Neat

Weird bit of information I pried open from the internet box. Mayumi Yamaguchi (japanese voice actress for Envy on FMA) is also a part-time singer. Some of her songs I've heard and never known it was her singing all along! Some of her songs include Marai and baby Don't Cry. There's alot of others that I don't feel like naming now so GO! Go to the deepest depths of the internet to find them! In other news (or not so) Sonic has been pretty queit lately. (by lately, I mean the last year) And I mean silent Where's the promised Sonic 4 and Sonic Anniversary? (Did Sonic 4 already come out? That's what all my friends tell me but I haven't seen it. Ah well.) Gamer Pro magazine had an article on "Sonic's Dilemna". It had several paragraphs on how fans are becoming more rabid and two graphs on the decline in Sega's stocks under the Sonic franchise. The article may have been deppressing, but the pictures were cute. But there's a new Sonic Universe arc. It's a Silver arc (FINALLY!) and how he returns to the past to rescue Mobius from Enerjak. Again. I haven't gotten it yet, so I don't know the nitty gritty but it's along those lines. Also, my fancy stemapunk goggles and The Last Unicorn book have not yet arrived in the mail. It has been almost four weeks since Shevacon ended and they are NOT HERE! This is disturbing news. BUT NOT TO WORRY, THE POWER OF PRAYER WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING! So, I went to Best Buy the other day, armed with a Christmas giftcard and I purchased the FMA second season box set. I was gonna get the Epic Micket game because I still haven't gotten to beta test it yet. (Everyone else has, why not me!? I mean, they had a beta tester at Mysticon! Mysticon!) So, I watched the episode Theory of Avarice first and it was pretty epic. This was the one where Greed was defeated. It was kind of an awkward situation before he died. He was all curled up in a little ball while telling Edward how to defeat the other Homunculi. Ed didn't want to believe that he actually defeated Greed. He appeared genuinely upset over Greed's death, even though he was a villian. Marta was currently located inside Alphonse's armor and Dante/Lyra was MIA. That was that. So, before I wrap up, please pray for Japan. You (the reader) may not be religious, but just do it. 98% of the Japanese went to Hell that day, whether you believe it or not. So please just pray.

Mc Reveiws: Soul-Eater

Hey Chib's-san-O's out there. I did it again! Now I've begun to conquer even our beloved Soul Eater. The funny thing about this show is that its supposed to be serious but failing miserably. It was meant to be but not. Its just too funny and random to be that dark. So, basically its about these teens (on Earth, surprisingly. Not some alternate universe) who go to this hidden school called DWMA , located deep in Nevada (widely known as the "academy"). The school is for kids who have passed a specific exam to allow them to participate in a hunt of sorts. This hunt is actually for each student team to capture 99 kishin souls (their word for extremely evil people) and one witch soul in order to graduate. And the witches aren't even witches. They just think the are. They capture these souls of the evil to rid the world of...well, evil. (Why do all these shows end up with the heroes trying to rid the world of evil?! Not that I'm complaining, but it's getting old.) Each student is either classified as a meister or a weapon. Weapons are kids who have the ability to transform into a weapon, and meisters are the weilders of their partners, the weapons. They use their weapon-partners to defeat the kishin. There are three teams of seven main antoganists. The first and main team is Maka Albarn, a 14 year old (I think..) girl, daughter of Spirit Albarn who is the weapon for the principal of DWMA, Lord Shinigami. Her partner and weapon is Soul, an albino boy who can turn into an enormous scythe.Team two is Black Star, a blue-haired boy with A.D.D. and apperantly is related to Naruto. His partner is Tsubaki, a queit, calm and collective girl who can turn into a chain scythe. (A chain scythe is two huge shuriken connected by a chain.) Team three is Kidd, a black-haired boy who has three white stripes through his hair and has an obsessive disorder over symmetry. (anything non-symmetrical that he sees, he destroys. He also hates his hair.) His weapons are Liz and Patty Thompson. (they used to be outlaws, but Kidd found them and made them change their ways when they became his weapons) They're sisters and both turn into pistols. Kidd is also the son of Shinigami, giving him airs and privelages unlike the other meisters. Other important characters (wow, this is taking longer than I thought..) include Proffesor Stein, a kind but slightly insane doctor who hosts biology class. There's Spirit, a comical redhead who's also Maka's dad and Lord Shinigami's weapon. Ther is also Marie, Stein's lover. She's kind and kind of out-of-it. She also weilds a small hammer and has an eyepatch. Students are Ox Ford, a child-prodigy obsessed with learning. Kim Deihl, in relationship with Ox and meister to Jaqueline o' Lantern. Jaqueline is a lamp weapon and can be used as either a regular lamp or a flamethrower. Thunder and Fire are chibi twins who don't do much. Villians are Medusa, one of the evil witches. She's a snake witch and derives pleasure from controlling people's minds. Free is also a villian. Free serves Medusa and is very carefree and is basically superhuman. My favorite is Crona, a young boy who is claustrophobic and afraid of being around other people, especially girls. He has purple hair and has a monotone voice, and is the meister to Ragnarok. The first known kishin is Asura, an extremely paranoid but insane. He has odd habits like wearing seven layers of scarves and eating his weapon Vajra whenever he feels. Blair is a shapeshifting neko-girl who has purple hair and has a major, poorly diguised crush on Soul. So, that's that.

ShevaCon

Awesome! Just came bck from Shevacon! Well, not just (notice the itailics (sp?). Just began using them. Aren't they great?!) back, like last week back. It was last Friday through last Sunday and it was so cool! Cutting to the chase, there was an enormous dealer's room (there I got a pair of steampunk/mad scientist goggles, two FMA figurines, the last unicorn book, a suckerpunch poster, and a whole slew of brocherurs.), I saw two Dragon cosplayers, one Ash Ketchum, 5 or 6 steampunk'ers, many Storm Troopers, The Ghost Busters, The Harry Potter gang (including the Snitch!), 2 Nekos and too many Darth whatever's to count. Only saw one Naruto cosplayer for some reason and no Bleach people at all, surprisingly enough. But I was glad for it. The Bleach part, that is. At least I was spared from dying on the spot. Bleach is the worst anime ever. Now, there were plenty of panels. My favorites were the Aliens panel (never heard of the movie until then; people at the booth kindly informed me for later research of every waking detail on how they hatch eggs in your stomach and crawl out of your chest. They also enlightened me that they existed to protect me from those kinds of dangers. Phew, it's a good thing that I can rest safely and that the Paranormal investigators will rescue me.), and the Wizengamot Muggle Quidditch league of Roanoke Virginia for beggining wizards. (They also informed me that if I don't join their thriving society of already 30 active members that they will use the Imperious curse on me. Wow.) At the anime dvd dealer's table were a whole bunch of videos that I would've loved to buy. Then after I left to Chick fil a and came back, all that was left on the table was 2 stacks of One Peice movies. It stayed that way for the entire convention. Wow. People must really hate One Peice.
