February 19th '09 - College Papers SUCK

I had a test today in my Art class and I figured, "Hey, it won't be so bad. It is an open book test so it shouldn't be that hard." And then I get into class and he hands us the test. I look at it. Nine essay length paragraphs and one list.

...

WHAT?! I swear to gosh my hand was a freakin' noodle before I left class today. >_<;

So...anime today. Last Saturday, I attended an anime convention in Evansville, Indiana known as EVille Con. It was its very first convention (and it was awesome!) and they had an anime viewing room. There were titles showing that I had seen before such as Ouran High School Host Club, Azumanga Daioh, and The Wallflower. But there was another title I had been interested in after seeing in Best Buy known as Black Blood Brothers.

This series is pretty awesome, at least what I've seen. The premise of this series is that during a way known as the Hong Kong war, an Old Blood named Jiro Mochizuki (also known as the Silver Blade/Sword) fought and killed the Kowloon King and the Kowloon Children. Ten years later, Jiro travels with his younger brother Kotaro to the Special Zone, a city where vampires can live in secret. Jiro soon realizes that the survivors of the Kowloon Children are trying to create an uproar to get into the secret city. Jiro has to fight off the Kowloon Children and people from his past to ensure the safety of the Special Zone.

I have really fallen for this series. It's pretty good and the English dub is very well done. J. Michael Tatum (Kyouya Ootori, Ouran High School Host Club) lends his talents to Jiro, while Kotaro is portrayed by Leah Clark (Suzuka Asahina, Suzuka). The Compromiser, Mimiko Katsuragi, is voiced by Colleen Clinkenbeard (Riza, Rose, Fullmetal Alchemist) and the vampiress who asks for Jiro's help, Kelly Wong is voiced by Monica Rial (Kyoko Kirisaki, Black Cat).

My friend bought the DVD soon after we got back from the convention and she's also bought the second one. I can't wait to see more of it! ^____^

Thanks for reading guys. Hope to see ya'll next post!
