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

The Wallflower (Anime)


I LOVE IT!!! I'm in love. This Anime has gone beyond all my expectations. It must have been fate that made me pick this Manga Vol. 1, because I was at the store to get Ouran High School Host Club Vol. 3 for my sisters Christmas present, here is where Fate stepped in: There wasn't a single OHSHC on their vast Manga shelves! What they did have was The Wallflower -and an abundance of Fruits Basket but she owns all of them, as do I- So I picked it up.. and proceeded to read. I had to get over the fact that these boys look suspisciously like girls, it wasn't hard though the story ROCKS! So after gifting an already read book I went out and got the second, loving it even MORE!

Courtesy of my charming and awefully helpful blog I knew that there was a corresponding Anime to this Manga Masterpiece. if I hadn't already been in love the Anime would have done it! 4 of the 5 voice actors are tops favorites of mine (not that I dislike the 5th I just haven't heard him before.. to my knowledge) and they've brought the story to LIFE! The screaming the crying... the love!!

Anime totally 26 episodes
Wallflower, Vol. 1: Lesson 1-My Fair Bishonen epis-1~5

Wallflower Vol. 2: Lesson 2: Shrewring of the Timid epis-6~9

The Wallflower: Lesson, Vol. 3: 10 Things I Hate About Yuki 10-14

Hey all Just found out that all 26 have not be released in the US. Volumes(lessons) 1-3 were produced and released by ADV Films but then the license was switched and now Funi has it. Funimation will be releasing the Vols1-3 again in 1/20/2009 then will be releasing the rest. If you don't mind the wait I highly recommend watching Season One (as they call it), if you DO mind waiting I recommend watching this show STILL and advise you go get the Manga Oh Impatent Ones. Not sure when Season 2 will be coming out. As I said above I'm in love so I promise I'll keep you posted!

OK Chaps Sources Say that The Wallflower Part 2 will be coming out March 2009, are you excited? ALl I can say is you better, I risked life and limb for that info!! (jk)

Kyo Kara Maoh


I really really REALLY want to watch this show, however there may be a little... Guy-lov'in so for if your not in to that let this ease your mind:
"Though not explicitly shōnen-ai (boys love), the series is often mistaken for such because of its overtones (such as an early plot point that ends with two male characters becoming engaged), and calm acceptance of homosexuality in the setting, as well as because the cast is predominantly made up of good-looking young men. More accurately, the series can be called a male harem. Romance is not a main theme of the series, though it has a flourishing fan-community dedicated to various romantic pairings. Kyou Kara Maoh! can also be accurately called shōjo - anime and manga written for a female audience "
It looks SUPER cute and I'm really in need of a funny Anime right now. I'm going threw Noir... its taken me a week to watch 3 episodes no humor! No Humor at all, and this looks like a blast, I haven't seen one bad review. Simply can't wait! Arn't the boys pretty?
For a pre-emptive Kyo attack check out theif offical Funimation Webpage: http://www.funimation.com/kyokaramaoh/

Season 1 - 39 Episodes


Season 2 - 39 Episodes

3rd Season - 39 Episodes
Started airing Apirl 2008 nothing has been released as far as DVDs
Five OVAS were released in Japan, but its unsure if they will come to the US sorry folks :) I'll keep you updated!
13 Light Novels -honestly I have the hardest time with Light Novels, are they just like plan books then? No pictures? Dang I likes the pictures, I think I need to get me some Light Novel Action so I can say for sure what they are. Long story short, I can't find them sorry folks.
4 Volumes of Manga

Scrapped Princess



This Anime has been added to my top 10 ranking in at #4 after Fruits Basket, Oruan High, and Full Metal Panic.

This show has succeeded in something that no other anime has.

It made me cry.

Now you can find Tragic love in almost all Anime but none of them quit make it like this. These characters had CHEMESTY real live emotions, that tuged and tore at my heart strings. I still can't believe it happened personally, the story was a bit rapetative, and i didn't think they fleshed the characters out enough for me to care, espeically our heroin. But man a live i'm still fighting back bouts of "WHY!!!!" Even with all that they ended the story magnificantly, it was semi-pradictable, though most stories are now adays, but I found closure and loved it even more for that.


24 (AWESOME) episodes


Scrapped Princess - Family Ties (Vol. 1)

Scrapped Princess - Melancholy Wagon Tracks (Vol. 2)

Scrapped Princess, Vol. 3 - Traveling Troubles

Scrapped Princess, Vol. 4 - Spells and Circumstances

Scrapped Princess, Vol. 5 - Prophesies and Parents

Scrapped Princess, Vol. 6 - Pacifica's Destiny

LIGHT NOVEL 13 volumes (I think)


Scrapped Princess Novel 1: A Tale of Destiny

Scrapped Princess Novel 2: Song of the Forgiven

Scrapped Princess 3: Requiem for the Infidels (Scapped Princess)

Scrapped Princess 4: March of the Knight (Scapped Princess)


The manga is only three volumes, and has no plot overlap with the anime; the only things in common are the three main characters, the idea of the Scrapped Princess, and the Mauser Faith they are running from--

Thats from a review I saw, however I have been unable to find the Manga ANYWHERE, at first I thought that novels where the manga, and they still MIGHT be however there are FOUR so i'm a bit lost. I'm posting this anyway though so if any of you know you can let me know! Hows that?

Neon Gensis Evangelion (Anime: Mecha)






Some where someone thought it would be funny to wreck almighty havoc with the releasing of these 26 Episodes. There are ONLY 26 Episodes, even though there's a movie, and "remakes" and lots of released Neon Gensis stuff. There are ONLY 26 Episodes you will not glean any more information for any of the following DVDs. OK I lied a bit, you will get a smidgen, a SMIDGEN of more information but its not worth the redundant madness that you will have to endure.



Why do I stress there are only 26 episodes, because lets face it, I'm being redundant and blatantly obvious. They re-did episodes 21-24 and 25 and 26 like thirty different times, a-n-d n-o-t-h-i-n-g c-h-a-n-g-e-d!


They did however release all of their "remakes" as NEW, let me tell you they aren't, theres like .5% new with them and the rest of the 99.5% isn't worth watching again, and again...


Just trust me Watch the 26 Normal Episodes and you'll be ahead of the game. However if you must and I mean you better be DIEING (literally) to watch these; Rent and/or Netflix them do NOT pay good hard cash for them, and still only watch the Movie: The End of Evengalion.

You know its kinda not fair! There is a reason that it is one of the classics, the beginning is phenomenal! So is the middle and your just an inch away from fast forwarding the whole thing so you can have more Eva goodness!! The Ending though, the ending kills the show, LITERALLY KILLS THE SHOW (and no one survives..)
I was once in raptures about this show, now it makes me want to hid under my bed and cry. I don't know why or how they decided their ending made sense, all they did was open another can of worms, no one taught them to put their toys away once they were finished before pulling out more. They lost most of their fan base after it came out. Its not really a wonder they had funding problems...

ANYWAY On with the Madness...

26 episodes
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Collection 0:1 (Episodes 1-4)

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Collection 0:2 (Episodes 5-8)

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Collection 0:3 (Episodes 9-11)

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Collection 0:4 (Episodes 12-14)
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Collection 0:5 (Episodes 15-17)

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Collection 0:6 (Episodes 18-20)

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Collection 0:7 (Episodes 21-23)

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Collection 0:8 (Episodes 24-26)

K theres also a Platinum collection, don't worry its just more goodies ie: cut sences and extras, and apparenlty they have upped the quality of the DVD ie sound and picture. I might be captian obvious here but I used to get confused between Perfect Collections and Complete Collections, I didn't want to miss ANYTHING! If your just worried about the story your not missing anything when getting different "Collections" you just wont get the same extras, thats all there is to it.

(Watch Out Movie time!)

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Death & Rebirth The first part, Death, is an hour-long re-edit of the first 24 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. New scenes were added to the film, which were eventually added in to the television show itself in the "Director's Cut" versions of episodes 21 through 24 which were released in the Japanese LaserDisc release and the Platinum Collection DVD release

Death was re-edited twice (told ya). The first edit was Death(true), which removed the new scenes and was shown with Rebirth on the Japanese Network WOWOW. The second edit was Death(true)², which reincorporated the image of Adam on Gendo Ikari's hand, and had several scenes taken out. Death(true)² was the cut attached to Revival of Evangelion, the final edit of the Evangelion movies, as well as the video release of Death and Rebirth.

The second part, Rebirth, consists of an entirely new animation and storyline which follows episode 24, and is a remake (wow another one) of the final two episodes of the television series 25 and 26. Due to time constraints, the new animation wasn't fully completed when the movie was released and only the first 27 minutes out of the total 40 minutes were shown in Rebirth. Originally, Rebirth was intended to include episodes 25 and 26, which were later released as the The End of Evangelion movie. Four months later, The End of Evangelion movie, the second Evangelion movie, featured the complete Rebirth animation, which was released as "Episode 25: Air", and "Episode 26: My Purest Heart for You (Sincerely Yours)".

Neon Genesis Evangelion - The End of Evangelion MOVIE (its just different accounting of Episodes 25 and 26)


Neon Genesis Evangelion: Platinum Collection (Why not it will save you a whole lot of hasel)
