Evenings Greetings and Salutations!
Have you missed me? Ya ya, don't get all mushy, I missed you too. I just figured you'd want me to focus on updating entries or making more. Which I have been, in a manner of speaking. This however wont take me long, I just thought I'd update ya on a few things.
Namely that I am still in the market for an assistant :D I love my Lox, but he's pursuing a much more prestigious goal in life and has little time for blogging and research. He's still our beloved pervert-adventurer and all around narcissistic good guy, who still watches Anime; he's just hoping to trade in his collared shirts with fatigues (or whatever the Swedish military calls their uniforms) And this we support him in.
So anyone interested you may comment or email me at diamondoll1985@msn.com
Moving along. I want to apologize to a few people who I'm sure have come here thinking I'd done a post on Vampire Knight. I'm here to say, it's in the process, but it has nearly killed me trying to get proper info!
The nightmares, the nightmares... it's Saber Marionette all over again.
It should be simple! Not like Bleach or Pokemon or One Piece (I've slightly poked at Bleach but ran away screaming. Not from the show, the show is awesome. But holy never ending bio-batman )
Anyway I refuse to upload without a 98.7% surety that I've got the right stuff. I'm almost there but.. ah.. I got distracted. Depending on IT"S difficulty you may or may not see C'lannad before VK. I BEG for your forgiveness..
Anyway that's it. Again if any of you lovely readers have requests those will be put in priority and I might actually get them posted soon. What with having a reason to and all.

Death Note (Anime)
I am soooo freaking sorry!! I didn't notice I hadn't updated!! IT"S OUT PEOPLE!! Dubbed and ready to be loved. OMGOSH! I love this show soo much, it's so dark and dramatic and amazing! You love and hate people time and time and time again! Mostly just the same person, but you go back and forth. Anyway, I shall update now.
Ok peeps, it looks like two specials came out as well. Death Note: Relight 1 & 2 Ls successors
This is, in almost majority. Crap. It's basically a retelling of the series, with a few "new" clips added. These clips apparenlty aren't all that great, and are more or less redundant.
"So in conclusion, this is basically a milking of the series that subtracts everything that's really good about the actual anime." -Thomas E Hanley (amazon member/reviewer)
Death Note: The Last Name (The Live Action Movie) DVD (Episodes 10-25)
L: Change the WorLd Spin-off of Death Note Series (Not sure if its out in America yet)
This started out as a Manga, as most animes do, so that means YES there is more info for you in da books. If you want all the nitty gritty bits, read!!! Failing that the Anime totally makes up for
your lack of literary culture. Either way DON'T miss the Anime :D

Hetalia Axis Powers
I'm going to preface this with one world:
LOVES!!
I have VERY little to say about this show but.. I'm excited to say that Funi has picked them UP! And will be dubbing them, however I think they wont be released until late 2010.
So heres the deal Peeps. Hetalia started as an awesome webcomic (thats translated btw, sorry guys I appreciate the Japanese culture, and I understand you guys love the subs vs the dubs, but I don't speak Japanese, and I like voice actors ok?!)
They have been published in two Volumes by Gentosha Comics and there was rumor that seinen manga magazine Comic Birz but that was a misunderstanding. So I'm thinking it hasn't come out in US yet. :(
I got a little confused when it comes to the Anime. I KNOW there are two 26 eps seasons, but I think there might be a third. Funi has the rights to release two of the season, but they just announced that on the 8th of this month.. so like I said.. not until LATE 2010 will we see any of the spoils
I guess there is ALSO a movie, it was announced Sept. 23rd '09 and is scheduled to come out in 2010 sometime :D Love how they are soo specific.. LOVE IT I SAY!!
There is nothing out in America yet, and I sadly only pay attention to that.. sorry folks. But really I can't search for the others in different languages because..I'd get confused really quickly. So I'lll just leave you with the website from Funi and... a really cute picture!
p.s. It has yaoi undertones.. just saying. Not my artwork, it belongs to brilcrist
It's OUT! I had a mini party in my bathrob and slippers when I saw this and instantly bought my per-order copy! The first season came out today, I get mine tomorrow *happy dance*
Here ya go
There are no Vol. 1 &2 because the episodes, I kid you not, are like 5-10 mins long. All 26 are here. You aren't missing anything. But if you are used to fast forwarding the opening credits and ending credits to get to the next bit, don't bother, they aren't very long either, and are fun to sing along too. (Off topic, I have a tradition of always listening to the full opening and ending credits for every anime I watch.. then I usually just skip them. Unless I really really like it. Like Last Exile.)
The Second season has been dubbed too but it doesn't come out until Oct 26.. I know it's to keep the Hype going so people buy more.. but seriously people, you're killing me!!

Trigun (Anime, Manga, Movie)
Yasuhiro Nightow submited Trigun to the Tokuma Shoten magazine Shōnen Captain and began regular serialization later until 1997 when the magazine bit the dust. However magazine Young King Ours, published by Shōnen Gahōsha, offered him a spot with a new series, though he felt bad about leaving Trigun unfinished, so they let him continue it with: Trigun: Maximum. Which is set two years later, a bit on the serious side, perhaps due to the switch from a shōnen to a seinen magazine. Nightow has said the change in name is only because of the change in publishing, it is not a sequel, but a continuation.
Ok Vash fans, pretty much everyone on Amazon reviews LOVES this show. They rank it right up there with Cowboy Bebop and stuff :D So you know its good. I have watched the first three episodes, and so far.. it's ok. Our discs are being stupid so we haven't watched anymore, but from reading all the glowing praise I want to!
Trigun 3 Volumes
Vol 3 Manga - can't find!! (gah!!)
Trigun Maximum 14 Volumes

Vol 14
26 Episodes
or
(( There is a Trigun remix, it's the same song and dance, only there are more epis per disc so there are fewer Vols. Also they amped up the sound to 5.1, and each opening is slightly different. Also theres are diff covers, and slightly different extras. It's recommend for first time buyers to get this set, but in all honestly it probably doesn't matter.))
It was licensed in the United States by Pioneer USA (now Geneon). However, Funimation Entertainment rescued it after Geneon USA closed its doors in 2007. Funi will be re-releasing the DVD and Blu-ray in the fall of 2010.
Nightow has stated that due to the finality of the anime ending, it is unlikely any continuation will be made. However, that doesn't rule out the possibility of a reboot based on Trigun Maximum. This statement makes me think that the 26 Epis are all based on the first 3 manga vols, but I have found nothing to prove my theory.Movie: Trigun: Badlands Rumble released 4/24/10 - can't find
Game: Trigun: The Planet Gunsmoke - Also can't find

Hellsing: Anime & Manga VAMPIRES!!
If you weren't in love with Alocard in Castlevania then you will be now. I watched the first disc last night (all 3 episodes *shaking fist*). At first I was a little iffy about it, Hellsing is much darker.. and uglyier (compaired to Fruits Basket it is ugly!) then what I normally watch, however unlike my sister I get past the animation and focus on the story and the characters. And now currenlty searching for the rest of this story! There are 13 episodes, and they don't follow the plot of the Manga, not much anyway. So it really doesn't matter which order you watch it in, because they don't follow each other. But they do have the same characters, so thats helpful.
Hellsing - Impure Souls (Vol. 1)
Hellsing - Blood Brothers (Vol. 2)
Hellsing - Search and Destroy (Vol. 3)
Hellsing - Eternal Damnation (Vol. 4)
Ok now I may or may not watch the Hellsing OVA more of less for the reason below:
"The three-part Ultimate OVA offers even less plot and more violence than the original program: the filmmakers seem intent on setting a record for gore in an anime series. Characters are dismembered, bodies torn apart, eyes gouged, and corpses devoured. It all adds up to a nonstop slaughter-athon that would make the cast of Wicked City blanche. (Rated 16 and older, but more appropriate for 18 and older: graphic violence, violence against women, sadism, grotesque imagery, tobacco use, cannibalism, profanity)" --Charles Solomon
So I didn't read my own review befor watching the OVA, I did watch it. Or at least I think I watched the OVA. I know I watched all of the 13 episodes, which rocked. Then my final disc had more on it.. but it was pretty much exactly what I just watched, however the animation was different and it was compressed, they pretty much took out a lot of the irrelavant details and just hit you with the raw story. I was MAYJORLY confused, so I came here. And to my surprise.. kinda.. I didn't have any of the info I needed. BAD Stone!! So heres what I found out. There will be 7 volumes of OVA, Funi has it now and they just released the 4th one Sept. '08 the next three don't have release dates. BUT they are alllll out in Japan.. so if you can't wait start those search engines up and get some fan subs.
I also found out that the OVA follows the Manga more then the other one.. which explains the similarities! I guess I'll have to read the Manga to really find out huh? *sigh* So much to do.

Oh and guess what? Theres a Manga prequel called Hellsing: The Dawn. Heres what wiki has to say about it because I'm lazy:
Hellsing: The Dawn
In 2001, Hirano began publishing chapters of a prequel series, Hellsing: The Dawn, in special editions of Young King OURs, of which six chapters have been released as of May 2009. The Dawn features a fourteen year-old Walter C. Dornez and Alucard, in the form of a 14 year old girl, attacking Millennium's base of operations in Germany, Poland in September 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising. Publication is scheduled to resume after the conclusion of the main Hellsing series. According to Taliesin Jaffe, the chapters of The Dawn will be animated as part of the Hellsing Ultimate OVA series
