I May Never Be The Same

SPOILER WARNING

Oh. My. God. I just finished watching Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Tokyo Revelations OVA and my hands are still shaking. It was freaking AWESOME!!!!!! I mean wow. At one point mom asked what I was watching and laughed because I was treating it so intensely. I mean I had to go to my room and wait for her to stop laughing. After I yelled at her, "It's not funny!!!!" That made her laugh harder. I was very, very, very annoyed.

Again, oh my god! That thing was so intense. When you find out about the Syaoran/clone/heart thing. It was as intense as when I was reading the chapters in the TRC manga about Fai/Yuui/Asura. Oh, my hands were shaking then too. I think while watching Tokyo Revelations I started crying at one point- or several points. When Sakura has to kill the mutants to get the glowing orb to pay Yuuko and she got hurt and was talking about selfish desires- so sad.

What really got me was when the S Clone (that's his abreviation for me) took Fai's eye, I was clutching the chair so hard it hurt. Yes, I'm a Fai fangirl, so sue me. I really liked the vampire mix as well. And when Fai was dying and was telling them to let him die so the power of his eye that's in S Clone's head would die too. I just about burst into tears, but I kept them quiet. Then Kurogane desides he will become Fai's E to save Fai's life I was ready to dive into the screen and kiss everyone there.

There were some funny parts too. Such as when they kill the mutants and say they're good for eating, Mokona freaks out because one of the younger teens called him a mutant. "Ahh, Mokona was called a mutant earlier, will you eat Mokona too?" Or something like that. Actually, that was the only funny part.

I was suprised by the seriousness Fai let himself fall to. However, the voice actor played it well and CLAMP (the creators) when they wrote this did an excellent job of making sure the seriousness still fit Fai's character. You could tell, expecially when he's explaining it to Yuuko, that Fai is not an originally happy person. Of course I already knew this from the manga.
In the comment box a lot of people did not like the fact that the Syaoran that we all know and love was a clone.

Well, I just wanted to share this with you and I guess, bye for now.

P.S. I love Tsubasa Chronicle!!!!!!!!




I thought this picture really encompasses the end of Tokyo Revelations. The Syaoran in the front is the real one. You can tell because both his eyes are brown.

Fan art for Dummies

Hi, I'm pretty sure that by now you know who's posting on this blog, but I'll say it any way. It's me Ren- again.

Today is a special day because yesterday I realized something important. I have A Lot of Fanart to do. So yeah. I have already done some FB fan art and I have done 1 good MR fan art and one bad MR fan art. I have done no TRC fan art, no SC fan art, no MM fan art. How I got away with that I know not. I have done no TMM fan art either! So today, I'm trying to catch up on that. Although I really don't think I'm going to do KuroFai fan art. Although I like some of the stuff people come up with. Some of it is weird, but some of it is HILARIOUS! I mean seriously. Like this one:



The translation is this:
1) Sakura: Fai-san...
Fai: Yes, Sakura-chan?
Sakura: Why do u like chocolate so much?
Syaoran: !
Kurowanko: ...
2) Fai: Because... It's sweeeeeet!
3) Fai: Because it's veeeeeeery good!
And I'm not putting the translation for the last box. Click on the credit link and you'll see the translation. And yes, I did happen look the definition up. (Note: Kurowanko is Kurogane.)

You may think that (after clicking the link) this would be in my category of weird. You're wrong. This is in my category of HILARIOUS! For it to be truly hilarious you must see the KuroFai relationship in the first half of the anime and know the characters, but even if you don't, it still should be funny.
I don't usually go for yaoi and at first was not liking KuroFai, but now I'm looking at that fan art more and finding a mixture of stuff. There are some weird ones, some funny ones, and some really sweet ones. And then there are some that make me go "WHAT! What the?" and I skip to a new page.
Well, I think this is long enough, bye and good luck on whatever you may need good luck on.

Key to acronyms:
FB= Fruits Basket
MR= Maximum Ride
TRC= Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
SC= Shugo Chara
MM= Mermaid Melody (in general, not specifying and season)
TMM= Tokyo Mew Mew

FrenezaDeziri- if you find this and want me to take your picture down tell me in a comment. I will take it down.

Movie Reviews

Hi. Today has not been a good day. I hurt my toe. I've had a headache off and on all afternoon. Oh, there it is, back again. Anyway, lets ignore my troubles and get to the reason for this post.

First, I watched Bolt a couple of days ago. It was very funny! The hamster was energetic, clueless, and funny. The cat was trying to convince Bolt that he was a movie character and his super powers weren't real. Also, since they weren't real they were unaffected by Styrofoam. Bolt is your typical superhero dog. Almost all the powers of Superman, just no flying. The girl is voiced by Miley Cyrus who does an excellent job of voicing Penny. It is a funny, family friendly movie. I guarantee laughter and you won't be disappointed by this animated movie.

Also a few days ago I watched Ultraviolet. I have been wanting to see this movie ever since it came out. So I was very excited about seeing it. I had heard that the fight scenes were the only good parts, but I still wanted to watch it. I had seen the two major fight scenes in a video on You Tube. I was not disappointed. It is action packed, fast paced, and exciting. Not very funny and pretty serious, but it has a bit of a shock in a few parts. It's an excellent movie and depending on what your looking for, you probably won't be disappointed.

Hope this helps if your planing to watch the movies. I highly recommend Bolt.

P.S. My last post was like, my longest post ever!
P.P.S. My headache is gone- oh spoke too soon, but it is less hurtful.

News Cast On My Life

Hellooooooo and good morning this is Ren with today's weather forecast. In Schwienfurt you can expect still more rain, possibly one sunny day, then... more rain. Today we also had a spot of whining dog when the mom left and a mirror finally out of Ren's room. Now for the traffic report. 

        It's a bit slow today. Not much going on. This morning the mom and dad took some things to the thrift store. Including the mirror in Ren's room. Ren was awake resonably early and was starting her day before everyone else for a change. Later while her parents were away she dusted the all of the living room shelves. There were no accidents and, like I said, it's a pretty slow day. 

       Now for other random somewhat important news. 
      Well, there's not much to report. Summer has started. I'm playing tennis (sort of) again. I'm reading lots of books and raising another weeks worth of allowance + $1 so I can buy an iTunes card. I has many songs I'd like to buy. I still love Avril Lavigne, but am, again, in conflict about my favorite song. We all know my favorite song is We Are by Ana Johnsson, but I think I may change it. 

    I just like so many songs. It's hard to choose one and stick with it. I'm also thinking about not having a favorite song. It would be simpler, but I would have to explain it to people who ask.

           And now  for entertainment.
          I have decided not to talk about manga/anime, so I will speak of the awesome movies I watched. Yesterday I watched Ultraviolet which I have wanted to see for a long time. I loved it and was very pleased with how it turned out.

      The day before yesterday I watched Bolt and loved that too. I found it predictable, but incredibly funny. I hope to own that movie. Not only because I love it, but also so my mom will hopefully stop quoting the line 'spicey eyes, spicey eyes!' from one of the funniest scenes in the movie.

  That's the news. 
  ~Ren

P.S. I had to do alot of editing becouse at first I had my alter egos writing this, but mom made me change it. Maybe that's best since not everyone should know. Hmmm. I will think on this.

I'm so happy no amount of gloating can do it justice

       
       For real this time. I'm getting soooo much manga. Here- let me clarify.
       Thursday, May 28 I bought/ordered 3 manga from Amazon (I love you Amazon *says in fangirl voice*). Thursday a week later they came. Yesterday I ordered 2 more manga from Barnes and Noble with a present gift card. They will come in "3-8 business days".
      I have found out that while I swear to never watch the movie Twilight (it can never be as good as the book) I do like the soundtrack. Except they messed up Bella's lullaby. It's only piano- hello. Edward wasn't playing 5 other instruments- just piano! Sheesh.
    I have found from the soundtrack I might like Paramore- or just the 2 songs on the soundtrack.
    I'm obsessed with Fruits Basket. That's the manga i've been buying. I have other manga, but only one in the other series. However, I hope to own Vampire Knight, too. 
   Also, my Thumb Drive is full. I only use it for manga/anime pics and it's full! Wow. Now I have to buy another one! *Sigh*
   
    I like school, but now school is coming to a close..... YAY!!!!!  No more homework! No more Greek and Latin roots! No more book projects! (Yes, in Schwienfurt middle school 6th grade, they still do book projects.) 
    Also, I'm in National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). I'm also going to run for Vice President of NJHS.
     Okay, that's my update. I'll try to blog more- maybe. (Did I use too many of these ()?)
     ~Ren
As I've mentioned- all pictures put on here do not belong to me. Thx.
