Soul Eater 4:

Maka and Soul were attacking a phantom and Soul devoured his soul. Next day, Soul was lazing in bed until the cat witch woke him up. Maka was not pleased to see the sight and sent him out of the window.

New day in school, the students were discussing about soul collection when Soul tried to strike a conversation with Maka who beat him again. They talked about Sid-their ex teacher who was killed in mission. Just then, the teacher entered. It was Maka's father who tried to impress Maka with his cool image. He told them that he was taking over Sid temporally. He gave Soul an E on the attendance. He told Soul and Maka that Shinigami wanted to see them. Black Star and Tsubaki were watching them from above but Soul and Maka already saw them. Together, they went to see Shinigami. He had a mission-remediation for four of them because of their zero achievement of souls. He wanted them to destroy Sid who had turned into zombie or they would be expelled from school.

Later that night, they went to Sid's grave and waited for him. Maka and Soul were still depressed over their result. Sid suddenly appeared and attacked Maka. Soul pulled her off in time. Black Star, Tsubaki, Maka and Soul faced off Sid. Maka knew it was going to be a tough mission because Sid was a three star Meister while she and Black star were one star Meister. Meanwhile, the cat witch was having a relaxing bath as the other four were having tough time fighting Sid. Maka and Soul used their Resonance of souls technique against Sid but accidentially shot the wrong direction. Sid was shocked by the powerful impact and dug underground to attack Maka. Black Star blocked him in time. He hid underground again. Black Star activated Trapped Star and bound Maka with Sid. Maka was not pleased. Death the Kid asked Shinigami about Death Syncth's first partner was Frank Stein while Maka's mother was his second partner. In a room, someone was working. Maka and the rest were watching his occupanied building from outside.

Soul Eater #5:

Shinigami was mentioning to Death the kid how powerful Professor Stein was. Outside the building, the two Meisters and their partners had located Professor Stein who sent a toy mouse at them. He fell out of his building and went back in. He fell out again. They questioned him if he was the one who turned Sid into zombie. He admitted as he treated everyone as his experiment subject. He could see through their souls. Maka knew he was a first rate master. Black Star fought him but was not his match. Meanwhile, Syncth was flirting again and was being reminded of Maka's possible reaction and got depressed. Other place, Maka and Black Star tried to fight Stein who recalled Maka as daughter of Scynth-his working partner. Scynth recalled his dreadful experience when Stein performed experiments on him for five years when they worked together. Same time, Stein defeated Maka and Soul easily. Shinigami meanwhile explained the importance of weapon and Meister's coordination but Stein did not need a weapon to use his power. Same time, Stein grabbed Maka and started drawing lines on her stomach. Black Star attacked him and free Maka from his grip. However, Stein was not affected by the impact. Stein sent electrical attack on Black Star who collapsed in blood. Death the kid and his weapons left to help as he couldn't watch on anymore, not minding even if he had to be enrolled as student in school. Maka was meanwhile shocked to see strong soul light emitting from Stein and knew she was unable to win. In school, Patty and her sister told Death the kid to hurry up as he was upset with the way his toilet papers were folded. Same time, Maka was throwing her temper when Soul tried to coax her into fighting Stein. After some encouragement, she agreed to try again. They tried their Resonance of Souls technique. Stein was impressed with their powerful technique as they drove their shot at him. Still, he broke the attack. Stein approached Maka. Soul tried to shield her but Stein touched Soul's head and told him that they had passed. Apparently, Shinigami had told him to test them. Sid had also been deceiving them for purpose of Remediation mission. Black Star was also only unconscious. Next day, Maka was still complaining of her dreaming of being performed on by Stein when he stormed in as their teacher. Maka and Soul were aghast. Tsubaki and Black Star were not amused.

Of course, Shinichi solved the mystery only to be dragged into another incident again which was to continue from manga 63.

Detective Conan (Anime) #509:

In school, Jodie called Conan when he was in school and warned him about a tip off from Rena about a new Black Organisation spy - Baborn in the case and told him to help them keep a lookout for Ai's safety. Conan suggested going to Agasa's place and Ai knew immediately it was something to do with the call from Jodie earlier. Ayumi spotted a kid placing a case into their shoe cabinet and they accepted the case. As the kid had something on that day, they agreed to go to his place the next day. They noticed the kid kept calling Conan 'Koroshi'. That night, the kid's house was on fire. Conan and the rest were shocked when they arrived at his place the next day.

The boy was still alive but unconcious. The boy had left a paper note stating the possible culprit who was one of the people staying at his place. Ai sensed one of the stayers was someone from the Black Organisation. Each stayer was given a colour code and Conan had to guess who each person meant. At the end of the incident, one of the stayers was the culprit. Conan allowed another stayer- a uni student to stay at his place (i.e. Kudo Shinichi's neglected mansion).

[This episode was from the manga so I'll not be typing any further details.]

Detective Conan (Anime) #512:

Kogoro was telling a fortune telling lady in her mansion about his detective work while Ran and Conan waited for him in the same hall. During photo taking time, one of the producers told Ran and Conan about the mansion while the fortune lady scolded her helper for the coffee quality. Later, the lady had an arguement with the actress, she had a way to replace the actress in a work with someone else unless she introduced the lady to someone. When they walked out later, Conan noticed the grudge on the actress's face. Ran went to fortune lady asking her to check her luck and she passed a jewel at Ran's side temporary for luck. Ran was delighted. In hall, Conan overheard the helper's unhappiness over not being allocated to a part on the show. Kogoro moved around looking for washroom and saw the actress walking other way. Outside the house, Conan observed a green flying bird.

At night, Ran knocked on the fortune telling lady's door but she did not open it. The others went to check and Conan found the door locked. From outside the window, they found the lady-Rika lying unconciously on the floor. One of the men broke into the ceiling and opened the door for others to enter. Rika was already dead. Conan knew it was a murder within locked room. Meguru and Takaki arrived at the scene. Conan noticed a bird's feather among the broken glass. All the people in the house were questioned. Conan noticed Ran walking away downcasted and followed her. She told him about the jewel which Rika passed to her before her death. Conan walked and checked from top of the ceiling above the death scene and knew what happened. He sent Kogoro to sleep and begun the deduction show. The murderer had threw the key through a small hole on the ceiling glass after leaving the murder scene. Someone had recorded the voice of Rika and replayed the tape after her death to send the actress away from the outside of the door. The culprit was deducted to be the producer who had crashed into the room to open the door as he was the one familiar with the keys on the floor despite there were other keys around eventhough the jewel of the key had been swapped after Rika passed the jewel to Ran. Apparently, Rika had blackmailed him earlier forcing him to commit such murder. The event ended and Conan asked Ran what she had wanted to know and she told him she wanted to know Shinichi's whereout. Conan reminded her that Kogoro was still sleeping in the mansion.

Finally found the 22nd and 23rd opening of Detective Conan.

22nd Opening of Detective Conan

23rd Opening of Detective Conan

Also managed to screen cap a bit of D.Gray Man and FMA movie..

D.Gray Man..

Fullmetal Alchemist Movie

I've managed to read the remaining 2 stories of the latest manga.

1) Conan and the rest noticed there was a paper plane flying into the classroom. Meanwhile, there was a news broadcast about a kidnapper who committed suicide and the victim was still unfound. Same time, Ran and Sonoko went to Shinichi's house and found a Uni student staying there (with Agasa and Conan/Shinichi's permission of course!). Sonoko and Ran challenged him and Conan (Shinichi) to solve the mystery of the paper planes that had been flying around the nearby buildings. Both resolved the case at the same time, revealing the whereout of the kidnapping victim who was trapped in the underground cellar of a hotel. Ran ignored Shinichi's warning not to act alone and Shinichi (Conan) yelled at the police authority to arrive at the scene, fearing for Ran's life. It was a false alarm as there was no more kidnapping accomplians in the building. The uni student drunk a wine that night in the living room, there was a suspicion that he could be someone from the Black Organisation.

2) Conan, Kogoro and Ran went to their usual cafe and noticed that the waitress had been closely monitored by police inspectors because her brother was suspected to be involved in a murder case.

The last story is discontinued till manga #62. Am still waiting.

Blassreiter #01: Preclude to Despair

On a racing course, a competition was going on with crowds of audiences in daytime. In a van, someone was found on a bed, it was a dead naked woman. She was covered with a piece of cloth. Meanwhile, the race went on. Besides the man, the dead woman revived and evolved and killed the two workmen on the van. At the race course, the ambulance van dashed into the road before banging into the wall. A metal like figure originally evolved from the dead woman walked out and shot the competitors and audiences.

The others watched warily. The steel man evolved into Gerd. Hermann approached him. The woman was watching the scene as she took a puff.

COMMENT: Dark and moody. Dull plot and nothing impressive at this moment. Plenty of special and 3D effects though. Not my type of graphics. Besides, it looks like another one-hero-saving-the-world type anime. I doubt I'll want to watch any further episodes unless I really have nothing else to watch. Ending theme: 'Sad Rain'

Detective Conan Manga #61:

I've just bought the manga a few hours ago and have managed to read two of the stories. I'm still in process of reading the rest of the stories.

First story: It's another Conan Vs Kaito Kid when Suzuki's uncle tried to lure Kaito Kid with a precious slipper treasure. Like usual times, Conan solved the problem and gained all the spotlight again.

Second story: Conan, Ayumi, Ai and the rest went camping trip with Agasa. Along the way, the car ran out of fuel. Before they considered approaching the nearest manor for help, a passing driver stopped by and rejected with a rude laugh before driving off. Within minutes, there was a loud explosion and Conan ran to the scene to find that he had been killed in the explosion. After some investigation, the deceased's fiancee was the culprit as he had caused the death of her parents years ago when he rejected to help the gravely sick father for medical aid.

Yayyyy, finally bought Detective Conan #60 this afternoon, have yet to read it though. Will probably elaborate at later times! XDDDDD

One of my favourite scene in the latest FMA manga issue... Chang Mei hugging Alphonse.

They are so cute together! ♥ Wonder what will happen if Chang Mei sees Alphonse when he gets his physical body back.

About the special DC video which advertised Movie 8-Magician of the Sliver Sky:


Have also watched a video that features and advertises Movie 8 of Detective Conan. Agasa invented a program-Christies YP to trace real identity of all criminals. The stupid program talked about the past appearance of Kaitou Kid, Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran, relationship of Shinichi and Ran. It also discussed the music theme and rough summary of DC movie 8 where someone imposed Kudo Shinichi into the threatre where led to murders. In addition, the program did several flashbacks of Black Organisation and Haibara Ai. It even assumed Kaitou Kid as Kudo Shinichi. In the end, the program failed because Kaitou Kid had hacked into it.

Bleach #163:

Orihime attempted to escape from the room and met an explosion at the door instead. The two Espada-Loly and Melody smirked at her. Orihime asked them to leave but they stayed on to bully her. Grimmjow blasted the wall and interfered, beating the two female Espada away to return his debt to Orihime for healing his left arm. Other place, Ishida defeated the biggest manipulated Arrancar. Granz introduced himself to Ishida. Granz laughed as he could fight with a shinigami and a Quincy. Ishida shot Granz in his chest. Renji watched on as Granz went on his knees. The arrow vanished to Ishida's astonishment. Granz got up, laughing. In other place, Loly woke feeling well and unhurt, she recalled herself being seriously beaten by Grimmjow earlier. Melody told Loly that Grimmjow had demanded Orihime to heal her own face but instead she ran to heal Melody and Loly's wounds with her power. That was why Loly survived. Melody was shocked by Orihime's ability. Other place, more manipulated Arrancars attacked Ishida. These Arrancars also had Granz's earlier ability to dilute effect of Ishida's attacks. Ishida's bow and arrows vanished. Renji rushed forward and accepted a blow, shielding Ishida from the impact. Both of them fought, back to back, against the Arrancars and Granz.

Detective Conan #498: Disturb


Was watching episode #498 which is also part of issue in manga 58. It was about FBI trying to get one of Black Organisation member who was also a spy within the organisation back without rousing any suspicion by playing along with Gin and Volka's tricks (all thanks to quick wit of Kudo Shinichi and Shuichi). Shuichi thought of his late girlfriend-Akimi who was also the elder sister of Habara Ai. Akimi had knew of Shuichi's identity back then (before she was killed by Gin later) and did not hate him for using her to infiltrate into the organisation.

Went to the library yesterday and managed to borrow Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows as well as bought book 59 of Detective Conan manga. Yaayyyyy~~

Did a quick flip of manga 59 of Detective Conan. Shuichi was confirmed shot dead by Kair who was threatened by Gin. And Ai never got the chance to see him or knowing about his relationship with her late elder sister.

Currently just finished the first 5 chapters of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows' last night. Harry's uncle, aunty and Dudley had to leave the house upon nearing of his 17th birthday to avoid attacks by Voldermort. It turned out Dudley did not dislike Harry after all and they bidded farewell for the last time before they parted. Mad Eye, Lupin and the rest went to fetch Harry. Ron and the rest took the poly juice to take the form of Harry so as to act as decoys. Mad-Eye and Hedwig died in the process. Harry's wand did a strange move to act on its own accord and escaped the dangerous encounter with Voldermont.

A man who had helped Kogoro made the reservation arrived and informed him that he had made the reservation elsewhere. They noticed 3 treasure hunters passing by. Conan knew they were looking for treasures under the sea near the island. The man took them to the place and along the way, he explained about the island and its ruin in the seabed. Their house of residence was a low raised hut run by Mima who appeared unfriendly. The detective kids (except Conan) wanted to go treasure hunting. Kimiko passed diving suits to Ran and Suzuki Sonoko who wanted to go diving. There, they saw the three treasure hunters again. They were told of Annie (a female pirate 370 years ago) had hid treasures of silverware in the seabed. In the car, Ran and Sonoko were told about the two female pirates-Annie and Mary who looked after each other's back in their final battles. In the exhibition hall, Ai and Conan were not amused. All visitors were given treasure maps. Ai knew it was just a kid's game in return for a surprise present. Ai could tell Conan was attracted by the quiz. At the sea, Ran and Sonoko were ready for diving. Kimiko was their guide. In the sea, they saw a shark and dived to a safe corner. They saw a treasure hunter bleeding below and his two companions protecting him. Kimiko, Ran and Sonoko immediately returned back to the boat. On the shore, the children were doing treasure hunting when they noticed a school of fish in a part of the sea. Ai noticed a boat speeding from afar. Conan followed the kids to the lower level to see plankton and then, a treasure box in the game. Ai motioned Conan and informed him that he saw someone bleeding on a boat, hinting she could be Ran. Conan ran off. In te hospital, Conan and Ai arrived to see Ran alright, but one of the treasure hunter was in critical condition. Conan entered the doctor's room and told Ai his doubt about only one out of three hunters being attacked. He saw the suit with a packet of fish blood inside. It might have burst under high sea pressure, luring the sharks to him. He knew it was an attempted murder. Kogoro entered the room, drunk. Conan showed the suit to Kogoro who did not know a thing. Ai hinted it heavily to Kogoro. Outside the emergency room, the man was pronounced dead. Kogoro approached the doctor and informing everyone about the attempted murder. Ran told Conan that diving suits were normally kept in diving office. Ai and Conan went to investigate and Ai pointed footprints at the area where people usually did cleaning. Conan approached one diving staff who informed that the office door was never locked. In their bedroom, Conan was being harrassed by the detective kids to help them in treasure hunting. Without a choice, Conan went to look for them and found a path blocked. His guide came along informing him where the detective kids had went. On the end of a bridge, Ayumi noticed some writing on the other side and the three of them went across. Ayumi told Genta to stop for he was over 40kg and he could not pass it. Ayumi found the next treasure. Conan arrived at the other end and together, all of them went back. In the sky, the police arrived in helicopter. Megumi went to meet Kogoro. Satou questioned the two hunters about their awareness of two robbers who were arrested earlier in Lupin's disguise and they denied. They left. Takagi managed to obtain their fingerprints by faking a need for smoking.

In the Mima's house, Conan and the rest had dinner and Agasa gave the kids a qui again. The answer was squid. Conan knew the answer again. Agasa asked Mima why he allowed them to stay in his house for the nights and he told them that they were better than the treasure hunters. In the house, Takagi demonstrated how to obtain fingerprints and Satou was impressed. Conan and the others went to the beach for the next treasure after dinner. They found it. They went for the next treasure. From afar, Conan noticed the activities of the remaining treasure hunters in their room. Conan ran off to investigate. He saw them leaving. He ran into one diving staff and ran off after chatting with her. In police office, an alarm rang in the Tourism office. Someone was breaking in to steal the treasures. They were the treasure hunters. The identity of the hunters were out. From afar, Conan noticed someone shooting the hunters as they made their escape. Conan climbed up the hill and took photos of the evidence. Kogoro in the meanwhile was having a lonely drink with an elderly hostress. He ran out in time to see his guide who informed him of the break-in. Kogoro ran off with him without paying his bill. Elsewhere, Conan informed Satou and Takagi about the gunshot. The sword and pistol of Annie and Mary were stolen. Kogoro was arrested on the spot for not paying his beer bill. Conan noticed some strange spots on Kogoro's shirt and knew something.

Next day, the kids were going for their meals with Ran and the rest while Conan was still checking a bike. He noticed GPS system on it. Conan asked Ayumi about Imagana and she told him she had not seen him around. After meal, Conan went investigating all other bikes alone. The police were unable to find the criminal treasure hunters. Elsewhere, Ayumi and the rest found the last treasure. Other place, Ran and Sonoko were disappointed not being able to go diving because of the strong wind. A police approached the diving staff for she was wanted for questioning. Conan went to ask Mima if the hunters had stolen the weapons to find the treasure. For Conan knew Mima used to be a treasure hunter based on overhearing his and Agasa's conversation. He showed Conan. Other place, the kids were guessing the hidden quiz among the information they had gathered. They went to ask Kogoro. Kimiko was guiding Sonoko and Ran when they were confronted and threatened by the two hunters who held them as hostages. In a room, Mima showed all data which he had gotten to Conan and the other kids. It matched that of information Ai, Ayumi, etc had obtained. They convered the numbers into alphebetes. The word was 'Jolly Roger'.

At the seaside, Ran was about to hit the hunters when they used Sonoko as hostage again. They were taken onto their own boat. Kimiko was knocked unconscious at the shore. Ran and Sonoko were summoned onto the boat. Mima showed Conan and the rest a photo of Jolly Rouge island which was drawn 300 years ago. On the boat, Sonoko and Ran were taken towards an island. In the room, Ai found another word 'DOS DIOSOS' within the skeleton image, meaning two Goddess in Spanish. Conan and the rest found Kimiko collapsing outside the hut, informing them that the hunters had kidnapped Ran and Sonoko. Ai told Conan to be careful before she left. Conan asked Mima to take him to the sea. Agasa arrived as he had just learnt of the incident and passed mini air-tanks to him. Ran was shocked to see them cutting a wound on Sonoko and there was blood stain on both of their suits left long time ago. Conan knew the hunters needed Ran and Sonoko to divert attention of the sharks near the treasure spot. Conan and Mima found a blood stain boat left by the hunters. In the sea, the hunters made use of Sonoko's wound to divert the sharks and pushed her to it. Ran grabbed a spray from one of the hunters to get the sharks away from Sonoko. Ran guided Sonoko to a narrow gap, away from the sharks just in time. They reached a dry place where the hunters had just arrived. They were held as hostages again. Conan and Mima reached the temple for the two ancient pirates and Conan hurried towards it. Other place, Kogoro was aghast to learn Ran's situation and Satou had to knock him unconscious to stop his dash act. The rain fell heavily. Ran and Sonoko were shocked to see skeletons and were angry because the hunters used them to test the air in the temple. Using the weapons to unlock the door, the hunters ordered Ran to open the door. It was still not working. They readjusted it and opened it to find the treasure at last. It was a pirate ship.

The hunters were angry not able to find any physical treasures and decided to kill Ran and Sonoko. The two girls stood back to back against the attackers. One hunter took out his gun at them. Conan arrived in time to knock him down with his kick. He bound them up. Conan called someone to come out, knowing he had been following him all the while. In the office, Kogoro was unhappy to know that only Conan ran after Ran. In the cave, Iwanaga-the guide came out of his hiding place. He knew the guide had been leading all along in order to find the treasure ship. Conan explained the clues behind the quizzes and Ran was surprised at his knowledge. Conan lied that it was Kogoro who told him all these. Suddenly, there was a blast and water started pouring into the cave. The entrance was blocked. All of them got onto the ship. Conan passed the mini air tanks to Iwagana, Ran and Sonoko, leaving none for himself. He told them to get out if the ship hit the ceiling. Ran could see Shinichi within Conan and trusted him.

In the hut, Ai was looking out for Conan. On the ship, Conan prepared to kick the chains up as the others went to the cabin. He made a rush to Ran just in time as the ceiling crushed. Conan found himself having difficulty breathing. He woke to see Ran sacrificing her air tank to him. From the surface, the ship broke out of the water before the police and Kogoro who were looking out for them. Ran and Sonoko went to the deck and waved at them. Suddenly, the pillar collapsed followed by rest of the structure. Conan called all of them to jump to the sea where they were rescued promptly. It was the end of the treasure ship. Conan told them that the map was not for treasure but for Annie to send message to Mary who was in prison to look for her.

COMMENT: As usual, the final culprit was easy to guess. But the scenery graphic was good.
