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.

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.

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.
