantasy 10 her coolest so far in Final Fantasy 10-2. They are totally cool as can be plus the fact that they are hot.

To know what I’m talking about here are videos showing off Tiffa with background music of her lovely theme (not to mention fan made lyrics that is sooooo amazing), Rinoa and Squall in their dance and the opening of the final Fantasy X-2 featuring Yuna’s concert.

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.

AI ENMA: HELL GIRL

2010-02-23T11:43:00.000-08:00

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.

A song I just want to share

2010-02-19T11:01:00.000-08:00

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..."

More of Drawing: Graffiti Style

2010-02-18T06:05:00.000-08:00

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….

How to Draw Anime

2010-02-16T13:08:00.000-08:00

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.

Pics for Treats: Cosplay takes from an Anime Fan

2010-02-12T12:27:00.000-08:00

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:

Naruto Cosplay

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

Spider Woman’s Animated Trailer

2010-02-12T11:31:00.000-08:00

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!!!

AMV of FF7 featuring the song Angels

2010-02-09T08:44:00.000-08:00

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.

To all Anime Lovers like me

2010-02-08T13:45:00.000-08:00

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….
