Heheeheeee, just changed my mood theme though it's not as complete as the previous one.

My thoughts on Naruto

2008-10-27T07:13:09Z

I have just finished episode 70 of 'Naruto' yesterday night and am so inspired by its main theme of never to give up even if one is not born superior and that there is always a uniqueness in every person that can be converted to strength. For example Rock Lee who trains ten times harder than other people because he couldn't mould his Chakra like what a ninja should possess. As a result, he fought well in close combat. Hinata who was always shy and timid, stood to face Neji and fought bravely during the tournament even though Neji was much talented than she was. Naruto had been discriminated since young and was always being laughed at for his crappy shadow techique, moreover he was alway overshadowed by his genius and popular team mate, Sasuke. Naruto's determination and hardwork not only made him turned his worst techique into his best, he also gained recognition for winning in the Chunnin exam. Unfortunately, the concept of 'Hard work will succeed' may not apply to everyone in real life, especially people do not have clear goals.

Even so, 'Naruto' is a highly inspiring anime despite the presence of other animes like 'Skip Beat', 'Dragon Ball' and 'Ushio to Tora'. The more attractive part is the emphasis and integration of many characters, clans and wars, not withstanding the twists in the plot. The variety of fighting techiques also makes 'Naruto' more interesting than 'Bleach'. It's lengthy episodes of 220 in season 1 alone, not to mention its current on going episodes in season 2 almost put me off. The only anime that I can think of which is longer and is currently on going is 'Detective Conan'.

Am watching Naruto lately and will probably change this journal layout to that of Naruto and the rest theme.

It takes so long to load this server that I have to use IJ and LJ most of the time. Sigh... Dunno why. =_=

I am disappointed in people around me, very disappointed indeed. Apparently, they condemn my presence because I tend to stammer in my speech and trust me, I've tried my very best to serve people and it isn't entirely my fault that I can't get into clients' good books, I mean, I can't please anyone as and when I like!

It's not that I am and like to be a loner, I'd very much love to go around in groups of people, laughing and have fun under the sun but there's too many disappointments. I've tried contacting my ex colleagues and friends and all of them never return my cell phone messages.

I wish I can vanish from this world. I'm tired of struggling.

Feeling uneasy and unsure whether I'm making the right choice. Every step I take, I cannot help looking back, wondering if this is the path I really want. Somehow, I can understand how Harry Potter feels in the novels.

I hope I'm going the right way. I'm scared.

Shakugan no Shana Second 18: Baffled Yuji

Night time near railway, someone working for Bifrons was planning a mission until his team and him were confronted by a strange creature who was seen as their head. They followed him.

Within the barrier, Margery was training Yuji how to use unrestricted spells under the watchful eyes of Shana and the rest. Yuji had asked Wil and Shana to seek Margery's help to train him. Before she left, she passed a sabre like weapon to Yuji. He thanked her. That night, Shana ran after Yuji in the street wanting to ask him something. She noticed him behaving strange lately and he told her that he wanted to move on with her as flame haze so that he could become stronger. He bidded night to her and left. Shana watched him leave before running off. She was puzzled for she was not feeling happy when she was supposed to be. When Yuji reached home, he found his mother dozing on the table, appearing pale. She collapsed.

The next day, Yuji did not turn up for school. Shana and Yoshida were puzzled. Oga asked Tanaka to go shopping with her and he agreed happily. Shana was worried by news of Yuji's mother's falling ill. She hurried off the moment the school ended. Ike encouraged Yoshida to go for Yuji if she wanted to. She thanked him and ran off to buy food for Yuji's mother. At home, Yuji was cooking dinner when Shana stormed in to visit his mother. Shana was happy to see her looking better and promised to take Wil next time to nurse her back to health. That evening, Yuji accompanied Shana as they walked. He wondered what happen if he were to vanish one day. Upon knowing Yuji's mother's illness, Wil prepared a gift for her. That night, Yoshida passed something to Yuji for his mother.

Next morning, Yuji felt his chest and went to check on his mother. He sensed something not right. Wil, in the meantime, passed things to Shana so that she could give to Yuji's mother. She overheard Yuji's conversation with Yoshida that he was ready to leave with Shana to avoid trouble created to the city. Yoshida was upset that Yuji apologised and ran off. Yuji ran into Shana who was angry that Yuji was lying to her since yesterday. From the top, someone was watching Yuji. Wil asked Shana why she had not pass the item to Yuji. Elsewhere, Yuji was surrounded by a group of identical men.

I'm so tired and brain dead to do thinking right now so I watched some Q-version Shana anime..

It's the funny version based on existing storyline, twisting the characteristics of the characters in the plot.

Shana and Yoshida are constantly at girl war with each other and Shana never fails to eat her melon bread on Yuji's head. Her poor chain is always on wandering journal. And chibi grumpy Shana is cute.

Bleach Issue #310:

Yachiru, Ichigo and Orihime watched on in shock as Kenpachi laid unconscious by the impact. Orihime ran towards Yachiru before the Espada planned to hurt her. Ichigo was being blocked back by her power. Yachiru told the Espada to look at his back. Before he could do so, his arm was cut..... by Kenpachi. Infuriated, the Espada fought Kenpachi.

D.Gray Man Issue #148:

The nurse checked in the dark and was relieved to see Rabi and Lenalee safe and sound. Lenalee was moved to tears when the head nurse lent her shoes to wear. She cried and told the nurse that she did not want everyone, especially Komui to be upset. Suddenly, the alarm sounded informing the destruction of the 5th lab. Meanwhile, Komui and the rest were trying to hinder the movement of Akuma Level 4. Level 4 confronted Komui for he was the head officer of the Black Order. Kanda arrived in time to save Komui. Hebraska called Komui to take the Innocence out of her and to leave the place so as to rebuild the base else where. She was prepared to sacrifice herself. Leverrier rushed to look for Lenalee, demanding her to go with him.

Allen decided he would live for akuma as his legs collapsed under the akuma's attack. As he fell, the akuma took the chance to intensify his attack on him. He struck off Fou who tried to help Allen. Bak sent his attacks at the akuma but his attacks were ineffective. Bak and Fou were hit. In the water, Allen begun to reflect his goal of never giving up and of many people around him. With that his Innocence was activated in bright lights before Fou and Bak. He would use his right arm for human and his left one for akuma. His Innocence attained a new form. His new form blocked the akuma's attacks on Fou and Bak. Allen Walker rose in a new image - the Crowned Clown. His clawed left arm went forward and slashed the akuma. The akuma told Allen that Tyki and the other Noah were the masterminds of the plots and they were now in Edo. Allen destroyed the akuma, saving the soul within him.

Bleach #160:

Rukia was stabbed by the Espada who had devoured Kaien's soul. Rukia had flashbacks of her time with Kaien in the past when she first met him.

Currently just finished the first 5 chapters of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows' last night. Harry's uncle, aunty and Dudley had to leave the house upon nearing of his 17th birthday to avoid attacks by Voldermort. It turned out Dudley did not dislike Harry after all and they bidded farewell for the last time before they parted. Mad Eye, Lupin and the rest went to fetch Harry. Ron and the rest took the poly juice to take the form of Harry so as to act as decoys. Mad-Eye and Hedwig died in the process. Harry's wand did a strange move to act on its own accord and escaped the dangerous encounter with Voldermont.

He wished her the best in her volleyball tournament and suggested her getting Tanaka to join in as well. Other place, Tanaka avoided Satou.

Other place, Yoshida continued to look at the Hougu given to her by Pheles. Within the barrier, Shana was training Yuji as usual. Meanwhile, Tanaka was playing in archie, dazed. On the rooftop, Satou asked Shana out to ask her on Outlaw. Along the corridor, Oga ran over to meet Tanaka to ask him to eat bentou with her. She asked him where he was distaning away from the rest. She was upset because Tanaka was not acting like his usual self. That evening, Tanaka met Satou along the way. He told him about normal humans who can fight along side with Flame Hazes. Tanaka was not interested and walked off.

New day, Oga was not concentrating as she wondered if she had been too harsh with Tanaka. In the apartment, Wil, Shana and Yuji were doing researches. Wil told them of Destructive Blade-Sabrac. Wil had almost been killed by him once but Pheles and Johan had saved her in the nick of time. In Margery's apartment, Satou asked her to let her work as an Outlaw to support her operation. She told him about the destruction of a few Outlaws' bases. Ike met Tanaka about Oga's match and he quickly went to watch it. Oga regained her spirit and played better than earlier. Within the barrier, Shana's training with Yuji went on. That night, Tanaka called Satou out to apologise him. He told Satou that he couldn't face Margery anymore for he wanted Oga to stay safe and alive. Satou told him that he was glad he had his own path to go. He returned the bookmark which Margery had given him some times before to Satou so that he could pass it to her on his behalf. Tanaka walked away.

D.Gray Man #69: Invasion

Fou called out for Bak's name as she called him to hide Allen from the akuma. Allen in the meanwhile saw the akuma which came out of Fou's body. He saw the black butterfly which he had last seen with Tyki. Fou called Allen to run away but he refused. The akuma shot him in his chest. One of the researcher ran to help Allen and found the shoot to be thread like. The akuma planned to take Allen's modecules back to the Noah family. Bak came to cut the thread from Allen so that his subordinates could carry him away from the intruder while he himself helped Fou away. The building was on high alert. The researchers were panicking because Allen turned translucent as his molecules barely held themselves together. The researchers and Bak hurried to seal themselves from the akuma, but the akuma was also making its way towards them as the door was sealed between them.

Fou told Allen not to give up as she took his form to fight the akuma so as to buy them time. Allen called her to stop. She leaped away from them as the wall sealed between them, confronting the akuma alone. Allen leaped at the shrinking opening but failed. He cried out for Fou. Fou whispered farewell to Bak as she flew at the akuma, slashing at him. At the other side of the wall, Allen demanded Bak to open the wall so that he could save Fou but he refused. Allen saw through Bak was more upset with Fou's departure and he decided to open the wall by himself. All of them held him back. Allen begun to threaten Bak with his possession of Rinali's photos. Taking the chance, he tried to pass Bak but he continued to stop him.

He knew his heart was searching for akuma. Finally convinced, Bak let Allen go. Bak's tears fell. At the other side of the wall, Fou fell. Just then, the real Allen attacked the akuma before it could kill Fou.

Shakugan no shana second #16: Everlasting Love

The Seishuu festival was finally over and the students were removing the decorations in the school. Ike was being pulled by the usual girl-Fujita to help her in her stuff. They came across the costume wore by Fumina and no one else remembered her presence. Shana and the rest recalled the time of her disappearance.

In other place, the priestress who had same face of Fumina transferred Reiji Maigo extracted from Yuji to her subordinates and then to a bounded armor, bringing it to life.

In school, Yuji was still brooding over vanishing of Fumina when Satou told him that Margery wanted to see him so as to examine him again. Yoshida was still thinking of the cross necklace that was given to her which she wore it. She was told that it was for people who could use Hougu. That night, Wil and Margery, together with Satou, Shana and Yoshida assembled in the living room, monitoring the examination of Yuji's power. They were still in shock that Fumina had been on lookout for Reiji Maigo in the past. Yuji was informed that a seal like a transmitter had been implanted within Reiji Maigo in Yuji's body. Shana was determined to protect Yuji. The group were informed by Alastor of a city that attracted flame hazes and Tomogara.

Next day, Yuji's father bidded farewell to Shana, Yoshida, Yuji and his wife as he was going abroad. After Yuji's parents walked off, Shana told him to follow her. Yoshida bidded farewell with them and left alone. At the overhead bridge, Yoshida felt herself slightly jealous of Shana. She thought of Peles's words. Oga met her and together they went to Tanaka's place. They reached a place where they had seen Fumina. Oga could not remember who Fumina was. Wil, Shana and Yuji in the meanwhile were flipping through books to extract more information.

In other place, the armor was moving under the receival of strength from Reiji Maigo.

In the bar, Margery was still thinking of the seal on Reiji Maigo. In the street, Yoshida was walking and reflecting Pheles's words. She knew she would disappear if she used the Hougu Pheles had given her. But she wanted to stay in the same place as Shana and Yuji. She activated it. Meanwhile, Shana was training Yuji to fight using a spear like weapon. Yoshida witnessed the training within the barrier.

New day, the priestress was looking up at a bird, thinking of something.
