Nuns and Guns!

I was reading a really cute manga that I ran across on mangafox earlier. It’s called Pink Innocence. I usually don’t laugh much when watching anime or reading manga. If somethings funny I kind of grin and continue, I never really laugh out loud. But then I found this part! XD

ROFLMAO! SERIOUSLY WICKED STUFF! Nothing like a naive girl to get tricked into wearing something completely naughty and doing poses for a doppleganger who she thought was the guy she loved, ROFL! Most guys have Neko fetishes or other much more common moe fantasies! I haven’t seen the Nun as much as I’ve seen others. This seriously cracked me up. A Nun cosplay and a bazooka to top it all off. Gah, I just love girls with guns! (Even if it’s random pointless shoujo guns! XD)

Shugo Chara! – Episode 47

I didn’t plan on picking up blogging this series until the start of the second season, but I’m bored and want to post about something, so I’m reviewing this episode anyways! :P

Summary

(My Japanese isn’t top notch, so some of these translations could be wrong! XD)

The episode begins with Amu doing homework. Her Charas are rather hyper and they sing a song much to Amu’s annoyance. Ami comes into Amu’s room saying that a lady is on the phone. It turns out to be Utau’s manager. She’s sick with a cold and wants Amu to fill in as manager for Utau for a day.

Amu says that she doesn’t know anything about being a manager, but then Utau pretty much forces her into it with her awesome tsunedre-ness. Sanjo-san apologizes to Amu for the trouble. Amu reluctantly agrees to the job as she really has no choice. She talks to her Charas a little and then Utau asks her if she is just gonna stand there all day, while Iru yells at Amu to hurry up.

Amu and Utau get on a train, and Amu says that she really doesn’t know how to be a manager. Eru digs around inside of Amu’s bag and pulls out glasses and then declares that she’s more like a manager with glasses on. Amu laughs a bit and then says that the glasses look kind of cool

A couple of people on the train notice Amu talking to her Charas but think she’s just talking to herself. Utau gets slightly embarrassed and backs away from Amu calling her an idiot. They arrive at what I’m assuming is a Tv company and meet with some guy in charge. He says Utau’s appointment has been cancelled and Utua gets angry. Utau begins to argue with him and he apologizes and asks where her manger is. Utau turns to Amu and says that Amu is her manager for the day. Amu was freaking out.

The conversation ends and the guy walks away, and then some weird boy band shows up. The boy band begins talking about stupid stuff, bragging about being on tv or something and Utau gets even more pissed off and walks away, Amu follows her.

Amu asks Utau what’s wrong and Utau says she wouldn’t understand, then explains that her career has been suffering lately due to leaving Easter. (I think that’s what she said, but it’s more of a guess than anything else, don’t quote me on it.)

Eru begins complaining on Utau’s behalf and then we go to a weird scene set in older times (Presumably Eru’s imagination). Utau is surrounded by a bunch of people calling her a traitor and runs away crying.

Amu says that she doesn’t know what to do and goes to call Sanjo-san but is stopped by Utau who didn’t want Sanjo to know. (I think that’s what Utau said) The scene flips over to Sanjo who is laying down resting. Out of no where Nikaidou appears and Sanjo touches his face not realizing he’s actually there.

Utau and Amu are having a chat on a bridge. Utau says that she only made it so far because of Easter and that she wants to create her career with her own power. Amu gets an energy boost and becomes more confident. Utau looks at her like she’s crazy an Amu and Utau go all half-chibi. Cuteness ensues.

They return to the Tv company and talk to the same guy from before. Amu speaks on Utau’s behalf asking for him to please reconsider the cancellation. He says there is really nothing he can do. They get kicked out, but Utau is very surprised with Amu for trying to help her. Amu yells that they’re stingy at the closing doors of the Tv company. (Rofl)

Amu goes around to various places trying to get them to let Utau be on their shows. After a few places it shows them at another company and Amu begging a man to let Utau have a chance. Utau pushes away her pride, bows and asks as well, much to everyone’s shock. The guy they were talking to said it wasn’t in his power to decide and walks away. Then that crazy fortune-telling lady who has horrible driving skills and a loli-complex shows up.

Amu and Utau are feeling down after so many rejections, but cheer up again quickly and continue searching for company’s that will accept Utau. They have no success and it becomes evening. Amu is getting her and Utau drinks and says that being a manager is hard. When walking back to give the drink to Utau she hears Utau singing. Amu says her singing is very beautiful.

Amu sits down next to Utau and takes a drink and Utau asks Amu if she’s seen Ikuto lately, (Thanks Fuyu for clarifying, I wasn’t sure what she said just there) and Amu sprays her drink everywhere. Amu asks why Utau wants to know all of the sudden. Amu says she hasn’t seen him since the last fight. :P Amu asks about Ikuto and Easter and Utau explains that they were both trapped by the organization. (I think, but who cares, just bring back Ikuto! NOW SATELIGHT!)

A random X egg shows up. Utau is in the tsunedre emo corner (is there such a thing?) and says that Amu should just leave it. Amu says she won’t and goes to fight. She character transforms with Miki. More and more X eggs begin to show up, then they turn into X charas.. Eru and Iru try to get Utau to help Amu, but she’s wallowing. She soon gets cheered up by Eru and goes to help Amu.

Utau chara-nari’s with Eru. She uses “Angel Cradle” and puts the X chara’s to sleep, they return to their eggs. They go back to normal hearts eggs. We switch over to Amu fighting X eggs and she uses her Open Heart attack to cleanse them. Amu goes back to Utau but finds the park where they were filled with people listening to Utau sing a beautiful song. The crowd recognizes her and wonders what she’s doing there. They call her amazing, and give her many other compliments. ^.^

To bring the episode to a close, it switches to the next day. Amu and Sanjo-san are watching Utau sing in the same park. Utau looks truly happy. It shows Amu later that night trying to do her home work again and complaining about how she doesn’t get it. *Head desk*

The preview for the next episode shows the guardians and Amu messing around. It seems to be based around Yaya, and Kukai shows up! YAY! XDXD

Opinions

I went way overboard with the screencaps, but there was just a lot of awesomeness going around in this ep! :P

Singing Charas! This is the cutest of seen these three in a while! XD

More uber cuteness! Ami you’re so kawaii!

Gah, doesn’t amu look confused. XD I wouldn’t expect an adult to make someone underage into a manager even if it’s just for a day. But hey, it’s an anime. :P

GAH! Eru owns my soul!…Or at least the parts that don’t belong to Ikuto, Utau, Rima, Amu, Maka and Chrona. ROFL

Aww…Poor Sanjo-san! All sick. T.T

CHEEE! Utau is frickin’ Epic! Look at her epicness…she even makes that pole look epic.

*Dies* This scene made me laugh so hard! Amu with glasses is just awesome. Another one of Eru’s brilliant plans. ^.^

Pissed Utau is so cute. I love her angry attitude, and Amu freaking out made it so much better. :P

Utau telling off the idiot company guy. Look at him and all his stupidness. Bleh.

Eru has an odd imagination! But look at Utau, so moe cute. Gah…*Glomps Utau*

Utau and Amu make such a great pair. Such similar personalities shown in different ways, they’re fun to watch.

WOW! O.O A non-prideful Utau. This almost made me fall out of my chair.

SUUUUUUUUUURE, Amu, you don’t like Ikuto at all. That expression is really convincing. (Hehe…XD)

Finally! A chara-nari that isn’t Amulet Heart. I was so sick of that. Good Miki got a chance to shine for the first time in a while. (Though it was short)

Eep! Angel-Devil Cuteness! Eru and Iru are getting along so well lately! :P

I really really love this Chara-nari! I particularly love the music that they play in the background, it sounds angelic. ^.^ Plus the attack is so sweet and Utau seems so innocent.

YES UTAU! SING YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEART OUT! Gah, I love you, Utau. T.T

*Head Desk*

Shugo Chara – Bringing Idiocy to Fans Everywhere!

Ok, So I’m rather pissed off. Up until this point I’d managed to avoid most of the drama and online wars of Shugo Chara! Well now I’m right in the middle of it and pissed off cause I didn’t even want to be there.

How could anyone call him a stalker?! Look at that innocent face.

I watched a Shugo Chara AMV yesterday and replied to someone’s comment. The comments said the Ikuto was a pedofile, so I replied back saying he wasn’t because their age difference isn’t that big. The person also said that it’s funny how everyone thinks Ikuto’s in love with Amu. I said that he has expressed his interest in her multiple times. This was the reply I got…

“INTEREST doesn’t mean LOVE. INTEREST means STALKING meaning PEDO.”

Um…yeah…okay, this statement is obviously well thought out. Now I ask you, does this make sense? Because last time I checked a pedophile was someone who took interest in children. Amu isn’t a child. And how does having interest in someone mean that you’re stalking them? I just don’t understand this way of thinking. There is no logic or reasoning to it, it’s just the first thing this person could pull off the top of their head. I was really upset by the rude reply, because I was in no way rude when I posted my comment.

I’m starting to understand what Fuyu and other bloggers have been pissed about lately. Everywhere you go it’s Shugo Chara, which is fine because it’s a good anime. But where there is Shugo Chara, in comments or forums there is war. I don’t think Peach-Pit created Shugo Chara to be the means of the internet’s World War One. Do these fans realize that they aren’t behaving in a good way like they think they are? They’re bringing shame to the anime and manga with such immature behavior. It’s like Kagome vs Kikyo all over again. Just as foolish, but more drama packed.

These crazed and idiotic fans are affecting the way the rest of us look at the anime. It’s harder to enjoy when you see people arguing and calling eachother names to get their point across. Now debate, I can understand. When you have substantial backings for your points or when you’re discussing your opinions is fine. I like a healthy debate now and then. But it’s just ridiculous because of personal attacks. I’ve been called stupid, bitch and tons of other completely non-creative insults for replying to comments and not agreeing with someone’s opinion.

But the thing is, it’s my opinion that I’m stating. The way I look at things and what I think about it. It’s not like I’m saying “That’s the way it is and if you don’t like it go die in a hole”, because not everyone agrees on everything. But these immature fangirls think they are always right, and God forbid you disagree because they’ll sentence you to the 7th layer of hell for it.

I wonder if these girls realize that they’re getting worked up over ANIMATED characters? It’s all well and dandy to like a character but you have to realize that they don’t actually exist. I mean that’s pretty obvious right? Because if Ikuto was real then he probably would have ended up dead in the midst of a crazy fangirl mob who were attempting to rape him…(Not me though, I’d be smart about it and attack when no one was around…:P ) Why would you terrorize other people over something that brings tons of otaku girls joy? It’s not real, it’s not like someone just outright hit your best friend in the face. They don’t have to get so worked up or be so flippin angry because someone doesn’t agree with the Tadamu pairing or because someone likes Amuto. It’s lunacy.

And what’s with everyone calling Ikuto a pedo? That is seriously getting on my nerves. He is NOT a pedophile. People don’t have to date within the same age bracket. My mom and dad have a six year age difference and my mom is the older one….does that make her a pedophile? I don’t think so. I don’t understand how people can be so close minded. They obviously have never been in love because if they had the would understand the love knows NO age. Love is an emotion and you can’t control it. If you’re interested in someone younger than you, you can’t help that. So exactly how is Ikuto a pedophile again?!

And I’m sorry, but why does everyone bitch about Amuto being so wrong and not mention Utau’s bro-con? (Though I love her bro-con…) I mean cleary, age difference vs incest…which ones worse? It would almost be understandable if someone bitched about that.

And just for the hell of it, I bring you a picture with a little Amuto. <3 (Credit goes to Hinano for the scan! :3)

Gah Ikuto, I’m interested in you…XD Hm, I wonder how much I’m going to get flamed for this post? No way to tell, guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

Another AMV! Another Soul Eater Post!

This is my third post in the last week about Soul Eater, lol! I don’t know why I keep posting about the anime…maybe cause it’s epic. But recently that’s just what my posts are about. I should blog some other anime that I’ve watched at some point. T.T

I made this AMV in two days with extremely limited clips, but I still think it came out ok. It’s filled with my main lady Maka and her sidekick Chrona and little bit of Soul just for spice! Lmao.

So there it is, in all it’s wicked glory! (Well, I think it’s wicked at least…) Gah, I think I’m addicted to AMV making now…T.T I’m gonna watch some anime! AMV making is taking away from my precious otaku fangirling time, but it’s just so fun! T.T

Soul Eater – Episode 21

I’m doing a review post on the latest Soul Eater episode out of boredom. XD Just cause it’s fun and I have nothing better to do.

ROFLMAO!

Episode 21 begins with Death the kid having an emo moment. Patty and Liz try to talk him into continuing their chase after Free and Toad Witch.(Can’t remember her name! :P ) When that doesn’t work Liz has Patty use her street skills to whip Death into shape. He then begins crying and gets back on his skateboard and zooms away.

Flipping back over to Maka and Chrona’s fight, we get to see how the black blood has begun to effect Maka. While she did gain a lot of power from it, it looks like she’s completely lost her mind. Her fighting style and skill becomes equivalent to Chrona’s. Maka begins attacking and Chrona keeps saying she doesn’t know how to handle this situation. Lol

Maka was so funny in this episode. She seriously cracked me up with the faces she made and the way she moved around. She looked funny when she talked too! She was seriously freaking Chrona out. It was great stuff! XD

We return to the fight scene between Stein, Spirit and Medusa for a bit. But they don’t really fight, they just stand around chit-chatting. Medusa says something that provokes Spirit and he gets extremely angry.

That stupid B*TCH Medusa made Maka Papa cry! Not his normal funny crying, really serious crying! I wanted to kill her for that! Nobody messes with Maka Papa!! T.T

Soul is struggling to keep his and Maka’s souls from going to the dark side. Maka has almost completely succumbed to the black blood when we get to see her inside of her own soul, trying to regain some of her sanity.

Maka goes into what I’m assuming is supposed to be Chrona’s soul. Chrona is all chibified and cute. XD Chrona draws a circle and sits in the middle of it and begins a conversation with her own shadow. Her shadow asks her all kinds of questions, and her reply to each of them is “Pass” and the the shadow goes away leaving Chrona alone.

Maka watches Chrona for a while and when Chrona begins to cry Maka decides to go and talk to her…

In epic, chibified kiddy form! I almost died when I saw this, Maka is just toooooo cute! :D

She asks Chrona whats wrong and Chrona tells Maka some of her troubles. She says that she can’t leave the circle because it’s her special place. (Or something like that) and Maka promptly decides to destroy the circle that Chrona had drew. Chrona got upset and tried to stop her but Maka had already finished erasing it. Maka then basically tells Chrona that now she’s free to do and go where ever she wants.

After the chat with Chrona, Maka regains most of her sanity and has Soul come and try and pull her out of the darkness that she’s trapped in. He succeeds, much to tiny red demon guys dismay. We go back to the fight scene between Maka and Chrona. Chrona’s black blood is attacking her from the inside, due to Chrona’s confusion and trying to force the blood out. (I think) Maka has become herself again and begins calmly walking toward Chrona. She gets stabbed by one of the spikes of black blood but that doesn’t slow her down. It just freaks Soul out a bit! XD (Soul’s concern for Maka is so frickin’ cute!)

Chrona gains back some control of herself when Maka gives her a hug and tells her that every thing is ok now. Maka understands Chrona more than she did before because now they are both in similar situations. Maka is so sweet. >.<

Chrona starts to cry and then Maka extends her hand to Chrona and says “Let’s be friends”. It also shows the chibi version of Maka holding her hand out to Chrona! I almost died of the cuteness. Chrona takes Maka’s hand and then comes back from the dark side.

This episode was so sweet. We finally got to understand in a more in depth way why Chrona is the way she is. We got to see Maka accepting Chrona, and Chrona having some character growth. We also got to see a crazy twacked out hyper skitzo Maka! (Did I use enough adjectives?!)

And on a side note, when the episode went back to Blair for a brief moment, we got to see the rat witch transform into a total frickin knockout…

And then Blair and Rat Witch grope eachother…Comparing breast sizes! ROFL

I’m looking forward to next week’s episode, we finally get to see what’s going to happen with everyone else! Gah, I want to see some badass fight scenes…XD

I’m not entirely sure if I want to pick up blogging this series yet. I probably will. This was just a short preview to see if I was up to it! :P I’m pretty sure I’ll pick up episode reviews from now on. <3
