2nd quarter is about to start soon and I have a lot to catch up on. My grades aren't doing so well, so I have decided to take a little vacation from the Internet, video games, and other social activities...

???: What social activities?! You got no life!

( gun shot )

Where was I? Oh yeah. And social activities to catch up on my grades. Just taking a week off has helped me a little. Now the football is almost over, I might have better time to actually DO my homework and study. This is a big leap for me, I know, but it is a chance I'm willing to take. I'll start as soon as 2nd quarter begins. The time I get back will be when my grades are better, or if I finally caved in. I really hope that it's the grades. I cave in so easily. Before I leave for a while, I will say this...

Understand.... A Life Story

What it means I won't tell, but since I know no one will read this because it's 10:30 P.M. over here and no one reads this any way, I just wanted to say that. I also said that on my Facebook as well. If I can get the correct answer without hints, I would give them, $1 Billion in an alternate dimension. Other than that, you have understood what a life story really is and what you should do. Oh, I wasn't sappose to say that. Well, there's your hint. Good Luck!

GTO:

Great Teacher Onizuka also know as GTO is about a ex-leader biker named Onizuka. He plans on becoming the best teacher due to the fact he has been treated as trash when he was in school. The other reason he wants to become a teacher is to hit on his female students. The way he thinks and acts are two totally different things when it comes to women. He'll either think as a pervert or as act as an awesome guy. Other then that, this is one teacher you don't want to mess with. Within the anime itself, it is filled with tons of comedy. A weird opening, but it's nothing from stupidity. If you want to watch something funny, GTO is your anime.

Moon Phase:

A little vampire girl, named Hazuki, lived in this huge castle for most of her life and she wants out. A photographer named Kohei Morioka is out looking for the best supernatural pictures out there so he decides to go visits the castle Hazuki lives in. He was told to set her free and because the story wouldn't be more interesting with them living in a huge castle for all eternity, he sets her free. For some strange reason, Hazuki loves dressing up as a cat, but she still has that little girl charm. Freaks me out a bit, but hey, that's anime. This iis siad to be a supernatural romance comedy but I really don't care. As long as it makes me laugh, I can care less about romance. Other then that, it's an amazing anime.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ( When they [the cicadas] cry ):

I know the title is confusing, but really in english is When They Cry. When The Cicadas Cry is said to be the literal term. When They Cry is my first psychological horror anime I had to watch since that insident with Shuffle! It takes place in the year 1983 and is mainly about a boy named Maebara Keiichi that comes to the small village of Hinamizawa. He then met 4 girls and became friends with them. Their names are Rena, Mion, Rika, and Satoko. There is no main story because the anime had 3 or 4 story arcs. These story arcs get confusing but can be interesting. Each story arc has it's own plot twist that makes my head spin. I had to look on Wikipedia just to look for answers. The entire web is confusing but if you look closely at times, you're able to tell what episodes connect to which. If you still don't know how the story arcs work, ( if enough people want to know ) then I'll make a visual presentation and the connections to each episodes. When I said that this anime was a psychological horror, I mean pretty girls with axes or something sharp that can kill you did try to kill of Keiichi. This might not mean anything to most of you but just watching a guy kill two girls in his room with a baseball bat and then killing himself by cutting his own neck with his fingernails kinda distubs me. The funny thing about this anime is that it was also labled as a Harem. This was basicly the main reason I watched this show. Some humor is given in this anime, but you get so into it you can care less. As for the anime itself, WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Halo Legends is the new anime short films such as The Animatrix, and Batman: Gotham Knight. Until now, the stories featured in Halo Legends has been a mystery to me, but now I know. -Here-

I also took a look at the creators of each shorts and I was surprised to not even know some of these people:

Bones is in charge with the short Prototype. Prototype is about a Marine sent to destroy a prototype power armor, but disobeys when some people are under attack by Covenant and he uses it to help them out. Bones also created Eureka Seven, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Ouran High School Host Club.

Production I.G. are creating Duel and Homecoming. Duel takes place during the formation of The Covenant and Homecoming is about the Spartan-II project and stuff. Production I.G. is well known for Ghost In The Shell, but also made FLCL and helped make the video game PaRappa The Rapper.

Studio 4*C are in the process of making two films for Halo Legends. Origins is about the Halo history, ( said to be in two parts ) and Babysitter is about the rivalry between Spartans and ODSTs. Although Studio 4*C doesn't make any famous anime, they have participated in The Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knight. They have also created the music video for Linkin Park's "Breaking the Habit."

Last, but not least, is Toei Animation. They only have one short called, Odd One Out, which is about a Spartan with the numbers 1337. How does that sound familar? ( 1337 = Leet ) Anyway, Toei Animation is very well known for the Dragon Ball series, but also for Yu-Gi-Oh, One piece, and even Digimon. ( Isn't that just hunting me down )

There is a 5th one, but I really don't know what they do. As long as they don't suck, I'm okay with that.
