What's been happening.

Well, I haven't posted a blog in a while, so I thought I'd write one.

Today is my birthday and I am now officially 18 years old. This will not change anything and I'll still be doing the same things I do now. I have also been accepted into two colleges (the only two I applied at, so I got 100% acceptance): CSULB and CSUCI; I will be going to the latter one.

Anyway, back to anime. Since the last post, I have watched:

Fushigi Yuugi - Really boring and most of the plot twists were similar; also, the OVAs were uneeded because the storyline was the same as the series and nothing new was really added.

Zoids: Chaotic Century - First half of Zoids - This was one I remember from my childhood, so I was familiar with it. The story was good, but totally unrealistic.
Zoids: Guardian Force - Second half of Zoids - This was also good, but it became really weird when Zoid Eve showed up.

Rurouni Kenshin - This was a really interesting show. I really like how he reformed his ways after realizing that his actions were wrong. This was also unrealistic at some parts, but there was also some real history involved in this show. I liked it.

Zoids: New Century Zero - Probably my favorite Zoids series. I like how this was not a war but was just a series of competitions with an evil group.

YuYu Hakusho - The first few episodes are terrible, but once Yusuke starts training, the series picks up. However, the series dragged on after every season because he is continuously the best and then meets someone stronger and overcomes his challenges.

Zoids: Fuzors - The most unrealistic Zoids series. There is no way that big machines could combine when they were not built that way, plus they would not be able to combine in the way they do. However, the story was good and very enjoyable.

D. Gray Man - D Gray Man was amazing. Well, the ending was left open because the anime caught up to the manga and the director didn't want to make part of the story up, so it ended ubruptly. The story was good and I was not bored and didn't see very much repetition in it. Plus, the characters were hilarious.

Zoids: Genesis - The only Zoids series to not be dubbed in English. This was the most believable Zoids series because it was completely based on technology. However, the main character is only a kid, yet he is a tactical genius and skilled pilot at the end of the series.

Trigun - Trigun is hilarious as well as serious. Similar to Rurouni Kenshin because the main character vowed to never kill. It was very enjoyable.

Gundam SEED - Great story, great soundtrack, great anime. The only part I didn't like was that all of the explosions were pink. This anime stressed me out because of how intense it was, but it was definitely worth watching. I really like it.

Gundam SEED Destiny - Same as the first season, but I was a little disappointed when this series started out being focused around Athrun and not Kira. However, it was great and I liked it (but still, you would thing that Athrun would learn from his mistakes he made in the first season).

Bamboo Blade - Bamboo Blade was really funny. This wasn't very serious and it kept me cracked up the entire time. The energetic main character is always a plus when working with a high school drama, as well as the nonsocial character that is good at everything.

Gundam Wing - I was a little disappointed with this series after watching Gundam SEED. I should have watched this one first. I found it interesting how there were five main characters that started with the same goal without knowing of the others. However, the anime kept me a little bored because there was a lot of talking that wasn't really needed. And there wasn't really that much character development.

Vampire Knight - I was expecting Vampire Knight to have a similar story to the book Twilight (which I never read, but have heard a lot about). I was surprised when it was different (not completely, though). This seemed to present vampires as beings that only work for themselves and the smell of blood triggered their instincts.

And I am currently watched Ranma 1/2 - So far I've only seen the first few episodes, but it has been interesting. A boy turning into a girl when he touched cold water and another boy falling in love with the girl form without knowing the boy and girl are the same.

Wow, that is quite a bit of anime there.
Until next post, I'll see you later.
