Holiday Rants

Sunday, December 11, 2011

Exams are finally over and holidays just started! So I'm going spend a great deal of time ranting about my past few days of blissfulness!



One Piece is the best anime/manga in the world! The plot is filled with action and humor. For someone like me who enjoys getting a good laugh out of shows, One Piece suits perfectly. I'm honestly shocked that I did not discover this long running anime years ago! So right now, I'm taking my time to catch up with the latest episodes.

I absolutely adore Luffy! His silliness, strong sense of camaraderie, innocence, and conviction make him quite easily my favorite anime character. Other Shounen anime/manga heroes like Allen Walker from D. Gray Man, Uzumaki Naruto from Naruto, and Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail tend to suffer from this pervasive sense of self-pity/hatred/guilt. However, Monkey D. Luffy does not. When Luffy meets a strong adversary or faces defeat, he wills himself to stand up, strengthens himself, and launches into another battle.

Apart from falling in love with One Piece, I'm also watching Durarara!!. I'm in love with the ending theme song! (The song is playing right now.) Is that strange?



MOST IMPORTANTLY, I finally bought The Legend of Sun Knight volumes from Kinokuniya. I was really surprised that the bookstore held LSK volumes! The story is written in traditional Chinese so for someone like me who learned only simplified Chinese in school, it's taking quite a while to digest the contents. Oh! The hell I put myself through to consume a good story!



You can read the english version from two sources: LSK blogspot or Prince Revolution.
