#3 - character "discussion" (not really)
Writing about characters will inevitably lead to ranking fav.s and such. To be "fair"...:P here'd be the system i'll use (in my head) to rank the characters. :lol: strength (2) clearly anyone who knows my fav. char. on the IY series, will realise i don't care much about who's the strongest and _______. although i'll definitely disagree with anyone who says the wolf is "weak", i'll _______ them right away. :D rofl..well, maybe.:P back to topic, so... 2 points for being powerful, strong, etc... 1 point for being okay. 0 for ___________. :P character/person. (5) uniqueness? moderately complex? :lol: well, it's very biased anyways...:D points from nowhere (3) put here to make it an even ten. :P annoyance (-3) self explanatory.:D such as -1 for being loud....:P

i doubt posting blogs would help much in my levels, but here's one. :lol: -heads off to work-

time for new banner? :lol: maybe i'm too lazy to open up the other OS to run PS. or maybe i still haven't figure out what to put on it or i need more practice on drawing team 7? :P

Given that I've spent more time focusing on NRT nowadays than IY, most certainly the following opinions will most likely be biased in favor of the NRT series. Oh well, things happens, and when something you like about a series disappears, you lose interest. -shrugs- :| ....(saving this til the end...now back to topic. :lol: ) Share What I like about the series (well, manga wise at least)...I like how there's a large cast of characters, and that it still manages to give most of them a fair share of the story (IMO. it just feels that way to me, wonder why). Right up to the latest chapter, I do not feel NRT (character) is "hogging" the story at all. I think clearer evidence can be found in fan polls...though not accurate, it does somehow shows how much time each character gets in the story. there would've been a pie chart here, except i didn't feel like drawing one.:D but...it'll be something like... IY SS getting 1/3, IY getting another 1/3, MI might get 1/6, and the rest are divided up by others. NRT SSK gets 15%, NRT and KKS might each get 12% or more, SKM might get around 10%, and so on...:lol: poor them I think this has some relation as to my choice of fav. charc. in the IY series. Characters in NRT mess up. That's right, that is what I like about it. :P No one is spared from the list, almost everyone gets pwned (or nearly) once a while. SSK? yes, NRT? yes, KKS? yes, TSN? yes. (i'll just leave you people to figure out those acron. :lol: ) ^ ugh...i have no idea how this drawing came to be. rofl.:lol: pace A lot has been told in 300+ chapters. Villain is still within reach to be destroyed. Excellent. theme? or something similar :lol: Comparison? I feel more for NRT (character) than IY (character). strange, but true. :lol: was bored and went to YT to watch OPs. It's always sad seeing those flasbacks, such as those in the 5th and 7th OP. He got himself a "family", but that didn't last long. Recalling the scene with NRT ans SSK fighting on the roof, i think KKS said something to SKR like "everything will be back to what they used to be..". It's obvious this is also what NRT wants. But somehow we all know that will never happen. (well, even if things do end up good at the end, it'll still not be the same.) umm....getting long, i'll stop right here. :lol: ...(continuing the first section) -sigh- i do wish the wolf will make a come back on IY. :roll: poor IY series..:P but oh well, i've waited nearly half a year since that dreadful week of July before I started into the NRT manga, so...:P next time i might talk about characters...:P or maybe...

#1 - prologue?
Finished 332 chapters, and actually, i planned to use the blog entries to keep track of the progress. :P and who knew i'd finished the chapters in less than six days. :P so.. the blog entries will still be coming. ;) sooner rather than later i guess, since i no longer have to spend the whole time reading. :lol: and so far, my impression of the series is... like it, and kinda addicted to it as well. :D :lol: okay..more to come next time.

and this is just a reminder. :lol: well, it'll be something like this... rofl..:lol: pardon for my tsk tsk drawing. :lol: but it'll soon be drawings. LOL... (and no, i didn't spend the past two days going thu the anime. :roll: ) er..more to come later in the actual blog. :P

umm..couldn't think of much names huh. :lol: anyways, this name's kinda related to another name.. :lol: i'll leave everyone to figure.:D
