Top 15 Hottest Anime Guy

Posted by mickung
I have nothing to do in particular and I haven't even read manga today. This is sooo unbelievable! So rare of me 'coz I am a certified manga reader addict, lol. So, while searching in the internet (searching for a next prospective manga to read), I stumbled upon some new anime characters that are quite unfamiliar with me. and most of them are pretty haawwttt! Then, i came up with a solution to list (at least 15) all the hottest anime guys I have ever known or watched so far until this day. Actually, there are lots out there but I am kinda tired to list them all down (laugh) so I just picked the top 15. This is based on my own opinion and taste. So don't mock or scorn me out of my choices, hahaha. 

1. Touya - Ayashi no Ceres

2. Rayne - Neo Angelique Abyss

3. Zero Kiryu - Vampire Knight

4. Yakumo Saito - Psychic Detective Yakumo

5. Kanami Kuran - Vampire Knight

6. Usui Takumi - Kaichou Wa Maid Sama

7. Toshizo Hijikata - Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan 

8. Dark - DN Angel

9. Tamahome - Fushigi Yuugi

10. Zess or Luka Crosszeria  - Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru

11. Ren Tsuruga -Skip Beat!

12. Ban Midou - Get Backers

13. Kei Takishima - Special A

14. Kenshin Himura - Samurai X

15.  Ikuto Tsukiyomi - Shugo Chara

Have you noticed their similarities? If you haven't, I better tell yah. Aside from being perfectly good looking guys, they are all serious! I like cold and indeffirent characters yet so caring (in anime only). Though some of them like Usui, Ban, Tamahome and Kenshin are not all the time serious. But, they can be serious though. And when they become like that, oh my, they get so handsome and hot!!! They look so striking when they smirk/grin. (faint

I am planning to make the top list hottest men for manga characters, but i don't know when I can possibly do that one;D

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu

Posted by mickung
Overview: Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu (Today, Love Starts)
Tsubaki is a girl who loves making her younger sister's hair pretty every morning, but she doesn't think that kind of style suits herself! The day of her High School Beginning Ceremony, after she failed in being the top student (who usually makes the ceremony speech), she finds herself sitting next to the actual top student of the first years, the worst rude guy ever, Kyouta. She ends up cutting his hair on purpose because of the bad things he says to her. Kyouta demands that Tsubaki pay him back with her body, but Tsubaki fixes his hair instead--making it even shorter! After that, Kyouta unexpectedly kisses Tsubaki and swears that he'll make her his woman.

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu Main Characters:
Hibino Tsubaki

Hibino Tsubaki. The protagonist of the story. She's very timid and conservative girl who wished to walk in the aisle purely untouched, meaning "virgin":-). She oftentimes teased by her classmates especially Kyouta as the "showa girl" from showa era because of her old braided hairstyle. She has never expected to fall in love here in this "worst school with worst people" as she certainly described and never in her dreams did she imagined to fall with this arrogant Kyouta. What will gonna happen to her last resolve when she was head over heels in love with the notorious Kyouta who happens to play along with the girl's feeling? And how could she managed to get into his cold, closed heart that rooted from his past?


Tsubaki Kyouta
Tsubaki Kyouta . The arrogant handsome boy who was known to be a "great playboy". He used to mess up with girl's feeling and usually turned them down once they confessed their true feelings for him. Why is he doing that? And how about Tsubaki? What's really his true intention when he said to her "I'm going to snatch away all your first experiences"?


Sakura
Sakura. Hibino's sister who's super cute and was very popular among the boys. She got her hair nicely done by Hibino every morning. At her visit to Hibino's school, she caught a glimpse of Kyouta who got her attention. Since then, she was trying to get closer to him, visiting him in his work and even sought help from Hibino. But, when she realized that Kyouta wasn't interested at her and Hibino certainly did like him, she gave way. There are times when she help them get together again. She's really a great help for her.


Miho
Miho. Hibino's first friend at school and became so helpful to her, encouraging her to pursue her feelings towards Kyouta. Her cheerfulness brought light to Hibino's gloomy attitude. But, is she really a genuine friend or she was just purely pretending to be? Hibino's so-called "friend" has personal motive but what could it be?


Haru
Haru. Kyouta's childhood friend. He was a foreigner and returned to Japan to study... and also to take revenge? How can he hold grudges against his friend Kyouta? What could be his reason for trying to ruin Kyouta's relationship then?


Nishiki
Nishiki. Kyouta's classmate and co-worker. They worked in the same company for part-time job. His lively and hilarious attitude was just so... funny!LOL. He had a crush on Sakura. Not to mention that he had been helping Kyouta during critical times.


Conclusion:
Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu is absolutely a must-read manga. I strongly recommend this one. The story isn't like mostly of the love stories you've stumbled upon and read over online. It is uniquely made and its artworks are simply fabulous. Not to mention how well-made the drawings are. I love the details of their hairs and eyes. The clothes are undeniably fashionable...well, except for Hibino who lacks fashion sense. But she really improved as the story goes on.
About the story, it's fascinating and compelling. Once you've laid your eyes on it, you'll likely get hooked with it. The story between an old-fashion student and a popular handsome guy is quite exciting, bringing you chills throughout. Feeling like you've drawn into it is inevitable! Ah, i can't explain the feeling. Just read it and you'll know what i mean. Anyway, the story isn't yet finished, so we still have quite a long run to go. I will keep you updated and hopefully, i could find time to update this one, if time permits.:D

Here is the first OVA episode of Kyou, koi wo hajimemasu. However, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND watching this OVA without reading first the entire manga story. I assure you, you'll definitely get strayed and confused of the story and maybe at some point think that it is a nonsense anime.

My point is, KYOU, KOI WO HAJIMEMASU MANGA is way lot better than its OVA version.:D


Happy reading!
Read Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu online. 


This week's featured AMV (22)

Posted by mickung
This is a beautiful compilation of diverse emotional and key moments of series such as Death Note, Vampire Knight, Code Geass, Haruhi Suzumiya and others, very well done with great quality.



Video done by Subarashi6 of youtube.

Just as it usually happens with American comics (save a few exceptions, cough *The Dark Knight* cough), live action adaptations of anime/manga series have traditionally been an utter failure in box offices worldwide.

With the upcoming opening of Avatar: The Last Airbender this month on your nearest cinema, we can review the why and what will happen in the future with pending live action anime adaptations.

We have to keep in mind that Japanese cinema is still the ideal media for live action adaptations of animes, even if audiences are reduced to locals and fans.


Dragon Ball Z: Evolution (2009):

This adaptation had James Wong as a director and a less than ideal cast  to play the characters, neither Chow Yun Fat or James Marsters could save this lackluster (they didn't look like the characters anyway!). The project started with a completely wrong approach, as if they didn't understand what the manga was about at all.

Even Krillin and Tien got removed from the script because they weren't considered relevant. And if we take the $100 million budget,it's difficult to know in what they spent it.

Rather than creating a solid script with specific details that was faithful to the manga and capture its essence, the film had this super tacky Mortal Kombat, Power Rangers, B-movie feel that leaves a bad taste in your brain after the credits roll . Ultraviolet was not so bad, if you look at it.

No wonder that fans of the original manga by Akira Toriyama consider it a total shame.

The images speak for themselves.





Sometimes I can't help thinking that if we had a real movie of Dragon Ball, with all the drama involved, at least half an hour would go only in the fight of Goku and Vegeta gathering strength XD. I don't know if a series or miniseries would be better in this case.


MADHOUSE, the studio behind series like Death Note and Vampire Hunter D, is producing the anime version of the CW series as part of a project for Warner Brothers.

According to the site Cinema Today, this is the first project by a Japanese studio based on foreign series.

Supernatural: the animation will be released on DVD and Blu Ray on January 12th, February 2nd and April 6th, 2011 respectively in Japan by Warner Home Video.

While animeanime.jp reports that the series will contain 22 episodes or OVAS that will cover the story of the first two seasons of the live action series, adding new scenes and original stories, as well as details of the Winchester brother's childhood.

Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Trigun) is in charge of character designs.

The seiyuus for the characters of Sam and Dean will be Yuya Uchida and Hiroki Touchi, the actors that did the Japanese dub for its broadcast in that country.



Following on from a poll the other day, Crunchyroll have now setup a petition to get 100,000 signatures and help it aquire the rights to simucast Bleach.

The petition will be sent directly to Japan, and if sucessful, could see simucasted on the site.

Crunchyroll already have a deal with Tokyo TV and is enjoying sucess with other SJ shows such as Naruto Shippuden and Fairy Tail

anyone interested in signing the petiton is asked to visit

------------------------

Parece ser que los Crunchyroll seran los que esten a cargo ahora de proveer los episodios de Bleach subtitulados desde el momento en que DB los deje de proveer.

Para eso han habilitado una pagina con una peticion para enviarla a Japon y de esa manera puedan obtener la negociacion con TVTokyo por los derechos de transmision simultanea y fansubbing.
