Well, I'm currently reading Fairy Tail and I'm immensely enjoying it. It's something like a mage version of one piece. I'm not so sure about the start of the anime, but I saw a few episodes of the anime via animax which made me seek out the manga. If watching the anime takes too much of your time, perhaps you might want to read the manga instead? The series does often refer to the term "Nakama" or "comrade" depicting the ties of each guild member and their bond.

Wow, really? I was not aware of that. I am aware that you need to do something extra in the process but not on a certain temperature. Have you ever tried green tea brewed from your local tea house Perhaps you can try if the tea really does taste different if done properly before you go brewing your own. Might save you a lot of trouble. Have you seen the traditional tea ceremony before? I've been to a tea house in which a staff will brew the tea in front of you (that's in China), and I have to say, the way they brew the tea is not the simple boil in water type. It involves heating the water in a burner and an odd way of mixing the tea leaves and another odd process of pouring the brew into the cup. Most of the green tea I've tried are somewhat bitter, and not much different from any traditional tea, except for the different aroma. Of course traditionally, we drink tea without any additives like milk or sugar. We drink it straight. It is only recently that I have tried drinking what is called "Milk Tea" To tell you the truth, I don't even consider "Milk Tea" to be a true tea. I see it as something like a specialty drink because it tastes sweet and served cold. It's like the distinction between black coffee and a frappuccino, with frappuccino not really coffee.

Managed to have a taste of the Uji Matcha Milk Tea last night. Very smooth to the taste. I think I'm having a love for green tea. Especially when it's combined with red beans. I'm speaking of course about milk tea. Though I also enjoy the traditional green tea, the one you put in tea pots, I prefer to drink them with something to eat. Unlike Milk Tea which I can enjoy individually.

I accidentally stumbled upon Beelzebub on Animax. I have to say, it has a lot of LOL moments. It's story is about a high school delinquent tasked to take care of the Demon King's baby. Very funny and a lot of humorous violence. And because of the single episode I saw on Animax, I'm now currently reading the manga and just finished chapter 63. Fairy Tail also has a lot of potential. I've heard good stuff about it. There are also a lot of potentially good anime being shown on animax.

Well, the fact that both Lisker and Valcuria are inspectors might make you think that they are related somehow, or at least they are high enough in the ranks of cronos to know something relevant. Also, during Liskers time, wasn't inspectors supposed to be candidates for becoming hypers or any equivalent? And surely there must be a reason why valcuria would come to Japan. And the Guyvers are definitely somewhere at the top of the list.

Given a lot of crappy storylines recently, got anything good to read? There seems to be something cooking with the cosmic scene and I haven't been able to get any information about it. The thanos imperative might not have the best plot, but its ending moved me.

Ah, the ever loving Rockman. I'll admit, I never got the chance to play that game. Stopped playing ever since they shifted to 3D. I think X6 was my last Rockman. Don't tell me that it's still Sigma in X8? Anyway, here's my music video contribution. Another song from the lovely ladies of Girls Generation with their song Run Devil Run.

You & I by IU:

Yeah, kinda disappointing. It looks like Luffy kinda finished Hody with a 1 hit kill. So that's it? The action was a let down, but there seems to be more to Shirahoshi as Robin starts asking questions.

Perhaps Shizu's zoacrystal is not as refined as that of the other zoalords, that distance may reduce the effectivity of the mental commands. Even Zoalords like Kabral would require the assistance of the psychic wave generator to summon zoanoids from a distance. And also, who is to say that she hasn't already?

Hmm.... I may have been gravely mistaken with my conception. Quite right about Agito being in Israel prior to being brought into Tokyo via Cocoon. Then I've got nothing about the link. Alpha waves? Although I can vouch that the cocoon came rushing toward Mizuki was because of the programming Shou inserted into it. I know that It was Shou's subconscious that wanted to protect his friends by amassing more power, with the basic principle of protecting his friends, which it did when Mizuki screamed for Shou. Though the control metal may have links to each other, the user might not be consciously aware of this. This might probably the reason why Shou is not aware of Agito.

I, for one, don't see any mental link, but more for dramatic purposes. It was also my understanding that the Guyver can communicate mentally. So since Agito was present during that time, the scenes might have been transmitted by Guyver III to Guyver I. Or Guyver I has been monitoring the events through Guyver III. I don't know, but I still think that Mizuki screaming and the cocoon appearing is nothing more than a dramatic entrance for the Gigantic.

A very nice cover of B.o.B ft. Bruno Mars' song "Nothing on You" by the Korean pop gril group Wonder Girls. Don't mind the nasal accent though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UykHXEXTxag

Here's a wonderful Koren Song made for the Japanese listeners. The song "A" from the group Rainbow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnqi4azi_44

You really gotta love that behind of G. NA:

How about some nice pictures of G. NA modeling for Calvin Klein:

There's more of this set but this will be the last one I'll be posting of Song Jina. Don't ask me what this game is from because I really don't know.

More of Song Jina:

More of Song Jina and her sword:

Aw... been neglecting this thread as of late. Well, what better way to spice up the revival that with a the very beautiful Song Jina in warrior costume: My, that's a mighty big sword Song Jina is carrying:

I do find it strange that Stark would pick up the profanity of the elves. You gotta admit, him diving into that molten uru thingamajig was kinda cool. And despite his absence in most of the events, he did managed to tip the scale with the new shiny weapons he brought, at the cost of his dignity or whatever was left of it. I'm also torn if splitting Banner and Hulk was a good idea. Sure, Banner has been trying for decades trying to get rid of the Hulk, and now that he's rid of him, he's obsessed in getting him back. What gives? I don't like the direction banner is going. Now it looks like Hulk was the sane one after all.

You'd be surprised how it tastes. Oddly enough, it doesn't taste salty. You see, on top, there is a foam like surface which is like cheese mousse, sprinkled with rock salt. Obviously, this kind of beverage is for those who like cheese. I'm also currently enjoying green tea latte from Starbucks. It's the time of the year where our local Starbucks is giving away a free planner/organizer once you complete 9 core drinks and 9 Christmas Drinks. Already managed to complete 1 set and I'm going for my second organizer. Do your local Starbucks have this kind of promotion? For every planner/organizer that Starbucks gives away, they are giving a certain amount to charity. I think.

Ok, I'm done reading Fear Itself. Well, that was rather disappointing. Not to mention a lot of inconsistencies with some of the tie-in books. The only redeeming shot I saw was Cap picking up Thor's hammer. Now you can add that to Cap's list of epicness.
