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.
