So like I said I decided to post the second season trailer up:
Every time I watch it I get more excited! I found another video (without the translations so I'm not going to put it here) with some other clips from season 2 in it. It looks great. I'll probably read the manga after the anime ends. Just because I don't like to ruin it for myself while I'm watching the series. (Especially if I'm watching the series with someone else.)
In other news - MY PHOENIX WRIGHT GRAPHIC NOVEL CAME YESTERDAY!!! YESTERDAY!! Here I was thinking I'd have to wait till Monday, and I wake up to my mom waving a package in my face. I've read the first 3 stories in it, and I'll probably go read more after I finish this entry. I like that each story is written, and drawn by someone else. I'm fond of a lot of the art styles, but there are a few that I don't care for. It's nice to see the different takes on Phoenix, and the gang.
The Edgeworth case files comes out in February which will be fun. I'll hold that excitement off for a couple months. HA!
Oh, and one more thing. I was in a parade on Wednesday night. I volunteered to hand out flyers for the library. It was a lot of fun. I'm extremely glad I got the chance to do it. Our group was great, and I'm so happy to have gotten to volunteer with them. Thanks you guys for the great time!

OBJECTION
Earlier I ordered the Phoenix Wright graphic novel that came out on the 23rd. I'm so excited. I'll probably have to wait till Monday to get it, but it will be worth the wait. (I've been waiting since March. What's a few more days?) Time Hollow also came out, and my November issue of Nintendo Power came in the mail. (It's always freakishly early. O_o) There was a review for it in the back. They gave it a 7.0, and I decided to wait to see what some other fans think before I spend the 30 dollars. I don't really have any money to waste so I want to be sure it will be worth it. I really want to get it though. I'm in the mood for a new video game. I haven't bought a new Wii game in awhile, but every time I get interested in one a DS game comes out that completely takes over my interest.
I finished Death Note on Sunday. The ending did justice to the series. It was kind of sad, and even though I knew Light deserved to die I felt bad for him. I thought they portrayed his cracking, and finally going completely insane really well. His laugh has always freaked me out, but HOLY COW that was just CREEPY. I love his voice actor. No matter what part he does he does an amazing job. (I.E Tamaki from Ouran High School Club.)
I like that Matsuda got his shining moment in the end. Since he was always a dorky background character it was nice to see him have such a big part. I felt bad for him since he had believed in Light right up till the very end.
I honestly didn't care for Near as much as L. I guess most people don't. He just isn't as LOVEABLE. I also felt like you don't really get a chance to get to know him, and Mello's characters before the series ends. I DID like what we saw of Mello. He was pretty cool.
Mikami was interesting too. His psycho outbursts when he was writing names in the Death Note were kind of funny to watch. XD I don't know. I just liked his character.

***Done talking about Death Note now. It's safe. ***
New season of Vampire Knight starts beginning of October. I saw the trailer for it, and was FREAKING OUT to my one friend that watches this series with me. It looks great even though I see subtle changes in the art style. It might just be the scenes they're showing, but I think they changed something. I might post up the trailer a little later. I can't wait! Bring on the ZeroxYuuki! They're such a cute couple. Kind of like Zutara in a completely different sense.
Ciao for now!

Of new fandoms, and hair junk
SO I have a new fandom to add to my long long list. Death Note. I wish I would have watched this series sooner. I had a couple people poking me about it, and I finally caved. MY WORD I AM SO HAPPY I DID. It's quickly jumped to right near the top of my favorites list. I think it beat out Naruto. Naruto had been at the top of my shounen list for almost TWO YEARS. I'm around episode 22. I'm hoping to finish by the end of this week. <3
The oozing awesome from Death Note-
-L, he's a detective. HAS A HORRIBLE SWEET TOOTH, and constantly sitting all scrunched up in chairs. He's just too cool for WORDS. Before I watched Death Note I always wondered about him. He looked like a very interesting character. Now I can't get enough of him.
-The animation is AMAZING. The scenes with Light's dramatic writing into the Death Note are great. (You get to see that in the trailer I linked below) The dramatic cake scene in episode 18 too. Oh, and the epic potato chip chomp made me laugh. I never saw someone eating potato chips so dramatically. LOVE this series. LOVE.
- Of course the plot is great. I probably should have mentioned that first. The mystery of it is intriguing. YOU know who Kira is, and you also know who L is. You just don't know when one of them is going to figure out the other one. Especially once L, and Light are interacting later. They are mere inches apart as Kira tries to figure out L's name to kill him, and L tries to figure out if Light is really Kira.
- The shinigami (god's of death) Ryuk, and Rem are both seriously cool. The personality differences are great. Ryuk could probably care less about what happens to Light unless it means he can't eat apples anymore. While Rem is so dedicated to Misa, and wants whatever makes her happy. It's entertaining to say the least.
The only part I DON'T like is the second opening, and ending. It's disappointing since I loved the first ones so much. The new ones are just shrieky, and annoying. The animation is rather cluttered in the second one too. That is probably my only complaint. Well besides Light being a total jerkface, but that's just part of the series. XD
Anyway, here's a fan made trailer of the series that does it justice (at least *I* think it does):
So if you're interested I suggest you check it out. Definitely worth giving a chance. (You got to see the amazing potato chip nom. Did YOU ever eat a potato chip, and look that cool? I don't know about you, but I just look like a chipmunk packing it away in my cheeks.)
On a complete side note, today I put this green hair spray stuff in my hair. I got three cans yesterday in different colors. Green, black, and blue. It's interesting...I'm not sure if i like it. It says it will wash out with the first shampoo so at least if I don't like it I'm not stuck with it.

Time Hollow
I'm going to jump right into this by saying I CAN'T WAIT for this game to come out. Since I found out about it a couple months ago I have been wired for it. I'm a huge fan of point and click, RPGs, and adventure games. (Phoenix Wright = My gaming <3)From what I've read about this game you play as the protagonist Ethan Kairos. The night before Ethan's 17th birthday his father promises to tell him a secret the next day. However Ethan never gets the chance to hear that secret. He wakes up the next day to find out his parents have been missing for 12 years, and he lives with his strange, and mysterious uncle. OH NOES.
As he searches for his missing family he finds the Hollow Pen. The Hollow Pen has the power to open portals to the past. With this pen he must change the past to solve problems in the present. He also must follow the events of the past AND present to uncover his missing family.
Obviously you will control the Hollow Pen with the stylus to cut holes in the fabric of time, and save Ethan's family! (Hopefully not screwing over some innocent bystanders life while doing this.)
Check out the trailer:
Doesn't that seem just EPIC!? It just OOZES awesome. It just...ahhhh!! No words. I'm so excited!
The game comes out September 23rd which is also my mom's birthday. =O Also the manga I have been waiting for since March is coming out that day too. WOOT! That is going to be an extremely awesome day.

Why?
I made this blog for two reasons.
- I was curious about blogger, and since I'm working on learning HTML I thought it might be fun to have this to play around in.
- I wanted to make this so I have a place to go to spazz over whatever I want. If I'm excited over a game coming out, or just something funny that happened to me. I wanted a place to go for JUST things that make me happy, or things that I'm excited for. I'll probably rant about my fandoms too.
If you read this you will probably hear about the following things:
-Video games
- Anime
- Manga
- Books
Who knows, maybe I'll even start writing reviews about these things. That might be fun. =D
