Mourning Soul Eater - Part 1

If it isn't clear that I love Soul Eater then i don't know what is wrong with you ..hahaa. Today, I'm going to watch the finale and I have high expectations I mean it's SOUL EATER!!!!! But I'm kind of scared that I'll be disappointed but i'm PRAYING that it is fantastic. I haven't read anyones blog on the subject and i decided not to watch the RAW so i can understand 100% as opposed to 50% (YATTAAAA my understanding of Japanese is increasing!!!). Anyways, that aside I thought I'd blog about what is to become one of my favourite animes. I thought this was a really childish anime when I first started watching but I guess i am a BIG KID still as i continued watching and watched the greatness of this story unfold. OK OK enough Soul Eater ass kissing.....I'll be back *SOBS* too say Sayonara to one of the most awesome anime I watched in a while!!!!!!

Casshern Sins - Sayonara

I thought this photo was cool even though it isn't an anime snap of Casshern BUT hey that's the kind of person i am (ZOMG i sound like Sid from Soul Eater----yikes)!!! So, I finally completed Casshern Sins and I must admit i really enjoyed this anime in the end. At times I was like this thing is dragging but i must admit the slow pace at times kind of intensifies the atmosphere of despair and death lingering on the horizon so maybe it was perfectly paced!?!! I did a post on this one before----it's in the archive but that was done when i watched 12 episodes----now this is my opinion after i've fully digested the CAKE that is Casshern Sins!!!

I won't say to much about the overall story as it will spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. So, what I will say is that if you like science fiction type stories, action and a story that will leave you pondering over things like the value and meaning of life you'll like this anime. What I'm trying to say is that Casshern Sins leaves a lasting impression and shows the devastation that can be caused when people try to control life and death. If it hasn't come across---what I'm saying is WATCH THE BEAUTY THAT IS CASSHERN SINS.

Kill Aizen: OFF WITH THIS HEAD

Another Bleach post!!!! Yes that's exactly right---i just watched episode 212 and i knew i hated Aizen kisamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa for a reason. I hope you're feeling the hatred that is building up inside for Aizen....hehehe i know it's FICTION!!! But i loves Bleach and most of all if not especially most of ALL i love URAHARA. Now i discover the reason why he lost his Captain status and why he is in the human world is all thanks to this evil loathsome AIZEN (sorry about the spoiler if you're BLEACH newbie) . Hands up ----he is a great VILLAIN but i cannot wait for his demise. I don't read the Manga much but I've read at least 50 chapters of this one and i reckon that's just because Bleach totally ROCKS :) I'm loving the whole RESCUE INOUE saga and the whole TURNING BACK THE CLOCK. So Vizards go and handle your business and i hope you get you're REVENGE especially Hiyori & Shinji . If I'm married to Urahara well then...hmmmm....Shinji is the bit on the side!!! Gotta have your extras --LoL.



SouL Eater - End is Nigh!!!!!

I am one step closer to kissing Soul Eater goodbye....i'm preparing myself for the long departure!!!! An unwanted end BUT i guess all good things must come to an end ---it's the natural order of things :(

Today i watched the penultimate episode that's right the next episode marks the FINALE and boy oh boy i really am going to miss this anime. If you're one of the lucky people that hasn't yet watched this anime and are about to experience it for the first time (am JEALOUS!!!!). I hope you're beginning to see that i think this is absolutely AWESOME.

I did do a longer post on this anime already BUT this is just a brief little post to show all of you dedicated Soul Eater fans that i'm truly going to miss this one. Here's to you (the opening songs for this anime, which were removed!!!!).

Opening Song 1 - T M Revolution: Resonance

Shinigami likes Apples ----Rules of Death Note

What follows are the rules on how to use the Death Note!!!!


1. The human whose name is written in this note shall die.

2.This note will not take effect unless the writer has the persons face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

3.If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the persons name, it will happen.

4.If the cause of death is not specified the person will simply die of a heart attack.

5.After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

6.This note shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground on (arrival in) the human world.



7.The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, i.e. a god of death.


8. The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven nor Hell.

9.If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds after writing the cause of death will be a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 seconds after writing the name.


10.The human who touches the DEATH NOTE can recognise the image and voice of its original owner, a god of death, even if the human is not the owner of the note.

11.The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is reasonably assumed to be carried out by that human.

12.The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the gods of death, either. So, you must examine and find out.


13. One page taken from the DEATH NOTE, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects of the note.

14. The instrument to write with can be anything, (e.g. cosmetics, blood, etc) as long as it can write directly onto the note and remains as legible letters.

15.Even the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, gods of death, do not know much about the note.
