There is a lot of good anime out there, plus I’m trying to watch some other anime’s as well. Finished a few good ones as well and I’m trying to keep up with the other good ones. Its annoying going episode to episode on certain animes like Bleach, Naruto, Soul Eater, and a few others but with so many good ones to watch its hard just to stick to one.
- Berserk
- Bleach (Action Picking Up)
- D-Grayman (Action packed anime, a lot of episodes some fillers but good)
- Eyeshield 21 (Almost towards the end of the series, I love American Football)
- GaoGaiGar (Old School, but fun)
- Hellsing Ultimate
- Heroic Age
- Initial D Second Stage (Damn Good Anime)
- Kekkaishi (Entertaining)
- Kyou Kara Maou (Entertaining)
- Naruto: Shippuuden (Fun As Usual)
- Planets (On The Back Burner)
- School Rumble Ni Gakki (2nd Season, Hilarious)
- Solty Rei (Interesting)
- Souten no Ken (Episodes Coming Out Too Slow, Damn Good Martial Arts Anime)
Plot Summary:Â A valuable artifact known as “King’s Seal” is stolen by a mysterious group of people during transport in Soul Society. Hitsugaya Toushiro, the 10th division captain of Gotei 13, who is assigned to transport the seal fights the leader of the group and shortly after goes missing. After the incident, Seireitei declares Hitsugaya a traitor and orders the capture and execution of Hitsugaya. Kurosaki Ichigo refuses to believe this, and along with Matsumoto Rangiku, Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai Renji swear to uncover the real mastermind of the stolen seal, find Hitsugaya and clear his name. Meanwhile, a rogue Hitsugaya searches for the perpetrators and uncovers a dark secret regarding a long dead shinigami.
I have this appreciation for Bleach and tend to like Ichigo a lot, I was a bit disappointed in the first movie but this time around they did a great job. Going into the story its as if you have been watching the anime the whole time, it wasn’t a rewind, they all have the powers that they have developed and their relationships. You jump right into the meat of the story trying to figure out whats going on and it just keeps getting better and better. The best part is the full participation of a lot of characters, just seeing use their power in that way is great.Â

Plot Summary:Â Set in an alternate history of Japan, freelance photographer Minagami Hayato returns to his hometown of Ootomo to investigate rumors of a man wearing a skull mask committing murders there. Once in the city, he discovers connections between the victims and a local pharmaceutical company, a new religious sect, and strange half human, half animal creatures. Along with a young photographer, he decides to find out who the Skull Man really is.Â

This anime revolves around a lot of complex thoughts and ideas, a lot of Japanese animation revolves around what has happened in their history and ties into their idea of WWI/WWII. Also what happens to towns after these devastating wars, and the same has happened in this case. Skullman is not a superhero but a dark hero born out the South East Asians Wars have taken place and the creation of Ootoma City. Whats a bit difficult is that you pick up multiple plots from the beginning of the anime and trying to figure out the connecting parts. Its a dark anime which I didn’t know from the start and things start falling into place and turns into something unexpected. Its a different anime and worth a watch you really get pulled into it. A lot of people are getting into Darker into Black and I’m looking forward to that as well.

I saw that my model package from Ebay arrived in Kuwait so I went to Aramex right away to pick it up. It was a big but light box, only weighing about 10lbs. I bid on two excellent anime models about three weeks back and it was worth the bid. The funny part is the package said it was a toy and the box had toy written on it, and I took a slight insult to that thinking that these are model kits, but who are they to know.
The packaging was great so the items were kept in perfect condition. I saw the two boxes and opened Gurren Lagann from the look on the cover of the box, I felt like a 10 year old since it was one of the coolest models I have ever seen. I started just putting things together and it came out to be an excellent model, and most of it is made out of metal and its great. That took me about 20 minutes since I was trying the different configurations. Then I unboxed the Mazinger Z and it only had a few items so I put it together quickly and it was 100% metal model.
I was very happy with both and I think I have gathered a nice collection. Now the issue I have is that I don’t have an exact location to place these items, so I probably have to clean up and place these items in the right spot.
I have always enjoyed watching Bleach but it drives me made that I only have one episode to watch at a time. So for the past few months I have been watching other animes as I had more then enough to keep me occupied with. Now for the past week and a half it has been a non-stop episode after episode, basically whenever I have five minutes I would watch an episode. The best part is the story has been non-stop and very little filler, can’t get enough of it but now since I’m caught up to the last episode I’m stuck again. Just going to have to wait.
Plot Summary: Under the capital city of Tokyo, Japan, there exists a large, vast, and unknown world known as Underground. There, people known as Elemental Users exist; people who have the ability to control the elements: Fire, Water, Lightning, Magnetism, Freeze, etc. Meet Rumina Asagi and his best friend Ginnosuke Isuzu, two average high school freshmen who reside in Tokyo. When they meets Gravity User, Chelsea Rorec, and the Miko of Life, Ruri Sarasa, their whole life changes into one big adventure.
I tend to like action packed martial arts anime, Tokyo Underground has that and alittle bit more. The anime picks up very quickly from the start, Asagi doesn’t know where they come from but he likes Ruri who is the Maiden of Life. Chelsea Rorec is the bodyguard of Ruri, and they just escaped from The Company. Due to his actions he has gained the power of wind and vowed to save Ruri from the company which is not an easy task. The anime is off to a good start, and the story develops from there. Towards the end it looks like its going to be interesting but I think they didn’t take it to the peak of an ending that it should have had. Overall the anime quality is great, and storyline is entertaining.

I have been a fan of Gurren-Lagann since I finished the anime. It was amazing and I don’t mind watching it again since it gets my blood pumping. I’m always on the lookout for these high quality diecast models and I couldn’t believe when I cound it on Ebay so I bid for it right away. I’m crossing my fingers over the next couple of days, hopefully I will be getting it but its shipping from Hong Kong which might take 2 – 3 weeks.

I am no longer counting the number of anime I have in stock, it has reached an amount I can’t even comprehend. I have been downloading at a ridiculous rate I keep having to move stuff over between machines and dumping it all onto the server. Animes from the 80s all the way to the new ones, and some I don’t even know. I will find the time to watch it all though.
After a long and crappy day at work you sometimes just want to unwind and use as little brain power as possible. Left work around 5:30pm, and as soon as I got home I had some Toot and anime. Enjoying the simple day after work, I think there are some plans to do something later but for I’m just going to sit and not use my brain.
Every once in awhile I go through a huge downloading phase and I am at one of them. Most of these files range from 4 GB to 8 BG, and some a little more. I like having all the movies I do enjoy in 1080p, they are very clear and crisp, there just isn’t anything to substitute high quality movies. Now there is the issue of bandwidth and having enough to get all the material you want at one go.
