  <title>First manga review: S.P.Y.</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/4547.html</link>
  <description>So I recently read this manga and finished today. I don&apos;t really remember how I found it, but I just know I started reading and liked the story over all. I just didn&apos;t expect it to be so short, I mean, it&apos;s only two volumes. Well...being that I just finished reading it, I decided to make my review on this manga, so...here goes....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img2.isoshu.com/cover/manga/L/20080906145659.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S.P.Y. is written by Ayane Ukyou and was serialized in the bi-weekly magazine, Margaret (mangas like Boys Over Flowers where serialized in this magazine). S.P.Y. is the story of Nagi Tachibana, a girl who is the daughter of Sukigawa Maki--gold medalist swimmer--and a girl who doesn&apos;t know how to swim. She lives in an island with her father, and leaves to Tokyo in order to meet her mom who abandoned them. Even so, Nagi seems to admire her and wishes to immitate her by trying to become a good swimmer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When she gets to Tokyo, she and her father go to live in a dorm where a swiming club has its activities and where Nagi&apos;s father becomes the security guard. In that dorm, she meets Aoi Chihara, a member of the men&apos;s swimming club that replaced the original swimming club Nagi was looking for. At first, Nagi doesn&apos;t have a good opinion about Aoi, but after she watches him swim, she practically stalks him so that he can become her coach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She also meets a model named Yoji who also seems to be a very good swimmer, and a past member of the previous swimming club. A small love triangle starts to form between Nagi, Aoi, and Yoji, and to make matters worse, it seems as if Nagi&apos;s mother is a cold-hearted swimming coach that doesn&apos;t really care about &quot;bad swimmers&quot; such as Nagi and Yoji, and who wants to take Aoi away to coach him so that he can become a gold-medalist like her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Well...I have to admit that I like the story. Even though the manga is just two volumes long, it kept me interested in reading throughout. The drawing style is really good, specially on the guys who are really hot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two things I could say I didn&apos;t really like are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-the speed in which the climax of the story started and ended. From having a relatively normal pace throughout the story, the pace starts to increase in speed when the climax starts, and when I least expected, I had finished reading the manga which had a sort-of-abrupt ending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Not enough plot on the other members of the club, nor on Nagi&apos;s mother. We don&apos;t get to know anything about them; where they come from, why they are the way they are...nothing. I even started to make my own theory on why Nagi&apos;s mom was the way she was, but there was never an explanation on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even so, I still enjoyed the manga a lot, even though I read a lot of bad comments on it, specially on the ending of the story. I liked that it was short and to the point and that I didn&apos;t have to wait for years to know how the story would end. I also liked that they didn&apos;t go on and on with the love triangle as with other shojo mangas, and that at least, the girl was able to choose the guy she liked without having to take forever to chose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I think the plot is decent, the drawings are great, and I&apos;m in love with Aoi. I couldn&apos;t really ask for more. If you don&apos;t mind that the story is short and that the ending is sort of abrupt...then I recommend this story a 90%.</description>

  <title>And the reviews continue: Lovely Complex Review</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/4228.html</link>
  <description>Wow, it&apos;s been almost a year since I last wrote a review. To be honest, I&apos;ve lost the feeling of writting my own reviews being that not many people read them (now that I think about it...even if people read them, I probably wouldn&apos;t feel like writting), and I was very busy during the last year with work and school. Now, I have a bit more free time being that because of the stupid recession, I have practically lost my job although my boss calls me once in a while for help, but still...I miss the money I used to make, even if it wasn&apos;t that much T_T&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, to not delay this any longer... here&apos;s the review!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs23/f/2007/328/c/1/_Lovely_Complex__by_Otani_x_Risa.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z141/AkaBaka07/LoveCom0013-1024x768.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg83/sakuradesuu/Lovely%20complex/amikc0.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lovely Complex (or love*com for short) is a romantic comedy manga written and drawn by Aya Nakahara. The story is about a tall girl named Risa Koizumi and a short boy named Atsushi Otani who are very good friends, but, often, argue a lot. Because of their relationship as a comedy duo (every time they start arguing with each other) they are know as the &quot;All Hanshin Kyojin&quot; who are a popular (and similar to Koizumi and Otani) comedy duo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the beginning of the story, Koizumi, who has very bad luck with boys because of her height, falls in love with a tall boy whose name is Ryoji Suzuki. While Koizumi has her feelings set for this boy, Otani falls in love with one of Koizumi&apos;s friends, Chiharu Tanaka. They both find out about the other&apos;s likes, and decide to unite in order to help each other with their curresponding crushes. In the end, though, Suzuki and Chiharu end up falling in love with each other, leaving Koizumi and Otani to confort each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the story progresses, Otani and Koizumi&apos;s relationship starts to get stronger, and Koizumi ends up falling in love with Otani. She goes through a lot of misunderstandings and awkward moments as she tries to let Otani know how she feels, only to be rejected by him once he finds out (main reason: height difference). But this is not the end of the story, and through a lot of other events, Otani starts to see Koizumi in another light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I saw this anime more than a year ago, just before I started working (in february 2008 to be exact) , and I have to say that this anime is one of the best animes I watched last year, if not, the best! Each and every episode made me laugh and I enjoyed all of the romance, specially since it not only concentrates on the main characters, but also on the other characters as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found myself relating to Koizumi because I have had a similar problem like her throughout my life. I&apos;m as tall as she is and the boys that are tall usually end up paying attention to the short girls ja,ja. But anyway, I also related to Otani, and that&apos;s because I pay too much attention to height when it comes to liking boys. Even so, I liked how the story pointed out how height is not really important when there is love. It made me look at it from a different point of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, Episode 18 from Lovely Complex is one of my favorite anime episodes of all the animes I have watched. If you want to delight yourself with that episode, specially after a lot of frustration throughout the other episodes because Otani doesn&apos;t accept Koizumi as his girlfriend, I recommend to not watch any videos nor episode summaries of Lovely Complex before you watch that episode. It made me jump from my chair and scream of happiness (thankfully I was home alone that day, lol).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, to make this review short, I definitely recommend this anime for romance freaks like me, shojo lovers, like me, and anyone who wants to laugh and have a good time while watching anime. This anime is 100% recommended.</description>

  <title>BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/3879.html</link>
  <description>Ok, I think it&apos;s better if I do it now or I&apos;ll just postpone it and then I won&apos;t feel like doing it. So here&apos;s my review on the anime, BECK:Mongolian Chop Squad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://rpod.ru/personal/pictures/00/00/00/47/58/0000000002.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/8964/beckmm8.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so Beck:Mongolian Chop Squad is a manga created by Harold Sakuishi and that was adapted into Anime series that aired back in October 2004. If you wish to see this title in English, you can do so by getting the DVDs at your local anime store since it&apos;s already out and dubbed by Funimation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story is about a 14-year old kid named Yukio (known to his friends as Koyuki) Tanaka who was just another ordinary japanese boy, until he met Ryosuke Minami while saving Ryosuke&apos;s dog, Beck, from some kids in the street.  Koyuki finds out that Ryosuke is a rock musician and he gets influenced by Ryosuke&apos;s music to play the guitar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koyuki and Ryosuke become very good friends and since Ryosuke wanted to make a band, he starts to look for some members. While going through some trials in the making of the band, they finally get together with three other boys: Yoshiyuki Taira(an awsome bass player), Tsunemi Chiba (Vocalist), and Yuji &quot;Saku&quot; Sakurai (Koyuki&apos;s good friend and the band&apos;s drummer). Koyuki becomes the guitarist and another vocalist for the band, and Ryosuke becomes the lead Guitarist. With this, BECK, is finally formed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The band goes through some hard trials as they try to become known not only locally, but also in the U.S.A. Also, having to compete with other bands and having sometimes difficulty dealing with each other is not easy on the band either. To make matters worse, Ryosuke seems to be involved with a very influencial music producer from America named Leon Sykes, which makes him get into very dangerous situations with him and his bodyguard. But even though they go through so many difficulties, the band is able to come strong and become well-known in the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, on to my review. I have to say this is one of the best animes I have watched. Even though I&apos;m not a fan of animes that include violence, language, and what not, I still enjoyed every single episode. I also have to say that even though I&apos;m not a fan of the type of rock that they played, some of the songs got me bobbing my head up and down. My favorite songs where &quot;Moon on the water&quot;, &quot;Face&quot;, &quot;Slip Out&quot;, and &quot;Brainstorm&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have only watched this anime in English and I have to say that the dubbing was great. I never thought Greg Ayres could sings so good. It was a little funny to me since before watching this I had been watching Kodocha, and it was as if I was hearing Tsuyoshi singing (ja,ja,ja!!). I was telling my brother &quot;Imagine a band where Kyo Sohma, Yuuki Sohma, Hatsuharu Sohma, Tsuyoshi Ohki, and Itzuki Koizumi where all playing and Tsuyoshi and Hatsuharu were the vocalists for the english version&quot; (If you don&apos;t know who this characters are, which I doubt, just check out Fruits basket, Kodocha, and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The animation was awsome (Except for the kissing scenes...such a waste but oh well.) And the guys are cute, with the exception of Chiba who wasn&apos;t that cute and Taira who, in the contrary, is very hot, at least to me.(I liked the guy so much that when the band started playing in the Greatful Sound Festival, and Taira took his shirt of, I wanted to run and grab it for myself [I know...I&apos;m such and idiot ja,ja,ja]) I find it funny that he&apos;s the second character Jerry Jewel dubs and I that I like that much (Kyo&apos;s my first one.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in short the series is great and I recommend it for people who have nothing against violence, language, and a bit of nudity. This is definitely not a family anime and probably not my type of anime, but I still love it. I recommend it a 100%!!</description>

  <title>I&apos;m back!!</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/3669.html</link>
  <description>Dang! I haven&apos;t been able to post anything since February. Not like I have many readers anyway, but still, I wanted to write for a long time. I have had many new things in my life now, like a job, and I&apos;m still in school so that takes most of my time. I&apos;m just glad I finally finished this semester so I&apos;m going to take it easy in the summer and just work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of work, I&apos;ve been having it hard there. I work at a dental lab where we manufacture dentures and stuff like that, but there is just so much to learn and so little time to be trained that I&apos;m a total failure there. I just feel so useless in there, so I have decided, if things don&apos;t get any better, as soon as I get my certificate (hopefully next year) I&apos;ll get a better job at an office or something. I know I shouldn&apos;t put myself down, but I just feel so stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that happened to me recently: (If things weren&apos;t stupid enough...)I met an idiot through myspace and he was trying to make me like him or something. Me, and idiot, at first believe all of his words, but men, I&apos;m I an idiot or what? I&apos;m just glad I didn&apos;t end up liking him. It&apos;s the first time an idiot like that fools me, but at least I was able to not do something stupid with him or anything. At least I can say I learned a valuable lesson, so for all those who have myspace or hi5 or anything like that, don&apos;t pay attention to fools like that. No matter if they tell you you are the best person in the world, most likely, you&apos;re not the only one they have said that to, if you know what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well...enough complaining, I&apos;ve been wanting to write more reviews on anime, but I just haven&apos;t had time. Three animes I recently watched and that I want to make a review of are Lovely Complex, Romeo x Juliet, and Beck. I have to say I loved them all so hopefully sometime this week I can make a review on Beck, which I just finished watching. Maybe I&apos;ll do it today in another post, but I don&apos;t think I have enough time since I barely got the computer for myself. Well, I&apos;ll try my best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, before I go, I just want to say that I was able to go to my first Fanime convention in San Jose, yesterday. I seriously wished I had had more time to see everything and buy things that I couldn&apos;t buy, but I&apos;m glad that at least I got myself a Fruits Basket sweatshirt, and a Sai (from Naruto) phone strap. I also got to see the rebuild of Evangelion, and I have to say I like it better than the original. I&apos;m planning on going to the SacAnime on August, and I want to cosplay as Yuuki Cross from Vampire Knight, but I don&apos;t really know since I&apos;m not a cosplay type of person. Anyway, well&apos; see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, got to go see if I can do that review now before it gets later. Sorry for this pointless post, but I just had to get my stress out. I feel better though. Hope that I can write more now during my free days (Not like I have many anyway) so see yah in another post!!</description>

  <title>La Corda D&apos;oro</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/3396.html</link>
  <description>I recently watched this anime because I had seen it around the web, but I was never really interested until like a week ago. Since I had nothing to do, I decided to watch the anime. Funily enough, I ended up loving it and finished watching it last monday. I&apos;ve never been a fan of classical music, but somehow, when I watched this anime, I started to get into the music and really apreciate it. After that, I started to listen to more classical music. This really is a beautiful anime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Note: I obtained part of the information through wikipedia and the other part from what I understood, so if I say anything that is not correct, it&apos;s probably just because I didn&apos;t understand correctly.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/asahi_roxy/pic/00001zbd/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/asahi_roxy/pic/00001zbd/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;216&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/asahi_roxy/pic/00002d57/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/asahi_roxy/pic/00002d57/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;211&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Corda D&apos;oro (or Kiniro no corda) is orginally a role-playing game that was adapted to a manga series written by Yuki Kure. The title means &quot;the golden string&quot; in italian. This manga was then adapted to an anime series that started airing in October 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story focuses on Hino Kahoko, a 17-year old girl who attends Seisou Academy. This Academy is devided into two sections, the section for the music students, and the one for the regular students. Kahoko is part of the latter section. One day, as she was going to her class, she met with a fairy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very long time ago, this fairy, whose name is Lili, was injured. The founder of the school found him and treated him. In return, Lili promised to bless the school he founded, with music. Now that Lili found Hino, he decided to place her in the councours, an annual music competition that was held at Seisou. He also gives her a magic violin that can be played, even if the person that plays it knows nothing about music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the councurs, Hino meets five handsome boys and a very shy girl; all who are part of the same competion. As the story develops though, these five boys start falling in love with her, but she seems to not really notice. The story, then, not only focuses on the trials that Hino has to encounter in the concours with her violin, but also on the cute moments she spends with each one of the boys, and the way the boys are afected by her, as they slowly realize their feelings for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This story, to me, is really cute, even though sometimes I got sick of the cheesy moments that the story had. Also, I never liked the fact that all of the boys had to fall in love with her because I&apos;ve never liked the &quot;reversed harem&quot; stories nor the &quot;harem&quot; ones. The funny thing though was that everytime one of the boys had a cute moment with Hino, I found myself cheering for him no matter who he was.(Exept for Yonoki-sempai who I never liked.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also found myself wanting to hug Hihara every time he showed up, even though my favorite one is Tsukimori. I really hope she ends up with Tsukimori, after all, there was all that &quot;violin romance&quot; story going around school, and since they both play the violin... well, you get the picture... But if she doesn&apos;t end up with him, it&apos;s ok if she ends up with Hihara or Tsuchiura ^^. They both were really nice to her since the biggining, and they are really hot (Not as hot as Len though ^_^) Keiichi, to me, is too young for her, but I like him too because he&apos;s very cute and funny. Yunoki... blah...didn&apos;t like him at all. He looks like a girl and I hated his attitude. He reminds me of Kyouya from Ouran, but I like Kyouya because he is way hotter and cooler than Yunoki-sempai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The music is also very beautiful. I don&apos;t get tired of listening to the opening and ending songs. They are so wonderful ^^. I also liked the songs the characters played. They were so beautiful that they sometimes gave me the goose bumps, specially the songs they played in the last selection. The &quot;Ave Maria&quot; Duet played by Tsukimori and Hino is also one of my favorites, and the last song that all of the boys play for Hino made me almost cry, not only because it was beautiful, but also because the series was ending T_T.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, overall the story is great and has become one of my favorite animes. I recomend it 100% [I also wish they made a second season, but I guess I can&apos;t wish for that since the animes that have come out lately don&apos;t even continue, to name a few: Ouran, Gakuen Alice, Fruits basket, Kare Kano, and so on... :( ]&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>My first anime review!: Magic Knight Rayearth</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/3263.html</link>
  <description>Well, I decided to make my first review on one of my favorite stories, and also, the one that got me into Anime...Magic Knight Rayearth. (Warning: This post may contain spoilers)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Magic knight Rayearth is a story made by Clamp in 1993 that was made into anime the next year. It&apos;s the story of three 14-year old girls that went to Tokyo tower in a fieldtrip. The three of them meet in Tokyo Tower, but as they were meeting, a strong light appeared and a voice begging them to save Cephiro--another world--was heard. They were transported to Cephiro instantly and in Cephiro, they meet Clef--a very strong sorcerer that taught magic to the strongest sorcerers in Cephiro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tells them that the pillar of Cephiro has summoned them in order to save Cephiro and that they are the Legendary Magic Knights. He also tells them to revive the Rune-Gods in order to fight their enemy, Zagato. Clef grants them magic and sends them on their journey, where they encounter many trials, and meet many people. In the end, their biggest enemy wasn&apos;t exactly Zagato, but someone stronger than him. Someone who the Magic Knights would have never thought they would fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first time I watched this anime was back in 1997 in Mexico. I was very little and got hooked to the story. When I moved to the US, I didn&apos;t hear of this title until 2003 where I found the manga and read it. After a while, I was able to buy the whole first and Second season and became a fan of the story. I have to say that the story is in my top 10 favorite animes because the story is so well-made. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plot is understandable and easy to follow. Each and every one of the characters changes as the story progresses. You’re able to see how the character changes for the better as he/she goes through a lot of events that change their perspective on what’s really happening on Cephiro. There’s also romance in the story and each of the love stories is very cute. You can’t help but have your favorite couple (on my part that would be Hikaru &amp; Lantis!)&lt;br /&gt;[The only thing is that the Umi/Clef relationship never sounded right to me, I rather have Umi/Ascot, but oh well, they never made it clear.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall …&lt;br /&gt;The plot is great&lt;br /&gt;The animation is great&lt;br /&gt;The characters are great&lt;br /&gt;The love stories are great&lt;br /&gt;The hot guys are great (lol—that’s only my opinion)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I RECOMMEND IT 100%!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now some pics from this story…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://c.myspace.com/Groups/00005/48/96/5816984_m.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://c.myspace.com/Groups/00005/19/96/5816991_m.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://c.myspace.com/Groups/00005/15/17/5817151_m.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://c.myspace.com/Groups/00005/10/27/5817201_m.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://c.myspace.com/Groups/00005/81/27/5817218_m.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Profile change and some other things...</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/2959.html</link>
  <description>Anyway, so I was finally able to change the look on my profile, yey!!! I want to start making something meaningful on my journal because it&apos;s pretty boring and not many people read it. I was thinking of making this journal in order for me to review the Anime and Manga that I have watched and read so far, along with information on those animes and mangas. This will help my writting skills--which need to be better since I&apos;m taking business classes for my certificate as an office assistant--, and also, it will be something I would like to do since I like Anime and Manga and have my own opinions about each and every story I have seen. Hopefully in some days (or weeks, if my lazyness gets to me) I&apos;ll be making my first anime or manga review. I will also keep on writting about myself if I need to, so if you see some weird post that doesn&apos;t have to do anything with Anime or Manga, that&apos;s just because I felt the necesity of talking about myself (sorry). Well, I guess this is all for now. See yah soon! ^_^</description>

  <title>I&apos;M SO HAPPY!!!</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/2761.html</link>
  <description>I know this is not interesting, but I couldn&apos;t help to write about my happiness. I just watched the TRC OVA and it was so great!!!! The best thing I have ever watched in TRC anime quality!!!! I have to say that it is way better than the anime version of the story, specially the fighting sequences, they were just breathtaking!!!! The opening was great and so was the closing credits, specialy that syaoran and sakura pic. Even though I don&apos;t understand that much japanese, I enjoyed watching it all the same!!! I really do hope that after the Tokyo arc, they can do the infinity arc. It&apos;s not that the infinity arc was a great arc, cause it was pretty boring, but I do want to see my Lantis animated. That would be just the best!!!! Anyway, enough with this boring post.</description>

  <description>oh well... so much for my contest. It doesn&apos;t really matter he,he.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, i&apos;m happy because i finally finished reading fruits basket and kare kano. Both are really good stories, specially fruits basket. I&apos;m in love with kyo even more now. He&apos;s so cool. And then the ending was really sweet too. Also,I&apos;m still reading Tsubasa Chronicle. It&apos;s getting really interesting with all the Fye situations going on and all. I can&apos;t wait until chapter 152 comes out. I wonder if the story is about to end. Anyway, i really don&apos;t have much to write, but i just did because i haven&apos;t done it in a while. ^_^</description>

  <title>Me and my ideas</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/2222.html</link>
  <description>Some days ago, i was doing some homework, but i go tired, so i started to ponder, and then.... an idea came up in my head. I want to know who people think is the cutest GUY in anime!!!! At first, i didn&apos;t take it really seriously because i know some people think that girls that think certain character is cute, are crazy, but then... there are some girls who actually think an anime character is cute, so, i&apos;m going to do this contest to see who the cutest anime GUY is, starting today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since tomorrow will be the start of &quot;the month of love&quot; (with valentine&apos;s day coming up and all) i was thinking of letting anyone that visits my livejournal participate by posting in a comment, 3 nominations for the cutest anime guy they think should be in this contest. Note that i&apos;m only allowing 3 nominations per person, so don&apos;t give more. You can post your nominations throught the whole month of february. By the begining of march, i will post a list with the nominees and start polls. Whoever wants to participate, can make 1 vote only, per week. Every week, there will be a character that i will eliminate from the list. This character will be eliminated for being the one with less votes. If by the end of a week, i notice that some characters are tied in the last places, then i will put a poll, for 3 days, for these characters, so people can vote for them, and the one  that has the lesser votes can be eliminated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t know how many weeks it will be until we get to know who the winner of the contest is, but by the end of it, we will be able to know who the cutest anime GUY is, in the whole anime world, based on your votes. If i didn&apos;t explain myself clearly, please ask me and i&apos;ll try to explain it to you. I hope that many will participate and look forward to your nominations starting today. If i see that i did not received any comments all throughout february, i will cancel the whole thing, so tell your friends about this so we can have a lot of nominations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this said, i will give my nominations (cause i wanna participate too ^_^ )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Lantis (Magic knight rayearth)&lt;br /&gt;-Kyo Sohma (Fruits Basket)&lt;br /&gt;-Roy Mustang (Full metal alchemist)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!</description>

  <description>Well... finally i show up. After 2 long months i decide to write something. I&apos;m back in school, and i got 3 classes, but they are really hard, and expensive. i&apos;ve just been in school for 3 days and i already had a lot of homework. I had it since last wednesday and i just finally finished!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This vacations were very fun. I actually got to finally watch fruits basket. I heard very good comments about the anime, so i decided to watch it, and i got completely hooked to it. In less than a month, my myspace background is a fruits basket background, same as my computer. i started to read the manga too. My winamp skin right now is from fruits basket, and i already bought the fruit&apos;s basket calendar for this year. I got a little obsessed, specially with kyo.... i&apos;m totally in love with the character, ji,ji, ^_^ (i&apos;ll soon make an avatar with him on it for my livejournal)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywayz, can&apos;t wait for Tsubasa Chronicles ch. 141 tomorrow. I wished they showed the magic knights in this world they&apos;re in now cause the only good thing in this world (Infinity) right now is my Lantis, and if there&apos;s nothing else soon, this world will get very boring. (the cool thing is that it seems we&apos;ll get to see Fay&apos;s past soon YEY!!!!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, i gotta go. I hope to write very soon cause with this homework.... it takes me forever to come back here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roxy</description>

  <description>oh, i&apos;m supper happy!!!!! Tsubasa Chronicle chapter 136 made my day. Finally Lantis and Eagle show up in this story. As it was going, i thought they would never appear, but now, as i saw them there, I almost jumped of joy!!!!! I just wish i knew japanese so i could translate but... I don&apos;t, so i have to wait for someone to post the translation somewhere so i know what&apos;s going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, i&apos;m on vacation right now from college. It&apos;s been a little hard for me this semester because i want to make up my mind for a career, and this semester i took a class specially to help me decide, but i still can&apos;t make up my mind. I hope that the next semester i can decide so i can finally start my studies.</description>

  <description>I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;I finally had the courage to say hi to him!!!!!!! i&apos;m so proud of myself!!!!!! Thank all of you guys for your support. I think it helped me a lot. I hope that from now on, i won&apos;t be so shy anymore with anyone because it really is lame of my part to be that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, changing the subject a bit, i read on thursday the new chapter from tsubasa chronicle and i think it&apos;s getting really interesting. I think they are close to the end because of so many truths that came out in this new chapter. I hope they put Fye&apos;s past soon cause i want to know what happened to him and why is he the way he is.</description>

  <title>ummm.....</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/1121.html</link>
  <description>So, i finally finish reading this manga called imadoki. Most of you might know about it. I actually liked it a lot. I like koki, he&apos;s hot. So, i think i&apos;m going to read the last volume again so i could just enjoy it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywayz, i just came back from this youth thing for my church and it was really interesting. I learned a lot about us, the young people, and how to be a leader to the younger teens in the church. I feel kinda bad though cause i saw this guy who a year ago i really liked but now i just see him as a cool guy, but even though we were able to talk in the past, i can&apos;t say hi to him now. I get really, really, shy near him and i think it&apos;s stupid but i can&apos;t help it. I think he thinks i&apos;m a jerk, but i&apos;m just so shy and everytime i don&apos;t say hi to him, it get worse and its just a neverending circle. I probably confused you guys, i even confuse myself but oh well, i can&apos;t do anything about it. I&apos;m going to see him next week and i better say hi, or my shyness would just get worse. I hate being shy and i hate it more that i can&apos;t do anything about it!!!!!!</description>

  <title>Similarities Cont....</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/936.html</link>
  <description>Anywayz, i&apos;m finally back. So, as i was saying...&lt;br /&gt;(There might be some spoilers, so consider yourselfs warned!!!!!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Mokona always bothers kurogane just like she always bothered Umi.&lt;br /&gt;-Fye is gentle just like Fuu.&lt;br /&gt;-Kurogane looks always mad just like Umi&lt;br /&gt;-Syaoran is always determined and heroic just like Hikaru&lt;br /&gt;-Syaoran is a clon from a original Syaoran just like Nova was a created from Hikaru&lt;br /&gt;-Kurogane is the tallest from the group just like Umi&lt;br /&gt;-And just so the list won&apos;t go too long, in the last episode that was aired this past weekend, Syaoran, Fye and kurogane fight against illusions (or something like that, i just saw some pics and summary about it) of different people they know. Syaoran fights Seishirou, Fye fights Ashura, which then becomes Fye so he ends up fighting against himself, and kurogane fights his dad. In one episode of MKR, Hikaru, Umi and Fuu, fight against some illusions as well of different people they knew. Hikaru fights agains her dog, Fuu fights against herself, and Umi fights her Parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... This is a pretty interesting thing to notice isn&apos;t it?</description>

  <title>similarities (MKR, TRC)</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/559.html</link>
  <description>so, recently, i have been watching Tsubasa Chronicle which is one of my favorite shows right now, and i noticed that TRC has a lot of similarities with Magic knight Rayearth (which is another one of my favorite shows as well). I will say some of the similarities now, and later in the day i will post more becase right now i&apos;m supposed to go to school and i don&apos;t have that much time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The main characters of TRC (excluding Sakura) are 3. Same with MKR&lt;br /&gt;-The 3 of them met when they started their journey&lt;br /&gt;-They have mokona as a guide&lt;br /&gt;-Syaoran and Hikaru have Rayearth, Fye and Fuu have Windom, and Kurogane and Umi have Celes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, for now, this are some of the similarities i find. I will post some more when i come back from school.</description>

  <title>Yesterday....what a day!!!!!</title>
  <link>http://asahi-roxy.livejournal.com/277.html</link>
  <description>Well, finally i decided to write something today. I actually was going to write something yesterday but didn&apos;t have time and decided to do it today. I went to school yesterday and there was this job fair which i didn&apos;t want to attend, but... my teacher made me go and i passed the most embarrasing moments of my life in that job fair. Let me give advice to those who are planning on going to a Job fair, never go without being prepared or you&apos;re going to have the most ugliest day of your lifes.&lt;br /&gt;Anywayz, this journal, i hope, will contain things of interest from anime mostly, and maybe sometime or another i might use it to get my frustration out, so you&apos;ll have to cope with that and my bad ortography. I still gotta work on this journal before i can post anything special so at least for today i just got here to manifest my stress to whoever is intersted (probably no one but i don&apos;t mind).</description>
