Japanese Anime and Manga

Konichiwa!!!!!
Genki desu ka??!

Hi everybody!!!

Today i will talk about Japanese anime or cartoon, and manga or comics. Japanese anime and manga are very popular for the teenagers. There are some anime and manga that i really like. Some of them are not really new but they are very good.

1. Death Note
I watched the DeathNote anime and it was really cool. The story tells about notebooks of Shinigami (death god) and it is used to kill people. One day, a guy named Light found it and he started to kill criminals using that notebook. To kill people using that book, you just have to write theire fuul name and imagine their face so you won't target the wrong people with the same name with your target. You can also set the time and arrege the way hoiw your target will die. If you don't write any specification of the death, the target will suddenly die in 40 seconds by the heart attack. Light use the name Kira and tell everybody that he will save the world from criminality. But, it has been going to far. Fortunately there is a person called L fighting Kira and he work together with the police including Light's father because his father one of the polices that are in L side to defeat Kira. L is a very smart boy and very mysteriousl. But after all his struggle with Kira, he dies. Kira kill him by asking his Shinigami that can see L's real name. After L has died, there are two heir of L that will continue L's mission, they are Mello or M and Near or N. Mello dies in the middle of his struggle and Near continue to fight Kira. At last Kira dies because of his own Death Note.
I recomend this anime to the anime lovers because it is very clever and very cool.

2. Card Captor Sakura
This Card Captor Sakura is already old enough and read the manga version of it. It was about A girl named Sakura who had the power to capture the souls that are released from their cards. The story is not really long and quite simple. It has very cute dress design and cute creature. One of the cute crature is call Kero, it is Sakura's pet and it can transform into Keroberos, a big and cool creature that has maig power too. Sakura also had a sweet love story with a boy from china called Lee Shaoran. Lee had a super power too. The story of Card Captor Sakura is full of magic power and cute and sweet things.

3. Beauty Pop
I just started to read this manga and it is very good. It talks about hair styling and comepetition between har styling geniuses. Uftonately, i haven't finished rading it so i can not talk much about it. But i guarantee that this manga is veryy good!

There are a lot more good manga and anime but i can not talk about it all here. Sometime a manga has many fillers in its anime because the mana cannot ballance the anime. Producting a manga takes a longger time because there is only one or to people working on it. But, in anime production there are a lot of people and they use the studio system, so they work faster. Because there are many different people make an anime, the quality of the picture is not the same. Sometimes you can find a big difference in it, for example is Bleach. Sometimes they have a very good picture, but sometimes they have a bad picture. Even though the quality of the pictures is not the same, it's still a good anime.

So, enjoy your weekends with anime and manga!!
Jaa Naa!!

hoo...

I never thought you were that much of an anime fan.

Why don't you try to read something more deep, along the lines of Death Note (besides that)? :)

ahahaha i didn't think you were an anime fan. I am a somewhat retired anime fan.. absolutely clueless about new anime. But I know Beauty Pop, CCS and DN.

1 DN - very intelligent comic which is one of my favorite, it has the ethical question always hovering around it. Is killing justified? Is certain methods to find and persecute criminals justified? It's a comic which is great but often trivialized by many. Just like dr volt said.
2. cute, lighthearted comic. same as beauty pop only i loved the absurdity of the plot.
