When Mihawk and Zorro first met, Mihawk already acknowledged the potential of Zorro. Who knows, Zorro might have defeated Mihawk so he could leave that island. I feel sorry for Sanji, he is constantly rejected by females but he is constantly overwhelmed by advances from okamas. His situation was trully the classic dreams turning into nightmares. Ooh! I can't wait until all the strawhats are gathered together.

Truth be told, almost every aspect of every anime has different inspirations. The most common that I can always recall is the Yamato no Orochi. It was used incessantly, and I could probably name around 10 anime that used the concept. I don't see anything wrong with this, that is actually where you can see the ingenuity of the Japanese, they improve upon an existing concept. I'm inclined to think that the inspiration you pointed out may be coincidental. -Dattebayo is rather a unique way of ending a speech, similar to other paterns like -gozaru, -noda, etc, etc. Well, unless we have official statements coming from Mr. Kishimoto himself, all we have are speculations. Who knows, Naruto might be inspired from an Orange.

I guess we could say that Zorro is as powerful as Mihawk is then? I mean, when we first saw Mihawk, he easily did what Zorro have just done. Also, seeing Sanji's first reaction when he got to Shabody Archipelago makes me think that his male hormones are still as strong. He'll definitely get a big nose bleed once he sees Nami and Robin and thier enhanced endowment. With Brooks constant touring, he's got to have something up his sleeve that made him that famous. Perhaps it's the power of his song, or perhaps he managed to make use of hakki through his song. I mean, a lot of people fainted when he was playing. Oh wells, we'll just have to wait and see.

It was not written, but look over Sentomaru's shoulders. That's definitely a vice-admiral uniform.

So Sentoumaru is now a Vice Admiral? This would be interesting.

New chapter's out. Looks like unwanted trouble for the real Straw Hats Pirate. An unexciting chapter but a good bridge to what's about to come. Can't wait till they get it on. I hope they won't simply escape the marines this time, but actually fight their way out. Shabody Archipelago was where the Straw hats Adventure ended, and this is where they will begin their new adventures.

I wonder what Garp and Dragon is up to.

I'm not sure where I should be putting this, but this video is just so touching and wonderful. Theme of Love from Final Fantasy IV. Played on Violin and Harp. The melody is so lovely that I can listen to this tune all day.

Fat Luffy. F. Luffy. Fluffy. LOL.

Well, it's been two years, anybody is expected to change in that span of time. Really big mistake for fatboy. I can predict that Luffy will just ignore this, but fatboy makes the biggest mistake of damaging luffy's food. You don't want to mess with this pirate and his food.

CRAP!!! One Piece 598 is out and I can't get it because I have to work overnight tonight. CRAP!! But I got a glimpse of the raw and looks like somethings happening in Shabody archipelago already. Unfortunately, no sighting of Zoro yet.

Yup yup. I hope this isn't a reboot. I mean, the first animation was already kickass, although they left out a few tidbits unanimated, like say, the skull knight. I hope they continue on forward with the main story here. There are a lot of story to cover.

Oooh! Boobs! As if those two didn't have abundance of it to begin with. So they grew one cup larger? Kidding aside, Sanji looking much manlier leaves me more worried that he might be a closet kama. Especially seeing those laces up his sleeves. Having to imagine what he's been through. Indeed, we're all looking forward to tomorrow when they resume One Piece.

Are we to include chinese series as well? Because as a child, I have watched countless Chinese drama on Television as well as on Video ranging from feudal war (wuxia) to strict modern drama (I still can't forget the theme from that child drama. Really touching). That's like 1 series for every month for more than 10 years. (parent's hobby actually, and I was watching along with them every night) So that's like 120 series and movies. Some of them pretty cool actually, even with the limited visual effects then. Among them the classic movies of Jackie Chan during his teen years.

Would you guys believe they're actually making a movie about facebook? Actually, it's already about to show on October 1.

Well, Sanji does indeed say that he has no intention of learning Newkama Kempo, so the chance of us seeing him using that style is really low. But that doesn't mean he won't be able to learn a few new tricks when battling the masters for the ingredient of the attack cuisine. I just can't remember if he already knew Diablo when he first met Luffy or he managed to learn it along the way. Also, we never really did see the other stronger shichibukai fight seriously, so we can't say for sure if all of them are capable of Hakki of some degree. But even Boa and her people, not as strong as the other pirates, is able to utilize hakki. So this gives us the impression that everyone can learn Hakki. It just so happens that Luffy is a special case as his type of hakki is the most rare. Remember, there are different levels to Hakki, and we are just familiar with the strongest Hakki. Luffy may learn the strongest, while the other straw hats crew might be able to learn the lowest level of hakki. I'm guessing at least to the level that they can deal with Sentoumaru.

Sorry about this. but going back to the hakki discussion, I will have to insist that Sanji might have a chance of acquiring it. Even though it is specifically stated that Sanji wants to learn cuisine, the other condition of the Okama is that Sanji has to beat a lot of cross dressers to be able to learn it. Thus, this cooking is mixed with martial arts training. I'm pretty sure that Ivanko, judging from the abilities he (she) has shown so far, is able to utilize hakki to some degree.

I accidentally chanced upon on youtube a series of videos chronicling the fight of Naruto and Pain. Did not realize the anime was already this far. I guess fillers are to be expected soon, unless of course, they are alreasy showing fillers now. I have to admit, I was certainly impressed with the animation and that there are several moments that were depicted powerfully in contrast to the manga, but I can still see the degradation of the animation quality in some episodes if not all. Too rubbery particularly on the actions scenes. I would have loved to watch this but the prolonging factor is still present in some scenes. Especially most evident in some cinematic scenes where they will show you a still scene for several seconds.

Ah, Yama onna Kabe onna. Another funny series. Although this lacks the powerful impact of the other series, it's still a likable show. You gotta love the innuendo's of the show about breasts. If you are a fan of Rumiko Takahashi's Maison Ikkoku, there was a TV special released a few years back, and it stars Misaki Itoh as the admirable Kyoko otonashi. also, the last three J-drama I have seen are Love Generation, Long Vacation and Hero. All of these shows somehow stared Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako in different roles.

Well, it's good that you've got all the basics covered. Most of the times they are overlooked, and only to find out later that they are the cause of the error, or what leads to it. If it's still on full warranty, can't they provide you with a service unit until they give you a new unit? I mean, in terms of business, not having your machine with you even for a few days would mean a loss of opportunity. Opportunity sometimes translated as profits. Seeing that the retail industry in the UK have delighting customer as a standard instead of customer satisfaction, I'm sure your needs would be addressed.

I'm sure you've already thought of this, but better be sure. Have you installed any new hardware recently? Have you installed any new software recently? Have you configured anything new recently? If answer to any of the above is yes, perhaps you should try to look into it again. If no new hardware was installed, then there is a chance that this is a software issue. However, we can't discount the possibility of some of your hardware going bad. Again, I don't use windows 7 so I really can't help you with software issues. Hopefully by now, you have already figured out what's bugging your machine and may deem my post irrelevant.

Wow! I didn't know Girls Generation had a Japanese song. This is the song that I've know them for: Gee:

Were you able to capture the error code from the BSOD? Perhaps that might relate to your current predicament. Since you're running windows 7, I'm afraid there's nothing I can help you with if this is a software related problem.

Well, best wishes to you then. Because frankly speaking, the history of the world was built upon lies and deciet. When nations are at war, it doesn't matter who is right and justified, it is the victor who will dictate what is right. Who knows, God forbid, should Hitler had won World War II, we would have deemed Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchhill as the demons of their era. We say that let the future generation judge the history of the world, but truth be told, it is the victor who writes the history. How this relates to the topic? I don't know, but I'm sure that no matter what kind of religion there is, there are bound to be half-truths.

I haven't seen much Godzilla, but I would certainly like to watch the Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla. I mean, I only saw the classic Godzilla and the one where he is with Biolante (spelling?). It was the robot Godzilla that got me interested, but unfortunately, lack of resources then prevented me from ever trully becoming a follower of the franchise.
