That was the ending?!?

Oh man, I’m still disappointed and mad at the Inuyasha (Episode 167) ending. It was truly bad.

*SPOILERS If you haven’t seen Inuyasha Episode 167*

It didn’t resolve anything. Naraku still has the damn jewel shard. At the end of the show, they say they’ll follow Naraku til the ends of the earth. Kikyo is still alive (damn it! She needs to die already.. haha). Kohaku still is being controlled by Naraku. We did find out that Kagura likes Sesshomaru. That’s not a big deal really. Miroku still has the cursed wind tunnel in his hand.

I read in a anime magazine that Rumiko Takahashi is done with the Inuyasha series and is creating a new manga I believe. I know that the story in the manga does go beyond the story in the anime series. The Japanese manga ends at Volume 48. Right now, the American manga is up to Volume 27. So, I guess reading the manga might actually give me more to the story. I just don’t understand why the series would end in such a weak way. It’s like taking the easy way out.. or maybe it’s forcing us to buy the manga for more profit. I wish Cartoon Network would decide to create more episodes like they did with Big O. It would be nice if they made a movie that left off after the anime series.

Adult Swim is playing some of the re-runs now and they’ll be starting from the beginning next year. The fourth movie Fire on the Mystic Island will be playing on December 23, 2006 on Adult Swim. You should watch this movie. It’s great! There’s lots of action and the story is very interesting.

Anime Contest

I have a new anime contest up. It’s the Inuyasha Fire Battle Contest. The prize includes the Inuyasha Movie “Fire on the Mystic Island” DVD and the Inuyasha Ani-Manga Volume 12. The Inuyasha prize has been provided by the great store Kai Animation. Kai Animation has a great selection of anime, manga, art books, j-pop cds, figures, toys and more. The contest runs from today and ends on November 9, 2006 at 11:59 pm PST. You have to fill out a survey to enter. Go enter now. It is limited to the first 100 people. Good luck!

The end is near

I have been watching the new episodes of Inuyasha.

*SPOILERS if you haven’t seen up to Episode 163 of Inuyasha*

The new episodes have been a bit silly but it gives us an idea of what happens to different characters. They haven’t had much action in it and absolutely nothing with Naraku. I’m sure Naraku is plotting something good. He knows he has too many enemies coming after him soon.
I didn’t even think about what Rin would do. Jaken would, of course, be by Sesshomaru’s side until death. Rin still has a dislike of humans since her parents were killed by bandits. It’s ironic that Sesshomaru hates humans but he keeps Rin on his travels. It seems he actually has a fondness of her. He did save her twice already.
The latest episode #163, Kohaku, Sango and Kirara: The Secret Flower Garden, showed that Kohaku wants to reunite with Sango. It was mostly an episode showing memories of the two siblings and Kirara. Kohaku now wants to kill Naraku.
I’m not sure who will kill Naraku. I think it will be efforts of a couple people. Kagura seems to think Sesshomaru will be the one to slay Naraku. I think Inuyasha and his friends will have a big part in killing the coward Naraku.
The next episode looks like it’s going to be another silly episode where Shippo gets posessed and annoys Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango and Miroku. I wish they’d get to the action. I can’t wait to see Naraku finally die. I think Kikyo will probably die (I know she’s already dead) soon.

TV addict

I know I’m not normal. I spend way too much time watching tv. It’s usually cartoons or anime but I also enjoy great sci-fi, horror and comedy movies and shows. I also love cooking shows even though I can’t cook very well.

Apollo

*Spoilers of Battlestar Galactica ahead, if you haven’t been watching new season*

I’m so excited to have Battlestar Galactica back! It’s still awesome. I was exciting in the premiere to see Apollo… I was thinking to myself Ooh we get to see him with his shirt off. But, then it turns out he got fat. Then I was thinking Put that shirt back on! It’s horrible to see how bad the Cylons have been since they came to New Caprica. I was so glad to see that they avoided too many casualties from the list that were supposed to be executed. The creepy guy who took Starbuck.. he’s definately more than a stalker.. since he took her uterus to make a baby and then kidnapped her to “make” her love him. What a freak!
It’s definately going to be a little while until they get all the survivors from New Caprica back onto Galactica. I’m just exciting to know that there’s hope. I have hope that Apollo will work out more to get those extra pounds off too. Heh.

*Spoilers of Inuyasha if you haven’t watched episode 159*

Ahh, Inuyasha. I’ve been watching the re-runs to refresh my memory and figure out the whole mystery with Naraku. I was mistaken earlier when I posted that Naraku’s heart could be inside Hakodoshi. It’s actually inside his other half, the scary baby that Naraku so badly wanted to protect. It’s kewl to see the Adamant Barrage. It looks like Inuyasha is going to use it to make some money in the new episode #160, airing this Monday night. There’s only 8 more episodes remaining. I’m exciting to find out what happens. I can’t wait until Naraku dies. I don’t know what will become of Kohaku. Will he still be alive after Naraku dies and then the shard is gone?
What will Kagura do once she’s free do what she pleases? I’m so glad the new episodes are coming already.

New Premieres I’m looking forward to:
Inyuasha – October 16
Aqua Teen Hunger Force – October 29
Family Guy (Premiere on Adult Swim) – October 29
Moral Orel – November 12
The Lost Room – December
Pee-wee’s Christmas Special – December 11

Red pat-pat

I used to never have allergies. But, it seems that I sneeze a lot more. I think that we have been getting more winds in the past couple years. I was at work last week and my nose itched so much. I scratched it so hard… it made my nose turned red. I felt like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. It was horrible for a little while.. but it didn’t last too long.

My first thoughts on Shin-Chan. Boy, that’s a weird cartoon. It was funny. I don’t understand though.. how come the kids faces are shaped round and lopsided while most of the adults faces are pointy? I’m not sure why he likes to show his pat-pat (butt). It’s definately silly though.

The Smashing Pumpkins have reunited. They’re currently in the studio making a new album. What great news! I hope that they make some great music. I don’t know what happened when Billy Corgan was in Zwan. I don’t understand how somebody so talented could make such crap. I don’t listen to the radio that much. I can’t really get into most new music. I found a great radio station called Area 108. The station plays alternative music. You can listen online too.

Kevin Federline is going to appear on an episode of CSI. UGh!  I seriously don’t know why but he thinks he’s something special.  I don’t know if the world will ever embrace his music.  I’m sure it’s mostly because his wife is Britney Spears.. but really it’s because he’s talentless and he can’t sing.  He just got lucky marrying a rich bitch pop star.

Evil Naraku

I forgot to talk about the latest episode of Inuyasha. It played on August 1, 2006. Sadly, we won’t be getting any more new episodes for awhile… I heard somewhere online that new episodes won’t air until Fall 2006.

*SPOILERS of Inuyasha if you don’t watch it reguarly on Adult Swim*

The moment where Naraku is defeated.. but really isn’t. I thought Wow they FINALLY beat him! But, it seemed very anti-climatic since it was a bit too easy to kill him. Then we find out that somehow he survived since Hakadoshi was in a barrier. I think that’s why…? Of course, Naraku always thinks ahead… evil bastard. He is such a coward in my mind. I think that they do have to find Naraku’s heart in order to defeat him. Maybe it’s in Hakadoshi?… I’m not positive on anything. I’m sad that it will be all coming to an end shortly.. but I’d love to see Naraku ACTUALLY be defeated and gone. I would love to find out about all of the group… What happens to Kagome.. does she go back to her modern times? Maybe she ends up dating Hojo. What will Inuyasha do now? Will Sango and Miroku get married or will Miroku be a pimp the rest of his life? What happens with Shippo.. will he become the next Pimp Daddy like Miroku? hehe. I’ll have to wait to find out. I’d love to know what Rumiko is doing now.. if her next project will be good.

I have been collecting Inuyasha TCG cards. The game is very easy to learn and it’s lots of fun. I’d love to know if there’s any other Las Vegas players in town. That would be great. My boyfriend and I play sometimes. We are planning to go to the Anime Vegas this year. It’s at the Cashman Field. We’ve been meaning to go to that and the Anime Expo but still haven’t made either one. I already have the days off so I’m going for sure. I wish I had more time to put together a kewl cosplay outfit. Maybe next year!

Updates

So, I’m back from a long absence. Sorry about that! I haven’t really been on as much I’d like to be. Work has been driving me crazy… but I’m still surviving.

*SPOILERS of Inuyasha if you haven’t been watching regularly*

I’ve been enjoying watch Inuyasha. I am sad that I’ll probably be seeing the ending of the series.. but I’m sure that won’t be until the end of the year or so. It’s funny how the title of the episode for this week was Final Battle at the Graveside! Sesshomaru Versus Inuyasha. But, Sesshomaru only smacks Inuyasha.. that was no battle.. come on! Naraku is still a loser.. I can’t wait until they defeat him. I don’t know who or whom will defeat him. Kagura seems to think it will be Sesshomaru. I think it may be a combination of people… since so many people want to see him dead. I guess I’ll have to wait to see! I still can’t believe Kikyo is back again. She’s just annoying. I know she has some kind of purpose being alive (well sort of).

I recently saw most of Hellsing again. Starz Action has Animidnight.. where they play anime movies and series Monday through Friday at midnight. If you haven’t seen Hellsing.. you should definately check it out. Alucard is just too cool. I love vampires and this series has some great fighting scenes. I’m not sure how it ended up being such a short series… it’s seriously that good! I haven’t been keeping up with buying the manga. I actually haven’t bought a manga in a long time.

Star Wars news… I saw on Dark Horizons that we can expect the animation series to come out in 2008 and the live action series not until 2010. Ooh pretty kewl! 😉

Love, sex and funny dates

I have been bad. I haven’t been on the internet much at all. I did want to talk about what has been happening on anime, Battlestar Galactica and #1 Single. I’m sick at home from work so this is a perfect time! hehe

* Spoilers if you haven’t watched the latest in Inuyasha, Inuyasha movie #2 The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass, Full Metal Alchemist, Battlestar Galactica and #1 Single – you have been warned! *

Dog Gone!

Feb. 7th Inuyasha episode #132 – Ahhh, finally Miroku confesses his love for Sango! Like everybody didn’t know he had such strong feelings for her!… Well, of course Inuyasha probably didn’t know, but he’s so naive when it comes to love matters. I don’t know why it’s so slow with the love situations in this anime. I mean seriously why hasn’t Inuyasha and Kagome kissed yet in the series. Yes, of course if you watch movie #2 The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass, you’ll see a nice kiss between Inuyasha and Kagome..Finally! I know Rumiko is known for her love triangles.. but, I think we deserve a kiss every now and then in the series! Ok, I digress. It was nice to see Miroku about to risk his life for the lovely Sango at Mount Hakurei. Now, we know he loves her and actually wants to marry her and have kids! He definately is stupid though… for not saying he’ll forget about all the other girls. You know it won’t be easy for him to give up his pimp ways!

Feb. 14th Inuyasha episode #133 – Wow, I never knew somebody could love Sesshomaru! And she’s a cutie too. Of course, when Sara said that she met him long ago… he coldly says I don’t know you. How rude is that! He probably doesn’t remember that battle from back in the day. But, for Sara it only took one look at Sesshomaru to make her fall in love with him. I’m still lost with how she isn’t really a demon but is…? I’m sure we’ll find out more next week. Again, we see Inuyasha being too stupid to realize the trap. Of course, he actually didn’t want to help out anybody this episode. I think he’s being moody lately hehe. I know Shippo already realized about Sango and Miroku being frozen possibly by Sara but didn’t voice it until Inuyasha was helping out with the stone. I swear they’re kind of stupid sometimes heh.

Show me the Light

Feb. 4th Full Metal Alchemist episode #45 – It’s crazy to find out that Ed & Al’s Dad is a hommunculi human with a new body. Hohenheim of Light is over 400 years old. I thought that he was a hommunculi, but he actually used the stone to transfer his soul to a new body.   The body he uses starts to rot and his soul must be transferred to a new body.  The hommunculi is actually created from raw materials and has no soul.

Feb. 11th Full Metal episode #46 – I’m glad they found the stone.. but of course, it’s still crazy to know that it’s inside Alphonse. Al doesn’t think and always goes off on his own. I might do the same thing to find out more about using the stone. But, I don’t know I would get Tucker’s help. He’s always been a bit off and he’s totally obsessed with bringing back Nina. He’s the one who killed her but now he has to bring her back to life. What a freak! I don’t know why part of his armor has disappeared after doing a human transmutation. I guess it could be because the stone’s power was used. You know Ed is going to be pissed when he finds out next week!

Scarred

Feb. 3rd Battlestar Galactica episode #30 – This episode is all about trying to kill the Cylon Raider Scar. Starbuck is totally bent on killing him before that other girl. Anyway, she almost sleeps with Apollo. I just read this on tv.com

“According to his podcast Moore did not like the the original act break of Starbuck leaving Apollo’s place. So in the rewrite he wanted na act break to show how Kara has become obssessed with Scar because of her messed up life. In his note his only example was the image of Starbuck naked with a revolver.This led to the scene of Kara watching the video while drinking.”

Wow, I wouldn’t give up a chance to sleep with the lovely Apollo. I guess she was too stressed out though about Scar. I would forget about all my worries to sleep with a hottie like that! They’ve had so much sexual tension… they should have done it! She had one of the Adama brothers.. now she should have the hot brother!! Oh well…

Feb. 10th Battlestar Galactica episode #31 – This was an alright episode. It was definately messed up when Billy proposes to Dualla and she turns him down. Poor Billy! Dualla still has the hots for Lee (Apollo).. I mean who wouldn’t!? Dualla and Lee are at a bar on Cloud Nine. Billy sees them there and gets mad. Then the terrorists are holding them all hostage. Poor Lee gets shot..(how many lives does he have?!) and then Billy tries to prove something..steals a gun and tries to shoot somebody. But, he ends up getting shot and then dying. Dualla already told him he doesn’t have to prove he’s a hero either.

Singled Out

#1 Single is a great show about Lisa Loeb’s life.. trying to find a great man. I’ve always loved Lisa Loeb.. she’s beautiful.. she can sing and write her own music..what a combo! You definately have to check out the first episode… a guy sings a lovely song to her.. it’s the funniest thing! Lisa doesn’t seem to have luck with guys. Allen from episode #2 was a jerk.. the whole thing with the newspaper getting a quote from him… that was wrong!! He was ugly anyway… time for more dates! 🙂

Feb. 5th #1 Single episode #3 – Lisa’s set up on a blind date with a younger man named Dan. Dan is a hottie but he definately needs a new hairdo… seriously, who has hair that long on the side.. or are those sideburns?.. either way EWWW, get rid of that hair! It was funny how she kept asking her friends for advice and reading the relationship books and then going on a date with Dan. I STILL can’t believe she let him pay for her $300 stuff at the store hahaha…..that’s crazy! At least she did give him the money back on the third date. I think Lisa should have gone out on more dates with Dan. They seriously didn’t get to know each other AT all. But, he did talk her out of the pink bin. I would not compromise my personal color style for a guy hehehe.

Feb. 12th #1 Single episode #4 – Illeana Douglas is a kewl friend of Lisa’s. She lets her borrow a dog (from one of the guys from Queer Eye) to go to a dog party where you meet other dog owners. Only in New York! Lisa meets a hot guy named David. David seems like a jerk though.. he doesn’t even try to get her number when she was clearly interested. They end up going to the zoo for a date. David is a prick and keeps getting calls.. he says that he’s like a relationship expert like Dear Abby… give me a break! He’s probably getting multiple calls from chics or some business stuff. He totally disses Lisa and says he has to go… he kinda seems sorry.. not really.. and doesn’t give an excuse at ALL. What an ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still can’t get over the fact that he sends her a bunch of roses and says he had fun and he wants to go out again…. WHATEVER!!! He definately needs to get a clue. He probably didn’t want to seem like a jerk on tv.. hahahaha. She later goes on a date with fancy schmancy guy Cody. He’s too proper and snobby..he even stopped her from eating more dessert.. oh noo!!

That was the ending?

I watched the ending of S-CRY-ED and was disappointed. I did enjoy the series but the ending was definately lacking.

*SPOILERS (if you didn’t watch the ending of S-CRY-ED) *

I would have loved to see who actually won the fight between the two alter users. I’m not sure who would have won. I think Kazuma might have won since he’s so stubborn.. but you never know. Oh well. I just wish the ending was better. That was probably one of the worst endings in an anime.. that I’ve seen anyway.
I can’t wait for more Inuyasha… We’re getting new episodes in January! I’m so happy! They’re also playing the two Inuyasha movies on Adult Swim on Christmas Eve at 1:30 am (which is actually on Christmas.. since it’s after midnight).

I’m getting my stitches out on Thursday. It doesn’t look too bad… It itches and aches sometimes, so I’m glad to get them out. I would itch around the stitches area, hoping the itch would go away.

I just realized I haven’t posted my Hottie of the Month. This time it will be a lovely man.. I’ll post it soon. Gotta think of a good one! 😉 Hope everybody has a great Christmas!

Mole revisited

I went to the Cancer Center today to find out about my ex-mole hehe. They said I should have came to their office first and then I would’ve the surgery on the first visit. I guess I shouldn’t have gotten it burnt off. But, no biggie.. I just have to wait 3 weeks for the actual surgery. I need approval from my insurance first. I will be getting it taken out (I say chopped off but that does sound harsh hehe).. and I’ll be getting stitches. The PA said I will get a scar probably an inch or so long. I’m a little scared about the stitches since I’ve never had any before. I’m sure it will hurt a little… At least the surgery is only about 30 minutes or so long.

*Spoilers ahead if you haven’t been watching Inuyasha regularly*

Inuyasha was good this past weekend. Did it really take Kagome THIS long to realize that she’s in love with Inuyasha… oh, COME on! She should have figured that out a long time ago. Inuyasha is pretty naive when it comes to love matters. It’s pretty funny. Anyway, the baby that came from Naraku is really scary and ugly. I’m sure we’ll see him more. I was looking forward to seeing Naraku again. Unfortunately, we won’t be getting new epsidoes of Inuyasha until next year. Hopefully, we’ll be able to see the end of the series in 2006. I’m happy that we’ll be getting new episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Samural Champloo. It’s always great to have a few anime series with new episodes at the same time. I wish the tachikomas would come back. I want one so bad! They’re so cute and kewl.

I’ll be posting the Hottie of the Month soon. It will be a lovely woman this time. I almost forgot.. but I’ll post it very soon. 🙂
