Hikaru no go! TAKESHI OBATA MANGA!

First let me start of this vlog by telling you guys i've been gone some time. Not vlogging and stuff like that. I apologize for my absence.
Now without further ado let's start the VLOG!

Is a manga by Artist Takeshi obata author and artist of many series. Death note, Bakuman, rap grad. Just to name a few. The writer is Yumi Hotta.

The plot of Hikaru No Go bases around an asian game named go. As you probably wondered " Hikaru  No GO" probably had to do with it.
 Because i'm defining the PLOT of the story and not the fashion in which Go is played i will give some basics to how it's played.
You may think go is similar to somewhat similar game named othello. But go is different. Instead of using chips to decrease the amount of spaces in othello in Go you try to increase your amount of space by surrounding your opponents chips. Like othello the only colors are black and white.

OK. So onto the plot of Hikaru No Go.
Hikaru ( The main protagonist of the series) finds a go board in his closet and thinking it's worth some money. Spawning an old ghost from japan's distant past. named Sai.  With knowledge from the past she lays in Hikarus thoughts. Knowing nothing of Go Hikaru learns soon that this ghost is a master. When it comes to the learning curve of Go Hikaru feels he does not have the brain.
Sai has a hunch that Hikaru as some potential. Sai teaches Hikaru the basics so she could direct him what to do in a Go game. They attend a tournament With a well known go master who's son is a very skilled go player.
Akira ( the master's boy ) Faces Hikaru in a go match. He analizes he's new to the game by the fasion in whitch he lays his chips. But with the knowledge of Sai on Hikaru's side He ends of receiving victory.

Over time he learns from Sai's knowledge start's a Go ADVENTURE!
Overall i really recommend this manga/anime. It has an awesome episodic feeling.

Kingdom hearts 3 TRAILER REVIEW!!!! ( thought's about trailer )

    A couple of weeks ago Square, released concept art for Kingdom heart's 3.
     Kingdom heart's 3 was first presented at e3 2013 at the sqaure enix booth along with Final Fantasy 15 ( that's another story ) Before i start with what i personally think the plot will be let's start with the development.
Okay. So despite getting a trailer knowing that FINALLY kingdom heart's 3 is being worked on. Tatsuya Numura has said  that Sqaure enix is currently VERY early in development.
But what i keep thinking about is that " WELL ATLEAST IT'S COMING "
Nomura quoted that he wanted to take full advantage of the new systems graphics ( being the ps4 )
What i'm happy about is that their was some gameplay shown that looked beautiful.
As you can see in this pic. It show's Sora fighting some Heartless. 
What i really liked about the gameplay was the various views Sora was in. To make gameplay more climatic. 
In the lower, right corner you can see Sora's life bar as well as Goofy's and Donald's.
At the start of showing kingdom heart's 3 we see Sora walking on Destiny island's beach and Find's the keyblade master's key blade ( from birth by sleep ) Or master Eraqus.
As you can see in both pic's. We see the same keyblade so the plot as to do with a connection of sora becoming a keyblade master. 
Even through Riku became the keyblade master in Dream drop Distance. 
After that the trailer ends.
I'm so freaking exited for this game!!
But i really need to save up some bucks for the p34. 

My thought's on the NEW DS ( NINTENDO 2DS )

                    Almost a week ago nintendo announced a new system. The nintendo 2ds... Nintendo also set the same release date as pokemon x, and pokemon y. For marketing purposes.

The feature's of this new system is that it has the ability to play 3ds games, and regular ds games ( so the whole shebang ). 

                     Instead of having to tilt your eyes to the top of the screen both screens are put together creating on whole screen. Making some games easier to play ( without confusion ) Games like " The world ends with you "
                                As you see here playing this game on the 2ds would be less oppressive. So i plan on purchasing this game for the 2ds.

          The 2ds price plan's one being a solid 130$ dollar's for american money.
           I personally thing this system was created to process both systems instead of only having both systems in order to play separate games. So really you are saving some money for not purchasing both systems.
To me this is not a new product by Nintendo i personally think it's to make some game's easier to play. Or the, ability to play all previous ds game's from 3ds, to ds,

The top 3 MOST ORIGINAL MANGA!!!!

                          Most original manga? 
                 This is my personal opinion of what manga has stood           the test of time and still is beloved my many.


        Number 3. Bakuman. Art by Takeshi obata. Plot by tsunami ohaba
Despite Bakuman being some what new so far i think bakuman has benefited many manga artists across the globe.  The reason for this is the amount of knowledge being directed from people that have experienced all the boundaries that made Bakuman even more amazing. This manga depicts all the hardships that our two main protagonist's experience. Overall this manga gives an amazing insight about the manga industry and how it operates.

Number 2. One piece. Art and plot by Eiichrio Oda
One piece is just pure genius. I think Eiichrio oda has such amazing perspective when creating this manga. He has told his audiance that the soul inspiration from his manga is dragon ball. One piece bleeds adventure. With amazing original charters, Funny comedy, Colorful ilustrations, ( as you see above ) And really one of the only forms of entertainment that has made me cry. 

1... dragon ball. art and plot by akira toriyama.
let me start of with akira toriyama's art. Ofcourse we all love his art. Being inspired from many sources. One of many being walt disney. Dragon ball really created the manga that would come in the future being ( naruto, one piece etc. ) The reason for this is interviews and Q n a's about Eiichrio oda and masashi kishimoto. They all said that their soul inspiration was dragon ball. Many manga artist today would not have been as successful if it were not for dragon ball. So dragon ball to me stood it's time the  best and has created the magazine. 
SHONEN JUMP

AMAZING new manga SHOGEKI NO SOUMA

                     okay so about when this manga first came out i was searching for some new shonen jump manga. To get some more variety. You know.. besides the big three ( bleach, naruto, one piece, )

So about one chapter in on the manga i was hooked.
The art was amazing. and the plot just made me shake for more. Literally shake...
Besides toriko i've never seen a manga that has to do with cooking. And it's one of those manga's where you are so curious as to how the artist came up with a plot about cooking. That made it so EXITING.
Here is the summary of the manga.
From Dan of Population GO: Yukihira Souma's dream is to become a full-time chef in his father's restaurant and surpass his father's culinary skill. But just as Yukihira graduates from middle schools his father, Yukihira Jouichirou, closes down the restaurant to cook in Europe.Although downtrodden, Souma's fighting spirit is rekindled by a challenge from Jouichirou which is to survive in an elite culinary school where only 10% of the students graduate. Can Souma survive?

My top 3 faverite one piece arcs.





Number 3.   arlong arc/fishmen arc
i really felt emotional when reading this arc. It gave us all a insight about nami's past. And luffys moment where he saved nami. 

Number 2. the saboudy arc. 


I loved this arc so much. The reason why is the amount of characters presented. I think Eiichrio oda did an amazing job with the presentation of it as well. 
Just seeing characters 40 volumes earlier is awesome. Eiichrio oda not forgetting about his characters is a true fan service that not many mangaka's do. 


NUMBER 1. WATER SEVEN

you're probably wondering why i have not picked more popular arcs such as the oh so popular marineford arc and the reason for that is because i am currently at volume 53 of one piece. My opinion will probably alter after i read the next 7 volumes of one piece. But until then this is my faverite arc and here's why. 
First of all the art and creativity in this arc is amazing. Not only does one of the most be loved characters leave ( being robin ) but also reveals her past. No matter how emotional or un-emotional you get you will or probably balled you eyes out after robins past was reveled. 
Eiichrio oda also did an amazing job depicting the amounts of effort the pirate crew did.
Overall i loved how luffy's crew did the impossible in this arc and gained their name's as one of the pirate's with the most bounties.
- thank you A. B. F.
