No new updates on NeoToonami, well a little Christmas picture and if you want to see it just head over to NeoToonami.com. But on good old Dothackers was a new trailer for .hack//Link:
Oh yeah and that other thing in the title, I have a few tips for some of those hard missions in Accel 3. First off, there is going to be a mission that you need to get a 40 hit combo against Shino and Kankuro, both of which are very cheap, so to beat them just choose Itachi and pick Amaterasu as your jutsu then just constantly spam it on the both of them at the same time over and over, and if you can try to get some ougis in there and also try to kill Kankuro first because he likes to spam his poison jutsu... alot. And for the Kabuchimaru (or whatever you call him) mission then use Jiraiya and keep doing your circle, circle, circle combo with an ougi at the end of the combo, do that three times then just try to use the circle, circle, circle combo again and it should kill him.

Naruto Shippuden Narutimate Accel 3 Short Review
Ok so as some of you know, I got Accel 3 for Christmas and I just finished it today (I am writing this on the 27th). So I will just talk a bit about what I thought about the game.
First off, the graphics were probably just as good as Accel 2 and that was awesome, uhh... the gameplay is essentially the same but now you can only choose one Jutsu to use (you select it right before the battle) and now instead of up, up, circle or down, down, circle to use Jutsu you just press triangle then circle, and triangle twice then circle for specials or ougis or whatever you call them. The ougis are shorter in this game and they are even skippable, which in a 4 player battle could probably come in handy. The main feature of the game is the story mode and it has it's ups and downs... where do I start? Ok, well at the begining the 2D platforming stages mixed with the traditional fight here and there was pretty cool, but after playing the same platforming stage like 15 times I begged for an ordinary fight, but the game delivered by sort of balancing the two to make it alot less repetetive, but once I got into the filler arc then I actually started to get mad. The main reason is because the uhhh "boss battles"? all you really do is press square from a distance (throwing shuriken) with no chakra because all of the enemies in the platforming stages (yes all of the battles against the filler characters are in the platforming style, oh and there is a battle against Izumo and Kotetsu like that in the filler arc..) have the attack pattern: Throw Shuriken until enemy is close enough to spam the same close range attack. Also just like any other video game filler the bad guy can control the good guys so that you have some excuse to fight them, making the filler arc longer, normally it wouldn't annoy me so much, but that seems to be the standard for video game filler in anime games now. Anyway, I have to admit that final boss battle (that you fight three times) was pretty awesome, and I would have loved it if you fought other bosses like that instead of what we really got... The rest of the game was awesome but for some reason some characters didn't have any ougis but it wasn't too many characters so... it's not much of a negative. Once this game comes out in America and I actually have friends to play it with I'm sure the multiplayer will be awesome, so in short, it has it's negatives but it has way more positives.

This Week in Weekly Jump
Ok that break was needed and I love my presents, especially Accel 3, and that... Soul Carnival 2... uhhh... poster? I don't know but Bleach games come with little things alot and I am starting to like it... Anyway back to this post.
Naruto Chapter 477
Current Battle: Sasuke Vs Danzo
- Ok so we left off as Danzo used Kage Bunshin... no wait Karin actually says it was something else.
- Karin says that they are not in an illusion and even after Sasuke crushes Danzo twice she still isn't sure how he is just popping up again.
- So Sasuke uses Amaterasu but Danzo just blows it off (literally) with a wind technique.
- Sasuke summons a giant hawk... Tobi asks "when did you learn that?" and he obviously doesn't get an answer but for the sake of continuity I want to know.
- Danzo says what I have pretty much been thinking about Sasuke, he just throws his anger at anything, and that's kinda the reason Sasuke is one of my lesser favorite characters in Naruto.
- Sasuke charges at him for spouting the obvious truth and when Danzo tries to grab his neck, Sasuke somehow... rips off his arm and it disappears... yeah...
- The chapter ends as those weird crow things that Itachi used to use for Genjutsu fly around Danzo and Itachi appears right next to him.
Bleach Chapter 387
Current Battle: Shinji Vs Aizen
- The chapter starts as we see Tosen's hollow form in color... It's alot uglier in color...
- Then we get to see Shinji's awesome Bankai.
- Shinji's bankai somehow transports them to the "Inverted World", ahhh Shinji's Bankai makes total sense, since he is always writing backwards and standing upside down.
- Aizen realized a little secret about Shinji's Inverted World, he finds out that not only is up down, and left is right, but front is back... so he can just turn around to instantly get to Shinji.
- However Aizen didn't notice that the direction you are looking and the direction you attack are also inversed.
- Aizen get's used to it quickly and calls Shinji's Bankai "nothing but a child's game"
- We cut back to a dieing Tosen as his hollow powers are the only thing keeping him alive.
- Sajin says that he felt like him and Tosen would have to one day cross swords (anyone who is going to make a gay joke out of that just don't) just as Tosen said before to him.
- While Sajin and Hisagi have a nice tearful moment with Tosen, Aizen ruins it by just flat out killing Tosen.
- The chapter ends as Ichigo burst out of a crack in the sky ready to fight.

NeoToonami Update and New .Hack Manga In America
Alright, so this is one of little update posts I do, like when I first found out about NeoToonami and when I got the .hack//Link Demo, so let's get down to it.
Ok, first things first, NeoToonami... Ok so the new NeoToonami update is that the forum member working on SARA 3 has posted a little preview video of what she might look like. Heres the video:
Well, so far all I can say is that with that awesome TOM 5 and this SARA 3, NeoToonami is gonna be awesome. Just in case you don't know what NeoToonami is then it's basically a revival of good old Toonami. Oh and the post also says that they are looking for a 3D artist to help them make the space ship TOM 5 and SARA 3 will be in, I know I get like 2 visitors every month but if one of you actually happens to be a 3D artist then please head over to NeoToonami.com and give them a hand, if you just want to support NeoToonami then head over the website as well and join the forums.
Ok of course the other bit of news, I recently read on dothackers that several .hack manga and a new novel series will be brought to America. The manga series include .hack//Alcor (out now), .hack//4koma (out March 30th), and the .hack//Link manga (out on June 29th) and the new novel series is .hack//cell. I don't know much about .hack//Alcor but it looks cool, I never thought .hack//4koma would ever come to America so I read most of it online, and just like Tatsunoko Vs Capcom I'm gonna buy it on the day it comes out because of that, and the .hack//link manga coming to America is awesome, I can't wait to read it, oh and about .hack//cell, I haven't read any of the .hack novels so I don't really know what to say about it, but I plan to start reading A.I. Buster soon, and I guess if I like that one then maybe I'll read .hack//cell.

My Christmas List
Ok, well I am not feeling so good right now (I get sick around Christmas time every year...) and turning on my computer means that my room will get at least 20 or 30 degrees hotter so I'm just going to do a short post, sorry but I am really, really tired and I can hardly even talk so let's just get down to it, and as the title states this is a list of what I am getting for Christmas, with my limit set at $300.
- Naruto Shippuden: Narutimate Accel 3
System: PSP
Bought where: Play-Japan
Price: $54.29
Ok so it's obvious that since Accel 3 is one of the biggest Naruto games of the year and it was released in December tons of people are getting it for Christmas. I seriously can't wait to play this because I loved Accel 2. I heard the little gripes people had with the game but honestly those things don't really matter too much to me so I will most likely still enjoy Accel 3, also it's the first thing I'm gonna play on Christmas morning.
- Bleach Soul Carnival 2
System: PSP
Bought where: Play-Asia
Price: $48.90
Well, I never really wanted to buy the original Soul Carnival at first because freakin Play-Asia categorized it under that BS genre "action" which meant it could have been any kind of game and judging by the screenshots it looked like an RPG and I do not import RPG games because it's less fun when you can't understand the story and for several other reasons. But then I bought Heat the Soul 6, which had a demo of Soul Carnival 2 and I decided "meh, why not?" and it wasn't an RPG, it was a good old hack n' slasher, you know, a beat em' up with swords? Anyway I am a sucker for a good hack n' slasher so I bought the original and damn, it blew me away, so naturally when the sequel finally got a release date of December 10th, I knew I had to buy it.
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Senaka wo Takuseshi Mono
System: PSP
Bought where: Play-Asia
Price: $52.90
Well, I always thought that there should be more 1) Fullmetal Alchemist fighting games and 2) more Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood games, so naturally since this is both of those things I just had to get it. I hear it had characters from pretty late in the series, like past where the original anime went, (while it was still canon...) so that's always a plus, and there is just something about those Brotherhood Wii games that just shout "Don't import me!", I'm serious there is just something that makes me feel like it is a text heavy, choose your own adventure type game, and obviously that would be no fun if you didn't know the language it was in.
- Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix + Ultimate Hits
System: PS2
Bought where: Play-Japan
Price: $34.10
I put the Ultimate Hits on there because I'm pretty sure I got the Ultimate Hits version, and if your wondering what the heck Ultimate Hits means, well it's like a step above PS2 the Best, you know those games that are so awesome that they make new, cheaper copies so that people who didn't buy it before can enjoy it for a lower price. And yea I said before that I don't import RPGs, well this one has English voice acting so... yeah... I was always up and down about getting this game, like I would really want it, but then when I got the money to buy it I would always seem to find something else and put it aside, so I just decided that before it became hard to find I would just get it for Christmas.
- Battle Stadium D.O.N.
System: PS2
Bought where: Play-Japan
Price: $19.49
Well, just like Final Mix + I have sort of been pushing this game to the side, but for years longer than FM+, I have been looking for this game on the Gamecube for a price under like $60 pretty much ever since I started importing Gamecube games, which by the way was a long time ago, and you know what? I'm still pretty sure it hasn't dropped a penny in price since then so I just decided to get it on the PS2 for Christmas, I mean it's only $20, I'm sure it's not that bad for me to regret getting it when it was a $20 import, and price doesn't determine how bad it is as well, I got Konjiki no Gash Bell Makai no Bookmark on Play-Asia for like $2, and it is one of my favorite Gameboy games ever.
- Yu Yu Hakusho Forever
System: PS2
Bought where: Play-Japan
Price: $9.05
Ok so like I said in previous posts, I have been watching ALOT of Yu Yu Hakusho lately, and I actually just got back from buying the fourth and final season of Yu Yu Hakusho today. And since I am so obsessed with it I had to do my research and find out if there were really any good Yu Yu Hakusho games, as it turns out I found 3 that peaked my interest, this one, the next item on my list, and an old Genesis Yu Yu Hakusho game made by Treasure that I sadly can't find anywhere. I read on Wikipedia (and since I read it from there I am not sure if this is true) that Yu Yu Hakusho Forever was the top selling game in Japan for a while, and if so then I seriously can't wait to play it.
- Yu Yu Hakusho Shitou! Ankoku Bujutsukai 120% Full Power
System:PS2
Bought where: Play-Japan
Price: $19.49
Well, this is the other Yu Yu Hakusho game that peaked my interest, it's actually a port of a Yu Yu Hakusho arcade game, and I was actually planning on getting a multiplatform arcade stick for my ps2 and ps3 for Three Kings Day, so that's a plus. I really don't know much about the game except that I am pretty sure you can actually play as koenma, I'm serious I could have sworn that I saw him in a character roster video, and if you really can then I think it would be interesting.
- Densetsu no Stafi: Taiketsu! Dire Kaizokudan
System: DS
Bought where: Play-Asia
Price: $25
Ok, two things, if you call it Stafy, like I do then don't throw your hate comments at me since I just copied and pasted it from Play-Asia, and the reason there is no amount of cents after the $25 is because I only remember it being around $25 since it was on sale when I bought it but now it's like $50, so I'm not sure if it was $24 or $26 or even $23 when I bought it, but it really doesn't matter. Ok, so the reason I wanted Stafy is because I like Kirby, therefor Stafy peaked my interest and a friend of mine imported it a long time ago so I got to see it for my self and after seeing it, I really wanted it. Also, the reason I didn't buy the American version was because 1) at the time the Japanese version was cheaper and 2) they made tons of changes in the American version and I just sort of want the original, also I am one of those people that got pissed when they changed his name to Starfy in America...
Wow, scratch out all of that stuff I said at the beginning about this being a short post... I seriously didn't think it would be this long... Well, that's only a good thing, remember I post every other day, and please tell your friends about my blog.
- Naruto Shippuden: Narutimate Accel 3
System: PSP
Bought where: Play-Japan
Price: $54.29

This Week in Weekly Jump
Ok I am very sick, and I need my rest, and I have a party to go to... Let me just get this out of the way...
Naruto Chapter 476
Current Battle: Sasuke Vs Danzo
- Ok so we left off as Sasuke is about to fight Danzo, and Danzo activates that weird arm of his... and now it's covered in Sharingan eyes... that would suck if it were windy...
- Sasuke asks Danzo if he was the one who ordered Itachi to kill all of his people, but Danzo just charges at him.
- Sasuke easily blocks Danzo's attack and this giant hand (obviously the power of Susanoo...) coming out of Sasuke's back grabs Danzo.
- We cut back to Naruto and Kakashi decides to go with Sai to stop Sakura while Naruto and Yamato head back to Konoha, but then we get barraged with flashbacks about Sasuke...
- Seriously, there is like 4 pages of little flashbacks... Like a different one each panel...
- Sasuke keeps asking Danzo the same question but he simply doesn't answer...
- Once Sasuke gets his answer he decides to squeeze harder almost killing Danzo while he talks about how people like Itachi are for the greater good and whatnot...
- The chapter ends as Sasuke deals the final blow only to find out that the real Danzo is right behind him.
Bleach Chapter 386
Current Battle: Sajin Vs Tosen
- Ok, so Tosen reveals his full hollow form which is... well to be honest really creepy...
- Now in his full hollow form he can see Sajin, but I thought that his visor could let him see... like in Star Trek... I mean he was "LOOKING" at screens during the Hueco Mundo arc...
- We get a flashback about Tosen's past, but just a little one...
- Ooooh, what a surprise, Sajin actually knew about Tosen's hatred for the world a long time ago.
- Tosen practically destroys Sajin's bankai, which as mentioned in previous chapters would hurt him too.
- Just as Sajin accepts his death, Hisagi comes out of nowhere and stabs Tosen right in the mask.
- The chapter ends as Tosen's vision begins to fade out...
I post every other day, please tell your friends about my blog... blah, blah, blah, now I can rest again...

Another Gaming Otaku Recommends
I should probably do these weekly for this month since it is the holiday season... Also I don't have any ideas for lists right now... don't worry though I always come up with new ones.
Websites:
This is a list of Websites I go to for buying things like Imported Games or Anime DVDs and whatnot, because I mean there is an online shopping world beyond Amazon and eBay.
Imports:
-Play-Asia.
Well, Play-Asia is not just for games, they have alot of movies, books, and even a bit of Gashapon straight from Asia. Play-Asia is where I get most of my newer imports, and I never buy used items on Play-Asia because there really isn't that much used stuff there, I mean every now and then maybe but not very often. The prices may be "outrageous" but hey, almost everywhere else is about the same price or maybe a dollar or two less, so it's not Play-Asia, because Importing new games is expensive no matter where you go, and in Play-Asia's defence they do have alot of sales, of course not as much as Rightstuff, but still alot. The shipping is so-so, if you get the cheapest shipping it could come in any time between 1-5 weeks, and yes I did have a game that took 5 (and a half) weeks to come in. But whenever I order Christmas presents from there I pick the $20 shipping and it takes about 3-4 days, and yes I said 3-4 days from ORDERING it, not 3-4 days after it ships, no that's 3-4 days after I clicked the confirm purchase button. So it has it's ups and downs, but I love Play-Asia and it seemed to comfort me when my local anime store that happened to sell imported games closed down...
- Play-Japan
I forgot what Play-Japan used to be called, I think Japan-export... I don't remember but they re-opened as Play-Japan and I love Play-Japan just as much, if not more than what it originally was. This website is for the older imports, you know the harder to find ones. Also if you can't find it there I think they have an eBay store that still goes by the name Japan-export... their account name might have a few numbers after it too... Anyway I buy my old PS2 imports and whatnot here, and I mean the old hard to find ones, like the Gantz game that I got from their eBay account or the Blood+ games I got from the website itself. The shipping is really fast but there is one problem, it adds up a little too much, I mean even if I ordered like 5 or 6 games (some of them were dirt cheap) $42 (or was it $45?) is waaaaay to much for the cheapest shipping. Oh and they have tons of used games here and I rarely find myself buying new games off of Play-Japan (the very first new game I bought from there was Accel 3, I seriously can't wait for Christmas...) so it's like the opposite of Play-Asia.
Anime DVDs:
- Rightstuf
I ONLY buy anime DVDs from Rightstuf, Best Buy, and occasionally every now and again from Amazon, but I always check Rightstuf first because for the most part it is the cheapest, the regular price for everything on Rightstuf is usually Best Buy price, now your thinking "but if that's true then why the hell do I shop and Rightstuf, I could just go to Best Buy, not have to wait for my DVDs to come in, and not pay shipping." yeah that is true in some cases (like the Yu Yu Hakusho DVDs are gonna be $25 on Rightstuf because of shipping and they are $25 at Best Buy so I just buy them there) but Rightstuf has all sorts of weekly sales, and I am gonna be honest, some of which kinda suck and I find myself viewing the list of things on sale and I swear some of that stuff is more expensive than it was before the sale, but sometimes there are awesome deals like Viewtiful Joe DVDs $2 each, and D. Gray Man Season 1 (parts 1 and 2) for $50 (they were normally like $100 or $110). Oh, and the shipping... hmmm, I don't remember the prices but they were pretty cheap and I think until the 18th the cheapest shipping is free, but I do know that they don't take too long to arrive, usually less than a week. Oh and speaking of the 18th, their 12+ Days of Anime Savings sale ends on the 18th, it should have info about that on the main page.
Sorry if this seemed short, I am quite busy, and not to mention tired, also I don't like to think that by doing this list I am a sell out I mean I like and dislike all of these websites in different ways, so I recommend them but they are far from perfect, but then again, nothing is perfect.

My Top 5 Favorite Fighting Game Series
Well the title says it all, a list of my favorite Fighting Game Series (if you know me well then you should know what number 1 is).
5. Virtua Fighter
Ok, so this one is number 5 because I really almost wasn't going to put it on this list at all but I love Virtua Fighter 2 on my Genisis so I decided to put it on as number 5. Well if you say the characters are unoriginal, well the unoriginal people just copied Virtua Fighter because it was there first. Oh and the fact that you jump like your on the moon is just awesome for me, I mean I liked it in Halo... Anyway, I really don't have much else to say except, what console were Virtua Fighter 3 and 4? I have only seen 1, 2, and 5.
4. Tekken
I'm sorry this is number 4 on the list, I know a certain friend who would kill me for putting it as number 4 but at least hear me out, Tekken is pure awesomeness but I am not the biggest fan of Tekken, I do remember it being in arcades when I was younger but until my friend introduced it to me I didn't play it alot. Anyway Tekken is very unique and it is THE Arcade Fighter that even in Tekken 6 still has all of that Arcade feel. I liked the Campain mode of Tekken 6 at first but probably the day after I typed up my Tekken 6 first impression post I found it getting a little annoying and frustrating. Oh and about that unique comment, well I mean you can play as people from practically around the whole world and you can not only play as a Kangeroo but also a Panda, a PANDA, and yes the Panda is one of my favorite characters.
3. Street Fighter
Ok this one is obvious, I always knew about Street Fighter about as far back as I can remember because it's just so universally known. I might as well just say this right now that my favorite Street Fighter Character is Sakura and no not because of the reasons you people are thinking... and if you weren't thinking that, sorry I just get that alot... but the reason I like playing as Sakura is because I like playing as Ryu and Sakura is just basically a faster Ryu. One thing I don't like about Street Fighter is that they have to remake the same game over and over so if I bought the original than everyone laughs at me because they have the super hyper ultra alpha 4.5 beta anniversary edition... I mean I don't mind Super Street Fighter 4 but when we have like 10 versions of Street Fighter 4 with no Street Fighter 5 in sight I am gonna be pissed...
2. Mortal Kombat
I love Mortal Kombat, not just because of it's over the top gore, but also because I love almost all Mortal Kombat games New and Old (I said almost because of Shoalin Monks...) and somehow I still have not played Mortal Kombat Vs DC... I know I should have played it forever ago but it was that or Little Big Planet... and ever since I just haven't had the money to spare on it... oh and Armogedon has like one of the biggest rosters I have ever seen, with all sorts of merable characters. Oh and please do not mention the Mortal Kombat movies... I would rather not remember those... Also if you can actually pull off those fatalities then kudos to you because I certainly can't, I mean Mortal Kombat is like the king of complicated moves... and spelling everything with a K....
1. Darkstalkers
Yeah, if you know me then this one should have been really obvious, I mean Jedah, Felicia, and Morrigan are like my favorite fighting game characters of all time. Well where do I start? Ok, Darkstalkers is basically an underrated gem made by Capcom and almost forgotten, I mean come on, they are suck teases, they just forget about Darkstalkers and then just put Morrigan in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom with not future plans of releasing a new Darkstalkers game. I mean COME ON! But, I am sure that one day we will get our next-gen Darkstalkers game... someday... anyway, Darkstalkers is basically a fighter with the Capcom fighting engine and awesome original characters that are straight out of all kinds of folklore and mythology, of course the roster isn't as big as most fighting games but I still love it and if I were to get an arcade machine then it would be a Darkstalkers arcade machine because I just love it so much. I cannot explain properly how awesome Darkstalkers is until you play it yourself, but it is just great... and one can only dream for a new Darkstalkers game...
5. Virtua Fighter
Ok, so this one is number 5 because I really almost wasn't going to put it on this list at all but I love Virtua Fighter 2 on my Genisis so I decided to put it on as number 5. Well if you say the characters are unoriginal, well the unoriginal people just copied Virtua Fighter because it was there first.

New American Live Action Death Note Movie...
Ok so let me start this off by saying everytime there is an American live action anime movie people tell me to not pick on it until it comes out but you know what? I do that every time, yes I actually shove my mean comments aside and hope for the best but I have yet to be pleased by any of these movies, with the acception of the live action Blood the Last Vampire movie, if you didn't like it well then sorry but I loved it. Oh and since Wikipedia is a terrible source for proof, I will instead give you a link to Anime News Network reporting that... well... *sigh* ok, let me try to just get this out... Zac Efron is involved in the movie... I have yet to see anywhere confirming that he is playing Light... but all I can say is that I really hope not, anyway here's the link. I also heard on the Escapist forums that they Americanized the names, now I can't confirm this 100%, because it was a guy on the Escapist forum claiming that his friend on IMDB let him see the script and he summarized it, and if he is right then Light is now Luke, Sayu is now Sarah, Soichiro is now John, Light's mom is dead, and their last names are Murray instead of Yagami, oh and if you want to read the supposed summarry I bookmarked the topic so here's the link.
Ok so I am not to worried or upset especially since after Dragon Ball Evolution I still love DBZ just as much as I did before so I'll probably just ingore this movie and stick with the Japanese live action movies. I already discussed and nitpicked the crap out of that supposed script with three different friends so I think that reading it yourself will give you a good enough opinion of your own. Also, those Zac Efron fans out there, I wasn't commenting on his acting when I said I hope he isn't in the movie I'm just pissed that there is a posibility that all of the stupid teenage girls who love Zac Efron are going to watch the American Death Note movie and then possibly read the original manga and either hate it, or get freaked out and then... the controversy begins... and so you see it won't attract that crowd if Zac Efron isn't in it. Sorry if this post seems a bit short, I am quite busy over weekends and as I am writing this I have had a very long day and I want to go to sleep, I will try to make it up with a list but right now all I can think of is Yu Yu Hakusho and Accel 3...
Anyway, I post every other day and be sure to tell your friends about my blog since I only have like 2 visitors a day...

This Week in Weekly Jump
Here we go, it's all here now, sorry it took so long to get the Bleach chapter.
Naruto Chapter 475
Current Battle: Danzo Vs Tobi
- Ok so while Danzo prepares his arm for battle his two... uhhh... assistants? Or whatever they are called, attack Tobi.
- And obviously as we saw before Tobi can pass through any physical object so... yeah they can't even hurt him at all.
- They realize that Tobi at least has to become solid to attack and they can only hit him with a counter attack.
- Turns out one of those guys (the one with the blond hair) is from the Yamanaka clan and I think that since the other guy used poisoned bugs in his attack then he must be in the Aburame clan.
- Tobi ummm... absorbed (yes that is the word they used...) the guy with the poison bugs... but Tobi's right arm got infected by his technique.
- Uhhh... if I'm looking at this right Tobi removed his arm and dropped it on the ground then absorbed the other guy... Wow I would love to see how DisneyXD is going to censor that.
- It then cuts back to Naruto and Gaara as Gaara leaves some very interesting words about friendship for Naruto.
- The chapter ends as Tobi finds and brings Sasuke to Danzo and it tells us that the epic battle will be in color.
Bleach chapter 385
Current Battle: Sajin Vs Tosen
- Ok so we left off when Sajin used his bankai on Tosen.
- Then of course we cut to the battle with Aizen and Shinji where Aizen actually unsheates his sword.
- We cut back to Sajin and Tosen right before Shinji unleashes either his Sikai or Bankai, with "fall" as his command, and Sakanade as his Zanpakutou's name.
- Sajin actually hits Tosen and messes up his arm pretty bad but he gets it back to normal like nothing.
- Oh wow, apparently Tosen only joined the Soul Reapers to get revenge on the Soul Reaper who killed his best friend so I guess he did have a reason to join the Arrancars.
- Because of that information Sajin can now bring himself to kill Tosen.
- The chapter ends as Tosen unleashes his Ressurection.
Ok, I post every other day and tell your friends about my blog... blah, blah, blah...

NeoToonami and .Hack//Link Demo
Ok let's start with what was first in the title, NeoToonami. Well, NeoToonami is basically a revival of the awesomeness that was the Toonami block on Cartoon Network, but NeoToonami isn't made by the Toonami staff or anyone official, it's just the dedicated fans who miss it so much. I for one support NeoToonami and if you want anymore information on NeoToonami since I was quite vague about it just visit NeoToonami.com
Now onto the .Hack//Link Demo! Ok if you don't know what .Hack is... uhhh... wow It's hard to explain but in simple terms it's an RPG series by CyberConnect2 and their newest and sadly their final game in the series is .Hack//Link on the PSP. And the demo just recently came out on the Japanese PSN (Playstation Network), so naturally since I have a Japanese PSN account I just had to download it and play it right when I found out. And wow I have to say I am sad that .Hack//Link is going to be the final game but I can say that from what I played it is going out with a bang. It was alot like G.U. with the real time combat but it had more... I guess I wanna say "tag-team" elements. Also those "team special" things are so awesome that I seriously couldn't wait to see the "special" for each character. Oh and speaking of characters, you had a choice of 2 partners (technically 3 since Kite is your partner in the tutorial part...) and 3 levels (4 if you count the tutorial one). The two partners are Haseo from .Hack//G.U. and Tsukasa from .Hack//SIGN (yes the anime series) and I sort of confirmed it was Tsukasa and not Elk from the original .Hack series because of his "team special"... thing... sorry I really don't know what to call it. I seriously hope this game comes out in America but I do think it will since the other games did and this is the last in the series so they really don't have much to lose by releasing one more game... at least I hope. For more info on .Hack//Link and anything else .Hack related then visit: dothackers.net

Gaming Otaku Recommends
Ok wow I actually finished my project earlier than I thought so I actually can post today, now if only people actually read my blog =(. Anyway here's a list of a few things that are so awesome that I just have to recommend for anime/video game fans like me.
Anime DVDs:
- Yu Yu Hakusho Season Box Sets
Ok I was at Bestbuy a few days ago looking for the next Naruto Uncut season Box set since had just came out but Bestbuy sucks at keeping inventory as it was nowhere in sight, so I looked around for something else that would entertain me for just as long as 10 hours and I stumbled upon the super cheap ($25 at Bestbuy $20 on Rightstuf) Yu Yu Hakusho season 1 box set, remembering the awesomeness of Toonami when I was a kid so I thought "hmmm... for the money this might not be half bad." And just wow... I instantly fell in love with the series all over again and since I only remember bits and pieces of it then I actually for the most part, don't know what is going to happen next. Oh yeah and this is $25 dollars for 1/4 of the whole series, that's ridiculously cheap, and like I said before if you buy them on Rightstuf it's $20, but since I am really impatient and want to keep watching and watching I buy them at a store instead of online.
- Naruto Season Box Sets
Well these might not be a better deal than the Yu Yu Hakusho box sets but still those first 25 episodes of Naruto uncut were well worth the $35 I paid for them, again that's Bestbuy price, oh and Bestbuy price of season 2 (or like season 1 part 2 section 1 and a half... you'll get that joke in a minute...) is only $27. But they are oddly titled, they don't just call it Season 1 and Season 2 (like what it really is supposed to be called) no they have some complicated name for it like Season one part 1 or something like that. If you already have the Uncut Box Sets then there is no reason to switch to the season ones, it's not like the special features are that good or anything, but if you don't have the Uncut Box Sets then the season Box Sets are a better deal.
Video Games:
- Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
Oh man if you want the best Shippuden Clash of Ninja game (GNT4 fans, notice how I didn't insult your favorite CoN game by saying SHIPPUDEN) then defiantly go with Revolution 3. It's basically EX3 with more characters, more specials, more balanced gameplay, online mode, and best of all for people who don't speak Japanese, it's in English. The Online mode is surprisingly really good, with little to no lag on most battles, and even if there is any, it doesn't make the game unplayable. The stage transitions can be awesome or just annoying but I think they are only annoying when your playing online, oh and same thing with obstacles except those annoy me all the time, but don't count those as actual negatives of the game since you can take them out by just going into the options menu. I'm sure I have much more to say about the game but for right now if you want to hear it's awesomeness then my video review should be here on an earlier post.
- Persona 3 FES
"What's this doing here?" you ask, oh you thought this list was simply newer things only? No way, I mean I could put Starfox 64 on this list if I wanted to. Anyway On these lists I will try to put a game on here that will suck away your time like a vacuum the size of a building. This of course fits this category since I have at least 10 hours of gameplay on it and I'm only on like the second or third boss. if you don't know about Persona or any other Shin Megami Tensei games then it's basically an RPG with Anime style cutscenes, way less grinding than Disgaea, sim aspects (which for the most part are taken out of the new psp version), and hours of gameplay. Oh and if your wondering what FES stands for I forgot... but it's basically the expanded edition with like a second story mode after you beat the first story mode. For RPG fans this is a must have, for Shin Megami Tensei fans, you should already have this game.
Well there you go reader (notice how that wasn't plural... *sigh*) I actually posted today. And remember I post every other day and please tell your friends about my blog.
Anime DVDs:
- Yu Yu Hakusho Season Box Sets
Ok I was at Bestbuy a few days ago looking for the next Naruto Uncut season Box set since had just came out but Bestbuy sucks at keeping inventory as it was nowhere in sight, so I looked around for something else that would entertain me for just as long as 10 hours and I stumbled upon the super cheap ($25 at Bestbuy $20 on Rightstuf) Yu Yu Hakusho season 1 box set, remembering the awesomeness of Toonami when I was a kid so I thought "hmmm... for the money this might not be half bad." And just wow... I instantly fell in love with the series all over again and since I only remember bits and pieces of it then I actually for the most part, don't know what is going to happen next. Oh yeah and this is $25 dollars for 1/4 of the whole series, that's ridiculously cheap, and like I said before if you buy them on Rightstuf it's $20, but since I am really impatient and want to keep watching and watching I buy them at a store instead of online.
- Naruto Season Box Sets
Well these might not be a better deal than the Yu Yu Hakusho box sets but still those first 25 episodes of Naruto uncut were well worth the $35 I paid for them, again that's Bestbuy price, oh and Bestbuy price of season 2 (or like season 1 part 2 section 1 and a half... you'll get that joke in a minute...) is only $27. But they are oddly titled, they don't just call it Season 1 and Season 2 (like what it really is supposed to be called) no they have some complicated name for it like Season one part 1 or something like that. If you already have the Uncut Box Sets then there is no reason to switch to the season ones, it's not like the special features are that good or anything, but if you don't have the Uncut Box Sets then the season Box Sets are a better deal.
Video Games:
- Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
Oh man if you want the best Shippuden Clash of Ninja game (GNT4 fans, notice how I didn't insult your favorite CoN game by saying SHIPPUDEN) then defiantly go with Revolution 3. It's basically EX3 with more characters, more specials, more balanced gameplay, online mode, and best of all for people who don't speak Japanese, it's in English. The Online mode is surprisingly really good, with little to no lag on most battles, and even if there is any, it doesn't make the game unplayable. The stage transitions can be awesome or just annoying but I think they are only annoying when your playing online, oh and same thing with obstacles except those annoy me all the time, but don't count those as actual negatives of the game since you can take them out by just going into the options menu. I'm sure I have much more to say about the game but for right now if you want to hear it's awesomeness then my video review should be here on an earlier post.
- Persona 3 FES
"What's this doing here?" you ask, oh you thought this list was simply newer things only? No way, I mean I could put Starfox 64 on this list if I wanted to. Anyway On these lists I will try to put a game on here that will suck away your time like a vacuum the size of a building.

This Week in Weekly Jump
Ok just as a heads up, since I write these posts the day before they are put on my blog, I will be quite busy with a school project on Sunday (the day I write Monday's post) so it may be a shorter post than usual or if I really want to get my work done then I may not even post at all. Sorry, but it is worth a ton of points on my grade and I have been neglecting to do it for weeks. Anyway, now onto today's post, which is a summary of this week's Naruto and Bleach chapter.
Naruto Chapter 474
Current Battle: none
- Ok we left off as things were getting interesting and Sai was telling Naruto about some truth Sakura couldn't reveal.
- What she didn't tell him was part of what she told him... And by that I mean instead of what she said (which was that it was ok for Naruto to kill Sasuke because of her feelings and ect.) she was supposed to say that the whole village decided on hunting Sasuke down.
- Apparently the suspected reason she didn't tell Naruto the truth was because she wanted to kill Sasuke herself.
- Uhhh wow I am really reading like 5 pages at a time and not finding anything important enough to put in a summary, or maybe I'm just lazy...
- Ok here's something important... apparently Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro all meet up with Naruto and the others to discuss what happened at the 5 Kages summit meeting while Tobi catches up with Danzo.
- Since Danzo is pretty much a traitor now, Kakashi is most likely going to take the possition of Hokage for a while.
- Gaara gives Naruto a speech about what he must do as Sasuke's friend as we cut back to Tobi and Danzo.
- The chapter ends as Danzo is about to release the seal of his right arm... I don't know what that means but it sounds awesome.
Bleach chapter 384
Current Battle: Tosen Vs Sajin
- We left off as Tosen was about to release his awesome hollow powers.
- The mask looks kinda weird and cool at the same time, like just a blank white mask with a line going down the center.
- Hisagi gets owned by Tosen's hollow awesomeness.
- Tosen makes some speech about how he is no different from Ichigo having hollow powers and blah, blah, blah...
- Hisagi comes back and hits Tosen from behind while he is talking to Sajin.
- Hisagi has a little flash-back about all of the things Tosen taught him in the past and he even explains how he got those scars on his eye (against a hollow on a mission in the world of the living).
- After going through the kind of questions I would like to have answered about Tosen (like, if he was such an awesome good guy and all devoted to justice and whatnot then why is he a bad guy now?) he simply ignores Hisagi and jabs him in the gut.
- The chapter ends as Sajin releases his Bankai.
Remember I post every other day and please tell your friends about my blog... and whatever I'm so tired...

Top 5 Characters People Never Play Fair With In Revolution 3
Wow long title... But yeah this is going to be a list of characters in Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 that people CAN play fair as but simply choose not to. Believe me this is in no way an insult to Tomy for "Bad Design" or me yelling at them for "making [Insert character name here] too cheap" because for the most part I can play fair with these characters and Tomy did a wonderful job making this game.
5. Kisame
Ok Kisame is number 5 because half the people I run into using him are cheap and the other half are not. I can't properly explain how people can be cheap with Kisame because I can't do it but I've seen it. From what I saw I'm pretty sure they just spam his Samehada attack and then when your down they backup and get ready to do it again the second you get up. Sure that attack is slow but somehow they learn to time it so well that they can win the battle by just using that special, also when someone is cheap with Kisame, that is when you really start to worry about and notice that he is stealing your chakra with every hit (every attack that he uses Samehada that is).
4. Sasori (true form)
When I was playing EX3 with my friends I noticed Sasori's hilariously placed spear attack and would mess around with my friends using it over and over to make them laugh. I did that as a joke and I usually ended up losing if I did that but I realized that people on Wi-fi do that alot but faster and they combine it with other long range attacks. At first I just ran into one person doing that thinking that I would never see another Sasori player again because that was the first time I had battled against someone using Sasori on Wi-fi but no I ran into at least 3 or 4 more of them, like an infestation of long range spear attacking using jerks. Seriously I never thought you could be cheap with Sasori but apparently you can... and people do it alot.
3. Ten-ten
Ok in EX3 I played as Ten-ten one time and realized that her attack did so little damage I felt like if I did a 30 hit combo my opponent would still have full health but then I played the game with a friend and he insisted on picking Ten-ten and just wow... he was able to pull of like a 150 hit combo by just button mashing, it was ridiculous. When I got Revolution 3 he was so happy to play as Ten-ten again and he was able to be just as cheap as he was before. Thankfully I haven't seen any people on Wi-fi playing as Ten-ten so it's not much of a problem. One warning if you do run into a Ten-ten player online, then do not let her use her spear... staff... thing, because once she pulls it out, your screwed, so if you want to avoid it then simply use a combo or a single attack that is strong enough to knock her down and that will knock the weapon out of her hands.
2. Shino
Ok Shino players you should be laughing right now thinking "Shino wasn't number one?". Well, no he isn't but if you have ever either played as him or played against him you should know why he is so cheap. Ok let me explain how people are cheap with Shino... well... he has an attack that he can use practically 6 times in a row that summons a bunch of bugs that drain chakra to follow the opponent, now if you do it 6 times in a row all 6 batches of bugs will remain on the floor. So basically it makes it extremely hard to get to him, and if you think "I'll just use my air special to hit him" well like I said THE BUGS DRAIN CHAKRA so using specials is sort of impossible. Once you actually get to him then you can probably win the rest of the battle.
1. Sasuke
Ha! You all must have totally seen this coming, I mean duh it would be Sasuke as number 1. You see when my friends decide to be cheap or team up on me, I play as Sasuke and they instantly stop being cheap and they decide to play fair because they know no matter how cheap anyone can be with any character, I can probably beat them by playing as Sasuke when I'm pissed off. Now I cannot properly describe how Sasuke is cheap because he just is, like if someone else is playing as Sasuke no matter how bad they are at the game, they will destroy you with Sasuke's cheapness. Oh and I think I can describe one way people are cheap with him... well, the main way people don't play fair with Sasuke is by spamming their A button attack (the combo with his sword... you know the one) it's hard to explain but substitution jutsu on him during that combo is worthless unless you can time it just right. Believe it or not, Sasuke actually got nerfed (toned down... weakened... ect.) in Revolution 3 from the version of him in EX3 because in EX3 he had a sharigan mode that made his combos even faster and even stronger.
Thanks for reading, remember I post every other day, and please tell your friends about my blog I work so hard on these posts for the 2-3 people who actually read it...
5. Kisame
Ok Kisame is number 5 because half the people I run into using him are cheap and the other half are not. I can't properly explain how people can be cheap with Kisame because I can't do it but I've seen it. From what I saw I'm pretty sure they just spam his Samehada attack and then when your down they backup and get ready to do it again the second you get up.

This Week in Weekly Jump
Ahhh... does anyone remember that? Oh wait never mind I don't have any readers so they don't get references to my older posts... *ahem* anyway, this is a summary of this weeks Naruto and Bleach chapter, let's get to it.
Naruto Chapter 473
Current Battle: Kirabi Vs Kisame
- Ok, so Kirabi was about to get his legs sliced off by Kisame but he throws a pencil at him that is like covered in chakra so it could pierce even a tree, sadly it only hits Kisame's cheek.
- Then the Raikage shows up and saves Kirabi.
- Kisame is surprised on how they could have possibly found him but it was pretty easy when he SUMMONED A GIANT BUBBLE OF WATER THE SIZE OF A MOUNTAIN!
- They cut Kisame's head off and he is somehow still able to talk, but of course they just cut to the land of iron before getting a valid explanation.
- Suigetsu and Jugo are disguised as soldiers... and as they get caught SURPRISE, we cut off to wherever Ao was.
- The Mizukage and Chōjūrō "save" Ao and he is unsually kind to Chōjūrō, that is because the soul swap jutsu wasn't undone and so it isn't him.
- The Mizukage sees through it and so the guy controller Ao went back to his own body.
- The chapter ends as Sai tells Naruto that there is some "truth" that Sakura didn't tell Naruto.
Bleach Chapter 383
Current Battle: Yammy Vs Byakuya and Kenpachi
- Yammy gets struck down again and guess what... HE GETS BACK UP! again.
- He goes into some even stronger form... that is like fueled by anger or something... Ok sorry if I sound like I don't care it's just that I really want Yammy dead.
- We cut back to the human world where Shinji tells Hagiken (whom only has one arm by the way...) to try and heal Hiyori.
- Aizen gives some stupid long "evil villain" speach about how people need to look up to higher beings and how he is so awesome that he is the higher being and doens't need to look up to anyone... blah, blah, blah...
- We cut to the battle between Tosen and Sajin, Tosen tells him that if Aizen is begining to actually fight then Tosen and him must show their true powers.
- The chapter ends right before Tosen summons his *dun dun dun* hollow mask *gasp*.
Remember I post every other day and please tell your friends about my blog since I don't really have that many readers and I sorta work hard to do these posts.

Things I Am Thankful For
Ok I promised a list to make up for my late post Yesterday and this isn't one of those little projects like you did in first grade. This is basically a list of things I watched/played because I had a whole week off for Thanksgiving. So it's not a top [insert number here] list because it is in no particular order.
1. Viewtiful Joe
So far my whole week off has been full of things Viewtiful Joe related. I got all of the anime DVDs recently and watched all 26 episodes (only season 1 got dubbed) in about 2 days. I had completely forgotten how awesome it was so I re-bought Red Hot Rumble on the PSP (I lost it a long time ago) and got a bit frustrated with that and decided to play the original on my good old Gamecube, and I got farther than ever. I have yet to play Viewtiful Joe 2 this week but I will get around to it over the weekend. Also I played a bit of the DS game Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble which was pretty good too. You could say that before when I probably shouldn't have been playing games with bad words and whatnot I was a huge fan of Viewtiful Joe and now that I have all of the games again as well as the DVDs I remember how great it was and I just can't help but feel like we should have gotten a Viewtiful Joe 3 or at least some other spin-off, but of course Capcom likes to be a bunch of teases and just forgets about the franchise and sticks a character or two into their next fighting game to somehow think they make up for it... Then again Clover studios is their own company now... or whatever happened I don't remember, maybe we will get one in the future...
2. Gankutsuou
Ok I bought the box set like forever ago, but I sort of waited for the perfect opportunity when I could watch it all at once and not just after school in my free time, now that I am on this vacation I have done just that and as I write this I am half way through with the series. I had to, of course stop watching for a bit so that I could write this and I am so eager to continue but I promised I would do a list for today's post and I will deliver that promise. There really isn't much I can say about the series itself without giving away spoilers because it's sort of like Death Note or Code Geass because there are twists and turns in the plot with every episode, there are some aspects of the series I don't like (there were a few scenes I could have done without) but all in all it's a great series and I just can't stop watching.
3. Hammerin' Hero
Ok I was at Gamestop re-buying Red Hot Rumble when Half Minute Hero caught my eye, however I couldn't buy it since it was a bit over how much money I could spend, then right next to it was a game that I heard was actually pretty good, Hammerin' Hero. To my surprise the brand new copy of the game was only $15 dollars so I decided to buy it and wow it was good but it was H-A-R-D, and I mean really hard. The game was so difficult that it only lets you play on the easiest difficulty if you die enough times on one level. But I got used to the game and just played on the difficulty above easy. The game is in a 2.5D perspective that I am a huge fan of thanks to Klonoa. It's your standard beat-em-up but slowed down and your given (?) hits before you die. Oh and the reason I put a question mark there is because when I played on the same difficulty I died in one hit in the first level and 3 hits in the third level... it really confused me but I really don't care because the game is actually pretty good.
4. Little Big Planet (PSP)
Sorry but so far I only played this game a bit, I will play it alot more after I finish (or possibly while I watch) Gankutsuou. It seemed to good to be true but it's just basically Little Big Planet in the palm of your hands... it does have some negatives though. For starters there are only two layers, now that's not really a bad thing because levels are easier to get through... but it's also easier to accidentally get stuck somewhere you don't want to. Oh and I didn't really want to say this one because my friends who have the game didn't get this problem but it did happen to me so I might as well say it... this is the first PSP game I have ever played that... well it... it actually crashed on me. I am dead serious I was just in the middle of level editor mode and I decided to electricute a small object but accidentally pressed back on the d-pad (that rewinds your previous step) at the same time and bam, the game was loading for about a minute when suddenly my psp just turned off, I turned it back on and the level I created wasn't saved. Besides that I have nothing wrong with the game at all.
5. Saints Row 2
Ok, Saints Row 2 has got to be my favorate sandbox game ever, I picked it up for dirt cheap a few months back and now that I am on vacation I have tons of time to just explore all of the things you can do in the game. Now I have Grand Theft Auto 4 and don't get me wrong I had plenty of fun with it, but it's just that there is something about Saints Row that feels like I have more freedom and I am not forced to play the story so I feel like I actually want to play it to just play it instead of play it to walk around other parts of the city and not get chased by cops. Like most sandbox games Saints Row 2 is obviously not a game for kids and with things like a streaking mini-game show that. I would highly recomend this game to people looking for a good sandbox game.
Well there you go a whole list, I really do deeply apologise about my previous post being late and I will try not to make a habit out of it. Remember I post every other day oh and I only have like two readers so PLEASE tell your friends about my blog.

To my surprise the brand new copy of the game was only $15 dollars so I decided to buy it and wow it was good but it was H-A-R-D, and I mean really hard. The game was so difficult that it only lets you play on the easiest difficulty if you die enough times on one level. But I got used to the game and just played on the difficulty above easy. The game is in a 2.5D perspective that I am a huge fan of thanks to Klonoa. It's your standard beat-em-up but slowed down and your given (?) hits before you die. Oh and the reason I put a question mark there is because when I played on the same difficulty I died in one hit in the first level and 3 hits in the third level... it really confused me but I really don't care because the game is actually pretty good.
4. Little Big Planet (PSP)
Sorry but so far I only played this game a bit, I will play it alot more after I finish (or possibly while I watch) Gankutsuou. It seemed to good to be true but it's just basically Little Big Planet in the palm of your hands... it does have some negatives though. For starters there are only two layers, now that's not really a bad thing because levels are easier to get through... but it's also easier to accidentally get stuck somewhere you don't want to. Oh and I didn't really want to say this one because my friends who have the game didn't get this problem but it did happen to me so I might as well say it... this is the first PSP game I have ever played that... well it... it actually crashed on me. I am dead serious I was just in the middle of level editor mode and I decided to electricute a small object but accidentally pressed back on the d-pad (that rewinds your previous step) at the same time and bam, the game was loading for about a minute when suddenly my psp just turned off, I turned it back on and the level I created wasn't saved. Besides that I have nothing wrong with the game at all.
5. Saints Row 2
Ok, Saints Row 2 has got to be my favorate sandbox game ever, I picked it up for dirt cheap a few months back and now that I am on vacation I have tons of time to just explore all of the things you can do in the game. Now I have Grand Theft Auto 4 and don't get me wrong I had plenty of fun with it, but it's just that there is something about Saints Row that feels like I have more freedom and I am not forced to play the story so I feel like I actually want to play it to just play it instead of play it to walk around other parts of the city and not get chased by cops. Like most sandbox games Saints Row 2 is obviously not a game for kids and with things like a streaking mini-game show that. I would highly recomend this game to people looking for a good sandbox game.
Well there you go a whole list, I really do deeply apologise about my previous post being late and I will try not to make a habit out of it. Remember I post every other day oh and I only have like two readers so PLEASE tell your friends about my blog.

Accel 3 VS Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 (and other stuff)
Ok, I am sooo sorry that this post is late I really apologies for that, I was actually planning on getting it to you way earlier than this but some stuff came up and... It's a long story but I promise not to make a habit out of it.
Anyway This is going to be my view on the whole Accel 3 VS Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3. Now let me start off by saying that I will actually be buying both games, Accel 3 for Christmas and Ultimate Ninja Heroes with my own money whenever it comes out. Now people keep saying that they will be cutting the game for the American version and everyone is complaining about that. What they are going to do is have the story go up to Hidan and Kakuzu and still have team Hebi and Kakashi Chronicles but they will most likely cut out every path or body of Pein or whatever you call it, Konan, and Sage Mode Jiraiya. It hasn't been confirmed that they will cut them out but I am pretty sure. Also the people who keep complaining need to stop and realize that we are lucky and should thank CC2 that we actually get the story all the way up to Hidan and Kakuzu, and that we get team Hebi, and that we get the Kakashi Chronicles characters. As far as I know every other feature is still in the game so it's not that much to complain about. Plus, we should also think of ourselves as lucky for getting this game at all. Also, I think it's a really good plus for people who don't know Japanese that Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 is in English, and for me my friends are more likely to get Heroes 3 so I can actually play multiplayer with them. Err... that's all I have to say... but since this post took so long I don't want people to feel like they waited longer for something not as good so I will move onto another topic!
Ok something else... Oh about that Live Action Gantz movie, I have a small bit of news that I forgot to put in the original post, apparently the person playing Kato in the movie will be the same actor who played L in the Live Action Death Note movies so that's a plus. Oh Viewtiful Joe fans who liked the anime (like me) head over to Rightstuf.com because the Viewtiful Joe DVDs are only TWO DOLLARS!!! forget whatever other stuff is on sale I bought the whole series of Viewtiful Joe (plus a Viewtiful Joe action figure) for only $18!!! What are you doing still reading this, this isn't product placement I'm just saying that I just bought them and the anime is way more awesome than I remember and now I'm replaying all of the games like crazy. Uhhh... What else... I seriously have nothing else to talk about and I really want to get this post out so people don't think I forgot or something. Anyway sorry about this lame post I will try to do something like a list for my next post to make up for this.

This Week in Weekly Jump
This week Bleach took a break so sorry it's only going to be a summary of Naruto today.
Naruto Chapter 472
Current Battle: Kirabi VS Kisame
- Ok so this is like those underwater zone Sonic the Hedgehog bosses, it can breath underwater and it can move fast underwater... You can't, and in this case the "you" in this fight is Kirabi.
- Apperantly the water their in moves with Kisame so Kirabi can't throw Ponta and the Samurai guy out of the water so they can breathe.
- He decides that if he puts them down and swims the opposite way then Kisame will follow him and the water will no longer be where he left Ponta and the Old Guy.
- Kisame doesn't follow Kirabi and instead just wants to kill the others so Kirabi goes back to stop him and then Kisame turns around and charges at Kirabi.
- He was able to somehow get Kisame in some sort of attack or something and now the others are free.
- Kirabi tries to escape by filling the water with ink but Kisame doesn't need to see with his eyes when he is fused with Samehada he can feel Kirabi's chakra.
- Remember Kisame's strage fasination with cutting off Naruto's legs when Naruto was captured by him and Itachi? Yeah well it seems he wants to do that to Kirabi so he "won't transform"? I'm not sure how that makes any sense but ok I'll go with it.
- Samehada refuses to hurt Kirabi anymore because he apparently loves the taste of his chakra and even begins to give Kirabi some of Kisame's chakra.
- The chapter ends as Kisame kicks it aside and just picks up Kirabi's short sword.
Sorry this was so short, but next week there will be a new Naruto and a new Bleach chapter. Oh and don't forget I post every other day and to please tell your friends about my blog.

No More Heroes HD Remake and Live Action Gantz Movie?
Ok well I wrote this when this news was new, so let me explain how I heard about this. Well I usually watch G4 in the morning to kill some time before I have to go to school and as I was watching something caught my eye, the words No More Heroes, Xbox 360, and PS3 were all in the same sentence, it was one of those little news updates on the bottom of like any G4 show and well it said Weekly Famitsu reported that No More Heroes was being remade on the PS3 and 360. It was brief and I only read about half of it because I caught it just before it went off the screen so I just thought it might have been fake or something like that. But sure enough when I got home I checked online and... well, it's true... Apperantly though since the Xbox 360's sales in Japan are worse than the virtual boy (just an estimate, I'm sure their sales aren't THAT bad) Japan will receive the uncensored version of the game, but get this, only on the Xbox 360, it will be rated a very rare Cero Z (Cero is the Japanese rating system and think of Cero Z as the Japanese AO rating) which, of course means that the PS3 version will be censored. That just made me think "What are you doing Suda?" but here is where it gets interesting... you see Suda51 has nothing to do with this port, well to the best of my knowledge it's just Marvelous doing this. There has been no announcement for an American release but on a completely unrelated note there will be a new gameplay mode called "Super Sweet Mode" where all of the female bosses will be wearing really revealing clothing... not sure why I mentioned that but I felt like it just had to be thrown out there.
Anyway here are links to the original scans from Weekly Famitsu:

http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nma2.jpg
Well, I always talked about how if it was put into the right hands a live action Gantz movie would totally kick ass, now that that's acutally happened, I still feel a bit nervous. Allow me to explain, I was browsing around the Young Jump website to see if I could find a pictures of the most current Young Jump (so that my dad's friend in Japan could get me one) but I came across something else... this: http://yj.shueisha.co.jp/gantzspecial/ so I thought "Is this like an ad for Gantz Final Phase?" or "Is this like an announcement for a new season of the Gantz anime?" well no I was wrong and found out I was wrong when I tried to save the ad into my pictures and the file name was "gantz_movie_01" so naturally since the word CG was all over the ad I assumed it was a CGI gantz movie and that sounded awesome, but then I saw the name of the third Death Note movie in the corner and decided to google Gantz Movie and I found an article that said they were making two live action movies. At first when I heard they were going to be made by the same guy who made the Death Note movies I had nothing to fear until I came across one little thing in the article... "The Sponichi Annex reports that the Gantz films will be targeted at mainstream audiences, suggesting that some of the graphic violence of the original manga may be toned down for the movies." seriously read the article for yourself: http://www.animenation.net/blog/2009/10/08/live-action-gantz-movies-announced/ well, after reading that I was dissapointed and honastly if they keep the stupid nudity and sex scenes in I will be so pissed off that they couldn't make room for the violence. Either way I can't judge the movies til they come out in 2011, and I assure you if they by some strange desition either get overdubbed or officially subtitled I will watch them and hope for the best.

Top 5 Most Evil Anime Characters
Well I didn't give this one much thought since I had a ton of homework the day I wrote this and I have two new games to play so criticize it all you want I don't really care.
5. Greed (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Ok Greed belongs more in a badass section than a villain section because he isn't technically a villain. But regardless he is pretty awesome so I just had to include him. Well I don't remember much about Greed because I only saw that arc of FMA once but I do remember him being like practically invincible (hmmm another list to add Greed to) and that he kidnapped Al for his own evil(?) porposes of becoming immortal. They brought him back in the manga, or at least I think so but I haven't been reading the current chapters. He was pretty crazy and he kinda reminds me of Grimmjow from Bleach.
4. Aaroniero Arruruerie (Bleach)
Ok, well Aaroniero is one of those "can you really kill you (insert close friend or family member here)" kinda people because he can transform into *spoilerz omg* Kaien Shiba, the vice captain of Rukia's squad who is of course dead, she sees through his BS and is able to hurt him but his story was actually a bit believable and I totally thought he was Kaien until of course he started telling Rukia to kill her friends, something that is a BIT out of character for Kaien. He does take it really far though and that sorta makes him a bit crazy, which is something I like in villains.
3. Hidan (Naruto Shippuden)
Ok if you haven't seen the Hidan and Kakuzu arc then you should be ashamed of yourself because for 1 arc we get to totally ignore the whole "destiny" theme and "we have to get Sasuke back" stuff from Shippuden and mainly follow Shikamaru, in my opinion the Hidan and Kakuzu arc is my favorate Naruto arc (part 1 and part 2) and it's also one of my favorite anime arcs in general. One thing that makes it so great is Hidan, the immortal and religious insane member of the Akatsuki, he always has this thing about killing people in a ritualistic way and has a bit of a foul mouth (fansubbers took it waaaaaay too far) oh and yes as I mentioned he is immortal, how do they defeat him? That's all part of the fun my friend, and spoiling it would just ruin it so you should watch it yourself.
2. Ulquiorra (Bleach)
Well, I hope you don't get pissed about Ulquiorra being in second place and (insert number one here) is in first place, but I'll tell you why when you read number 1. Anyway Ulquiorra is a total jerk, he told Orihime that if she didn't eat he would shove the food down a hole in her throat. Well I was never a fan of Ulquiorra because I knew he was one of those characters that would take a while to die but once he does you totally forget he was there in the first place. And the only reasons I remember him were because his Resurrección was pretty cool and he was a total jerk, but in the end he just wanted like love or something I think but I didn't really care.
1. Orochimaru (Naruto)
Ok, ok, ok, ok, I get it, Orochimaru kinda sucks and even Sasuke was able to beat him, and Ulquiorra was close second, but think about it for a second... he tortured tons of people and he was a pretty good villain, he had his reasons and he was such a good villain he was even hated by the other villains. Plus the man is voiced by Steve Blum so... that's always a good thing. Anyway, it is sort of a shame that he died but still when Sasuke was recruiting members for the Hebi (team snake, or whatever you wanna call them) he had bases and prisons everywhere full of all kinds of people who have had crazy experiments done on them, which shows he is pretty messed up, along with his creepy obsession with being immortal and "mastering all jutsu" makes him pretty good for a villain.
Sorry that this list was a bit late, I had alot of homework today and I am tired so I only did this much. Remember, I post every other day and please tell your friends about my blog.

Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
Well since the game was released early and by some shipping error Gamestop got a "pre-order only" limited edition version of Revolution 3 that wasn't pre-ordered by anyone so I got my hands on it. I have yet to watch the movie yet but I played the hell out of the game unlocking everything in the game on Sunday with 11 hours of gameplay and over 900 total matches. Well let me start out by saying something alot of people want to know, what Wifi is like, and yea it's a bit laggy but hey I like it and it's not like it's unplayable. Ok let me get all of the flaws with this game out of the way first so I can end on a positive note about the awesome stuff, ok so if you bought Revolution 2 you remember that the story mode was rediculously hard right? Ok this story mode is shorter but somehow it's at least twice as hard if not three times harder than Revolution 2's story... Oh and if you play the game and you get stuck on that Sasori vs Kankuro mission then you are gonna HATE the Kyubi Naruto vs Deidara mission. One other thing I found a bit tedious about the game was that #1, you only start of with like 2 gameplay modes (not including story mode) and you have to buy the rest, I understand buying Kumite mode and the 2 player versions of modes like survival (oh and 2 player survival is awesome) but having to unlock mission mode? Really? And for 20,000 Ryo? When you make about 500-700 ryo per match (unless your playing 2 player survival, in which case 600-1,500 ryo) then 20,000 is sort of a stretch, oh and did I mention that mission mode is needed to unlock certain characters like Hidan, Kakuzu, and Anbu Kakashi. Also since you make so little in single player modes I highly recomend that you spend your money wisely by just buying survival mode and mission mode first, and if you have a friend to play then buy 2 player survival and get as far as you can because 2 player survival grinding is the best grinding in the game. Oh and as a warning you have to beat story mode on a difficulty above 1 to get like more than half the roster, and it has been proven that beating story mode on difficulty 4 damage 4 doesn't get you ANYTHING! Just throwin that out there... Well anyway unlocking the last two characters was a bit of a hassle but after a combination of having over 700 battles (918 to be exact) and buying eveything everything in the shop (and yes in that order so you should just try buying everything in the shop) I got Bando and after getting 20% mission completion for everyone and like 40% or 60% mission completion for Kakashi with his S rank mission complete I retried his S rank mission and it was Anbu Kakashi instead of Guy, so after beating him (he was sooooo easy) I got him in the shop. Wow this has become like a tip section or even a guide, I didn't expect to type this much.

This Week in Weekly Jump
Sorry this is a bit late so let's just get to it.
Naruto Chapter 471
Current Battle: Kisame Vs.Kirabi
- Kirabi powers up to 7 tails with his Biju cloak but apparently that means that he still isn't taking Kisame seriously.
- Remember how Ao was stuck in some dummy body and the guy using his body wanted to poke out the Byakugan but Ao sealed it? Well, since the seal won't break he decided to just basically rip off Ao's whole head by sort of hanging himself and then swap bodies again when the neck starts to rip.
- Kirabi was able to contain the Hachibi's power into sort of a human form, like 4 tailed Kyubi Naruto.
- It's apparently too much for Samehada to absorb so Kirabi is able to take the chance to hit Kisame pretty hard.
- However, Kisame is able to convert other people's chakras into stamina, basically healing him.
- The chapter ends as Kisame fuses with Samehada making some sort of even creepier more fish looking creature.
Bleach Chapter 382
Current Battle: none
- Apperantly Ichigo's reitsu is at half strength, something Ichigo sees as an everyday little thing, but Unohana is basically put into shock from hearing it.
- She thought his reitsu was at full strength because it was at captain's level but that was onlt half of it.
- We cut back to Hueco Mundo where Kenpachi actually killed Yammy.
- OF COURSE Yammy STILL isn't dead and he tries to blast them with a cero, man I am soooo tired of everything Yammy does it's just fake death, cero, repeat, why can't they just kill him off.
- Byakuya and Kenpachi keep arguing with each other about who is stronger and all that stuff and then they both finish off Yammy together, let's just hope that Yammy doesn't get back up AGAIN.
Well that was this week's chapters of Naruto and Bleach sorry it was a bit late. Anyway remember I post every other day.

- Byakuya and Kenpachi keep arguing with each other about who is stronger and all that stuff and then they both finish off Yammy together, let's just hope that Yammy doesn't get back up AGAIN.
Well that was this week's chapters of Naruto and Bleach sorry it was a bit late. Anyway remember I post every other day.

DBZ Raging Blast!!!
Well since I had Wednesday off I spent most of the day playing DBZ Raging Blast, the best game to come out on the date of November 10th... just kidding Modern Warfare fans I'm just not much of an FPS gamer. Anyway I quickly got used to the controls but I just wish that you didn't activate the specials with the right analog stick since it seems that I have to flick it twice or sometimes 5 times to just use a special and you have no idea how many times I used Kaioken instead of Kamehameha and that made me lose so many times. But besides that the graphics look just like the anime, infact they look so much like the anime it confuses me why Namco Bandai, the same company that made Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm couldn't make Storm look like Raging Blast... Also the inclusion of SSJ3 Broly and SSJ3 Vegita is pretty cool even though I haven't played as them yet. Instead of Tenkaichi 3's story mode where there is like 3 or 4 missions per saga but there are like several battles built into each of them there is one mission per battle in each saga but I take that as a good thing because it means more fun loading screens. Oh and the loading screen is brilliant, you collect little capsules and you eventually use them for something, I think to buy custimization stuff, but I'm not sure, and since you are collecting stuff you are completely focused on getting more capsules and so you sort of want the loading screen to be longer, it does a great job of keeping you intertained while it loads. Hmmm... what else is there to talk about... Oh, the stages look awesome and the fighting is nice and fast like any other good DBZ game... and uhh... I guess that's it...
Well remember I post every other day, oh and DBZ fans I highly recomend this game, it may not have the roster of Tenkaichi 3 but it is still awesome.

Manga Vs Anime: Rosario + Vampire
Wow, all of my recent posts besides my Weekly Jump summaries have been about video games, I need to start doing more stuff about Anime, and that starts now with a type of post I haven't done yet, Manga Vs Anime, and of course Rosario Vampire (AKA Rosario + Vampire) is the perfect example for this topic. Oh and yes if you are familiar with Rosario Vampire then you know it's not exactly for little kids but it's not like it's as adult as Gantz, of course it still is for 16+ (I would say 15+ but the manga rating does say 16+ so whatever) so it's only right that I give you warning. Oh and this probably contains spoilers about the series too... Oh and it probably won't make too much sense unless you've seen the series or know the basics about it... but I've bored you enough with warnings let's just get the actual post...
Ok so to start off this topic let's begin with the story and whatnot shall we? Well, Rosario Vampire is an action series with some ecchi (adult) elements and humor, and the anime is an ecchi series with some action elements... but I'll get to that later, for now let's talk about the story. Ok so the story revolves around Tsukune Aono, a highschooler that doesn't want to be accepted by any high school until his parents find out about a school called Yokai Academy, and if you know what the word Yokai means then you should know exactly where this goes. Tsukune enrolls in the school only to find out that it is a school for monsters and if they find out he is a human he will most likely be killed for discovering it... He then befriends all of the female main characters, Moka Akashiya a vampire, Kurumu Kurono a succubus, Yukari Sendo a witch, and Mizore Shirayuki a yuki onna (if you don't know what that is then visit the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuki_onna). Seems like your regular ecchi adult series right? Well actually the manga is more action oriented and the ecchi aspects only pop up around the begining of each arc but of course you can call me whatever you want for reading it but honastely I only read it for the comedy that comes from the ecchi and the awesomely epic fights. Quite frankly sometimes the story seems like a school lovey dovey drama anime... like School Days... which just make me wanna take a nap. However the fighting scenes are awesome and in the manga the main character fights more than twice and the battles last longer than 5 seconds.
Ok so you heard me praise the manga so much that you probably want to hear about the anime, now before I totally bash on the anime I want to make one thing clear, season 1 wasn't THAT bad and it was actually pretty watchable... but season 2... well you'll see. Ok so, let's talk about the anime, well in the anime alot was cut out including alot of major villains, the season finale was a BIT too over the top, especially the public execution thing and the crucifiction thing... and there is plenty of continuity, like how they publicly told the whole school that Tsukune was human and just because he was at the place that they defeated the guy who revealed him as a human everyone instantly beleived he was a monster like them even though it was PROVEN. And how Moka is able to give others Vampire powers by transfering her blood into other people, she did that once and in the manga it was explained that once he used the powers once Moka had to give him more blood to activate it again, unless she gives him too much blood and he is given the power to control it he can not use it at will, and yet somehow he does in season 2 of the anime even though she only gave him blood once, wow that was difficult to explain. Also in the anime each fight lasts about 10 seconds and the narrator even says how long the fights last so it's like their rubbing their laziness in our faces. Oh and Tsukune only fights twice in the whole anime, once for each season finale, the rest of the time he just relies on his friends and there is even several episodes that he mopes around about not being able to protect himself. I could go on and on about the flaws of this series but I'm sure to the one or two people who read my blog I have already bored you to death with all of this.

Top 5 Launch Titles
Well this is going to be a top 5 list of games released on the same day of the console it's on.
5. Redsteel - Nintendo Wii
I know, I know, alot of you like to complain on how much you hate Redsteel, but you know what I liked it, the multiplayer is fun, the story mode is awesome (except for the sudden difficulty curve in like either the middle or near the end of the game), and the Wiimote isn't as inacurate as people think. I am not really that hyped up for Redsteel 2 since it takes a huge curve away from what Redsteel was, because the original Redsteel was like Yakuza and seriousness with samurai swords and it was sort of dark in a way, but Redsteel 2 is just Samurai Cowboys and quite frankly I'm not sure if that will work, of course the gameplay does look entertaining and so I might pick it up sometime after the release when the price has gone down.
4. Elebits - Nintendo Wii
Ok don't get me wrong just because it's number 4 on the list doesn't mean it's bad, in fact Elebits was quite good... I think, well I only rented it so it's been a while but I do remember having a blast with it and regretting that I rented it because I defiantly should have bought it. If you never played the game basically you go around flipping things over, or opening things, to look for and capture these little creatures known as Elebits, you needed a certain amount of Elebits to access certain areas or lift certain objects... I think or some sort of limitation like that, and it sort of reminds me of Katamari... well anyway from what I remember this game was great and defiantly utilized the Wiimote very well for a launch title game.
3. Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower - PSP
Ok, this game came in close second but when you see what number 2 is you will know why this is 3rd. Well first of all this suffered from the dreaded loading time almost all early psp games had, and this game REALLY shows it. But if you overlook that, it's basically a lowered down version of the Darkstalkers Collection (a game only released in Japan) but on the psp. If you are as much of a Darkstalkers fan as I am you should own this game, I mean I used to rent it, then I just bought it, then I lost it, and then I re-bought it, yeah it was totally worth it too. It even has the endings for each character from all of the games, but sadly no Dee =(, oh well he was just a clone of Demitri with Donovan's sword anyway...
2. Ape Escape: On the Loose - PSP
This one is a remake of the original Ape Escape game, and Ape Escape has got to be the main thing that defines my childhood so this game just has to be this high on the list. Even though when I feel nostalgic enough to replay every Ape Escape game I own (and yes I do that alot with series like Ape Escape and Klonoa) I would always play the original PS1 version over the remake just for that old PS1 feel, but that's not to say this is a bad remake oh no, no, no, I would never say that, in fact for the people who don't want to hunt for the original or if they just want to take Ape Escape on the go, then this game is defiantly for you. I don't know what it offers new to the table in terms of content but the graphics sure are an improvement from the original.
1. Jak & Daxter - PS2
Ok, so this wasn't a launch title, but it was the first PS2 game I ever played, it's one of my favorite games of all time, and it was released around the beginning of the system's lifespan. I always have nothing to say about #1 on my lists because I have too much to say... wait... that didn't make sense... Oh well, anyway this game has got to be platforming on ANY SONY console at it's best, at least in my opinion, I forgot how awesome this game was until I played the recently released Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier (which is awesome) and suddenly had the urge to play the original again, the way the series evolved was something I was never really to happy about, adding things like guns, bad words, and taking Daxter's name out of the title were a bit strange to me so the original is still my favorate, it's also the only Jak and Daxter game I actually beat, and yes I beat it 100%, so those of you thinking I am "a newb for not beating jak 2 or jak 3" I beat the original COMPLETELY! Yes that means EVERY SINGLE POWER CELL! so yeah... Anyway back on topic this game is great and if you haven't played this game there must be something wrong with you because it's a must have game for the ps2 right next to Kingdom Hearts or Budokai 3.
Well remember I post every other day, and please tell your friends about my blog.
5. Redsteel - Nintendo Wii

This Week in Weekly Jump
Ok you know the drill, I summarize this week's Naruto and Bleach chapters so let's get to it!
Naruto Chapter 470
Current Battle: Kirabi VS Kisame
- Ok more stuff about what Sakura was saying to Naruto, he thinks it was stupid for her to travel so far just to tell him that she loves him and is over Sasuke and blah, blah, blah... so boring...
- Sakura wasn't really over Sasuke so she was lieing like Naruto said... wow I really want some sort of conflict or something now... It's not as boring as I am making it out to be but explaining it makes me feel like I am explaining an episode of some drama series...
- The Kages decide to go with an approach of stopping Madara without killing the two remaining tailed beasts, which is awesome if Kisame doesn't kill Kirabi.
- Kirabi was able to use some technique to make a pencil go through a freakin tree, now that's resourseful.
- Kirabi uses the power of his Biju to headbutt Kisame but his sword absorbs his chakra making it not do that much damage.
- The chapter ends as we finally see what Samehada (Kisame's sword) looks like fully.
Bleach Chapter 381
Current Battle:
- Ichigo enters the Gargunta Mayuri made but not before saying something that you don't want to say to a person who holds your life in their hands.
- Unohana tells Ichigo that because of Aizen's zanpakutou he is the only one who can actually face Aizen.
- And of course before we hear what Aizen's zanpakutou does we cut to Yammy getting his @$$ kicked.
- Mayuri and Byakuya have a little chat... something about corpses... yeah... you don't wanna know.
- Apparently everyone fighting the war, in Hueco Mundo and on Earth have seen Aizen's shikai, and apparently if you see it he has some great advantige, but Ichigo hasn't seen it and so Unohana says that as long as he doesn't see it they could win the war.
- The chapter ends as Ichigo accepts that he is the only one who can defeat Aizen.
Remember I post every other day, and don't forget to tell your friends about my blog.

Top 5 Releases (of this year) I Am Sooo Excited For
Well right now as I am wrighting this I am too sick and injured (nothing serious though) to go to school, but I am not too sick or too injured to use the internet so here is a list for you, I will probably end up doing one just like this in January for the releases of 2010.
5. DBZ Raging Blast
Ok I am gonna be honast, I wasn't too excited for this game at first but hey, 70 characters (two of which are SSJ3 Vegita and SSJ3 Broly) with graphics so good it makes it look like the actual anime (unlike freakin Ultimate Ninja Storm...), and after finally figuring out the controls of the demo it was actually pretty badass. So yeah in a nutshell I will definatly get this game on release date (MW2 fans don't be mad, I just want Raging Blast more because I am not that good at FPS games...).
4. Bleach Soul Carnival 2
Well when I saw Soul Carnival 1 on play-asia I thought "so... what kind of game is it?" because it had that stupid "action" or "adventure" or god forbid it might have had an "action adventure" genre which are all slapped on to any game people don't feel like defining into a real genre but as I saw some gameplay I found out it was a hack-and-slasher with chibi style Bleach sprites on the psp, something I could not turn a blind eye too since I am such a sucker for a good hack-and-slasher (do I use hyphens there or... oh forget it...) or beat em' up. Then I saw screenshots for the sequel I realized it started from episode one and went to... well who knows where, and so I just can't help but ask for this game for Christmas, especially since it comes out on the same day as accel 3.
3. Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
Oh man I was hyped for this game before, but with that full roster leak I REALLY can't wait for it to come out. I am so interested in what they will do with Anbu Kakashi and now I have a replacement for EX3 when my friends come over, well actually this isn't a replacement, it's an improvement or maybe an upgrade, since this game's story mode possibly can't be as bad as EX3's (notorious for being just awful) and this game has more characters than EX3 and the very important detail, that it is IN ENGLISH! Awwww yeah, I seriously can't wait for this game, oh and did I mention the freakin Wi-Fi? Well yeah that's another way it's more superior to EX3... I also find it kind of funny that it took Japan 3 trys to get a Shippuden game like EX3 and it took America one try to top it, and we are only on Shippuden episode 5! Of course I meant no offence to Takara Tomy...
2. Little Big Planet PSP
Oh man I spent so much time swapping this game with Revolution 3 for #2 but... I guess I just came to the decision that I guess I want Little Big Planet in the palm of my hands just a little bit more than the American upgrade to EX3... Well what can I say about this game... at first I thought it was just a rumor but this game is real and it's coming out on the same day as Revolution 3, good thing I have been saving up so I can buy both on the same day (but which will I play first?). I really don't have much to say about this game... since it's just gonna be so awesome...
1. Naruto Shippuden: Accel 3
Ok this one should be obvious, I love the Ultimate Ninja series and when they finally announced a sequal to accel 2 (Ultimate Ninja 5) I was so excited, I was probably one of the only people who didn't mind that it was on the psp. When I saw the graphics I REALLY didn't mind that it was on the psp because they look better than accel 2, but then I heard that there would be no PTS characters and it made me sad that I couldn't play as Zabuza vs Suigetsu but I am over that now because I can play as kid Kakashi, Obito, Tobi, and even CS2 Future Sasuke! So with all of that and supposidly 3 story modes (normal story mode, Sasuke's story mode, and an original story mode) it is going to be awesome, especially since that original story mode looks interesting. Oh yeah and they will all be in RPG mode like Accel 2, which I was a huge fan of.
Ok so as you all know I post every other day, ect. ect... Oh and please try to spread the word of my blog.
5. DBZ Raging Blast
Ok I am gonna be honast, I wasn't too excited for this game at first but hey, 70 characters (two of which are SSJ3 Vegita and SSJ3 Broly) with graphics so good it makes it look like the actual anime (unlike freakin Ultimate Ninja Storm...), and after finally figuring out the controls of the demo it was actually pretty badass.

Naruto Shippuden Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 Full Roster
Did I not talk about this already? really? wow... well a while ago the full roster was leaked by Gametrailers and blah... blah... blah... if your reading this you probably just want to see the picture of the full roster...
There you go...
Okay let's comment on characters not in EX3 and why this game will be more awesome.
1. Bando: I sure hope they fix him, but since TOMY has already done so much to make this game soooo awesome that I wouldn't even mind if they didn't... I just hope people don't overuse him online...
2. Kagura: Refer to Bando
3 & 4. Towa and Komachi: I liked both of these characters and will enjoy playing as them again.
5. Anko: YES! THANK YOU TOMY! Japan got her in GNT4 and I am glad we get her here.
6. An... Anbu Kakashi?!?!?: Wow, TOMY... all I can say is... Thank you... and... just wow, I hope he doesn't suck... but I'm sure he won't.
Oh yeah and since Hidan, Kakuzu, Sai, Yamato, and Sasuke are in the game I feel the need to find TOMY studios and just thanking them in person.
I know this game will be freakin awesome and for the people thinking there will be five more secret characters all I have to say is this, We already got so much stop asking for more, and THAT BAR IS THE HANDYCAP OPTION!!! IF YOU ACTUALLY WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE ROSTER LEAK THEN YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT AFTER THEY SELECT THEIR CHARACTERS ALL OF THE CHARACTER PORTRAITS DULL OUT AND THE BAR BRIGHTENS WITH A GIANT ARROW POINTING TO IT SAYING HANDYCAP SELECT... Sorry that was rude, I guess we can all dream, there is that a better answer?
There you go...
Okay let's comment on characters not in EX3 and why this game will be more awesome.
1. Bando: I sure hope they fix him, but since TOMY has already done so much to make this game soooo awesome that I wouldn't even mind if they didn't... I just hope people don't overuse him online...
2. Kagura: Refer to Bando
3 & 4. Towa and Komachi: I liked both of these characters and will enjoy playing as them again.
5. Anko: YES! THANK YOU TOMY! Japan got her in GNT4 and I am glad we get her here.
6. An... Anbu Kakashi?!?!?: Wow, TOMY... all I can say is... Thank you... and... just wow, I hope he doesn't suck... but I'm sure he won't.

My Halloween Costume
Oh man, I am sooo tired and I just wanna go to sleep right away but I will just post this to show my Halloween Costume this year, I was none other than Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2, one of my favorate survival horrow games, well actually the head piece was inspired by the movie version. So let me show you some pictures, I might have a few pictures of me in the costume later but for now I only have pictures I submitted to photobucket last year, oh and I must thank a user from youtube named Dax79 who had a tutorial for making the costume. Ok like I said Picture time!
NOTE: PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO ACTUALLY SEE THEM FULLY

This Week in Weekly Jump
Sorry this is a little bit late (by a few hours), but I was feeling very sick last night, now that I have rested well and took a tylonol I feel much better so I can get on with today's post. Ok so this is a summary of this week's Naruto and Bleach chapters straight from Japan.
Naruto Chapter 469
Current Battle: Kirabi (that is what I am going to call him from now on) and that Samurai guy VS Kisame
- Well that Samurai guy sicks his giant dog... thing on Kisame and so Kisame draws out his sword and...
- We cut away to the Iron Country...
- Danzo, being the total jerk that he is sets a trap for Ao (the guy from the Mist Village who has a Byakugan) and the trap was basically a body swap jutsu with a dummy.
- The Kages all join in an allience (excluding Danzo of course) with the Raikage as their leader.
- Sakura gets all mushy lovey dovey and admits that she loves Naruto (geez it reminds me of the boring mushy scenes in School Days... which reminds me of the ending of School Days... Which reminds me of all of those torture scenes in Higurashi... I think I'm gonna go into a corner now...)
- Ok now back on track...
- She says now she doesn't really care about Sasuke and that Naruto doesn't need to keep his promise about saving him anymore (the one thing that made him train so hard...)
- Naruto takes it as some sort of sick joke...
- Ooooh, in the end Naruto totally burns her, she says it's not a joke and then Naruto looks at her and says "I hate people who lie to themselves" ha! Classic, anyway that's how the chapter ends.
Bleach Chapter 380
Current Battle: Byakuya and Kenpachi VS Yammy
- Well like I said before Byakuya and Kenpachi came to save the day.
- Kenpachi tells Ichigo to move out of the way... with his sword...
- Kenpachi gets punched by Yammy and it sends him flying but he gets back up saying he didn't feel a thing.
- Byakuya tells Ichigo to hurry back to the human world but he has no idea how to get back.
- Then Mayuri comes out of nowhere with a big cart and says that he was able to study the structure of a Gargunta (you know the portal hollows use to go from Hueco Mundo to the human world).
- Nemu prepares the Gargunta and Ichigo is going to be test subject #1 to enter it, now worries though as Captain Unohana volenteers to join him as well.
- The chapter ends as the Gargunta is finished and ready for transport.
Remember I post every other day, and don't forget to tell your friends about my blog.

Tekken 6 First Impressions
Oh yeah, Tekken freakin 6, finally! Obviously I just had to play as Yoshimitsu first since he looks so badass in this game. But before I get to that let me tell you a cool little thing the game has to offer, you can select a main character and stage, and so that character and stage will sort of be the background for the main menu, it's a small thing but I like it. Ok now to the Scenario Campain... wow... ok after seeing the intro scene for campain mode, I... just... just wow, I fel like I was watching a movie or something. The first cutscene is basically a cool black and white kinda strange form of animation explaining what happened all of the previous Tekken games in a way only someone who played them could understand so... kinda useless to me since I have played them but am not extremely familiar with the characters and I didn't really follow the story of the games I played, but it was very nice animation. The fighting in Scenario mode is basically a mix of the Tekken fighting system and a Real Time Combat RPG that works very well. Well I can't talk much about anything else in the game right now since, 1: this is my first impression thing so I am just going to talk a bit about how awesome the stuff I played so far is, and 2: I am most likely just going to play Scenario Campain only for the rest of the night xD.

PSP Fullscreen On My TV!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen... I introduce the Lenkeng PSP Full Screen Display Converter...
This thing will let you (as the name of the device) PLAY YOUR PSP ON A TV OR COMPUTER SCREEN, FULL SCREEN. Well it is MEANT for PC screens but if your TV has RGB (or VGA or whatever the computer screen cable is...) like most Widescreens do then it will work there too, it acutally didn't work on my Computer Screen for some reason... I got mine from http://sewelldirect.com/ and payed $6 for shipping, and well $6 shipping was 3 day delivery, so it actually came in about 3 days from when I ordered it (for 6 dollars!). Basically how this thing works is that if you hook up all of the cables included as shown in the manual, and click on the "switch" button to send the signal from your PSP through the box to where the VGA cables are hooked up, then play the game and it should look like what normal PSP AV cables look like, only taking up about 1 third of the screen, then simply press the zoom button and now it should take up all of the screen and look amazing at the same time (if anything the quality increases when you click the zoom button), if it cuts off a bit, or doesn't take up the full screen then click the Resolution Button until it fits your screen perfectly. This thing is so great that I was playing all of my PSP games for hours.
Remember I post every other day, so keep checking in, and please try to spread the word about my blog.
