Changes

That's right I said Changes. If you haven't noticed (I wouldn't have noticed either except I made them) there have been some changes up'n here. I've added a Top ten list, a POLL, and changed some font/color settings Hurrah! for diversity.

Something however that you may NOT have noticed though, is that I have released my comment block! Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry can comment at will.

So please COMMENT AT WILL!

FYI: Comments not limited too: Toms, Dicks, or Harrys and should be directed at T.W.I.G.G not Will

Novel Time! There are 6 Novels in total, but I can't FIND 'EM Sorry I'll keep trying.


6 Anime Episodes were adapted from the first novel. Then from the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th Novels 7 more Episodes were pulled from various chapters, and are interspersed between the other 6. Now Episode 9 was written specifically for the Anime by the auther of the novels.

Couldn't have made it more confusing huh?!

Now don't go getting cranky on me Littl Brown Books for Young Readers, and Yen Press have picked up the label and will be releasing them, the first one is out, the rest, well the rest just aren't. The tenth I don't even think is out in Japan yet, its an on going series.

K I keept finding mixed reviews: That Vol 1 is already out (Jan 4 09 or October!) or that it will be released April 2009, I'll keep you posted.

Fruits Basket! aka Furuba (Anime, Manga Romance)



Honestly cutest show I've seen in the LONGEST TIME! This show is baised off of a Book Series by Natsuki Takaya, unfortunately for a lot of us the Show is only threw book 6, personally I ran to the library and fast!

Fruits Basket Show: 3 disc
Fruits Basket, Volume 1: A Great Transformation? (Episodes 1-6)
Fruits Basket, Volume 2: What Becomes of Snow? (Episodes 7-12)
Fruits Basket, Volume 3: Puddles of Memories (Episodes 13-19)
Fruits Basket, Volume 4: The Clearing Sky (Episodes 20-26)
These only encompass volume 1 - 6 of the book series
(no word on making any more.. or at least I haven't found any which makes me sad I LOVE the voice actors)

Fruits Basket Books: volumes 1 - 23.

They have only released up to Vol. 21 in America.. or English I guess is more "PC". Anywho all of them are out in Japan, and for the clever websurfer you can find the books AND translation.. for the MORE cleverer you can find both of them together, I'm not so clever I had two diff web pages, a little difficult but it worked and let me tell you I have never NEVER finished a story so very satisfied! And I have read a LOT, I laughed and cried.. mostly cried at the end Totally a NoteBook cry though. If you will only read one Manga this year or EVER read this one. Unless of course you like fighting and war then do us a favor, put the book down and skip to the Adventure Section of Barns N' Noble, cause I don't want to hear you complain that there isn't enough blood, guts, or Mecha on some fan page(there is however a suprising abundance of blood in this story though..)


Personal Note: Like most Books-gone-to-movie they have left some stuff out, not much but if you want a little extra Zodiac love I'd read all the books, I know I have :)
Fruits Basket Volume 22 (v. 22) comes out March 17 2009
Fruits Basket Volume 23 (Fruits Basket) comes out in July 14 2009

Red River (Manga, Romantical Fantasy)



28 Manga Volumes only 24 are out but never fear the rest are well on their way! Also there are 2 novels based off the Manga but I can't find them at the mo I'll keep you posted.


Her Majesty's Dog (Manga)

I was tipped off by a friends niece for this one. Sounds really cute, I don't remember seeing it in my many raids of Barnes and Noble but then again I never knew to look for it. I tell you I will now hopefully its there otherwise I'll have to Glamazon it and that takes to long! :(

11 volumes, and Mr. #11 just came out in October! But thats all sorry folks (you should be thanking your lucky stars though, it's her longest series...)

Ouran High School Host Club (Anime)

I am watching Ouran High School Host Club as soon as I'm done with Banner of the Stars. However I've done some research on it already because my friend bought it for me and its in Japanese with English subs. I didn't want to open it until I found out if I could get it dubed in English. You can't at least not right now, though Funimation has picked it up and is in the process of Dubing it, though it will be a while yet before its out. I'll keep you posted:
POSTED: The Englished Dubed version of Ouran High School Host Club Season Part One will be available October 28th 2008

POSTED AGAIN: Sorry Guys I'm a little late on this one Season One Part Two is now out as of TODAY! Thats right fellow Anime addicts the release date of Season 1 part 2 is January 6th 2009 aka TODAY. Nice timing right?

This show is ranked in my top 5, and is warring with The Wallflower for #2's position
I love the characters and the story. Anime is SO original and new isn't it? LOVES!!
Anyway I hope you enjoy it as well.
