Hello, People. I know I haven;t updated my blog for a very long time already. I was surfing the net and I came across somethings that are quite interesting that I would like to share.
This is Red Sinanju! I have actually seen him around the june holidays time, if I'm not wrong, he was on a showcase at the comics connection fiesta ( went there alone ) Ever since I saw it there, I have dreamt of getting it. But now I'm gonna fufill my wish, I will be getting him after the 'O' s. Haha!
This is so far the best photo taken of him I can find =( Although this one doesn't look like the one I saw, it's still so cool looking! This is also my second favourite Gundam figure! I remembered that the one on the display at the comics connection fiesta was holding another better looking weapon, believe me, I have been trying to ask around where or what is that weapon, but to no avail~~ ( If anybody have a clue of any weapons, please tell me =X Ur help will be appreciated ALOT! THANKS )



Sadly, I have to focus on my "O" s right now. I have to resist my temptation of buying it! >.<
Yup, That is Lancelot from Code Geass. Sorry for saying this but I was expecting a much more better looking Lancelot, so this is not really up to my liking =X

I guess this Lancelot is better than the one before, I am planning to get this also, after "O" s~~Karen's Guren MK-II This is also something I'm gonna get>.<>The worst part comes in here, if you guys remembered, I bought a LElouch figure before and I saw this after buying the figure!! This is totally not fair! This is nicer and cheaper than the one I bought!!!!! OH gosh, Never Mind, I will buy him again! The best thing is that his clothes are made of real fabrics!! Seriously, I regretted buying the Lelouch I bought before, I would rather buy these Lelouch's..Anyways, Lightning is still my favourite. Her figures are finally out, but I'm not sure if it's out in Singapore ( Don't think so ) I think her figure looks DAMN awesome, Don'cha think so? ( Actually, I am also interested in Noct's figure but his figures are not out =( Sian!A side view..Lastly, Other characters from FF 13...

Yo guys! guess wad? I hav nothing to do ( except to study )

Decided to post on one of my FAVOURITE and dream figure ^^ If there is Lightning figure, I would Grab it NOW!! *.* ( sadly, there is no prduction on lightning figures this big yet =*(

This is a quarter-scale Cloud figure from Advent Children, which has currently only been available in Japan, is about to see a western release. Cue little piggy-like squeals of excitement from Final Fantasy fans across the free world.

Oh, yes, it's $399. Which is Totally scandalously horribly amazingly TOO EXPENSIVE >.<
.
1 thing I like is the facial expression. Seems almost alive.
Planning to get this on my special day ^^ ( Saving up now ) =)

HI, guys!!! I have decided to re-do the review on D GRAY MAN.

Basically, D Gray Man was my first anime that really caught my attention when I saw it on tv. I think that the plot of the anime is very VERY original and superb. ( I'm actually a fan of D Gray Man ) With such intense actions in the anime, how can anybody not get addicted to it.

My favourite episode is Ep 102 ( the part where Lenalee ' revives ' her innocence ). Other than that would be the part where allen activates his Crown Clown innocence for the first time in the Asian Branch and the part where Allen saves Lenalee from The Earl. Woah, the way Allen came out and stopped The Earl is just COOL

The artwork of DGM is just so great that I can't take my eyes of it. Although sometimes... it gets boring ( the part where Allen took such a long time to revive his innocence in the Asian Branch ) BUT in overall, I think that its a MUST watch anime.

I was reading the manga where it got kind of boring UNTIL.... THE LATEST CHAPTER 182 is OUT! Allen's noah rises!!

Its just amazing at the way the artist captures the audience's heart at time to time. It's not like other animes where you can expect the outcome, an example would be that Allen Walker is actually related to the 14th and currently.... Allen discovers something strange when he stabs himself with his own sword.

OH man~~ I just wish that the next season can really come out soon caz ppl seem to be forgetting DGM....

( Allen WAlker's Noah is Rising ) ^^ * Pls tell me how is this review, arigato~~

Kiba (牙, literally fang, or if divided into Ki-Ba, a spiritual place), a fantasy anime by Madhouse, began broadcasting on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2006. The series is directed by Hiroshi Kōjina with Upper Deck Japan, a trading card game company, as the main sponsor. ^[1] The anime has been licensed by Upper Deck USA and produced by ADV Films for North American distribution.

The series is more violent than other trading-card-game-tie-in animations with many characters being killed. According to an interview with the March 2006 issue of Animage, Hiroshi Kamishina, the show's director, noted that the show "absolutely will not have any plot elements that carry favor to children".^[1] The producers of the show has also commented that Kiba will not be the type of show to put "human drama" on the back burner while concentrating on promotional tie-ins.^[1]. While Upper Deck owns the rights to the series, ADV Films is producing the dub and distributing the Kiba anime, and it will be available later this year.^[2] Kiba started airing on Toonami Jetstream on July 14, 2008. It ceased airing on Jetstream on January 21, 2009.

So, what do I think of this anime? 1st thing 1st, I liked the songs from this anime, especially Very Very by Afromania. I think that song is cool. Oh, btw, the anime may seemed nice at 1st BUT as you continue watching, you will realise that the artist don't seem to be putting effort into his work. At some point of time, I would be thinking : " Is that a potato or the hand? " ~~


Another thing about the anime that seems to have been misunderstood I guess. You get to meet several characters who are completely different. I also feel having read the other reviews that the main-character Zed has been totally misunderstood.
In the anime he appealed me the most because he doesn’t know his place in the world and thru strength he tries to find his anwsers.
Throughout the series he shows little emotion since he has always had to care for himself. He wonders if his mother still or has ever loved him which is 1 of or the main reason for being hesitatant of his place in life.
Because he is the only person who doesn’t want to change people he has no intentions that can turn evil. Because of this his Spirit Amil Gaul only believes in Zed. Zed seeks to improve himself not to improve the people or the world around him. With this attitude he is most capable of handeling great powers without being corrupted. And without corruption the world actually stands a chance. Which eventually can lead to peace.

anyways, its a so-so anime, but I really liked the actions when tha spirit battles.

Ratings: 6/10 ( sry if the review is too long, if you think that its too long, pls tell me and I will do smthn about it )

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ ,Kōdo Giasu: Hangyaku no Rurūshu^?) is an anime created by Sunrise. Directed by Gorō Taniguchi and written by Ichirō Ōkouchi, both of whom had earlier worked on the series Planetes, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion features original character designs by Clamp.
My favorite part of the anime is how well the story is told. From the desire of finding his mother's killer and the granting of the Geass by C.C., Lelouch starts a " war " that will lead nations in a bloody battle. I especially enjoyed the splendid military strategies that the anime had. It is great to watch Lelouch use to his liking any tactic that serves his purpose without any regard.

This show would never be possible if Lelouch was so FREAKING smart. He is wonderfully portrayed and his dialogues are excellently written. His actions are devious and fit his character. Most important of all is that he is unpredictable. It is so refreshing to watch an anime where I can finally feel genuinely shocked from what Lelouch is capable of doing. There are also some parts where you would be stunned at how the ending resulted in ( totally not expected )


Ultimately, the anime is so EVERYTHING i can describe of.

D.Gray-man (ディーグレイマン ,Dī Gureiman^?) is an ongoing Japanese manga series. The series tells the story of a boy named Allen Walker who is able to use an ancient substance called Innocence, and becomes an Exorcist in order to collect all the Innocence that is lost in the world alongside other Exorcists and to defeat the Millennium Earl who possesses an army of akuma.
I decided to put up this post for fun... lol! The anime was one of the tops when it just came out.

Allen Walker ( the main character ) is your template good guy: idealistic, naive, honest, (somewhat feminine looking) and devours food like a black hole. Nevertheless Allen is a likable character. ( by girls )

Lenalee Li is most likely the next most prominent character in the manga & anime and the most likely candidate as Allen's love interest. Lenalee is feminine, caring and loyal . She loves her kooky and somewhat irresponsible brother, also supervisor of the science division, Komui Li, and values her friendships, her one with Allen in particular. Another template and not amazingly unique character, I just like Lenalee because her innocence, 'dark boots' are so damn sassy and powerful in the later parts of the anime.

Road Noah makes a more compelling 'bad-guy' figure then the Millennium Earl himself (a lot more notable in the manga then the anime) who just pops in to create Akuma and drops out again, whereas Rhode takes the time out of her busy school schedule to terrorize Allen and the gang.

D.Gray-Man struck me as very unique and gripping, especially in the beginning, I was hooked for days at a time. This anime is just so wonderful~~

D Gray Man's manga came to a stop when the artist injured HER wrist, unable to draw, she took a few weeks leave! I cant believe it! All the fans were craving for the manga. I was kinda afraid that ppl would forget totally about D Gray Man if the manga doesn't come out soon. Lucikly, it came out. Yeepi!!
