I accidentally discover NANA when I was searching for a opening song for other anime somehow I landed on NANA opening theme and I really love it. So I started to watch the series and after 47 episodes later I suppose all in all it was an entertaining series, full with good slow rock, a bit of heavy metal and kinda touch of punk music. It was fun nevertheless. The storyline is ok and anybody can easily hook up with it, as if you are watching a drama tv series instead of an anime.
The Tower of Druaga Aegis of Uruk is new anime brought to you by Gonzo. It is an anime based on a best selling Arcade RPG game that was a hit world wide. Eventhough the first episode is kind of weird that suggested that all of this is just a dream, the rest of the episode is staging a storyline that would be one of the best anime this summer. It is basically a quest to reach the top of the tower, defeat the Evil Druaga, acquire all the hidden treasures and finally grab the all powerful Blue Crystal Rod.
New Bleach episodes 166 and 167 are a fighting episode between Itchigo and Grimmjow, and somehow or rather the prize is the princess itself is Orihime. When you were to see these kind of fights you wouldn't help to wonder where does the energy to continue fighting, a non stop and intense comes from but heck it just a typical anime that power would derive from passion, love and the value of "Nakama" which I suppose would means friendship or the state of being friends in the true sense of the meaning, really.. really good friends that would do everything for each other.
The new Naruto Shippuuden Episode 55 is a very interesting episode. Naruto start to train again with Kakashi to acquire new type of ninjutsu that is unique to him only. Thoush this episode is a talking episode, I suppose about 99% of it, it is enjoyable to watch especially if you have read the Manga before, even if you don't the episode do make you understand what is going on thoroughly that even Naruto could understand.
From here on. if the anime were to follow closely to the Manga then the coming episodes would definitely be a very intense with fight and akatsuki members flexing their muscle to acquire bijou and leaf ninjas are force to track them and eliminate them as many as possible. Even Naruto after successfully created a new jutsu would be able to defeat one by himself, but then would be another story.
The world of anime is so vast, that if I were to put the word anime into a google search it google search would say "Results 1 - 10 of about 233,000,000 for anime" so there are 233 Million words indexed by Google database and Yahoo! search would turn out more for the same word, "1 - 10 of about 414,000,000 for anime" about 100 Millions more that Google. Though some may be repetitive of from just one site it still represent a big world.
I just have a fun of putting animemagnet instead and what I got is a surprise, there are 2810 links from Yahoo! and 2030 from Google, not bad huh. Currently I have about 70 video links from all ober the place at animemagnet and I am aiming to index about 1000 video links here in 6 months time. I wonder what will be animemagnet search counts in 6 months time.
Ok let's see, as of 15th of April 2008 :

I suppose it should be enough with these few of my favorite anime. I suppose I would be updating these more to get a better statistics. Just looking at these few samples one could clearly see that Yahoo! indexed more that Google for the same keyword. wonder why yaa... and whether it represent anything significant.
Watching anime series is a never ending cycle, week in and week out it would be the agony of waiting then searching for episode then when it is done watching you would have to wait for the next one. But well I suppose any series is almost alike for that matters not only for anime but all good tv series, it would stick you like a glue and attract you like magnet. This week I suppose on cable tv there are few good series going to be on.. after that famous strike I guess everything is going to be back on track.. I miss my Heroes...
I suppose CSI Las Vegas is back and I hope the new season would be a blast, the series is going for so long that I think it started to loose its glitter. And all the other CSI didn't quite match the original one. Emm well do enjoy the new Naruto Shippuuden episode 53 and 54. And the new anime The Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk. Have fun, enjoy.
This weekend I am going to feel really bored since the Gundam 00 episode is no more, have to wait for I suppose october or something that the new season would begin, then Naruto Shippuuden and Bleach also is not airing in Japan so there are nothing to look into this weekend. I am too keen to look into any other anime, the process is too tiring. But looking at other anime network I think I have seen a promo of one or two new episodes that is might be an interesting series to look at.
I think I'll drop by animenetwork website to find new love while waiting for the existing love to be back on th air. What it's going to be I have yet to find out, Do you have any suggestion?
This post is in regards with my previous post titled Just another day in paradise", you can find the lyric for the song in that post, somehow the tune still ringing in my head so I decided to search for the music video in youtube to satisfy or rather cure my emotion. That song was a hit during my wandering years.. and it still soothes my soul... even today I still somehow feel attached to the song..
So do enjoy the song with the cover slide for Phil Collins music album put up by somebody in youtube..
The avatar the Last Airbender is one of my favourite cartoon on Nick, though I think it is not an anime since it was not originated from Japan, I suppose in a since the creator follow closely the way anime was made with a US style of conversation and humor. It is a good storyline nevertheless and I really love the series. I'll try to get them the best one that that I could find since the quality that been put up mostly is not really good. Head on to the anime list to watch the series, I'll slowly build it up.
Ahaa.. I guess I speak too soon, just yesterday I said that anybody who wanted to watch the Gundam 00 episode need to do it know before it would be taken out should watch them now. Well, I guess somebody must be reading my posts. A friend tell me today that almost all the earlier link to Gundam 00 episode at my site are dead. So it has been a heck of time to find them back one by one, from one site to the other, googling and yahoo! ing all over. Finally I get back all the links to be working again.
On Joomla! note, I suppose summer is around the corner since the annual Google Summer of Code (SOC) is back and I suppose many candidate was chosen to do Joomla! coding stuffs, I wish if I were smart enough so that I could apply to participate in the Google SOC since it really pays and it pays good, besides you could make a name for yourself and you future would become very interesting, interesting indeed.
Just head on to Google SOC for ideas of what Google SOC is all about.
Somehow the song by Phil Collins keeps ringing in my head, for whatever reason.. I suppose I'll put up the lyrics for the song for the sake of it
