Went to See Wedlock The Band

2013-01-17T21:35:00.004-08:00

When I went to see Wedlock, it reminded me of all the times I had watching some of my favorite bands. The performance was so much fun and they really knew how to entertain us while on stage. I found that most people were rocking out right next to them as well which really inspired me through out the whole experience.

Have you ever went to a Wedlock performance? It's something that you truly can't forget about. Its a great feeling knowing that you can wait so long to find a small band like them that rocks as hard as the popular bands. You can hear most of their songs on sound cloud which is awesome. I try to listen to them once a day or so, just to support and the fact that I love the must so much as well.

Make sure that you check this band out because you will find yourself singing along right away. Their lyrics and everything is perfect. I can relate to their songs as well which is something that I really like about them. Most music I listen to needs to have that type of connection between it all.

Remember that you can see them to and they have some pages that I personally would love you guys to check out.

Durarara!! Review is Together!

2011-10-15T14:21:00.000-07:00

Durarara!! is becoming more and more intense as the season goes on. I want to show you guy`s! I went ahead the other day and wrote a Full Durarara Review. It`s simple, Durarara has became on of the most thrilling and largest Anime`s to have "escaped" japan.

Yes, Durarara feel through Japan before being aired and America was able to view/air it first. This was extremely exciting because usually Japan is ahead of us with watching and releasing anime. Well, it turns out that America got their hands on it first. It air`s on Adult Swim every Saturday night! (Anime Night)

In my Review I explain the character`s the storyline and more.

Fan Art - Aisaka

2011-10-07T23:46:00.000-07:00

Here is a piece of work from a girl who loves to draw! I asked her if I could post this on my Blog to show you guy`s that with a little bit of time and hard work you can make something like this. She Loves to express her self through drawing picture`s like this. She uses the Anime style of it all to get things together.

Words can be so powerful, but in this artwork it shows that actions mean just as much!

Ever Wonder if You can Change the Anime World?

2011-10-01T21:22:00.000-07:00

So I have been thinking and I thought of something that I wanted to share with you guys. Its simple but intense and something that we should all think about once in a while. Have you ever wanted to Affect the way/future of an Anime/Manga?

Basically, I have this little dream that I wanted to share with you guys. I want to support an Anime (Any Anime) and share to as much people as I know! then to take all those people and make them support it just as much as I am.

Having all these people share this one Anime would be incredible. Then the more people who watch and support this anime will determine the faith of it. For example, an Anime with lots of views and many comment`s/tweets/blog posts, about the series is a successful anime to the creators.

This means that the rating are going to be high and can determine if there would be another season or possibly a movie of the anime. I feel like the reason why anime`s stop being produced is because the viewer moves on and doesn`t want it.

If their`s no Demand for it so why should they supply it nor support it?

So I guess what I am "Ranting" About is the fact that, I want to support the Anime world, and The ways I show my support is through blogging about it.

I also tweet and Update my statue on facebook about anime all the time. It`s so important to me, to spread the Anime Love. If you want to support then go ahead and support their are many ways to support a simple way is just watching it.

Watching Anime

Watching Anime is a great way to support the Anime World, When you watch it your giving the producers a reason to make more. Again, Supply and Demand!

Halloween: Candy, Candy and lots of Japanese Candy!

2011-09-10T00:15:00.000-07:00

Halloween is coming are you ready for this Sweet adventure? So let`s try having an Anime Halloween this year? What is that well it`s a way to support and show off your hobby! I did it last year and I want to tell you all about it!

Basically, Your Cosplaying! it`s easy and very fun one your "Costume" is made. So for the Anime Fan`s That don`t know what Cosplaying is let me explain. First up! Cosplaying is you dressing up (putting on a costume) of any character in any anime or manga series you have read or watched before. You dress up to look exactly like the anime character you want to.

So Anime Halloween is on the day of Halloween in October when you walk the neighborhood dressed up as your character you picked from the anime or manga series you wanted to.

Now, True story guys! Last year I went around with some of my friends and I dressed up as "Mello
" Fom Deathnote. That Anime and Manga Series is one that I could Die for (Not completely..) But any who, I walked my town all dressed up in a Whig and everything. Some people even thought I was a girl because I had super tight clothing on ...

I looked like this!! and As much fun as it was in the end I wanted the candy! Which brings me to the topic I wanted to share with you all. Did you know that Amazon sell`s Japanese Candy? I got some and it was awesome! ... Sorry about that random thought ..

Anyway`s Japanese Candy is outstanding you have to have some anyone think so?

I mean look at the way they package everything? I would totally want to buy something like this! right?

Anime Fan`s Crave

How important is Anime Night?

2011-08-14T20:49:00.000-07:00

So here is the question everyone :

How Important is Anime Night to an Anime Fan?

Well, for My answer I feel that it is extremely important to watch Anime and have an Anime night in fact it`s so important that I find it completely weird if you do not have some type of Anime Night? Are you a Real Anime Fan then?

What your thoughts on this? Though

Anime Night is a tradition from were I come from.. Its like what I would say bigger than the super bowl and american idol together in my house. I have it at least once a week and most of the time It is way more. I go on netflix when I dont have any work or have some time to burn and watch Anime episodes just because I can and It`s so much fun. Anime is a Stress Killer in fact they say it is healthy for you.

Stress can kill everything so make sure that you can take care of that. My advice to that as of right now is that watching anime will get your mind off of things and it will make you smile! I personally went through this type of stuff and Now I want to share with the world of Anime that it is so important to keep watching anime.

"Anime will always love you back, it will never leave you"

Anime Seasons - Which do you like?

2011-08-06T23:54:00.000-07:00

Well, Anime these days in Japan and America both get produced fast in fact Japan has a system that they follow to know when the next anime will premier and be airing. Anime episodes has a way to be added all up and to determine when the series will end. Such as how much Episodes will be in a season and how much seasons will be created. Now, the system is a little different for Anime Movies, these days because it takes so much time to make them and so much time for them to be published. This is ok though because with Anime being produced left and right these days that will keep most of the Anime Lovers busy for it all.

When Anime Movies are being pushed out from Japan it usually increases the amount of Anime series that are being published as well. They kind of work off each other for support in a way. Lets use the Anime One Piece as an example. When One piece was being set up and Japan was making more and more seasons and episodes for it. The viewers became more and more excited about it and wanted some type of Anime Movie to come with it. Anime lovers at the time would do anything to get there hands on an Anime movie of a famous Japanese Anime. One Piece soon started to produce Anime Movies and this gave a huge boost to the Ratings. See how they all work together? Well that is what I was trying to show you.

Anime Can be very influencing , be sure to take a look into Anime Works. Also, The thing I wanted to go over was how do you guys feel about Anime Seasons? Which season is the best one for you? I believe that the best season for Anime is summer because one, better anime seem to be aired in the summer. And Two, I tend to have more time Working on my Anime Blog, and Watching Anime all together. It just seems like I can have more fun in the summer with anime then in any other season. Now I admitt that an Anime Season like the winter is nice as well. I love th colder weather and when you mix hot coco and Hot chocolate with Anime and a blanket well it feels really good. Oh, and don`t forget having some nice cookies with milk while watching anime for a few hours straight!

It is so important to have this type of stuff together in time for the new season as well! What is summer for? is such a great question when it comes down to it because they use the summer time to make more and more anime, and that is one way we support them we watch and read more anime and manga in the summer time because we have time off to do so. This is what helps grow the community and expand anime all over the place! I am glad to be apart of the community and I hope that you guys are just as much as I am! I try to blog about anime as much as I can because it is so important to me.

Fan Girls these days ....

2011-08-05T00:40:00.000-07:00

I shake my head when it comes down to it. Fan Girls , have taken our reputation and turned it into something that can change the way we are looked at day in and day out. I feel like I have done my best to get my point out in one of my recent posts. There are tons Different Types of Anime Fans , but the one that is mostly known is Fangirls & Fanboys.

Some examples are:

1. People who love anime mostly for visual attractiveness such as pretty character designs and flashy action

2. Girls who only care about the Hott Characters and guys in the Anime and Manga.

"We cant live with them and we cant live without them" - This is one of the most important things.. Even if they make our reputation a little on the poor side of things, when it comes down to it. Anime needs fans and if its going to be all Fan girls then let it be. I also want to hit an important thing , this is key to Anime fans.

Discrimination Against Anime Fans?! - Is Completely unacceptable to me as a proud support of the Anime community. So be sure to stand up and say something about this. I have had people come to me on Facebook (By the way add me on facebook: Tony Lee) and they have told me that they have been a victim to this for a long time and that it even happens inside their family's.

Summer Time Anime Conventions!

2011-07-27T13:59:00.000-07:00

I think it is really important for everyone to experience an anime convention at one point in there busy summer`s because they need to be introduced to Anime Cosplaying and New Anime.

Top Three Things to do during Summer

Watch Anime as much as possible!
Read New Manga constantly
Go to as much Anime Conventions as you can!

These three things are the key to having a anime packed summer if you ask me! and Finding the anime and manga can be a hard process , So make sure that you have an idea of ways to find new anime and manga! this is another thing you should keep in mind and consider.

I wanted to share with you a post I made on my own time called "Japanese Cosplaying"

I enjoyed making this post because it got me to show everyone that you can professionally cosplay and then show off you work at a local Anime Convention. This is very important because it`s a hobby that can actually make you some money and get you known for something you love doing.

Monster Energy Drinks are Nothing for the Japanese

2011-04-30T23:19:00.000-07:00

Energy Drinks like the "Monster" is nothing compared to Japanese Energy Drinks. The Japanese Have an Energy Drink that make`s "Red Bull" look like Apple Juice. Japan Has a Engery Drink that Blow`s away both the "Monster" and "Red Bull". I inform you about the "Yunker Fanti". They said that this Power Drink will
put a punch into your step and into your motivation. You`ll feel like superman after this.

The Red Bull is suppose to Give you wing`s were as the "Yunker Fanti" Which the Sato Pharmaceutical has a lineup for their Yunker energy drinks and give`s you a " heal for your tiredness".

Out of all the unhealthy stuff that`s in it.. there also brimming with a variety of Natural and Herbal remedies for fatigue, depression and sickness. This is what make`s most people want to try it in the first place. The taste of it is very sweet and is similar to a "Monster". Japan take there Energy Drinks very seriously, along with the price of them and what they put in them.

It`s really entertaining learning about these Energy Drink`s and all. As much as they aren`t that great for you and stuff. Japan sell`s them as one of there most sold product`s these day`s along with others. You do not need to go shopping for this product very far because in japan they have it at the "first local convenience store" you see/find. The price is usually around 1,700 yen or approximately US$15 (U.S Dollars).

Well, if you know anything on this Very exciting "Engery Drink" then let us know down on the comment`s box. I found this product to be very interesting and if I get my hand`s on it I am sure I will give it a try. I have had a "Red Bull" and a "Monster" before and both have affected me for a little but not as much as I wanted it to. so, Having this new Intense Japanese Product will be very upbeat for me.

Tokyopop is Gone , Now Who's Left?

2011-04-27T23:14:00.000-07:00

So here`s the Question for all of the Manga Lover`s out there along with the Anime lover`s as well. With Tokyopop out of commission who is left to provide us with Manga and Anime? I mean Who can we look forward to, that will bring us and take lead from this whole concept?

So this post is for me to see how many other manga publishers there are out there and are left. These are some of the ones That I know, still exist:

VIZ Media: Umbrella for Shoujo Beat, Shounen Jump, Signature, etc.

Yen Press: The glossy cover gods

Del Rey: Currently known as Kodansha USA

Vertical: The non-glossy cover gods

Digital Manga Publishing: Cool bros on the block

Yaoi Press: Yaoi Manga

Udon Entertainment: Produced Manga`s like Mega Man

Dark Horse: Produced Star Wars, Hellboy

Oni Press: manga-esque

BLUManga: Tokyopop`s top Yaoi Line

No Starch Press: Manga guides

Bandai: Mostly produced Anime`s

So, Now who is going to be able to help out the Manga World? Well, There hoping that one of these will be able to keep the Manga World up and Running. People are saying that " Tokyopop has been going down for a while, and has been fading for years; poor market evaluation, imbalanced corporate growth strategy and more".
