This week's Weekly Shounen Jump wrap-up

Bakuman chapter 68: Wai, I'm really liking the pairing idea of Fukuda x Aoki. Haha, Fukuda really reminds me of Squalo. (I hope he will have same VA as Squalo in the anime ^O^) Ouch, another cliffhanger before hiatus... I hope Tanto doesn't get serialized because I really think Ashirogi team should draw something serious.

Bleach chapter 387: So Tousen really died in this chapter but in a rather pitiful way. I'm glad at least he opened up his heart to Komamura and Hisagi before dying. Poor Hirako... His shikai was cool but it was STILL no use against that mighty Aizen... (but at least Aizen showed a lil surprised look in this chapter) So...Ichigo finally arrived at the scene. I hope he's not gonna get pwned by Aizen so soon after all that expectation. -_^' (Wouldn't that be so freakin' hilarious?)

Naruto chapter 477: More Sasuke vs Danzo... Danzo is like a mutant monster now, pfff. ...and Itachi appeared at the end as an illusion? This whole genjutsu thing reminds me of Mukuro and Fran's abilities. Let's see if Danzo can survive this arc.

Reborn chapter 272: First of all, I'm not happy about the fact that Ghost interrupted the battle's flow so bad because I wanted to see Vongola & Varia pwning Bluebell, Kikyou and Zakuro. ...and Fran's box weapon...pfff little Bel? I'm sure that's not its true form. I mean WHERE'S YOUR FREAKIN' POSE? FROG BOY!!! But it was funny to see how calm Fran was while other ppl with rings were like noooooo my flames are getting absorbed~~~ I liked Mukuro and Chrome's reunion scene too... (I hope Mukuro finds out that it was M.M. who slapped Chrome. I mean what the hell, b*tch...) So Tsuna is about to join the messy battle between Ghost vs Vongola & Varia & Kokuyo. I'll be looking forward to it. ^O^

Top 5 Anime Shota's

Since many other anime bloggers seem to do 'top 5...' or 'best 5'(or even best 10) posts a lot, I decided to do one. The reason I'm doing top 5 anime shota's is that it is easier to narrow the list down compare to best bishies or bishoujos or even loli's. (...and no, not because I'm a shotacon...)
Just to let you know that this list is entirely based on my opinions and can be biased a LOT. (Yeah, most posts like this are biased aren't they?)






#5 - Okita Sougo (Gintama)


Okay so #5 on my list is the pretty boy(but a cheeky bastard LOL) from Gintama, Okita-kun. Well yeah some people might deny the fact that he's a shota but well I think he is, considering that baby face of his...I haven't watched or read this series for like looooong time but I still remember how funny Okita-kun was. I really like the way he talks also. (Apparently he speaks in Edo accent, some people said) Definitely one of my favourite characters in the series! ^O^





#4 - Edward Elric (Full Metal Alchemist)


#4 on my list is the great Edward Elric~ (...and I can hear him yelling for calling him a shota already... Grow up, kiddo if ya don't wanna be one ^_^;) He's definitely one of the most awesome anime protagonists up to date. Not only he's intelligent and brave but he's got a heart of gold. I really like how he's even more animated in the 2nd season plus he's got more variety in fashion than in the 1st season. LOL Let's see if this little guy really becomes together with Winry. ^O^ (Ed: Wut???)





#3 - Mihashi Ren (Ookiku Furikabutte)


#3 on my list is Mihashi-kun, who is probably the most adorable boy in Oofuri. ^O^ I know some people are annoyed by Mihashi's indecisive character but I don't mind that at all. Well, he's my favourite character in the series anyway. ...and I already posted the news about Oofuri anime 2nd season recently. Well, Mihashi is one of the reasons that I find this series enjoyable. ^O^ I'm looking forward to see how much he gets better in the 2nd season.





#2 - Fran (Reborn!)


Tie...Fran...Your tie is done wrong!!! (Pffff)

#2 on my list is Varia's gothic teen(whether he's a teen or not is still a mystery though...) Fran, who is also my favourite character in the series. (Yeah...Hibari got pushed to 2nd...*runs away from Hibari*) This guy...is really something. He made me laugh starting from his debut chapter with that unique character of his. He sure has a strange charisma...Like how he refers to himself as "Me" and the way he speaks in keigo with that monotone voice. His anime voice is extremely charming too. (Squalo taichou~ Bel-senpai~ *$#@&^% kudasai~~~~ LOL) You know he's like a Reborn version of Okita Sougo in a lot of ways LOL. Anyway I hope to see his full potential soon in the manga. (Oh and take off that hat too please...Bel, how dare you making a little boy to wear that heavy & stupid hat...)





#1 - July (Darker than Black)


So adorable.

So #1 on my list is July from DtB. Some of those who watched the 2nd season of DtB might agree with me on this one. I mean he had such a great character development in the 2nd season... Also he was so adorable and fun. (<=Even though he was quiet, seeing him interacting with other characters was so much fun in my opinion) He was not a major character in the 1st season at all but I'm glad the anime staff gave him extra touch to his character in the sequel. I haven't finished watching 2nd season yet but I'm already spoiled with the ending. Awww... The ending is so rushed... But I'm glad Suou and July were able to meet each other again~ (Talking about Suou, she deserves this year's best loli award... ^O^)



Oh yeah so that's it for this boring post. I'll do a different top 5 thingy if I come up with something.

P.S. Apparently weekly shonen jump came out this week so yay~ but I hear it will be on break for 2 WEEKS??? Nooooooooooo that's even worse!

Merry Christmas!

So yeah, this is like a seasonal post for most bloggers but...I really want to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! ^O^
I hope year 2010 will be a great year. ^__^

Random babbling of the day - Oofuri 2nd season

Ookiku Furikabutte anime 2nd season confirmed for spring 2010!
I totally saw this coming any time soon actually.
Yay~ More Mihashi!!! >O<

Reborn chapter 271

We have a really funny chapter this week. LOL 2 things granted in this chapter.
1) It was indeed Fran-centric(comedy-wise that is) even though there was hardly any action. Fran was totally hilarious, hahaha.
2) Last week, I said Bel's pictures were drawn too small. Well, guess what? We had plenty of Bel this chapter. All drawn nice too. Shishishi~

Okay, quite long post this week.



Bel asks Fran why the hack they had to die in the illusion and Fran is like LOL senpai you are missing the freakin' point here, it had to be realistic and illusions are like pranks RIGHT master?
(Fran is like a baby compare to Mukuro when you compare the two standing together like that. Kawaii~ >O<)


Then Mukuro answers that Fran is wrong. LOL Fran is like ooooops and Bel is like you little ****. When Fran says it's probably master's hobby blah blah and Mukuro porks his hat. (Don't worry, people~ He's only porking Fran's hat. It's like those magic tricks with swords and boxes...)


Fran and Bel are so funny. (They are like comedic duo of this series)
...and Fran calls Mukuro pineapple hair(which is true but you shouldn't say that out loud, little Fran~) and gets his hat porked again. Pffffff But ppl are surprised that it was Fran who saved Mukuro. (Yeah, who knew this baby officer of Varia was the one to trick those big scary people at Vindice)


Fran telling Ken to shaddup... Pfff that kid sure likes being sarcastic. But the funniest part was when Kikyou admits that it makes sense if Mukuro's apprentice was the one who got Mukuro out of Vindice, Fran is like yay I'm a celebrity now master and gets his hat porked again.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FRAN FTW!!!!! ^O^
Even though Mukuro was annoyed by Fran in this chapter, I'm sure he does care about his lil student.


Fran kawaiiyo Fran!!! >O<
Don't worry, Fran. Even though you are disliked by some people around you(e.g. members of Varia especially Bel, Ken, M.M., and probably Mukuro too...? I hope not. ^_^;), I will always like you. ^O^
Fran: Hey, you heard that, master? I have fangirls too. 'o'
Mukuro: Shut up, little one. -_^(Porks his hat again)

Bleach chapter 386

So...I ended up blogging about Bleach chapter again. Aaanyway, Tousen's transformation wasn't Venom but...a grasshopper???


MOREOVER, HE CALLS KOMAMURA...UGLY???











...and Tousen gets pwned by Hisagi. (which was like the biggest WTF of this chapter) Good job, Hisagi-san. d-_-d That grasshopper really deserves it.



I probably won't blog about Bleach for a while(unless something really WTF happens in the manga). Anyway Reborn post coming soon. ^O^

Bleach chapter 385 - The many faces of Tousen Kaname

In previous chapter, Tousen turned himself into an egg-faced hollow.


When he snapped in this chapter, he could not control his anger that he had to break his egg mask to speak up. (I mean to practically yell at Komamura...)


...and he's going...resurreccion???





What now. What's next?



Why did I blog Bleach chapter out of blue? I just felt like mentioning this. Tousen seriously pisses me off... He talked so trash to captain Komamura and now he's going total monster now? Wao, now we see another potential crazy power up element here. Vizards going resurreccion... Any bet that Tousen's gonna turn into something like this?

Reborn chapter 270

THANK YOU AMANO-SENSEI.

Okay, so that was an amazing chapter!!! So basically what happened is Mukuro and Fran used illusions so that those bastards will think they have defeated Vongola & Varia. (But even as illusions, the scenes where Hibarin and Xanxus were getting pwned were still painful to see, ouch TOT) I'm sure some people are reminded of Getbackers. Now we need someone saying Mido Ban's line.



Thank you.

Why so little pictures this time? Because I did not want to upload the pics of fake Vongola and Varia getting pwned. TOT (...and the illusion scenes of Vongola & Varia in grudge mode were pretty creepy too. Mukuro and Fran sure love horror movies. LOL)
Well, Bel was pretty cool this chapter but all the panels he was in were so small so did not feel like uploading them.
(That "Ciao" was priceless btw...)

Anyway I'll be looking forward to the next week's chapter and hopefully Fran will have a main spotlight rather than having Mukuro do 3/4 of the job. (I mean Mukuro is awesome but we have already seen what he's capable of...)

Random babbling of the day - Bakuman anime

There is a news that Bakuman is getting an anime next fall! Wao, I expected that to happen any time soon since its tankobon sales are great. I wonder if Mashiro is going to be voiced by a female VA? Anyway I'll watch it for sure when it comes out since this is one of my favourite series in Jump.
Speaking of Jump, Nurarihyon no Mago is also getting an anime. Maybe I should pick up the manga again?

Reborn chapter 269

So Ryohei activates his vongola box against Kikyou. (Wai~ 1st Sun Guardian is a hottie. >_< He looks more like Yamamoto than Ryohei though...)


Hibari-tan kita---!!!
So Hibarin actually shows some respect to Ryohei in this chapter. WAO Hibarin, you've changed. ^O^


Oh no! Is Hibarin defeated just like that? I'm thinking somebody else took the hit. (Probably Kusakabe?) Anyway find out in next chapter. (Dundundun- I hate cliffhangers -_-;;)

Anyway a pretty good chapter again with Ryohei's awesomeness and Hibarin even without Varia. (But Fran, get your @ss here and fight already) It's been a while since Ryohei was in decent action so I hope he doesn't get defeated by Kikyou badly.

Bonus:


This one's a cover for one of the latest character singles. I really like Hibarin's new song called Horizon. (Kondo-san's voice is so WAO)
