After spending half an hour, I finally got 2 site for your needs in watching Asian movies. Those are Crunchyroll and mySoju. Crunchyroll do look like Youtube but at the same time it is a social networking site. Because user/viewers can do or create a group, have a comment on a movie and upload some of their favorite videos. The video streaming in Crunchyroll is quite faster than other video streaming sites. The slogan of the site which is “feed your need” is actualy true. Like, for me an avid fan of Jdrama, Korean movies and lots of anime wants a site where I could watch them all fast and wouldn’t wait for some time to load a movie. Crunchyroll reall feeds my need. Its social networking features is another thing that I liked in Crunchyroll. There are many groups from Japanese, Korean, Filipino groups. And not only that, they also have groups sor some artists, anime and many more. My review on the site? Well I liked the thing that they have a fast video streaming, and also I liked how they make the people communicate with each other. Crunchyroll is really suggested for those who wanted a fast video streaming and to meet other people.

While on the other site, mySoju has video which are mostly dramas and came from Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Their site is just for watching and no more. But I think they have the most updated collection of Dramas esp. on those 3 countries. Their video streaming is somehow fast for a person like me whose connection is a broadband. My review on the site? I liked there collection of videos. Because they have some of my favorite shows like “Honey and Clover”. So one thumbs up in that. Second, compared to Crunchyroll, I found out that there (mySoju) streaming is a little bit slow. But overall I suggest that you should try this site especially when you love dramas came from Korea, Japan and Taiwan, well you should try this.

Yes its already finished! The GMA7’s franchise of American Idol, the Pinoy Idol. The finals was on August 16&17, 2008. The finals is very star studded. From Callalily, Rivermaya, Basil Valdez and many more. The other ex-finalists is also there, Penelope, Warren Antig, Kid Camaya, Toffer Rei, Daryl Celis, Sue Ellen and many more. Ram Chavez, Jayann Bautista and Gretchen Espina did a very great job for the three song they performed. First eliminated is Ram Chavez. The last two finalist sung “To You” which is written by Ogie Alcasid and to be the Pinoy Idols song. The declaration of the winners is a breath-taking one. And the winner is Gretchen Espina

I heard this new show in GMA7. Its name is Codename: Asero. I think they got the name from a metal. The main characters are Richard Guttierez as Grecko Abisamis/Agent Phoenix Heart Evangelista as Emily San Juan. The story starts at the Advocate where Greggo is working. The Advocate has a mission for him and his partner Geron (Janno Gibbs), to get the project HERCULES which led them to Dubai. Fortunately, thats the place where Emily is working. She works in a shop where she is being accused to be a thief. And in order to prove that she is innocent, she needs to get the cd which contains the video of the surveillance camera. And to do that she needs to go to a party where the cd is. And that is also the place where Greggo’s mission is located. And after getting what they want, they would separate ways without knowing that they have switched the cd. The project Hercules is in Emily’s hands while the video is with Greggo. And there their love story starts. I think its the first Scifi show of GMA7. Its good that they introduce a new kind of show for their viewers. I think I loved all of their Telebabad show because they know what the people wants. And starting a new show like that could be a great hit to the mass.

For the special effects is 7 (10 is the highest). Because its not what I expected in a scifi show like what American shows and movies does. And I feel its not kinda realistic. For the story, 9. Even though its their first time to create a show like that they got what I want, more adventurous and more thrilling. for their characters and actors, 10. Because they choose the right persons that suits each role. Richard is best in every role that he plays. Janno Gibbs made the story slight fuuny. Heart makes me sit in front of my tv.

If I had to live alone in an island and to bring only two things. One is a television set with a dvd player and collections of many animes. Since I am grade 3, I have fun watching many animes an cartoons. And I think the first anime I watched is the Voltez 5. Second is Dragon Ball Z. I could say that it is a great anime with many extraterrestrial creatures and slammin powers. My favorite characters are Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Cell, Majimboo because they are good in fighting. Some of my favorite anime originated from Japan. Death Note which I already done a blog for it, is another of my favorites. I wonder how those person behind all of my favorite characters and anime do that kind of creative ideas and designs. If I could be a anime character, I would be either the five. Ichigo and Uryuu of Bleach, Yagami Light and L of Death Note, and Naruto. Ichigo and Uryuu because, they have nice weapons and cool costumes. Like the costume of Ichigo when he call his Bankai, he dress in black and with tissue wrapped around his body inside. The costume of Uryuu which is a white and blue, that made it more attractive. And besides I also want to have a collection of swords which Ichigo and the other shinigami has. Light Yagami and L because they are very intelligent, not only that they are also cute. If I could be Light, I will also do what he done, to have a world with only kind people. And with their intelligence I know I could answer many difficult questions. And last Naruto, because he is a brave warrior. With his ninja skills he can fight those bad guys. And he also keep on trying to see his friend Sasuke.I could say that anime is already part of my life. But I am not addicted to it so much. I still concentrate on my studies.

Last week, I borrowed a copy of Death Note. Thanks to my classmate, Ian. I owe you for this blog post. And this Saturday I watched it in our house. But theres a problem, the remote is broken! But I already fixed it. I was so curious of what and why does its name is “Death Note”. For some reason I thought that it is kind of scary. But its not what I been expecting. Its just a simple notebook with a power to kill somebody. I like the main character which is Light. The story starts on a guy named Light. He is an intelligent and handsome and normal high school student. But when Light found the notebook of the shinigami Ryuk his life began to change . At first, Light didn’t believe in the power of the Death Note but when he tried it on the man who hostage a school and after 40 seconds the man died. Then after 5 days the shinigami Ryuk met Light to confront him and assist as he used the Death Note. The police was alarmed by the death of many criminals by the same way of death, cardiac arrest or heart attack. The ace of the police L tried to solve the case. Light will be known as kira. While Light uses his father, who led the Kira case, to monitor and find those filthy criminals and try to finish them. And the pursuit of L to find the mysterious Kira will start. For my review, I think its pretty cool. The way of death of the people. Its very interesting. And the story with the friendship of an extraordinary to a human, that’s new for me. And their identity remains a secret so that they would not be identified by Light. But I still not yet finished watching it. I’m getting hooked up by the story.

Who knows Bleach? I am talking about the Japanese manga series. If you read the information on about me, you will see that Bleach is included in my details there (if you didn’t read that, it’s alright). But for those who read it thanks I hope you like it. They already know that BLEACH is my favorite manga series. You might say why I’d like it? My answer is that BLEACH has a good story, cool characters and many other awesome features. For the main characters of Bleach I like the character of Ichigo Kurosaki. With his orange hair, tough look guy, cool zanpakuto, cool clothes, and his fight scenes with his enemies makes him really cool. Every time he will fight an enemy he always prove that tough guy thing. If am right his zanpakuto (swords of a shinigami) is Zangetsu. He became a substitute shinigami. Of course we should not forget the other main cast of BLEACH. Lets talk about Rukia Kuchiki. She is a beautiful girl, and she has awesome fighting technique. She has brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, (his brother-in-law). She met Ichigo when she appeared on Ichigo’s bed and she is severely wounded by a “hollow”(evil spirit). To protect Ichigo and his family, she transferred half of her power to Ichigo. Unfortunately, Ichigo almost got the power of Rukia. Rukia’s zanpakuto is Sode No Shirayuki. She is a shinigami of the 13th division. And because of transferring of her powers to Ichigo, she breaked the law of the Soul Society. And sentenced her to the penalty of death. Ichigo’s friend and classmate Orihime Inoue (Inoue for short), is a simple girl until she experience to see spirits. Inoue has a orange-brown hair. She has feelings to Ichigo. I remember that when Inoue experienced to see spirits, her first deadly encounter to them is when she was visited by his dead brother, Sora Inoue. Who became a “hollow”. But then theres Ichigo to save her from her “hollow” brother. Inoue’s weapon is the Shun Shun Rikka or the Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield (the clip on her head that looks like a flower). Her weapon is composed of six fairy-like creatures Tsubaki, Shun’ō, Hinagiku, Baigon, Lily, Ayame. Yasutora “Chad” Sado (Chad for short), is born in Okinawa, Japan but was brought to Mexico. And after the death of his parent he was adopted by Joaquin de la Rosa who appears to be his grandfather. His “abuelo” ( Grandfather in Spanish) gave him a coin Mexican coin to be exact. He is a tall man also and he has a great strength. His weapon is called Brazo Izquierda del Diablo. Uryu Ishida, he is a Quincy. Of course he fight “hollows” but exterminate them that make the human world unbalanced. Uryu uses a blue bow like weapon (like an archer). Uryu is a shy and quiet guy. But I bet some of you like a shy and quiet guy. Renji Abarai , has a red hair and a tattoo on his forehead and also his entire upper body. He came from the 78th district of Rukungai. He befriended Rukia Kuchiki. In the episode where the Bounts are attacking the human world, he helped his friends(Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime, Chad, Uryu) to fight them. As I have watched BLEACH, Renji and Ichigo has some ways of similarities when it comes to thier attidues like Ichigo can easily become angry like Renji’s attidue. Every time I watch BLEACH I always keep all of my work finished so that if it hits the air, there will be nothing that will disturb me watching. Wait for my next article about BLEACH, maybe it will tackle about the shinigamis in the Soul Society and the peoples who helped Ichigo and his friends to got to the Soul Society in order save Rukia from death.
