Maison Ikkoku.
Recently, after finishing everything available for Ranma ½, and half way there InuYasha, I decided to read some of Rumiko Takahashi's earlier work. At first I wished to view some Urusei Yatsura, but could only find later manga of the series, and I know from past experience with manga and anime you cant just jump in 6 books later (Fruits Basket is one example of where I did that, I had not a clue what was going on.) As I was about to give up and just buy something that sounded interesting by someone else I spotted one book with a familiar looking face on its spine. I lent in closer and was greeted by the one and only copy of Maison Ikkoku on the shelf, marked 'Book One' and the smiling face of what looked like a classic Rumiko Takahashi leading lady. I pulled the book from the shelf and was indeed greeted by the name Rumiko Takahashi. Smiling at myself for my discovery, I quickly scanned the contents and the appendix on the back as an after thought, I'd already decided to buy this book. I guess you could say this is a mini review as I only have volume one, but its one hell of a volume, thicker in content than any other manga I have purchased. Lets sum this up quickly. GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! The artwork is a little 'basic' compared to her newer stuff (a little like the first few volumes of Ranma 1/2) but it is a wonderful story and filled with classic Takahashi humour! I wont tell you any plot as its only just getting going, I’ll have more news when I have a few more volumes. A must have! 10/10! Current Mood:  bouncy | | Tuesday, May 10th, 2005 | | 11:48 am |
OMG!!! I'm alive!!!
Well, Ive been promising a long post for the last couple of weeks to a few people...so I better get one written. I hope you dont mind, but it will be the same useless dribble as normal, just more of it! Ok, first off comic related news. 'Project Sutra' is now under way, this is the super secret little tit bit I have been telling you about for a while, expect some teaser art to appear on the Pebble Version Forumss The project itself is the untold story off a brother and sister named Sutra and Emiel, I dont want to give to much away for non-ROM players so I wont say any more, but for those of you that do play ROM, you will know what this means! The project as of yet is still taking shape, I'm still undecided weather or not to make this sub plot for the main comic into a text story with illustrations, or make it a full blown sub comic. All I have so far is development images of Sutra and Emiel, as well as a few other cast. I will make links available to these images when I upload them in the next few weeks. All you have now is the name of chapter one (be that comic or story) Project Sutra: One Tap on the Keyboard I'm also working on some bios and artwork for the cast page. I did almost have the last series done but when I looked back over them, they where just...lame. Ok, enough about the comic. lets talk about me! I've finally got a copy of Kingdom hearts: Chain of Memories as its only just come out in the UK (stupid PAL thingy) So anyway, I'm more than a little disappointed in it. Dont get me wrong, the game is one of the prettiest Game Boy Advanced games out there, with 3D cut sequences and everything! The sound track is great and the sprites for the cast are cute...its just the game play that lets it down. I dont like the card system it forces you to use, and I dont like the fact that your expect to soufflé threw them and dodge the enemy at the same time. In my view, a wasted opportunity, but I gotta play threw it or i'll be lost when I get Kingdom hearts Two.... On another note, Ive been interested in some more of Rumiko Takahashi work recently. If you didn't know, Rumiko Takahashi is responsible for Ranma 1/2, the anime/ manga Ive been almost obsessed with for 2 months. The series Ive been reading and watching is one called Inu Yasha . Inu Yasha is very much like Ranma 1/2 in its art style and humour, even though if directly compared, Inu Yasha would have to be considered the 'darker' or the two. The manga and anime are full of demon slaying and tales of betrayal and death...but its clearly a Rumiko Takahashi creation as it has the same light hearted humour between the leading lad and lass that lead me to fall in love with Ranma 1/2. Some other recommend reading/ watching is another Rumiko Takahashi creation called Urusei Yatsura . The confusing story of a young male pervert engaged to an Oni princess from out of space! Its not as well written as Inu Yasha or Ranma 1/ in my opinion, but it still got all the humour and ridicules situations that make me love it as her other work! All hail Rumiko Takahashi! Ok, thats about it really. Except I'm band from E-bay till payday hay, where'd you think I get all my gaming and anime junk?

Officaly the most depressing day of the year
Well, apparently it is the most depressing day of the year. I dont know how they worked that one out, but so far I'm not to bad, I'm stuck in Wales for 2 weeks with family but other than that I still have access to the net and a game cube for company.. All in all i'm fine, but then again...theres still half a day left.. Later guys Current Mood:  okay | | Wednesday, January 19th, 2005 | | 11:06 am |

I cant do everthing...but i can do something
Theres not much justice in the world...theres not much love...but there is still love There is something everyone can do to make this world a little better... Even if its just giving to charity...then so be it...its something I can do..you can do...and it will make a difference.... My thought for today... 'Love thy Neighbour' 'Who is my neighbour' 'Every one is your Neighbour' 'What you do unto the poorest man you do unto god" You might not beleve in my god or my faith...but even so, love is something we should all beleve in... This comes from a story i'm writing..'Is Love enough to fight for' The answer...yes it is Thi Current Mood:  love | | Friday, January 14th, 2005 | | 1:22 pm |
Ive run out of run down.....
Now that the season of good will is over, it’s time for the season of sweet depression. A time for regret, remorse, and self-loathing. Time to reflect on all the shite you stuck down your throat, up your nose and in your partner’s orifices over Christmas, as you stare at your fat whisky-face in the mirror, and the haggard puffball staring back at you looks like a cross between Alec Ferguson and Dawn French. A time to shudder profoundly as you contemplate the long year of misery and gloom ahead of you, tired, weary and lost in your banal corporate rubber-desk-Johnny existence. No pay rise on the horizon, no job prospects. Your relationship’s flagging and your overdraft’s at an all-time high. And besides which, the whole fricking world’s falling apart at the seams with earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and Prince Harry wearing a nazi costume. And you think: why? Why do I bother? How can I carry on? Is it really worth it? Current Mood: Fat | | Thursday, January 13th, 2005 | | 11:55 am |
