Update: a few different things / REAL Animes VS FAKEIMES

I haven't had a lot of time these late nights so I've been trying to do my homework, and watch the Teen Titans and make posts here and all of that can get every over whelming if you've ever tried to keep up a blog.
Now then I know that many of you don't believe Teen Titans is a REAL anime, and well here's my opinion. I really like the TV show, and it's an easy one too watch and have fun with so I figured that we could all have some fun with it, I mean even if you dislike Teen Titans its pretty funny to make fun of. So please keep reading the next few blog posts will have to do with T.T. but soon enough the phase will pass, I will finish what I've started, and we can get onto more serious things, LIKE KUROSHITSUJI! HAVE YOU ALL BEEN KEEPING UP WITH IT? well i kept up till 3 then decided to wait till a few more came out and then watch them all on one night with my friend so don't send me spoilers! XD please!
So, T.T. may be a controversial anime but for the most part its a very high quality TV show and no one says 'BELIEVE IT' so ask yourselves, even though a supposed 'fakeime' may not be the real deal and it may be a cheesy spin off type thing of anime which we all know and love...are ALL animes amazing? NO!!!! And are all fakeimes bad? NO!!! I do not support close mindedness to please maintain that friendly air and mentality with me through out the duration of the blog and we can all have a fun time!

Other than that, school has started back people and I am a junior this year. I have bad news. :/ you know how when your a freshmen...and all the really tall seniors and juniors scare you and you're worried they'll give you wrong directions. Well you remember how the only hope that gets you through that freshman year and most of the sophomore year is that when your a junior and a senior, you'll be able to automatically scare the crap out of sophomores and freshman...well.....THATS NOT TRUE! No....being a scary junior? lies, in order to be a scary mean junior and get all the stupid little noobs to respect you....YOU HAVE TO BE MEAN AND SCARY! you can't be smiley and tell them good directions and lead them to their classes. I was very let down when I was approached so easily by underclassmen and then not only that, when i told them i was a junior, I got zero more respect and none of them cowered in fear! >.<>

WHOOT! MEMORY LANE! Teen titans and men in tights!

Alrighty everyone first things first, in real life congratulate your typing goddess hostess on officially loosing 25 pounds today! yaaay! alright but onto more important things! (( as referred to in the title we all know we care more about men in tights! :D haha yaaay! well...hot men in tights! >.< ))

Lets address things in order though, shall we?
I am proud to announce that I have finished the first season of the teen titans! :D HIP HIP HOORAY! *raven*" three cheers for you yippee...can we get on with this thing now? " *Starfire* "We have chowed down upon the sticky and hard candies and gained the dreaded pounds as we took the metaphorical walk down memory lane! Let us rejoice as we convey our findings to the public! Raven please celebrate with us!" *Raven glares at her and I glare at her for a different reason*
*AHEM!* Anyways...onto business....
I may be a tad bit biased here, but I have rather enjoyed this series so far. relatively it seems to be rather, without a plot, but its alright for now. However if I have finished season one and I am a first time viewer no longer wishing for more of this warm fuzzy feeling, without an annoying cliff hanger at the end I am not compelled to see more of it, HOWEVER! I am NOT a first time viewer of the series, I DO long for more of that wonderfully warm fuzzy feeling this show gives me, making me laugh and what not and so there fore I am compelled to continued onto the second season. I have found this first season to be a rather success in the following areas: I was rarely bored and wishing to skip episodes, I laughed quite a bit, there was not sooo much romance that I wanted to shoot myself in the brain, there was hardly any, but there was enough romance to get a hopeless romantic through the series. :) so if you're a hopeless romantic and dieing for romance you can watch this anime without fear, there is plenty to keep you satisfied and keep your action friend not wishing to kill them selves. :D I know this is a child's anime but still I love it. The action was great, and I really feel like I know the characters throughly, I am really very attached as a viewer of the TV show, and I have been fully satisfied in the fact that pretty much each and every character had plenty of screen time to allow me to get closer to them and learn something new about them. ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THIS ANIME IS THE GUYS IN TIGHTS! ((I.E. in season one my favorites is Robin and Aqualad. ..... beast boy not so much.))
I really like star fire but as a fan girl of robin's i wish she would die....*raven and starfire too busy to notice me speaking* *ahem* alrighty! I loved cyborg he's really cool and I dislike nothing about him so far! I enjoy the fact that he is an alpha male who meshes well with robin, another alpha male, creating a beautiful collaboration for the team! Raven is just plain AWESOME! I think she is sooooo cool! 8D i guess you could say im kind of a raven fan girl as well to a certain extent. :D ....and well..then theres beast boy, not bad...he didn't dazzle me though. :/ although i believe he will soon enough!

If i could change one thing about the first season it would be: I would add a few more episode with the villain character Slade! I need the build up for the main villain of season and well....in the last two episodes when robin and his friends faced off against Slade, I was not the least bit on the edge of my seat or nervous, Slade needed a bit more character development and interaction with the team face to face for my particular tastes. :/

NOTES! :D HOOORAAAAAAY! HUZAH! *jump!*
((spoiler warning beware))

1st of all- I'd like to discuss the future of the teen titans. :/ lets be realistic for moment everyone, please. Think logically with me a moment, these are some of the notes I have jotted down through out the first season.

Starfire: She had like REAL super hero powers you know? ((one thing that bothers me is that her StarBolts push people back but make building explode. :/ what up with that man? what are they like safety scissors where they don't cut human flesh? if so that needs to be corrected! XD )) She's like..an alien who came to earth for some reason and now she's a super hero ((a teen super hero i guess so kind of like in trained whatever technicalities!)) Point is she could do real damage if she took the safety off her StarBolts! She could be a real super way cool actual fighting crime on her own hero! -once she learned out customs and stuff >.< - but power wise, stay with me.
meanwhile she is crushing on a regular human who knows karate, wears tights -all the time? and what the hell is with his eyes?! WHERE ARE THEY?! HOW DOES HE SEE THROUGH THE WHITE MATERIAL!????? - ,and has a bunch of fancy toys. Sure he's a super hero and a great guy and all but if we're talking power wise and pure just physical SHE'S SO OUT OF HIS LEAGUE! Robin is totally taking advantage of the fact that she doesn't know anything about our culture and so she thinks he's cool! XD hahahahaha that crazy robin is sly isn't he?

Raven: she can totally kick ass on her own she'll be fine in the future but I think she'd take along beast boy *we'll come to him later* since obviously they get together I think since opposites attract and such an awesome girl power super hero will need a stupid boy side kick to abuse in a loving way. :)

Beast Boy: He's plenty awesome but in order to make his power useful you kind of need a brain or someone to direct you sooo...he NEEDS a partner, if he doesnt' stay with raven he'd have to stay with Cyborg or get passed around the team but he couldn't stay with robin/starfire for too long ((he'd cramp their style XD ))

Cyborg: need I say more? He's just plain awesome, he works well with everyone and can take control so he's more useful when he's with other people but he is just fine on his own! :D way to go you!

and finally I saved the best for last...

ROBIN! :
So we all know he was batman's sidekick and all but heres how it went down in my mind. He graduates from being batman's side kick and then signs a contract with japan to have his own team, he starts the teen titans and from there things keep going up! I think he grows up to be super hot meaning he gets taller, puts on some muscle weight, ((cause lets face it...he's a toothpick...a hot one but still..)) grows his hair out, and goes onto become like WORLDS GREATEST SUPER HERO! XD WHOO HOO! ((if you watch first ep of season two you see night wing ;) totally hot stuff right? oh yeah, my robin ladies BACK OFF!))



2.LETS GO OVER EPISODES!

DEEP SIX! : lets take on the arrival of Aqualad! *gets a nosebleed and faints as robin takes out his staff to beat Aqualad to a bloody pulp in jealousy* ((<---HA! yeah right, in my dreams! XD ))
*...ahem* anyways....
I LOVE THE UNIFORM AQUALAD KEEP IT UP! *and dont loose your figure otherwise we'll have to erase you..with a real eraser and thats just not fun...keep the hot bod. its best for us all :D water can act like a magnifying glass and add ten pounds to your appearance so STAY SLENDER!))
I AM YOUR FANGIRL TAKE ME NOW! I LOVE YOUR *takes deep breath* VOICE, HAIR, EYES, EVERY THING! YAAAAAY AQUALAD!
Although don't be jealous Robin we know you grow up to be hotter! ;)

MASKS! :
In masks Robin proves he can kick he entire teams butt! Once again affirming his alpha male authority over the rest of the team as he takes advantage of an animal/two girls/and a man who is disabled...way to be a super hero robin! XD

In this episode as Robin poses as the villain 'Red X' he also makes a comment to Starfire saying "Sorry, I'm not through with you yet!" and now I would like to think of that -even though it pains me! T.T- as some kind of portrayal of Robin's darker alter ego who is confessing that he is not done with starfire as a friend and that he is interested in her physically. XD Robin is such a bad guy and he is soooo good at it!

comentary!
*Its a real shock when your used the the them song being dubbed and when you go to sing along...its all japanese =.= and your screwed and glad your alone in your room...on a friday night...watching teen titans....alone...in your dark room....where were we? oh yes

*I love it when robin gets defensive of starfire and uses a quote like 'YOU GET AWAY FROM HER!'...and then he gets punched in the face....:/ way to go you HUMAN!

*Favorite quality of robin is his determination!

*In the middle of a battle between robin and slade i realized the writers screwed robin over...hard.
First of they made slade super buff and tall against a super scrawny, twig like, short, karate kid...and then in the middle of the battle scene which looked funny enough as it was they made Robin do a comical face like it was HILARIOUS! the writers LOVE to see robin get his but kicked around like a raggedy Anne doll. :P

*and slade makes a particular comment when he takes on robin as his apprentice saying,"Who knows, maybe one day I'll become like a father too you.." Robin dramatically clenches his fist and says '...i alread yhave a father...' he looked up and bats flew every where! and my first thought HOLY CRAP BATMAN IS HIS FATHER! 8[-------------------]


thats all for today thanks for reading see you later!

MWA ha ha ha ha! ((im so evil! well its my hobby))

So hello every one, your typing goddess returned again, i know right? Two posts this close together, insanity right? Well WRONG! I'm going to try and keep updating frequently from now on since I have neglected that in the past. I currently JUST woke up and can't see a WORD I type though sooo yes....it may be a little out of order but I'm sure you can all manage. XD

Just last night I went to see an amy grant concert and I am happy to report she is AMAZING! in concert and out, well if your into that kind of music and fortunately I am. :D i really enjoyed it, she has a very positive aura and even if you don't just LOVE her Christian music she had other songs that aren't ALL about jesus and god and are just for normal people and she is a totally amazing performer everyone! that and she sounds just wonderful! So I highly recommend((weather your a fan of hers or not)) to go see her if you can grab a ticket if you like the sound of her music - you have to give it a chance-, a very positive and loving, accepting crowd, and an all in all GREAT show!

BUT! THATS NOT ANIME OR MANGA AND I HAVE OTHER NEWS THAT IS A CLOSE SECOND!
So, in my spare time I am a roleplayer online in the gaiaonline forums. I will not reveal to you what my username is because i do not want to be riddled with bullets but I am a semi literate to literate type ((which means based on my companions i can type anywhere from two paragraphs to about a page. :D we are among some of the most highly honored but it is a bitch to be one of us because we CAN'T have one liners or we are SHAMED upon FOREVER ONWARD! but then again we also dont have to roleplay with a bunch of mindless noobs so its a give a little get a little. :) ))

Recently I have been onto a kick where I wish to play a SUPER VILLAIN for the roleplays. Its quite alot of fun, especially considering they can't have a good roleplay without a good villain, so its kind of like charity! I mean think about it, NO ONE WANTS TO BE THE VILLAIN! and if anyone is the villain they get tired of it and turned their villain good by falling in love or making a friend and curing their evil well....not my characters! NOOOOO! My evil villains are evil to their very core and they STAY that way. :) HMPH! im like the best evil villain character out there, it crazy too, I'm such a crazy nice person but then I can get online on the forums and just be a super villain and I'm very good at it. I think we have a back up plan for life if i can get scientist to insert microbiology into my blood allowing my to manipulate my blood cells and change my form and temperature....whoo! the world is in for some MAJOR super villain if that happens. XD YEAH! So my original alter ego was a comical romantic who's power was everything she drew came to life, her name was Ariko and she was AWESOME! I still love her, I have a BILLION other alter egos but she was my main one for a while and i had a few other mains, well....my most recent main is a super villain named ALICE LACOURE. Her power - cell manipulation. Her Nick Name - Grand Illusion ((<---took me forever to come up with btw))
Since I am almost out of time I will begin to conclude.

Well I spent hours one day filling out profiles and requesting to being rps and well...while i was waiting i got a little bored...so....I googled teen titans episodes 1.....then 2....and now I am happy to inform you all I am about to embark upon episode 7 and this time I am determined to watch it all the way through! *jump gleefully* Hooray! *as starfire would say* Let s prepare to embark down the metaphorical street known as memory lane! We will need the junk food and a movie! I will go gather them! *starfire walks away and I come back* alright bye bye then see you later!
*looks at you* and I'll see you later as well. *waves* BYEE!

Been a long time

Hello Everyone!
School it starting back and I, you're Typing Goddess Host, acknowledges that she had neglected all of you for the summer, but fear not she is BACK with much wisdom she did not possess before! ((well maybe not much but some at least))
First off, I am in the process of joining the local anime club in Memphis TN called MOOGLE I believe you can also find them on this blogspot.com. :) little tip for the locals so yeah, they meet on the first sun of every month ((i think kinda forgot)) at Garabaldis a pizza place down next to memphis University! :D really amazing food everyone!

Secondly I would like to point out that in the following picture you will see below :
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m164/Aarons_Girl_01/anime/Mushu.jpg
((Mushu 'reflects before he snacks' *snicker* hahaha mulan tried to cheat on a test!))
Mushu is eating a 'potsticker' :) I never knew what it was and then i found out what a dumpling was so i was like alright its a dumpling, looks likes one, right? and then i discovered potstickers! :D yaaay! and apparently Mulan and her gang were left with just a whole bunch of potstickers to get them back home, and btw in this scene she's in very thin clothing I noticed. Before she was in her armor that belonged to her -well her father anyways-, i wonder what happened to it? did the army confiscate it? because that would have kept her very warm in all of that snow! :\

and third, if you put enough hot sauce and salsa on something, anything can taste AMAZING!....or absolutely terrible!...i warn you all, be wary of what you try to spice up it may not bode well for you in the end -.O

alrighty...ANIME AND MANGA!
i regretfully inform you all I have yet to watch/rewatch and mainstream anything lately but thats not really an issue right now. I am currently picking up an adored manga called BlackCat once again and it is MARVELOUS!
((beware only spoilers for first manga))
Train Heartnet was once a house cat and assassin and used his gun to bring bad luck upon ALL who dared defy his masters! Being the 13th assassin to join the group and the bringer of badluck -death that is- he earned the nick name Black Cat! Feared in the underground and reigning supreme however that was all he was. Until one day he had a change of heart, when he tried to leave his masters killed the house cat that tried to become a stray...or did they.
Our story picks up soon after with a cheery young fellow who is a 'sweeper' with his partner and best friend 'Svenny Baby!' well Sven for his dignity's sake. *snicker* hehe ((im a MAJOR sven fan haha)) A sweeper catches criminals and turns them in for reward money and they have to take them in alive. :) nice clean job, well kinda. Our forementioned cheery young fellow, Train Heartnet, has an insatiable appetite and an UNQUENCHABLE THIRST FOR ......milk?
BANG! BANG! BANG! an action packed thriller of a manga that i have read the first few of and i will continue to read and keep you posted on is non-stop action, and all in all a pretty much romance free zone! :D enjoy!

Trying to Draw Manga - Your Guide to Guides - Part 1

Let me begin by saying, I have just recently received a copy of The Monster Book of Manga:Draw Like the Experts ((the link is below if you would like to see it after my current review)). Well Let me being by saying this is NOT a user-friendly book. It is very vague in everything it says. When I say it's vague I mean yes it shows you, as in it gives you pictures, but it doesn't tell you HOW to do it, and it doesn't actually aid you as a hot-to book should. When I purchase a book to teach me I expect actual techniques that I can use and manipulate and that is usually what i get when I purchase a high quality book, which are NOT always expensive with pretty covers.

Please do not let the pretty pictures and shiny plastic that it comes encased in fool you. This book is not for beginners. This book is for very experienced artists who know what they are doing. ((although even if a experienced artist is picking up a how-to book, i still expect the basics, which, as i said earlier are techniques that can be easily manipulated by the reader)) I Have become aware that there are other versions of this Monster Manga book however, and I intend to get to the bottom of this and determine weather all of the books in this series is a complete failure in it's genre, or if this particular one is just meant for experienced artists. I am a experienced artist and I sill find the book vague myself, I do not prefer it. This is my personal opinion, but obviously, you knew that, otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this. I learned to draw manga and anime a more common way that can be manipulated easily and is fairly easy to pick up as well, it is also very easy to make advances in it.

In the Monster Book of Manga:Draw Like the Experts the author has chosen to use a particularly difficult way to build his characters structures that is different from the norm. But as we all know, normal is not always better. I am willing to give this.....Estudio Joso and Fernando Casaus the benefit of the doubt on this one and I will report back to you all very soon with the results from his other books. I prey that you do not waste your money on this particular one if you are looking for somthing that is clear and easy to understand.

In the mean time do NOT fear for I have saved the day for all of you. I know, I am truly a savior of sorts. If you are a beginner or intermediate -or just looking to update you skills and refresh your drawing technique and advanced- I will always, always, ALWAYS! recommend How to Draw:Shoujo Featuring the authors Robert Acosta, Pual Kilpatrick, Ben Dunn, Rod Espinosa, and David Hutchison.
I will attach a link for this book as well do not fear.

For the rest of you who are interested in drawing action and not just shoujo I have another book. Unfortunately this one IS for more experienced artists, but let me tell you it is not vague and it includes many extras to it such as : the history of manga, creating characters, setting..etc.
this is a wonderful book I will recommend and it is called Art of Drawing Manga by Sergi Camara and Vanessa Duran I will....include a link below.

In closeing, the subject of a poor how-to guide has been brought to my attention. I have suggected to you TWO! -count them, two- very high quality books that you can use in the stead of the Monster Book of Manga. I intend to do more research on this subject and get back to you, my readers, with more information on this very important subject.

with love, and happy vibes,
sincerely
Alleigh Brown
