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.

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.

For more info on the Gantz live action movies just check out this article at: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-10-07/gantz-manga-being-adapted-into-live-action-film and remember I post every other day and please tell your friends about my blog.

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.

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.

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.

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?
