Goodys:)

This image is specifically aimed at Jewels (me:D) friend Jenny. I represent Mello. For me, I refuse to believe that promise ring stuff and firmly stand my ground. If Jen is reading this, I hope you know that, but i'm here for you all the time anyways, ok?

I don't see why everyone hates poor Mello. I like him. He's pretty cool, he's smart. Sure he's rash and he looks like a crazy girl with a choclate addiction, but I think he has good morals underneath all that poor hungry mania. He cared enough to be sad when Matt died right?

And NO, as far as I'm concerned, Matt and Mello are NOT together. They werre best friends, thats ALL! Why do people always have to go all sick minded and assume the worst?? Jeez guys, cleanse your minds. They were clearly best friends!

In celebration of the Gintama Volume 8 that comes out on Tuesday! And provides a reminder that school starts on the same day!!! :@ GRRRR!


<---Gins so cute when he's little! <3

And another random image of Gin and the gang that I love:

First Things Come Last

FIRST THINGS COME LAST

MANGA
[mahng-guh]
–noun
A Japanese graphic novel, characterized by highly stylized art.


ANIME
–noun
[an-uh-mey]

A Japanese style of motion-picture animation, characterized by highly stylized, colorful art, futuristic or past settings, violence, and sexuality.

(source: www.dictionary.com)

In otherwords, its the stuff we all love.

Anime and Manga have become so popular, and are becoming even more so as the generation goes on. To think that it hadn't been recognized as a part of Japanese culture, or even as art evena decade ago, is unreal to most of us, who are almost addicted to the bittersweet storlines and art of our mangas and animes.

The genres and types go on forever, for all different interests and age groups. Everyone can find a graphic novel to their liking, if they know what they are looking for.

Here, we're going to try and cover some of this diverse world, and hopefully convince people into becoming anime freaks themselves.

A bit about US:

The people who are running the blog are Jewels and Sarah. YAY! We hope your not too disappointed with us. We get sidetracked...and fangirlish...so...yeah.

I'm Jewels. This is my OCD, to come clean with you. I can safely say that I am an anime-niac, and most people think I'm weird for it. My top three animes/ mangas are Bleach, Death Note, and Gintama. I've got all the theme songs and music on my iPod. My favourite characters are Ichigo Kurosaki, Gintoki Sakata, L, and Jealous
