Hello friends, I'm back again with yet another review for my loyal fan. That's right fan, as in singular, as in I'm pretty sure the only person reading these now is Nicasso_.

I know I said that I would have this up by 6:00 P.M. today but life is just too unpredictable to plan these kinds of things. So sorry if I made you wait.

Now on to business. I'm sad to say that nobody guessed the review correctly for this week. Though Nicasso_ made a few very good guesses, it seems that the amazing mystery prize will go to nobody once again.

With my rant out of the way it's time to get to the review:

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the world of Haruhi Suzumiya.

No this isn't the Twilight Zone, but trust me it's just as strange. This is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Now you may be wondering who is Haruhi Suzumiya and why is she so sad. Well she's a typical high school girl, who believes in aliens, time-travelers, espers, ghosts, monsters, evil syndicates, and the anime/manga super heroes who fight said evil syndicates.

The series of course revolves around this girl, but if you want to understand the story you have to know about the other main character as well. The series begins by introducing Kyon, another character just entering high school. He's pretty much the polar opposite of Haruhi, he's very practical and doesn't believe in anything supernatural or other-worldly. Now, on his first day during introductions the girl who sits behind him introduces herself by saying:

"I'm Haruhi Suzumiya, from East Junior High. First off, I'm not interested in ordinary people. But if any of you are aliens, time-travelers, or espers please come see me. That is all."

Needless to say she makes quite the first impression. As the first few weeks pass by, Kyon learns more and more about Haruhi's weird behaivor. Such as painting weird symbols on the school track field, joining every club and then quitting soon after, and dating numerous boys but never staying with them longer than a few days.

Haruhi refuses to talk with people she sees as "ordinary" so hardly anyone ever approaches her. One day on a whim Kyon decides to start a conversation with her. This results in Haruhi becoming somewhat attached to Kyon. In fact, he's pretty much the only one she talks to. During one of their conversations, Haruhi comes up with the random idea to start a club of her own.

This is more or less the very first episode/chapter of the series. Trust me, it's a lot more interesting than you think. The way I describe it this seems like your typical high school romance series with a strange female character. INCORRECT!

This is anything but your typical anything. You never know what to expect from this series, especially once they introduce the other main characters who also end up joining Haruhi's club, The SOS Brigade. These members include an alien, a time-traveler, and a esper. Ironically, Kyon is the only one who finds out about this while Haruhi, who is actually searching for these kinds of things remains oblivious.

So what can you expect from this series? Space wars, rock concerts, bad movie making, sports tournaments, annonying computer geeks, murder mysteries, girls in bunny costumes, sexual harassment, blackmail, and your occasional random battle scenes.

It's almost like they took every anime stereotype in existence, rolled them into a ball, threw them into a blender, and produced a delicious smoothie of Japanese randomness.

Mmmmmm, Smoothie

For those of you who have heard about this series but have yet to pick it up I must ask, WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

This is without a doubt one of the greatest anime/manga achievements in the history of anime/manga. If you don't enjoy this series than there is something deeply wrong with you.

With that said, it's time to get to the technical crap. The manga consists of ten light novels. The first is called The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and each title afterwards is changed. The first novel was adapted into an anime that consists of 14 episodes which has been translated to English. Now supposedly a second season has been confirmed but there's no word on when it'll be released.

Now that you've heard about this series, GO WATCH/READ IT NOW!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what did you think, was I too mean and forceful towards the end? If so than I apologize to those I may have offended. But anyways I really enjoyed doing this one. In fact this was the first series I intended on reviewing but things happened and so it came out in fourth.

Still that doesn't degrade its awesomeness in any way, shape, or form.

It's Random Transition Time!

Time for the unveiling of the clues:

1. "Don't get bored until then..." Haruhi, the main character, is bored with everyday life and that's a major aspect of the first season.
2. "Maybe join a club or something at school."In the first episode/chapter, Haruhi starts a club in an attempt to cure her boredom.
3. "Think of another word for help." SOS is a code for help, and as we all know the name of Haruhi's infamous club is the SOS Brigade.

So did you get the clues, sorry if you didn't. I think I might be making these too hard so I'll try to make them a little more easy next time around.

Now that you've read my review go ahead and review my review. Give me some feedback people! And thank you to my loyal fan out there for all of your support.

So I guess I should leave a clue behind about my next review like I promised before. Then again maybe I won't. OK, don't get mad and send a ninja to kill me. Yes, that was the clue and no it isn't Naruto.

And with that obscure message said I shall take my leave.

Alright guys, tomorrow I plan on posting my review after I get home. That should be around 6:00 P.M (Central Time) so you have until then to guess the review.

I'm giving one last hint for those of you who wish to participate (Nicasso_). Here it is.

Think of a another word for help.

Put this together with my last clues (see the comments in "New friend + Running Out of Time") and you should be able to come up with the answer. Only 20 more hours until the polls are closed so to speak.

Now I decided how I'm going to deal with the weekly clues. I'll release the three clues per review. The first one will be included in the very last paragraph of my review from the previous week. I'll post a second one three days after I've put up my last review. The last one will be released within 24 hours of the next review. I'll make the answer more and more obvious with each clue.

Now that that's out of the way, let's get to my loyal fans. How has your week been. I'd really like to get some feedback from some people other than Nicasso_. Don't get me wrong Nicasso_, you're great and I really appreciate all the support you've given me. I probably would have quit after the first review without your comments. But I really would like to hear what other people think too, do you like my reviews or hate them? Do you want to participate in these little games or am I wasting my time coming up with them?

Well now that my rant is finished I'll be going. I'll hope to hear from all of you soon. See you tommorow.

That's right people, if you read one of my last blogs "Guess That Blog" then you know that at the end of it I was mourning the death of one of my favorite characters, Erza from Fairy Tail.

Now I hate spoiling things for the other fans out there but this news is just so exciting I can't help myself. This week chapter 100 of Fairy Tail was released and to my relief it was revealed that Erza survived! :D:D:D

I was so happy that I almost started crying. Thank you Hiro Mashima for not killing off our favorite characters like they do in all of those other series out there.

Welcome back from the dead Erza and DON'T YOU EVER ALMOST DIE AGAIN!

Two notes for today. First of all, I'm proud to announce that I've gained another friend. Thank you Clana_345.

Secondly, nobody has yet to make a guess as to the next manga I'll review. You're running out of time people. I realize that hardly anyone reads my reviews but at this rate nobody will win the amazing mystery prize.

Now, if you've just started reading this than read my last review and the blog I put up afterwards if you want to participate.

Come on people. Time is of the essence.

Once again I've obtained a new friend. Thank you Gaby8529, and I hope you enjoy all of my contributions.

Alright guys, it's time for the second weekly Guess-That-Review Contest! The clue I left is in the last paragraph of my last review. Remember, the winner gets an extra specaial suprise prize and in addition to that, I will allow them to pick the next series I review. That's right lucky viewers, you get to decide the next thing I write about. Excited? You should be, this kind of offer doesn't come around every day. I'm sure all of you will be desperately reading the clue I left behind so that I can fulfill all of your manga reviewing dreams.

Well good luck to all of you who plan on participating, even if it turns out that Nicasso_ ends up being the only one who tries. Oh well, thank you anyways my fans whose numbers haven't even reached two digits. I'll be checking in regularly to see if anyone wins.

Now on a seperate note, I have a sad announcement. While it has yet to be officialy confirmed it seems that one of my favorite characters has died in the most recent chapter. Erza from Fairy Tail.

While I hope that she somehow survives, I'm pretty sure that she's gone for good. Erza we will miss you.

Alright then, now that I got that sad news out of the way it's time for me to go. Good luck to all of you out there especially you Fairy Tail fans. See you all soon.

Alright everyone, it's been one week and you've all waited patiently for this. It's time for another manga review. Now for those of you who tried to guess which one I would review (Nicasso_) I'm sorry to say that noboby guessed the correct answer. But never fear, I shall offer the same prize every week for whoever wishes to keep trying (Nicasso_).

Now with all that said and done it is finally time for the unveiling of my third manga review! Begin!

666 Satan (AKA: O-parts Hunter)

Gather round boys and girls, it's story time. Todays story is about the devil.

You heard right, 666 Satan (known as O-Parts Hunter in America) is a manga where the main character is more or less Satan himself. Confused yet? I thought so. Let's reveal the plot a little more.

The story takes place in a not so distant future. A ancient civilization that was far more advance then ours once exisited thousands of years ago. Their fortune was due to the creation of devices called O-parts. These devices each have a unique ability ranging from a frying pan that heats itself to large living weapons.

The civilization mysteriously dissapeared one day, the reason unkown. The only thing left of their civilization are ruins and the mysterious O-parts. Conflicts began rising over these device mainly due to the government that rules over the world known as the Stea Republic and an underground organization called Zenom.

Alright, now that you understand the background of the world lets get to the main characters. A young girl named Ruby who seeks to be the worlds greatest treasure hunter meets a young boy named Jio Freed whose dream is to one day take over the world.

Jio Freed

-Jio after time skip

Ruby (before and after time skip)

The only thing Jio trusts is money and refuses to befriend her at first, but when Ruby is kidnapped by a group of O-part hunters, he goes to her rescue. During the battle, when it seems like Jio is about to be defeated another personality awakens. His hair changes color and the number 666 appears on his forehead. He calls himself Satan and quickly dispatches the hunters. After Jio returns to normal he reveals that he doesn't remember anything that happened. Jio then decides to become Ruby's bodyguard and to accompany her on her journey.

-Jio as Satan later in the series

Now all of this is just the first chapter, throughout the series more and more revelations are made about who Jio is, Satan, Ruby, the O-parts, the Stea Republic, and the Zenom organization. The story is without a doubt one of the best I've ever read. The characters all have interesting personalities and come with a wide variety of abilities. More and more main characters are introduced as the series progresses.

Now as you read you may see a lot of similarities to the popular series Naruto. The main characters are both lonely and friendless at the beginning of the series but quickly gather a large group of friends. Both characters try to gain acceptance by gaining a high position of power. Both characters have an malevolent force inside of them. Both series have multiple villians, and both go through a time skip.

At first I thought this was just a Naruto rip-off. But after looking into it I discovered that the creator, Seishi Kishimoto, is the younger twin brother of Masashi Kishimoto the creator of Naruto. After finding that out I realized that both series would share some aspects.

Now for those who wish to read this series, it can be found on onemanga.com. It is a completed series that consists of 76 chapters, each one over 40 pages long. As of now there is no anime adaption but who knows, there may be one in the making right now.

This is a little known series that should be read by any self-respecting anime/manga fan. Do yourself a favor and read this satan-tastic story.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, what did you think? I've spent all week trying to figure out what I should write here. I think it went pretty well. Now for those of you who tried to guess this series based on the clues I gave (Nicasso_) I will now tell you the significance of each one.

1. "...my quest of world domination." The main character, Jio, dreams of taking over the world.
2. "...is the devil incarnate." A second personality lies within Jio that gives him extraordinary power and calls himself Satan.
3. "Alright, think black and white." Jio's hair color, half of his hair is white and the other half is black.

Alright now that I've revealed everything let's get to some news about me. I just started college, in fact I'm typing this review from my dorm room. Everyone else seems to be starting school as well. Well, that's basically it. That was hardly worth mentioning. Oh well.

Now then, I will once again return next friday for the next review. Don't get bored until then, I'm sure you'll find something interesting to do until next week. Maybe join a club or something at school. See you soon.

I finally updated my profile description (the little message under my statistics on the side). I made it a little more personal and I think it describes me quite well. Take a look.

Oh, and don't worry. Only about half the things I wrote there are true. However it's up to you to decide which parts are and aren't.

I'm suprised that I've been gaining so many new friends lately. Thank you doggiesrcute, the latest in a line of new friends.

Alright, I have a few things to mention. I just got yet another new friend. Thank you PiscesChick93. It seems I've slowly begun making more and more new friends here in the last few days.

Also, I decided how I'm going to handle which anime/manga I plan on reviewing. The last few days I went through a huge list of anime/manga and picked out everything that looked interesting to me.

I ended up with a list of over 60 series, more than half of which I've never read before. My timing sucks, I should have started this earlier in the summer when I wasn't doing anything. Instead I decided to wait until three days before I start college. Oh well, this will be fun to do in my free time.

Now this list I made is still incomplete. I'm still going through the huge list I found and picking things out. I already picked out the next three or four series I'm going to review but afterwards I'll be picking the series that I'll review randomly off of the list.

Now one last thing before I'm finished. I realized that hardly anyone will read these reviews, so I decided to reward those of you who do by letting you pick a series to add to my long list. Just tell me what you would like to see in a comment and I'll get to it eventually. Now I don't have any conditions about the series since I'm pretty much a fan of every genre out there. But for you perverts out there, please no hentai recommendations.

One more thing, since I've never even heard of most of the series please keep in mind that I'll have to read all of it before I can start writing the review. So please don't leave me a request for a very long series. For example, I just came across a series called Hajime no Ippo which currently has over 800 chapters. That's just too daunting for me to even start.

Alright, with that said I must return to my packing since I'll be leaving for school in two days. See you soon.
