Yes, I have recently ended the awesome anime that is Katekyo Hitman Reborn! It was pretty epic and amazing. I spent the entire weekend listening to Reborn! music. Here are some of my favorites.
This is Canvas by +Plus.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Alright people! Next up is one of my favorite anime/manga! No, I won't bore you with reviews of widely known anime like Naruto or One Piece, even though both are pretty awesome. No, this anime that I'm talking about is called Katekyo Hitman Reborn! It's also known as "Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn!", KHR, and just plain "Reborn!" I love this anime mostly because of the weird characters. The entire plot and the characters themselves are very complex, and it would take such a long time just to explain all of this to you, my hopefully loyal reader. But I'll take the time to explain the basics.
The boy above is Tsunayoshi Sawada, also known as Tsuna, Vongola Decimo, and Vongola Juudaimei. (He's the Guardian of Sky, the boss, and the Guardian of Sky is supposed to be harmony itself, governing the other guardians.) You see, this anime is about the mafia. Tsuna, who is called Loser Tsuna, is pretty much a below average middle schooler. One day, a baby in a suit, Reborn, shows up and tells him that he is the descendant of the Vongola. Tsuna is the many times Great-grandson of Vongola Primo, the first boss of a very large mafia corporation. Incidentally, Reborn will also be Tsuna's katekyo, his tutor.
Reborn. Also has these weird bullets that can help Tsuna fight. They're called Deathperation Bullets that only work if you feel any regrets. Reborn is a super duper extra-ordinary baby. He's also part of the seven arcobaleno, the strongest mafia babies, but that's a different story for a different time. I don't want to spoil anything until you actually watch this. Now continuing. Ever since Reborn comes, all sorts of people start befriending Tsuna, and Reborn sees it as people joining Tsuna's mafia family.
First, we have Hayato Gokudera!
This guy is crazy loyal to Tsuna, and calls himself Juudaimei's (Juudaimei means 10th boss) right hand man. Gokudera is also called Hurricane Bomb Hayato. He received this nickname because he can hide explosives anywhere on his body and he's an expert with them. Gokudera is granted the title as Vongola Decimo's Guardian of Storm, but that's another story for another time. The Guardian of Storm never stops attacking and keeps on like the storm. Gokudera is pretty fierce and has quite a temper. He's also a child prodigy and genius. And he's pretty weird. He's a huge fan of mystical creatures. And no, I'm not talking about unicorns. He likes creatures like aliens, the Lochness Monster, and Bigfoot. His stomach hurts whenever he sees his older sister's face and then he collapses. But he has good reason! Watch the anime and find out why.
Next is Takeshi Yamamoto!
This guy is pretty dense, but sooner or later he understands that the mafia isn't just a game that Reborn has made up. Yamamoto is an amazing baseball player and a great athlete. Yamamoto doesn't get good grades in class, but if he actually tried, he could ace it. Later on, Yamamoto will master the sword as his weapon. That weapon will be quite useful when he becomes Tsuna's Guardian of Rain. The Guardian of Rain is supposed to be tranquil, calm, and composed. There's not much that's really weird about Yamamoto. Other than the fact that he has crazy strength, smiles a lot, and his family owns a sushi shop.
Next in the line up is Ryohei Sasagawa!
Tsuna has a crush on Kyouko Sasagawa, which happens to be Ryohei's little sister. Fortunate for Tsuna, Ryohei has no idea that Tsuna likes Kyouko. He's also Tsuna's Guardian of Sun. I don't think I have to explain that one. Ryohei is pretty strange. Other than the fact that he is an awesome boxer, he uses the word "extreme" too much, but it's his motto, so let's leave it at that. Ryohei is like a monster, with his crazy strength. He fights with his bare hands! It's a pretty big feat when a gigantic snake tries to eat you...
Fourth (Ha! Didn't think I was keeping count, were you?) is Kyouya Hibari.
Hibari is the president of the discipline committee. He's really overprotective of Namimori, the town that all of them are living in. He's so overprotective, it's borderline to an obsession. Btw, Hibari is the Guardian of Cloud, alone and solitary, fighting with the other Guardians by fighting far away as the strongest Guardian. But Hibari isn't crazy weird like the rest. He's just plain scary. And he always says "Kami korosu" which means he's going to "bite you to death". Sounds pretty wrong, but I'm not the one making it up. Hibari is pretty much a loaner and doesn't like people interrupting his alone time. The only people he doesn't try to kill are animals. He likes small animals, though. For example, Hibird!
Yep, that's Hibird.
Next is Mukuro Rokudo and Chrome Dokuro.
This one is pretty hard to explain without giving away the plot. Let's just say Mukuro (the guy) is a bad guy turned good and Chrome really admires him. Btw, if you take apart Mukuro's name: Mu-ku-ro Ro-ku-do. And then you rearrange them you get Ku-ro-mu Do-ku-ro. Yep, I think Chrome's name used to be Nagi. Both of them are Guardian of Mist. Whoever is mist factor, is an illusionist.
Who's left? Ah yes. Rambo.
I'm not a big fan of Rambo, but he can be funny and helpful at times. Most of the time he's pretty noisy. And it doesn't hurt that his voice actor is the voice actor of Naruto. How does Rambo fight? Well, before the Byakuran arc, Rambo fought by using the 10-year-bazooka. I'll leave you with a cliffhanger. Rambo is the Guardian of lightning, and his body is impervious to huge doses of lightning. He's a human lightning rod.
There are so many characters that I'd like to explain, but this post is getting pretty long.
But I'd love some feedback from my readers. Are people actually reading this? If you are, I'm impressed by your fandom of anime.
Ciao ciao!
P.S. This is what happens when Tsuna goes into hyper mode:
I just want to leave you in wonder. ;)

Alright, I realize that my blog posts are really long, so I'll try to keep things short! Btw, I am so angry and so happy at the same time. I found out that W Juliet has been continued! It is W Juliet II. I'm happy obviously cuz it's a great manga and it's still on. I'm angry cuz I didn't realize that it had a sequel. Anyways, since I've seen and read so many manga and anime, I'll just post a few that I highly recommend.
Shaman King
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
Black Cat
Shugo Chara
Ouran High School Host Club
One Piece
Pandora Hearts
Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou
Prince of Tennis
Gakuen Alice
Shugo Chara
Like I said, some of them are shojo and some of them are shounen, so each one is completely different from each other. All of the series listed above are also anime. So check it out!
~Ciao ciao!

W Juliet
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been meaning to post this for a while, but I've finally finished W Juliet! After half of a year, I've finally tracked down W Juliet's final volumes!!! Yes, W Juliet was and has been the perfect manga of my dreams. That is why I've been frantic over it! In the beginning, we have Ito Miura, a tomboy, who at first glance looks like a guy. But she is actually a girl! Then, we have Makoto Amano who transfers to Sakuragaoka School, and she is a very pretty girl. But when Ito shows her around the school, she invites her over to her house. Ito has grown up in a dojo, her mother has been dead since she was little, and she has lived with her 3 brothers and dad for a long time. Makoto goes upstairs to change, and Ito accidentally barges in and discovers that Makoto is actually a guy! (Yeah, yeah, I get it, cliche...but I like it anyways.) Makoto then tells Ito his secret.
Makoto's real name is actually Makoto Narita. Ever since he was a kid, he's wanted to be an actor. But his father is the head of a dojo, and wishes for him, the only son, to become his successor. Makoto argued with him, and in the end, his father gave him a challenge. He had to go to a different school and town and ACT like he was a girl. If anyone discovered that he was a girl, he would come back to the dojo and become the successor. (NOTE: Makoto has grown up in a household with his father, mother, and his 3 sisters.)
Makoto gladly accepts the challenge, and there you go. During the first couple of the 13 volumes, Ito and Makoto fall in love. Makoto is unlike any teenage guy you'll ever find out there. Not only is he super-intelligent, super-athletic, he's also super loyal and super romantic. But then again, neither is Ito. She may not be smart, but she can do action moves that no one else can do, and she can beat up any guy (well, except for Mako). The two of them fall in love, and have to avoid everyone else from finding out Mako's secret. That, and the two of them have to fight off all of the other people who want them. Like Mako's fiancee that his father set up for him. Or the crazed female senpai who's always after Ito. Or Toki, the violent drama club veteran who chases Ito with an obsession. Or maybe Sakamoto, who is a two timer and likes both Ito and female version Makoto.
There are some other side stories including some of the people around the couple. There friends Yoshiro and Misaki become a couple. Yuto (Ito's 2nd oldest bro & the youngest of the twins) starts dating Akane (Makoto's 3rd eldest sis). Ryuya finds love with a weird Japanese loving foreign exchange student, Christine. Even love blooms for the youngest Miura sibling, Tatsuyoshi. Toki gets over Ito and a little love blooms with him and shy Nobuko. Mako's fiancee finally gives up on him, and leaves quietly after becoming a friend of Ito's. However, this happy ending doesn't become like this in a snap. The conflicts that all of these couples have to hurdle over are breath taking, hilarious, and awe grabbing.
BIG SPOILER AHEAD!!! WARNING!
And in the end, Makoto and Ito join a theatre group together and live out their dreams. To become actors and to be with each other. The pics at the end suggest that they got married, got a dog, and had a little daughter that looks just like Ito. I'm glad that Emura-sensei wrote this series! I hope that there will be more manga like this in my future! :) But for now...

The left one is Ito Miura and on the right is Makoto Narita.
On the top are Ito's brothers. From left to right: Ryuya, Tatsuyoshi, Yuto.
Gakuen Alice
Ok, my next review will be about Gakuen Alice. I'm not just talking about the anime, I'm talking about the manga. The anime was pretty peppy and light hearted. The seiyuus portrayed their characters perfectly! (Not to mention that Akira Ishida plays Narumi!) Anyways, I've been catching up on the manga, and I'm so sad to see what has happened!!! SPOILERS BELOW.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!! WARNING!
So far, where I am right now, Mikan has finally learned the truth about the past and what happened to her parents. How the High School Principal (HSP) is her father's brother. The things that her mother, Yuka, has suffered. The death of her father, Izumi Yukihira, by Rei Serio a.k.a. Persona. The scheme that the Elementary School Principal (ESP) and the crimes he wishes to inflict upon the world and the academy. About the many people who love her mother, like Shiki - the MSP's descendant and heir. He has compatibility with all sorts of Alice stones. Narumi - who has always loved Yuka, even though it was a selfish love (in the manga, he finally confronts Yuka). And finally Izumi - who inspired and loved Yuka to the fullest.
Once Mikan was done watching the past (with Noda-chi's help of course), she went back to the present, and so many things changed. ESP launched an attack on the HSP and Mikan. In the end, they discovered a traitor among them and worst of all, Yuka died, protecting Narumi, because she couldn't leave him alone in the end. After that, Z appeared and I learned that Z's leader is actually one of the ESP's clones (he has that sort of Alice). But Z's leader is actually a clone from ESP's clone, so he has a weakened link to ESP. But at the same time, Hii-sama, the MSP has started to weaken and can no longer hold the school's barrier at its former strength. Shiki makes a proposal to the ESP, and he accepts all of his conditions except one. Shiki then saves the school with his barrier powers and becomes the MSP representative. Mikan is then separated from the rest of the school, forced to live in her room and can no longer go outside, except to the balcony for short periods of time to get fresh air. The only people who are allowed to visit her are Shiki, HSP, and her new friend Bear. She is also forced to meet with ESP once a week, due to the proposal. Afterwards, Natsume finally declares his undying love for her, which was really very sweet, but after everything that happened and all the backstories, I felt like crying.
Other things happened too! Persona almost killed Nobara, but was saved at the last minute by Subaru Imai. Subaru was being controlled by Luna, but Hotaru saved him as well, because of Yuka's Alice stone that was inserted into her by Mikan. Luna has been acting strangely, I think she's regretting joining ESP. For now, that's all! But I'll be back. (Sorry for going all "Terminator" on ya.)

Fairy Tail
Alright, my first anime review will be Fairy Tail. I don't speak ill of other manga, because I don't want to insult other fans. Okay, let's get started. Fairy Tail is a manga by Hiro Mashima. Lucy Heartfilia is a celestial spirit mage that can summon celestial spirits through gates to the Earthland. She meets Natsu Dragneel and Happy, two mages (Happy being a cat) from Fairy Tail. You see, some mages belong to mage guilds, where they do jobs and missions for money. Fairy Tail is a very powerful, popular, and somewhat crazy guild, and it's the guild that Lucy wants to join most. Then she finds out who Natsu is. He is the fire dragon slayer, nicknamed "Salamander" and Happy is a flying, talking blue cat. Natsu and Happy take Lucy to Fairy Tail, and there she meets many different friends and becomes a Fairy Tail mage.
Characs (Other than Natsu, Happy, and Lucy):
Gray Fullbuster: an ice mage that has a habit of taking off his clothes
Erza Scarlet: a mage that requips armor, clothes, and swords. She loves strawberry cake.
Minor Characs:
Levy McDonald
Gajeel Redfox
Jet
Droy
Makarov
Laxus
etc... (I could go on forever...and ever...about these characters.)
I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY!!!

Alright, so I guess that my AMV didn't download properly. That's a downer... Anyways, I'd like to introduce this new blog! It's all about anime, manga, and AMVs, regardless if it's shonen or shojo. I'm not a big fan of hentai material though. Don't worry, I'm sure there's a lot of categories for anyone who reads this blog! I have read/watched over 70 series. Maybe even more! I haven't really counted. From the most popular shonen manga like Naruto, to the shojo manga like Ouran High School Host Club, or even to the least popular manga like Urukyu or Mugen Spiral. There is something for everyone. Ask any manga question in the comment box, I'll be glad to answer it.
