So Sorry, would you like a cookie?

*Sorry for my lack of posts but with the Holidays and whatnot it's almost impossible to have a few spare minutes*

I like to try something new with my blog. Rather than spending an hour doing research and such, causing me to miss several blogs I will try to do some short segments and such, anime you need to check out, manga you need to check out, great anime character, great moments in anime stuff like that. So let's get cracking

Death Note

"I am righteous!" L/Light Yagami Chapter 2

"I just can't stand when someones cell phone rings when I am talking" L Chapter 11

"I feel like I'm watching a sitcom" Ryuk

Death Note is one of the most interesting and complex manga of ALL time. The plot goes like this: Light Yagami is a high school student on the right track, number one student in Japan. But he's bored, really bored. So when he get his hands on the Death Note (a notebook that kills people) and realizes that he can cure the world of hate he starts to kill. That alone makes me adicted but considering our two main characters (L and Light) it gert even better.

The good: The characters in this series are great each with their own unique personality, and traits. The plot is pure awesome notebook that kills someone? Sign me up. The art style is FANTASTIC it has that realistic/anime looks that's hard to explain. The pacing is excellent although it got just A TAD bumpy at times they always kept the plot moving making sure to keep our interest. Some of my favorite parts our the death note rules, it's really cool how they explain the death note in great detail and at times it fixes some plotholes (though other times it may create a minor one)

The bad: Some of the explanations can get complicated and whilist I followed it all pretty well, most people get lost with the explanations. Another thing I liked less than some other parts (but I still loved) was the first part of the series. Most people stopped reading after L died (it wasn't that bad it was great) I however LOVED Near and Mello even more than L. L got a little to blandish at times for me (though he's still my favorite anime character of all time) and could get a little to eccentric.

Anime News and Quikie Review

Adult Swim MOAR JAPANIMA: Adult Swim could very well be your one stop spot for anime soon, having Bleach, premiering new episodes of FMA: Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost In The Shell, Inyuyasha and ANOTHER new anime called Kekkaishi. Premiering TONIGHT at 12:30 and re-airing at 4:30 it is worth a look see. The series revolves around Yoshimori Sumimura and Tokine Yukimura and are apparently some sort of magical samurais, protectors of their land. The series is aimed at teenage boys (five bucks says there is an awkward romance) and the manga is among the bestselling in Japan receiving some awards and frequently appearing on the bestseller list. Now if Adult Swim could just start airing Death Note I'd never leave Adult Swim ever again.

Hooray for Illegal: It is confirmed that an unauthorized manga scanning site is among the top 1000 visited everyday. It has around 4.2 MILLION unique visitors and 1.1 BILLION page views. Now this is good news/bad news for anime fans. In one case it means that there is hope for those of us who have low budgets and are unable to afford a weekly or even a monthly trip to the Manga/Graphic Novel section of Barnes & Noble (or whatever your local book store is). But on the other hand that means with something like this in the spotlight there could be an increase in the crackdown of copyright infringement for owners of the mangas (like Viz Media). For those that have money please support the official release or Chuck Norris will get you...I promise on that.
