Blood Lad

Ever wondered if the monsters that go bump in the night have their very own world? Well, then wonder no more because that's exactly what you'll get in Blood Lad. This is about a vampire named Staz who is not only the boss of his terrority but as also been named to being one of the strongest vampires in the demon world.Weirdly, though he doesn't even like being a vampire and just thinks its a big fat pain in the butt.So he mostly just spends his time playing video games or watching anime and has long since dreamed to going to the human world or, at least, meeting a human in person.

According to this story, neither human nor monster can cross to each other's world without going through a lot of trouble just to visit. But, considering the fact that the humans don't even know about this other world the likely hood of one entering the demon world was slim to none.Until, one day a human girl named Fuyumi suddenly appears in the world of demons and in Staz's territory no less!

People wanted to know how she even got in there if she didn't even know about the demon world and she said that she saw a weird looking mirror in the alley and ended up stepping through it and the next thing she knew she was there.Of course, no one believed that she had gotten there so easily but how she got there wasn't the boss Staz's main concern all he was thinking about was meeting a human for the first time.But,alas dear Staz didn't get his wish because of a surprise attack from an unknown monster that wanted to defeat Staz in order for him to get his territory and ended up eating the poor girl and which in turn led her in becoming a ghost.

Staz then swears to Fuyami that he'll do whatever it takes towards bringing her back to life. This task becomes very difficult for him because no one even knows how to bring someone back to life. But then later he discovers that theirs a book on resurrection but its going to be hard to find. In this story theirs a lot of violence,magic, horror,humor and romance mixed together in this little gothic drawn story and I would have to say its a very enjoyable read.Also, this a manga and a anime and the anime was just recently made so they're aren't many episodes out there yet. I'm just glad that they finally turned it into an anime, now if only they would complete the manga.

Now with the anime of Blood Lad starting to make its appearance known I just hope this pushes them to update faster so we all can see how this ends.I just hope I get to see a one on one match with Staz against his older brother.

Love Monster

This manga is about a normal teenage girl named Hiyoko Osora who's after trying her hardest to a get into the school of her dreams and fails miserably when she fails the entrance exam to get in.Later, she gets a acceptance letter from school she didn't even apply to.But,considering the fact that her longtime dream of going into the school that she originally wanted to attend has shattered she decides that she doesn't have much more to lose.When she attends her first day at SM academy she gets the shock of her life. Hiyoko learns that she's attending a school for monsters!

If that wasn't enough the tall, dark and handsome student council president,Kouro, announces to everyone that not only is she a monster as well and a special one at that,she is also his fiancee.The shock of all these unexpected events and information seem to take a toll on the girl and she ends up fainting.Later,she discovers that she is what they call the 'White Crow'. Its a being that can has special abilities and one of them appears to be granting wishes.Now knowing that she is the white crow she tries to find out how to find and harness her powers and also find out how Kouro ended up becoming her fiancee.

But, this will become a harder task than she thinks because now that everyone knows what she is everyone,good or bad, wants her to grant their wishes.Also, mysteries about a legend and an evil monster keep popping up in her path for answers as she must now uncover who or what it is and what it has to do with her.This manga is complete so no cliffies but,unfortunately, their is no anime for this story as far as I know.

I thought that this was a very adorable and loving story in its own way.It has a lot of violence,humor,mystery,magic and romance which I just love.I also like how the so called"evil monster" was revealed and what he could do. This guy's powers were almost god-like with the things he could do compared to everyone else in this story.I also liked seeing how Hiyoko accepted and adjusted quite quickly to being a monster and going to school for monsters and I also liked her reaction to some of the few surprises that were thrown her way when she met a certain someone or how she took new slots of information from her normal life before she even started going to SM academy.I'm going to have to give this one thumbs up for this a very adventurous and telling story and I hope you all like it as much as I do.

From Far Away

This manga is about an ordinary girl named Noriko who then one day ends up in this other world after she is almost blown to bits. She ends up in a forest that's covered in golden moss and large, meat eating caterpillars. There she meets,Izark, a strong but silent type warrior that ends up saving her and she ends up following him around wherever he goes. But, what Noriko doesn't realize is that she came to that world as the Awakening and lots of people are trying to find her because she has the power to awaken and control the Sky Demon which is a monster with the most evil and most destructive power in the world.Once, these people get control over the Sky Demon they plan use it to help them spread fear across the world and help them take control of the world so that they can shape into their image.

Unknowingly, to Noriko her savior, Izark, did not come there to save her but to kill her for he is the Sky Demon and does not want to become a monster.As these two travel together they face powerful enemies,monsters and government conspiracies that unknowingly to Noriko has to do with her.Also, even when she sees Izark's unusual abilities she's not scared of him at all, but becomes very clueless to the fact that normal people don't do the things that he does.Now Izark must figure out a way for him to get her back home before she either figures out what's going on or worse gets captured by one of governments' of his world and they end up using her as the Awakening to fulfill the prophecy.

I've read this same story over and over again and I still can't get enough of it.This story has the perfect combination of fantasy, adventure, romance and a hint of violence that I just adore. I would really have to give my props to the creator of this story I think it was really well done.I especially love how Izark tries to keep it together for Noriko's sake and try his hardest to not lose his mind and become the Sky Demon. I also liked how these two slowly come to find that they have feelings for each other, even though, Izark tries to deny it with all of his might because he didn't want to end up hurting her plus he knew that she would,eventually, have to return to her world.

Unforntately,this story is only a manga, they have not created an anime yet and I don't know if they plan to in the near future.I think the reason they didn't make a show for this is because all the different languages involved in this would probably confuse everyone so they probably decided to just stick with the manga for this story.If your the swords,dragons and magic type person then you'll come to enjoy the story very much.

Cage of Eden

This anime is about a plane full of people (high schoolers, teachers, adults, etc) that get on a plane that's heading for Guam but suddenly a disturbance takes place on the plane and the plane ends up going down. Now almost everyone survives the crash and later learns that they've landed on an island somewhere. The pilots eventually calm everyone down by saying that when they repair the radio they will be able to call for help. But then later realize that no help is coming at all to save them.

Once realization hit that no one is coming to rescue them most of the majority of people on the plane leave and explore the island. They come to find that this island is nowhere on the map and that its inhabitants consists of weird and even deadly plants, prehistoric dinosaurs and other freakish creatures. But, with no help coming and their food and supplies running low they had no choice but to go deeper into the island's depths and try to find a way off that island and get home.This anime reminds me a lot of the show Lost because you end up getting more questions than answers.

When everyone starts exploring they,eventually, start to become different groups and split into different directions on the island.The main character seems to be Akira a high school boy that just like the rest of his classmates was sitting happily in plane while playing with his friends while waiting to go home till all of this chaos happened. Akira becomes the leader of one of these groups because he always had a plan, can make the final decision and motivate his people to do it, even when he himself becomes overwhelmed by their unexpected situation.

I kind of get why they called this anime the Cage of Eden but what I don't get is the Eden part, isn't Eden supposed to be this great perfect place that everyone could live happily in? This place doesn't sound anything like its supposed to be and actually sounds like the opposite.Well with the title aside I really like this manga and their is only the manga,unfortunately, their is no anime to watch out their but the manga is complete so you guys won't have to worry about any cliffies.I really enjoyed the thrill and adventure that took place in this story but considered how so many mysteries came up while reading it made me want to pull my hair out. But, nevertheless, it was still an enjoyable read.

Loveless

The Loveless series is about a 12 year old boy named Ritsuka Aoyagi who has not only lost his only brother ,Seimei, but has also lost  all of his memories. Along with his memories his personality seems to have changed drastically. Since then he has started taking pictures of everything that he wants to remember so that if he ever loses his memories again he will still remember who he was by looking at the pictures.

Then, one day, he meets Soubi who then introduces himself as one of Seimei's old friends. When Ritsuka heard that Soubi was a friend of his older brother he immediately wanted to create memories with him. But, then later learns that Soubi was his brother's fighter and Seimei was the sacrifice in which both of them were both involved with spell battles that require words to fight.Soubi tells Ritsuka that he was ordered by Seimei to become his fighter if  he ever died.He reluctantly accepts the role of being his sacrifice and let's Soubi become his fighter.

Later, he learns that his dear older brother was murdered by a group called Septimal Moon. Now with Soubi at his side he must now fight other pairs of people in spell battles, figure out who or what is the Septimal Moon and why they killed his brother.

I enjoyed this show very much but if your not into the yaoi type stories then this isn't for you but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep an open mind and try it anyway.The anime for this is complete but leaves alot of questions unanswered and I do not know if their making a second season for this anime. Also, not all of Loveless manga series has been released yet and I can't wait till they reveal the final chapter to see how it all ends.

Welcome to Wonderland

This next manga is called Heart no kuni no Alice. This story is just a manga as far as I know and I heard that their making a sequel, which they should because they left a couple of unanswered questions that need to be answered as soon as possible. I loved this story because its Alice and wonderland japanese style. Its the remake of the original but with a lot of twists, turns,deaths and handsome men.

Its about a girl named Alice and if who've read the original story then, of course, you would know that she falls asleep and then follows a white rabbit down a hole. Alice then finds herself in wonderland or what they call the"Country of Hearts" in which now the rabbit named Peter White tells her she needs to participate in a game if she ever wants to return home. For her to win the game and return to her home she must fill up a small potion bottle and the only way to do that is by meeting and interacting with the different people that live in wonderland. Now you would think that this would be an easy task so did she at first but after almost getting killed several times on her first day I was very surprised to find that she still wanted to go outside. This girl that has been thrown into a world full of crazy morals, rules,gunfights, faceless people and handsome men will have to do all she can to return home or die trying.

Hack Soundtrack

While I was watching Hack//Sign I found that the background music that was played during the show was very enjoyable. The music that they picked for this show portrayed what was happening in the show perfectly and was executed perfectly every time. If any of you guys want to listen to any of them then some the song names are called magic and the sword,fake wings, obsession and one of my personal favorites the world. But, my favorite song would have to be the opening theme song for Hack//Sign. I would have to say the opening was what first drew me in the first place.

The Hack//Sign

Happy fourth of July everyone! The new anime of the day is Hack//Sign. I not only loved the story but also the possible technology that they used in this show. The technology in this how let's people put their very minds into the video game. I so wish that we could do that if it was possible, I would be going into cyberspace almost everyday.

Well this story is about a Wave master named Tsukasa who mysteriously appears into the game with no memory of who or what is going on. Not only that but he also can't log out of the game for some reason. So now he has to find out why he can't log out and find out why he can't remember anything. But, he gets the strangest feeling that the strange things that he encounters has something to do with his abnormal situation. Like, for example, the strange appearing and disappearing cat that keeps following him around. He meets unique characters, goes through dangerous quests and must avoid getting arrested by the World's virtual poilice at all costs while he trying to find the answers he seeks.

Battle Royale

One of my favorite scenes in Magico would have to be when they have to win a tournament in order for them to get one of the items that they need to complete the ritual.Its not just any competition neither its a couple competition so only couples can enter.Now your probably thinking its going to be like a tag team fighting tournament and whoever is left standing wins.Well, that's not exactly what happens here.These people not only want to see them fight but also want to see how strong their love is for one another.Automatically Shion and Emma start to panic for they don't even know what they even feel for each other.They are getting married but just for the sake of sealing away the Echidna.But, even though, that is the case they both hope that they like and know each other enough to get through this without getting disqualified.

Sage of the West



Shion Eliphas Levi

Shion in the main heroine in this series besides Emma, he's the one who saves her from getting married to the king and who she has to marry if she doesn't want to become a walking disaster that will eventually wreck havoc to the world.When he first appears he makes one of the most unpredictable appearances I have ever seen.So after his cool entrance and awesome save of the bride to be you would think he stays like this the entire show NOT.When this boy's guard is down he reveals to everyone is true nature which is that he's a clumsy,weird,never had taste buds in his entire life boy.

But you can laugh at him all you want because apparently he's not just any wizard he's one of the three famous and all powerful wizards of the west.With the title alone people run in fear of him, well the people who don't know him or the people who think they can take him and then become famous if they can defeat him.If things weren't hard enough that will definitely raise the difficulty level a bit.Also, besides, him being famous and very powerful he is also super rich would be a super plus for Emma, the girl who basically had nothing her entire life.These two are a cute and idiotic couple that were practically made for each other.So watch them has they go through hell and back to accomplish their goal and become closer and closer towards their feelings for each other.

Magico

I thought that this manga was super cute and funny.The manga is called Magico and its basically about a country girl named Emma who all her life just wanted to visit the big city, but once she does she starts to notice that every boy that she meets becomes instantly in love with her.The situation then gets so bad that she ends up getting ready to marry the country's king.Luckily the marriage ceremony is never finished thanks to our heroine Shion.

Shion saves her from getting married and then tells her that she is the great and powerful Echidna, which is born every 500 years to wreck havoc on the world.But their is a way to save the world from such a destructive force and that's by performing Magico to seal away the power within her.To successfully perform the ceremony they must go to very dangerous places, collect very scared or very well guarded items and pass obstacles that will most likely kill them.That's most likely why most people couldn't perform it all those other times before.But the most important part and final part of the ritual is getting married and not to just anyone but to Shion himself.

All this girl wanted to do was go and live her life in the big city instead of being alone and isolated in the country.Now on the first day of her first great adventure she must make the most difficult decison of her life.Perform Magico and marry Shion or let the Echidna take over and destroy the world?

Love Triangle

I don't know who I would want Kagome to be with more Koga or Inuyasha? But if I was her I would try to have them both their both super hot!! But if I had to choose for her I would like for her to end up with Koga. I know, I know that she should end up with  Inuyasha because their both the main characters in the story and all but I still hope for Koga.I mean when it came to love Inuyasha was fickle as hell, he would act like he had the hots for Kagome but whenever his ex-girlfreind,Kikyo, came along he instantly goes off to see her even though he knew it would break her heart.I mean who would do that to a potential future girlfriend!

 

And secondly he either brushes her off or they get into a fight.They do eventually make up or have a little love moment somewhere but then the violent cycle would then start all over again.I mean I'm not hating on Inuyasha or anything I just think that when it comes to love he's got a few issues to resolve.That's why I think Koga should have ended up with Kagome he knew what he wanted from the get go and didn't waver one bit even when he finally remembered that he promised himself to Ayame. Also no matter how many times she tries to 'hint' him that she's not interested he brushes it off and tries again. I don't know if its persistence or thick headedness but you got to give him his props for trying,right?So that's my opinion on the subject and I'll always keep rooting for him in hopes that he will one day finally get the girl of his dreams.

 

Inuyasha

Inuyasha is about a 16 year old girl named Kagome who ends up traveling to the past and wakes up a 50 year old dog demon named Inuyasha. Eventually they decide to work together to put together the Shikon Jewel that was broken and was scattered all over Japan.They end up fighting alot of things from demons and evil spirits to old lovers and final exams.I think its it an awesome anime and it happened to be the first one I've ever watched which in turn turned me into the anime fan that I am today.
