Soul Eater prologue (ep1,2,3)

Haven't been very active at watching anime or taking screencaps or typing words into blogger.com lately. *Grabs myself by the collar and knocks some sense into myself* But now i shall discipling myself by blogging about this new series that i have started :D yup, as the title implies, the series that i am tackling now is

Pretty sure many people already watch soul eater, and yes yes i am a noob. whatever~ for those who didn't watch soul eater, it's a seriously fun anime to watch. though it does have some ecchi elements in it but it's mostly for comical purposes xD (new genre for mollie, and ehhem, yaoi is not ecchi D:)anyways the first 3 episodes are "prologues" that introduces you to the 3 main characters and at the same time gives a small background to the aims of the anime. these 3 episodes will definitely make you want to watch more soul eater, because it demonstrates very high comical factors, good art and nice characters :D

Some background to soul eater: it is set in a universe where there are technicians who study in the academy of shinigami weapon wielders who are trying to collect tamashi(souls) or "kishins" of different monsters and witches so that they can level up their weapon and evolve them into ultimate weapons that can be of use to the head of the academy, mr shinigami.

Mr Shinigami xD

the weapons can take a human form and they have their partner technicians respectively. anyways, the 3 pairs are :

from episode 1: Maka and Soul Eater
episode 1 introduces Maka and her partner Soul Eater. Maka is trying to become a good weapon technician as her mother was and she and SE has already collected 99 souls of kishins and only need another 1 soul of a witch in order to level up SE to become a death scythe. SE can transform into a scythe, which is really cool xD
Photobucket Photobucket
Ahhh i can't get enough of Maka's scythe :D

they try to find a witch and when they find one they get into battle with her. things happen (haha) and in the end, it turns out that the witch was just a cat in disguise and they will be stripped of the 99 souls they have collected as "punishment" and have to restart xD
Photobucket
That's Soul and Maka :D

ep 2 is about black star and tsubaki while ep 3 is about death the kid and his twin thompson sisters xD
ja, im signing off

hetalia axis powers+random thoughts of mafia xD

what should blog about this time? hmm... it does seem to be getting harder and harder each time :\ maybe cos i haven't been watching anime that much at all :\ i'm reading manga now xD so much good stuff in manga don't get turned into anime at all, but viewfinder is :D hooray !

oh yeah, lemme just scorn first. it turns out that they are not airing/cancelling the air of Hetalia Axis Powers, the only anime i was going to watch this winter season T_T how could they!! ok this anime depicts different countries as anime characters, each with a different personality that signifies the country's history. Some people are claiming that it has devalued Korea so they are stopping it. nooooooooooo T_T i want to watch HAP so much. it's so much better than all the new shoujo animes to come this winter season TTT___TTT
Hetalia Axis Powers Pictures, Images and Photos italy looks so cut(waving) :D
just a few more days to go and it gets cancelled T_T *curses and swears*
i want to see Japan being depicted as an anime otaku boy :(!!!
okay don't be dejected. there's still a chance it will appear on the internet, cos i heard that i might still be broadcasted on handphone 3Gs and stuff. *prays*

on to my next revelation. I WANT TO BE A MAFIA BOSS :D okay this is all due to KHR, totally captivated and viewfinder influence ;D come on, wouldn't it be cool? haha, especially when you have this lackey that follows you and does all your bidding and eventually falls in love with you xD i want my own takaba or gokudera :D

Photobucket
okay i can finally RIP looking at this picture T_T it's so touching. okay maybe it's because i'm listening to the orchestral version of to zanarkand and Final Fantasy XI CoP Ending song(distant worlds) and the sound plus the sunset is making me so emotion T_T i want to cry T^T
hmm... now that i think of it, i don't think it's Asami and Takaba in the pic... o.o look's like it's mollie-san's job to dig up the history of this pic xD should be easy for a mafia-tobe like me hahahahahaha. (pictures came from Artbook Aya which can be found on mangatraders.com (wonderful site :D))

ok you must go listen to the Final Fantasy XI CoP Ending song@ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKk-N60EjyM&NR=1
it's making me cry T_T

totally captivated manhwa

phew. mollie-san is finally back after one week of struggling with studies :D now to blog about the beautiful manga, no wait, should i say manhwa that she has just read! its: Totally Captivated. I'm totally captivated by Totally Captivated !!! xD okay, im not joking, i really love the series (love on first sight) and i went on a 6 vol straight reading :D it's by a korean mangaka, but i must say the manga quality is top-notch and it has a style similar to the japanese ones! maybe i should read more manhwa now :D

anyways, Totally Captivated is really really nice, and has a plotline background similar to that of viewfinders, though the profanity is stronger, but there is almost no explictness as compared to viewfinders. haha. it's also to deal with underground mafia business, and it's very complex as the series progress. Generally, the main male lead Ewon is "enslaved" to this debt company whose boss is Mookyul, because his ex-boyfriend wanted to have revenge on him. (ok, his ex-boyfriend's current bf is Mookyul, who is very powerful and can use his powers to take revenge on Ewon.) as the series progress, Mookyul is revealed to be related to Ewon in the past and likes Ewon. (like may be too mild?) anyways, the feeling is mutual and the series becomes rather emotional in the later volumes! it's so awesome :D i love it so much and i'm still in the midst of reading it and waiting for new chapters to be released! :D come follow with me!!!

and yes, notes to self, there are many websites of scantalator groups and hosting webs that i have to follow up on :D they are awesome and i love them so much. i promise once i acquire the skills i will join you fellow comrades!!! and i will go to kino to stock up on manga :D

http://yaoifreaks.wordpress.com/ & http://yaoibl.blogspot.com/2008/08/totally-captivated-by-yoo-ha-jin.html , and not forgetting darling dangerous pleasure and biblo erios scantalating group :D junjou.org as well!

oh yeah, we can follow up on the release dates from this web: http://www.netcomics.com/news/update_txt.htm

Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn ep 15

Hmm...first day of school. Makes me miss the good old days of watching anime. *sniffs* anyways as i have loads of kateikyoushi hitman reborn! ep 15 screencaps(mostly fanpics of Dino) stashed up in my laptop i shall do a summary abt it =P as i have said, the first 20 episodes or so of KHR is mainly comic action and ep 15 is one of the funnier episodes that have Dino inside so of course i readied my print screen button and started snapping :D

ep 15 is a sidestory that actually starts off with Tsuna having to babysit I-pin and Lambo, but suddenly one by one his friends show up(which involves lots of Gokudera getting pissed at Yamamoto cos he wants Tsuna allll to himself *sweet*) and then reborn splits the group into two groups and decides to have a match where each group have to try to capture Leon while fending off each other's advances with snowballs. Tsuna is grouped with Yamamoto and Kyoko while Dino is grouped with Kyoko's brother, Gokudera and Haru, much to the latter two's displeasure :D Of course, as the game progresses and neither side is winning. FUNNY THINGS ENSUE.

1.Because Dino's subordinates are not around, he becomes very clumsy. He tries to throw a snowball at Tsuna but it lands on Gokudera instead :D

Photobucket Photobucket
omgw, look at his cute face xD!!! "rawrrr... here... i... go...!!!"
Photobucket Photobucket
the unsuspecting Gokudera, is ignorance bliss? apparently not xD

2.Gokudera suddenly announces that he was spying for Tsuna and reveals many dynamites and throws them all up into the sky above his own fort, while exclaiming happily that he is going to return to Tsuna's side.
3.This causes an explosion which stops Haru's futile attempt to defect to Tsuna's side xD

Anyways, things progress, and Bianchi, I-pin and Lambo join the game as a third party...They chase Leon around and one by one they all go down and gets kicked out of the game xD
Photobucket Photobucket
Stuff happens and Yamamoto and Dino are out :D *still gaps at Dino-san's cuteness*

until only Tsuna is left. Reborn hits Tsuna with the dying will flame and Tsuna starts chasing Leon ferociously until... ... ... HIBARI APPEARS! (and declares that he wants to join the game xD).
Photobucket Photobucket
then he says that he cant because of stuff with namimori o.o of course, this then leaves leon with tsuna...and stuff. Then I-pin suddenly catches sight of Hibari and starts counting down because she becomes shy after falling in love with him xD so random. BOOM.. and HAPPY ENDING :D!

Much agreed, I do find Dino-san veryveryvery cute!!! :D What a crazy fangirl i am. This is a demonstration of how fun Kateikyoushi can be at the same time as having action-packed episodes like ep 86 that i introduced earlier :D Still, i'm sticking with high recommendations for this anime so do watch it when you are free :D Have fun, meanwhile, mollie-san needs to return to her studies xD. no more entries for the next few days. haha XD

new year+viewfinder manga+KHR manga ch224

HAPPY NEW YEAR! yay:D it's finally 2009 and i was hoping to move on a bit with my life. but then again, this signifies the end of my holidays and my wonderful days of slacking and non-stop anime action. Looking back at this holiday, i realised i have totally dedicated it anime, not saying it's a good thing, but wow. I finished/watched like 20 animes series+OVAs...best of which includes junjou romantica, kuroshitsuji, kateikyoushi hitman reborn! (yep, around 70+eps!) and kyou kara maou :D of course, when the holidays ends, i have to revert back to seriously studying cos i must not let that elusive 4.7 slip out of my reach! anyways, this means i'm gonna cut back on blogging abt anime and also watching them, but i suppose using the com on saturdays should be okay!

To mark the end of 2008 and of course to keep me company while both my parents are holidaying away in battam, i started and finished the viewfinder naked truth arc! yes, its a yaoi series...but since i am a dedicated fujyoushi and shonen-ai fan, beware of some of the lovely shonen-ai entries that i will post on this blog. Ppl who can't take such stuff should skip such entries haha. anyways, back to viewfinder. IT IS AWESOME :D the art is awesome and so is the storyline. It's about a freelancer photographer Akihito Takaba who was caught photographing the "mafia" head Asami and as a punishment, Asami did you-know-what to him and of course this caused feelings to start developping between the two. There is a lot of explictness in this manga, which i skipped most of cause i really couldnt take it, so beware! (skip 3-4 pages if need be!) In the Naked Truth Arc, Akihito is captured by Feilong(Someone who holds a grudge against Asami) and Asami sets out to save Akihito from the Chinese mafiaso. This arc is very emotional and readers get to see a new side of Feilong, which is very cuteeee :D Hint Hint:

Photobucket Woots for Feilong, im starting to like him more and more:D

Though the ending was shorter than i thought, it was still a good read! This marks the tempory end of the viewfinder series and it is said that another chapter will be released in 2 months or so. this viewfinder series might even be serialized into an anime. WOOHOO! *keeping my fingers crossed*

As for the Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn! manga, I am very very happy to say that VARIA HAS RETURNED!!! Ever since the ring conflict arc i have been waiting for varia to make a comeback cos they were such an awesome group, especially Bel, Squalo and Xanxus :D I got a horrible idea that Xanxus died when i watched the anime and i was in terrible shock, as Xanxus was soooo awesome and i didn't want him to die at all:( Thankfully, he didn't!!! He appears yet again in chapter 224, better, cooler and stronger! *Fangirl Squeal!* MUHAHAHAHAHA, okay that was more like evil fangirl smirk. Varia arrives back at around chapter 220 so watch out for them! i've read it on mangafox.com, but i'm still going to buy it once it gets released into the tankobon! I've already bought 3 volumes, and since it's such a classic i'm so going to get the whole set :DD Go read, it's totally worth it!

New year resolution would mostly be on studying, and hopefully better my violin and piano skills :D everyone have a good new year! Hope that i can concentrate more on my studying and not get distracted too easily! Shall hope to keep this anime otaku blog running too! meanwhiles, no more anime for me, but past reviews shall be added! Keep reading :D
