Hot Gimmick

Alternative Title: ホットギミック[Hotto Gimikku]
Release:December 2000 - July 2005
Total: 12 Volumes [not that long...]

" Miki Aihara turned the manga
world upside down with her
salacious, outrageous, and funny
hit series. If you think being a teenager
in America is hard, wait until
you read Hot Gimmick. These Tokyo
boys and girls are really messed up! "

" Unlike most shoujo, Hot Gimmick
isn't all sweet boys and rose petals.
It's much more real and complex, and
sometimes even chilling. The artwork
is top-notch, the drama is high-tension,
and I couldn't help but keep on rooting
for hapless heroine, Hatsumi, as she
deals with real life problems: family ties,
blackmail, awkward first kisses, and a
very disapproving landlady. What's not
to love? "
~ Tania del Rio, writer/artist of
Sabrina The Teenage Witch

Personally,
I really like this manga,
that I bought the first 3 books in
a special edition that only cost about
12 - 15 dollars$ !!!!! :3
Like it is written above,
its about basic teenage drama
and it puts you in that mode of,
"I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!!".
And this site has it completed ^^,
unlike other sites. >_>

Hope you enjoy. ^^v

Grave Of The Fireflies [Live Action]

This is SUCH a sad movie,
it made me cry. TT_TT
I am lame when it comes to
crying at movies....I guess
that is a girly side of me.
But anyways,
this movie sets time during WWII.
When Japan is bombed numerous times
by the Americans.
The story centers around a young
brother and sister [Setsuko and Seita]
who have nothing
but the fireflies at night to keep
them entertained.

After an air raid,
their mother dies, so they stay at their
aunts house who provides them with food.
But how long can a person stay mental
during a war?
The food rations are getting smaller as
time passes,
and the relationship between Setsuko, Seita,
and their aunt are not improving.

If only there wasn't a thing like war.
Honestly,
this movie made me sad and mad at the same
time. Just like "Nobody Knows" movie. It has
a lot of emotional points to think about
but there is a point why these movies
are so good.
Enjoy please ^^v

Gigolo Wannabe

This strange movie somehow got my attention,
although it took me a while to watch it. ^^;;
I recommend to take a break in between the movie
since it feels a little long,
but its a good movie. ^^v

About 7 men who are desperate for money,
they come to this place to audition as 'hosts'.
Only to find out that the man
they were hired by scammened them all and
also took their deposit money.
With nothing left,
they turn this place "Dog Days" into a shabby
host bar, and try to win back some money.
Meanwhile,
the granddaughter of the sympathetic bar
owner has a serious heart condition.
And a typhoon hits them. O_O
Will they be able to have a successful host
club? Will the granddaughter survive long enough?
With 7 men,
they find themselves learning about love,
friendship, and trust.

Have a good time. ^^v

Little Time Left >_>

Sooooo,
summer is almost over. TT_TT
I'm a little nervous because I
still didn't do a walk-about
with my schedule,
and being in a new campus is all:
"OMG, will I meet friends?"
"Am I going to get to class on time?"
"Will I be encouraged enough to study
that much on my own?"
"How will I wake up in the morning
for college now? Will it be hard/easy?"
"Will the clubs be fun?"
"Am I going to retain everything
that I have studied in the summer for
japanese?"
and so on....

I guess I should not worry that much,
being that college is just one of those
other steps in life. -_-''
But I can't help to still ask questions.

Oh and some updates::
episode 3 for Buzzer Beat and Koishite are out! ^_^v
personally,
I like Buzzer Beat better...since the
acting is better and the story isn't that corny.

In other news,
I decided to get a haircut this friday?weekend?
My hair was kind of longer than I want.
So I want it to touch my shoulders,
and I will let it grow just a little longer,
but not much.

I have been so tired lately. Not because of
the stress of college coming soon,
but I have been remodeling my closet.
This means,
I took out some junk, threw out some useless ones,
carved the color from the bookshelf and layed on its
side, but the books in size order, buy some boxes/shelf
looking things to put some of my clothes in.
[I don't hang up all of my clothes...>_<]
Put more box like things in my closet of my bathroom
for more personal clothes....
And now,
I don't know what to do with my art things. -_-
Aghh....the problems never end. -_-
And also means it will take a while to post more
things here. Sorry o>_<.

....More stuff to come later.
I promise ^_^v

Usually,
I don't really like fantasy that much,
with the exception of a few (Harry Potter, Lord
of The Rings). And this one has comedy,
and some romance in it too.
Haha,
I am just watching this while "Buzzer Beat" and
"Koishite Akuma" come out with new episodes.
So far,
only watched the first 5 episodes, so if it is
recommended by me,
you know it's good. ^__^v
*By the way,
when you get to episodes 2,4 and 5,
you have to click the video when it loads.
It will take you to the site where it is
originally posted.

Please do not load any of these movies/dramas/mangas
