Uncustomary Hiccups

Deranged extreme.

Split the Sky 

So I've just picked up the translation of 187 of bleach here. You need to register to read the translations. They are well worth registering for. The raw scans haven't even been released yet and I've just been itching to read the chapter, after 186 where Ichigo's dad shows up. I got to the end of 187 and all I can say is "NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO! *gasp* NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" but since I'm at work it was a silent "Nooooo" *gasp* "NOooooo" (shortened so you would have to go through it all over again). I was so frustrated that I raised my fists to the sky. Ahhhh life is so hard.

A lot of people were saying that Kubo (the mangaka: manga author) has made the series excellent with this newest arc which just brings it up a notch. I have to agree but I also have to say he was excellent before then. The fact that the Soul Society arc and Rukia's execution just ended and this is already stepping off the pages well...duh, not many people would have the imagination or the drive to have such a complicated story and keep you intrested in the 187 chapters...this thing is going to last so long. Arrrgh. Ok I'm done with my manga section.

*Thanks for that commercial break Bob, and now on to the serious portion of the news*
A shamless plug to get people involved and interested. Check it out. I think I'm going to try and pick it up for UAAO.

Changin' my Life: Eternal Snow So I've been posting her stuff lately, but this song is from the Full Moon wo Sagashite Anime. It's one of my favorite songs and i can sing along with every word even though I don't know much Japanese ;3

Its a bit slow so I'll include this. It's the Bleach season1 opening song. I have only seen one episode but I can't remember it. I like this cause near the middle end there's this pause and then they start singing...its cool yeah just listen yourself. Orange Range- Asterisk
