GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Sep 28, 2009

Hi, guys. I haven't done a blog in awhile, and well, I figured I might as well.

So... well, I did have a blog planned... I just need to get to typing it up. I haven't because... well...

I had my appendix removed. Yeah... And I haven't been too up to typing. But, I'm getting better. But, let me tell you right now... it hurts!

But, ignoring that... as best as I can... I finally finished FullMetal Alchemist. Well, I still need to watch half of the movie, but I saw that awhile back, so it doesn't matter. My thoughts on the show?

It's good. Maybe not one of my favorites, but still pretty good. Though, I don't see why it's considered the greatest dub ever. I'm not saying it's bad. It's just... I still say that the Beck dub rules over all!

But, that's not to say it isn't good. Esppecially when you consider that the writing is in english... and yet they're german... Go figure.

What do I plan to watch next? Well, in the new series department, I still have alot of GetBackers to finish... And I also have a bit of GTO left. Then I also have shows from On Demand (yes, that's the resource I've been talking about all this time) to watch.

Though, for the time being, I've been rewatching Suzuka and Tsubasa. And I'm thinking of watching Tenchi Universe again. Try to cheer myself up a bit.

Oh, and a little something I know you'll all enjoy. My NEW top 10 anime list. I've been thinking about this for a little while, and decided to post it.

Okay, so starting at number 10: Slayers!

Well, most of the voices in it are the ones I grew up with when I watched Pokemon, BUT, thing is, the plot is aimed more for teenagers, and Pokemon is... yeah... Also, the new Pokemon is really... well, I did watch an episode a few days ago, so I can't say anything too bad, but remember, this was after I had part of my insides taken out! Which do you think hurt worst?

Now,there may be something more deserving of my top 10 spot, but Slayers is what I've chosen.

Number 9: Case Closed!

Okay, the fact that I watch at least one episode per week says something. And, while I'm not a fan of mystery shows, I will watch them if I like it enough. And, well, combind the fact that it's anime with it's gimmick, and well, you got something I'll watch.

What's the gimmick, you ask? Well, a 17 year old detective gets shrunk to the size of a second grader! If that doesn't lead to something interesting, I don't know what does! Plus, I like the way they handle it. Jimmy didn't de-age, but just shrunk. Normally, if a character de-ages, you're left to question how old they will be when they go back to normal (as in if they where that way for a year, would they gain the year, or go back to the age they were when they de-aged). But, if they shrink, the age isn't a question. Height maybe... but that is much less confusing.

Number 8: Suzuka!

Now, this may be cheating, since I'm not a huge fan of it, but hey, it has Miki, right?

Not to mention, for as much as I joke about him, Yamato is a pretty likable main character. And Suzuka just needs to get over her little... okay, I'm gonna stop myself for a, spoilers, and b, I may have just been really rude. Uh... MIKI HASHIBA IS HOT!

Okay, starting now, these are the ones I am absolutely sure I love. Starting with Number 7: Midori Days!

Now, this is one of the latest series I completed. But, it was seriously good. At least I thought so.

And it had some of the coolest characters, as you saw when Seiji (the main character) got to my top 5 anime characters list. What else can I say? This show was really good for me.

Number 6: Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad!

Good music, great characters you can relate to, and being one of the few slice-of-life shows I've seen that shows the darker side of life.

I really can;t think of much else to say. Uh... it's awesome?

Number 5: Mars Daybreak!

Alright, well, considering I'm planning on naming my first born son after the main character, I think that says how much I love the show there. Also, it was pretty good. Maybe not the best, but I still like it. Not much else to say...

Number 4: Gad Guard!

Okay, this, I have alot to say for. Gad Guard was really the first more... adult anime I saw (unless you count the Toonami version of Tenchi, a.k.a editted version). However, it's also the first mature anime I ever saw. By which I mean, it's not just guys fighting for... well, just so they can fight. Plus, it's not just trying to give some cliche'd lesson about the true meaning of blah blah... It's about a boy, Hajiki, having deal with different people in his life. The giant fighting robots are just a bonus.

But, seriously, this is one of those rare shows that doesn't seem like it's been done many times before. I'm not exactly too sure how to describe it, since a, I'm not good with words, and b, it's hard to explain until you experience it for yourself. Heck, it's likely because of this show that I know how short time is (episode 14, the first episode I saw).

Either way, this show had a big impact on my life and helped mature me into the man I am now.

Number 3: ToHeart!

Do not ask me why I love this so much. I just do for some reason. It's just something nice to sit down and watch... whenever. Day, afternoon, evening, night, late night... whenever. It all feels right.

Not to mention having the anime character I relate most to. Hiroyuki Fujita. Plus, I've seen it a few times through. Sure, 13 episodes isn't much. But, hey, I'm lazy. If I watch a show more than one time through, that has to mean something!

What more can I say? ToHeart is awesome. I just hope they dub Remember My Memolries soon. ... What?! I don't care if it wasn't as good as the original ToHeart. I still wanna see it.

Number 2: Ninja Nonsense!

Face it, this was gonna get a high spot on my list. And why not number 2? It was great. Short... but still very funny. And it had one of the greatest characters... in anything. Onsokumaru!

Sure, it's too... sick and messed up at times, but still very good. Now, I admit, it's hard for me to watch. I mean, it's hard to find episodes online, and buying the DVDs is out of the question. So, when I can watch it, it's more of a treat.

And Number 1 is...

TSUBASA!

If you didn't see this coming... what is wrong with you?

Anyway, I don't think I need any explanations. You guys all know I love this. All I do is praise it!

Seriously though. Any time I talk about it, I can do nothing but talk about how awesome I think it is. BUT... but... if you don't like it, that's fine. I will not rip your head off or anything. As long as your sensible about it, I could care less if you said you didn't like it.

So... I guess that's it.

Oh, I should have that special blog I mentioned before done soon. It will be up before the 7th, no worries. I have something special for that day. You'll see.

So, that's it I guess.

Thanks for reading and can protect, then want to protect.
