Reflection In The Mirror (Anime Angel)

/
Justin just gave you his reflections of anime characters that resemble him. Well now it is my turn and I'm going all out on this one. lol

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who are the anime characters I resemble most of all?


Haruhi Fujioka

Haruhi definitely resembles me. She has this attitude to certain things nonchalantly, and sometimes I can be that way as well. Whenever the host club (aka Tamaki) gets all freaky, I react the same way she reacts. Also she is one of my fav anime characters of all time.












2. Maka Albarn

Maka is a bit of a bookworm and unfortunately so am I. She catches up on her studies and hates to fail. Same with me and school. Studying to keep my status and to get smarter are two things me and her have in common. She is also stubborn which describes me as well.










3. Liz

Surprisingly I consider Liz (of Soul Eater) a part of the many voices in my head. She knows how to get Death the Kid together from his symmetry rants like when I'm with my friends.





4. Tohru Honda

Most definitely Tohru is me 100% of the time. Tohru loves to see people happy and tries to cheer everyone up. She is so protective of her friends and says sorry for things she really hasn't done. I'm exactly the same way. I love Tohru's spirit and she is so innocent to boot especially the scene of Haru and the president of the student consul. ^-^ rofl!

Well that's it for now. If I have any more characters I'll put them up for you guys to see. Thank you for reading and commenting. Anime Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reflection In The Mirror (Justin)

/
Anime Angel and I were talking and we figure we reveal our personality or events based on Anime characters. Since we have both have watched many Anime over the years, there is a wide range of characters that reflect us. I'm going to choose my characters based on events, stages and personality.

Shinji Ikari (The Shell Stage) - In Childhood , Junior High School and parts of High School I was Shinji. I could not open up to anybody. I was stuck in this shell of self grief and pity, and believe everything was fault. Shinji and I are similar with the Father issues, only mine were different. Just like Shinji I had to go to the darkest depth of my mind, to find the light I' am today.


Rick Hunter (Love Life) - LOL if you never seen Robotech The Macross Saga, then you are missing out on a great love triangle. Rick Hunter love life is very similar to mine it's scary. LOL both fell in love with a singer, didn't work and met a Lisa Hayes. The ups and downs and being under Minmei's spell is pure reflection of a past relationship.


Kazuya Shibuya or Naru The Narcissist - I have been accused on many occasions of being a narcissist. For the record I'm not a narcissist. I do not think I'm better than anyone else. However I will admit I' am a full blown smart ass. Like Naru I really don't have patience or time for the little things and tend to not pay attention to it. This leaves people to believe, that I think I'm better than them. The truth is like Naru, I just don't care for things unimportant if it's something if I know you can handle yourself.


Shu Strength My friend said my ability to endure is like Shu. This is actually my favorite one. Regardless of the how dark, hellish and ugly Shu's world got, he always saw the beauty in humanity and everyone.
A huge test in life is the ability to endure. Just like Shu regardless of what is thrown, I know there is always a light waiting to shine :).

Renton (Overall Me) Renton is cool, naive, driven and passionate about his views. Minus the constant whining, I'm Renton to the core.

Pokemon SoulSilver Review

/

The well awaited SoulSilver Pokemon game
had hit stands on March 14 and is better than ever before.

Story- Just as in every Pokemon game known to man, you as a
new pokemon trainer are off on your first journey. Although your
journey is much different then in the past. First, you have new
pokemon to start off with; Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile. These
are different than the the other pokemon you could choose from.
Apparently Team Rocket are up to their tricks again (after 2 or 3 years) and you meet
a new rival who seems to be part of Team Rocket. If you played all the other pokemon games then this may seem easy for you. If your a
beginner, then you well have a lot of fun.

Gameplay- The gameplay is very easy to follow. It's the same gameplay since Pokemon Blue Version.
However some of the features are cool and much better to control. Any pokemon you have as the leader
your party can walk with you just like in Pokemon Gold when you had Pikachu.
The menu is now at the bottom of the screen so you don't have to press another button. You can touch it with your stylus. New features
for the menu and your bag is a new feature too. Depending if your playing as a boy or a girl the bag
will be a backpack or a handbag. When you press the bag by using X or using the stylus, instead of
having just the bag show up, your character will show up as a 3D model on the top of the screen.
The menu has the pokenav like in Pokemon Emerald but this time has radio and much more
no spoilers). Like I said if you played the previous game, its all the same.

Graphics- As you begin the graphics are the same except for the bag feature and the buildings.
The buildings are in 3D like in Pearl, Diamond, and Platinum but different locations.

Sounds- There is a different remix per say of the battle theme and have different music for each town you
visit and when your on your bike.

Replay- Like any other pokemon game you can play this over again and again with new pokemon
start with.

Rating- I give this game a B+. I love the pokemon games but some things are repetive. Although the graphics
and other features are awesome to play with. Anime Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apollo's Song Review

/
Is it better to have loved than lost than to never had loved at all? This question is raised in Apollo's Song by Osamu Tezuka. Osamu Tezuka is known as The Godfather of Anime, with a classic under his belt such as Astro Boy. This book grabbed me when I entered Barnes & Nobles. Is this book worth the purchase or the only song you will hear is horror?


Story - Shogo Chikaishi is one unfortunate soul. His life experiences have made him incapable of love. In fact Shogo goes into a state of rage when he see's any forms of love. When Shogo walks pass a happy lovely couple of Birds, he is in rage of their affection and kills them. This action lands him into Psychiatric Care, where Shogo will undergo Electroshock Therapy. The therapy was design for Shogo to come face to face with his misdeeds, instead it lands him in court of a Goddess. The Goddess then punishes Shogo for his deeds. He will love the same woman over and over for eternity. There is a catch, at some point Shogo will watch the love his life die. He will learn the lesson of love and lost over and over again.

I really love this story it's well written and has great pacing. There are so many questions that Osamu Tezuka raises. Can someone incapable of love learn to love? Will you still be there for your lover if they woke up unattractive? How deep will your love take you? Will you die for the person you love? I really love the human issues Osamu Tezuka showed in this Manga. He shows us through Shogo life, that experiences and our upbringing play a major role on the person we will become. For instance I will give a slight spoiler. Shogo's mother is a whore. Anytime Shogo would want his mother affection he would be abused. Anytime he looked for love he was stabbed by it. It's only natural from that experience he would despise any forms of love. This manga explores the most desire emotion in human existence, and by the final chapter it will leave you thinking.

Art The art work is classic Osamu Tezuka style. It reminded me a lot of Astroy Boy. The Manga version I have is an updated one. The pictures are remastered and more clear to see. The pictures and each emotion comes to life.

Final Grade - Apollo's Story gets an A+. I couldn't stop reading it. Great theme, great characters and it really makes you think. This Manga is for older audiences 18 and up due to sexual scenes and nudity. Don't let that stop you it's a great read and should be in your library.

Survival Of The Dead Review

/
Here is the review of "Survival Of The Dead." Synopsis - Survival of the Dead takes place in a desperate, nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth, relentlessly attacking the living. It is the story of Plum Island - a beautiful refuge whose isolation allows two powerful families to maintain a semblance of order in the wake of the zombie holocaust. But as the inhabitants slowly die off, the two clans become sharply divided: The O'Flynns believe that the undead must be destroyed without exception, while the Muldoons insist that afflicted loved ones be kept "alive" until a cure is found. Into this situation wander a small group of National Guard troops who have decided to strike out on their own in an effort to survive.



DN Angel Review

/
Hello everyone. This is the review of DN Angel. Ever wondered of having a line of phantom thieves in your family? Just ask Daisuke Niwa. Daisuke has been in a long line of thieves that steal artwork. The reason they steal artwork is to stop it from harming others. Sounds strange right? Well things get weirder. Each boy in the Niwa family is to transform into Dark Mousey, the Legendary Phantom Thief. Its a very interesting story of love, drama, and action.






Meet Daisuke Niwa

Daisuke is a love-stricken, typical, lovable boy. Daisuke is in love with Risa and is able to change into Dark just by looking at her picture. Daisuke is a brilliant artist and is the first in his family to be one. Daisuke is friendly. He wants to give people a helping hand and has great determination. He has a pet named With who can change into Dark's wings.







Meet Risa and Riku

Risa and Riku are twins and their personalities are completely opposite. Risa is very princess like. She's deeply in love with Dark and will do anything to get his love (even if her life depended on it which it had before. No spoilers). Risa's love for Dark however, gets in the way with her life sometimes especially with Riku. Riku is more down to earth. She sees the way her sister acts towards Dark and thinks Risa is way over her head. Riku is very athletic and cares for her family and friends. She' strong and stubborn but she always looks out for her sister.




Meet Dark Mousey

How can I explain Dark. Well Dark's origin is still a mystery. All we know is that he has been around for ages in the Niwa bloodline. Dark is very romantic, sort of a womanizer and is very cocky. His nemesis is named Krad (which is Dark spelled backwards. You'll learn more about Krad and his story later in the series). He is so cute and uses With as his own personal black wings. Dark is also is like Daisuke's inner person and can talk to him. You'll also see how he can make Daisuke turn into him for a while and vice versa.



Story Line- The story line is something I love to see in a story. Mythological settings, magic, drama, and love, it's something everyone in every age would enjoy.

Animation/Graphics- The animation is awesome and I love how they used some 3D graphics to show something completely amazing in the scene. There is a setting where there is a fountain and it overlooks the ocean. It is so beautiful especially in a fav episode of mine.

Music- The music is beautiful in this show. It's very calm and tranquil. In one of my fav episode (I wish I could remember the song) fits with the emotion and sudden change in weather. Also the person who plays Daisuke in Japan sings the opening theme "True Light" and another song in the series. You should really just listen to the music. It sets such a mood.

Voice Actors- They picked awesome people to dub this show. One of my favorite voice actors of all time, Vic Mignogna, plays Dark Mousey and is awesome! I can't stress enough how talented Vic really is. All the other voice actors did an amazing job with bringing out the essences of the characters. I really enjoy it.

Overall Grade- I give this show an A. Like I said I love stories like this and I hope I can find more anime that will stand out like this one. Well until next time, Anime Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!
KAWAII!!!!!!

M.D. Geist Review

/
Justin Reviews the Anime Film M.D. Geist. Geist (the main character) is MD-02, a Most Dangerous Soldier, genetically engineered to function as a killing machine, but every one of the MDS units went homicidally insane. As a result Geist was placed in suspended animation in a stasis pod orbiting the planet Jerra until it crashed several years later, awakening him and bringing him into another war on the planet.
