Laugh at Belzebub? NO FREAKING WAY?! =)

I'm still looking for some good anime's and i haven't seen something that i consider interesting. I took a quick break from watching and resumed to reading Mangas. I didn't regret my decision and i was doing my best to recover from a tummy ache a few days ago...its not because of something i ate. I was hurting because I was laughing so much in reading Belzebub from www.Mangafox.com



Well first things first, I'll warn you first hand...If you don't even laugh on Belzebub then you don't have any sense of humor. Secondly, if you decide to read it try to read it alone without anyone hearing your psychotic and demented laughter. Yeah~ my sister and mom thought i was going crazy because i was laughing so loud a few days ago (My sister got curious and read the same manga. She was also laughing after a few pages and got addicted in reading the story.

Belzebub is the story about Tatsumi Oga (Oga) your typical, badass punk that likes to beat the crap out of anyone and the son of the Demon King Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV (Baby Bele). The Demon King wants to destroy humanity because he find them annoying but his schedule is pretty busy. He decided to let his son take care of destroying the world and assigned her wet nurse Hildagarde (Hilda) to find a suitable parent that will raise him. People refer to her as a Gothic Lolita (lolita? hahaha, seriously thats funny).

Together with the dimensional demon Alaindelon, they journeyed to the human world and found Oga. Baby Bele became attached to Oga and Oga did his best to get away from him. Baby Bele has some special powers and one of it is his "Ultra Electro Magnetic Shock" (just kidding). Whenever he cries, he sends electric shocks to his surroundings and electrocute anyone in the vicinity. Yeah~ Oga always gets hit by this attack. Aside from crying, Baby Bele also shocks Oga whenever he goes beyond 15m away from him.

Together with his friend Takayuki Furuichi (Furuichi)they searched their school to find the most evil and strongest punk to take Baby Bele away from him. He found out that Baby Bele made a contract with him which gives him "Demonic Powers" each time he fight. He later told Bele to stop doing those things and tried his best to teach him the valuable lessons of life. That lesson is...Don't Cry (Lol).



Belzebub is scheduled to be aired on January 2011 and this is one of the anime series that I am dying to see. Seriously, i wouldn't miss that opportunity if I were you.

Till then...

All Hail Britannia!...Errrr..GALLIA!!!

I doubt if anyone haven't heard of the anime "Code Geass" AKA Lelouch of the Rebellion (One of the anime's that caught my attention). The story starts with the Britannian Empire capturing almost all the nations of the world and Japan fell into their hands as well. The country Japan was later called Area 11 and the Japanese were called "Elevens".


Lelouch Lamperouge is not your typical 17 year old Ashford Academy student. Unknown to many he is a son of the Emperor of Britannia. Together with his sister Nunally Lamperouge, they were banished by their father to Area 11 were they hid their identity and tried to live normal lives. Lelouch has a simple wish, he wants to create peaceful world on which his sister Nunnaly can live in peace.

He also bears hatred towards his father (The Emperor of Britannia)because of the death of his Mother Empress Marianne. His entire life changed the moment he encounter the witch known in the story as "C.C". She is also an immortal and have the ability to give amazing powers to anyone that she desires. That power is called "Geass". The Eyes of a Geass user changes when he uses his power and some of those power requires something in return. If you were not able to control the powers it can go wild and may lead to serious complications.

His power was the Geass the can control anyone that makes eye contact with him.
But he can only order that person "once".Well he didn't have a problem with that condition and made sure that he used it effectively. C.C helped him with his plans and together they were an incredible combination. A combination fueled by hate and love at the same time.

Lelouch took another personality and called himself "Zero". He defends those that are powerless and are abused by the powerful. With his own troops known as the Black Knights, they waged war on the Britannian Empire and almost managed to be successful on the first Season of the Anime.

Lelouch planned well but not everything went according to his ideals. His sister Nunnaly was taken and made Governor of Area 11 which caused complications to his plans. His bestfriend Suzaku Kururugi also hinders his plan by piloting the White Knightmare known as "Lancelot" a powerful robot that is considered as one of the best creations on their generation.



The second part of the anime was more interesting because the battle took on a world wide scale. The Black Knights took shelter in China and made their plans to bring down the Britannian Empire once and for all. But guess what? Things kept on happening one after the other and Lelouch found himself torn between his love for his sister Nunnally and his hatred for his father the Emperor of Britannia. Gundam fans found this anime very entertaining and if you haven't watched it yet, then you better give it a try. You don't know what you're missing.

And yeah~ if you happen to watch the end of season 2 and thinks that Lelouch died...then you are definitely mistaken =P

The Story that you don't Know...

I never knew that finding good anime's takes a lot of time and effort. I've watched a couple of anime's over the past few days and i found only two that stand out. One of them is the anime entitled "Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou". It is the story about a boy who can see spirits and demons.



Natsume recieved a book called the "Book of Friends". It is a book that contains the names of spirits that his grandma "Reiko" has forced into servitude. Well forced is too strong a word, it's more like spirits that Reiko encountered when she was still alive. A lot of spirits are after the book and some of them are bad spirits that like to cause harm to humans and other spirits as well.

Natsume has a bodyguard that he calls "Nyanko Sensei", a cat (Personally, i like to call him Cat Pig)that is also a powerful ayakashi. He kept on saying that he wants Natsume to die, so that he can steal the Book of Friends. He's not really a good liar and i think he really cares about Natsume.

I experienced something interesting while watching this Anime. This anime can only be viewed in Megavideo and if you don't have any Megavideo accounts,then you will have to wait for an hour after watching 3 episodes. I encountered mysterious episodes while changing my browser. I use googlechrome when i browse the internet and this is the same browser i use when i watch anime series. Episode 7 requires you to use "Firefox Browser" if you're using googlechrome and watching from Animeseason. We tried watching it on googlechrome and we got 2 episodes that didn't continue the story of episode 6. Episode 7 was about a Fox Spirit that got attached to Natsume and visited him in his hometown. Episode 8 is about a FireFly spirit that is taking care of a painting. If you use Firefox browser, the story is continued to episode 7 with the evil spirit that is after Taki "A friend of Natsume's".

After finishing the series, I tried to look for the other 2 episodes but i haven't seen them ever since. O_o it was like, wow that was pretty mysterious. Anyways, you should try it as well. It was a very good series and the subtle and interesting plot will definitely captivate you into finishing it till the end.

Now the next anime that I'm about to tell you is the "Bakemonogatari" (Ghost Story) Anime.
I don't recommend this to people that doesn't have enough "patience and understanding". The story is a little complicated and the style makes it even more confusing. Overall I rate it as "Interesting" to say the least. I fell in love with the Ending song of the series which is "Kimi no Shira nai Monogatari" or "The Story you don't Know".



The story is about a Boy name Koyomi Araragi (Araragi) that is 1/10th vampire. He gets involved in different situations on which "abborations or apparitions" tend to attach themselves to cute girls. Yeah~ the first episode may in fact be the deciding factor whether someone will watch this series until the very end.

It focuses on the story of 5 girls that have these "Other wordly problems". Araragi seeks the help of "Meme Oshino" a man of middle aged years that have a mysterious background and takes care of "Shinobu Oshino" a cute little blond vampire (reminds me of Sue of Genshiken. She cosplays her on Genshiken 57). The first girl Hitagi Senjōgahara has been associated with the "Crab Spirit". Her problem is that she only weighs 5kg. Her burdens were taken away by the spirit and Araragi helps her to recover that burden. They became lovers (very very complicated and serious relationship, if i say so myself) and not an ordinary one at that.

The second girl is Mayoi Hachikuji, an earthbound spirit that people that doesn't want to go home encounters. She became good friends with Araragi and the only girl in the series that likes to mispronounce his name. She always says that she "stutters" whenever she says her name, but it is always on purpose.

The third is Suruga Kanbaru, the one that holds the so called "Monkeys Paw" but is later explained that it is a different kind of demon. She is a very athletic girl that likes Senjogahara (Araragi's Girlfriend). She claims that she is a lesbian and did everything to kill Araragi because of jealousy. Well she knocked him pretty good and was only saved by Senjogahara in the end.

The fourth is Nadeko Sengoku, among all the girls i really like her personalized opening song "renai circulation" (God she's cute xD)and she is quite cute as well (I just said that she's cute, sorry for repeating it again xD!). Her story is about a curse that is given to her while she was still young. The snake spirit is coiled around her body and it threatens her life. She tried to undo the curse by killing a lot of snakes and doing a ceremony in the temple dedicated for snakes. However the curse was not lifted and Araragi came to the rescue once again. Btw, Sengoku is a friend of her sister and calls him "Koyomi Oniichan".

The last is Tsubasa Hanekawa, this is Araragi's close friend and adviser. She is possessed by the Cat spirit that helps her relieve her stress by attacking anyone that happens to be on her path. She has the unique ability Energy Drain and sucks up the victims energy. Hanekawa's episode was also linked to the dissapearance of Shinobu (The vampire who sucks Arragi's blood from time to time). It seems that Hanekawa was in love with Araragi but doesn't want to tell him anything which led to the buildup of stress and caused the cat spirit to take form.

If you're going to watch Bakemonogatari, you must have a lot of patience. It's not your typical "watch and see" anime series. You just have to stick with it till the very end and be your own judge whether it's good or bad.


Changed the songs to Full anime songs because of my mood =P

Simply Amazing...5/5 Story

This is the story about two continents that had been at war for over a 100 years. Two continents that is divided by a big River (Lutoni River) and Mountains (Central Mountains). The East continent is called the Roxcheanuk Confederation (Did you bite your tounge? *lol*) AKA "Roxche" and the western Region which is known as the United Kingdom of Bezel Iltoa AKA "Soul Beil".


These two continents speak the same language and constantly finding new ways to cut each other's throats...so to speak.

At first, i thought that it resembled Gibli studios and the way they do anime movies. The story was really good and i felt like i was watching a compilation of anime movies, instead of an anime series. The story revolves around Wilhelm Schultz (Wil) A very smart and perceptive boy but is very slow when it comes to women's feelings (very typical).

His childhood friend Allison Whittington (Allison) is a beautiful, blonde, blue eyed lady that is not afraid to show her feelings. She acts and seems like a tomboy but she is very ladylike in so many ways. She holds Wil by the neck and drags him around wherever she goes. Also a very talented pilot that handles planes. They were both raised in an orphanage and considers each other as a family.


One day an old man told them a story about a treasure that can help stop the war between Roxche and Soul Beil. Before the old man was able to finish his story he was kidnapped and brought to the continent of Soul Beil. Btw, Wil and Allison are from Roxche. The two used a plane to follow the old man and they crossed the enemy's continent.

As the story progressed on the first 4 episodes, they were able to find the treasure that help end the war. Oh yeah~ the war was about "Who was the first humans that existed". Yeah, it was pretty important in the story >_>"

The fighting stopped and the two gave all the credits to Mr Carr Benedict (a fighter plane pilot, just like Alison) AKA Second Lieutenant Love Letter *lol*. After the discovery of the Treasure (Mural) he became the hero and was hailed on both continents.

The story didn't end there and this is a very interesting anime because the main characters actually aged. They met a lot of people and became friends with the Queen of a kingdom. Wil and Allison had a daughter "Lilia" (Which is the second part of the story Allison & Lilia). The second part of the story revolved around her and the prince of the Kingdom of Ikstova (The queen's son of course). Together they had the same adventures as their parents and discovered their feelings to each other.


If you're looking for something good to watch, then look no further.
I highly recommend Allison & Lilia, i give it a 5/5.
Go to animeseason.com and don't miss the chance of watching a one of a kind anime.

That's it for now, I'll let you know if i find something nice to watch or read.
Till then...

Your Soul, Your Beat.....you can't get anything better than that

Wow...the last thing i need is a tearjerker and i think i made a mistake when i watched "AngelBeats". I'm lost for words...the one that made this anime is really something.

At first i thought it was a serious anime, then i was laughing before i knew it. The last thing on my mind is that it can make people cry. I didn't cry though (I just felt like i want to, thats all) their are a few anime's that can make me cry. I'm really a sensitive person when it comes to good anime's and good manga's.

The story revolves around a school which is the final destination of teens that have died (without fulfilling things in life). Imagine waking up and the first person you see tell's you that you are already dead. How would that make you feel? Confused probably (especially if you don't have any memories). Yuzuru Otonashi experienced death and was in the middle of the fight between Rebels led by Yuri Nakamura(SSS) and the so called "Angel Character" Kanade Tachibana.

The rebels feels anger towards God for being unfair in their lives. Kanade is considered as an enemy because she is intent of "erasing" their existence (but it was really a misunderstanding). Kanade is not an angel and is also a human with a soul.
The other students in the school are considered as NPC's by Yuri because she thinks that they have no soul.

The rebels have guns, weapons and other things that they use to attack the Angel who is always in the way of their plans. The angel on the other hand is equipped with skills that is capable of matching all of their firepowers combined.

As the plot nears its end, Everyone realized that there was a threat in the "World" that they are in. Shadows appeared out of nowhere and resets everyone (Sucking their soul or something like that). The person continues to live of course but they seem strange and somewhat distant.

The final battle took place and it was as if they were fighting against God himself (of course that was not God himself). The Finale was really a tearjerker with everyone finding fulfillment in life and Moving on to the next life...

Another secret was revealed at the end of the show and Yuzuru confessed his feelings to Kanade. He begged her to stay and help him guide the lost souls who will enter the world. Actually, Kanade was still alive and only wandered to the "World" by accident. She is searching for the person that donated a heart for her. Yeah...Yuzuru was the heart donor and Kanade has his heart.




Well...just watch the last episode until the very end. You might see an unexpected surprise and of course, you decide on what the real ending is. For me, i would prefer something happy and most of you might choose the same.

LevelupLive Championship is tomorrow and i'll be at the World Trade Center by Lunch.

It's time to "Close the Curtain" and the fat lady is about to sing.
Phoenix might not play Levelup Games for a while since we decided to play internationally for a while.

But who knows? Phoenixians will always be Phoenixians and other people that carries our blood might lift the banner once again. Life is full of uncertainty and the only things that stands in their way is the courage to face life's adversity and step on the ladders of success, hardship and defeat...one step at a time.


Keep the Flames Burning!!

Too Slow and Too Fast for Comfort....

I thought that the week is going to start great. I had a date with my little sister last Monday and we just went around the mall to eat and chat and sing (in a booth). Tuesday changed everything and i almost went berserk. I won't get into the details but it is a very disappointing and stressful day for me. I took another day off at work and try to salvage the things that i need to save. Still, it was too late to do anything and there's nothing i can do about it.



My Genshiken hang over is slowly getting better and that is all thanks to Bakuman.
Bakuman is a story about two guys trying to become popular Mangakas.At first, the main character Moritaka Mashiro (Saiko) was drawing something at his notebook during class. He forgot it on the way home and goes back to pick it up. He found Akito Takagi (Takagi) alone in the classroom and he told him that he saw the drawing on his notebook.

This is where everything started. With a little pestering from Takagi, Saiko finally agrees to think about on being a mangaka. The story revolves around the two, doing their best to create a manga that will become an anime. There is a hidden agenda behind it and it was a very sweet story indeed. Saiko's crush Azuki Miho (Miho) wants to become a voice actress. They made a promise to each other to get married when they both fulfilled their dreams. Saiko having a manga serialized and turned into an anime and Miho being the voice actress of the heroine.

I was not dissapointed, the main characters had a hard time and there were a lot of obstacles along the way. The twists of the story was very nice and what really caught my attention is the "Rivalry" aka "Friendly Competition" between different Mangaka's (Manga Authors/Artists).

Thesecompetitions are very inspiring to read and it seems that each unique individual makes the story complete. New characters are continually added to the story and it makes everything more interesting. I'm very sensitive whenever i read a good story and i know that bakuman is a good story. I really look forward on the continuation of the series and hope that it will have a happy ending.



The person that introduced me to manga was my nephew. My initial thought about manga's are boring because unlike animes, they don't move. I was still young back then (my nephew was younger of course) and i was really hooked when i first read Mx0 (check manga sites for more details). The story was very nice and i like the twists. It's really good and i was a little disappointed when it came to an (abrupt) end.




Ever since then, i've read manga's and up till now i always get my "kicks" after a good story. My sister also love reading manga and we usually exchange good manga titles. It's a good thing that i am able to do something to keep my mind off things.
I know that things are going to be hard for me on the next few days. All i can do is grit my teeth and kick all the obstacles on my way.

Frustrating days up ahead...oh well
