Wanting to avoid studying for my finals as long as possible, I decided to go watch "Iron Man". And after watching the first 20 minutes, I have to say: THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE!!!! I was never a big Marvel Comics fan, but after seeing these movies of Marvel Comics, I'm getting more and more intrigued by their story plots. Although it has not gone to the point where I would go and read all of Marvel comics, I have to say that I'm getting pretty close. I get really intrigued by movies that involve technology and violence. So this movie totally suited my taste. I was really amazed by the concept of a suit of iron that is small and compact but still able to withstand such impact and consist of so many weapons and even to FLY!!!! This is totally a movie that I would reccommand to everyone old or young, big or small! GO SEE IT NOW!!!

Iron Man
Wanting to avoid studying for my finals as long as possible, I decided to go watch "Iron Man". And after watching the first 20 minutes, I have to say: THIS IS AN AWESOME MOVIE!!!!

Switch
I've never hear of the mangaka group Naked Ape before but I have to admit, they have really great story plot. While their art may not be as appealing as Clamp, their story plot and humor level is definitely comparable. Switch is a story about a group of investigators, independent from the city police, arresting and investigating illegal drug activity. Their circle does not only include Japan drug activity, but all over the world as well. As our main newcomer investigators, Hal and Kai, gets closer to capturing the leader and discovering the dangerous secret behind "Switch", they discover more and more of their own forgotten past and realize that they might be more involved in the conspiracy than they have previously thought. The plot is full of suspense and surprises. Of course, you can't compare it to the suspense of Death Note. But while we are waiting for another Death Note like manga, why not check this out for the time being.So far, there are 11 volumes of this manga published. I, being able to read many languages, was able to read up to the latest volume through sites from other countries. In the few volumes that I read last night, there was a scene where Kai what totally freaked out cause he got caught between a gun fight because he was investigating a case undercover as a waiter. The deal between the two parties he was serving went sour and everyone pulled out guns. However, it turned out that the two people who initiated the gun fight were also undercover agents like him. In the end, all the bad guys got caught and the case ended. This scene left a great impact on me because last night I dreamt that I was a new agent and they sent me undercover as the boss of a newly formed but powerful gang. In order to be convincing, I had to beat up people and be ruthless. However, before I got to the dealings of the drugs, I was awaken by a call from my friend. Lol. I totally thought that I was still dreaming and that I was in fact sent by the drug investigators to be an undercover dealer and the actual drug dealers also gave me an alias as a college student. LOL. I was so confused that it took me 5 minutes before I realized that I just woke up from a dream and I finally worked out what my real identity is. Told you I get obsessed with stuff. :P

Air Gear 204 & 205
I checked today and found out that two more chapters of Air Gear had been released this week: 204 and 205. The previous chapters had been about Ikki and Kaze fighting with their ATs. While fighting Ikki, Kaze finally snapped out of his self-blaming for losing Spitfire's regalia and began to fight Ikki without fear.
In chapter 204, the guys who owned the weird cult place decided to just let go of the fact that Ikki and Kaze's battle totally wrecked their place and business. With that, Ikki and Kaze went out to camp to have some male bonding time. >:D

Chapter 205 focuses more on what the enemies have been up to. This chapter confused me so much cause it kept switching back and forth from Sora and Nike Takeuchi. So I wasn't sure who they were talking about half the time. I guess the one in the beginnig is Sora since his legs are gone. Another thing I don't understand is why Sano is on the enemy side now... Wasn't he like obsess with Ikki to the point that he wanted to rape him when Ikki stayed at his house?
Anyways... yea... He's a weirdo anyways. Since he escaped alive, this makes me wonder if Spitfire really died? Nevertheless, Kaze now knows both Sano and Spitfires techniques. I just hope to see more battles soon.
Manga: Nabari no Ou
If you are waiting for another manga or anime episode to come out and have nothing else to entertain you right now, then check out Nabari no Ou at onemanga.com. However, if you already have too many other things to occupy you, then don't start on this manga. Because once you start reading it, you will not be able to stop. Nabari no Ou is another manga about ninjas. However, unlike Naruto, this manga focuses more on plot and characterization instead of actual ninjutsu. The main character Rokujou Miharu is a 14 year old boy who looks cute and exceptionally small for his age as if he is a elementary school kid. But don't let his innocent and indifferent look fool you, he is actually quite the little devil inside.
Although he looks weak and kiddish, don't underestimate him. Miharu is actually the owner of this "wisdom" that every ninja clan is after. The wisdom is infused into his cells and only he can use it!
Look interesting? Go check it out at http://www.onemanga.com/

Recent Manga Favorites
As some of you may know, watching Code Geass is one of my weekly pleasures. But what do I do when I'm waiting for the new episode to come out? I catch-up on my manga reading of course! I read all kinds of manga: shounen, shoujo, fantasy, horror, and (very rarely) shounene-ai. So here are my recent manga picks!
Air Gear
Air Gear
The first time I read this manga I thought it was really weird. I mean, the manga was about teenagers racing on these highly powered roller blades called ATs or Air Treks. I looked up this manga because it was by Oh! Great who also did Tenjou Tenge. So knowing Tenjou Tenge, I was expecting it to contain much fighting and somewhat perverted humor. Although, it didn't live up to my expectation in the beginning, Oh! Great sensei did not disappoint me. What started out to be a story of normal teenagers rolling around on ATs, turned in to a giant gang war and conspiracy with much violence and surprises. ATs turned out to be alot more complicated and dangerous as our characters discover the unlimited possibilities of ATs. Air Gear has also been made into an anime but it ended at the end of the first arc of the story.
D. Gray-man
Why I started reading this manga I do not remember. However, I can tell you that this manga is also full of surprises and will keep you entertained at all times. The plot revolves around the fight between Exorcist and Akumas and the life of our main exorcist, Allen Walker. The exorcist work for the Black Order and tries to prevent Akumas from destroying the world. The Akumas work for the Millenium Earl, representation of the Devil, and are souls that are unable to rest in peace because they have been called back by love ones. So they come back with their souls imprisoned in the skeletons the Millenium Earl and kills they one that called them back and uses their bodies as a disguise to go kill more people. Although the beginning of the story involved saving regular citizens and finding innocences, a weapon sent by god to chosen people (exorcists), the story is now approaching climax as the akumas become more intelligent and tries to destroy the Black Order from within. I don;t think my explanation of D. Gray-man is really doing it any justice, so please look it up on wikipedia. D. Gray-man is also out on anime but I stopped watching it after they started straying from the manga.
Naruto
Do I actually have to explain Naruto? No, I don't think so.
Tenjou Tenge

Naruto

Tenjou Tenge
Like I have mentioned before, Tenjou Tenge is one of Oh! Great's work and it is full of nudity, violence, and humor. I would totally recommand this to any guy manga fans. However, I still think girls can read this and still find it interesting regardless of the nudity (I mean, we see our own bodies all the time right?). The story centers around this high school that is full of students who have interests in martial arts. I've never read Real Bout High School but I think it's probably similar. However, Oh! Great sensei throws in supernatural factors that makes the story a whole lot more than just fighting. There is love, tragedy, and comedy. Everything you need in a manga is here. This manga has been adopted into an anime series in addition to 2 OVAs.
Vampire Knight
This is one of the very few shoujo mangas that I read. Hino Matsuri sensei's art and story gets better and better. After reading Meri Puri, I decided to read this. This story is about a school which exists for the purpose of creating peace between humans and vampires (although the humans of the school has no idea that there are vampires in the school). The story becomes more complicated than just regular school life as our main character Kuroki Yuuki discovers more and more of her past. Vampire Knight has recently been adopted into anime.So yea, that's all the mangas I have been reading regularly as they update new chapters.
Froz Fruit :)
For the past few weeks, I've been obsessed about this fruit popsicle called "Froz Fruit Gourmet Frozen Fruit Bar" by Blue Bunny. Why am I so crazy about this particular popsicle? They have real chucks of fruits in there and they are totally yummy!!! Although I've only been eating the mango flavor one, I'm pretty sure the other flavors are good too. I just really like how they have frozen fruits in there and I like biting off a chuck and let the ice melt in my mouth until there is only bits of mango left....*drool* I want another one now.... How should I describe it... It's like orgasm in my mouth. LOL.
You can't see the popsicle in this picture cause I already ate it. >:D
