Pandora Hearts: Elliot tribute

I've finished up to the latest chapter of Pandora Hearts, and I wanted to make a tribute to my favortie character Elliot Nightray. SPOILERS!
I, being a bit of a fangirl, was devistated when my favorite character Elliot Nightray died (Damn Humpty Dumpty) so here is my tribute! 
Elliot is such an awesome character, he is a bit arrogant, short tempered, and acts like he know everything, but he is still likeable and good looking. He's not any different than Edward Elric, so why did he have to die?! Well, some people will either hate Leo because of this, or like him even more. I just happened to be on the side of not liking him so much anymore. In a story like this, the author could bring the character back, when they need to, but its not likely he will come back. Maybe his past will come into play, but for now all I can promise is that Elliot is currently dead. When you think back to the first encounter Oz had with Elliot you will remeber Elliot and Leo's version of Lacie. You can also think back to how Elliot refused to be Oz's friend, and how they fought over the stupidest things. Elliot was a comic releif at most points, he really just made the story worth while. Here's a link to an awesome AMV for Elliot - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1UD7mbmhZE - and here's a short little movie maker tribute I made myself

Bakuman 2

Hi, I've finally gotten around to writing a review for Bakuman 2. The last episode premiered in Japan on March 25th. The show followed the manga really well, I can't seem to recall many fillers. As expected from the creators of Death Note, the story captures a reader with things you wouldn't except like when Moritaka was in the hospital, or how Ashirogi wanted to quit creating Vroom! Tanto Daihatsu. I personally love the stories inside of the show, especially CROW and Future Watch. The graphics are amazing in this show. I love the music and Japanese cast, they are as important to the show as the story. The characters are very well developed, we saw more of Miho and Kaya's personalities, as well as what they do. I really liked how in the end of the series, they 'rewound' to where Eiji and Ashirogi are rivals. I believe the story has so much potential and can go in many different ways. I am not completely up to date on the latest chapter, because every where I try to read it online says that it is copyrighted (If you know a website that does have it, please tell me in the comments, thank you!). I really can't wait to see if it follows the manga, or not. I would like to hear your thoughts on the "Perfect Crime Party" and what you think of it (please no spoilers, don't ruin it for the other viewers, or me!) Bakuman 3 is scheduled to start in October of 2012. I'm sorry, my next reviews will be longer, make more sense, and be worth while to read, but I am running out of time please comment below!
Tribute to Bakuman-
For those who didn't know, the amazing manga Bakuman has ended. I would like to say that I really did expect more from the authors of such a popular hit Death Note. It's not really avoidable to get cancelled if the ratings start to fall though. I do love the authors, and hope to see more from them, knowing how hard it actually is to write manga. Even though the story has ended, I made myself a CROW T-shirt, and can't wait for Bakuman 3.

Ao No Exorcist Movie

Everybody Loves the Son of Satan! And the movie release date STILL hasn't been revealed! At the end of the Anime, Jump Square announced that there would be a movie to conclude the series. It is to be believed to be a lot like the result of Fullmetal Alchemist. Many people believe that Ao No Exorcist will be very similar to Fullmetal Alchemist, where there would be a movie to end the series, and then another series to follow the manga. The closest information I have is that on a website I read that the movie would come out toward the end of the 2012 year. The manga is up to it's 8th volume currently, so It would need many more for another series to even be considered. Check in to see when the release dates and out comes are to all of the Ao No Exorcist questions!

FUNimation's Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star Of Milos release date!

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos
FUNimation's dub and sub of this movie will be released in Blu-ray and DVD on April 24th 2012! This movie is NOT following the story line of Brotherhood, or the story line of the first series. It is just a spin-off movie, but the graphics are awesome. You can Pre-order this movie on Amazon today at: http://www.amazon.com/Fullmetal-Alchemist-Brotherhood-Sacred-Blu-ray/dp/B0071LEJTO
