Yakitate!! Japan

---

Azuma Kazuma isn't terribly clever, but he's got a good heart and great skill - at baking. Since childhood, he's been on a quest to create the perfect bread to represent Japan internationally. Now, he seeks to enter the famous bakery Pantasia, in hopes of reaching his goal. But plots abound...

---

English Bread, German Bread, French Bread....where's Japan bread?




Azuma Kazuma. He will be the one to make Japan's own bread!


Kawachi Kyousuke. Azuma's friend and rival and also colleague. He is the weakest link! (Well, when he is in seed-mode, then he can be a force to be reckon with, somehow).




Suwabara Kai. He is the Samurai-cum-baker. And main rival to Azuma Kazuma. (However, so far the score is 3 Azuma - 1 Kai)






Tsukino Azusagawa. She owns Pantasia Southern Tokyo Branch. And she is the one that asked Azuma and Kawachi to come over to her branch to work as bakers.


Pantasia Southern Tokyo branch manager Ken Matsushiro. He knows quite alot of things too about bread. And acts as a proxy for Tsukino Azusagawa who is too young to manage the store just yet.


Meister Kirisaki. (looks familir, don't he?) He is the General Manager for the Main Branch of Pantasia group.


Pantasia Southern Tokyo branch!


Ryou Kuroyanagi. His skill is to taste and judge how good a bread is! And he "KNOWS" everything! (almost everything actually).


Kinoshita Kageto. He is the senior employee at the Pantasia Southern Tokyo branch. And he is mostly forgotten by the others, but he has a special skill though.


Azuma's motorcycle crazy sister, Inaho Azuma!


Pantasia Southern Tokyo branch main rival St.Pierre Main branch!

Black Jack

---

Black Jack is an "unregistered" doctor with a clouded, mysterious past. He works with his little assistant Pinoko (who has a massive crush on the doctor), dealing with medical cases not very well known, which can be strange, dangerous, or not known at all. But he is a genius, and can save almost any of his patients' life (as long as they have the money for it, that is), and is known to many around the world, especially to those of medicine and science. He's a man of science himself, and does not believe much until he has seen it, yet it is many times he is surprised by love and nature often overpowering the science he bases his life in.

---

His name is Black Jack! (actually, it's not his real name).


He is a freaking more than just "World Class" Surgeon!!! In fact, you can ask if he is really human or not with his super surgery skill!




She is Pinoko. She is a child Dr.Black Jack created out of a special kind of tumor called a teratoma, who insists she is his wife.


She might be "Franken" child, but she is actually very good in assisting Dr.Black Jack in the surgery room! Better than any qualify nurse out there!


This is his clinic.


Pinoko and Largo(the dog). Largo is a dog that was save by Dr.Black Jack. (yes, he can also operate on animals.)


This is how outrageous his fees is (Though he doesn't ask for that much usually. His average fee is about 30,000,000 yen!!).


Dr.Black Jack and Pinoko!


Pinoko's "trademark-ed" "Oh My God face"!!!


Other doctors are always "awe" by Dr.Black Jack's skill in surgery!


Kumiko Honma (left) and Wato (right)


Pinoko's weird friend. Wato's younger brother. (This is a character based on another manga by "The God of Manga")


Kumiko Honma. She is actually the daughter of Doctor Honma who operated and saved the life of Dr.Black Jack when he was young.


The Master of Tom's Bar. Dr.Black Jack managed to perfectly reattached two of his fingers!

Fate/stay night (フェイト／ステイナイト)

---

Shirou Emiya lost his parents in a fire when he was young and was later adopted by a sorceror by the name of Kiritsugu Emiya. Although he was full of admiration for his adopted father and yearns to become an ally of justice, Shirou has limited powers and was unable to become a strong sorceror like his father. That is until one fateful day, he was drawn into the Holy Grail War and had to summon a female "Servant" known as Saber in order to protect himself. It turns out that the Holy Grail War involves a series of battles among powerful sorcerors to fight for the possession of a relic that will grant one's wishes, the Holy Grail. There are altogether seven "Masters" who can summon their respective "Servants" from different classes known as Saber, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Lancer, Caster and Assasin. These "Servants" have to hide their names in order not to reveal their weaknesses to the enemies. The story revolves around Shirou and his entanglement in the Holy Grail War.

Valentine's Day.......

Here is a pic for those who will be having a nice day on Valentine's Day!

I got this from a forum. It was a sig from a forum member.

Note : Fate/stay night has been taken out due to Valentine's Day, it will be back later.

New year, new layout.

It's the usual again for me this year. I am going to change the layout of my blog. Some people that used blogspot had already switch over to Wordpress and other blogging software. I can't afford to switch over though, so I will stick with Blogger as long as I can.

If you see anything weird on my blog, it is just me tweaking the CSS thingy.

Live from Penang Bloggers/Netizen gathering venue.

I am posting now from the Penang Bloggers/Netizen gathering venue in Penang. And it was informative and special. I think after this gathering there will be several more bloggers/netizen jumping on the podcast bandwagon.

I don't think I will make the jump yet, as my voice over the mic sounds terrible and it sucks. Even Simon Cowell will shout "YOU SOUND TERRIBLE!".

Anyway, even if I want to podcast, I would probably only talk about animes and tv series. Anyone interested?

Skype-Hype......

After looking high and low all over the internet about Skype and if it got spyware/malware or not, I still am not convince it doesn't have spyware/malware or something like that.

Before anyone shout "IGNORANT BASTARD!!" right at my face, I would like to say that there ARE articles and people out there in the Weird Wild Web that also doesn't trust Skype at all. And the ratio is almost 50-50 for believers and non-believers.

I have been called silly, ignorant, stupid, weird, insane, very stupid......and such because of my distrusts of Skype just because Skype was developed by the people behind Kazaa. I don't trust Kazaa. And naturally I sure won't trust something that is being developed by the people that is related to Kazaa.

Instinct tells me that Skype can't be trusted. Call it what you want. Call it Paranoid. Call it stupid. Call it ignorances. Call it very stupid even. When there is a time where you instinct tells you something, do you listen to your instinct or do you just ignore it?

24 days into 2006.......before that.....

And in the US TV series scene, some new series for 2005/2006 got cancelled or went into hiatus.

Heather Graham's debut series Emily's Reasons Why Not crashed and burned after episode 1 was aired.

Out of Practice runs out of practices and is now in a hiatus!

I don't know what other Desperate Housewives's fans are thinking, but for me, I think the housewives are getting too desperate!

Killer Instinct got murdered by FOX network 9 episodes into it's first season. Case still unsolve!

Nothing is insteresting in new series Book of Daniel and South Beach. Nothing to shout about for either.

Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey's Threshold plan failed and the alien race named "Cancelled" took over earth. THE END.

Ted finally met his (supposed)future wife in How I Meet Your Mother, but is this just another red herring?

All three CSI's are hitting the heavy blows and don't looked like stopping.

Lost is still Lost to me. Don't think it is that exciting or groundbreaking.

The wedding between Luke and Lolerai might not happened after all in the second half of Season 6 of Gilmore Girls. Apparently, Luke found out that he has a daughter that he doesn't know until now and can't seem to focus on anything other than trying to make up for lost time while Lolerai who managed to patch things up with Rory, has to endure a delayed wedding or no wedding. The Lolerai Wedding Jinx is still alive and well!!

Meredith Grey lost Dr. Shepherd in Grey's Anatomy not on the operating table but on the love table!

Defective Detective Adrian Monk continues to solve cases in Monk but no where near curing his own phobia's and the murder of his wife Trudy!

Over in UK, David Tennant took over the role of The Doctor in Doctor Who (2005) from Christopher Eccleston. The new Doctor invaded Christmas 2005 and is looking forward to Season 2 of Doctor Who (2005).

Cassie Hughes dies leaving Thelma alone to fight against Cassie's evil son Malachi in HƎX. Ella joins in the fight, but in the end, they couldn't stop Malachi. Is this really the end for the good guys?

Over in Hong Kong, TVB's new lineup for the year end 2005 and the first half of 2006 doesn't look promising with some series that isn't up to par. Series like 隨時候命, 胭脂水粉 although I managed to finish watching them, but both this series aren't up to par in storylines and acting. Although 阿旺新傳 was the best so far, while series like 識法代言人 and 妙手仁心Ⅲ I couldn't finish them for the moment. The storyline was uninteresting. I hope TVB's next few series would be up to standard.

Over in Japan, a few series are hitting a high for us Jdramers. And a few animes are hitting a high too.

Manga turned Anime turned live-action Hana Yori Dango took Jdramers by storm as it's unusual episode number of 9 was good enough yet it left people wanting for more and the 3 words at the end of episode 9 was an indication that there will be more rich guys and rich girls and a poor girl.

Although for 2006, there doesn't seem to be a hit Jdrama series, however, most of them are more than decent to watch which is way better than TVB 2006 lineups!

New animes like Kasimasi - Girl Meets Girl and Aria the Animation just to name a few. I can't list all of them, since there are too many. As usual, Animes don't disappoint at all.
