Yay, another day for me to rant and blab..*is fwapped by paper fan.* Anyways, for those who have talked to me on AIM since I got back from Spring Break you will have noticed that I have taken a serious liking to the manga Saiyuki, mainly because of the characters, but also because the plot is something that I've never seen before in the extent that its very new to me and it is very refreshing from just seeing other stuff. Mainly right now Tokyopop has only published Saiyuki Volume 1. manga but believe me folks, it is worth the ten bucks, espcially if you have already seen the anime. Saiyuki delves into the realm of Shangri-La which is a paradise for Humans and Youkai (another name for demons) but Shangri-La has become a living hell for the humans now. A minus wave of energy has corrupted the Youkai and is forcing them to kill humans and devour their victims. But a Buddhist priest, actually one of the highest priests in Buddhism with the title of Sazno has taken on the task of stopping this minus energy along with the help of three Youkai friends. Now I know that I just said that the Youkai are corrupted but you'll find out more in Volume 1 of Saiyuki so I definetly think you should buy the Manga and read it, also the manga has the orignal wraparound cover that was featured in the JP cover of a weekly kind of Shonen Jump when it was aired, Saiyuki was finished in nine volumes and the creater is working on a sequel at the moment. Anyways onto a major anime that I want to see. Its called RaXephon, I don't know much about it except this friend of mine said that its Evangelion done right. Now I know to those major Evangelion fans that is probably going to warrent a major murder on my head but I didn't say it!! *hides* Anyways, I looked at a book in Barns And Noble that dealt with all the technical stuff of RaXephon and I realized how beautfiul the mech art and character designs are, I mean I really liked how the characters look and how the main mech looked. Personall I think I have got to get the series soon on DVD. And that does it for my daily rant for mO.
