I got the latest issue of "Shonen Jump" in the mail today, and I want to make it known here and now that I am OFFCIALLY sick and tired of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" covers! Come on Viz, Yugi's been on the cover for almost half a year, give him a break and let some of the other franchises on the cover.

Hey everyone, seeing as how I didn't post a new review on Friday, I have posted my two cents on Viz Media's new magazine "Shojo Beat" in the Editorials section. This editorial is cool because it sort of passes as both an editorial AND a review! So you get the best of both worlds. See folks, I take care of you. See you Wensday.

Hey guys, sorry for not updating today. Yesterday my car broke down, I spent the whole day towing the car to various car shops and what not, and now I'm $600 dollars poorer and am not really in the mood to patch up the new review and post it. So I'l just post it on Monday (I should feel better then). Sorry. On a much more happy note though, I finally got my copy of "Shojo Beat" in the mail, and I'll have a editorial of that up next week. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to see if anyone at work wants a couple days off.

I'd like to stay and chat, but it's payday and I'm off to get my check. In the meantime though, enjoy my review of "From Eroica With Love." Chow!

And of course, tomarrow has now turned into four days later. I really got to stop doing this to you guys, as it must be annoying. I'm off to see Hayao Miyazaki's newest masterpiece "Howl's Moving Castle" today, but before I go I leave with my two cents for (get ready) "Batman: The Movie." Yeah, how's THAT for a change of pace on this site?! Anyway, got to go, I'll make sure to have the usual three updates for next week.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, today's update has been delayed until tomarrow. Sorry for the delay, but it's just one of those things. You know what I mean.

Browsing the bargin bin doesn't always mean you'll find a lost treasure that has been hidden for far too long. Last week's bargin hunting lead me to the "waste of money even though I didn't spend that much on it" series "To Heart." Come back Monday for a new editorial by yours truly.

Just a heads up: Friday's new review will be posted later in the afternoon rather then the morning. You have been warned.

Seeing as how it's Wensday I have updated my reviews of "Naruto" and "Megaman: NT Warrior" with pictures. Also I figured today would be a good day to make good on my promise that this site would start having some more "fun" articles. Which is why I am presenting the first episode in my new bi-weekly series "Covers I Love/Covers I Hate." Hopefully it will be better then it sounds. You can find this new series in the Features section, but in case you don't want to navigate that section at the moment I've taken the liberty of giving you the direct link to the first episode. But I'll only do that this once. In the future your on your own. And with that come back on Friday for either a new review or an editorial (I haven't decided yet).

Another Monday, another late update, and another apology. My (rather short and sweet) review of "The Devil Does Exist" is now up. See you all Wensday.

Friday, June 3, 2005 5:11 PM

Sorry that I'm so late updating today, but I have finally gotten around to posting my review for "Eyeshield 21." And yes, I made extra sure the Consumer Advice bar was the right one this time. Don't want people laughing for the wrong reasons again.

Since everyone else seems to have one and is doing it, I now have my own blog for you all to read. Don't worry, this won't put an end to annoying rants on this front page anytime soon, it will just provide a place where I can rant about things that have nothing to do with comics and stuff. Will any of you read it. Maybe not, and since I don't care to read anyone else's blogs I won't take offense if you never look at it again after skimming through it, but it's there for those who are interested. Catch you all Friday.

Geez, is it June already? Why is it time seems to fly by much faster the older you get? I've got so much manga to read, so much manga to review, and so little time to do it all. I've finally gotten around to starting "From Erica With Love," a series that was much better then I thought it would be (and now I'm kicking myself for not reading it sooner). I've got more "SGT. Frog" and "Firefighter! Daigo of Company M" that I would love to read, but since I've already reviewed those series I have to wait until some of my titles from my "review pile" get read. Somewhere on my shelf is "Bt'X," a book that is now about a year and a hlaf old and I've still yet to read it (and I'm still completely uninterested in the title). What a life I live. I truly worry for the future of this site once "Conker: Live and Reloaded" comes out. Anyway minor update today, I've added pictures to my "controverial" review of "Confidential Confessions Vol. 6." Enjoy...I think.
