2011 Here I Come!!

I have "sooooooooooooooooooo" many plans for 2011 and i hope that i can do them all. First off, i need to finish the story that i am writing. The next one will be finding an artist to draw it. Third, find a good exercise routine to remove all the blubber in my stomach and Fourth, Enroll for Japanese Classes. Well, those are on the top of my list and sadly i won't be able to post all the things that i have to do for 2011.

I am very thankful for the past year, because i learned a lot and i was able to have more free time for myself. It also made me realize on what i really wanted to do for the next three years of my life. I am not expecting everything to be smooth sailing and i know that I'm heading for a very bumpy road. However, this is one of those things that i have to do and that is to create my own "accomplishment" in life.

My New Years Resolution would be "Exercise, Exercise, Exercise".

I want to thank all the people that I have met during 2010 and the times i spent with them. I don't believe in destiny, but i do believe in fate. What is the difference between the two? I'll leave that to your imagination. Just remember that their are an unlimited number of choices that you have in life, but none of them can be the right choice. If that happens what do you do? It's pretty simple, "When you make a choice...You make that choice the right one".

Now I am waiting for the next Anime's for 2011 and some of them will be listed today as well. But before that, I would like to do a recap on what i think was interesting "anime series" for the past months that i have started making anime reviews. I will continue to make anime reviews for 2011 and i hope that you guys will enjoy the anime titles that I enjoyed watching.

Here are some of the Anime's from the previous years that passed by and i do recommend these titles. Of course, all the anime reviews i made so far are the ones that really made an impact on me. So please try them when you have the time ;)



Now for the Anime's of 2011 that I am looking forward for!



Good things come and go and the only thing that is permanent in this world is change.
I wish you all happiness this life has to offer in the year 2011. May all your dreams come true and lastly, stay safe everyone ^^,


"If your mind can conceive it
and your heart can believe it.
You will definitely Achieve it!"


Till then, Keep the Flames Burning!!

My Sister is Not Cute and Well Guarded Secrets

Almost everyone has a secret that they can't tell anyone, especially those who are close to them. But, there are times when they have no choice but to tell others and hope that they will accept them as they are.

The Two anime titles that I'm going to share to you is something you might have watched before and a series that has just ended. The first on my list is the Anime "Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai" better known as "My Little Sister can't be this Cute!"



Ok, my personal thoughts on the matter first. As much as i want to agree with the title and what the story implies....If you have your own little sister, then you will probably understand. Some anime's displays a strong bond between siblings, especially about the older brother caring for her little sister. Of course, Brothers "Care" for their sisters in real life...but anime's tend to exaggerate at times ^_^
The Truth about Brother and Sister Relationship is not always rainbow colored. It is sometimes dyed with the bloody colors of red O,...,O

I have a little sister and we spent most of our childhood beating the crap out of each other. Since I'm the "Oldest and Strongest" she occasionally suffers some bruises and sprains after all the fighting has passed. Our fights happens almost everyday, because we don't always agree about something...we even fight about something so "petty".

I don't know when exactly i stopped beating her....but i remember the reason why I stopped. Seeing her all bruised up after that one fight, made me ashamed of myself. From then on onwards, I promised not to lay a hand on my sister again. Even now, we argue a lot and yes, almost every single day. But now we only do "word fights". Yeah the usual, Curses...Insults...and even threats. I don't know if that is still good or our relationship has improved. But, i can proudly say that i stopped "Beating the crap out of her". (^^,)V

Well ok enough of that, now back to the story.

The Anime "My Little Sister can't be this Cute" is the story about an Older brother and a little sister (DUH!) who doesn't really talk to each other and prefers it that way. The first time i became aware of this title is because of the Manga i read. Surprisingly after reading the manga for 3 days i saw that it was released as an anime.

Coincidence? I stopped believing in coincidence long before "Tsubasa Reservoir and xxHolic" was released. I was just happy that there is something "interesting to watch" and help pass the time.

Kyōsuke Kōsaka was your typical average kind of guy. He's not good looking and the only thing that is good about him is....the fact that she has a cute sister?

One day, he found a CD Case of an "Anime Magical Girl" that contains an "Ero Game". He was shocked to find something like that lying around the house and decided to find out who is the owner of the "Ero Game". His deduction was simple....His Mom = No way, His Dad = No Freaking Way, Her Sister = Impossible. So who is the owner of the CD? He decided to find it out for himself and was surprised at the discovery.

His little sister Kirino Kōsaka went to his room frantically searching for the CD Case that she dropped. Yeah, the owner of the "Ero Game" was his little sister "Kirino". Kyosuke returned the CD to her and promised not to tell his parents about it.

He thought that it ended right there. He thought wrong =)

Kirino suddenly came to his room late at night and invites him to her room.
She showed her "secret hobby" to her Older Brother and that was the start of something "unexpected". She loves to play games that concerns "Little Sisters".

Anime, Games, Ero Games you name it! As long as it has a little sister character, this otaku maniac will stop at nothing to acquire it. The thing is, she loves playing them so much...yet he hates his older brother?

Her hobby was discovered by his dad and everything was in chaos. Seeing her little sister so depressed and crying over something she loved triggered something in Kyosuke. What is it? Brotherly Love? Perhaps...Irritation? Perhaps...but it was something that he thought was pretty Crazy as well. Imagine, defending her little sister for having a weird hobby which he personally think is weird as well.

His dad finally gave up and the family accepted her hobby. That was the start of the so called "Life Consultations" by Kirino. Kyosuke listens to this consultations and acts accordingly to what he think is right and wrong.

Kirino found friends who share the same hobby.

Ruri Gokō is a very petite, mysterious and soft spoken lady that calls herself Kuroneko. A gothic lolita cosplayer that likes mystery type animes, which is the complete opposite of Kirino's hobby. They get along well "in their own way" and can also be considered as close friends (but they won't admit it).

Saori Makishima the leader of the so called "Anime Girls Unite" group and the main supporting character for the two girls. Her pen name is "Saori Vageena", just call her Saori so you won't have any problems ^_^

The story was pretty interesting in its own way. The humor was just right, the drawing was nice, the story was good and the ending was a "Good Ending" as most games are concerned. To those that are looking for a light anime to watch, then My Little Sister can't be this cute will suit your taste just fine.

Now for the second anime title....they both have similarities, that is also the main reason why i decided to make them the "review for this week".


"Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu" or "Haruka Nogizaka's Secret" is the story about a girl that is recognized as the most beautiful, most talented and smartest student in Hakujō Academy. The thing is, she has a secret and she loves anime. Pretty Normal? Not to the so called "Normal People". Well as you may already know,people that likes anime is considered different. Even in Japan, these so called Otakus are not accepted by many people. Haruka fears that if her secret was revealed, her life would be over.



Something similar happened in the past, which made her transfer schools.She was traumatized by that experience and goes out of her way to conceal her so called "secret hobby".

One Day Yūto Ayase was asked by a friend to return a book in the library. It was an anime book, but he is not an anime lover. He's your average guy that studies hard and works hard. He accidentally discovers Haruka Nogizaka's secret, when he bumped into her and saw the book that he just returned in her possession.

Being the good guy that he is, he promised not to reveal her secret. It was tough protecting Haruka's secret, because she is the school's number one idol. He got various problems regarding "Haruka's fans" but he was able to overcome each and every obstacle.

There is another problem. The Nogizaki Family doesn't like Haruka's hobby. Well not everyone in the family, only her FATHER. He is very strict and doesn't want Haruka to have these "Weird hobbies".

Her secret was discovered by his father and it was time for Yuto, to stand up and protect Haruka from his clutches. Supported by Haruka's little sister Mika Nogizaka the powerful Maids Hazuki Sakurazaka and Nanami Nanashiro they make sure that Haruka enjoys her Hobby and the Love of her life at the same time.

^__^ pretty good story if you ask me.


I am currently writing a story and I hope that I find someone to draw it.
The title of my so called manga is "Dareka No Tameni" and i plan on finishing it by January or February. If someone can give it justice...and the drawings are good then who knows what might happen? I am crossing my fingers and pray that it will be something BIG! ^____^


Till then...Keep the Flames Burning!

Girl + Girl + Girl = More Girls? (LOL)

Well, i am familiar with anime's that have the Harem feature. Many cute girls surrounding a guy, and many cute guys surrounding a girl. But, when you see anime's like "Maria-sama ga Miteru" it makes you think twice that their are other anime's that focuses on the same gender relationship. Although, not all of you are familiar with BL (Boys Love?) Yaoi and Girl to Girl (Yuri) relationships, their are some anime's that have these kind of genre.

Although these relationships also happens in "real life", the question that most people often asks is "WHY?"

I'm not an expert on that field, so i won't try to explain the details on how these relationship works. But Hey! All is fair in Love and War right?

Now, lets focus on the anime at hand. The title of this anime is "Koihime Musou" and it consists of 3 seasons. The story revolves around Unchou, Kan'u (Kanu)
A girl who's parents were killed by bandits. In order to stop the same thing from happening to others, she became the notoriously known "Bandit Hunter".



She met her first friend Yokutoku, Chouhi (Rin Rin) and she became her sworn sister (Hmmm...to put it simply, a sister that is not blood related but shares the same relationship as a real sister).

RinRin is rather a very active and cheerful girl that doesn't know how to keep still even for a minute. Her playful attitude and stubbornness matches up with her sworn sister's carefree and matured demeanor.


The two of them journeyed the land to make it a better place for everyone. They encounter a lot of people and of course "bandits" along the way and these is where the whole story revolves.

They also met a lot of girls that carries the same weapon (Spears) and together they made the "Revolutionary Army". These army is responsible in clearing away bandit troops in different areas in the country (Btw, the setting was on Ancient China).


Chouun Shiryuu is another unique character in the story. She pretty much likes to play jokes on people and sometimes cosplays as "Kachou Kamen" (Masked Butterfly). She loves to eat bamboo shoots and sometimes get lost in the story and only appears when...she thinks it is appropriate to make an appearance (lol).

It would take up a lot of time to describe all the characters in the story because there are a LOT of them. Nevertheless, these anime series is something worthwhile to watch.

The Following are the titles for the different seasons of the anime.

Koihime Musou - First Season
Shin Koihime Musou - Second Season
Shin Koihime Musou Otome Tairan - Third Season

Of course, the main characters are all girls so expect some "ecchiness" every now and then. The humor is just about right and the story line is surprisingly interesting.

Now we go to the other anime title.
This second anime caught my interest because of the seemingly familiar and intriguing story line. It tackles about the so called "Gods" of a certain town and their identity is hidden among the local populace.



The anime title is "Ookami Kakushi".
The story takes place in "Jouga Town" where Hiroshi Kuzumi and his family moved in.
Hiroshi suddenly became popular among his class and a lot of people seem attracted to him. Some of his classmates mysteriously disappears and whenever he ask what happened to them, almost everyone just says that they "Moved Out".

He witnessed a murder done by someone wielding a great scythe and has been directly involved in the secret surrounding the small town of Jouga. He found out that he has a certain characteristic that attract the "Gods" (Werewolves in Human Form). He is also referred in the story as a "Temptation" that is too hard to resist.

The Ending is a little hmmm...lacking perhaps? But i guess, it's ok in its own way.
You just have to see for yourself whether you find it interesting or not.

Now the Third Anime Title is.....What? There's More? Of course =) , were going for a third anime title this week *Smirks*.

The title of this anime is "Seitokai no Ichizon". Ok, this anime is pretty well known and the reason is..."You don't actually need one".

Well basically, this anime only revolves around a certain room and that is where the whole story takes place. Yeah...imagine the story just stays in one room? Pretty "Daring" if you ask me. Surprisingly, it worked out just fine.



Hekiyou Academy has a special student council that does practically.....NOTHING!
Yeah, this is the only student council that doesn't have any workload and they just chat around all day. They often make parodies of some "Anime titles" which also enhances the appeal of the story.

The main character Ken Sugisaki (also the only guy in the student council) Holds the Blue Chip position. A position that is taken by the smartest person in the school. He often flirts with the four main heroines and consider the student council as his own personal Harem. Although a very perverted person at heart, he goes out of his way to make sure that all his pretty girls are always smiling.

The President of the student council Kurimu Sakurano is a very active girl that likes to eat sweet things. Her Special feature is ....having no special feature aside from being short and flat chested. She likes to propose different topics to start a meeting but everything is in vain because of the lack of interest of the student council members.

Chizuru Akaba is the more ladylike character in the story and is also the secretary of the student council. If i have to describe her, she resembles the student council president of "Sora no Otoshimono". Yeah the Yakuza Girl that likes to give torture to people. She's really smitten with Kurimu and likes to play around with Ken.

Minatsu Shiina is a girl that loves action and adventure. She's the typical Tsundere type character who likes to punch Ken whenever he tries to do something perverted. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this girl loves fighting so much that opening a martial arts tournament would seem the "normal" thing to do for her. Well, she's pretty cute in her own way and is also the sister of Mafuyu Shiina.

Mafuyu Shiina is considered as the cutest? hmmm most attractive? girl in the student council aside from the president. She's a girl that loves to play games and read BL titles (Boys Love) and have a weird fantasy that concerns relationship between Ken and an imaginary cute guy. She's not very active and would only participate in discussion when asked.

These four girls have influenced Ken when he was down and depressed and also the reason why he did his best to join the student council. She met the president during the spring, Minatsu during the summer, Chizuru during the fall and Mafuyu during the Winter.

Yeah...a unique anime in its own right and worthy to be mentioned in my weekly anime reviews.

Btw, The last episode of Sora No Otoshimono Forte is now posted on youtube and animeready.com

Another good anime series has ended and the only thing that i am waiting for is the release of the Sora no Otoshimono the Movie.I really hope the manga will still continue and hopefully go for a third season. There are really some anime's that you don't want to end right away. I bid you all a great week and hopefully a great Christmas.


Till then...Keep the Flames Burning!

Strictly 18 and Above!

Ok, so like i said...this week's review is for those that are only 18 and above. If you are not within the age limit then i suggest you scram and get the hell out of this page right now...

So before we start, i would like to clear one thing first. Everyone has their own preference and no matter what others say about your likes and dislikes, you shouldn't give a damn on what they have to say. I mean...duh, it's your life your living and not theirs right?

So without further delays i present to you 2 anime's that i think would make you feel a little awkward at times but happy inside? (lol that could mean a lot of things btw).

The First Anime/Manga that i'm going to tell you is "Sora no Otoshimono".
But before that, i would like to cite my own honest opinion on the series.
While i was watching the first few episodes, i was thinking that "Hey, this is weird...but it's good?" and "This can be better, this could get a lot better.", "It has room for improvements, with a few tweaks this would be awesome".

After watching Clannad, i got a little too sensitive while watching and reading things. So...I was greatly interested on how the anime would turn out to be. It turned out just right, but like i said it could have been a lot better. But i guess, without the usual pervertness then this anime/manga might not even be one of the best anime's of the current generation.

Anyways, Sora no Otoshimono is the story about Tomoki Sakurai...a highschool student that likes "Peace and Quiet" above all else. He has a childhood friend named Sohara Mitsuki that takes good care of him and gives him the "deadly karate chop" when he goes out of bounds.



He has been having a dream about a girl that he meets whenever he enters the dreamworld and she gets spirited away by the sky every time. These dreams seem to have a greater meaning than what it seems and that is where it all started.

A girl fell from the sky one night and Sakurai tried his best to save her from the falling debris. The girl was an angel (Angeloid to be precise) and she made Sakurai her master. Her name is Ikaros/Icaros and she is a "Pet Class Angeloid" which is made for the sole purpose of entertaining and following her master's orders (well, i wouldn't mind having one).

Sakurai did his best to teach her on how to act more human but it seems that she is a little too slow on things. One thing led to another and he meets another Angeloid by the name of "Nymph". A little Loli angel that is also known as Beta (Electronic Warfare Angeloid, Type Beta to be more precised). Her mission was simple, to take Ikaros back to the Synapse.

The first season progressed and Ikaros and Nymph had their share on how to live and feel as humans (which of course, they don't really understand). The relationship between the angeloids and Sakurai develop at a slow pace, which makes the story a little interesting perhaps?

The season 2 started of with a bang, it is also the signal of the introduction of another Angeloid, Astraea and she is a "Close-Combat Angeloid, Type Delta". A very beautiful yet very stupid angeloid. She is considered as a very powerful warrior but it seems that she is quite harmless and a bit clumsy at times. Her mission? To exterminate Sakurai once and for all, but it seems that she is having a very hard time on doing it.

Of course, it's not always sunshine and rainbows...a lot of twists has been made to make sure that Sakura's life is not as "Peaceful" as he wanted and the combination of these 3 angels made the story very good, to say the least.



Who wouldn't want three cute angels to keep you company? i sure wouldn't mind if that was me.


The next Anime/Manga is somewhat...err..a bit extreme to others.
The title is "Koe De Oshigoto" Now before you start saying that this anime is insane (which i would agree with you), it deals with a more "Real Life" point of view.

As we know Seiyuu's or Japanese Voice actors are responsible in giving life to our beloved anime characters. But what happens if a 16 yeard old highschool girl tried her hand on "Eroge Voice Acting?". Hmmmm to others that doesn't know what it means, it simply says "Porn voice actors" so to speak.

Yeah, a highschooler saying lewd and erotic words (thats a bit extreme you think?) and making it sound so real.



This is actually just an OVA which is on its first episode, i heard or i guess i think that the second installment of the Ova will be on March ( Crap...so long). This ova reminded me of a similar anime entitled "REC". A Seiyuu that is struggling to get a major role in voice acting.

Anyways back to Koe de Oshigoto, it is a story about Kanna Aoyagi a normal 16 year old high school girl that has a sister that works at an Eroge Company (a company that makes porn games). She was against the idea at first but did her best for the sake of her older sister. Actually she can act better when she enters her "Trance" mode.

When she goes into a trance, she is able to say the things that she wouldn't normally say. These includes erotic words that concerns genitals and other lewd words that is suitable for "ecchiness".

The story was funny as well, but the anime was actually more....whats the word? DETAILED perhaps? well, i doubt if the censorship will go down a little and i think the single episode alone has more "Ecchi" moments compared to any normal anime series combined.

It was really interesting and i kinda like it (haha? don't look at me like that).
Well, i guess i have to wait for the manga updates and the anime updates for Koe de Oshigoto.


Btw, i forgot to add that the Name for the second season of Sora no Otoshimono was "Sora no Otoshimono Forte", it comprises of only 12 episodes but i heard that they are planning to make a movie. I hope it turns out great, with 2 more episodes remaining for season 2 it seems that the anime will be a little too short for comfort. Anyone for season 3? well i can only hope.

I also added an anime opening slot in my blog. I will change it weekly and the change will happen by hmmm...Saturday next week? Anyways, enjoy the changes and i wish you all great days ahead.

I Will also change the songlist for the blog by tomorrow as well.

That's it for today and till then...

Keep the Flames Burning!

The Qualities of a Good Anime

There are a lot of people that have a lot of different tastes when it comes to almost everything in life. Fashion, Lifestyle, Hobbies, Sports and the list goes on and on. One of the things that i will discuss with you today is my personal opinion on what is a good and a bad anime.

Well, like i said this is my own personal preference and many of you might have their own thoughts about the matter as well. To start with, i believe that a good and bad anime/manga is something that leaves an impression or has an "impact" on your emotion. You wouldn't comment if its just "SO~SO" right?

Now let me start with an example of what i think was a bad anime a few years ago. Almost everyone expects that shows ends with a "good ending". If it doesn't then you automatically calls it "bad".

There is only one anime that i have labeled as a bad anime and I first watched it a few years ago. It was "Air" by Kyoto Animation and the year was 2005. Now why did i say that Air was a bad anime? The Drawing is good, the story is nice...But, the ending was sad and depressing. Now i was still young back then and like i said, the only thing that i care about are happy endings.

Air left a bad aftertaste after I watched it and i stayed away from anime's that have the same story line. I stayed away from anime's that have sad and depressing endings. As time went on, more and more anime's known as "slice of life" and "tear jerkers" were created. I had my share of those anime's and i find them nice and interesting to watch.

In a sense, i finally have grown up to my so called "Air Syndrome" and started to find other anime's to watch. Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't ever watch Air again. I consider it as an anime good for watching only once.

Then just a few days ago, I was feeling sick because of the change of weather. Christmas is almost here and it was a little too cold lately. Unfortunately, i had been coughing a lot lately and have a very active "runny nose". To take my mind away from my sickness i thought of watching one of the best rated anime's a few years ago and that was "Clannad".

After watching the first episode, i suddenly realized that I "did" watch the first episode of this anime a few years ago (just the first episode). The drawing and the feel gave me that "Air Syndrome" and i decided to stop watching it way back then. Since i had been looking for something worth watching, i decided to put my doubts behind me and dive head on.

I think i made a mistake, seriously one of the biggest mistake i ever did.
Clannad was an anime that focuses on the emotions of people and it can really leave you with an ache.



First and foremost, let me tell everyone that haven't watched this anime "yet" that if you have a heart disease, or have a high blood pressure...it is best to steer clear away from this anime.

YOU MIGHT NOT SURVIVE TO WATCH THE LAST EPISODE!
Yes, i am serious about it and i sincerely hope that you heed my warning.

To those that believe that they are strong enough, mature enough and able enough to handle it, then by all means try to watch it.




The story revolves around Tomoya Okazaki, you can consider him as a highschool delinquent (typical). He hates the city and the life that he lives and doesn't know what to do with his life. His Best friend Youhei Sunohara is just like him, but deep down has a kind heart when his friends are concerned.

As Tomoya was walking towards school, he meets a girl that is standing at the bottom of the climb and talking to herself. The girl's name was Nagisa Furukawa a shy, clumsy, weak bodied but strong willed person. She wants to re-establish the theater club and wants to create a play about "The Girl that lived in a world that Ended".

It might seem like a typical Harem style of anime (which is what it is) but as the story progressed for the first season it didn't cover too much of the Romantic Side (only at the end). The story focused on the "arcs" of the girls that is always around Tomoya. A lot of people consider the first season as the "Introduction part". The "Get to Know the Characters better" part.

Well aside from Nagisa who is the main heroine of the story, i strongly believed that the Ghost girl "Fuko Chan" was the main attraction of the season. You will love her story arc and will love her character as well. People refer to her as a ghost but that is not entirely true. She is more like a wandering spirit because she is still alive and is in a coma.

Fuko Busies herself everyday by giving away wooden art works that she personally carves (Starfish). She gives them away and hopes that those that receives them will come to her sister's wedding. Tomoya and Nagisa helped her and made her dream possible. The only thing that happened next was, they forgot about her. Well, she still appears every now and then in the story like a "magical girl" that helps out people in their time of great need.

Well enough of the small things about season 1.
Season 2 is the real deal.

I repeat, i congratulate you with completing season 1. Season 2 is the tearjerker and you won't even imagine how many times your heart is going to get crushed in this season, Not to mention...how many times you might actually cry.

Well people can't cry even if they want to when they are all grown up. But sometimes, if you feel like crying then you just go ahead and cry. I did, and it is more than once. This season is really heart breaking and i can't imagine the number of times that i decided to stop watching it and stop the punishment. Still, i watched it till the end which led to more heartbreaking moments and tear jerking seconds.

Season 2 focuses on The relationship of Tomoya and Nagisa, the hardships of graduating and the harsh world when you enter society. Yeah reality after graduation means job hunting, college exams, universities etc etc.

Tomoya and Nagisa decided to live together and form their own family. The hardships that they encountered and the times that they spent together.
They decided to get married and from then on out, the watchers of the anime encountered heart breaking moments.

The People who watched this anime might have said
"How many times will i cry?"
"Oh no I'm crying again?"
"It hurts...when does the hurting stop?"
"Damn i hate this anime!"
"I hate the Company that made this anime!"
"If this doesn't have a happy ending, i'll seriously get pissed!"
"Isn't that more than enough?"

And other similar comments after that...

I don't want to say more than that because it will be a spoiler to those that haven't watched it. You might notice the short story at the beginning of almost all episodes about the girl and the robot. The ending will reveal something surprising about those two characters and they will affect the outcome of the story.

This world, that world, another world and all the countless other worlds that holds limitless possibilities.


My only advice is get your tissue or handkerchief in hand, you will need it (Trust me). To those so called "macho guys" out there, feel free to test yourselves. I admit that i cried while watching this anime and was proud of it. I forgot what it feels like to shed a tear every now and then, i was reminded that i am still capable of doing it and that means that i'm still human.



Now i will say that Clannad is a good anime. After all, i think this is the only anime that made me shed a tear more than twice.Why is Clannad good and why is Air bad? Well the answer is simple, i think i was able to mature enough after watching the anime Air. I think i will be able to handle similar anime's like Clannad, but i don't think that i will watch anything like it after a few days. I still need to recover and my broken heart is still mending.

Till then, Keep the Flames Burning!

If you can change the Past will you do it?

Well some people will say that they won't change the past and what happened is predestined. Changing the past will definitely change the future (Scientifically speaking of course). Some people will however jump at that opportunity, to change something may it be great or small. They can make themselves rich...find the one they love, prevent an accident....become king of the world by wishing on a dragon ball? (Lol).



Anyways, if there was something that is worth changing, no matter the consequence...will you do it? I was thinking along the same lines when i read the Manga "Psyren". This is the story about a world on which almost all of humanity has been wiped out and the only remaining existence is a world where people are turned into machine like creatures called Tavoo (no its not Taboo).

To prevent this, a powerful and mysterious being named "Nemesis Q" gathers people from all over the world and let them find the answers to the question that he/she is seeking. All of these people have one thing in common, they have the "Psyren Cards". These cards allow them to travel to the distant future and try to survive in a harsh and difficult earth.

Ageha Yosiha is an average high school student that will solve your problems for 10,000 yen. May it be fighting someone or just looking for something that you've lost. Her childhood friend Sakurako Amamiya rarely goes to class and when she does, she always seems to be injured in a way. One day, Amamiya was called to the world to play the game that Nemesis Q has started.

Ageha notices her anxiousness and tried to talk to her, the only reply that she was able to say was "Save Me". That was the last time Ageha saw Amamiya. The next thing that happened was Ageha, answering this questionares on a local telephone booth and getting "connected" with the world of Psyren.

He appeared on a world that was in ruin and the first thing he saw was a beast that killed someone. He also saw Amamiya and she helped him clear his so called "First Round". They also met another childhood friend of their's named Hiryu Asaga. After clearing the round, they were able to obtain the power to use their brains capabilities which gives them unique abilities.

I prefer to call them "Espers", Humans that have special powers. Together with Oboro Mochizuki (an actor/Idol)and Kabuto Kirasaki a quick legged, witted, escape artist (not by profession, but someone who just like to run away when trouble is near), they try to prevent the world from turning into a wasteland.



Welcome to the World of Psyren....hope you stay connected or die in the process *evil smirk*.



Till then...Keep the Flames Burning!
