Today's Moment of the Day - Krillin; Stop Breaking Kami House!


Also:

Darker Than Black - Final Thoughts

So I Finally Finished the series Darker Than Black (Okay Not Quite, I Still Haven't Watched the OVA but it has no bearing on the series finale). For those of you who don't know, Darker Than Black is a series that sees Hei, the main character, work his way through several problems relating to Contractors (Who Are Humans Who Essentially Use Logic & reason Above All Else...Oh and They Have a Special Power Which They Have to Pay a 'Contract' For).

Anyway, the first part of the series, has various two part arcs which see rather minor characters as the focus, whilst we learn more about Hei & the other lead characters. That is until Amber enters the picture. Amber is the main villain (Well Sort Of) of the series and she and Hei have a past together that's rather touchy to say the least. Amber is a really interesting character, especially after her motives are revealed at the end of the series. Her Power & Contract are also very intriguing.

As We Gear Up for the final clash, the series ends it's old format of two parters and goes all out for a three part finale that shows the final conflict between Hei & Amber as well as the Syndicate & Contractors on a Whole. The revelations in this finale are rather heart-wrenching at points and it's a nice conclusion to the series.

The voice acting is top notch in this series, and FUNimation do a really good job, especially in letting lesser known actors take the lead roles, whilst the big guns (Sabat etc...) play supporting roles here. The animation is perhaps the series' biggest plus though. It's truly a flawless looking anime and really is beautifully done. Darker Than Black was a very enjoyable series that had a very good storyline, a compelling idea and recognisable characters.

9/10

Recently a lot of people I know say that BLEACH is a rip-off of yu-yu-hakasho. The comments I can remember off hand is, "Bleach is basically yu-yu-hakasho with swords" and "Ichigo is really just Yusake with yellow hair". :?
I agree that their similair but disagree that it's a rip-off. Your thoughts???

It's a rip off.
Although to be fair it DOES deviate enough to be interesting in it's own right.

Yusuke and Ichigo are cut from nearly the same cloth. While Ichigo's reputation isn't quite as threatening to his classmates...
They both have the same attitude towards life. "Even though I'm an angry bad ass I like helping others because I'm not half as mean as I appear".

However in my opinion (so far) Yusuke has a bit more character development throughout the series.

Also suddenly all of the supporting cast members start gaining the ability to see ghosts and powers of their own.



The thing I appreciate about Bleach SO far is the use of Soul Society. Ichigo has lost his mind going where he's not nearly experianced enough to survive.
I don't think I've ever watched that kind of situation in any kind of Anime.

I have found a new love.

Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X.



Berserk is a decent Anime but I think a few things hold it back.
I feel like it's so over the top that when something happens to characters that you should care about,
Your so used to it by than that it doesn't really affect you as much as it should. I'm at Volume 18 now.
I'm still reading because the story hasn't gone south. It's pretty interesting and I feel pretty invested at this point.

I swear the guy that writes this comic has some inner demons he struggles with. There is rape in every volume.



However I prefer someone like Kenshin as a protagonist.

But unlike Naruto, One Peice and Detective Conan, Bleach is actually going to end.

Actualy apart from Connan they will all end. Naruto is getting their maybe 3 years at most, OP is at the halfway stage now that the crew has been reunited and are about to leave Sabadony now. Bleach maybe not, yes Ichigo has lost his powers now, but he will more than likely find a way to get them back with Isshin helping him. Then there is the whole SK thing since i still beleive the Hongokoyu to be a fragment of the Soul King and just trying to reunite with him since the Soul King is trapped and wants out. Hence the Hongokoyu was manipulating Aizen. Hence why he wasnt killed at the end only sealed since there will come a time when SS will need Aizens help.

So the 3 will end, OP going for the longest, but Naruto is getting close now, especaily since Naruto has got Minatos powers and to some extent can control the 9 tails. Plus as far as strong evil ninja go now. since Kisame has died that just leaves Madara, Sasuke and Kabutomaru. Kabuto will die, Sasuke will do a Vegeta to help Naruto defeat Pein. Just a matter of time.

Of course the series will come to an end. When someone dies in the Shippuden they stay freaking dead.
They will definitely whore out this series but I'm sure we'll get a resolution sooner or later other wise Naruto would still be a weak little kid instead of a teenager who has mastered skills. Even if they decide to tell more "Dragon Ball GT-like" stories...

Also they killed off his teacher. I highly doubt the writer would have done that if he wanted to stay still and rely on the same old plots with the same old Naruto


Anyways, I just bought Naruto Ultimate ninja storm 2 for the PS3.

And as I played the boss fights I thought to myself...damn the fight scenes suck.
I've never seen a game surpass the actual material in choreography.

No they dont erm lets see, i know ill Nuke Konoha to kingdom come, then after a SPEECH with the enemy, ill revive everyone. That aint staying dead to me. :P Kabuto hasnt allowed Itachi, Deidara, Nagato, Sasori and (the one with the numerous hearts or what ever) to stay dead either in that regard. :P

I played the game and completed it in a day (extra characters and all), the boss battles are definalty better than the 1st game, but i thought the story mode was absolutly dire.

No way can Bleach end, its been going on for too long. But I concur, Detective Conan will never end.

So then Bleach, Naruto, One piece. What takes your fancy :D
If I had a signature it would probably been bad. But I've been trying to make one. So thenI want mail Order Comics for the English people :/ (NOT BRITISH) Oh well.... Spidey vs Green lantern Couldn't see it! Geoff Johns write it dammit, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Berserk. :P

No seriously, Berserk. I don't care for any of the previous 3 choices. Especially Naruto.

None of the above.

Naruto is hideous, terrible and god aweful. I mean what type of manga that is any form of decent, has a main villain and the hero, talk it out not fight they talk with the villain then sacrificing himself to bring back from the dead all the people he killed!? That is terrible right there. His brother is a way better Mangaka

I enjoy Bleach but the pacing is terrible, although out of the 3 Bleach had the best chapter after each time skip, Narutos was crap, OP only was 'OMG THE CREW IS TOGETHER' yet there was more to Bleach's.

OP is good, but highly overated.

Shounen manga is okay, but Seinien will alway wipe the floor with it. Same with Romance and what not Josei Romance will just crush it :D

I'm a fan of all of them. If I had to put them in order bleach and one piece would be tied but Naruto would come below them. The Manga of naruto is a lot better than the anime. The anime in both Naruto and Naruto shippuden have way too many fillers. Yes I know bleach had a large filler period but those fillers were far more barable than Naruto's. Naruto's fillers were mainly out of contineuty stories or tales from the past. Like Untold tales of spider-man, just one major differences, untold tales of spider-Man was decent. One Piece, kicks ass. -Nuff Said-. 8)
