Lucy is the Strongest and Natsu Cries?

This week on Fairy Tail...

Lucy was sent to Edolas by Mystogan and she can use magic because he gave her a pill. That now makes Lucy the strongest member of Fairy Tail! Ha! I love that Lucy gets to be the strongest, but I don't think she is up to the task. She has the talent to overcome a lot, however she does not have the experience. It really showed when she freaked out because Virgo came instead of Loke. She should have just used Virgo instead of telling her to go away. They are lucky Edolas Natsu came and saved them.

Speaking of the Edolas Natsu, man I couldn't believe that man cried. I was in love with him until I saw the wimpy baby tears. I think he is cuter than Earthland Natsu and a little taller. Edolas Natsu acts older to me.The car he had was pretty cool but he is way different than the Earthland Natsu.

This episode really left me wondering about where Mystogan is and what he is doing. I also finally came to the realization that Mystogan is from Edolas and is not the twin of Jellal. I believe in order for Lucy, Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel,  Happy and Carla to be successful they are going to need Mystogan. Hopefully he will meet them in the Royal City.

On a last note, where is Makarov? I thought we would see the Edolas version of him. Who runs the Edolas Fairy Tail? I don't think it could seriously be Lucy. Let me know where you think the old man is.

Bleach is Turning Up the Heat

And the story deepends...

So this week in Bleach the fighting continues. This episodes starts out with Kuchki, Hitsugaya, Kenpachi, and Kamamura going back to the Soul Society. As they went through the Precipice World, Kamamura ended up staying behind in order to ensure the others made it through. Once the others made it through, they split up to find Inaba.

Kenpachi ran into is copy on the way. This was one of the battles I was waiting for. Kenpachi versus a more bloodthirsty Kenpachi. This battle is satisfying. Both Kenpachi's came with all they had. They behaved the same, which I found to be funny becuase they were like saying the same thing to each other. The fighting in the rain was super dramatic. It was also nice to see Kenpachi fight for more than just the sake of violence. For once, he had a proper reason to go on.

The squad 4 captain is in a lot of trouble. She went into a closed room with Inaba and her Lieutenant just to find out her lieutenant is a reigai. Now, she may be facing a battle with her reigai and her lieutentant. I am praying that we get the chance to see Unohana fight. It is always the peaceful ones that have the best skills just lying dormant. I believe it will be a great battle! I don't think we will see her fight again. This may be the only opportunity for her defeat someone in battle.

Yama-jii is still fighting Sunsui-reigai and Ukitake-reigai. The old man actually thinks the match will end in a draw. I am really excited at the possible chance to see his bankai. I wonder if he can go to a third level like Ichigo. I thnk it easy to forget that Sunsui and Ukitake were students of Yama-jii and that they have both been capatains for over 100 years.

On a last note I don't know if I'm seeing things, but did the drawing for Kenpachi's battle look extra artistic? I found the style to be more detailed than usual. Maybe it was because of the rain but let me know what you think. Also, does anyone else believe we will have the chance to see Unohana fight this arc?

Best Battle of the Week Goes to Nemu

Bleach last week was awesome. More fighting has started. I was happy to see the ladies join the fight. They seemed to deal better with reigai than the men. Rangiku handled Kira-reigai and she didn't do it with strength she did it using smarts. The only way to defeat someone stronger than you is to out smart them and create a better strategy. Nemu was just amazing. Her fight was intriguing and I wanted to watch it all day. She quickly killed her reigai. Unfortunately, Rukia's inability to defeat hers resulted in Rangiku and Nemu being surprised attacked by Rukia-reigai.

Green Head is being upgraded to Nozomi because she has finally shown some character. She does wish to keep the others safe. Kon is taking her to a shrine that has many gates.  ?_? What ever this means. I wonder why this place is so important and how it will defeat Inaba.

Meanwhile back in the Soul Society, Shunsui has been placed in jail by Central 46. Ukitake freed him from jail just to be attacked by him because he is, of course, a reigai. The good thing is that now Unohana knows there is something wrong. I hope we get to see her fight. I like her bankai, but I really want to see her fight. Im sure she has some real good skills.


Will Rangiku and the ladies recover from their defeat by Rukia-reigai? Will Nozomi and Kon reach their destination in time to stop Inaba? What are Inaba's plans? Will Old Man Yamamoto figure out whats going on before its to late? Please let me know what you think will happen.

Respect Your Local Priest

I went to the movies last night and saw Priest. It was pretty freakin AWESOME O_O

The movie is based on the 1998 manhwa(korean manga) Priest by Hyung Min-woo. It is about a world were there has always been vampires. The best hope for humanity lies with the church who has special priests who have the skills to combat the vampires. I to want saw more but I don't want to spoil the movie.

Paul Bettany was amazing. His action sequences had you on the edge of your seat and the slow motion was just right. I would just freeze every time there was a fight scene. Some scenes are gory and others remind me of a horror film. The first vampire I saw scared the crap out of me. I think I spilled slushy on my shirt. Along with Bettany, Maggie Q was great. I would have like to see her fight more. She has some great skills.

This movie has more to offer than just great action sequences. There is a great story about sacrifice, using God to control people and trying to have a good life in a crappy world. I found it to be a little short.  The movie is only 87 minutes but I think that was due to all the production problems. It is my hope Priest becomes a series. The manhwa ran from 1998-2007 so there is plenty of material. It also faired well in the box office this week coming in 4th on its opening weekend. Over all, this movie proved it is possible to turn a manga into an entertaining and well made film.

Erza is One Scary Lady

Konnichiwa

The end of Fairy Tail this week was fantastic! But first a quick recap. Natsu, Happy, Wendy, and Carla are at the Fairy Tail guild in Edolas still taking in the new personalities of their friends. Major shocker LISANNA is ALIVE! O_O Fairy Tail is the only guild left and they are on the run from the fairy hunter, ERZA. Also, I guess cats are Exceeds.  I don't know what that means but they seem have some serious power. The last major development, the Earthland Fairy Tails wizards are in the Royal City! However, they have been turned into lacrima! T_T

I feel like this week laid all the heavy stuff on me at the end. Why does Erza have to be the enemy? Also, she looked seriously tense. I was scared ._.  I guess that's how she would have turned out without friends. Then to find out that everyone was turned into lacrima! It was just too much! How can that even be undone? Are we just gonna be stuck will this new group? Natsu and Wendy have their work cut out.

Teenage Wendy is kinda hot! <3 I was surprised to see like Wendy older. How did that happen? The best thing that happened in this episode is Natsu getting to see Lisanna alive! His first love just came back to life! I wanted to jump up and down with him. He has harbored some serious feeling because her death. She is going to make leaving Edolas really difficult but he will have to have the strength to move on. Next week should give us more info. ^_^

Reigai V.S. Originals!

Konbonwa ^_^

Bleach this week was very exciting. The first round of original v.s. reigai battles has started. Ikkaku,Omaeda,Hisagi and Ayasegawa all are against their reigai and it seems that the copies have won. For starters, Omaeda's copy looks ten times better than him! LOL! I don't know how they can replace Omaeda with Omaeda-reigai. They look nothing alike. Secondly, I can't believe Ikkaku lost, but then I have to remember that the copies are more bloodlust than them and Ikkaku was pretty crazy to begin with  I'm starting to think that in order for the originals are going to have use the fact that they have been fighting longer to get the upper hand on the copies,. Their battle experience should prove to be why they win.

I am worried about Ukitake and Shunsui. Upon hearing that Ichigo was suspected of foul play those two go and check the Precipice World records. Just as they see they records don't match they get arrested. Also, Inaba seems to be moving forward on his plans. I wonder what he is up too ?_? I really want to know this guy's story.

One more thing, am I the only one dissapointed in the Old Man? I expect him to know things are wrong. I feel like the copies' spirtual pressure is different than the originals and that he would be able so sense that. Let me know how you feel about this. 

I will have a review of this weeks Fairy Tail up tomorrow and sometime next week I will add FMA:Brotherhood. ^_^

*Side Note: I have no clue who is reading this. Please let me know what you think I NEED feedback. Also, if there are any shows you would like me to follow let me know. -_-

The Elric Brothers Are Hitting the Big Screen Again And Why Is Freezing Like Soft Core Porn!

I was going to do this tomorrow but I can't sleep.-_-zZ

A second Full Metal Alchemist movie is being released in Japan in July! Its name is The Second Star of Milos. I have no clue what the movie is about because all the information I found on it is in Japanese. T_T I do know however that L'Arc-en-Ciel did the theme song for the movie and it sounds amazing, of course! L'Arc-en-Ciel song I believe the second opening for FMA(Ready Steady Go!). I watched the trailer(its below WATCH IT!) and it looks pretty interesting. The movie is supposed to be after FMA:Brotherhood. There are some characters I haven't seen before, but that may be because I am watching the English dub of FMA:Brotherhood. I'm going to do my best to find a description of this movie! >_<# 
The other thing I wanted to talk about is Freezing. For starters, these are the faces I made last night when I watched it: ^_^   O_O   @_@   >_<;    ._.   T_T    O_o

Now let me explain this. When I first started watching this show it was the Funimation production of the show and I loved it! ^_^  Then I thought I was clever because I was going to watch it without commercials. Well, the non Funimation version is quite different. O_O There were just so many breasts dangling. @_@ The underwear was stressful enough >_<; Why Why WHY! ._. Now I have to go back to watching it with commercials to avoid the supper Ecchi but should be called Hentai show T_T I just don't know why anyone would make something with a good storyline look like that O_o

I know I just spent like 100 words describing some not happy feelings but that's because I'm a lady. Freezing is a really good show. It really reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion and  Aquarion mixed together. I usually aviod ecchi and harem anime because I like to see men but this show rocks! The main characters are in school to become Pandora and fight off invaders called Nova. Every Pandora needs a partner called a Limiter. This definetly a shonen for you shonen lovers. I have only watched the first 7 episodes but this is definetly a keeper. Please check it out. You should like it in the first 2 episodes and it really starts heating up around episode 6. (I know this is a horrible description but check out the show!)

*Side note: Please watch the Funimation version that is unless you wish to see anime boobs. ^_^

What Does Akira, Bleach, Ghost in the Shell and Ninja School Have in Common?

What's up world!

I was reading about Bleach today when I came across some amazing news! Warner Brothers bought the movie rights to Bleach and is in the talks of making a live action movie. I did more snooping and found out there are talks about live action movies for Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Ninja Scroll.

Akira is closest to becoming an actual movie, so I know most about it. According to The Hollywood Reporter(THR) and Anime News Network (ANN) Leonardo DiCaprio is producing Akira. The writers on this project include Gary Whitta who worked on Eli Stone. Also, a writer from Harry Potter is working in the project.

Im really excited for this. The issue now is who gets cast into this and other anime/manga movies. Do you use an American cast, international,or a Japanese cast? I think Priest is a good example of cast for a live action manga movie. I haven't seen Priest but the cast is international and the trailers look great(I need to see this movie!) They are moving the setting of Akira to New York, which in my mind means its okay to use an American cast. ?_?

Bleach is really in the first stages. So far it is said the Peter Segal is going to produce the movie. Segal has produce Anger Mangement, 50 First Dates, and other comedies. He hasn't done any thing dark or action packed. I am a bit concerned he isn't really right for this. I don't want his first try at something different to be  with Bleach.  I have some high hopes for this movie(because I am in love with bleach <3).
 
Anime and manga are really about to get some A-list attention. Everyone should be worried that this is going to turn out like DBZ but Priest looks promising. I believe Preist could be the blue print to taking manga and anime and making it accessible to the world in a way the works for the general population. ^_^

*Sidenote Leonardo DiCapro is also supposed to produce Ninja Scroll but I don't know who is producing Ghost in the Shell(When I know more I will let you know).

Edolas is the Strangest Place Ever! And Why is the Green Haired Chick on Bleach so Mean?

Konbanwa!  ^_^

This week in my world of anime Fairy Tail and Bleach were amazing!

A short recap of Fairytail. Natsu, Wenday, Carla, and Happy go to Edolas. This is after we learn Carla and Happy were sent from Edalos. Carla knows what their mysterious missions is but Happy doesn't. Anima is sucking out the magic from Earthland(Natsu's and Wendy's universe) and giving it to Edolas. The four of them start traveling in Edalos to search for their friends and find a guild there called Fairy Tail but not quite as they know it.

So...my predictions were wrong! T_T Anima is in no way the black dragon but I do find it strange to introduce this mysterious dragon and then go in a totally different direction. I no longer think Gajeel will pop up becuase he doesn't have a talking cat. I love the Edolas Lucy. Super hard core she looks liek she ready to punch someone at all times! I also think Happy is a prince and Carla is his princess, which is why shes so nasty to him. I wonder how Natsu will survive with out his magic ?_? I cant wait for the next episode!

Bleach was fantastic this week too! All of the Captains and Liutetents that are in the World of the Living had a meeting in Ichigos room(hehe) to the discuss the recent events and decide that Inaba probaly put something he needs in Nozomi(green haired mystery woman)! While this is happening Orihime throws Nozomi a party, which she leaves(what's her deal >_<!). When she leaves she gets attacked by the fake Rangiku and is saved.

In this episode Green Haired Lady made me mad and until she shows some character im gonna call her Green Head! She was so standoffish and Kon was trying so hard to make her feel comfortable. Orihime had to throw her a party! The copies are worrying me because they long to be recognized as individuals and not as copies. I also am excited because I think we are going to see the non-perv side of Kon lol. I still dont know where this is going but I want to see how Byakuya is going to behave in the World of the Living! He is a strange man. ^_^

*Side note if anyone was wondering Gotei 13 means 13 Court Guard Squads
 
Does anyone (who hasnt read the manga) have any ideas on where Bleach is going or does anyone have a guess as to who Happy and Carla are in Edolas? @_@

I really want to get an idea of who is reading this so please follow me or leave a comment so I know you're their.

Miyazaki's Best Movie

I just got done watching Princess Mononoke and I was going to write about it tomorrow but this movie always moves me so deeply. Its one of the reasons I love anime so much. Its hard to find a movie that has everything I love and make so many valid and necesarry points.

I don't want to spoil this movie so I won't go into too much detail on what it is about. This movie is about a young man trying to understanding the relationship between an iron town and the forest next to it. He tries to help both sides see that their fighting is causing pain. He asks both sides to rid themselves of hate and anger they hold towards each other.

 There are three things to be learned from this movie:
  1. Hate is a disease that spreads and tears you apart. Once hate starts you stuck in a never ending cycle of pain and hate. Be sure to view things from both sides to gain a true understanding of situation
  2. People only know how to conqueror. We lack the understanding and the control to live with the world. We expect everything to change to our needs.
  3. Everyone wants everything. This is the way of the world. 
These things are just some of the things that we should think about. I simply love all of this guy's movies. They all have a great message hidden in there. This movie in particular was very serious. Many of them are more light-hearted. ^_^

The New Arc! Gotei 13 Invading Army

The new arc for Bleach is really heating up and seems to be promising but before we talk about that lets admire black haired Ichigo.  Hmmm... eye candy *_* I wouldn't mind if he always looked this hot plus he kicks so serious Aizen tail in this form.

However, the consequences of Final Getsuga Tenshou have made Ichigo cautious of using his bankai. In this arc, the soul society is under attack by a member of squad 12 called Inaba. I havens quite figured out what his deal is yet but I think he is feeling a bit under-appreciated.

This conspiracy plot is quite complicated. Time in the Precipice World and the Soul Society are out of sync. There is a green haired girl that popped in the World of the Living(not sure what her role is yet ?_?). And this Inaba guy is behind it all. He has copies of all of the captains and lieutenants. These copies can be stronger than the original! o_o!

Kenpachi, Renji, Byakuya, and the others who were sent to the Precipice world went missing. During Ichigo's fight with Inaba he discovered he couldn't hollowfy himself! Then everyone who goes pops up in the world of the living! Everything is really messy right now! I didnt even metion that Ichigo was put in jail in the Soul Society. Yourichi ended up stuck in a battle with two or three of the copies when she was trying to get Ichigo and Rukia to the World of the Living! @_@

I just have to say this is a nice foundation for a great conspiracy theory. This arc has me yelling at my computer already. I ended up going to bed at like 3 because I decided I had to see where this is going. I wish I had many predictions but I don't. T_T I need more info!

Predictions:
  1. Yourichi is not going to die. She is just way to hardcore for that and shes my fav. (My favorite characters   always die! T_T)
  2.  Ichigo is going to find a way to stablize his spirtual pressure.
  3. Defeating Inaba is going to come down to out smarting him, so its going to be up to Souske to give Ichigo and the others the proper tools to defeat this guy.
I haven't watched the episode that was released today yet. Hopefully it gives more information and insight on what to expect during this arc. ^_^

In the next couple of days, I will put up a post about 1/2 Prince. There are also many hot men/trannies in this one. -_-

Fairy Tail is Crossing Universes!

Konbonwa(Good Evening) Everyone!

So yesterday I finally got caught up on Fairy Tail. I was sitting in my room freaking out. Episode 77 had me wanting for more. Here is recap for those of you who have already seen it. Wendy goes after Carla when she gets upset. While she was talking to Carla Mystogan reappears, and tells Carla that Anima is about to come and she should leave the city. Then all of Mangolia proceeds to disappear.(This is the cause of my freak out!) O_O So far the only people left is Wendy, Carla, Natsu, and Happy. We also find out Carla and Happy are from another world called Edolas.

Predictions:
1. Gajeel will find a talking cat. He looked so pathetic, I wanted to hold him and tell him it was okay.*^_^*
2. Anima is the black dragon that almost killed Gildarts.
3. The dragons' disapperance has something to do with Anima.
4. Mystogan and Jellal are from Edolas.
5. Gajeel didn't disappear.


Can't wait for the next episode!O_O What do you think will happen?

I Heart Inyuasha

One of the first shows I fell in love with was Inyuasha and I think I was 12. Last year, I started to rewatch the series and I have to say Inyuasha is in my top 20.  The show is funny yet has a serious side and the story line has a lot to offer. Its about a group of people looking for a shards of a sacred jewel and searching for an evil half demon named Naraku.

Its fun to watch Inyuasha grow and become a kinder/better person. I feel so bad for him because he isn't accepted by the demon or human community. He had to go and find his own family who can love him for who he is. I like how the lines between good and evil gets blurred. In this anime, even Sesshomaru has a kind streak here and there.

Kagome and Inyuasha are one of the most turbulent couples I have ever seen. They do however learn a lot from each other. <3  Shippo is just the cutest thing I have ever seen ^_^. Miroku reminds sadly of some of my friends T_T. He is a perv who can't stop himself. I can't imagine a man asking me if I wanted to bear his children. I'm sure I would give him the crazy face 0_o Sango is my fave. She is a super cool demon slayer and she a lady. Shes just bada** and I believe we must respect ones bada**ness. *_*

This show is awesome. It has everything. Its funny, sad, thoughtful, action packed, and romantic. I recommend it to people who want action with some laughs and fellas watch the really romantic episodes with your girl and I'm sure her heart will melt.

Hello World ^_^

Konnichiwa!

As this is my first posting I shall introduce myself. 


This is me! I'm your typical American but, I have an obsession with anime, manga and Japan. These are my favorite hobbies and I thought why not write about it. I plan on talking about the popular animes like Bleach, Fairytail, Death Note, and FMA: Brotherhood and some stuff that I end up watching or reading randomly. I hope you enjoy experiencing the joys of anime with me. ^_^
