YGOAS Leather Pants, Leather Shoes and Yugi VS Jaden Battle

/

On the YGOAS video on the site, LittleKuribo did a parody with Yugioh and Lady GaGa called leather pants. The one thats on
the site was the incomplete version at an anime con. Even though it was incomplete, it was epic.
Its frickin awesome and makes me laugh every time. There is also a vid called Yugi VS Jaden Battle.
Yet again pure genius. LittleKuriboh if you happen to read this, you are awesome. Keep
doing what you do. Your vids can't be beat. Anyway enjoy the hilarity. Anime Rules!!!!!!!

P.S Leather Shoes goes after Leather Pants and is a tribute to LittleKuriboh. Again its Lady GaGa using the song Telephone. LMAO! It's awesome. Just listen to the lyrics.

Vampire Knight Fanfic

/

I just heard that Vampire Knight is going to be dubbed so I decided to make a fanfic of this exciting news. I love Vampire Knight and I know people out there who love this great show will be happy that it’s finally going to be dubbed. So enjoy my fanfic. This is my first one so be kind with comments. Anime Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st day at Cross Academy

Anime Angel: What a nice school. I hope this is better then my old one. Huh, what’s with that crowd over at that gate?

Yuki: Ok people it’s time to call it a day! All people from the Day Class must return to their dorms!

Anime Angel: It’s strange how they are the Day Class and their wearing black. It’s an oxymoron in itself. (Well I did read the student handbook on uniforms). Anyway I need to find someone who will help figure out what to do with myself.
Maybe I should wait until after the crowd disappears.

Yuki: Come one guys I’m not joking!

Girl Student: If I didn’t see it with my own eyes. Are you trying to keep these beautiful boys for yourself Yuki-san?!? I thought you had more self control then that.

Yuki: Wha? I’m a prefect. I protect the Night Class from danger including pushy fangirls who need a life than standing outside this gate to wait for a boy to leap into their arms!

Girl Student: What did you say?!?

Boy Student: Cat Fight!

Zero: And so it begins.

Yuki: Ah Zero you can give me a hand over here?

(The gates opened and cue *your choice of a dramatic score here. *)

Yuki: Darn it. So close.

Kaname: Hello Yuki. Do you need help?

Anime Angel: Wow. Look at those students. They’re so beautiful.

All Girl Students: KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zero: Ok you rubberneckers get back to your dorms NOW!

All Girl Students: Fine!

Kaname: Yuki will you be ok?

Yuki: Kaname-senpai…I’ll be ok. Nothing too serious. Thanks for your consideration.

Kaname: Hmm. You know you don’t have to be so formal with me.

*Cuts in between them*

Zero: I think its time for you to head to class.

Kaname: Of course. Have a nice day, Yuki. Zero. Oh and by the way, looks like you have a guest.

Anime Angel: (I’m guessing the guest would be me).

Kaname: Hello there. My name is Kaname. I’m head of the Night Class.

Anime Angel: It’s nice to meet you. My name is Angel. I just transferred here from my old school. It’s very nice to meet you.

Kaname: I hope you feel right at home here. Excuse me.

Anime Angel: Thank you and have a good night.

Yuki: Oh so you must be the new student. Please come with me so you can meet the chairman.

Anime Angel: Thank you.

Later that night…

Chairman Cross: Oh! Welcome Angel-kun. I see you met the Night class.

Anime Angel: Yes. Surprisingly they are very well mannered.

Yuki: Well you don’t have to worry about this school. Trust me we don’t bite.

Zero: Except for the Night Class….

*Yuki elbows into Zero stomach*

Zero: Ow! What was that for?
Chairman (while Zero and Yuki are fighting in the background): So you know our dirty little secret huh?

(Yuki and Zero stops arguing and look at me).

Anime Angel: I knew who they really were when I first saw them coming out of the gate. They have a certain aura about them especially Kaname.

Chairman: So what they say about you is true. You DO have awesome abilities that a normal human doesn’t have.

Anime Angel: That’s right and I will show you my true power when the times comes. Right now I’m just a normal girl.

Chairman: Of course. Yuki, Zero please show Angel to her room.

Yuki: Yes sir.

Zero: ….

Chairman: Oh and Angel….

Anime Angel: Yes sir?

Chairman: I’m hope that you’ll get along with the Night Class and Zero. You will be a wonderful student here at the Academy. Now go and get some rest. You have a big day tomorrow.

Anime Angel: Yes sir!

(Leaves the room).

Chairman: Yes a wonderful student indeed…

To Be Continued.

Iron Man 2 Review

/
You the know the saying "A hero is only as good as his villian and obstacles." That's how I feel about Iron Man 2. Iron Man 2 was released last friday. It's the sequel to the 2008 blockbuster hit "Iron Man." Here is the cast below.

Cast
Robert Downey Jr: Tony Stark/Iron Man
Gwyneth Paltrow: Pepper Potts
Don Cheadle: James "Rhodey" Rhodes
Mickey Rourke: Ivan Vanko/Whiplash
Sam Rockwell: Justin Hammer
Samuel L. Jackson: Nick Fury
Scarlett Johansson: Natalie/Black Widow

Story - The story in Iron Man 2 is all over the place. It's like a game of 52 pick up. I'll try to make it short, simple and spoiler free. Tony Stark has brought world peace and is enjoying his new found celebrity. The government wants Stark to hand over the Iron Man suit. Tony is also slowly dying which he is trying to keep it a secret from his friends. Then for someone reason he enters a grand prix race. Why would someone with dying enter a grand prix race? Shouldn't that effect his condition in someway? Anyway enters Whiplash a Russian dude (Mickey Rourke)who wants to destroy Tony Stark for Tony's father decisions. Not to mention Stark business Rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) is after Tony's Iron Man Suit design. Wait there is more stories going on. Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) sends Black Widow (Scarlett Joahnsson lucky Ryan Reynolds) to secretly asset Tony Stark to see if his capable of joining the Avengers. Wait there is more, let's not forget about Tony best friend James Rhodes (Don Cheadle). James has darken his skin color and never explain why (joking). Well Rhodes wants the suit for the government and ends up becoming War Machine.

A lot happening in a two hour movie. The problem I have with the story is that it's not executed well. A lot of characters are not developed. Whiplash and Justin Hammer are not a real threat to Iron Man. They have a reason of why they want Tony Stark gone. However it's not really fully explored like in other movies like The Dark Knight, Spiderman 2 and even Iron Man. The villains were boring and watching Justin Hammer whine like a 16 year old girl was annoying. I felt the main focus should have been Tony's heart condition and drinking problem. They were originally going to make the movie dark, but director decided to re shoot some scenes and make it fun. I really wish they went the dark route. A major problem I had watching this was that it was an Avengers advertisement. Do NOT advertise a movie within another movie. A smart writer can set up another movie without showing off the goods. We didn't really need to see someones weapon appearing. The story suffers from too much going on at once.

Acting There is nothing wrong with the acting in this movie. RDJ is wonderful as usual. I did find Sam Rockwelll annoying, but he played it very well. Mickey Rourke was good accent wise, but he look like he was bored and the role was not challenging. It must of been the under developed script for his character. Don Cheadle as War Machine and James Rhodes, I felt he did a good job but I miss Terrance Howard, only because I hate when they change people for roles. I think Cheadle did a great job taking over the reigns. Scarlett was missing the accent. Gwen was great as usual. Sam Jackson as Nick Fury I'm still not convinced. It just seems Sam is being Sam with a patch over his eye.

Pros - Great CGI and Camera shots, Great Acting, Nice Musicial Score. First 40 min's was wonderful.

Cons - Movie drags after the first 40 mins. Tony's problems are not deeply explored. All the action scenes are in the trailer. Story is all over the place. Under developed and boring Villains. Too much advertisement for the Avengers movie. Birthday scene should have been cut.

Final Grade: C+ Average at best too me! However go see it for yourselves and tell me what you think.

Our Top 5 Favorite Star Wars Themes

/
John Williams is one of my top three composers of all time. His resume is truly amazing and unmatched. Since it is Star Wars day I thought I pick my top 5 favorite Star Wars themes. Yes this is in order.

1. Across The Stars (Love Theme) from Star Wars Episode II Attack Of The Clones


Justin - This is indeed my favorite Star Wars theme. It has such a lovely sound to it. It's really hard to capture an emotion or describe it in music. However I feel John Williams captured Anakin and Padme's love very well. A strong love, but also a sad love.

2. The Force Theme From Star Wars Episode IV


Justin - The theme of the force is a very epic theme. When I listen to it I can feel, like the force is being describe as something mystic. A power that a great people wield, but I also hear sadness in this theme.

3. Battle of the Heroes From Star Wars Episode III Revenge Of The Sith


Justin - This theme is pack with so much emotion and sadness. It's not just a fight theme, but a theme that represents the end of a friendship. I like this theme better than Duel Of Fates which is a wonderful theme.

4. Anakin's Betrayal From Star Wars Episode III Revenge Of The Sith


Justin - If you can't tell by now. My favorite themes are the ones that depict emotions. This is the saddest Star Wars theme to me. Anakin's fall into the darkside was the best scene to me in Episode III.

5. Final Duel From Star Wars Episode VI Return Of The Jedi


Justin - The real theme kicks in at 1:13 and it's very haunting and dark, but I love the foreshadowing of the Force Theme creeping in there.

Darth Bane

/
Unless you are true Star Wars geek and read the novels you never heard of Darth Bane. Darth Bane was the Dark Lord Of Sith responsible for Rule Two. Rule Two states that there would be only two Sith at one time, a Master and an Apprentice, guaranteeing that when the Apprentice became capable of usurping the Master, they would be worthy of the title. The former would take the latter's life and role, and begin the cycle anew. Both Master and Apprentice were considered to be Sith Lords. Here is a little history taken from Wookieepedia.

History - Darth Bane, born under the name of Dessel, was the Sith'ari and the Dark Lord of the Sith responsible for creating the Rule of Two. Born in 1,026 BBY, he was raised as a poor miner on the Outer Rim planet Apatros. After killing a Galactic Republic ensign in a fight in 1,003 BBY, he was in danger of being arrested by the Republic. With the help of his friend Groshik, Dessel escaped off-world to join the Sith Brotherhood of Darkness. Initially serving as a foot soldier in the Gloom Walkers, he was recognized as a Force-sensitive, and taken to the Sith Academy on Korriban.

He studied there for a time, quickly becoming one of the best students before he lost his faith in the dark side of the Force. After a short time, Bane, as he was now known, was able to regain his faith and determination to become the best. However, he would soon lose confidence in the Brotherhood of Darkness, believing its leader, Kaan, to be a coward and a fool. Deserting the order, he studied the holocron of Darth Revan, and, armed with new knowledge, helped destroy the Brotherhood, allowing him to create his own Sith Order. Bane then instituted a Rule of Two, which stated that there could be only two Sith to avoid the infighting that had plagued the Sith for millennia. He styled himself as Darth Bane, and took as his apprentice a Human female, whom he christened Darth Zannah.

In 990 BBY, he sought to learn how to create a holocron, through which he would pass down his knowledge to future Sith Lords. The Sith journeyed to the Deep Core world of Tython to locate the Sith holocron of the ancient Dark Lord Belia Darzu. However, while Bane was on Tython, the Jedi learned of his existence, and sent a group of Jedi to kill him and his apprentice, who had recently arrived to tell him that they were being hunted. Once the Jedi arrived, they confronted the two Sith in Darzu's fortress. Though outnumbered, the Sith were able to defeat the Jedi; however, Bane was grievously injured. Zannah took him to Ambria, where she convinced the healer Caleb to help them. Caleb notified the Jedi Council, only to have Zannah use her powers to drive Caleb's assistant Darovit insane. He then killed Caleb, and was killed by a group of Jedi when they arrived, as they believed him to be the Sith Lord. Thus, Bane's order was kept safe from the Jedi.

A decade later, Bane began to worry that his apprentice was too weak to overthrow him and assume the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, as was necessary under the Rule of Two. He began to research the secrets to prolonging his life by transferring his essence to another body, and traveled to Prakith, where he claimed the holocron of Darth Andeddu. However, while Zannah was returning from a mission on Doan, Bane was ambushed by a team hired by Caleb's daughter, Serra, and, grossly outnumbered, he was defeated and captured. Taken to Doan, Bane was imprisoned and interrogated, only to covertly gain his freedom a short time after. Bane was then attacked by Zannah, who sought to become the new Dark Lord, but he escaped and tracked Serra to Ambria with Darth Cognus, an Iktotchi assassin skilled in use of the dark side who Bane planned to take as his apprentice if Zannah proved herself weak and unworthy. After Cognus killed Serra, Bane, determined to test his apprentice for the last time, sent Zannah a message to meet him on Ambria. Following a heated duel, Bane attempted to transfer his essence into Zannah's body. However, her will proved to be too strong and Zannah defeated him, ending the life of the Sith'ari, yet also validating herself as his successor. Nearly a millennium later, Bane's Sith Order would defeat the Jedi and overthrow the Republic.
