Work, work, work.....

...lots of it. So much so, that I didn't have time to write reviews. I have been working on chapter 3 of MWP though, and the two re-writes of it  Y_Y  I'm going to use this x-mass brake to work on it. So, sorry about the lack of the updates, but if someone wants to write reviews and post them here with minimal oversight hit me up at "roninkiheiji@yahoo.com".

The 13th Warrior


When I first saw this movie I thought that it was going to be a dumb action flick, but then I discovered a plot. A plot that was shallow, yes, but it was there. Why shallow? Because it is the characters that drive this story and the situations they find themselves in. The "bad guys" are there to get the "heroes" to fight but it is the characters that you will most likely to follow. The 13th Warrior is a nice story, and one  that I enjoyed, but to say it's is rely good is not the truth. It is an ok story with a few exceptions, and those exceptions are diamonds in the ruff. Check this out.

Bakuman


The story within a story really fits well with this one. Bakuman, is a manga that's about a mangaka, so if you're expecting a battle manga look elsewhere, this particular manga is vary down to earth in its storytelling. It's not about the big guns or the best weapon, it's about following your dreams and I know that sounds terribly romantic, but it isn't. The usual tropes are not there either or they've been changed, and one can't remiss the fact that the story is funny sometimes while never getting to carried away with itself. The story is intriguing enough to keep you interested in the business side of the manga world, and yet I can't help but feel it was unwise for Jump to let slip how they do a lot of their business in manga form. Nevertheless, this is a fine tale to read and enjoy should you chose to do so, to witch I highly recommend.

P.S. Sorry for being late I was unable to publish this.
