But enough about that now, what brings me to this post is something that I have been pondering for a long time. Today I took sometime out of my day and got a chance to read some manga’s and watch some anime since it must have been a month since I last got a chance to. As I was watching through random episodes, I found myself come across One Piece and as I was watching I started thinking to myself. Just random things at first but then I found myself thinking more and more into it. What I was wondering was, in anime/manga, which character is the most memorable one? Like who really pulls out those defining moments in the series that makes you look at him and go “wow”. Now, I know most people when thing like this our ask, names like Sasuke and Naruto, Spike(Cowboy Bebop), or even Kenshin (Samurai X) are the first to come to mind in most cases but I wanted to dive a little deeper and look to see what else I could find. After thinking for a couple of minutes I came to the conclusion that my choice would be Luffy(One Piece). Now I know that is an odd choice because lets face it, Luffy certainly isn’t the brightest character in anime but I have seen and read all of One Piece to date and every time there was something big going on Luffy pulled it off with such grace and emotion that you can’t help but be drawn in by what he says. I mean examples of this are clearly shown in the recent events at the war in Enies Lobby. His speech to Robin has to be one of thee greatest moments in anime I have seen. But not only that, when Nami was finally crushed by Arlong, what Luffy does and says you can help but feel good.

This brings me to the point of this post. If you are reading this please answer because I would really like to hear everyone’s opinion on this for my interest and too see if maybe I either skipped over someone or am being one dimensional.

1. Who do you think is the most memorable character in anime/manga?
2. What do you think is the most memorable moment in anime/manga?

I’ll post my answers to this in my comment section, but I look forward to what people have to say about this.

Till next time

First up, Christmas. For my grandpa just passing away, it was actually one of the best Christmas’ the family has had in years. The highlight of that day had to be when I got my PSP from my parents. To be honest, I didn’t think they would get it for just because of the huge cost of it. So that was a delightful surprise that left me speechless but I think brother and I gave our mom the biggest surprise when she opened up her gift and found a picture of us with Santa, something that we haven’t had done in years. So she was quite happy with that and I am pretty sure my Dad was pleased with his bottle of booze and Pink Floyd DVD (tried to recreate his younger days when he would do drugs and go to concerts by bands like Pink Floyd). So all in all, Christmas was a good day.

Boxing Day was another eventful day to say the least. How much I spent that day is irrelevant but let’s just say I was a little spending whore. Two things that I was proud that bought that were the Sin City: Recut and Extended and the Neon Genesis Evangelion box set. Other then that, G-unit saved my ass from getting destroyed by fixing my family computer. That sums up that day because I really didn’t much after that. I was just way too tired to do anything else.

Now coming to the end of the year, I look upon New Years. Before anything started or people headed over to Ty’s house, Ty and I took a trip over to Sherway put my “Thin Blood” theory to the test and pick up some more supplies for the night (which eventually became known as “The Wall”). So around 5ish, the first beer was opened and Mike, Ty, and I started drinking. Everything was pretty calm until people started getting impatient waiting for Noah to come so we could play poker, except when Noah finally got here, there was the problem with a lack of chair. Thanks to Mike’s quick thinking and assistance from Ty, chair were found although, I really don’t know how or where they got them but they got the chairs none-the-less. So just as poker finally started, pizza came which resulted in the game being delayed even further. So the plan was to start the game around 8:30 and well by the time we actually started the game, it was almost 10:00. At 10:05, I was eliminated from the game but honestly really didn’t give a damn because I met someone else to hang with. It was kind of embarrassing though because she would ask if I remembered her name and for the life of me I couldn’t remember her name. Sure I can remember it now but that doesn’t help me at all now since I forgot to ask for an email or number. (I know I fucked up royal) Well then came the New Years which I must say I am off to a much better start then last year. So everything was going good for everyone. People were still playing poker, I was outside with some people smoking a cigar and then, the inevitable happened. Matt, Ty’s friend, threw up all over the poker table and caused the game to come to a screeching halt and end to the game. Once that happened, everyone’s buzz was just killed for the night. After that, everyone was sure Matt was dead but his faint giggles proved us otherwise. After all that and everyone pretty much left Ty, Alyce, and I went for a walk. When we got back Maritn had just disappeared and apparently it took him an hour to way around Ty’s block. The cause of this was every five steps he needed to sway in the wind. (weird yes?) Well if you didn’t find that weird, maybe his obsession for cheese or Meghan’s Moms cookies was. The highlight of the night had to be what we did to Ryan. It is true, it really was Ryan’s Day as we ended up drawing a big penis on his cheek and then made him a nice pink thong with shaving gel. Either way, I’d say New Years was pretty good time and we should do it again sometime.

Now to the Friday that just passed. This was an interesting time to say the least. First, Ty and I traveled to Mac which took an hour and half at least to get there, no thanks to the bus driver. (Ty, I think u were right. He was retarded) Once we got to Mac, the duffle man was welcomed with open arms and it was a non-stop party as we proceed to drink at 6:30. There really was... ]]> ~balmung http://balmung.deviantart.com/journal/5169364/ http://balmung.deviantart.com/journal/5169364/ Sat, 23 Apr 2005 16:58:01 PDT
Noir: A real beauty of an anime. This series focuses more on a story line then non-stop flashy guns fights, althought the gun fights are pretty crazy anyways. I thought that it was a real surprise on how this story molded together. An impressive and suspenseful storyline that is certainly worht a look at.

.hack//sign: I guess it is not much of a secret that I am a huge fan of .hack, so I was expecting alot from this series seeing how it was a prequel to the video games, and boy did it deliver. I couldn't tear myself away from it. This is one of the series I hope to own by the end of the summer. Once agian, it is worth alook at but I suggest that if you do take a look at it, watch abit more then 1 or 2 episodes cause it sets up the whole story in the first couple and may take awhile to get into.

Gundam Seed: This series was really disappointing to me. I felt alittle robbed after watching this series because there was nothing new or exciting about it. It had all been done before in Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Wing. The only reason why I continued to watch the series though was because the fight seen were pretty impressive so wanted to see if they would evolve or not. They kindof did but not really. Anyways, I could say more about it but I won't. I just leave it at dissappointing.

Turn A Gundam: This was really surprising. It isn't your typical Gundam series, infact it is very very interesting how everything goes in it. This is the first Gundam to have a original story that wasn't somewhat stolen for the first Gundam series. I say if you are looking for thing to watch, give this ashot. I say you maybe alittle surprised on how solid this anime is.

Gundam X: Possibly one the best Gundam's I have seen to date. It revolves around the theory of the "Newtypes" and as the story progresses, more and more is revealed about "Newtypes". This was simply stunning this anime and I was really really pleased with the whole deal. This is another anime that I want to purchase at some point.

Mobile Suit Gundam: I am ashamed to say that iit is only now that I have seen the first Gundam series anime. I am shamed and desserved to be beatin. All I'll say is that if you are a Gundam fan and still haven't seen the original, your not a Gundam fan.

Bleach: This series isn't lisenced yet but trust me, it will be very soon. Very Very soon. Another stunning anime that should be seen by everyone. I can' say much about it cause the series is still on going but right now, it is a must see.

Shaman King: You'd be surprised on how good this anime, as long as you don't watch it in english. I am sorry but this anime has been rape in the ass hard. It is really sad because it is such a good anime when it isn't in english. I really do want to buy this series but it won't be worth it because the english version is just horrible and it is sad to see. I want to do a rant about 4kids but not right now. Still, if you can see it in Japanese, do yourself a favor and see it.

Full Metal Alchemist: My God this anime was something else. I don't know what else I can say about it. It was just a work of art. It is probably one of the best animes of all time and I would say it is even better then Cowboy Bebop (another amazing series). I would buy this series in a split second if it wasn't so pricey. If see any anime at all, it should be this one. Plus there is a movie being released to complete the series this summer. ^_^

Well that is all for the anime and such. I could actually provide a better description and whatnot but that would take a lot of time.

On a side note, it seems I have a subscrpition to DA for a week. Interesting. And I hope to start commenting and viewing your stuff soon.

Till next time Later

Anyways, another big problem with this month is the coming mid-terms.-_- God how I dispise them. This semesters mid-terms are not gonna be a piece of cake like last time either. Right now the only class that I am not after of is my Wired Writing class. I am doing great in that class so no worries, but as for everything else, I am pretty sure I am fucked. It bad enough that I can't understand wat my teacher says in one of my class but everything just seems to be made very complex. Maybe I am making abig deal out of this shot for nothing but who knows. Another thing that is bugging me at school happens to the teacher I don't understand. She is determined to start a war with me and all I can say is bring it on. I'll be ready. So far she has called me a "lair" and a "moron" yet I am one of the top students in her class. I dunno why she would want to start a war with me, but if she starts something, I swear that I'll be the one to finish it.

Anyways, that ends my relative useless rant but what can you do.

Well till next time,
Later

Anyways, now to get to the point of this. After this conversation, I thought i would be an interesting topic. So to anyone who reads this journal, I ask you this question: What song out there can you relate your life to? Just simple question that can have a simple answer.

Well that is all for now,

Now on to my main point. As pretty much everyone knows, the apparent game of the year was released last week. That's right, I am talking about Halo 2 for Xbox. Now I personally, I don't like to come on and complain, bitch, yell, rant, or just bad mouth games, because it is a waste of my time and yours. Unfortunately, the immature students at my school have pushed me to this. Halo 2 IS NOT the game of the year. That is right, Halo 2 is nothing. I have now had the disappointing pleasure of playing Halo 2. It has been only 3 days and in 12 hours, I beat the game. Pretty sad, seeing how I don't even own the game and I beat it already. Even multiplayer isn't that great unless it is on Xbox live. Anyways, to top off the extremely short game play, epscially after all the hype, the story was just plan bad and lame. And to top it off, the ending was just there. How the game got such rave reviews, is still a mystery to me but if your rating it on the Xbox Live bit, then it is understandable. To me, at best the game is an 7.5 - 8 out of 10. Oh well, what can you do.

Why am I writing about this you ask? Well like I said, the immature students at my school pushed me to. For the past 10 days, all I have heard is "Halo 2 is the best game ever" or "Halo 2 is shit". I have had enough of this shit cause when ever they ask me what I think and I expressed what I feel, my head gets ripped off. So here I go again, HALO 2 IS NOT THE GOOD, INFACT, IT IS JUST AVERAGE!

So now your wondering what game do I think will be the game of the year. Well, here I'll tell you. Now remember, this is my opinion and I am going out on a limb here, seeing how I haven't played the game yet, but I feel that METAL GEAR SOLID 3 will be the biggest game of the year. But I will see when I play it myself. While on I am on this rant I might as well mention, that Ratchet and Clank as well as Jak 3 are just plain bad games. I have played these games too and just lost interest in the games.

Well I have said my piece, now feel free to comment or state your opinion. I won't mind but I may disagree. But Hey, it is a free country.

Well, I have said my piece, so Later.

Yes yes, the one and only Balmung is finally back to D.A. after a long lay-off full bumps and twists. Anyways, I am now back and catching up on everything outstanding, mostly commenting. So since i have soo much commenting to do, and I have limited time everyday, have to modify my commenting somewhat. So here is how it goes:

Commenting:
-All work that is in my message board will be viewed in the next week or so, sometimes even twice.
-Not all work will be commented on, because i have multiple post from some people and it would take to long and i do not want to lose and old post i have not seen yet.
-If there is not a comment on the devation, check your main page. I will post comments on there as a general thing to save some time. But you have my word, I will view it.
-If you do not receive a comment within this week, do not panic, one will becoming soon.

Well that is the general thing I am goin on. I can not wait to see what is in store for me.

Anyways, there is more to come but I have to work it in around school and stuff but i will be on D.A. alot more now.

So till, I see your work.

Later,

Top 10 anime series

10. Kenshin (OVA'S)
9. Gundam Wing
8. Mobile Suit Gundam: War in the Pocket
7. Escaflowne
6. Trigun
5. Boogie-Pop Phantom
4. Evangelion
3. Witch Hunter Robin
2. Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th Mobile Suit Team
1. Cowboy Bebop

I guess it shouldn't be such a surprise that Cowboy Bebop was number I mean this series was just beyond belief. It was simply amazing. One major surprise was the third place finish of Witch Hunter Robin. I know that I haven't finished it yet but up until now this series has delivered more than expected and just keeps getting more and more interesting as the episodes progress. As for teh second place finisher, Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th Mobile Suit Team. You cannot call yourself a mecha fan unless you have seen this series. Although it is only 13 episodes in total, it is almost just as good as Bebop. Everything in the series in just flawless from beginning to end. I consider it a must see.


Top 6 Anime Movies

6. Metropolis
5. Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack
4. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
3. Cowboy Bebop: Knockin On Heavens Door
2. Grave of the Fireflies
1. Perfect Blue

For those of you who are not familiar with Perfect Blue, it is the Best Thriller in anime history, in my opinion. It keeps you in suspense the whole time and you will never figure it out until the end. If you have seen it, then you know what I mean. As for Grave of the Fireflies, it has been a long time since I saw it but from what I remember, it was a very tradgic tale and was really really good. Then there is good old Bebop. Yes the whole crew is back in this full length feature. It is actually a very well developed story line and everything but there was one major flaw in it. It's flaw was that there was no Vicious. I kinda was hoping to see him in it but he wasn't. But at least Vincient was a cool enemy so it was too disappionting. A big surprise to the list though to most people would be Metropolis. I feel that this movie was under appericated by people and should be seen. It is very good and has a impressive 3-D effects.

Well this rounds out my list. Feel free to post your own list if you wish too. Or if you have any questions or comments on my list don't hesitate to post it in a comment. I would be happy to reply as long as it is within reason. Or send me a note.

Anyways, That is all for now.

In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under
Only child know
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for
Is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on that breaking wall
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Cray cray crazy
Crazy are the people walking through my head
One of thems got a gun to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Get it, get it, get it, yeah!
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe then maybe then maybe then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Crazy
No no we'll never survive unless we get a little bit
A man decides to go along after seventy years
Oh darlin
In a sky full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
Crazy
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy
Oh babe Oh darlin'
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
Isn't that crazy Isn't that crazy Isn't that crazy
Ohh
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
No no never survive unless we get a little bit
And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Someday
Only child know
Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before
Someday

Easier To Run"

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change

[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

I was going to post Numb but the video is out and extremely popular so this song was just as good. ]]> ~balmung http://balmung.deviantart.com/journal/1356773/ http://balmung.deviantart.com/journal/1356773/ Tue, 04 Nov 2003 07:19:26 PST
The Noose

So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
Without himself
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down [repeated]

Your halo slipping down to choke you now

This song is one of the best on this under rated Cd. If you get the chance, take a real good look at it. Later ]]> ~balmung http://balmung.deviantart.com/journal/1337938/ http://balmung.deviantart.com/journal/1337938/ Wed, 29 Oct 2003 14:19:29 PST
World So Cold

When passion's lost and all the trust is gone,
Way too far, for way too long
Children crying, cast out and neglected,
Only in a world so cold, only in a world this cold
Hold the hand of your best friend, look into their eyes,
Then watch them drift away
Some might say, we've done the wrong things,
For way too long, for way too long

Fever inside the storm,
So I'm turning away,
Away from the name
(calling your names)
Away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away,
Away from the games
(fucking head games)
Away from the space
(hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

Burning whispers, remind me of the days,
I was left alone, in a world this cold
Guilty of the same things, provoked by the cause,
I've left alone, in a world so cold
Fever inside the storm,
So I'm turning away,
Away from the name
(calling your names)
Away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

Keep your thorns,
'Cause I'm running away,
Away from the games
(fucking head games)
Away from the space
(hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away,
Away from the names
(calling your names)
Away from the games
(fucking head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold

Why does everyone feel like my enemy,
Don't want any part of depression or darkness, I've had enough,
Sick and tired, bring the sun, or I'm gone, or I'm gone

I'm backing out, I'm no pawn,
No mother-fucking slave to this,
Never lied
Never left
Never lived
Never loved
Never lost
Never hurt
Never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about anything,

Backing out, giving up, no mother-fucking slave to this,
Never lied
Never left
Never lived
Never loved
Never lost
Never hurt
Never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about anything,

I need to find a darkened corner,
A lightless corner,
Where it's safer and calmer,

I'm turning away,
Away from the name
(calling your names)
Away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

I'm running away,
Away from the games
(fucking head games)
Away from the space
(hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away,
Away from the names
(calling your names)
Away from the games
(fucking head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold

This song is the best song from the entire album and it was hard to choose because the Cd is so fucking good. Anyways until next time later. ]]> ~balmung http://balmung.deviantart.com/journal/1308474/ http://balmung.deviantart.com/journal/1308474/ Wed, 22 Oct 2003 07:00:23 PDT

Spiders

The piercing radiant moon
The storming of poor June
All the life running through her hair
Approaching guiding light
Our shallow years in fright
Dreams are made winding through my head
Through my head
Before you know, Awake
Your lives are open wide
The V-chip gives them sight
All the life running through her hair
The spiders all in tune
The evening of the moon
Dreams are made winding through my head
Through my head
Before you know
Before you know I will be waiting awake
Dreams are made winding through her hair
Dreams are made winding through her hair.

This song is probably one of their best song, and I recommend checking it out. If you download the video, well I can't explain what happens in that, it is just fucked up.

UPS:

On Friday, I got a new girlfriend and well let just say that I'm not a real swift talker at times. Anyways it was a funny site to see.

Saturday was the best day of the weekend cuz I got to go downtown with my good pal . We had good times down there. We ended up going to an Anime store were I finally after 2 and a half years got the Gundam Model Tallgeese 3. With this model, my collection is almost complete for the movie series. All I need now is the Serpant and my collection for the movie series is complete. As for he got this really cool Trigun wallscroll for his room. (Trust me it is REALLY cool) Anyways after that we wandered around for like 2 hours more before we decided to head home. On the subway home, these 2 girl kept staring at us like we were freaks or something, so, at our stop Katboy and I got off and as the subway train was leaving we started waving at them and well from there I guess we kinda of creep them out. Anyways, we went back to Katboy's house were he tried to teach how to play NHL 2004. Well, he smoked me the first 2 game by scores of 7-0 and 9-4, but I was not to be shut out from winning and I finally beat him in Overtime 4-3. Go Domi!!!

Sunday:
The good part about Sunday was that I got for points in hockey and I got Millar's Report to complete The 08th Mobile Suit team series.<---- Amazing series.


DOWNS:
Sunday:
In hockey my own Dad traded to the other team because they were short players. Damn Dad.

Monday:
Thanksgiving here was a hell hole. I had to make sure that the younger kids didn't see the parents drunk and i had to make sure that my parents didn't get drunk so I could home as soon as possible. On top of that my 3 and 4 year old cousin open mouth kissed each other.


Ok I can't write anymore, it just goes downhill from here.

Out-side of Home:
concerts: I might be going to one towards the end of the month with my friend Adam, but that is subject to change. On the plus side hte best band in the world, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, is suppost to be coming to town in December which I refuse to miss. Also the Plegde of Allegiance might be started again featuring Mudvayne, SlipKnot, System of a Down, and Lamb of God or Spectula. If it does happen to start up again, it will be huge. Good times ahead, I hope.
Sports: Field Lacrosse is ending soon and it couldn't come any sooner because our team blows. We have only one win and we'll just leave it at that. At least Hockey will be starting soon and then it is just fun fun fun. In football, Go Denver Go!
Work: I am back at Toys R Us and that's about it.

What is happening now?
Music-> A Perfect Circle and Taproot
Video Game-> .hack//Outbreak <--- A must play series
