Gundam Seed News: In Memory Of...

*spoilers*

The battle between Earth and ZAFT has ended, but at a huge price. These are the names of the coordinators/naturals/civilians that were killed.
Fllay Allster
Mwu Lla Flaga
Natarle Badgiruel
Lieutenant Azrael
The three ORB mobile suit pilots
Orga Sabnak
Shani Andras
Clotho Buer
Rau le Cruset (possibly)

The war has killed all these people. Shani, Clotho and Orga were responsible for their own deaths. As Clotho was the last Drugged Natural alive, he went crazy. He was destroyed and killed by Yzak Jule, pilot of the Dual.

When Lieutenant Azrael fired a huge beam at the Archangel, Mwu Lla Flaga got in the way and was killed. Murue Ramius was in such rage that she fired a beam back at the Dominion, killing the only two people on the ship, Badgiruel and Azrael.

Fllay Allster was killed in a blast from the suit that Rau le Cruset fired. Kira was saddened at the loss. After Yakim Duo exploded, it fired a Genesis beam which I believe killed Le Cruset, after seeing his helmet shatter and the mask disintigrae.

This is the final show of Gundam Seed News. I'm you're host, Nidikhihunter Mike. Thank you, and good night.

.hack//sign- Tempest- Episode #20

The episode begins with Tsukasa and Subaru sitting in a field, Subaru's hand on top of Tsukasa's. He asks if everything is still alright, she says yes.
Mimiru, after defeating a monster, sees Bear, and asks Bear what's wrong (there always seems to be something on his mind). Mimiru finds out from him that he's thinking about Tsukasa and other things. Mimiru says that since the original search for the Key of the Twilight, Bear and B.T. have been distant.
Sora is talking to someone he doesn't usually talk to- Silver Knight. Sora asks if he has flushed out the Player Killer yet. When Silver Knight says he has his pride at stake, Sora calls him a loser. He says he doesn't want to talk with a loser anymore.
It turns out he called B.T., because the two met. Sora asked B.T. to restrain Silver Knight so that they could use him as a pawn. B.T. actually agrees and goes to him. She goes over to Silver Knight and says she's found some respect for him, and then asks him if he wants to find the Key of the Twilight. When he asks if it even exsists, B.T. talks about the irregularities, like Tsukasa, the broken man, an upside-castle not on any map and giant monsters appearing out of nowhere. She says that at the source of these irregularities is where the Key is. Silver Knight then asks what it does. B.T. says she doesn't know, but wants Silver Knight to join them. He says he'll contact her later.
Subaru is talking to Bear alone and says that she and Tsukasa often sit and enjoy each other's company. Bear says time heals wounds, so they should stay close to each other. Whatever they have is good, he says.
Mimiru is in a building, when B.T. appears. They were both called by Bear, supposedly. Then Crim comes in and says he was contacted by Subaru. Bear comes to them and says he told Subaru to contact him. Bear says he might have even contacted Sora. Bear says he wants to continue the search for the Key of the Twilight.
Tsukasa and Subaru are in the fields again, this time at night. They gaze up at the starts for a bit, then Tsukasa tells Subaru that he can take her to his retreat. He also says that it's not as nice as it used to be, even when he's happy. Still, he takes her. When they arrive at the place, the girl resting atop the bed is gone, and the trees are completely bare. Subaru instantly notices the girl is gone.
B.T. tells the rest of the group that she'll go on ahead and goes off. Crim asks Bear how old he is. Bear says he'll be 47 this year and asks why Crim asked the question. Crim asks what age it is when you basically lose your sense of kid. Crim says that even if you're an adult, you still need to have some kid to play this game. Crim knows what Bear's motive for wanting the Key is, but Crim says he has a different motive for searching.
B.T. goes and meets up with Silver Knight, and then Sora appears. Sora asks B.T. what they plan to do, and she says they're going to go back to all the evidence. Sora makes a point of saying "Why do all that work when they can do it for us?" Sora says that they can let them do all the work, and then take their conclusions and move faster than them, but B.T. needs to see them through.
Subaru talks to Mimiru and they talk about Tsukasa. Subaru tells Mimiru that she found Tsukasa's place, but can't get back there without his power, and that the girl disappeared. She says that Tsukasa said "She took her away." Mimiru are confused about who 'she' is.
Tsukasa has to face the voice, which repeats the jazz about walking together. Then Tsukasa is raised into the air in a bright glowing sphere, and seems in great pain. His clothes start to tatter, and he is lowered onto the bed where the girl formerly rested. He says something very puzzling after he gains enough strength to talk. He says "I am not me."

Anime #14- Saikano

These are:(clockwise, from top) Chise, Shuuji, Yumi and Tatsu.

This anime is about a girl named Chise and a boy named Shuuji. They are both in Grade Eleven and are starting to open up to each other. See, Chise is very shy, so it's a step for her. They are exchanging diary entries and seem to be more open.
But one night, when an air raid is coming to a place called Sapporo, Shuuji sees something he never thought he would ever see. This shy girl (Chise) is up in the sky, with huge weapons coming out of her hands, and then strikes down the enemy. He later finds out that Chise is the ultimate destructive weapon that is supposed to end the war that is currently going on.

Chise
The main character of the story, and is the ultimate weapon. Though she is very powerful, she's actually like Kira Yamato (from Gundam Seed) because she is shy and cries a lot. It almost seems like she doesn't even want to be the ultimate weapon.

Shuuji
Even though he is normal, he is the only person who actually knows what Chise really is. He is in love with Chise, which you'll see as the show goes on. He originally dated her as a dare, but now they really seem to love each other. There have been many rifts with them, though- They've been together, been apart, tried to run away together, and he almost killed her once. But they really are in love. Love comes with glitches, right?

Yumi & Tatsu
They are Chise's best friends. They don't know Chise's secret, but Tatsu becomes involved with the war, and Yumi secretly has a crush on Suuji.

Sorry if it's sort of short, it's the best I can do.

Anime #13- Xenosaga THE ANIMATION

The characters are: Top Row: (from left) Shion, Allen, M.O.M.O
Bottom Row: (from left) Ziggy, Junior, KOS-MOS, chaos.

4000 years into the future is where this story takes place, in deep space. Ever since a fateful day in Kenya where a man unleashed a weapon called the Zohar, humanity has been forced to live in space. Shion Uzuki and her comrade Allen Ridgeley and their teammates have been working on a prototype android named KOS-MOS, but they haven't had much luck. Suddenly, one night, KOS-MOS is activated on her own and changes everything up. The crew is onboard a large ship called the Woglinde, which has picked up a special item known as the Zohar, but it unfortunately attracts evil alien creatures called Gnosis (prounounced NO-SIS). The Woglinde is attacked by the Gnosis, and now Shion and Allen have to survive by going aboard enemy ships.

Shion Uzuki
Shion Uzuki is a very young scientist who has developed KOS-MOS. She is the only one who can activate KOS-MOS, but the android activates herself. She sometimes sees a little girl, but doesn't know much of it. She has a brother who lives in a place called Second Miltia.

Allen Ridgeley
He is the other main character who is always looking out for Shion. Most of his (dead) crew members are surprised that he hasn't keeled over from worrying about her so much. Him and Shion are the only people from their crew who survived the attack on the Woglinde. He secretly has a crush on Shion, but never gets around to saying it.

KOS-MOS
The battle android developed by Shion's team and activated on her own. She got commands from Headquarters to go Second Miltia.

Ziggy
Short for Ziggurat 8, he is actually an android made from a dead man. He doesn't really care that he is an android and has a sole purpose to become a full machine. He is always adding robot parts to himself, but has befriended a Realian (the name of the androids) named Momo. Ironically, he was sent on a mission to capture her.

chaos
A male who looks about 16, but is amazingly powerful. He has angelic powers, which he demonstrated on a Gnosis that attacked the ship he was on. He seems to know a lot more than he says and is very kindhearted.

M.O.M.O.
A 100-Series Realian who hates being called that. It stands for Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus. She is specially developed to track down and communicate with Gnosis.

Junior
A young boy about the age of twelve. Although he looks inexperienced, he sometimes says very wise things.

Anime #12- D.N.Angel

Introduction

Basically, this is how the story goes: Boy likes girl. Girl doesn't like boy. Boy is heartbroken, and mopes around when POOF! Boy turns into attractive angel dude, who catches attention of girl, but falls for twin girl's sister who falls for boy who falls for HER and-

Confusing? That's what this story's about.

Niwa Daisuke is just another ordinary 14 year old boy who has a crush on Haruda Risa, his classmate. Naturally, Risa doesn't think of him as more of a friend. Daisuke is rejected on his 14th birthday, and on the same day, he turns into the legendary phantom thief Dark Mousy whenever he feels emotions of love.

Unfortunately, Daisuke's family is far from normal. Niwa-kun has been subjected to maiming and torture, like kaitou training sessions, and random attacks from his mother and grandfather since he was very young. Thanks to a rather odd childhood, Daisuke's specialty is picking locks. All of his training that he received so far was to prepare him for this particular day-his 14th birthday, when he first turns into Dark.

Apparently, all the Niwa men suffer from this ... heritage while they grow up, Daisuke being no exception. Thus starts the concurrence of two COMPLETELY different people with the same physical space and squabbling over a set of identical twins, who are anything BUT identical.

Daisuke, or should I say Dark's mission is to go around stealing famous artwork that were created before the cultural revolution - art pieces which hold a special power within them. How and why Dark is connected to the Niwa family is unknown, not to mention no one has a clue where he originally came from, and why he's after the artwork. Surprisingly, only one person(besides the Niwa family) really knows Dark.. None other than Hiwatari Satoshi, who isn't as normal as he appears.

Characters [Contains Some Spoilers!]

Niwa Daisuke : 14 years old, and is attending Azumano No. 2 Junior High School. He's currently in the 8th grade, and is as normal as you can get - somewhat shy, hard-working, gentle, nice to about everyone. Basically, he's the typical cute boy next door. He's very athletic, but isn't prone to showing it. He can jump from heights with no fear, and can pick locks with a somewhat unsettling ease.
As a Niwa male, Daisuke is doomed to turn into Dark whenever he feels emotions of love. Although Daisuke and Dark share the same body, they're two COMPLETELY different people. Whenever Dark is wreaking havoc and making a huge scene, Daisuke is RIGHT there in the back of his mind protesting, howling, and freaking out. Dark seems to enjoy this QUITE a bit (xD).
When Risa-chan rejects Daisuke (poor BABY! xO), it sends him into an emotional distress the entire day thereafter. To make matters worse, Risa falls for Dark, Daisuke's alter ego. Through twists and turns, things start lifting, and Daisuke then realizes that the real object of his affections is none other than Riku, Risa's older twin sister.
Even though Riku has returned Daisuke's feelings for her, Daisuke continues to change into Dark. Dark explains that this is because Riku must accept the fact that Daisuke IS Dark and Dark IS Daisuke - something that was VERY hush-hush because 1. well, nobody's supposed to know, and 2. Riku. HATES. Dark. (She thinks he's a big pervert, which really isn't too far off... xD)

Dark Mousy: He last appeared 40 years ago, disappeared suddenly, and now he's out wreaking havoc around the Azumano District of Tokyo as he did for centuries. Nobody knows where he's from, nobody knows who he really is, and nobody knows what his real purpose is behind stealing all the artwork from various museums. Dark is the legendary phantom thief that haunts (?) the males of the Niwa household - they are fated to change into him when they hit 14 years of age, and whenever they feel emotions of love. Heh, and Daisuke is no exception. And, much to Daisuke's dismay, Risa falls instantaneously for Dark (she confesses, but he rejects her on the spot o_o), and Dark, in return, develops a crush on Riku. Who hates him. Check that, Hates him. But behind the face of a celebrity, there lies a personality that nobody comprehends. Who is Dark, really? And what does he feel, every time he's sealed away into the Niwa blood as the object of *his* own affections become one with his alter ego (or host, if you will)?Perhaps it's taking the story a little too far to say that Dark is something of a tragic figure. But he's not exactly a happy-go-lucky oblivious I-am-so-hot-and-you-know-it playboy that he makes himself out to be.And of course, there's the tension between the Niwa family and the Hikari family, highlighted in the animosity between Dark and the mysterious Krad, who is the perfect opposite of our beloved phantom thief...

Hiwatari Satoshi: Hiwatori Satoshi is, quite possibly, one of the most attractive 14-year-old boys around (NOT in my eyes. That's just gross xD). He's calm, composed all the time no matterWHAT happens, cool to the point of being cold, and silent. Basically a very "kakkoii" (cool) guy who is the target of millions of hopelessly swooning middle schoolers from all around the area. But if Satoshi's personality is exceptional, *what* he actually is might be a bit more of an o_O inducer. Let's see.
1. He is the commander ("soushirei") of the investigation behind Dark, and is COMPLETELY bent on capturing the phantom thief. As in obsessive. He'll do anything.. Except hurt Daisuke. Hmm..
2. He has a college degree. (supposedly he graduated valedictorian of Oliver College [?] ) And he's still in Junior High.
3. He wears glasses that he doesn't need - his eyesight is extremely good, not to mention his observational skills are almost scary.
4. Data boy - he records everything and anything into his pocketbook.
5. His real last name actually ISN'T Hiwatari - his real name is Hikari Satoshi, but since he is the last of his family/clan, he was adopted by a 26-year-old man with the last name of Hiwatari. And he lives alone in a posh apartment.
6. And, possibly the biggest spoiler of all, Satoshi changes into Krad, the homicidal blond who's out to get Daisuke and Dark.
As already stated, Satoshi is cool and calculating all of the time, and is probably a bit of a threatening presence to poor Daisuke who knows that Satoshi knows that he's Dark. (Make any sense?)
Satoshi does a little change of personality - he begins to show emotions, especially where Daisuke's safety is concerned. This isn't good. As a descendant of the Hikari family - who, incidentally, created all the art pieces that become Dark's targets - Satoshi was never to hold anything close to his heart, or else he would release the 'curse' and become Krad.

Harada Riku: She's 14-years-old, somewhat of a tomboy, outspoken, and cute. She holds an INTENSE dislike for Dark, and unwittingly has a crush on the other half, Daisuke. Target of her ultra-feminine younger twin sister Risa's sibling rivalry, but probably doesn't really mind it much. In short, Riku's a cool girl ^^.
Riku has her own worries, though. She knows of Daisuke's previous crush on her sister, and is still insecure about his feelings for her - heck, they're identical TWINS after all, no wonder Riku still worries if Daisuke likes her only because she is "the same as Risa." T_T
Yet Riku is pretty mature for a 14-year-old, and handles things pretty well. That is, she probably will until she finds out that Daisuke *IS* Dark. Whenever that will be (xP).

Harada Risa: Harada Risa.. Okay, it's going to be difficult for me to be objective about this girl -_-' but I'll try. Here we go.
Risa is, eh, the typical 14-year-old 8th grader. Worries about her looks (o-o), is ultra-feminine (o_o), feels strong rivalry towards her older twin sister, Riku (typical), sees Daisuke as "only a friend" because he's too "normal" to be a boyfriend (O-O), and has a big crush on Dark, although recent developments are starting to show something with Satoshi, as well. -_-# Don't go there, Risa..
I can't say I honestly *dislike* Risa, because she's (baby) cute, granted, but sometimes she acts like the world revolves around her, and should stay that way >_>.
But Risa has her moments. She confesses her crush to Dark and gets promptly rejected, and she's starting to feel somewhat uneasy around Riku and Daisuke when they're together, and she seems to know that Satoshi is a bit.. Obsessed over Dark. I wonder what'll happen if she finds out that Daisuke - the boy she rejected - is actually Dark - the guy who rejected *her*. Whoooo.

With: Yes, I said er.. Typed "With". It's prounounced "wizu", by the way (xP). You're probably wondering what the heck With has to do with the plot. Well, that's what I'm here for. Every attractive angel dude needs a furry, cute sidekick. At first glance, With looks like a rabbit/dog hybrid - cute, fluffy, white, infinitely plushy and NORMAL. But, as everything in the Niwa household goes, he's not. ^^;.
Yes, With can function as a typical househould pet. But more important than that, With is something of a companion to Dark. When Dark needs him, he turns into a black, winged animal who doubles as Dark's black wings themselves. With also has the ability to change his form - when the situation calls for it, he can take on Daisuke or Dark's form. He also develops the ability to speak - With normally runs around saying "Kyuu!" but Daisuke decides that teaching him how to speak would be of great use, so now he can say some elementary things. ^^ With is generally shy around people he doesn't know, but is very affectionate to those he is familiar with. He has other quirks as well - apparently With *hates* water. And while he doesn't hate other beings, there *is* one person he shows (hissing, spitting, ATTACKING) animosity to... and that would be Krad. Another odd point. With has been with the Niwa family for centuries, meaning he's more than 100 years old o_O.

Krad: Here's the biggest mystery guy of them all, Krad. And if you haven't noticed yet, yup, you just take Dark's name, and flip it. There you go. (And you thought "Dark Mousy" was a weird name xD)
Krad is to Satoshi as Dark is to Daisuke, only in the physical sense - when Satoshi manages to seperate Dark from Daisuke, something triggers his transformation into Krad. *remember, if Satoshi holds anything close to his heart, it'll release the "curse" and Satoshi will turn into Krad*. We can only speculate that it's his feelings for Daisuke that causes the transformation. And we have enough evidence for that. (=P)
Krad, interestingly, has a VERY formal (aristocratic, even) tone of speech, long blond hair, white wings, and icy blue eyes - a near opposite of Dark, and very appropriately so. As soon as he appears, he claims that he should show reverence to Daisuke, the Wing Master (or 'teima-,' as he says it). And promptly proceeds to thwack an attacking (!!) With away (o_o;) and loses no time in going after Daisuke's throat. Homicidal blond indeed.
Not to mention Dark and Krad seem to be ancient enemies of sorts. Ahh, the bloodshed to ensue >_>.

Gundam Seed News- Genesis, or Exodus?

The ZAFT forces, horrified that a colony had already fallen thanks to the nukes used by the Earth Forces, decided to strike with something so dangerously destructive that it almost wiped out the Dominion. The Genesis, similar to a very-fortified gamma ray, wiped out everything in it's path. And the shot was issued by none other than the chairman of ZAFT, Patrick Zala.
The Dominion narrowly avoided getting blasted, and decided that they would have to load the nukes and attack again. This is a never-ending war, and the renegade ships (if you don't already know the Eternal, Kusenagi and the Archangel) are there to stop it.

In other news, it also seems that Cagalli Yula Attha, the girl who's father blew himself up, has her own mobile suit to pilot, called the Strike Rouge.

That's all for now, this is Nidikhihunter Mike signing off. Thank you and goodnight.

.hack//sign- Recollection- Episode #19

As Subaru is passing by, she hears two players wondering if she really is Subaru, because people seem to really like to steal the look, and there are lots of people who pretend to be Subaru these days. One guys even suggests that Subaru quit the Crimson Knights because she got bored with it.
While she walks in a snow-covered area, she goes back to a memory.
> Subaru is only talking in half-sentences, never finishing what she says. Crim tells her she needs to speak her mind and get a new attitude. A player appears near Subaru and tries to attack her. Crim quickly holds his spear near the player's neck and tells him to either be killed or leave Subaru alone. The player teleports away. Crim makes a point of saying men can't be trusted in the game, because they either attack girls or take advantage of them. Crim tells Subaru that she needs to be more positive and speak her mind. <>
Subaru passes by, and then remembers something else.
<> Crim says she's quite famous on the boards. A girl, who seems to be alone, and seems to be an amateur to the game, because she's not familiar with online games. Crim says she needs to hold her head high, always feel proud, and the World will come to her. Three players appear and try to attack the two. They injure Crim a little, but he isn't hurt to badly. Subaru finally finds courage and tells her they need to stop attacking players, because if newbies are attacked, they won't play the game, and then the game will wither and die. The players think she is preaching, but she tells them she's asking. They smirk and ask what gives her authority. Crim says he should call them the Crimson Knights. Subaru in turn creates the Crimson Knights organization, and knights Silver Knight.<>
Subau passes by one of the ex- Crimson Knights, Salu. Salu says the real Crimson Knights are needed because Silver Knight has started his own organization. He is an outlaw.
Bear and Mimiru are standing at their usual bridge. Mimiru is surprised the Crimson Knights are gone. Mimiru also wonders if Subaru will stay on. Bear thinks she is the type of person who hates to leaves things unfinished, and her story isn't over, so she'll stay on a while longer. Mimiru agrees.
<> Subaru walks over to see Crim and Silver Knight in a battle. Subaru asks why they battled, and Crim says it was just a difference in values. Silver Knight calls Crim frivelous and unthoughtful. When Crim asks what's wrong with it, Silver Knight says they are supposed to be good examples to players. Crim says that the Crimson Knights are powerful in numbers, but are nothing more than gangs. He quits. When Silver Knight leaves, Crim says it's easy to quit, all you have to do is say it. Then he says he's going to cast a spell on her.<>
A girl greets Subaru, who has the same look as her, just different coloured features. The girl, who calls herself Kaochin, says she's happy the Crimson Knights are gone. She says they shouldn't go around saying "Stop fighting" and such. She thinks they're full of themselves. Subaru makes a point of saying that every game should have rules.
<> What Crim meant by the spell was his phone number in the real world. He says he doesn't want to be Lord Crim of the Crimson Knights, but he still wants to be Subaru's Crim. <>
Kaochin wants to be friends with Subaru. But then she finds out that Subaru is real, and starts to advance on her, about to attack. Subaru is about to log out, but Kaochin says she'll post how cowardly Subaru is on the message boards. Subaru finds her courage and stops. She says she doesn't care if she's killed, but she'll never be friends with people like her. The girl swings at her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subaru gets up off the ground. Her dress is tattered, her wings are shriveled, her hair is a mess. She gets up and walks into a cave, only to find Tsukasa. He runs up to her and says that if he waited in that cave, he'd find Subaru. Subaru starts to cry and hugs Tsukasa.

.hack//sign- Declaration-- Episode #18

Subaru is talking with Mimiru and Bear, but then shoos them away because she says she needs to talk to Silver Knight alone. When the Tsukasa's friends leave, Subaru asks Silver Knight why he hasn't been delivering her messages. Silver Knight says she hasn't been fufilling her duties as Lady of the Crimson Knights. He thinks that she's been more worried about Tsukasa then anything else she has to do.
When Subaru goes to Crim and tells him about what Silver Knight did, Crim says that Silver Knight is just proving his loyalty in a different way. Crim says that whatever Subaru will do next, he's sure that she'll do the right thing.
B.T. is with Sora again. It seems that these two aren't getting along very well anymore, and B.T. told him straight out that she doesn't want to give him information anymore.
Silver Knight tells Subaru that there is a Player Killer in Mac Anu (a dungeon) and is making hundreds of players lose their data. He thinks that the Crimson Knights should bind him. But Subaru says no, they are no the System Admins. She suggests that they just tell the player to stop with the illegal activity or he will be reported to the System Administration. But Silver Knight thinks that doing what Subaru thinks is right is completely useless.
Tsukasa, talking with Mimiru, had been aksed earlier what his path in life was, but he never really answered. He tells Mimiru he hops he can find Subaru soon.
Subaru tells Silver Knight that the System Administration had contacted them because of an urgent matter. Subaru then finds out that Silver Knight had asked the Admins for the password to every player's account so their log files could be acccessed. The Admins of course denied the request. Subaru is now disgusted with Silver Knight. But Silver Knight says that you need to destroy items you cherish if you want to continue fighting. He says that even though Tsukasa has been (supposedly) performing illegal activity, Subaru doesn't do anything about that. He also asks if she thinks she's a god.
After taking all this in, Subaru calls the Crimson Knights' attention. She tells them that the Crimson Knights are now disbanded.

Gundam Seed News- The Final Battle has Begun!

Welcome back to Gundam Seed News. I'm your host, Nidikhihunter Mike.

Well folks, it seems that the final battle is about to take place in Cosmic Era 71. There are basically three sides: The Earth Forces, the ZAFT forces, and the Wild Cards, being the three ships, the Eternal, the Kusenagi, and the Archangel.

In a recent meeting, Lieutenant Azrael of the Blue Cosmos announced that the Earth Forces should resort to using nuclear weapons. After a bit of an arguement, the other staff of the Earth forces reluctantly agreed. Though Natarle Badgiruel, now captain of the Dominion, and Fllay Allster, now released from a ZAFT escapoe pod didn't agree, Azrael still went along and used the nukes to take out a whole space fortress. It fell in a flash of blinding light. The only people who enjoyed seeing this destruction were the three Drugged Naturals and Azrael himself.

Now Earth forces were about to fire more nukes and destroy another fortress, but the Freedom and Justice made sure the nukes were destroyed in time.

Patrick Zala, Chairman of the ZAFT forces, decided that the Naturals had to be killed. ZAFT, in response to the Earth forces' weapons, fired a destructive weapon known as Genesis. What will happen, who knows? Stay tuned for more Gundam Seed News. Thank you, and goodnight.

Wow, my first blog! Um, okies, this one is on FRUITS BASKETS! (Anime #10)

Yippee! ^_^ A blog! Oh, well I better get started!

Fruits Basket

The Story

Okies, so Fruits Basket was originally a manga written by Natsuka Takaya, but not so long ago, it was made into an anime. It is basically about a girl named Tohru Honda. Her father died when she was quite small, and her dearest friend, her mother, died in a car accident just recently. So, she had to move in with another family member. She decided to move in with her grandfather on her father's side.

Although, another tragedy took place. Her grandfather was going to have some remodeling in his house, so she had to find a place to stay. Now, Tohru is the type of girl who puts others' well-being in front of her own, so she didn't want to be a burden to her grandfather or two best friends, Ansa Uotani and Saki Hanajima. Therefore, she now lives in a tent, but after a small encounter with Shigure Sohma and Yuki Sohma, Tohru Honda decides to take their kind offer and live with them.

The Sohma's are a unique family. When hugged by a member of the opposite gender, or when weak, the members of this family change into animals from the Chinese zodiac. In her stay, Tohru gets to know the many members of this family, and encounters many unusual events.
