First off, Jigoku Shoujo (Or in English, Hell Girl)

It’s been quite great so far, some people don’t really like the repetition of it, but I do.  Enma Ai is so cool, how could you get tired of her sending people to Hell?  It’s like a different story everytime, I like it.  I’ve heard the plot starts developing soon, I’m around episode 11-12, I intend to keep watching once I can find them online again!  Beautiful art too!

Next, Ergo Proxy

I found this anime through a little thingy I got with the last issue of Anime Insider and boy am I glad I started watching it!  This series is just AMAZING!  I’m only on episode 8 and I LOVE it!  If you’re looking for a cool, dark anime, this one is recommended.  Can’t wait to watch more ^-^

Finally, Witch Hunter Robin.

I’ve heard about this one in the past and I finally decided to give it a try.  I’m only on episode 2 because I literally mean I JUST started it.  But I liked it, don’t LOVE it yet, but I think I could.  You can’t judge an anime by the first few episodes. . . And they’re not bad, just a little slow, but it’ll pick up, I’m confident of that.  The art style is nice and the english dub is WIN because of Kari Wahlgren and Crispin Freeman <3

But in the meantime, for this little ‘update’ post, I’m going to advertise a very awesome website I found through a classmate, it’s http://www.onemanga.com  there is TONS of translated manga there, I’ve gotten to read so many great series and get caught up with Fullmetal Alchemist!  So I say you should go there and check it out, eh?

Happy Halloween!

And maybe even Blood+…. I would die of happiness XD

We got there pretty early, not much of a line to wait in to get our event badges unlike last year. Then we found out we couldn’t get into the Exhibit Hall, which is where all the stuff to buy is, until 10:00 AM so we had an hour to kill which we just waited around, watched other cosplayers etc. There was an Itachi, some guys from Final Fantasy or something, Ino, Chouji, Tsunade, Jiraya, Shizune, Sasuke, and uhh, prolly more. I didn’t get pics, sorry! They were kind of loud and noisy… Oh and I was there cosplayed as Saya! With cosplaying as Solomon!

So when it finally opened up, we began our quest for a certain shop we enjoyed last year, a guy brought a TON of Japanese manga and related anime books. He wasn’t there this year and it SUCKED. But they had plenty of anime stores. Not really anything Blood+ which was kind of disappointing but lot’s of other stuff.

This store had a lot of cute Pokemon plushies, I got some stuff there that you’ll see later in the journal.

The exhibit hall was very big and it took us quite awhile to get around the whole thing. Most of the shops were for card/online RPG gamers. So finding anime shops was a chore. Especially since I was in high heels, which uh, let me give you some advice, unless you’re a REALLY dedicated cosplayer, DO NOT WEAR HIGH HEELS AROUND A CONVENTION. My feet are like soooo dead right now.

Like I said, some anime stuff.

Pokemon was a common thing this year oddly enough.

So after a while of walking around, buying crap, feet hurting, we decided we were done. Since we went today, no anime related events were going on so we just went to the manga library thing for a little R&R.

I was really tired ^^’

So after that, we left. Overall, pretty okay, I can’t really call it fun lol, cept being Saya was pretty cool. Cosplaying as Blood+ is win. For sure. Now I can show you what I got!!

And I got this for a friend

It’s a figure, but I didn’t want to open it, that’s up to her ^^’

And this for my sis

     And wait, it gets better!  I hear a lot of you like the manga series better?  Well this second series is completely based on the manga!  I can’t wait to hear Ling’s voice.  Hopefully they’ll bring it to America, I mean, why wouldn’t they?

 Blood+ volume 3 came out, a while back, so if you didn’t pick it up, I suggest you get on it!  And let me tell you from personal experience of reading it, it is AMAZING!! It’s the best of the manga so far! I was soooo thrilled when I read it.  Loved it to bits!

Next, remember my blog pondering what anime would be next on Adult Swim.  Well of course, it turned out to be a crappy one. Morbito is the name. And uhhh… It is… uhh… HORRID.  No offense if there’s any fans but… C’mon, Adult Swim, you can put better anime than that!! I really expected a lot ;___;

Okay, I just realized while typing this I’d rather announce the rest of the news in seperate blogs because some of it is pretty big.

Until next time,

Opening 1/Main

Believe it or not, this opening took some time to grow on me. The song is a little too much for me, well, at least at first, now I love it and listen to it too much. But it’s fast paced, fitting for this action packed anime! The video however, is quite cool, lot’s of interesting and awesome scenes. You have to watch to understand.
