Death Note II: The Last Name On the Big Screen Oct15-16

tag — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 21:42:52 +0000

I wanted to pop in to make sure you’re going to the Death Note movie this week. It will be showing in select theaters for 2 nights only. You can get more info and see an awesome Death Note II trailer at NCM Fathom. I am really excited to see how everything comes to an end in the movie (you know . . . how much does it stray from the manga and anime). This time I’m arriving super early as to get a good seat and foods from the concession stand (what’s a movie without overly priced popcorn and drink?)

You can also get these really cool wallpapers for your PC and mobile device and ringtones here at NCM Death Note II: The Last Name. I tried to download an image but for some reason it was saved as a pdf file (why not a jpeg?) So, I didn’t bother with trying to upload it here for you to see (I don’t even know if that is possible) UPDATED: I tried downloading a different image (see above) and this time it was saved as a jpeg.

Well, anyway I hope you check out Death Note II: The Last Name in theaters this week only!

Later,
T.A.G.

Fate Stay Night Episode 17-20 Characters

tag — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 06:37:32 +0000

DVD 5 of Fate Stay Night Medea deals with the Servant of the Master class, Caster. She has some unusual plans for obtaining the Holy Grail. Obviously, Rin, Saber, and Emiya are not going to stand by and watch as Caster drains the souls from the innocent. They become even more invested when one of the innocent victims turns out to be a person who is very close to them all.

But this disc isn’t all about Caster and her quest for the Holy Grail, it also deals with Emiya and Saber. Starting with Episode 19 Emiya begins to acknowledge his true feelings for Saber. Read what exciting new battles and situations the characters of Fate/Stay Night encounter in these episodes found on Disc 5:

Episode 17 The Mark of the Witch
Episode 18 Decisive Battle
Episode 19 The Golden King
Episode 20 Distance Trace of A Dream

Okay, just when I thought I got through all my paperwork and To List another wave of things To-Do came pouring in and when that happens it means less time for me to do the things I love to do like posting to the blog.

September was ridiculously crazy busy. It may not seem like it on the outside but we’ve been very busy behind the scenes trying to make your shopping experience with us more pleasant and smooth.

Last month we enlisted the help of some visitors to take part in a site survey. They provided us with a wealth of information to help us structure the site for visitors like you. So, to those individuals who participated in our site survey we want to send out a HUGE THANK YOU for your time and input!

After receiving all responses from the surveys we then went through each one and come up with a plan to implement the suggests that we felt were the biggest issues. We’ve been working around the clock and behind the scenes to implement the necessary changes. Unfortunately, it’s a long and time intensive process. We hope to have most of the changes implemented by the end of the year (December) or by the beginning of the New Year. Everyone is working as hard as they can to get everything up sooner but we want to make sure everything is in place correctly and runs smoothly before it goes live.

I hope we will also have another survey available that gets your input on what products you would like to see more of in the store. We’ve been discussing doing this for sometime now so hopefully we will be able to put this into action. I’m really curious to see what products you guys are more interested in having in your collections.

Hmm, smells like someone is having lunch now. Well, that’s my cue to check out of here (maybe I’ll be able to sneak in a few bites or two). I’ll do my best to break away and update you guys on what’s going on and what’s coming up.

Until then take care,
T.A.G.

We continue our exploration into the various Reoccurring Scenes in Anime Series with Part III. In this installment we will be looking at food in Anime. We will examine how the tasty, yummy foods affect a storyline and how food can also be a representation of the characters as well.

Food is great for eating but in Anime it can be so much more than simply satisfying one’s hunger or appetite. Check out A Look at Foods in Anime Series to discover the different ways food is presented in various shows.

Do you have a reoccurring scene you would like us to explore? Leave your comments below and your topic maybe the next one we discuss.

Battle Vixen Ikki Tousen Who Am I? Part IV

tag — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 05:05:33 +0000

Let’s see how smart you really are. Can you guess who I am? Let’s see. I am a Battle Vixen extraordinaire, lovely, lithe little body, and strong beyond reason. I have spectacular eyes that show through my long flowing hair. But let’s face it; I tend to dress in a half shirt and a sorta-not-there skirt, so who’s looking at my eyes anyway? I don’t care if all the guys in town are ogling over my creamy skin, I have eyes for Ryuubi. Yes, I’m convinced that my destiny is to die protecting Ryuubi and I quickly begin to see Ryuubi in another light, a much more intimate light, if you will. So take a deep breath and a cold shower, boys. I will do what I will do, even if only in my mind and without Ryuubi‘s participation. Yet!

As the strongest toushi out there, I lead a lusty life, full of danger and high drama. To me swords play is like hot chocolate with marshmallows. Being captured and tortured is like a visit with Santa Claus. And protecting Ryuubi with my very life is like playing with kittens.

So how am I? I am the baddest and toughest toushi around
I AM KANU UNCHOU and don’t you forget it!

Battle Vixen Ikki Tousen Who Am I? Part III

tag — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:15:40 +0000

See if you can figure out who I am, OK? I’m one of the beautiful and sexy Battle Vixens, bisexual they say and I will admit I do like variety in my lovers. Not just who they are but what they do, if you get my drift. Hunky guys turn me on as well as some of the other sexy Vixens I know. I may have a fatal illness but it hasn’t curbed my fashion sense which leaves a lot of bare skin showing. Most of the Battle Vixens dress in a similar manner, so this isn’t really going to help you figure out who I am, is it?

Here’s another clothing clue for you though. I enjoy wearing my school uniform from Rakuyou, except that old jacket can get mighty hot so I usually don’t have anything under it. Although some say I have an attitude and I guess I can be a bit overbearing at times, I also like to flirt and tease so you better watch out. Powerful women like me know what they want so when I gaze at you with my sparkling, sexy green eyes, don’t think you’ll ever be able to resist. I don’t imagine you’d want to anyway, would you? So do you give up? Who am I?

I’m Ryofu Housen!

Battle Vixens Ikki Tousen Who Am I? Part II

tag — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 04:03:53 +0000

See if you can figure out my identity. I’m a Battle Vixen, sleek and sexy of course, aren’t we all? I really look sexy in my French maid outfit which I just love to wear. I endured a painful life many years ago and now my favorite thing is fighting. And I am good at it. That’s just fact, not bragging. Here’s a good clue for you, I’m one of the Four Divas of Nanyo. Have you figured me out yet?

OK, my left eye is covered with an eye patch and a dragon lives in there. What? Yep, the dragon used to belong to Ryubi and it snatched my eye, but we‘re good together now, and he makes me very powerful and helps me heal my wounds.

My best friends are Teifu and Saji but actually I think of Saji as much more than simply a friend. And I try not to think of it, but Teifu thinks of me as more than just a friend. Ah, love. Such a complicated thing. Ah, sex. I am a psychosexual, by the way. An even more complicated thing. Did you figure out who I am yet?

Well….I’m Ryomou Shimei!

Battle Vixen Ikki Tousen Who Am I Part I

Hey there! So, like, I’m supposed to introduce myself now … but … uh, I don’t know what to say. I mean I’m just a totally normal high school girl … well, OK, so maybe not completely normal, I mean I am like one of the most awesomest fighters in all of Nanyo Academy, which is burstin’ with great fighters, but then, like d’uh, I mean I’m just great, even if they only gave me a low ranking. They don’t know what they’re talking about, besides that stuff doesn’t mean anything anyway, all that matters is that I kick ass! Yeah!

Plus I got this Magatama jewel thing which is kinda cool I guess and then there’s some stuff about all these old dead guys, I don’t know what’s about, totally boring, what I’m interested in is the fighting, man it gets me so worked up! Lucky I’ve got my cousin Koukin to help me keep my cool, even if he is a pervert!

So which Battle Vixens am I? I’m Hakufu Sonsaku of course! And don’t you forget it!
