Still alive

My finals are almost over, but I don't really have time to post any news so I'll just a do a quick Top Ten!!!



Top Ten Anime Girls

Anime Girls...Well to put it quite simply: Anime: come for the girls, stay for the plot. That's the way it is, there over sized bozongas and likeable personalities make us keep coming back. So I'm gonna count down the top ten anime girls today. Two rules though: one girl per series, and looks can only count for so much, so they actually have to do something in the series.With that said let's get started.

10) Nami from One Piece
What is not to like about Nami? She's a great warrior, a rich ass girl, a redhead, and she's not afraid to accept any challenge, especially if it involves money. Best of all, she's useful all the time in the One Piece series! The reason she ranks rather low on the list? Bitch would steal ma money!

9)Yoko from Gurren Lagann
Although I stopped the series short due to money issues, she seemed to be quite a useful character. And this time I'm keeping it short and sweet, boobies and guns...nice

8) Izumi Konata from Luck Star
The main character of this epic comedy series, she is perfect, the girl for me, a lazy otaku, that plays video games, and does one night cram sessions, she is just awesome. Only one thing...she in the 11th grade and she looks 8 years old...and shes flatchested. But, she is still epic so I give her a place on this list.

7) Winry Rockbell from Full Metal Alchemist =
Although it's hard to say if she's useful in Full Metal Alchemist, she's certainly a key part of it considering she fixes Edwards Auto-Mail and (by accident) saves him on one occasion, so it's safe to say she does something in the series. With that said she's basically the equivalent of Yoko, not to sound too sexist but, a girl mechanic? Nice hehe.

6) Yoruichi Shihoin from Bleach
Masculine voice aside, Yoruichi is pure awesome, she can turn into a cat, she knows how to flaunt her body (without being to in your face about it like Rangiku Masumoto, who is basically a whore). She is constantly a key part of the series (or at least she was for a few arcs) and I'm just gonna say it, my favorite scene with her is when she puts on that black sweater when she transform into a human in front of Ichigo...damn...nice...

5) Misa Amane from Death Note
Now a running theme from Death Note is that female characters are weak and useless, but Misa Amane is an exception, sort of. She does play a key role being "used" constantly and does many things about halfway through the series, playing the part of Kira for a while. With that said Misa Amane (or as we call her in da hood daaaaaaamn (with apologies to storm dain)) is AWESOME she is so sexy and considering she's a model they have an excuse so she not eye candy for the sake of eye candy, it's her job.

4) Chi from Chobits
Although it's established she is useless (in fact she's a burden) the series revolves around her so I can't say she's useless. With that in mind (excusing the fact she's a computer) Damn! Chi is fiiiiine. She is sexy as all hell and I have nothing more to say.

3) Sango from Inyuyasha
Simply put she is cool...not awesome or sexy just cool, although the giant boomerang on her back is ridiculous she is still a badass and she does contribute to the series by actually doing something which is why she is here instead of Kagome.

2) Rena from .Hack//Legend of the Twilight
Useful and although we never see her actual character, her unique avatar is certainly quite sexy. I just have nothing more to say other than...nice :P hehe.

1) Hinata from Naruto Shippuden
Ok soooo, she's usually only involved in filler but when shes part of the story she usually does something so it counts! Put quite simply, Hinata is awesome, she's shy she's sexy and...my god she-shes just great fuck Temari, Ino, and Sakura. Hinata is the best.

So that's my top ten anime girls, list your own top ten why dontcha and let me know what you think of mine.

Cheerio My Good Man, How About Some Anime and Tea?

U.K. Anime?: A handful of animes were just licensed but not but Adult Swim or 4Kids (thank god) but by Beez entertainment which is a branch of Bandai established in the U.K. It is said that Beez will release Durarara!! (yep those two exclamation points are totally necessary...right?), Vampire Knight, Eden of the East, Mobile Suit Gudam 00, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation. In addition it has licensed Baccano! aniume series and has added Outlaw Star to its anime line up. It's good news because countries like the U.K. and the U.S.A. often get screwed in a bad place with sharp objects when it comes to releases and translations.

Fanime Convention Across the Pond: Continuing with our U.K. theme it is confirmed that co-owner of anime studio Gainax (Hiroyuki Yagami) will be having a "more refined" Fanime convention as opposed to Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. It is said the Project is suppose to be set in the early 1900's England which just leaves me flat out confused. Personally I'll stick to the conventions that feature Narutards like me, as well as Yoko and Misa cosplayers.

Tourism Targeted at Otaku's: Since I love repeating things I'll say it again, the city of Kobe is beginning to target tourism at Oatku's to go to Japan, why they need to do that I haven't a clue. The city of Kobe started airing 4 minutes clips on YouTube promoting tourism. The clip follows a young college student wondering aimlessly around they city and a chicken appears to guide her (I really wish I was making that up) with English subtitles it follows her and the chicken around the city. The short is insanely entertaining and made me want to watch Naruto The Abridged Series for some reason. However if I ever were to visit Kobe all I'm going to be thinking of is giant chickens in Kimonos.

Anime Character of the Day: Yoko from Gurren Lagann
Yoko quote: "What's this little furry thing hiding out in my cleavage?"
