Manga Reviews and Newtype Romance August 28, 2006
Posted by rbeth272 in manga, random.5 comments
I’ve been reading so much manga lately, I thought I might as well write about some of what I’m reading. Also for some reason I had a really hard time writing this entry, I didn’t bother checking spelling so I’m sorry it’s so terrible!!
New Series
Kekkaishi volumes 1-4- This is a series I had read a lot about on certain message boards so when there was a sale on Viz manga I decided to order the first two volumes. I liked it a whole lot! So much so that I decided to go out and get the next two volumes as soon as I could. I also forced my little brother to read it, he enjoyed it as well. I really liked Yoshimori, the wanting to build a castle of sweets thing is cute. I like Tokine too even though she seems like a bit of snob. The fourth volume was very good, I cried while I was reading the story about the pastery maker and his brother… yup if a manga can make me cry I know it’s good!
My Favorite Characters August 15, 2006

Doing reviews and stuff is boring, making lists is fun! So I decided to have some fun and make a bunch of lists of my favorite characters woo 
As fun as it was it was kind of hard too because my favorite characters change every day and I’m always forgetting some of them but I tried.
New Manga Licenses July 23, 2006
Posted by rbeth272 in manga, random.add a comment
Between Comic Con and Anime Expo there’s been loads of new manga releases announced, I’m really excited about a lot of them so I decided to go through all the ones I’m at least a little bit interested in. It looks like my wallet will be crying for years to come 
Broccoli Books
E’s by Satoru Yugia- I’ve heard a lot of really good things about this. I tried watching the anime but I didn’t like it too much but I’ll definitely try the manga out, the art does look really nice and sometimes that can be enough to get me to buy a whole series! (more…)
Toonami Jetstream and Dubs July 15, 2006
Posted by rbeth272 in Bleach, Blood+, anime, dubs, random.add a comment
Toonami Jetstream launched today, three days early. I was really looking forward to it because I wanted to check out the dub for Prince of Tennis. It’s only available in the United States, but I mean when you think about it, if the show were airing on Toonami itself then people outside the US wouldn’t be able to see it either. It all has to do with licensing and stuff like that and people are making much too big of a deal out of it… besides if you know where to look you can find them ripped (at least PoT). (more…)
Anime Expo June 27, 2006

No I won’t be there… At first I thought about making a whole post about how I’m pissed I can’t go to Anime Expo and it feels like the whole world is shoving it in my face. Then I decided against that, bitching won’t do any good so instead I’m going to try and guess some of the things that will happen at AX, it’ll be fun… well fun for me of course, completely uninteresting for anyone else.
Manga Shopping, Shojo Beat and Angel Diary 3 June 26, 2006
Posted by rbeth272 in Bleach, manga, random.add a comment
I went to Borders today and bought the July issue of Shojo Beat, Angel Diary 3, Bleach 13, Kaze Hikaru 2 and the Blood novel (maybe there’s more then one? I got the first one I saw). It was really crowded and there were a whole bunch of kids in the manga section. The lady at the cash register was the same person who was there the last time I bought a bunch of manga, which was only two weeks ago, it was kind of embarrassing. She said she was up to episode 62 of Bleach, I told her I stopped watching it when the fillers started (which was around then actually I think). She also mentioned that it was coming to Adult Swim but that it wouldn’t be the same because it was dubbed and I told her that I already knew and that I was really looking forward to it. Oh and when I was looking at the manga I saw that Viz is changing some of their spines. I noticed it on volume 8 of Fullmetal Alchemist, ack it’s like the biggest, ugliest V I’ve ever seen in my life. It made me want to buy that volume even less; they’ve changed the way FMA looks twice now.
Randomness… June 23, 2006
Posted by rbeth272 in anime, random.1 comment so far
I’ve been getting a lot of packages lately because I’ve been buying too much stuff! Today I got four magazines in the mail: May and June Animage and April and June Animedia. They’re a few months old so all the pictures have already been scanned and all that but seeing them in the magazine was better. It was the first time I got Japanese anime magazines (I have a couple manga anthologies) and I learned something, Japanese magazines are hard to read if you can’t read Japanese :p Really I bought them for the furoku and the pictures.
Oh wow I’m really creative and original and stuff… May 12, 2006

I've been reading so many anime blogs lately it kind of made me want to give it a shot. But here's the thing, there are so many anime blogs, probably half of them have the same name as this one and they are all probably better then this one too. I shouldn't be doing this, I'm not good at writing at all, I'm lazy and I don't speak or read Japanese. it's also a bad time for me to start trying, it's well in to the spring season and I'm in the middle of finals. But yeah I still wanted to try, I don't see it lasting very long…
