LAZY Numbers!!
I was supposed to make at least monthly entries, if not weekly, but yeah well, been lazy (can I actually name the final exams as an excuse?) and here is another entry after a long period of dormancy.
Recently, I've caught on to the sudoku craze thanks to my aunt who introduced it to my mom who keeps bugging me about the puzzles that appear on the daily newspaper. Sudoku is by no means difficult, and sometimes i find the most difficult ones (rated: EVIL) easier than those rated EASY. Either way, it really comes down to the type of logic needed and applied all over the nine times nine squares. Well, it can be extremely easy if we were as meticulous and mechanical in tabling the possible numbers for every square and working by elimination, but then again, its extremely boring and tiresome to do so. I do it with a combination of will power, a bit of guesswork and verification from all the numbers i can gather!!
Recently a few new animes caught my attention. First up is Black Lagoon!! A nice one about a salaryman who was ordered to deliver a disc to clients of the large conglomerate he works for, he was kidnapped when the Russian Mafia decided to hire some pirates with a torpedo craft to erm, retrieve the disc. His boss told him "Rokuro, for the sake of the x0,000 employees of Asahi Industries, please disappear and die. We will promote you to manager and give you a wonderful funeral." With that, the pirates took him in, and made him 'Rock' instead, which this nigger tough guy leader of the pirates calls him. Levi is the lady in the gang, who is nicknamed two hands. She usually looks rough and noisy, but grew up in a crime-racked city, with guns and knifes. Next up is the IT man Benny!! He was rescued by Levi while being pursued by both the FBI and mafia for some erm... hacking adventures.
Then comes the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu). Here we have a gag anime, and i think its better to be surprised and find out about yourself what the whole affair is all about. Basically, its very well drawn, high quality and detailed animation done by Kyoto Animation (think Fumoffu) and the jokes are, well, clever.
Other than the adventures above, Kiba and Soul Link are worth watching, while I have also seen the first episode of Tokko. It does live up to the quality of the manga, although the gory parts could have been better made, and the art style, as with what happened to GTO, cant really follow the original way characters are cute, or have very unique expressions.
That aside, Ergo Proxy is nice!! And besides anime, other than the latest chapters of Bleach and Gantz, I have caught on to a few different manga over the time that I have kept quiet. First of is Golden Boy. Funny, a bit ecchi, but very entertaining. Then comes Shining Musume by Shiwasu no Okina. Not much to say about this, its pure hentai with lotsa you know... body fluids splashing all over the place, and the characters absolutely getting screwed left right center and all over the pages. Then comes 'Girlfriend', a nice manga about guys who just have the luck to get in touch with extra cute girls, but who all just dont really want any overly intimate or committed relationships. Yes, they have sexual relationships, but that's as much as it is, they are not really going out or anything. Hmm, talk about hornines... hey wait a minute!! Why are all the mangas i read something like this?! No!! Wait!! This is not me!! Argh!! Help!! I am becoming Hentai!! no~~~
Nah, there is always To Love Ru, which in kana form actually spells, to ra bu ru, which can be pronounced 'Trouble'. It's a title with double meaning, and both meanings fit the manga well. First chapter done by Illuminati-Manga, rather funny and enjoyable, and drawn by the author of Black Cat - Yabuki Kentaro.
All in all, it's been a rather fun week. Hope life continues this way.
