Asura Cryin’ Season 2 Ep 6

Unfortunately, time has become a big factor in my study life now. And studying is about all I do for life these days so as you can see time becomes even shorter, *sob*. I’m ok though, in case any of you cared, (probably not). But with that, I would like all of you who read and follow my weekly review of Asura Cryin’ Season 2 to please leave me a comment letting me know that you follow. I don’t want to sound bossy and I don’t want to force anyone, but I’m just saying that if I get no manifestations then I will have to stop reviewing this anime.

"Mona Lisa" got NOTHIN on this chick!

 

And if there’s even one person, then I promise that I will keep giving my best reviews for Asura Cryin’.

Ok, so before I start I just wanted to let you all know that I watch all of my streaming on watchanimeon.com, and recently they’ve added an Asian Drama section to it. So they have movies from all these Asian countries including Japan, but what I set my eyes on first was the Death Note movie. Yet, keep in mind that I have never seen any anime episodes of Death Note because it’s just not my style. But I guess this time I got a little interested with how Japanese movies look like with real people. *deep sigh* All I can say is, that I was deeply disappointed with the movie. They actually have like 3 Death Note movies, but after watching the first, I will NEVER even waste my time watching the next. I’m sorry, but how could they make the main character some ruthless, merciless, coward, who sacrificed his own loved on! I just can’t enjoy something like that, sorry.

By the way, I definitely want to recommend the streaming website I mentioned earlier, only because scamp seems to have been going crazy over some rip-off Craproll he got, XD.

Singapore Bans Danny Choo, Blames Popular Blog as Cause of Recession

Singapore netizens received a rude shock this morning when the Ministry of Information and Censoring of the Arts (MICA) announced that they would be banning popular blog dannychoo.com effective tomorrow.

dannychoo.com, a popular web blog among young anime fans, chronicles the life of celebrity blogger Danny Choo, who hails from Britain and now resides in Tokyo with his wife. Also known as the Tokyo Dancing Stormtrooper, Danny is well known for dressing up as a Stormtrooper from the Star Wars movies and dancing on the streets of Tokyo. With an impressive monthly 20 million page views, dannychoo.com attracts readers from all around the world who actively participate in discussions. When not in armour, Danny runs his own Internet solution firm Mirai Inc as CEO.

At the official press conference held earlier today, MICA General Manager for Public Affairs, Mr Ben You, pointed out that according to statistics, one of the reasons for the country’s slow economy growth is due to 69% of the workforce spending long hours daily surfing the Internet during office hours.

“We all know that time is money. dannychoo.com was found to be the site most people go to during office hours when they should be doing work. Hours wasted on the Internet can means a delay in work, which in turn affected productivity, which ultimately will cripple the country’s economy,” explained Mr You. “We have no choice but to initiate the ban to restore administrative efficiency.”

Online forums and blogs were blazing with debates. Mr Oh Da Ku, 26, an engineer in the semi-conductor industry and frequent visitor of dannychoo.com for the past 3 years, was saddened by the news.

“I admit to visiting Danny’s blog during office hours. Reading Danny’s entertaining and motivational posts inspired me to do my best in life. I even make it a point to come to office early to get my daily dose of Danny Choo before I start work. All the health related posts also help me relax during those long hours at work,” Mr Oh said.

Miss Annie Mae, a student blogger, wrote in a recent entry on her blog: “I enjoy reading Danny’s posts about Japan’s unique culture, it’s people, happenings and watching his stormtrooper videos. Now with the ban, I guess I’ll just have to stick to second-rate sites like gordonator.com.

New NASA Carbon Material Could Make Space Elevators Possible

“Houston, I think we reached the moon.”

“The idea of an elevator that could transport humans into space with ease has long been a fantasy of science fiction writers. However, a new form of carbon ribbon could actually make it possible.

Motivated by a $4 million funding prize from NASA, the team at Cambridge University developed a light, flexible ribbon that is believed to be the world’s strongest. Currently, the team is producing 1 gram of the material per day, enough to stretch to 18 miles in length. According to Alan Windle, professor of materials science at Cambridge, NASA wants 144,000 miles of the stuff—but he notes that it would take an industrial level of production to make that happen.

Still, this once preposterous idea is actually gaining some traction. The Japanese have already seriously considered making one out of carbon nanotubes and some believe that this new project could get the job done in as little as a decade. I’m not buying that—but I’m still keeping an open mind. [Times Online via io9]“

1g per day? Hmm…I am taking Materials science and engineering how tough it would be to iron out the imperfections at the atomic level but…I guess it’s still pretty far away from completion. Now where’ my gundam?

Btw, anyone still wants PSP Gundam 00?
