			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was not doing much this week so I decided to watch the anime series Fate/stay night. Though it&#8217;s an old anime, I was still eager to finish it after watching episodes 14-17 on cable. I was lucky that a friend of mine was able to make a copy of the whole series.</p>
<p>The story is about individuals who were involved in something they call &#8220;The Holy Game&#8221;. They are also considered as masters who can summon a legendary hero each. These heroes will serve as servants for the masters. Each master must defeat the other six to obtain the holy grail. The holy grail can grant any wish. Shiro Emiya, the protagonist in the story along with his servant Saber have to overcome a lot of obstacles and decide which path to take.</p>
<p>For those who have not seen Fate yet,  I recommend you to watch it. The story is very entertaining and unique. Though I was not happy with the ending, I can still say that Fate is one of the best anime series I&#8217;ve ever watched.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following Akira and Ghost in the Shell announcements, apparently Cowboy Bebop is in for a live-action adaptation as well. IF Magazine talked with veteran producer Erwin Stoff (via AICN) and discovered that he&#8217;s working on making a live-action Cowboy Bebop movie with Fox. Apparently it&#8217;s very fresh news: &#8220;I&#8217;m really excited to be working on it, and it&#8217;s in the really early stages. We just signed it the other day.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not so familiar with Bebop, it&#8217;s an incredibly popular Japanese anime TV series that was first aired back in 1998 and has become a hit in the US, Japan and other countries. I&#8217;m a big fan myself since I enjoyed the story and the characters. Though i hated the ending, I&#8217;m still definitely excited to see this one come to life as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wikipedia &#8211; Dragonball is a 2009 American live action film adaptation of the Dragon Ball media franchise. The film follows Goku, played by Justin Chatwin, and his quest to obtain the mystical Dragonballs before the evil Lord Piccolo, played by James Marsters, can. The film began development in 2002, and is directed by James Wong and produced by Stephen Chow. It is scheduled for release on April 10, 2009.</p>
<p>Who would want an American to portray Goku? There are a lot of actors in Japan whom I think would suit Goku better.  I really can&#8217;t tell if this movie will be a flop or not since Stephen Chow produced the film. My only concern really is the cast. The movie&#8217;s appeal to me automatically went down when I saw names of American actors. This is no joke. This is not a cosplay. I think I&#8217;m going to feel again the emotion I felt when Americans made a live action film of the anime/game Streetfighter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the latest episode of Naruto manga, Naruto is training under the supervision of a sage frog in order to make use of the sage chakra. I&#8217;m not sure yet what this so-called chakra can do but i have an idea since the frog gave an example by lifting a huge rock. The frog said that Naruto has to be one with nature.  The talking frog also said that for Naruto to obtain the sage chakra, he must die first since it is hard to master if he does it the normal way. The normal way is mastering the sage chakra by not moving. Naruto does not want to master sage chakra that way so he asked the frog what he meant when he said that Naruto should die first. The frog then showed Naruto &#8220;Myobokuzan&#8217;s secret frog oil&#8221; which may be poured on his skin. The said oil has the power to draw natural energy. Though this oil can speed up his training, there is a chance he must give up his humanity. Naruto will become a frog if he cannot control and balance the three energies which are physical, spiritual and natural. That was what the frog meant when he spoke the words,&#8221;You must die first.&#8221;  If Naruto succeeds on this training, he will have superhuman strength, just like Sakura. Though I&#8217;m excited about Naruto&#8217;s training I&#8217;m also a bit concerned since Akatsuki is about to attack Konoha. Will Konoha be wiped out? Let&#8217;s all wait for the next episode!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Slayers Revolution started airing in Japan last July 2, 2008 and Megumi Hayashibara performed both the opening and ending theme songs. <em>Revolution</em> is a 26-episode series which is actually the continuation of the previous storyline. Having lost the Sword of Light in the previous battle, Lina and Gourry continue their journey in search of a replacement weapon. On the way, the two of them meet up with Amelia and Zelgadis in the kingdom of Luvinagard while taunting some pirates. Lina is happy to reunite with her old friends, but appearing before her is Luvinagard&#8217;s Inspector of the Special Investigative Unit; a man called Wizer. However, Lina is amazed at his unusual behavior&#8230;</p>
<p>Confirmed characters in <em>Slayers Revolution</em> are the returning Xellos and two characters named Kuppy and Pokota.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve searched the net for details about Slayers Revoultion but unfortunately, i was not able to gather much. I&#8217;ve watched the previous series of Slayers before and I&#8217;ve enjoyed it a lot that&#8217;s why I highly recommend you to watch this anime since it is a complete package. It has comedy, action, nice fight scenes, etc. Name it, this anime has it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Itachi&#8230;&#8230;. a spy&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p><strong>Warning: Spoiler</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-46"></span></p>
<p>I already knew that Itachi was taking orders from the Uchiha clan since his father was the head of Konoha police. But there was a twist. I was shocked to learn that he was also taking orders from the village elders. He was something like a double agent. At that time, the Uchiha clan was planning to execute a coup d&#8217;etat. Being under the control of the village elders, Itachi was obliged to report the coup d&#8217;etat. After learning about this, the village elders instructed Itachi to do a task for them. A task that would eventually change Itachi&#8217;s life. They asked him to annihilate the entire Uchiha clan to avoid a war that could kill a lot of people including those who are not even ninjas. Itachi had no choice. In the end he annihilated the whole Uchiha clan except his younger brother Sasuke. Uchiha Madara aided him in this incident since he really hated the Uchiha clan and Konoha.</p>
<p>Before leaving Konoha, Itachi sought the Third Hokage&#8217;s help. He didn&#8217;t want Sasuke to know the real reason behind the annihilation of the Uchiha clan so he pleaded the Third to keep it a secret. The Third agreed to this. He also went to see the village elders but he made a different approach with them. Itachi told them that if they would say anything to Sasuke about the annihilation he will tell all their secrets to other countries. After that he disappeared and became a member of the Akatsuki&#8230;..</p>

<p>The best anime series as of now for me is Ranma 1/2. It was created by Rumiko Takahashi. Takahashi&#8217;s other creations are Maison Ikkoku, Urusei Yatsura and InuYasha. Although it&#8217;s a classic and it lacks good animation unlike other current anime series, I still think overall it is unbeatable. It has action, comedy, romance and even nudity sometimes. This series drove me to be an anime addict. I also loved the opening and ending songs. For me, this anime is irreplaceable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the latest episode of Naruto manga series, Tobi of Akatsuki revealed himself and a fact to Sasuke. He is indeed Uchiha Madara. Tobi&#8217;s real identity was no shock to me since it was obvious. What really caught my attention was the idea that Itachi did all those killings for Konoha and Sasuke&#8217;s sake. He did it to protect them. It is ironic since Sasuke thought that his brother was evil and that he had to eliminate him for his crimes. Sasuke used his hatred towards Itachi to be stronger. In the end, he was able to defeat Itachi. Itachi even lost his life in that battle. Before dying, Itachi was able to pass his eye techniques to Sasuke. He implanted amaterasu into Sasuke. He knew that Madara would eventually try to kill Sasuke so he set his amaterasu to activate every time Madara would attempt to use Sharingan and kill Sasuke. He really wanted to protect Sasuke. I hated Itachi for wiping out the entire Uchiha clan but now i feel sorry for him. It was painful to kill those who were close to him just to save more people. Now, i respect Itachi.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our group was having a discussion the other day about who really won when Naruto and Sasuke were having a fight at the valley of the end. Obviously, Sasuke won since Naruto was lying unconscious on the ground after the fight. But did it ever cross your mind that maybe Naruto really did not want to hurt Sasuke? I mean, before exchanging final blows, Sasuke said that Naruto will not even be able to scratch his head protector. I think Naruto only wanted to prove Sasuke wrong that is why he aimed at Sasuke&#8217;s head protector instead of his body. If Naruto&#8217;s final blow connected, Sasuke would have surely died. Naruto survived the Sasuke&#8217;s final blow thus he could have been the victor.</p>
