So I just realized I never posted anything about Spice and Wolf. This would be considered a Underground Anime at this point, it's very good but not too much at all known. It's just coming out now by each episode. It's about the old legend of a wolf named Horo, making a treaty with a village to bring them crops but then the village doesn't need the wolf anymore. And so she goes off and travels around in secret with a merchant. It's really adorable and I would suggest watching it.
NOTE: This is not an Anime for the kiddies, there are some scenes of suggestive materal and nudity.
Well come on a wolf doesn't wear clothes, can't expect Horo too either. ^__~
I decided to pick it up from Borders the other day because I recognized it from somewhere. When I got to Gamers Choice I realized why, I saw Robert with it one day. And here is my review of Mushishi Vol. 1.
This is not the Manga to pick up if you just want a quick read. There are a lot of indepth details that are worth taking 5 minutes to read over and over. The artwork is very realistic for being a Manga and sticks to a very nice Feudal Japan theme. The story is wonderful, if you liked XXXHolic you will love this. Solving odd Supernatural Folk Tales and myths. If you would like learning more about the Japanese Superstition I would advise picking up this Manga series. This is not your normal cute Anime girl series, this is your serious demon investigating series, which shouldn't be taken lightly.
I'm not sure if he will ever come across this or not but I just found a friend from school on Youtube at an Anime Convention. And I decided to give a shout out to him. Hello Jesse!
Okay this Anime is down right strange, from the opening credits straight to the end credits. The plot is rather interesting, nothing that I've ever seen before. This Anime would be really good if it wasn't for the strange blue creatures. I must admit I'm still wondering myself if this Anime is really worth watching anymore of. As perverted as this may sound the only time the Anime has gotten good and with at least a stable plot, is when the main character makes an H Game. And so far that is where I am at in the Anime. The whole thing is really weird.
The main character himself is just a different story, for the main reason that he is a story all in himself. Hasn't left his house for about three years and just now getting help from this random girl. It well just seems alittle TOO strange. Well here is some Otaku advice, you need to watch it and you'll find out whether you like it or not. And yes, you'll either love it or hate it. Or just be like me, confused....
Sitting in Gamers Choice today, Robert, my co-worker asked if I liked Fullmetal Alchemist. I nodded my head and got a DVD put into my hands. Vol. 4 of FMA. He had it saved but already had it at home so decided to give it to me to buy. And while there I noticed a stack of new DVDs, within it I found Vol. 1 of Steam Detectives. I had never heard of it before and thought it would be awesome to check it out. So here is what I bought:
As I said in a previous post I got the chance to go to Zen Garden. Well today Niku said he had a gift for me. And low and behold, it was something from Zen Garden. The boxset of the Japanese Neon Genesis Evangelion Manga:
It's really cool cause if you look closely at the volume numbers, below it was 1-4 and 5-9. Within these two volumes is actually volumes 1-9. I thought it was the neatest thing ever. Each page actually has 4 pages on them. ^^
Otaku Dan wanted to start this as a new blogger trend, so I decided to jump on the wagon. This is my second bag that I carry. The first on was a Kitty bag named Emo B. Kitty but the zipper broke and I couldn't carry it anymore. So this is my coffin bag:
Items within my coffin bag:
Hair Brush
House key
Kitty Change purse
Headphones
USB Flashdrives x2
Noki ^^ My Cellphone
Lighter (NOTE: I do not smoke, but I am a pyro)
Paper/Pens
Lip Balm
Nintendo DS
This is attached to my Kitty Change Purse. Which Otaku Dan got for me awhile ago. ^^ Gekkostate keychain~
So every once in a while I am actually able to go to the mall and go to one of my favorite stores... Zen Garden! ^^ So running on a 7 dollars this is what I got:
Yes I actually went to see the movie ^^ All thanks to Santiago ("That guy") and being able to ride on the back of a bike in the rain. XD So after no further ado I present the Review for Death Note the Movie:
I have one thing to say off the bat.... Apples? Some of the most funniest lines came from Ryuk wanting Apples. A Death God couldn't be any cuter when begging for apples. One annoying thing about watching Death Note in the theater was all the fan girl squeals when certain characters came on screen. -coughLcough- The movie was pretty good. It was 2 hours and 30 minutes but most of that was just people talking. So they could have shortened it to about a hour and a half. I must say though that one of the most horrible things about it was the Dubbing I would have rather sat in the theater and read subtitles than have to deal with Godzilla dubbing. The cast wasn't bad but the only character that really LOOKED like how he was to was L, everyone else looked too Japanese like Misa who was not blonde and it pissed me off to the point I didn't even reconize the character when she came on screen. And Light could have used a few highlights in his hair to make him seem more brownish. But other than that not much to complain on. XD
The whole thing was enjoyable to watch but it sucks that it was only Part 1 of 2 and I'm sure they are going to do the second part rather bad. Which do they go with, the Manga or the Anime? I guess we will just have to wait and see.
For 2 nights only, Death Note the Movie is coming to the Gulf Coast Town Center movie theater. May 20th and 21st. I have been begging my mother to take me to see it for about 2 days now. She can tolerate Anime but she just doesn't want to have to read to watch a movie. Us Otaku ^^ I think we're used to it. XD
Hopefully I will be able to write a review about the movie, and if not I'll be crying about it the next day. Well for those going to go see it, enjoy and drop me a comment of what you thought about it. ^^
So I wanted to try out a new layout, I sort of got bored of the last one. So readers please do not flip out there is nothing wrong with you computer screens. XD Well not much at aleast.
I'M DYING!!! The Sun f***ing sun hurts like hell. I got a really really really bad sun burn from the beach yesterday and it sucks!! And to prove it to you I found this the other day and decided this was perfect to go with my sun burn.
One word.... WOW! Prom night was so much fun! And I just got home from a day at Fort Myers Beach. It was so much fun. ~_^ I doubt my Anime Fans would want to hear about it. So I'm going to save the daily life crap for another day. I have pictures I want to post though so I'll do that as I get them. Tomorrow I'll get back to the Anime World... XD
"Every character in this Anime is Shinji Ikari, they have the potential to be cool but never live up to it." -Robert
"If I had the characters of Wolf's Rain a christmas present I would get them each a box of razor blades and a bottle of peroxide." -Robert
[Completed the Series]
First off, thank you Isio for commenting, you actually pushed me on to watch the rest of the Anime. So here is my last and Final review of Wolf's Rain:
Okay I noticed something strange from Episode 15-17 were just repeats of past episodes and a complete waste the time to watch. I have to admit though I cried at the end, I am a sucker for the uber sad Anime endings.
EVERYONE DIES! The episode that really got me was when Toboe dies protecting Pops. And when Blue dies with Hige at her side. Then I thought it was rather F'ed up that Hige wanted Tsume to kill him. Cause the first thing that went through my mind was "Dude Tsume now has to live knowing that it was HIM who killed Hige and not Darcia." But of course soon after Tsume dies, and rather shitty to cause he is like "looks down and oh shit I'm bleeding too badly... dies" no badassness no nothing. So it sucked. I expected a more epic battle with Kiba and Darcia and it was F'ed up that Darica just goes Pooof and Everything is good. Then of course the world just goes blank and restarts. Ummmm Neon Genesis Evangelion much?
I have came down to the conclusion that it sucks even though I cried abit. The characters were MUCH better than the plot line. Oh and I noticed which for anyone who is finishing the series. Listen to the song at the end it is "Stray". Well I figured it ALL out! That when you complete the series, you have to watch the opening one last time. That opening is the very very end of the series.
So after creating my beta logo, I sat down and looked closely at it and realized... I hated it. It looks tooooo much like the Kiki Kitty from Gaiaonline. So I decided I would create a different character. I need ideas so start sending them.
So today I decided that seeing that I made Otaku Dan a nifty cool logo. I figured it was about time I got one. Tell me what you think and what I should do with it. So here is the prototype:
Okay so Otaku Dan and I decided we were going to make our own Anime Club. I have before hosted an Anime Club at Lehigh Senior High School. So I tend to know how it goes but for those out there who don't here are some ideas to get you started:
How to Make an Anime Club
Figure out who is going to lead the group whether it be you or someone else
If it's on School Campus, ask teachers that you think are into to Anime to Sponser your club
Set up what you plan to do and what you can or can not do
Find a location and when to have host it, come up with a day or time that will fit you the best so your not stressing to put things together for it
Advertise - Seems the best way to do it is word of mouth, have a club poster on you or talk to those people you see drawing Anime
Once you get enough people interested start with official meetings
Remember you may get a huge amount of people one week but very little the next. It's okay you'll soon find out who is really dedicated and who isn't.
It's up to you if you would want to supply food at the meeting but I would advise against it. Then you have your people coming in to just eat and that's never good. If you still want to plan to have food do it on special days, like having a Ramen party or a cake for a birthday.
If you would like more information or some more help on getting started or event ideas. Drop me a line and comment it! ^^
