INUYASHA: The Final Act DVD 1 special

I bought the DVD just last Saturday but I haven’t had the time to post it yet ^^;;

I’m not sure if the English companies plan on releasing the covers the exact same way as the Japanese ones, so I’m going to scan the little gifts anyway… Plus, the calender is for January and February, I doubt they’d release it now ;)

(Remember to click on it for the FULL size) Please do not re-post anywhere else without crediting me, thanks! :D

There was a special disc with the cast talking and role-playing and all, but I won’t be uploading that because I’d rather promote the buying of the DVD for it … >>;;

And I won’t be on time for the second DVD’s calender (March and April) or maybe I will if I order it now…

P.S. I’m finally up to typesetting chapter 1 of “Yashio and Mikumo”…

Nyarth’s Top 10 Winter Anime Songs of 2009/10

Well, it’s that time of the season again, where I sort out and judge my top 10 anime OP/EDs of a particular season that nobody even cares about. This time around, it’s Winter season of 2009/10, and being truthful here there wasn’t much significant songs that I “like-liked” compared to previous times. Sure in my earlier post I said that I really liked Sora no Woto’s OP, but a few weeks past the song seems to have deteriorated for me… But here you go, Nyarth’s Top 10 Winter Anime Songs of 2009/10.

Of course Durarara!! takes the No. 1 spot for its innovative rap styled ending sequence, quite inevitable to say at least.

1. Durarara!! ED – “Trust Me” by Yuya Matsushita

TRUST ME TRUST ME TRUST ME YEAH!

2. Baka Test OP – “Perfect-area Complete!” by Natsuko Aso

3. Ladies vs Butlers ED – “my starry boy” by Mai Nakahara

4. Seikon no Qwaser OP – “Errand” sung by Faylan

5. Sora no Woto OP – “Hikari no Senritsu” by Kalafina

6. Ookami Kakushi OP – “Toki no Mukō Maboroshi no Sora” by FictionJunction

7. “Shy Girls” by Chihara, Kotobuki, Yahagi and Hikasa

8. “LOVE x HEAVEN” by Ayako Kawasumi, Mai Nakahara, Rie Kugimiya and Ami Koshimizu

9. Dance in the Vampire Bund OP – “Friends” by Aiko Nakano

10. Omamori Himari ED – “BEAM my BEAM” by Himarinko L. Shizukuesu

I have to watch Baccano! at some point this year…

Shugo Chara! Party! Episode 24

The new episode of Shugo Chara! is officially on the internet!

In the new episode of Shugo Chara! the guardians arrive just in time to see the X eggs that escaped from Rikka’s house transform into a giant X character! I really don’t want to give it all away but in the end Rikka actually character transforms with Hotaru to make an awesome new person! Also, there’s another person who comes back from his long trip to see Amu again.

Here’s a hint:
He has blue hair, acts like a cat, and can totally make Amu blush!

Do you know who it is?

Tune in next week’s new episode to find out if you’re right!

Favorite Winter 2009-10 OP/ED

Image has no relavance whatsoever to this post, really.

I just felt like posting this, since I am bored.
Also, these are just my personal opinions.

Favorite openings:

5. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu – “Perfect-area complete!” by Asou Natsuko

Nothing really special and not really infectious, but I like it.

4. Katanagatari – “Meiya Kadenrou” by Minami Kuribayashi

^ Same as above.

3. Sora no Woto – “Hikari no Senritsu” by Kalafina

Peaceful and calming song.
I also love the way they used the instruments in this one.

2. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun – “LEVEL5-Judgelight-” by fripside

fripSide <3 (YES, I AM BIASED.)
Not as good as only my railgun, but still cool.
(Just in case you’re wondering, this OP still counts since it aired during the Winter 2009-2010 season.)

1. Durarara!! – “Uragiri no Yuuyake” by Theatre Brook

I…I have no idea how to describe it’s awesomeness.

Favorite endings:

5. Okamikakushi – “Tsukishirube” by Nanri Yuuka

Nice ballad. I know that there’re probably better EDs out there than this one, but…

4. Dance in the Vampire Bund – “Tsumeato” by hibiku

I don’t even watch Dance in the Vampire Butts Bund, but heck, a few seconds into the song and somehow I had this feeling it would be my type of song. (And it did not let me down on that.)

3. Sora no Woto – “Girls, Be Ambitious” by Tomatsu Haruka

A cutesy, catchy, hopping pop track (which can cause an earworm after listening to it after a few times.)
What’s there not to like?

2. Durarara!! – “Trust Me” by Matsushita Yuya

Laid-back, carefree J-POP with a bit of Engrish and it’s easy listening.
I also like the animation in it.

1. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu – “Baka Go Home” by milktub

This was placed first, just because. I mean really, you don’t see songs often that have funny manly lyrics , like “If we stay idiots, we’ll be manly men! Is that our common sense and the lack thereof!”…or something like that.
Aside from the random implied BL, (…why are so many guys? Not that I mind though.) it is infectious and a lot of fun to listen to.

Obligatory mentions(?):

Okamikakushi – “Toki no Mukou, Maboroshi no Sora” by FictionJunction – I prefer the game’s opening better.
Gyagu Manga Biyori + – “Kibou no Uchuu no…” by Ueda Yuuji – lol epic lol

Eden Of The East

Really enjoying watching Eden Of The East recently, great story and great animation.

The series is only eleven episodes but still manages to draw you into the story, there’s meant to be two movies coming out later on, which is a pity because I want to see what happens next now! The other side affect is that I really want a flip phone, I’m not sure if that happens to everybody or just me.

Heroman: Stan Lee

 

The anime subcontractor Studio Wanpack Reports that it produced the key drawings for the 12th installment of the Heroman anime from American comic pioneer Stan Lee and the BONES anime studio last month. Wanpack’s report is the first indication that the long-gestating project is in actual production.

An American kid named Joey lives in an urban city & has always wanted to become a hero. Unfortunately he’s just an orphan working part time to support his grandma and himself. After he watched a toy commercial on a new robot action figure, Joey believe he’ll gain strength if he obtains one. The only robot toy he can get his hands on is a broken one that was abandon by a rich school bully. Feeling pity for the trashed action figure, Joey took it home to repair it. Little did he know, that once he repairs the toy, it’ll make his hero dream become a reality.

SOOO Stan Lees tryna get into the anime world Although hes already started creating a manga and another series called Ultimo and also developing an animated television series named Quartz with GDH

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ?

Avatar in 3D + Pandora Hearts

This morning at precisely 12:00pm, I went with my mom and a family friend to our local movie theater to watch AVATAR in 3D

…Wow, that past sentence sounds like a five year old at show and tell, talking monotonously about his incredibly boring summer.

Anyways, the movie was AWESOME..BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN SO FAR. It had the right amount of romance, tragedy, happiness, and violence. The special effects, were of course, AMAZINGLY DONE – the beautiful scenes, places, animals, plants and WOW. It even had a moral to it – DON`T MESS WITH NATURE and that fighting terror with terror has got to be the stupidest thing to do on a foreign planet.

James Cameron is such a master, He wrote, directed and produced this amazing film, as well as Titanic and countless other films I don’t know – someone give him a large sized cheese burrito topped with extra salsa, cause that 2h and 45m was the best use of my time this March break

ALSO, to add to “productive” day I’ve had, or should I say, am having, is that I started another manga – Pandora Hearts!

I just realized the association of Planet Pandora in Avatar and Pandora Hearts….LMAO.

Well, most of my friends say it’s ok, the art looks pretty good, better than waiting around for other manga on my list to update. (hint hint I put in a new page!)

Speaking of Pandora, I keep juxtaposing it with Pandora’s Box, the one that was released with all the evil spirits and hope at the very bottom? But heck, Pandora has got to be the mythical character with the most curiousity and least self control in the world…

But then again, back then they had people who married their siblings (INCEST), and people running around naked or draped in bedsheets (togas) – therefore I am assuming that the people who gave Pandora the box didn’t know of reverse psychology.

I am also starting to read Firethorn, I was literally on the verge of sleep when I decided to blog. Now i know why people read books before they go to sleep :O (sudden realization :) )

CHECK MY NEW ANIME AND MANGA PAGE!

Mood: Accomplished

Word of the Day: Drudge (meaning servants who do labouring tasks)

Doing: Sleeping in the Hallelujah Mountains (reference to AVATAR)
