the nightmare inspector , volume one [my take on things] manga review 4

In this series , a young man who is known among the small town he lives in as " the nightmare inspector" has his first few cases .. and they are WEIRD!! He and his .. well " girlfriend type character " stay in a hotel / tea house , and make it the headquarters for the business. Now the plot is this: the main character , is actually a demon who [ somehow ] "literally" EATS peoples nightmares and helps them with the problems in them. In this one , he deals with a narcissistic man who loves himself so much , he sees a beautiful women in their reflection , and falls in love with her , [eww] , a suicidal girl who foretells the future with her blood.and a young woman who's dreams, foretell doom , by having her limbs and body parts missing in the process.[whoa..kinda creepy] it's a pretty freaky book but the story lines are so interesting , that it stops you from ever putting down the book!!...EVER , it will make you want to go out and get the next volume right away[ volumes one through 6 out now]. The art is phenomenal , it reminds you of the art from series like "spiral " and " D.N angel". Plus the storytelling is great , each chapter or case starts with a title "the 3'rd night " or "the 9'th night " and so on. In the end i thought it made a great mystery story and manga. Ever since i have started reading it , i have become a major fan , 5 stars out of 5 " way intense"

MY IKICON DRESSING UP DESCISION!!

shaman king- volume 10 -[ my take on things] manga review 3

So for this manga series i am personally a fan of , plus it is a bestseller in my manga library"shaman king" the story of a young shaman , fighting his way to the top of the corrupted shaman world. [ not really , but i don't want to give anything away .. that means you people who are reading and have yet to actually start this series!! don't look at this!! read from the start!!]ANYWAY!! , in this volume , yoh , and the gang have crash landed in the American southwest to locate the patch village and participate in the next round of the shaman fight , but run into a local Indian woman who tells them some unfortunate information.. and it is that of this subject.. THE PATCH IS EVIL!! . and so the boys start going all " omg!!" , that sparks a fight [ kind of] .later , they are shocked with a strange fact about the mysterious , and powerful shaman fight participant " hao".. and it will make you DROP THE BOOK .[ I'm not kidding.. i have the page rip to prove it]sooo , as the boys travel on, dazed and confused , they meet an English shaman[ looks like a chick.. and is a dude.. ewww] and start a fight of unspeakable proportions [ 15 pages long]. At the end it was a book that surprised you left and right , page after page , and blew you away every action scene.. it will melt your face!! - 5 stars!! exceptional manga!![ cover art courtesy of Google images.]

protest the hero - fortress-[ my take on things] album review 2

[ first of all , if there are words or titles in parenthesis , those are song names from the album.. so ya.. read on.. ]This band out of Ontario , Canada , has just churned out their second album. They put out an album earlier in their career , " kieza" that was a concept album. [i can't recall what about] yet in this one , a plot really isn't present.. pretty much aside from a few lyrics like "Genghis khan is upon us , he slays his betrayers" [ bloodmeat]and others mentioning old time-ey , war references and ..... somehow about , goddess worshiping . [ basically the word blood, can be heard at least 3 times every 5 songs or so, is the point ] .. [ even if you could understand what in the world they are actually saying.. they scream quite a bit.] And do violent words and tasty guitar riffs , like they do, make a good album? ... YES!! as a matter a fact the way the cover art is put together.. you know that you are about to purchase an EPIC album!! [ album cover to the right , courtesy of Google images... awesome right?.. i thought so.] The sometimes IMPOSSIBLY high sounding voice of their lead singer, his low screams, crashing drum solos, bass and guitar breakdowns ,[bone marrow- palms read] can make you think.. wow.. could this be any better? well no!! because that's as good as it gets .. because all of that , in fact - equals - a memorable thrashing experience!! [ and if you got confused with that sentence .. it was a POSITIVE thing .. ya know .. in case protest the hero or their fans are reading . I am one , just by the way.] and with music like this , i have to give this one 4 1/2 stars .. because they SHRED!!!!

Why i'm mad at the fullmetal alchemist anime [ but not at the manga]

So on Monday or Tuesday of this week [ the 12'th or 13'th of January 2009 .. wow.. why did i have to explain that?] i was reminded by a friend about how the awesome , goodhearted , BEASTLY manga series " fullmetal alchemist" was basically cheated as the anime television show ... why , you ask? well it's because they basically [ they: viz media] only made the show up to about volume 10 of the manga , and then just made a movie to end the whole thing.. while the actual manga series itself was originally like tens of twenties of volumes [ COUGH , COUGH-STILL COMING OUT TOO!!] and that makes me mad.. that is all for my geeky ranting for today.. thank you and peace out! =-] [ and OF COURSE this pic was courtesy of Google images...]
