Fourth Required Post

I realize that I have been slacking off a lot. But, what could I do; I was suffering from what is known as "Halo flu" XD. But, now I think I feel a lot better.
Anyways, it seems like Sato-sensei wants us to think about what makes a good blog. I think that there shouldn't be any set rules or guidelines for writing a blog. A blog is basically your thoughts in words and no one can tell you how to write your thoughts except you.
A blog is not a skit that you could better by changing some sentences and including more vocab. Every single blog is a good blog and nothing should change that fact.

p.s. I will review Love Hina next week.

Rurouni Kenshin

Rurouni Kenshin takes place during the Meiji Era of Japan, or the late-1800s of Japan. The story revolves around Kenshin, a wanderer who used to be the legendary manslayer during the revolution ten years ago. During that time he slew many people to create the new era, but afterwards took up a reverse blade sword to represent his vow to never kill again.
Rurouni Kenshin has a total of 95 episodes. There is one main story with sub-stories or arcs that bring about the main plot. There are a lot of characters and a lot of time is spent on the interaction between Kenshin and the people he becomes involved with. Some are ghosts of his past and others are the ones he now protects with his reverse blade sword.
For an anime involving swords, there needs to be action sequences that interest the watcher. Rurouni Kenshin shines in that aspect. Most of the battles were very captivating and original, upto the Kyoto Story arc.
This brings us to the major fault with this series. It seems that the anime just went on until it hit 95 episodes. After the aforementioned arc, the plot seemed drawn out and the action started to get a little repetitive.
This by no means makes the series any less amazing. It has memorable characters, a captivating story line, a colorful art style, exciting battle sequences , and excellent musical scores. The series is still popular despite the fact that it aired in 1997. So, if you haven't seen it yet, give it a try. I guarantee that you will enjoy it.

Third Post

I can't believe I forgot to write my blog. Here goes...I have never really thought about devising a way to learn or anything of that sort. I just go with the flow. Right now, I am only worried about what's due tomorrow and I don't sleep until I finish it (except for CS).
I consider entertainment as much a part of my life as studying and I make time for anime and video games even if I have a lot of work to do. I suffered in my academics because of it but I consider it a fair trade.
It's all about what you think is more important and you spend time accordingly. I don't have any special methods to share with you all. Just be yourself and enjoy life one moment at a time.

Oh, and on a side note, I will review Rurouni Kenshin this Friday.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

This is one zany anime. It is actually based on the first novel in the Suzumiya Haruhi series. I have never read the books, so I cannot comment on the similarity between the anime and the novels.
The first episode will have you going nuts. It's basically a fan-made magical girl video directed (very badly) by Haruhi herself. In the second episode Haruhi introduces herself as the eccentric high school girl who is here to meet people as unusual as her. Thus, begins the story of Haruhi, Kyon, Yuki, Asahina and Itsuki as the SOS Brigade. And the purpose of the SOS Brigade: to solve mysteries around the world.
This anime is anything but melancholy. It's wild and crazy and gets even crazier when you find out the truth about Haruhi and the other members of the SOS Brigade. The episodes are shuffled and without any sort of chronological order. There is a bit of fanservice, but it only adds to the fun of the anime.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one anime you don't want to miss. If I say anything more about the anime, I'll be spoiling it for you guys. I want you to enjoy this anime to its full extent.
Here is a special ending dance by the SOS Brigade.
